No matter how the Netherworld Lotus Fire urged the Heaven Refining Ancient Array, it had no effect whatsoever on the Netherworld Lotus Saint's remnant image.
The Netherworld Lotus Saint walked step by step toward the Netherworld Lotus Fire. His remnant image was illusory, yet to the Netherworld Lotus Fire, it was incomparably terrifying.
"Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer!"
The Netherworld Lotus Fire let out a hysterical roar, while the Netherworld Lotus Saint gave a soft sigh.
"Alas, when I first encountered you, you were as pure as an infant. I had intended to guide you onto the right path, but I never expected to fail in the end.
"The savagery in your bones could not be changed. In that sense, this was also my fault."
"How I grow has nothing to do with you."
The Netherworld Lotus Fire attacked the Netherworld Lotus Saint, but the latter easily blocked it.
"That's impossible! Impossible! You're only a remnant image. How can you stop my attack?"
"If the contingency I left behind had been found by someone else, I truly would not have been able to handle things as easily as I can now. But the person who found it is a Dou Di Emperor Venerable, so that changes everything.
"Even if I did nothing, you would never be able to leave this place. Still, I want to personally resolve the karma between us."
"What exactly do you want?"
"Since it was my indulgence that led you down the wrong path, I can only let you begin anew.
"I will strip away your consciousness and return you to your origin. Once you grow again, I believe you will not become what you are now."
