Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

"This is the true pure Yang Flame!"

Looking at the divine fire in Dongfang Guyue's hand, Feixiao finally showed a bit of seriousness.

The divine fire before her was just as she had imagined, truly possessing the characteristics and essence of the "Samadhi True Fire" from mythology.

As mentioned before, many of the magical artifacts and characters in this world are based on the settings of Journey to the West.

The Pure Yang Flame, which the Eastern Spirit Clan refines and summons, is based on the "Samadhi True Fire" from Journey to the West.

"Samadhi" is a Buddhist term meaning to calm the mind and stop distracting thoughts; it is a state of spiritual practice. "True fire," on the other hand, emphasizes that it is a real, pure flame.

The Samadhi Fire is incredibly powerful, capable of burning away all kinds of evil spirits and powerful demons. In mythology, it is often one of the important means by which deities subdue demons and monsters.

Furthermore, it is difficult to extinguish; ordinary water cannot put it out, and it requires specific magical artifacts or spells to control.

In "Journey to the West", the Samadhi True Fire used by Red Boy was so powerful that even Sun Wukong could not withstand it.

Sun Wukong asked the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas to bring rain to extinguish the fire, but they could not put out the Samadhi True Fire. In the end, he had to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to use the nectar in her jade bottle to subdue it.

The abilities and characteristics of Pure Yang Flame are almost identical to those of Samadhi True Fire, although it is somewhat inferior in terms of power level...

"Come on! Master Dongfang, there's no need to hold back. Unleash your full power and let me witness the might of the Pure Yang Flame."

Feixiao extended her left hand, and an incredibly heavy double-edged axe appeared out of thin air in her grasp. The girl held the axe upright before her, signaling the old man to make his move…

It wasn't out of respect for the elderly and care for the young, but rather because if he made the first move, Dongfang Guyue wouldn't have a chance to act.

"The young demons these days are truly arrogant!"

"Very well, I haven't made a move in a long time, which has made many people and demons forget how terrifying the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire is."

Knowing that his days were numbered and he might not live for more than a few years, he knew that if he didn't act now, he would never have another chance.

While he still had the ability to act, he once again displayed the power of the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire, deterring those who harbored ill intentions towards the Divine Fire Mountain Manor.

In this way, Shenhuoshan Manor can have some peace and quiet for a while longer.

Hey……

Ultimately, Shenhuo Mountain Manor currently lacks a worthy successor. None of his disciples have yet met his standards.

As for his two daughters, one was too young, and the other... let alone letting her inherit the Divine Volcano Manor, he was more worried about the secrets of the Eastern Spirit Clan women being exposed.

He would find it even harder to accept if his two daughters were targeted by those with ulterior motives.

If only we could find a qualified son-in-law who could protect Huaizhu and the others and inherit the Shenhuoshan Manor.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Dongfang Guyue raised the Divine Fire Pure Yang Flame in his hand and directly transformed it into a fire-breathing divine bird that appeared in the sky.

"Girl, be careful! This is the divine fire you are about to witness."

Dongfang Guyue called out to Feixiao, then directly controlled the Flame Bird to pounce on her.

Although he was old and frail, his control over the divine fire was still enough to make the Demon Emperor awe!

"Well come."

"Fearless! Undeterred!"

Facing the fiery divine bird before him, Fei Xiao also had a large number of azure whirlwinds around him, and his aura even directly overwhelmed the pure Yang Flame.

In that instant, Feixiao grabbed the double-edged axe and leaped into the air, slashing directly at the divine bird formed from the pure Yang Flame before him.

"Overestimating himself... he's just a young demon after all."

Seeing that Fei Xiao not only didn't dodge, but instead took the initiative to meet his pure Yang Flame, Dongfang Guyue shook his head.

Those demon emperors who come into contact with the pure Yang Flame will be severely burned the moment they touch it, and the flame will never be extinguished.

To deal with Pure Yang Flame, the only way is to rely on other methods...

"……Well!!"

His thought had just begun when Dongfang Guyue's eyes widened, staring ahead in disbelief.

The divine bird, formed from pure Yang Flame, was actually cleaved in two by the fox demon wielding a double-edged axe.

how come?

Pure Yang Flame cannot be split open by anything!

Dongfang Guyue was startled, but he did not stop. He continued to manipulate the pure Yang Flame into a giant fire lotus.

The fiery lotus bloomed beneath Feixiao, then began to merge, completely enveloping Feixiao...

"Master is mighty!!"

"Hahaha, look how arrogant this fox demon is, but now it's been extinguished by Master's divine fire."

"Master truly lives up to his reputation as one of the strongest in the Dao Alliance. His control over the divine fire is awe-inspiring! He is practically a god of fire reborn."

Seeing Feixiao enveloped in pure Yang Flame, the disciples of Shenhuo Mountain Villa immediately began to flatter their master.

But at this moment, Dongfang Guyue himself was not happy at all. Looking at the huge fire lotus in front of him, he felt a sense of unease.

Chapter 18: Either wait to die slowly, or listen to me.

"...Could it be that there really is someone in this world who can ignore Pure Yang Flame?"

Ignoring the voices of the surrounding disciples, Dongfang Guyue stared intently at the fire lotus formed from pure Yang Flame above.

Even as the pure Yang Flame burned larger and larger, his unease only intensified.

But he couldn't understand what kind of monster in this world could break through the burning of the pure Yang Flame, not even the Demon Emperor...

Since the flying figure before them had no Eastern Spirit Clan bloodline and no familiar spiritual blood aura, only two possibilities remained.

One reason is that she killed members of the Eastern Clan and used the heart's blood of the Eastern Spirit Clan to make herself immune to the burning divine fire.

Even so, it is impossible to be completely immune to pure Yang Flame, and it also makes the Divine Fire unstable.

That leaves another possibility...

That is, the most secretive and also the most powerful existence in this world, overseas... Aolai Country.

In fact, the Demon-Slaying Divine Fire of the Eastern Spirit Clan was not obtained by them, but was passed down by the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom.

Originally, the Eastern Clan was supposed to use the Pure Yang Flame to protect the human race from external enemies, but the Eastern Spirit Clan was arrogant and thought that even if they protected the human race, they would not receive any reward.

Even some Eastern people believe that the protective barrier within the Third Young Master of Aolai Kingdom will eventually be destroyed, and the world will perish as a result.

So they decided to live in seclusion, creating another space—the Eastern Secret Realm—and living a life cut off from the world, unaffected by future external disasters...

Unfortunately, some things cannot be hidden away and remain unscathed.

"not good!"

"Everyone, get out of here immediately and find somewhere to hide!"

Suddenly, Dongfang Guyue's expression changed, and he subconsciously took a few steps back, hurriedly shouting to the disciples around him.

The surrounding disciples were still confused. Hadn't their master already subdued the fox demon? Why was he still so nervous?

However, most of the disciples obediently left the area immediately.

At that moment, the pure Yang Flame Lotus above began to twist and contort, finally unable to withstand the pressure and exploded, sending countless sparks flying in all directions.

The pure, fiery sparks could ignite anything, and when they landed on the surrounding buildings and stone and wood, they immediately burst into flames.

Feixiao, who had been swallowed by the pure Yang Flame, reappeared in the sky unharmed.

Even the pure Yang Flame, which should have been wielded only by the Eastern Spirit Clan, was burning gently in her palm, showing no intention of harming her.

Compared to Dongfang Guyue, Feixiao, who was holding the pure Yang Flame, looked more like a high and mighty fire god.

"It's not the real Samadhi Fire after all..."

Feixiao raised the Pure Yang Flame in her palm, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes. She had been devoured and burned by the Pure Yang Flame before, and she was prepared to be burned into some kind of fiery eyes, just like Sun Wukong.

However, although this Pure Yang Flame is similar to the Samadhi True Fire, under the control of Dongfang Guyue, its power far surpasses the divine fire previously controlled by Jin Renfeng and others.

But it's still far from enough...

That's right. Although this Pure Yang Flame is said to be a divine fire created by the Third Young Master of Aolai using the monkey hair left behind by Monkey King and combining it with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it is a world-saving fire.

But ultimately, the level of this world is too low, not as good as the Samadhi Fire of Taoist mythology.

"you you……"

Watching Fei Xiao directly refine his pure Yang Flame, Dongfang Guyue opened her eyes wide and kept calling out "you...you..." but couldn't utter a complete sentence.

He was certain that the fox demon in front of him had no bloodline of the Eastern Spirit Clan, but why was she able to refine his divine fire?

This is completely contrary to his common sense.

Could it be that she is truly connected to that person from Aolai Kingdom? Or perhaps something has happened in the Eastern Secret Realm recently?

He couldn't control what happened in Aolai Kingdom, but he would care if something happened in the Eastern Secret Realm.

Although Dongfang Guyue chose to leave the clan's secret realm for his own reasons and established the Divine Fire Mountain Manor in the outside world, he was regarded as a "traitor" by some members of the Dongfang Spirit Clan.

But he is, after all, an Easterner, and his friend is still in the secret realm.

"It's just a fire control technique."

Feixiao casually extinguished the pure Yang Flame in his hand.

Without the blood of the Eastern Spirit, one cannot refine pure Yang Flame; that's something others can't do, but not her.

Although the strange fire from the previous world is gone, few people in this world can match her control over flames.

"Now, old master... do you still want to continue?!"

Fei Xiao didn't rush to make a move. He picked up the double-edged axe with one hand and looked down at the old man in front of him.

She had already witnessed the legendary Pure Yang Flame, and in theory, she had accomplished her goal. However, a new idea came to her mind.

My task is to unify the area within the circle and hunt outside the circle.

Now that you've already established your authority at Shenhuo Mountain Manor, why not just take over Shenhuo Mountain Manor, the strongest force in the Dao Alliance?

Although her first goal should be to first occupy a certain territory and power, and then use that as a starting point to unify the circle.

However, they would not mind taking over Shenhuo Mountain Manor first, and then using that to find the Eastern Secret Realm and subdue the entire Eastern Spirit Clan within it.
