Chapter 540 The setting sun is like blood
Azure Flame had long sensed the scent of the earth fire; the suppression of its rank made it fearless, only filled with intense longing.
It kept jumping around, urging Ye Kang to let it out quickly so it could feast.
Ye Kang remained expressionless, flicked his finger, and the emerald flames turned into specks of light, disappearing into the fire dragon that was attacking him.
At this moment, the Crimson Fire Ancestor was admiring the Fire Element True Flame before him as if he were appreciating a painting.
"Beautiful...so beautiful...but why did you come so late, only completing your cultivation when my time was almost up?"
His gaze gradually became frenzied, and his lips twitched and smiled inexplicably.
"Very well, then let us use the most of our lives to make the world remember your brilliance. You and I will both live in the fear of the world."
He smiled wickedly, showing no sorrow for the complete annihilation of his clan; only extreme madness remained.
If an elderly person nearing the end of their life were to receive an invincible treasure in their final moments, the consequence would be the destruction of everything.
"Go, burn him to ashes."
He was like a proud undertaker, gently pushing out the true form of the Fire Element True Flame.
Immediately, a fire spirit in the shape of a firebird burst forth from the true flames and shot straight into the sky.
Countless flames scattered all around, and everything that touched them was on fire.
Whether it's stone or a palace, anything he burns will turn into a handful of white ash in the shortest possible time.
At this moment, the Crimson Fire Ancestor had no regard for Ye Kang. In the face of the Earth Fire, no matter how talented or powerful that kid was, he had no chance of resisting.
That was indeed the case, but the Fire Element True Flame couldn't reach Ye Kang at all.
Amidst the endless waves of fire, countless flames of true fire rushed forth, only to be instantly swallowed by a point of green light.
The true form of the Fire Element True Flame keenly sensed something was wrong, and a sense of fear immediately gripped its heart.
It seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, and darted around wildly.
Upon seeing this scene, the Crimson Fire Ancestor's maniacal smile froze on his face.
"What happened? Why didn't you burn him to death!"
Before he could react, a green light shot out and opened its enormous turquoise maw in mid-air.
Although the Fire Element True Flame was larger and more intense, at this moment, it had no power to resist at all and could only cower in the corner, trembling.
Like a mouse seeing a cat, it instinctively loses all ability to resist.
The next second, to the astonishment of the Crimson Fire Ancestor, Azure Flame swallowed the Fire Element True Flame in one gulp.
He then let out a burp, and the flame instantly danced and grew larger before he mustered his strength to inhale.
The endless flames around them, like quicksand sinking into the mouth of the Azure Flame, all entered.
In the blink of an eye, the island, which had just been engulfed in flames, became a terrifying scorched wasteland.
Crimson Flame Ancestor stood there dumbfounded, staring incredulously at Azure Flame and Ye Kang who followed.
The latter extended his right hand, and the emerald green flames slowly merged into it.
The flames had grown significantly larger, now the size of a fist, and this was still before the food was fully digested.
After all, the level of the subterranean fire is very high, and it would take at least several hundred years, or even several thousand years, to completely devour it.
Let it digest itself slowly.
Ye Kang extinguished the flames and calmly looked at the Crimson Fire Ancestor.
The poor old man was now in tears.
How could he not understand what that green flame was?
He trembled slightly, shaking his head repeatedly: "Heavenly fire... Heavenly fire... How could you have heavenly fire? How could heavenly fire exist in the Coral Islands?"
Ye Kang sighed, "Senior, it's time to get going."
"No! Tell me! How did you obtain the Heavenly Fire!"
Ye Kang shook his head: "I can't tell you, but I can tell you that I am not Liu Ci. My real name is Ye Kang."
After speaking, he raised his hand and threw the Ink Dragon Spear, which instantly pierced through the dantian of the Crimson Fire Ancestor, leaving a bloody hole the size of a millstone on his body.
The Crimson Fire Ancestor collapsed to the ground, lying flat on his back, gazing at the sky.
He wasn't actually incapable of fighting anymore; he just didn't want to continue.
Nothing could have made him more desperate than this moment.
Perhaps at this moment, his impending death is actually a blessing in disguise for him.
Ye Kang walked over and silently closed his eyes.

[Congratulations, host, for defeating the top-tier Eight Pillars expert, Crimson Flame Ancestor. Reward: 100000 Comprehension Points]
Ye Kang unleashed a burst of fire, turning the corpse of the Crimson Fire Ancestor into ashes, which were then buried alongside his clansmen.
As for the storage bag on his body, there was no such thing.
What could a dying old man possibly have to keep?
Ye Kang sighed with some emotion, then looked to his left.
Ancestor Huo Yuanpeng, panting heavily, struggled to open his eyes, staring at Ye Kang with a complex expression.
Although the Crimson Fire Ancestor went mad, he still held back a trick in the end.
No matter how fierce the flames and lava were, his spirit pet, who had followed him his entire life, was not affected.
And beneath the spirit pet's tattered wings, a trembling young man.
"Huo Qingkong, did you hear that?"
That's right, Huo Qingkong was not burned to death either.
In his final moments, the progenitor Huo Yuanpeng used his own wings to protect him, hoping to save the Huo family's lives.
However, it now seems that this has become a pipe dream.
Because Ye Kang would never let them live.
Upon hearing this, Huo Qingkong clutched his arm tightly, his eyes filled with terror as if he had seen a demon.
"You are not Liu Ci!"
“That’s right, the real Liu Ci is still locked up in the solitary confinement room. He’s not as good as you.”
“He is not as good as me…” Huo Qingkong shed a tear.
Without wasting words, Ye Kang stretched out his right hand and pressed it onto the head of the progenitor Huo Yuanpeng.
Without a single word, there was a click.
The setting sun was like blood, and he stood alone in his black robe.
The two bodies fell down at the same time.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Kill the Primordial Fire Phoenix]
[Host receives reward: 400000 Comprehension]
[Demon Forge Prompt: Refine the Man-Eating Demon: Primordial Fire Phoenix?]
"Refining."
With a whoosh, the progenitor Huo Yuanpeng was swallowed up by the demon furnace.
Huo Qingkong's body also turned to ashes at the same time.
At that moment, Crimson Fire Island was completely annihilated.
The entire island was turned into a dead zone.
Ye Kang did not linger, but immediately fled far away.
His true energy was still plentiful, and his injuries were gradually improving as the green energy continued to circulate.
Although I really want to go out and find a place to hide, I'll stay put for a while.
But thinking about how Uncle Zhang and Fang Yu were still on the battlefield of Lingxi Island, Ye Kang was still a little worried.
He returned quickly.
Meanwhile, Lingxi Island had been reduced to ruins, and most of the guests had been evacuated.
Those who were unlucky enough to be completely destroyed were never found.
Many disciples of Blood Shark Palace were killed or wounded, while those of Tianya Haige, being composed entirely of elite experts, suffered only injuries, with no deaths.
Huo Zhun, Wu Shengnan, and others were all injured to varying degrees.
Of course, their battle was irrelevant.
The real deciding factor will be the duel between those two top-tier figures high in the sky.
