Chapter 412 Reap what you sow, play with fire and get burned
Chu Lengyu's expression immediately turned serious, and her brows furrowed.
She could clearly sense that Venerable Qianyan's power was increasing at an almost insane rate, like a flood bursting its banks.
This forced breakthrough could bring him a temporary leap in strength, but at the same time, if he was not careful, he would be doomed.
However, at this critical moment, Venerable Qianyan's body suddenly began to tremble violently.
The sub-fires that he had forcibly absorbed with his supreme divine power now seemed to have become the most deadly poison, and began to frantically backfire within his body.
His face showed an unprecedented expression of pain; clearly, this power was now far beyond his control.
Those tiny fires within his body were like countless small snakes, writhing and tearing at his meridians, devouring his soul.
Every meridian felt as if it were being scorched by flames, and every part of his soul felt as if it were being pierced by a thousand needles, causing him unbearable pain.
The sub-fire burned away its original host, carrying terrifying power, and at this moment it transformed into extremely violent energy, rampaging uncontrollably within his body, as if trying to shatter him.
Under the impact of this extremely violent energy, the flames that were originally burning fiercely around Venerable Qianyan surged again, becoming even hotter and more violent than before.
However, the price of this forced absorption was too heavy for him to bear.
The body and soul of Venerable Qianyan were riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse under the impact of this violent energy.
Seeing this, Chu Lengyu did not hesitate at all and immediately took action.
This is the most vulnerable moment for Venerable Qianyan; the opportunity will be fleeting.
The Seven-Turn Glazed Flame manifested once more.
This time, the seven-colored chains encountered no resistance and pierced directly through Venerable Qianyan's chest.
Chu Lengyu stared at the Thousand Flame Venerable who had been pierced, secretly wary of a counterattack.
She raised her magical artifact once more, and suddenly dark clouds filled the sky, thunder roared, and an even thicker bolt of lightning, carrying the power to destroy the world, struck fiercely towards Venerable Qianyan.
Under the bombardment of this thunderbolt, Venerable Qianyan's fusion was completely interrupted, and his originally extremely violent flame power was once again shattered.
At that moment, the sub-fires turned against him, like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, as if they wanted to devour him completely, leaving no trace.
At this moment, Venerable Qianyan's body was completely still.
His face now showed only resentment and shock.
To use a somewhat inappropriate analogy, he is now like a porcelain doll on the verge of breaking.
"Haha!" He suddenly burst into laughter, which grew louder and louder.
Sparks fell from his face like meteors, leaving behind their last dazzling brilliance.
Within those cracked wounds, blood mingled with the blazing flames, transforming into a lava-like substance, shimmering with an eerie red light.
He turned his head with difficulty, his gaze fixed on the white-clad woman floating not far ahead.
She stood there quietly, like a pure white lotus untouched by dust, making no further move, simply waiting for his demise.
She could have easily taken Qianyan Venerable's life with just one more move, causing him to vanish completely from this world. However, she chose not to do so.
Venerable Qianyan knew that this was already a rare act of kindness.
He looked at Chu Lengyu, his heart filled with doubt and confusion.
This woman is truly too mysterious and unpredictable.
He couldn't figure out her background, methods, purpose, or thoughts.
Yang Yi rose to prominence at a young age and lived an arrogant life.
From Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and even the Divine Transformation Realm, he has experienced countless ups and downs over the past few hundred years. However, the vicissitudes of this world have not tempered his nature. On the contrary, they have made him more unrestrained and reckless, almost to the point of madness.
He realized the difficulties and dangers of the path to becoming a god, and therefore, he was afraid. He was afraid that he, who was hailed as a "genius," was actually nothing more than ordinary people in this world, extremely mediocre.
That's why he had to be arrogant, look down on everyone, be so strong that everyone looked up to him, have his reputation soaring, and use any means necessary to climb to the next level.
Over the years, he has been decisive in killing and killing. The furnaces, demonic beasts, and piles of bones have all served as stepping stones for him to climb the realm.
Today, he also sensed a touch of "madness" from this woman who stood quietly.
But her arrogance was completely different from his; it was a restrained yet undeniable arrogance.
Above his head, thunderclouds surged. Yang Yi had no doubt that if he made the slightest move, the woman would strike him with lightning without hesitation, utterly destroying him.
However, at the end of his life, Yang Yi did not utter another word, but simply let out the last rays of the blazing sun, which was his final pride and a reflection of his life.
He laughed arrogantly again.
Yang Yi, arrogant and fearless throughout his life, even in his final moments, wanted heaven and earth to witness his existence and the world to remember his name.
Chu Lengyu remained calm, waiting for him to die, as if waiting for the sunset at dusk.
The calmer she appeared, the more terrified Yang Yi became.
Because of this woman's level of understanding, he could neither see through her nor comprehend her.
The path of cultivation is inherently full of unknowns and variables; the higher one's cultivation level, the more eccentric one's temperament tends to be.
Yang Yi had heard that those ancient monsters who had lived for thousands of years were multifaceted and had a thousand faces.
Yesterday they might have pretended to be ordinary people begging on the streets, experiencing the joys and sorrows of life; today they might have transformed into demons, destroying a city with a single glance; and tomorrow they might have changed their identity again, becoming elders of a great sect, revered by thousands.
The changing times and the pressure of life and death can drive high-level cultivators to become increasingly abnormal.
Thus, there are those who live a life of unbridled behavior, defying worldly opinions, indulging in their desires and sensual pleasures.
There are also those who transcend emotions, whose hearts are as still as water, unmoved by external things, pursuing the supreme Dao.
However, Yang Yi discovered that this woman did not fit either of these two criteria.
She is not fire, not water, and nothing else.
Even in the dim light, her figure remained remarkably clear.
Subsequently, Venerable Qianyan's body was torn apart by thousands of forces, and began to collapse from the inside. The sub-fire power that had been forcibly suppressed could no longer be restrained at this moment.
They rampaged wildly, treating Venerable Qianyan's body as their battlefield for revenge.
Flames burned fiercely within his body, consuming every inch of his meridians and every wisp of his soul.
The pain was indescribable, as if one's soul had been thrown into a vat of boiling oil and subjected to countless torments.
Venerable Qianyan tried his best to suppress this power, but all his efforts were in vain.
Finally, amidst a deafening explosion, the thirty-foot-tall fire giant was completely reduced to ashes.
He was completely wiped out from this world.
The once mighty Thousand Flame Venerable ultimately died by his own flames.
His life came to an end just like that, truly illustrating what it means to "play with fire and get burned."
After the explosion, the surroundings fell into a deathly silence.
The sun finally sank into the sea.
A seven-colored chain, accompanied by a streak of fire, was delivered to Chu Lengyu.
