I charged toward the Earthly Fire, trying to stop it from devouring my Samadhi True Fire.
Huan Die said I was crazy, but I knew exactly what I was doing.
With a low shout, I blocked the space between the Earthly Fire and the Samadhi True Fire. The Samadhi True Fire finally entered my body, but the Earthly Fire scorched my chest, setting my clothes ablaze.
My heart lurched, and I tried to retreat, but the flames instantly spread across my entire body. Earthly Fire surrounded me from all sides, determined to burn me alive.
If I could use the power of the Chaos Yin Yang Bead, I was confident I could absorb this Earthly Fire.
But this altar had cut off the Chaos Yin Yang Bead's power. I simply could not command it unless it broke free of its restraints on its own.
Yet it showed no reaction at all.
If I could truly subdue this Earthly Fire, then with my Heavenly Fire, Earthly Fire, and Samadhi True Fire combined, I would surely be able to melt everything in the world.
But this was a hurdle I had to overcome. If I failed, I would turn to ashes here.
I did not dare make a sound, afraid of affecting Ye Jinghong.
I saw Ye Jinghong's body tremble slightly, and even her voice changed somewhat.
This time, Huan Die did not warn me again. She likely understood that once my safety was involved, Ye Jinghong could never remain indifferent.
At that moment, a pleasant bird cry rang out above my head, like heavenly music.
A large bird circled above the altar. It was the phoenix we had seen before!
Only, it was now a phantom, a phantom woven from flames.
It danced through the air, then suddenly opened its beak.
