Three days later, the Flame Woman once again placed the Fire Calamity Fruit at the center of the altar inside the Star Whisper Heavenly Tree.
She was preparing for another baptism.
This time, however, it was different from before.
The Flame Woman did not pour her own power into the Fire Calamity Fruit.
Instead, she intended to draw upon the purest Fire Element energy beneath the Scorching Plains North Horn, unleashing the Heaven and Earth Fire Calamity.
Only in this way could the Star Whisper Heavenly Tree use its immense power during the Heavenly Fire Calamity to nurture the life within the fruit into the embryonic form of a Flame Belle.
Otherwise, the Flame Belle's embryo could never take shape inside the fruit.
"@#..."
At that moment, the Flame Woman knelt in worship before the Star Whisper Heavenly Tree.
Her majestic, queen-like voice echoed as she chanted mysterious, ancient words.
As the chant continued to resonate, brilliant fire energy erupted from her body.
At that very moment, the crimson branches and countless maple-like leaves of the Star Whisper Heavenly Tree began to sway.
Soon after, scarlet divine flames ignited across every branch and leaf!
Boom!!!
The instant the divine flames ignited, it was as though a blazing sun had fallen from the heavens above Fang Yu and the others.
The blue sky and white clouds were instantly transformed into crimson skies and scarlet clouds.
The burning flames were extraordinarily powerful.
From Fang Yu's perception, their level of danger even surpassed the Flame Woman's Calamity Flames.
Fang Yu couldn't help but marvel.
As expected of the tree that gave birth to the Flame Belle.
The Star Whisper Heavenly Tree truly was no ordinary existence.
Boom!!!
Under the scorching heat, the Fire Calamity Fruit began to pulse.
Suddenly, accompanied by a thunderous boom, flames spread outward from the Star Whisper Heavenly Tree in every direction.
If someone had been watching from outside,
they would have seen the direction of the Star Whisper Heavenly Tree within the Scorching Plains North Horn engulfed in blazing crimson, looking like an entire kingdom of flames, a boundless sea of scarlet fire stretching endlessly across the land.
This was the eruption of the Fire Calamity.
The flames released by the Star Whisper Heavenly Tree were spreading throughout the entire Scorching Plains North Horn.
Under the Heaven and Earth Fire Calamity,
all living things withered away.
Only the purest Fire Cloud Elemental Spirits could survive.
However, the Fire Calamity Fruit was the one true protagonist of this grand spectacle.
This Heavenly Fire Calamity existed solely for it.
The Fire Calamity scorched the land, completely purifying the entire region.
Endless, majestic energy flowed back, gathering within the Star Whisper Heavenly Tree, allowing it to nurture the unparalleled Flame Holy Spirit with even greater ease.
When the Fire Calamity finally subsided,
the Star Whisper Heavenly Tree had accumulated enough energy.
Moments later, an even hotter crimson flame erupted from within the Star Whisper Heavenly Tree.
The flames blazed like a scorching sun.
At that moment, the boundless heat seemed to answer an invisible summons, all converging into the Fire Calamity Fruit.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
Upon the altar, amid the dazzling sea of flames, countless fiery serpents coiled around the Fire Calamity Fruit.
During this process, the life force within the Fire Calamity Fruit steadily grew stronger.
After streams of light flashed, the entire Fire Calamity Fruit was fully revealed before Fang Yu's eyes.
The Fire Calamity Fruit remained wrapped in flames as radiant as the sun, while the figure inside became increasingly clear.
This signified that the Flame Belle within the Fire Calamity Fruit had been fully nurtured.
All that remained was to wait for the day the shell broke.
On that day, the Flame Belle would be born.
One week later, beneath the vast night sky,
a colossal tree stood upon the edge of a towering cliff, its branches seeming to gather the stars themselves into fruit.
Fang Yu sat cross-legged beneath the Star Whisper Heavenly Tree, deep in meditation.
When he had first arrived, his Fire Element cultivation had surged dramatically.
Now, its cultivation speed had gradually begun to decline.
His body had developed resistance.
However, with the help of that energy, he had completely stabilized his High-Tier Fire Element cultivation, and had fully mastered the control of his Star Particles.
He was now capable of freely casting High-Tier Magic.
During this period, apart from meditating and becoming familiar with his magic,
Fang Yu had spent his time sweeping through the Scorching Plains, which had been cleansed by the Heaven and Earth Fire Calamity, gathering every valuable resource he could find.
Another day passed.
"It's time to get down to business.
Judging by the timing, the White-Clothed Ghost Woman should be arriving soon."
Fang Yu ended his cultivation and went to find the Flame Woman.
Before the White-Clothed Ghost Woman arrived, Fang Yu chose to reveal the truth to the Flame Woman, Jiang Feng.
"How could she... How could she possibly do something like this?!"
Hearing this, the Flame Woman, Jiang Feng, looked utterly devastated.
She had lived alone in the Scorching Plains all these years, with the sole purpose of protecting the birth of the Flame Belle.
However, during that time, she had rescued many humans.
The White-Clothed Ghost Woman had been one of them.
But how could that woman use her name
to deceive her own daughter and family?
It was utterly malicious!
Usually gentle and kind, even she could not suppress the overwhelming fury rising within her.
Just as the Flame Woman learned the truth,
a group of people was approaching.
"Lin~~"
The Flame Woman sensed them.
The moment she turned to investigate,
her emotions fluctuated violently.
Fang Yu could only sigh inwardly.
She had sensed her daughter,
Chen Ying.
After learning the truth, she was heartbroken over her daughter's fate.
After all, Chen Ying had unknowingly mistaken her enemy for her mother, living her entire life trapped in lies.
While Fang Yu was lost in thought, the group drew near.
Leading them was a middle-aged man whose hair was combed back and tied into a braid.
Beside him stood a date-red Desert Fire Horse, and seated atop it was a person completely wrapped in white cloth.
Among the group were also Zhao Manyan, Lingling, and the others, though Mo Fan was nowhere to be seen.
At that moment, Lingling spotted him.
Her face lit up with delight as she immediately ran over.
"Fang Yu, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here for the Flame Belle,"
Fang Yu explained."Then where's the Flame Belle? Have you found her yet?"
Lingling asked.
"Not yet,"
Fang Yu replied.
"Is the Flame Belle the one beside you?"
Zhao Manyan also walked over and asked curiously.
"No. She's the Flame Belle's guardian."
While Fang Yu and the others were talking,
the White-Clothed Woman called Chen Ying over and whispered into her ear.
Her purpose was to have Chen Ying assassinate the Flame Woman.
Hearing those words, Chen Ying stared at her "mother" in complete shock.
She couldn't understand, why her mother wanted her to do such a thing.
Wasn't she simply sending her to her death?
"Trust me. She won't hurt you,"
the White-Clothed Woman said confidently.
"But I..."
Chen Ying hesitated, unsure of what she should do.
"Don't worry. as long as you do exactly as I say, nothing will happen. Kill her and you'll obtain the Fire Calamity Fruit. Then I'll recover my health, and your father's status will rise even higher..."the White-Clothed Woman continued coaxing Chen Ying.
Thinking that it could restore her "mother's" health and return her beautiful appearance,
Chen Ying finally seemed to make up her mind.
Concealing a snow-white magic weapon,
she slowly walked toward the Flame Woman.
Once Chen Ying came within five meters,
the blazing flames surrounding the Flame Woman would incinerate anything that approached.
In other words, if Chen Ying took just a few more steps forward, she would be burned alive.
"What are you making Ying'er do?"
The leader Zhao Yulin, the middle-aged man with his hair tied back in a braid, turned his head and asked.
"Just watch. Ying'er will be fine," the White-Clothed Woman replied, barely able to suppress her emotions.
Zhao Yulin fixed his gaze on the "Jiang Feng" wrapped in white cloth.
"That's an incredibly powerful demon. Yet you're sending Ying'er in. Human hearts truly are heartless. You weren't like this before."
"People change," the White-Clothed Woman answered.
"But what if Chen Ying is burned to death by those flames?"
Zhao Yulin asked in a deep voice.
"She won't."
"You're that certain?"
"I would never gamble with your daughter's life."
"She's your daughter too,"
Zhao Yulin reminded the "Jiang Feng."
