Nether Flame

Yun Ye's thoughts stirred. He extended his palm, and a wisp of dark-blue flame grew from tiny to large, blazing in the center of his hand.

Spirit corpses were born from resentment, turning fury into flames and giving birth to the divine art, Nether Flame.

This flame could burn souls and reach the Netherworld. It was an exceptionally powerful spirit flame.

Shi Qing had not had enough time during the battle to use the divine art in full, and had lost in utter confusion.

Yun Ye took it as a warning. Whenever he struck, he had to kill with the force of thunder, leaving no room for his opponent to react.

"This Nether Flame... really can burn souls. At the very least, any spiritual sense that comes near it will be devoured!"

Yun Ye revealed a trace of delight.

Burning spiritual sense—this was a trait that the Fire Spirit Root almost completely lacked.

Although the Unique Undying Flame had burned through the Thousand-Eyed Great Demon's spiritual sense attack, and the Heart Flame also had the effect of defending against spiritual sense attacks,

This was why Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Flames
