Chapter 174: Subduing the White Python Heavenly Flame

Dark red magma surged amidst rolling black smoke, accompanied by deafening roars that pressed outwards in waves.

Red-hot rocks were propelled high into the sky before crashing back down, leaving thousands of fiery streaks in the smoky air.

A volcanic eruption, the descent of the Sin of Pride Blackbeard, and the flight of countless monsters.

This was an apocalypse for all living beings—both humans and monsters alike.

Carl Ruffelo of White Mountain City stared in horror at the direction of Changbai Mountain's heavenly pool.

Amid the roaring flames, a white flame shaped like a python floated weightlessly through the sky, wandering aimlessly.

Carl Ruffelo could sense it—the terror of the magma paled in comparison to the serpentine white flame.

"Is this… a heavenly flame?

A naturally formed heavenly flame!"

Despair filled Carl Ruffelo's eyes.

The volcanic eruption alone was already devastating, and White Mountain City was doomed.

While he had the means to take his son and flee the city to preserve the Ruffelo family's bloodline,

the python-shaped heavenly flame would not allow any living being to escape.

Carl Ruffelo could feel the ferocity of the shadow flame.

Though it had yet to fully form, once complete, it would eradicate all life within a hundred-mile radius—down to the smallest blade of grass.

Meanwhile, mindless monsters continued their assault on the city. Within its walls, infiltrators ran rampant. Natural disasters and extraordinary calamities converged upon them.

Carl Ruffelo felt powerless. His longsword slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground with a clang.

Blackbeard, the Sin of Pride, considered leaving Changbai Mountain but hesitated. Slipping away quietly felt beneath its dignity.

Caught in indecision, it suddenly let out a battle cry toward the shadow flame in the sky.

"Shadow flame! Do you dare challenge me?

You're nothing but a spark!

This world shall fear only me, the Sin of Pride Blackbeard!"

With a roar, Blackbeard, wreathed in crimson flames, charged toward the shadow flame.

It sought to disperse the shadow flame with its sheer might!

In the sky, the white python-shaped shadow flame, still devoid of sentience, acted purely on instinct to destroy and burn.

The arrogant chimera, undeterred by the searing heat of the shadow flame, opened its jaws and unleashed a blast of crimson fire.

The shadow flame instinctively coiled around Blackbeard, igniting the very air.

What unfolded in the sky was a breathtaking sight.

Blackbeard roared as the white python wrapped around it.

Crimson and white flames intermingled into a massive fiery sea, creating a spectacle both eerie and awe-inspiring.

Blackbeard, one of the Seven Sins, held its own against the shadow flame. For now, neither side seemed to have the upper hand.

As the battle raged between Blackbeard and the python, a lone figure ascended into the sky.

He wore a crying ghost king mask and a black trench coat.

Alexander appeared minuscule before Blackbeard and the python—like a black sparrow before colossal creatures.

Alexander, wielding the Heavenly Flame of Creation, could sense the immense power of the white python flame.

His eyes gleamed with greed.

A scholar at heart, Alexander's mind raced as he recognized the white python flame's significance.

Elemental Spirit!

Flames, water, ice, sand—when elements of nature gain sentience, they become elemental spirits, sometimes even developing their own consciousness.

Among these, fire was the rarest.

Water, ice, and sand could exist for eons, but fire could not.

Fire could not burn for hundreds or thousands of years in one place.

Without the passage of time, it was impossible for fire to gain sentience and become an extraordinary entity.

The white python flame was an exception.

Ancient swords preserved for centuries in museums could become extraordinary items, capable of slaying demons.

Statues revered for millennia could gain power, suppressing formidable monsters.

What kind of existence could this flame, which had existed for an unknown number of years, become?

Could it rival heavenly flames?

Perhaps even surpass them?

Alexander wanted the white python flame.

Though he didn't know why Blackbeard was fighting the flame, preventing it from forming sentience, it didn't matter.

With the power of the Soul Fruit, Alexander planned to turn the white python flame into his Homie and then eliminate Blackbeard, burying it forever.

What could be more perfect than that?

Blackbeard noticed Alexander but didn't take him seriously.

To the Sin of Pride, Alexander was nothing more than a minor distraction.

"A mere human."

The Black Chimera was too arrogant, too proud.

Even if this human was a top-tier awakened one, so what?

As the Sin of Pride, Blackbeard could take on two foes at once and still achieve an ultimate counter-kill!

Alexander extended his hand, a ball of violet energy gathering in his palm, aimed at the white python-shaped shadow flame.

A violet magic circle, a hundred meters in diameter, appeared before him, pulsating with raw power.

The energy surged forward, a torrent of violet force streaking toward the white python heavenly flame.

As the energy clashed with the air, powerful gusts of wind swept through, rustling Alexander's hair and trench coat rhythmically as he hovered midair.

The violet energy enveloped the white python flame within moments, casting a shimmering purple hue over its surface.

The white python flame let out a piercing, sorrowful shriek.

"Shriek!!!"

A force was destroying its nascent consciousness while imbuing it with a new one.

The flame began to struggle desperately.

It had taken a million years to develop even the faintest hint of intelligence, and it refused to let itself be annihilated before it was fully formed.

Blackbeard narrowed its eyes and retreated to the side.

Its arrogance forbade it from attacking a foe in such a vulnerable state.

Unlike the unscrupulous human, Blackbeard, as the Sin of Pride, would never stoop to striking a struggling opponent!

The battle with Blackbeard had already delayed the white python flame's full awakening, and Alexander's attack at its weakest moment was the final blow.

The white python flame faltered, its resistance waning.

It writhed feebly like a dying serpent, its movements sporadic and weak.

Alexander's pupils dilated sharply. He suddenly realized something horrifying—the white python flame was greedily siphoning his lifespan!

Fire requires fuel to burn, and for the white python flame, its fuel was lifespan.

In that fleeting moment, 300 years of Alexander's life had been consumed by the flame.

And that was only enough to sustain the flame for a single year.

To keep the white python heavenly flame alive, more lifespan would have to be offered before it extinguished.

This conquest was nothing like Alexander's previous revival of the demon ape.

Back then, he had exhausted all his spiritual energy and sacrificed 200 years of his life—a one-time expense.

The demon ape could regenerate its own energy and was effectively immortal.

The white python flame, however, required an endless supply of lifespan.

A greater ally demanded a greater price.

The white python heavenly flame was now completely subdued. It slithered toward Alexander, coiling itself around him like a loyal companion.

Alexander reached out his hand, intending to gently stroke the python's head.

To his surprise, his hand passed straight through—it was pure flame, with no physical body.

Yet he felt no heat, no pain. The white python flame had fully accepted Alexander as its master, perhaps even as a parent.

It would never harm him.

Alexander murmured to himself,

"What exactly are you?

Never before in history has a flame become an elemental spirit."
