Chapter 317 Beat up even the father!
Irene ignored the sudden shout and instead plunging her blazing white longsword, "Light Slicer," into the chest of the Candle King, annihilating 20% of his divine power.
This time, the Demon Candle King's divine power also fell below the danger line, and with less than 10% of his divine power remaining, he was forced to fall into a deep sleep.
"I told you to stop, didn't you hear me?"
A voice filled with rage spread across the starry sky with divine power, and a majestic being surrounded by jet-black flames appeared, its power overwhelming.
Even the three Zerg queens, who were practically invincible at the highest rank, changed their expressions drastically: "Cosmic Venerable!"
"It's Venerable Fiery Corruption!" Inside the Meteorite Star spaceship, the well-informed Dylan blurted out, startling Luo Feng: "Venerable Fiery Corruption has arrived?"
Luo Feng had heard the name of Venerable Fiery Fire from King Zhenyan hundreds of years ago. He knew that this was a peerless genius like 'Kodi', a heaven-defying existence who could kill Marquis-level experts during the Realm Lord era.
Moreover, unlike Kodi who perished early, Venerable Fiery was a genius who successfully lived to the time of the Universal Venerable, fully realizing his potential.
"According to Master Zhenyan, this Venerable Fire Erosion is at least a High-Level Venerable."
Luo Feng was anxious. "Although Chen Yuan also said that Ireil's strength is no less than that of a high-level Venerable, can she be a match for Venerable Fiery Erosion?"
Just then, the enraged voice of Venerable Fiery Erosion rang out again: "Put him down!"
Everyone looked over, only to see that Ireil remained calm and paid no attention to the other party. Instead, she raised her hand and put the bodies of the Demon Candle King and the other sleeping immortals into her world ring.
At this moment, Venerable Fire Eclipse was truly enraged. Originally, he had refrained from taking action due to the prohibition because the other party had left a trace of the Demon Candle King's divine power and had not completely wiped him out.
But seeing that the other party was actually going to take his son away, Venerable Fire Eclipse could not tolerate it. The pitch-black flames surrounding his body instantly surged, sweeping across a million kilometers, turning everything in its path to ashes.
No, it wasn't just burned to ashes; the entire starry sky was incinerated into a stream of particles in this raging inferno.
At this moment, the fierce, pitch-black flames were rapidly spreading towards Irelia, seemingly poised to burn her to ashes.
However, despite this overwhelming force, Irene's expression remained unchanged; instead, a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Playing with fire? You've come at the perfect time."
"When all the trees come together, they can split the sky."
"Pure and clear glass, a flame that scorches the world."
"combine!"
As the longsword in her hand blazed with a blinding white light, her emerald eyes gazed at the oncoming flames, and with a gentle flick of her wrist, she uttered: "Slash!"
The next second, a blazing white sword light, resembling a raging flame, met head-on with the pitch-black sea of fire.
Strangely, the collision between the two did not result in a violent explosion; the flame-like white sword light simply merged into the pitch-black flames.
"What kind of secret technique is this?"
For a moment, Venerable Fire Eclipse couldn't recognize the type of the other party's secret technique. As an expert in playing with fire, theoretically there shouldn't be any fire-related secret techniques that he hadn't seen.
However, his doubts did not hinder the attack of the secret technique. As the dark flames swept towards Irelia, his expression suddenly changed slightly: "How is this possible!"
Suddenly, a white light appeared at the end of the pitch-black flame, and then this white light began to expand instantly, turning the flame in front of Irelia into a blazing white in an instant.
"How does my secret technique feel, melting the wood into the fire?"
With a soft laugh, the blazing white flames in front of her began to engulf the flames, spreading into a sea of fire spanning several square kilometers in the blink of an eye, and then sweeping towards the black flames that stretched for millions of kilometers at an even faster speed.
The Fire Venerable's expression changed as he felt his divine power being eroded by the other party. He quickly severed part of the divine power connection and withdrew the remaining black flames.
However, even though he reacted extremely quickly, the dark flames were still significantly eroded by the strange, blazing white flames. When the Fire Venerable withdrew the remaining flames, he discovered that he had lost as much as 3% of his divine power!
The loss of divine power finally calmed the Fire-Eroding Venerable down, and he began to take the white-haired girl opposite him seriously again, saying in a deep voice, "A flame that can erode divine power? I have never seen such a secret technique that utilizes the laws of fire."
"Who said that's the law of fire?"
The blazing white flames, which had spread for tens of thousands of kilometers, returned to Ireil's side, swirling around her once more. She smiled slightly: "Old man,"
Have you heard of the Law of Fusion?
"The law of fusion, is this the secret technique of fire-space fusion?" Venerable Fiery Eclipse shook his head repeatedly after saying this. "No, I have also studied the way of fire-space fusion, it is definitely not like this."
Suddenly, he noticed the life-giving energy emanating from Irelia's body, and his gaze sharpened: "You specialize in the Law of Wood? Was that a Wood-Fire Fusion Technique just now?!"
"You only figured it out now? You're incredibly stupid, unlike a genius." Irene shook her head slightly. "You couldn't even see such an obvious fusion law? How did you cultivate to become a Venerable all these years?"
The Venerable Fire Eclipse ignored the sarcasm in the girl's words and said indifferently, "Little girl, you don't even know you've gone the wrong way."
"If you study the laws of fusion but don't study the fusion of wood and void, or fire and void, and instead insist on studying the fusion of wood and fire, that's a dead end."
"Dead end? Haven't you already tasted the flavor of my 'Blazing Glazed Flame'?" Ireil laughed. "You lost quite a bit of divine power just now, didn't you? If you hadn't severed the connection in time, believe me, I could have burned your divine body to ashes."
"Temporary strength is nothing." Venerable Fiery said calmly, "The real skill is whether you can go further. The way of wood and fire fusion still has an advantage for now, but to become the master of the universe, you still need to master the way of space and time."
"Little girl, you are only pursuing powerful secret techniques while ignoring the laws. This is putting the cart before the horse."
To be fair, what Venerable Fiery said is indeed common sense. For normal cultivators, studying the laws of space and time and gradually progressing from Venerable to Lord of the Universe is the right path.
The black flames of the Fire Venerable appear to be a secret technique of the Law of Fire, but in reality, the essence of the Law of Space dominates the technique, and the flames are merely the appearance.
Therefore, in his view, even if this white-haired girl is powerful for a time, she will ultimately find it difficult to break through to the realm of the Lord of the Universe.
Because the known path to the master of the universe, besides comprehending the laws of spacetime, is to comprehend and integrate, and it must be the integration of higher and lower laws!
Therefore, Venerable Fire Eclipse felt that Irelia's research on the law of wood-fire fusion was a complete misguided path and a waste of her energy.
His words would indeed be a significant blow to an ordinary cultivator, but who is Irene? She possesses all of her master Chen Yuan's memories.
Therefore, Irene did not think that her research on the fusion of wood and fire was a mistake, because if she wanted to reach the end, she would have to study all ten laws.
Her research into the fusion of wood and fire was merely preparation for the future.
and..
"Although I study the laws of wood and fire fusion, when did I ever tell you that I haven't studied the laws of spacetime?"
Irene said calmly, "The difference between geniuses and mediocrities lies here: mediocrities only grope along existing paths, while geniuses create their own."
During her two million years in the Beast God Realm, Ireil did indeed study many strange and unusual secret techniques.
Mainly due to the "possession" secret technique, she was able to fully share Chen Yuan's understanding of the laws, and even the insights of the Nine-Hua Abyss Whale when it fused with the laws through its talent were also included in her database.
It was precisely because of these materials that Irelia was able to comprehend the laws with exceptional ease, without even having to worry about the laws' rejection issues—she only needed to copy her master's memories.
In addition, as an intelligent life form, computing power is Irelia's strongest talent, which is why she researched so many secret techniques.
However, most of her secret techniques were actually failures, and Irelia didn't have many real achievements. This "Blazing Glazed Flame" was already considered one of the top-tier secret techniques she possessed, excluding the strongest ones.
She only mastered two or three secret techniques comparable to the Blazing Glazed Flame.
The main reason is that her understanding of the laws is not yet complete. After all, Irele's main focus is on comprehending the laws of spacetime, and she has only comprehended three lower-level laws for the time being: wood, fire, and wind.
At this moment, Venerable Fire Eclipse heard Ireil's mocking words, but his expression remained unchanged: "Are you trying to say that your actions belong to genius, while we are all mediocre?"
"In that case, there's no need to discuss this topic anymore."
He shook his head slightly. "I came here only because I realized my son's life was in danger."
"Although I don't know what Chaluo did, I know his personality, so it's highly likely that he started it."
"I won't ask what exactly happened. My son has already lost 90% of his divine body, which can be considered as punishment."
Venerable Fiery Eclipse paused for a moment, then continued, "Hand him over to me, and we'll call it even. How about it?"
"To wipe the slate clean?"
Irene shook her head, her tone firm: "Your son offended my master before, and now he's broken the ban. We'll settle both old and new scores. You think you can just take him away with a single word? Not so easy!"
"I must hand this Candle King over to my master for disposal; I have no say in the outcome."
"Your master?" Venerable Fiery looked deeply at the white-haired girl, knowing full well that she was an intelligent life form. "Who is he?"
"My master's name is—Primordial Venerable."
Irene said calmly, "You'd better remember this."
"The Primordial Venerable?"
Venerable Fiery frowned slightly; he had never heard of this name before. He then checked through the virtual universe and found, "Venerable Primordial Beginning, Chen Yuan?"
He seemed to vaguely recognize the name Chen Yuan, and just as he was about to think about it further, his pupils suddenly contracted: "Top-tier overlord strength?!"
The Fire Venerable never doubted the information displayed in the virtual universe, so even when he wondered who Chen Yuan really was, he never doubted the authenticity of the other party's strength.
But Venerable Fire Erosion also remembered that his son had indeed offended Chen Yuan back then, and not just a little, but had even taken action against him!
Even if the Demon Candle King bows his head and submits later, it doesn't mean the matter is over. Especially now that Chen Yuan has become the overlord of the universe, if his son falls into the other party's hands, he will be helpless.
After all, although his Fiery Flame was not weak, he was only a high-level Venerable, far inferior to top overlords like the Undying Venerable and the Heavenly Fiery Palace Master.
"We must not let the tea leaves fall into Chen Yuan's hands."
Since it's impossible to determine Chen Yuan's character, the safest approach is to rescue the son now, which is better than trying to snatch him from a top-tier overlord later.
Thinking of this, Venerable Fiery Stare stared at the white-haired girl's figure and said in a deep voice, "I'm warning you one last time, I only want my son's divine body."
Or you can just execute him, I have no objection.
"But I absolutely cannot let you take my son back."
With his status, even if his son died, he could ask his teacher, the Lord of Void Gold, to reverse time and resurrect him, since he could afford the price!
But if the Demon Candle King falls into Chen Yuan's hands, then he really has no way to deal with it.
He definitely couldn't win in a fight, and the other side was no weakling in terms of backing. If the other side insisted on keeping the Demon Candle King imprisoned forever, he would be helpless.
"Old man, are you questioning my master's character?"
Ireil immediately saw through the other party's concerns and smiled, "You can rest assured, my master is discerning and will always repay kindness and vengeance, but he would never deliberately torment people."
"If your son falls into the hands of his master, at most he will be punished, or at worst he will die. The thing you're thinking about won't happen."
"I will not place my hopes on others," Venerable Fiery said calmly. "Since you are unwilling, then don't blame me."
After speaking, he raised his hand and summoned countless black flames, which condensed into numerous black flame spears that shot towards Irelia.
Clearly, after the standoff just now, Venerable Fire Eclipse had figured out the weakness of the blazing white flames and immediately devised a countermeasure.
Since the white flames have the effect of eroding divine power, he only needs to break down the divine power and turn it into streaks of fire spears to attack.
Even if the opponent can erode the Flame Spear, without the connection of divine power, it can only erode it one by one, and cannot form the wildfire-like momentum just now. "Interesting."
Irene smiled slightly. She could tell that the old man was going all out, but it wasn't aimed at her; rather, it was at the World Ring on her hand.
Clearly, Venerable Fire Eclipse was not confident in snatching the person from her, but as long as the Flame Spear hit the World Ring, it would surely destroy everything inside.
At that time, although the Demon Candle King and his disciples will surely die, they can still be resurrected by paying some price.
"That old man is truly ruthless and vicious."
Irene shook her head. "What difference would it make if it fell into the master's hands? They would rather kill their son than let me take it with them."
"In that case, we'll just have to beat up Dad too."
With a simple gesture, she summoned the 100,000-kilometer-long expanse of blazing white flames that surrounded her, rushing forward to intercept the dark flame spears.
At the same time, she flapped her wings and flew directly towards the direction of Venerable Fire Erosion. Her speed was extremely fast, and she almost instantly crossed the vast distance to arrive in front of him.
"Take this—the Void-Slaying Sword!"
With a soft shout, Irene thrust her sword, imbued with the Law of Wood and Void, towards her opponent. This peak strike, containing the intent of life and death, caused even the Fiery Venerable, clad in the Supreme Armor, to change his expression.
"The pinnacle secret technique of the Lord of the Universe?!"
In that instant, a thought flashed through Venerable Fire's mind: he could not withstand this attack, because this attack had exceeded the limit of the Venerable's secret technique, a pinnacle secret technique that only the Lord of the Universe could create!
"But even if we can't stop it, we have to!"
"This close-range attack is actually to my advantage!"
The Fiery Venerable's expression hardened, and he ruthlessly detonated the surrounding dark flames, intending to use this power to directly shatter the world ring on the opponent's hand!
Unfortunately, Irene was prepared for this.
Because her Taixu Life and Death Sword was a secret technique created by referencing the destructive intent contained in Chen Yuan's "Great Destruction" and integrating the life intent of the Wood Law. It is the culmination of Ireil's two million years of enlightenment.
Therefore, this secret technique is not purely an offensive technique; the "life essence" it contains also has a protective effect!
So, after the explosion, Venerable Fire Eclipse was devastated to find that the white-haired girl in front of him was completely unharmed.
On the other hand, he himself had taken a full-force blow from the opponent, and even with the protection of a supreme treasure, he still lost 17% of his divine power.
Including the damage caused by the explosion, he lost a full 30% of his divine power in this battle.
A major failure!
