Awakening from the Devouring Starry Sky

Chapter 712: Fire Candle
Just as the White-haired Blood Demon and the White Dragon Fairy were about to fight, ripples appeared in the distance, and a burly giant with one eye and red skin appeared out of thin air, his long red hair flying wantonly, and his body was also filled with blazing flames. For a moment, it seemed as if the air around them was ignited, and a surging hot breath spread out...
"Hmm? Gods and demons?" The powerful aura belonging to the Return to Void Gods and Demons immediately changed the expressions of the White-haired Blood Demon and the White Dragon Fairy. Then the one-eyed giant swept his single eye, which was glowing red, across the puppet warship where Bai Yan and Di Yue were, and then looked at the White-haired Blood Demon and the White Dragon Fairy with a sharp gaze.

The next moment, the candle raised its head and roared, and its body suddenly expanded. In a blink of an eye, it turned into a one-eyed demon with a body that seemed to be flowing with magma. The flames rose and spread more and more violently and terrifyingly, causing the surrounding space to distort.

"Where did the gods and demons come from? They want to attack as soon as they come. What's wrong with them?" The white-haired blood demon frowned with a change of expression on his face when he saw this. With a hint of vigilance in his mind, a magic weapon like a blood-colored silk thread appeared out of thin air and surrounded him. As the silk thread surrounded him, the space seemed to be cut and distorted.

The White Dragon Fairy, who also frowned and looked serious, dodged and retreated closer to the puppet warship that Bai Yan and the others were in. Her action instantly caused Huo Zhu to turn his head and look at her, and his aura became even more violent.

"Could it be that he was following orders to protect Fairy Bai Yan and the others?" Seeing Huo Zhu's reaction, the White Dragon Fairy, whose face changed slightly, was moved, and then hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong! I don't mean to harm Fairy Bai Yan and the others."

Huo Zhu stared at the White Dragon Fairy with a burning gaze, without making any comment. After the White Dragon Fairy took the initiative to distance itself from the puppet warship, he turned to look at the White-haired Blood Demon again. He took a step forward and smashed his fist at the White-haired Blood Demon.

"Hmph!" Seeing Huozhu taking action without saying a word, the gloomy-faced white-haired Blood Demon snorted coldly. With an idea, the blood-colored threads surrounding his body suddenly turned into a blood-colored arc and went towards Huozhu.

The blood-colored thread nimbly avoided Huozhu's fist and cut into Huozhu's body like a sharp blade, but it only barely cut through the magma-like fluid on Huozhu's body surface. However, when cutting Huozhu's skin, it was like cutting extremely hard ore, and it failed to cut it, but only produced a series of sparks.

"What?" Seeing this scene, the white-haired blood demon who had already dodged and retreated to avoid Huozhu's punch couldn't help but find it hard to believe: "Even those returning to the void gods and demons with particularly strong physical bodies can't have such strong physical defense. My Thousand Soul Blood Thread is a top-grade fairy-level magic weapon, how is it possible that it can't even cut his skin? Could it be that he has practiced the rumored Eight-Nine Profound Art?"

"Eight-Nine Profound Arts? How is that possible? This magical power is probably only possessed by some of the most powerful people in the Three Realms. Even the disciples of Daozu may not be able to learn it. What is the origin of this god and demon? It's just a returning god and demon. Its strength is at most comparable to that of a celestial being. It couldn't pass the calamity and become a celestial being. How could it attract the attention of Daozu and be taught the magical power of body protection?" The White-haired Blood Demon was full of doubts.

Roar... At the same time, Huozhu, who missed the attack, roared in annoyance, and his divine power seemed to be boiling. The huge fist like a mountain that was flowing with magma and surging with flames and causing the space to distort was smashed down again, and the space around the White-haired Blood Demon collapsed immediately.

"Damn it!" Feeling the violent and terrifying power contained in Huozhu's punch, the white-haired blood demon, with an ugly expression on his face, hurriedly controlled the thousand soul blood lines to transform into circles of blood ripples to block the front.

Boom... the terrifying punch was like a volcanic eruption, causing the distorted space to collapse and turn into energy turbulence. In the rapidly dimming blood light, the white-haired blood demon flew backwards in a somewhat embarrassed manner. After stabilizing his figure in the distance, he shuddered and spat out a mouthful of blood. With a gloomy face and dark red eyes, he stared at the Huozhu with flames rising all over his body and an extremely violent aura, "What a powerful Return to Void God and Demon! The attack power of that punch just now has definitely reached the level of a celestial being."

"I didn't expect that this Return to Void God and Demon has such a deep understanding of the Way of Fire. With such strength, perhaps he has some hope of becoming a god after overcoming the tribulation. Who sent him? I haven't heard that the Di family in the South China Sea has a Return to Void level God and Demon!" The White Dragon Fairy who was watching the battle on the side also had a moving look in his eyes: "No wonder the master asked me to help Fairy Bai Yan and the others. The foundation of the Di family is indeed not to be underestimated. It has a deep background, and it also has a disciple who worshipped as a disciple of the Three Pure Ones. I'm afraid that the Di family will become the real top tribe in the Great Xia world in the future." "But, the master and the Di family don't have much friendship, why did he ask me to help? And the master has no need to please the Di family, could it be..." The White Dragon Fairy, whose mind was racing, looked at Huozhu with a hint of doubt: "Could it be that the evil genius Di Ke from the Di family who sent him? Has he returned to the Great Xia world?"

While the White Dragon Fairy was secretly guessing in his heart, Huozhu and the white-haired blood demon quickly released their true fire. The strength they unleashed was so strong that it shocked everyone watching the fight.

"I didn't expect this old guy to be so strong!" Di Yue frowned and gritted his teeth, then turned to look at Qing'er who was watching the battle attentively and asked: "Where did the god and devil fighting with him come from? It seems to be here to help us. Did my brother arrange it?"

"I'm not too sure," Qing'er shook her head slightly. Bai Yan, who was standing beside her, said with a complicated expression, "They all have strength comparable to that of celestial beings. I didn't expect that the Blood God Cult is so well hidden! Not only did the Blood God Son fight the Tuoshan Celestial Being without losing, but his master seems to be even more powerful!"

"This old demon Bai is hiding so deeply, no wonder he was so confident before." Looking at the strength and means displayed by the white-haired blood demon in the fierce battle with Huozhu, the White Dragon Demon Immortal couldn't help but frowned slightly: "It seems that the Wuxian Sect is really willing to invest in the Blood God Sect!"

"Damn it! You can't do anything to me, why do you have to keep pestering me? What deep hatred do I have with you? Aren't you really afraid of exposing your whereabouts and getting into trouble?" The white-haired blood demon, who was somewhat embarrassed to deal with the violent attack of the candle, gritted his teeth and growled.

"Cause trouble?" Hearing this, Huo Zhu remembered the days of hiding in the past, and couldn't help but become more furious: "Haha... In this Great Xia world, except for the God-Slaying Guards under Emperor Xia, who can do anything to me? Not to mention a casual immortal like you, even if you are a celestial immortal, I don't take you seriously."

What? The white-haired blood demon's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and his expression became even uglier. Even the White Dragon Fairy couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows: "What a big tone! It seems that there is someone behind this god and demon! Huh?"

Then the White Dragon Fairy's face changed slightly. As the Fire Candle spoke, the flames rising from its body quickly turned into a dark red color. A terrifying and heart-pounding destructive wave spread from its body. In an instant, the violent aura emanating from the Fire Candle was several times stronger than before.

“God?” The White Dragon Fairy was also somewhat surprised and incredulous. The white-haired blood demon’s face changed drastically. “Impossible! How can a Returning Void God Demon be so powerful? Is he already a God? Or has he cultivated some terrifying explosive magical power?”

"No, it's a magical power! The magical power that can allow the Return to Void God and Demon to burst out with such power, could it be..." The White Dragon Demon Fairy shook his head and murmured, his face changing as if he had thought of something.
