Chapter 191 Golden Spirit Sacred Flame

The battle between Lin He and Wan Tianming did not last long. Although the Qianlan Ice Flame prevented people outside from entering the cave, it did not have the ability to restrict divine sense. Everyone sensed everything that had just happened, and their expressions varied.

The bearded man was astonished, not expecting Wan Tianming to be dealt with by Lin He so quickly. The four Azure Fire Thunders and the Golden Thunder Bamboo magic treasure that Lin He had retrieved shocked him even more. He couldn't help but ponder, "It seems Ji Yin was right; this kid must have captured the Xuan Bone. No wonder his Golden Thunder Bamboo magic treasure is now in his hands. But how did this kid get his hands on these four Azure Fire Thunders? Could it be related to the Three Yang Old Demon?"

Although Lin He suffered minor injuries and his aura weakened after a fierce battle with Wan Tianming, he also obtained a powerful weapon, the Heavenly Net True Thunder, which made the Barbarian Beard somewhat wary. Although he had a Thunder-absorbing Stone, he did not want to be hit by one.

Nangong Wan was alright, after all, she knew Lin He well and knew that he had many trump cards, but she still pretended to be shocked.

Qing Yi wasn't feigning surprise; he was genuinely astonished. He thought to himself, "My disciple is incredibly powerful! He killed Ji Yin and Wan Tianming one after another, and even their Nascent Soul stages couldn't escape—one was destroyed, and the other was captured. He's truly terrifying!"

Mu Tengzi and Tian Wuzi were horrified to see that Wan Tianming had even been captured at the Nascent Soul stage. Although they were both early-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, this Fellow Daoist Lin's performance was simply too astonishing.

The two exchanged a glance and both began to back down. They slowly retreated towards the entrance of the platform. Seeing this, the bearded man opposite them suddenly said, "Wan Tianming's physical body has been destroyed and his nascent soul has been captured. Are you two just going to run away without doing anything about it? If this gets out, I'm afraid Aunt Wan will not let you off the hook."

Upon hearing this, Tianwuzi flew into a rage and shouted, "You barbarian, what do you mean?"

The bearded man chuckled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that this kid is indeed quite strong. I'm not confident I can take him down by myself, but with the help of you guys, even if he has three heads and six arms, he won't be able to escape today."

Tian Wuzi and Mu Tengzi exchanged a glance, both hesitant. Just as Man Huzi had said, it would be difficult to explain to Wan Sangu if they left like this, but if they didn't leave, they were afraid of ending up like Ji Yin, unable to even escape the Nascent Soul stage.

Seeing their hesitation, the bearded man quickly urged them on, "You two are overestimating this person. He was able to kill Ji Yin and capture Wan Tianming's Nascent Soul entirely because of the advantageous location of this ice cave below. Wan Tianming's strength was greatly weakened inside, which is why that kid succeeded. You two can't possibly not understand this point, can you?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Wuzi and Mu Tengzi perked up. After thinking about it, they realized it made perfect sense. Without the constraints of the ice cave, even if they were no match for the enemy, their nascent souls could still escape at any time.

With that in mind, the two agreed to the proposal to join forces. However, each of them requested a top-tier ancient treasure as payment, and they also agreed to hand over the treasures in Wan Tianming's possession, as well as Wan Tianming's nascent soul.

Without a second thought, the bearded man agreed. He dared not act rashly like Lin He and kill Wan Tianming. He simply said, "These two top-tier ancient treasures are yours. Wan Tianming's nascent soul and his treasures are also yours. However, the Golden Thunder Bamboo Arrow, the Eight Gates Golden Light Mirror, the Void Heaven Cauldron, and the Heaven-Mending Pill must be given to me. Also, that kid's storage bag must contain many good things. In short, if we join forces to kill this kid and then divide the treasures, we will definitely not lose out."

Qingyi and Nangong Wan exchanged a glance and made the same request for a top-tier ancient treasure, and then agreed to join forces.

Upon hearing this, the bearded man was overjoyed and laughed loudly, "Gentlemen, there's no need to be too afraid. If the five of us attack together, even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't be able to defeat us, let alone a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. As long as we don't enter the cave, when he comes out, hmph—"

Upon hearing this, Tian Wuzi frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Man, if he keeps hiding in the cave, we still won't be able to get in. If he hides inside for a month, and the Void Heaven Palace closes, won't we all have to die here with this kid?"

The bearded man, however, remained unconcerned, saying, "Fellow Daoist, you're overthinking it. The scenario you're imagining is simply impossible. The ice cave is filled with the extremely cold energy transformed from the Azure Ice Flame. How long could that kid last inside? Could his magical power withstand such a drain?"

Upon hearing this, Tian Wuzi was finally relieved. Everyone ignored the giant demon corpse and looked down at the ice cave, their eyes revealing undisguised greed.

In their view, as long as they didn't enter the cave to fight Lin He, no matter how powerful Lin He was, he would definitely not be a match for the five of them. The thought of Lin He having so many treasures made everyone's hearts burn with excitement, except for Qing Yi and Nangong Wanxin, who were filled with worry.

Inside the ice cave below, Lin He naturally used his divine sense to perceive everything that was happening high above. He thought to himself, "Heh heh! Five people teaming up to deal with me? What a joke. Two of you are spies I planted, and you're still clueless."

Thinking of this, Lin He ignored them and did not rush out to fight the group of people outside. Instead, he set his sights on the Azure Ice Flame.

"Since Xuan Gu can conjure up Asura Sacred Flame, there's no reason why I can't. Why not give it a try? If I can temporarily control this Azure Ice Flame, I'll be more confident in the upcoming battle."

The golden vortex transformed into a whirlwind that swept towards the surrounding blue giant ice.

A strange thing happened!

The golden flames and the giant blue ice emitted a series of sounds like metal rubbing against metal. The golden and blue light intertwined continuously, but the golden light was clearly at a disadvantage and was suppressed by the blue light.

Just then, the Fiend Core clone, protected by golden flames, suddenly pointed a finger at the small golden thunder bamboo arrow in front of it.

The next moment, the emerald green arrow shot directly into the golden and blue flames. In an instant, the two golden lights and the blue light intertwined, seemingly about to merge together.

Such an astonishing scene naturally caught the attention of Barbarian Beard and the others. Everyone looked up and their expressions changed immediately.

The ice cave below had long since disappeared, and Lin He reappeared, this time holding a huge ball of light in his hand.

This sphere of light was unusually peculiar. The innermost layer was blue flames, the middle layer was a ball of golden flames, and the outermost layer was streaks of golden lightning that moved erratically, making it look very eerie.

"Just as I expected!" Lin He smiled and said, "The golden divine flame, the evil-repelling divine thunder, and the azure ice flame can actually be fused together. I call it the Golden Spirit Sacred Flame!"

Lin He held the Golden Spirit Sacred Flame in his hand, looked at the bearded man and the others, and said coldly, "Now you'll taste its power!"
