Nether Poison Flame

Chu Yun Empire, Ten Thousand Poison Cliff.

This was a forbidden land of the Chu Yun Empire, filled everywhere with poisonous miasma. Almost no living creature could survive in this region.

And this was merely the outskirts. The deeper one went, the stronger the poisonous miasma became. It was impossible to imagine what terrifying things existed in the depths of Ten Thousand Poison Cliff.

Tang Chen and Xiao Yi Xian stepped out of a spatial rift.

The moment he arrived, Tang Chen could not help frowning. Though the poisonous miasma posed no harm to him, he instinctively found it uncomfortable.

Tang Chen estimated that even a Dou Emperor expert would likely face certain death after inhaling the poisonous gas here.

Tang Chen turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian and found her staring fixedly at the poisonous miasma below, her eyes filled with longing.

It was the first time Tang Chen had seen Xiao Yi Xian wear such an expression. Somewhat uncertain, he asked, "Xiao Yi Xian, are you all right?"

"I-I'm fine. It just feels like this place is very suitable for my Woe Poison Body," Xiao Yi Xian said softly after withdrawing her gaze and steadying her emotions.

The moment Xiao Yi Xian arrived here, she could feel her Woe Poison Body developing an extreme craving for this place. That craving was like a physiological instinct.

Seeing that Xiao Yi Xian was fine, Tang Chen stopped wasting time. His vast soul power instantly covered the entire Ten Thousand Poison Cliff, constantly alert to every movement in the surroundings.

However, deep within Ten Thousand Poison Cliff lay a swamp. At its bottom, something actually blocked Tang Chen's soul perception.

But it only blocked him for a moment. After Tang Chen increased his soul power, he easily penetrated the restriction and glimpsed the scene at the bottom of the swamp.

It was a world filled with poisonous miasma and death, littered with the bones of corpse beasts. At the center of that world, a cluster of dark green flames blazed fiercely, making the entire place incomparably eerie.

"The Nether Poison Flame really is here!" Tang Chen said, a hint of joy appearing on his face as he withdrew his perception.

Tang Chen did not delay any longer. After placing a Dou Qi protective barrier around each of them, he took Xiao Yi Xian's hand and entered Ten Thousand Poison Cliff.

Passing through countless clouds of poisonous miasma, Tang Chen and Xiao Yi Xian reached the swamp in just a few seconds.

As the two approached the swamp, eerie runes lit up around them, blocking their path.

Looking at those runes, Tang Chen finally understood. He said in a deep voice, "So that's how it is. Someone set up a restriction here. No wonder I couldn't sense it."

"This can't stop me." Tang Chen smiled faintly and struck the restriction before him with his palm.

The palm wind was incomparably powerful. The instant it touched the restriction, it easily destroyed it.

"Let's go!" Tang Chen raised a hand and set up an isolation barrier before directly bringing Xiao Yi Xian into the swamp.

The two dived all the way down until they reached the bottom of the swamp and saw the strange space where the Nether Poison Flame resided.

"I never expected the bottom of this swamp to look like this." Xiao Yi Xian looked around, a flash of shock crossing her face.

"After all, this is a place that gave birth to a Heavenly Flame." Tang Chen looked at the space before him, and a trace of admiration appeared in his eyes as well.

As they spoke, the two flew toward the center of this space.

The closer they drew to the center, the higher the temperature became, while the poison within the miasma grew increasingly terrifying.

Fortunately, Tang Chen was extremely powerful, so these things basically had no effect on him.

Xiao Yi Xian felt even more comfortable. This place seemed tailor-made for her; with every breath, she could feel her cultivation increase.

This place felt like home to her.

Before long, the two saw the Nether Poison Flame. It was a cluster of dark green fire, like ghostly flame, filled with eeriness and death.

As if sensing danger, the Nether Poison Flame seemed to come alive and instantly fled into the distance.

"Trying to run?" A cold smile appeared at Tang Chen's lips. He had long been prepared, and he drew the fleeing Nether Poison Flame toward him with his palm.

The flame had no room to struggle and was directly pulled into Tang Chen's hand.

Once caught in Tang Chen's hand, the Nether Poison Flame seemed to have been paused. It gave no further reaction and behaved obediently.

"Xiao Yi Xian, get ready. Next, I'll help you refine this Heavenly Flame and completely resolve your Woe Poison Body." Tang Chen's expression turned serious as he spoke in a low voice.

Xiao Yi Xian also knew that this concerned her future, and her delicate face became unusually serious.

The two did not leave. Instead, they found a secluded spot at the bottom of the swamp, an excellent place to refine the Heavenly Flame.

Tang Chen had basically prepared everything: the Spirit Container, the Blood Lotus Pill, and the Ice Spirit Cold Spring.

"C-come on. I'm ready!" Xiao Yi Xian said, forcing herself to remain calm, though her voice trembled.

Although Xiao Yi Xian said she was ready, Tang Chen could still hear the fear in her voice.

To ease Xiao Yi Xian's fear, Tang Chen stroked her head and comforted her gently. "Don't worry. It will definitely succeed. You have to believe in me."

"Mm!" Hearing Tang Chen's voice, Xiao Yi Xian's fear lessened considerably. She silently encouraged herself, and then her gaze became firm.

"Take off your clothes first."

Yet just as she had steeled herself, Tang Chen's words caught her completely off guard.

"W-what? W-why do I have to take off my clothes?" Xiao Yi Xian's face immediately flushed crimson, and she began to stammer incoherently.

"You don't have to, but they'll be burned away later anyway." Tang Chen said with a mischievous grin.

After thinking about it, Xiao Yi Xian slowly took off her clothes. As she did, she blushed and said to Tang Chen, "Y-you're not allowed to look."

Seeing Xiao Yi Xian's embarrassment, Tang Chen could not help teasing her. "What's there to look at on that little body of yours?"

Upon hearing that, Xiao Yi Xian lowered her head to look at her small breasts, then compared them with Medusa's. They truly were pitifully small.

Before long, Xiao Yi Xian had removed every piece of clothing, her snowy white body fully revealed before Tang Chen.

"Oh? A white tiger..." Tang Chen raised his brows, unable to suppress the wicked smile on his face.

"W-what? What tiger?" Xiao Yi Xian covered her chest with her small hands, the blush spreading from her neck to the tips of her ears.

"Ahem! Nothing. Let's hurry and begin." Tang Chen withdrew his gaze, his expression becoming serious and his tone solemn.

Xiao Yi Xian also knew this was no game. Her expression turned serious as she sat down cross-legged and prepared to refine the Heavenly Flame.

Following the proper order, Tang Chen first gave Xiao Yi Xian the Blood Lotus Pill to swallow, protecting her body so it could come into contact with the Heavenly Flame.

After Xiao Yi Xian swallowed the Blood Lotus Pill, Tang Chen handed her the flame seed of the Nether Poison Flame.

Under Tang Chen's control, the Nether Poison Flame had been suppressed to an extremely safe degree and would basically cause no harm to Xiao Yi Xian.

Xiao Yi Xian swallowed it. The moment the Heavenly Flame entered her abdomen, the temperature in her body began to rise sharply, and a pained expression appeared on her face.

Tang Chen did not pause. He quickly gave Xiao Yi Xian the Ice Spirit Cold Spring to protect her body.

Once everything was done, Tang Chen instantly moved behind Xiao Yi Xian, pressing both hands against her jade-like back as he controlled the Heavenly Flame, preventing it from going berserk and easing Xiao Yi Xian's burden.
