The gears of fate began to turn.
Yu Xiaogang once again proposed a shocking decision.
"Ma Hongjun's evil fire is consuming him. Without destruction, there can be no rebirth. We can only fight poison with poison and use Netherworld and water-type energy to balance his Martial Soul."
"You must understand: when things reach an extreme, they reverse!"
"We're going to gamble and completely transform his flame attribute into its opposite extreme."
"The Yinming Serpent Vine possesses the gentle traits of a Plant Soul Beast. With Ma Hongjun's physical body at the ten-thousand-year level, absorbing an eight-thousand-year Soul Ring will definitely be enough."
"And if his Third Soul Ring absorbs an eight-thousand-year Soul Ring that only Soul Kings could previously absorb, it will surely act directly upon his Martial Soul."
"Hong Jun! Do you trust Teacher?"
At that moment, Ma Hongjun was being stared at by Yu Xiaogang's burning gaze.
Liu Erlong, that violent fire dragon who attacked at the slightest disagreement, was standing beside him as well.
Ma Hongjun gritted his teeth and nodded.
"I trust you!"
What followed was simple.
With the Soul Sage-level strength of Flender and Liu Erlong, killing an eight-thousand-year Plant Soul Beast with Netherworld and water-type attributes was exceedingly easy.
Then came the scene before them.
Ma Hongjun began absorbing the Soul Ring. As it entered his body, his aura began changing violently.
A full hour passed before Ma Hongjun suddenly cried out.
His body suddenly burst into flames.
All his clothes were burned away, and even his hair was incinerated. Not a single strand remained anywhere on his body.
The place where the flames were most concentrated shone as brightly as a lamp in the night.
Liu Erlong took one glance, then hurriedly turned away.
The flames on Ma Hongjun's body continued to burn
