Strongest Eccentric Consort Chapter 378 – The Master Of 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire'?

Chapter 378: The Master of 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire'?

The red crystal stone was vibrant, brilliant, and beautiful. It emitted a strange aura and attracted many of the flame sparks that were floating in the air above Lou Qianxue and Gong Sunheng.

“Huh? This thing seems special!” Gong Sunheng's eyes lit up. “Who knows it may come in handy when we obtain the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire'!”

The moment the red crystal stone had appeared inside the boundary of the Abnormal Fire, a black shadow deep within the boundary vigorously trembled. A wild and sinister laugh suddenly reverberated in a deeper area of the flame…

“Divine Blood Stone! The ants who broke into the boundary of the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire' actually have the Divine Blood Stone!

“Hahaha… Looks like heaven is helping me! I can finally leave this d.a.m.n place!!! Hahahaha!”

“So hot!” Mo Qingyuan was the first person to enter the boundary of the Abnormal Fire. Right now, she was profusely sweating and her clothes were almost drenched. However, she had yet to find even a single trace of the original source of the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire.'

“Where is it?”

She wiped her sweat and frowned.

Suddenly…

“Young lady.”

An old and kind voice suddenly called out to her.

“Huh? Who is it!” Mo Qingyuan's expression changed, and she raised her guard.

Whis.h.!.+

A flame that was as tall as a person suddenly sprung up near Mo Qingyuan. It gave her a fright, and she hurriedly retreated a few steps.

Then, she clearly saw a faint black shadow on the surface of the flame that was as tall as a person. It looked like the figure of a person. At the same time, a complicated and piercing white light lit up at the feet of the figure in the flame.

“Flame? Could it be! You're the original source of the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire'?” Mo Qingyuan happily asked.

“You're right. It's me.” The old voice slowly replied to her.

A tinge of greed flashed past Mo Qingyuan's eyes, but she calmed down soon. “No, that's not right. You have a human's figure. How can the original source of the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire' be a human? Why did you pa.s.s yourself off as the original source of the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire'? Where's the real original source?”

“Ah! Young lady, you're smart! You are right, I'm indeed not the original source of the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire,' but I'm the master of 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire'.”

“What? Master of the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire'?” Mo Qingyuan exclaimed. She immediately rebuked it, however. “Impossible! If you're really the master of the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire,' then the Abnormal Fire would've already been under your control in your body. How could it still be sealed here? Don't you dare deceive me!”

“I didn't deceive you. I'm indeed the master of the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire.' It's just that I was the previous master.”

“The previous master?”

“Yes. I was the previous master of the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire.' Many years ago, a bloodthirsty monster appeared on the Xuantian continent. In order to defeat it, I had to give up my life. In the end, only a remnant soul of me was left behind. Don't worry, what you see is just a wisp of my thought. I can't hurt you.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Qingyuan's heart wildly palpated. She still felt doubtful and asked, “Is everything you said true?”

“Of course. What will I get by deceiving you? The reason I appeared to see you is that this last bit of my remnant soul is disappearing soon. With it, the knowledge, the martial arts, and the methods of subduing the 'Phantom Demon Heart Fire,' as well as the techniques of using it, will be lost. This pains my heart.”

Mo Qingyuan clenched her fists and instantly became agitated. “Senior, senior… you mean, you want… to pa.s.s down everything you've learned to me?”

The Xuantian continent had many exceptionally powerful experts who would look for successors after they had died. These experts would usually leave behind a ray of divine consciousness or remnant soul.

That was why the people of Liuyun Prefecture thought of Dan Taiyuan, who had appeared during the prefecture compet.i.tion, as the remnant soul of a powerful expert.
