Azure Flame

Chapter 76 Azure Flame

Above the Continent of Daylight, two Saint-level experts were fiercely chasing each other.

Both sides were moving at a fast pace, and soon left the territory of the Daylight Continent and entered the territory of the North Sea, heading rapidly towards the Arctic ice field.

The two engaged in fierce combat as they flew.

The bearded man, "Borns," wore black armor and was covered in surging lightning-attribute battle aura. He wielded a longsword and unleashed terrifying sword energy.

The lightning sword energy swept across the sea below, instantly creating a crack more than ten meters long.

The crack remained open for several breaths before seawater from both sides poured in and filled it.

Unlike Burns' imposing presence, the man with the crimson eyebrows appeared much more ordinary.

He wielded a fiery red spear, with red flames gathering at its tip. Its brilliance was restrained, and its power seemed mediocre, yet it forced Bones to retreat repeatedly.

"Borns, you can't escape!"

The man with crimson eyebrows caught up with Bones again, thrusting his fiery red spear forward.

Borns dared not be careless and quickly unleashed a sword strike.

"bite"

The spear tip pierced through the sword energy and struck the black longsword.

"boom"

A sudden burst of intense firelight illuminated the sea below, turning it a fiery red.

Burns was thrown more than ten meters away, and half of his body was engulfed in flames.

He screamed and unleashed his inner fighting spirit, blasting away the flames.

Sparks fell into the seawater below.

"Hiss hiss hiss"

As large amounts of seawater evaporated and clouds rose, the figures of the two people became blurred.

"Huff" "Huff"

The man in black armor was panting heavily. Half of his armor had been melted by the flames and was dripping with molten iron. Half of his body was burned, but such injuries were not fatal to a Saint-level expert.

"It seems the outcome is quite clear."

Jag took a sip of his drink and chuckled softly.

His eyesight is now incredibly sharp; he can easily judge the difference in strength between the two sides.

Bones' strength is considered to be at the peak of the ordinary Saint Realm, while the man with crimson eyebrows who resembles Qinghuo has already mastered the fire-type law "Explosion Profound Mystery".

In the eyes of most mortals in the Yulan Continent, the strength of Saint-level warriors is divided into Saint-level beginner, Saint-level intermediate, Saint-level advanced, and Saint-level peak.

This is mainly based on the amount of battle qi. When battle qi accumulates to the limit of a Saint Realm expert, that is, a Saint Realm peak expert.

However, what truly affects the strength of Saint-level experts is not battle qi, but their comprehension of the profound mysteries of the laws. To become a god, one must also understand the profound mysteries of the laws.

Even if a newcomer to the Saint Realm has less battle qi than a peak Saint Realm expert, as long as their comprehension of the profound mysteries of the laws is high enough, they can easily defeat a peak Saint Realm expert.

For example, Olivia easily defeated the Starry Sky Sword Saint Tyrone as soon as she became a Saint.

For example, Linley, even in his human form at only level nine, was able to defeat Saint-level powerhouses like Hedson and Usenno by relying on his dragon transformation and his understanding of the laws of earth and wind.

Based on their understanding of the profound mysteries of the laws, Saint-level powerhouses are roughly divided into five levels.

The lowest level are those who are completely ignorant of the mysteries of the laws, such as the Starry Sky Sword Saint Tyrone and the Saint-level powerhouse McKenzie from the Northwest Province of the O'Brien Empire.

The fourth tier consists of powerful individuals who have already grasped the profound mysteries of the laws and have gained some understanding, such as Linley, whose human form has just reached level nine, and Olivia, who has just entered the Saintly Domain.

The third tier consists of those who have gained some understanding of the profound mysteries of the laws, such as the Rock Sword Saint Hedson.

The second tier consists of those who have gained a relatively deep understanding of the profound mysteries of the laws, such as the Pope of Light.

The first tier consists of Saint-level powerhouses who have mastered the profound mysteries of a law to the final bottleneck and are just one step away from becoming a lower-level god.

The two currently fighting each other, Bones is the lowest level of Saint-level powerhouse. Although he has accumulated enough battle qi to reach the peak of the Saint-level, he has not yet grasped the profound mysteries of the laws.

The man who resembled Qinghuo was of the fourth rank. Although his battle qi had only just entered the Saint Realm, he had already mastered the "Profound Mystery of Explosion" of the fire element law. With the power of this profound law, he easily suppressed Bones.

Burns clearly knew he was no match for his opponent, so he didn't linger in the fight and used the recoil from the battle to flee north again.

His lightning-attribute battle aura was quite fast, and it wouldn't be easy for the man who appeared to be Qinghuo to catch up with him.

Before long, the two chased each other to the Arctic ice field.

Towering icebergs stand tall, many exceeding 10,000 meters in height. The howling wind is like a blade of wind, and weak warriors here would be torn to shreds by the wind.

At the summit of the highest icy mountain, there are eleven mysterious six-pointed star-shaped magic arrays, which are teleportation arrays leading to the four supreme planes and the seven divine planes respectively.

"Lord Evan! Please activate the teleportation array; I need to travel to the Thunder God Plane!"

Before Bones even reached the teleportation array, he shouted anxiously.

The powerful enemy behind him was closing in, and he knew that if he didn't leave the Yulan Continent soon, he would be killed.

Next to the teleportation array was an ice house. A white-haired young man with a cold expression walked out of the ice house and saw the group flying toward the teleportation array at high speed.

He also noticed that Bones was being chased, and frowned. He transmitted his thoughts to the telepathy channel, saying, "This is where the interdimensional teleportation array is located. No matter what grudges you have, you cannot fight here, lest you affect the teleportation array."

"Yes, yes!" Burns quickly replied, eager for a ceasefire.

Behind Bones, the man with crimson eyebrows looked resentful. He thought of the blood and fire he had experienced in his youth, and his eyes were filled with barely suppressed killing intent.

Bones was the founding king of the "Amethyst Kingdom" on the continent of Daylight.

Many years ago, the Amethyst Kingdom launched a war of aggression against the Thousand Blossom Kingdom. In the end, the Amethyst Kingdom destroyed the Thousand Blossom Kingdom and killed its guardian, the Saint-level powerhouse Sullivan.

Sullivan Zakrias is the father of the man with the red eyebrows.

When the Thousand Flower Kingdom was destroyed, the man with crimson eyebrows managed to escape. After years of arduous training, he finally became a Saint-level expert.

"Stop? No, once Burns leaves the Yulan Continent plane, it will be much harder for me to kill him. I have to kill him!"

The hatred for the murderer of his father was irreconcilable. The man with the crimson eyebrows steeled his resolve and, without slowing down, thrust his spear forward with all his might!

"Lord Evan!" Burns exclaimed in surprise.

When the white-haired youth Evan saw that the man with crimson eyebrows ignored his words and was about to attack, his face instantly darkened. He snorted coldly, and his divine domain enveloped the area.

The man with the crimson eyebrows froze completely, his movements halting instantly. No matter how much he struggled, he couldn't move.

The gap between Saint-level experts and God-level experts is like an insurmountable chasm. Even the divine domain of a lower-level god can render a Saint-level expert powerhouse powerless, let alone a white-haired youth who is a mid-level god.

"If you dare to ignore my warning, then go to the Gobada Dimension Prison and reflect on your actions!" the white-haired youth said coldly.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

The bald, burly man and the middle-aged man in white robes finally arrived. Although they didn't know what the Gobada Plane Prison was, since it was called a prison, it obviously wasn't a good place.

The bald, burly man quickly pleaded, "Lord Evan, my third brother didn't mean to offend you. Please release him!"

The middle-aged man in white robes also said, "Yes, Lord Evan, he has a grudge against this Burns and only wants revenge. Please understand!"

"Hmph, who he has a grudge against is none of my business. Fighting here at the dimensional teleportation array and ignoring my warnings, he must be punished." The white-haired youth said coldly, showing no intention of changing his mind.

"Haha, Leylin, you dared to disobey Lord Evan's orders, you deserve it!" Burns was very excited. If Evan could get rid of Leylin, it would be a great help to him. In that case, he wouldn't have to leave the Yulan Continent.

The man with crimson eyebrows, named "Leylin," had resentment and pain churning in his eyes, but he was bound by the divine domain of a mid-level god and could not even speak.

"Not only will I be unable to take revenge, but I'll also be imprisoned in an unknown place..."

The impending ordeal left Lei Lin utterly despondent.

Seeing that they could not persuade Evan, the bald, burly man and the middle-aged man in white robes exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes.

The bald, burly man said, "Lord Evan, if you are unwilling to forgive my third brother, then please lock me up in that Gobada Plane Prison as well."

The middle-aged man in white robes also spoke up: "And me, the three of us brothers will not be separated."

Evan raised an eyebrow: "Do you two know what the Gobada Dimensional Prison is? Once you're in, getting out is a real challenge."

The bald, burly man laughed heartily: "No matter where it is, the three of us brothers will go together!"

"Not bad." The middle-aged man in white robes nodded.

"Big brother, second brother..." Leylin was extremely anxious. He was very grateful to his two older brothers, but because of this, he didn't want them to be imprisoned in the Gobada Plane Prison with him. However, he couldn't speak at this moment and could only feel anxious in his heart.

"Since that's the case, then so be it."

With a wave of his hand, Evan conjured three large water-based hands, which grabbed the three Leylin brothers.

"Heh heh, those two idiots." Burns couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. In one fell swoop, he had taken care of his three enemies.

"Let's go."

Evan flew into the air, leading Leylin and the other two to the entrance of the Gobada Plane Prison.

"Wait a minute."

A calm voice rang in everyone's ears.

Evan was immediately startled.

Because he had just dispersed his divine sense, he did not detect anyone nearby.

Dressed in a purple robe, Jugg flew in from afar. In a flash, he appeared in front of everyone. His speed was so fast that it left several Saint-level experts, including Leylin, speechless.

Jag had been monitoring the situation with his divine sense and, upon discovering that Evan intended to imprison Leylin in the Gobada Plane Prison, he ceased to conceal his intentions.

Jag looked at Leylin, feeling quite pleasantly surprised.

"It really is the Blue Flame."

He had overheard everyone's conversation through his divine sense. The crimson eyebrows and the name Lei Lin matched the original Qing Huo.

The original work does not mention when Qinghuo was born, but it is likely that he was born before Beirut, because Qinghuo was imprisoned in the Gobada Plane Prison long before Beirut took control of the Yulan Continent Plane.

Jag intended to save Qinghuo, after all, Qinghuo's talent was at the Great Perfection level.

"Who is he?" Burns was shocked to see Jagger suddenly appear.

He had been a Saint-level expert for hundreds of years, and he had heard of many Saint-level experts and God-level experts, but none of them were named Jeger.

"Could they be those reclusive, ascetic Saint-level experts?" Bones wondered to himself.

He also knew that some powerful beings in the Saint Realm who had lived for thousands of years had completely lost interest in worldly matters and focused solely on cultivation in order to become gods.

These people are not well-known, but they are all very capable.

"Hmph, even if he's a reclusive expert, we can't let him save Leylin." A cold glint flashed in Bones' eyes.

He and Leylin were sworn enemies, and naturally he didn't want Leylin to be rescued.

Saint-level experts do not possess divine sense, therefore Bones cannot rely on divine sense to judge Jeg's strength.

A god-level expert's divine sense can detect opponents of the same or lower level. If an opponent appears in front of you and you cannot detect their strength, it means that the opponent is one level higher than you.

For example, the divine sense of a mid-level god can detect other mid-level gods, but it cannot detect higher-level gods.

Bones couldn't discern Jag's strength, but in his opinion, no matter how strong Jag was, he couldn't surpass Evan.

"No matter how strong this guy is, can he possibly be stronger than Lord Evan, who is at the mid-level god level?" Burns sneered inwardly.

He knew that although there were god-level powerhouses in the Yulan Continent, they were all lower-level gods, and they had to treat Lord Evan with utmost respect.

"Who are you? How dare you stop Lord Evan?" Burns shouted, wanting to use Evan to completely eliminate Leylin, this great enemy.

Before he could finish speaking, Evan glared at him coldly and snapped, "Shut up!"

Burns was taken aback, puzzled, but quickly lowered his head, not daring to say anything more.

"Evan, let them go," Jag said with a faint smile.

This Evan is currently the plane guardian of the Yulan Continent.

When he arrived in the Yulan Continent plane more than a hundred years ago, he noticed that the plane's guardian was not Huo Dan, so he paid more attention to him.

"Yes, sir," Evan immediately bowed.

Evan remembered Juggernaut better; after all, there might only be one person in billions of years who came to the material plane from the supreme plane and the plane of gods, so he naturally had a deep impression of him.

With a wave of his hand, Evan and the other two regained their freedom.

Leylin and the other two exchanged glances, then simultaneously bowed to Jag, saying, "Thank you, sir!"

Jag nodded and said, "Evan, we don't need to get involved in their feud. As for the teleportation array, don't worry, I'll protect it for you."

"Yes." Evan was very respectful. He could not afford to offend any powerful being who could return from the highest plane.

"No, no, Lord Evan!" Upon seeing this, Burns immediately panicked.

But Evan didn't even glance at him.

"Lord Evan, I need to go to the Thunder God Plane!" Bones immediately rushed towards the teleportation array.

His only chance of survival is to be transported to the realm of gods.

But in a flash of light, Leylin stood in front of him.

"Borns, you will die today!"

Leylin stared intently at Burns, gripping his spear, fiery red battle aura condensing at its tip.

The firelight illuminated the iceberg, and Leylin launched a fierce attack.

The battle ended quickly.

Borns, who had no understanding of the profound mysteries of the laws, was no match for Leylin. Moments later, Leylin's spear pierced Borns' heart.

For someone at the Holy Realm level who is not a god, such injuries are already fatal.

"puff"

The longsword in Bones' hand fell into the ice field below.

He gripped the spear that pierced his heart with both hands, his eyes fixed on Leylin, his mouth agape, but before he could utter a single word, he breathed his last.

Leylin drew his spear, and Bones's body fell downwards.
