CHAPTER 429: CHAPTER 282 THE FIRE OF THE CELESTIAL GOD

"Second Brother!"

The handsome man’s heart-wrenching cry pierced the air. Scorching tears instantly covered his face. He could never have imagined that at the brink of victory, something so heart-wrenching would occur! His second brother, the one who had fought alongside him and faced countless challenges together, had tragically perished in the jaws of the giant snake.

The giant snake thrashed and rolled within the fire circle, emitting hoarse, terrifying cries. Its massive body kicked up a large cloud of dust, and the surrounding fire blazed even more fiercely under the sweeping wind. It seemed to ignite the entire night sky, casting the fire’s glow on everyone’s face, reflecting their inner fear and unease.

"It’s terrible, we can’t get out."

Gold Ston expression turned tense as he spoke, his hand holding the Zodiac Flute trembled slightly. He looked around, seeing flames raging as if ready to consume them. They were trapped in this sea of fire, their fate uncertain.

Carefree Meng Lan looked at the pale-faced Ling Yueyaya and urgently asked, "Yaya, do you have a way to open a path?" She knew that perhaps only Ling Yueyaya could save them from this perilous situation.

Ling Yueyaya hesitated slightly and said, "I expended too much energy dealing with that brat earlier, I don’t know if I can..." She glanced at the handsome man not far away, an expression of complexity on her face. Although his elder brother wasn’t a good person, he gave off an impression of sincerity and honesty. During the previous confrontation, despite being stronger than her, he hadn’t made a lethal move. This friendship made her feel somewhat troubled at this moment.

"I’ll give it a try," Ling Yueyaya finally bit her lip and said, "If it doesn’t work, we’ll think of something else."

Then, under the gaze of others, she walked to the distance of a meter from the fire circle. Looking at the scorching flames, she took a deep breath, bit her teeth, extended her hands forward, and silently closed her beautiful eyes. Her heart was filled with determination and resolve, as if waging a final battle with her inner fear.

As her hands slowly extended forward, a gentle yet powerful energy gradually flowed from her palms. That energy, like a steady stream, gathered into a mighty force and slowly pushed toward the sea of fire ahead. Under the influence of this force, the flames began to gradually part, revealing a narrow passage.

"Quick! Rush out now!" Ling Yueyaya shouted loudly, her voice revealing exhaustion and urgency. Seeing this, everyone immediately rushed toward the narrow passage without hesitation. The fire closed behind them, seeming to swallow them, but in this critical moment, they all displayed incredible speed and agility, successfully passing through the sea of fire.

Only she knew how much soul energy remained inside her at this moment. This soul energy was painstakingly cultivated by her, with each accumulation filled with hardship and sweat. And now, this precious energy was being consumed bit by bit, transformed into the blue mist pouring from her palms, desperately extinguishing the raging flames that came ever closer.

As the energy was depleted, her complexion gradually turned pale, as if the color of life was being drained away. But she didn’t stop, because she knew that her persistence at this moment was critical to everyone’s survival.

"Ah~!" A shout pierced the sky as the handsome man rushed toward the giant snake without hesitation. A fiery aura erupted from his body, wrapping him completely with flames filled with all his anger and determination.

He chose the most extreme way, burning all his soul energy and exhausting his life force, just to perish together with the giant snake. A three-meter diameter fireball suddenly formed around him, carrying destructive power as it fiercely smashed into the thrashing body of the giant snake.

Blazing and dazzling flames burst forth in an instant, as if the air itself was being scorched by this fire. The ground and mid-air were filled with the sizzling sounds of burning, as though the entire world was engulfed by these flames.

The giant snake struggled painfully within the flames, its body twisting in the sea of fire, letting out piercing wails. Then, it rapidly rolled toward Carefree Meng Lan, as if to vent all its anger and pain on her.

"Yaya, hurry, the fire is about to spread to our side!" Carefree Meng Lan shouted, her face pale with urgent firelight reflecting as a red glow, extremely anxious.

Ling Yueyaya bit her lip tightly, sweat on her forehead dripping like beads. She felt that her strength had been drained by more than ninety percent, yet the flames before her had only decreased by about half. She knew that it was almost impossible to escape this sea of fire safely.

"Sister Naxue, let’s rush out!" Ling Yueyaya’s face was more ghastly than ever, she shouted out this sentence with all her strength, "If we continue like this, I can’t hold on!"

Carefree Naxue looked at her pale yet determined face, her heart stirring with emotion. She knew that Ling Yueyaya was fighting with all her might at this moment. So, she took a deep breath, nodded, "Alright! Let’s rush out together!"
