Chapter 590: The Child Flame~ The Void Lord!
Hun Miesheng gently caressed the human-faced black flame in his palm, his expression filled with fondness, as if he were cherishing his own child.
And in truth, this thing was indeed a precious treasure to him.
With it in his grasp, his strength and status within the Hun Clan stood at the very peak.
Other than the Soul Demon Saints, there were few in the clan who could stand above him.
Wu Tian stared at Hun Miesheng and chuckled softly.
He had long known that this Void Devouring Flame was not the true body.
However, even so, he could clearly feel that this Child Flame of the Void Devouring Flame was extraordinary.
Its devouring power far surpassed any fragment of the Void Devouring Flame he had encountered before.
Wu Tian, possessing multiple Heavenly Flames, was practically a walking archive of all things related to them.
On the entire continent, there was no second person who understood Heavenly Flames as deeply as he did.
Which meant
He not only knew, but he could also sense that something about this Void Devouring Flame was off.
"The Void Devouring Flame in your hands… its devouring power is unparalleled, impossible to replicate… But ultimately, it is still lacking."
"It is the same as what Gu You and Mu Gu wielded nothing more than a Child Flame."
Wu Tian's gaze locked onto Hun Miesheng, his calm voice stirring waves of unease in his opponent's heart.
Child Flame a term that made Hun Miesheng's expression flicker slightly.
A Child Flame was a mere offshoot of the true source a fragment born from dividing the main flame.
These fragments inherited some of the abilities of the original, and the stronger the main flame, the more powerful its fragments.
Essentially, this was akin to creating an avatar, a duplicate of sorts.
But the process of splitting a Child Flame was far beyond what ordinary Heavenly Flames could achieve.
It required immense power and an unnatural talent in the art of flames.
Right now, Wu Tian wielded a fusion of:
Bone Chilling Flame
Nine Dragons Thunder Flame
Fallen Heart Flame
Ocean Heart Flame
Storm Dragon Flame
Green Lotus Core Flame
Nether Poison Flame
Yin-Yang Twin Flames
Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Flame
Xuanhuang Flame
A total of ten Heavenly Flames an unprecedented fusion.
If he wished, he could split them into fragments.
But he never did.
Why?
Because dividing a fragment meant dividing his own power.
For a true powerhouse, this was a last resort, something only done if absolutely necessary.
But for the Void Devouring Flame?
It was different.
It was the Void Devouring Flame!
Its true body was a Nine-Star Dou Sheng, a monstrous entity capable of devouring entire worlds to strengthen itself.
Even its fragments retained terrifying devouring abilities.
This proved just how frightening the true Void Devouring Flame was.
When Wu Tian uttered the words Child Flame, he saw Hun Miesheng's eyes narrow slightly.
Clearly, the Soul Hall Master wasn't very good at hiding his emotions.
Wu Tian smirked.
If the true Void Devouring Flame were here, then perhaps he would be concerned.
But this?
This was just a fragment.
Nothing to fear.
Had it been the true Void Devouring Flame, the very heavens would have collapsed under its devouring power.
There would be no hesitation, no need for Hun Miesheng to waste time.
"No wonder you're the 'Flame Collector'… With your knowledge of Heavenly Flames, I suppose it's impossible to hide this from you, Wu Tian."
Hun Miesheng laughed softly, acknowledging Wu Tian's insight.
In the Hun Clan, the Void Devouring Flame was of utmost importance.
It was not something a mere Soul Hall Master could control alone.
If Hun Miesheng truly possessed the Void Devouring Flame's true body, he wouldn't just be the Master of the Soul Hall
He would be the Master of the entire Hun Clan!
Aside from the Clan Leader, no one had the authority to bring the true body out of the Hun Realm.
"But even a Child Flame is more than enough… to destroy you!"
Raising his palm, Hun Miesheng's black flame let out a piercing screech.
Then
It bit into his own fingers.
At the same time, a torrent of Dou Qi surged from his body into the black flame, feeding it limitless energy.
Everyone watching felt a chill crawl up their spines.
This flame… was devouring its own wielder?!
And yet, Hun Miesheng remained composed, his face only slightly paler than before.
Meanwhile, the black flame grew larger and larger.
A hideous, twisted human face formed in its core.
With a deafening shriek, the Void Devouring Flame expanded to a hundred meters in size.
The entire sky turned into a sea of black flames, causing all Dou Qi users to feel a suffocating pressure on their bodies.
Their own energy felt as though it were being ripped away, forcefully extracted from within them!
Even Soul Hall warriors found themselves losing Dou Qi against their will.
At this rate, if they didn't stop it
They would all turn into lifeless husks!
A temporary ceasefire took place as all fighters, both from Soul Hall and Heavenly Court, scrambled to protect themselves from the devouring power.
Only Half-Saints and above could resist it.
Even Dou Zuns were struggling to maintain their energy flow.
Under Hun Miesheng's full control, the Void Devouring Flame had temporarily reached the late-stage of a Six-Star Dou Sheng!
"SQUEAK !!"
The massive human-faced flame let out a hungry, unnatural cry.
Its hollow, abyss-like eyes locked onto Wu Tian.
And then
It licked its lips.
Wu Tian froze.
…
Did this flame just drool over him?!
That was an insult!
"This Void Devouring Flame is getting too cocky…"
"Void Lord, kill him!"
Hun Miesheng's voice thundered across the battlefield.
The moment he uttered the words Void Lord, a wave of dread swept through the crowd.
If Hun Miesheng was calling this entity Void Lord…
Then
Was the true body about to descend?!
A horrifying thought gripped everyone's hearts.
Would the real Void Devouring Flame soon arrive?!
"SQUEAK !!!"
The massive human-faced flame let out a shrill screech before surging forward.
The entire sky darkened, turning into an abyss of devouring flames.
The battlefield was now engulfed in total darkness.
Tension filled the air.
If this continued…
Would Wu Tian lose?
