Perfect World

Chapter 758: Chapter 758 Immortal Shadow
 

Ten feet, nine feet, eight feet…

Beneath the green moon, descending like a divine glass reflecting the heavens, it shimmers brilliantly, slowly approaching the two people below.

By this point, Shi Hao took the situation seriously, no longer horsing around, prepared for battle. The same couldn’t be said for Yue Chan in the center of the field.

At first, warmth could be felt, but later it became a scorching pain, as if their Divine Skin was being sliced by knives and their bones cleaved by axes, and eventually it made their blood boil, oozing out from their pores!

Yue Chan’s body was originally pure white like ivory, but now a faint layer of blood appeared on her body surface, spreading around and burning together with the Innate Essence.

This was dangerous – one wrong move and she could turn into a bundle of flames, burned to ashes!

Because this is the Green Moon Flame, known by ancient powerhouses! It was called the supreme Ancient Fire left by a deceased True Immortal; even ancient Celestial Gods could not block it and countless were burned to death.

She couldn’t confront it directly; there was no way to fight back. The only option was to communicate with it, to establish a stable contractual relationship, otherwise, she would inevitably die.

Yue Chan was divine and flawless, her lips red and moist, emitting characters while reciting the Immortal Ancient sacrificial language, resonating with the Green Moon Flame, merging with it as one without distinction.

However, despite her persistence and not confronting it directly, it still consumed a large amount of her original Innate Essence, burning away as it bled from her pores into thin air.

Because the Green Moon Flame was too terrifying, even though it didn’t bring down its divine might, just its normal light alone was unbearable.

Yue Chan’s initially sweaty body soon evaporated into a mist, burning together with the spilled divine blood.

Her condition was a bit dire, swaying as if about to collapse, and she was struggling too much; she couldn’t bear it much longer.

Shi Hao frowned, his body radiating light, spewing out a stream of Innate Essence which transformed into a fabric of light and merged into Yue Chan’s pure white body, helping her replenish her true energy.

Yue Chan stabilized her form, her eyes lively; her tongue blossoming like a lotus, characters jumping out one by one from her mouth, communicating with the flame.

“Hmm, is she about to succeed?” Shi Hao showed a face of joy, noticing that the Green Moon had softened considerably and the temperature had drastically dropped. The fire seemed to sense Yue Chan’s struggle.

The Green Moon descended, coming within five feet above Yue Chan’s head, a dangerously close distance, yet she wasn’t harmed by the blazing heat. Instead, her situation seemed to improve a lot.

Shi Hao couldn’t help but sigh, “You really can’t compare people to each other. The first Ancient Fire I encountered was the Green Moon Flame, almost overwhelmed by it and cast away.”

Now Yue Chan appeared to be on the verge of success. If this spread, it would certainly shock the world!

You see, this kind of Ancient Fire is associated with True Immortals, extremely precious and rare. If one can harness it to achieve a Divine Seat, it could lead to the most astonishing evolution with endless potential.

Four feet, three feet, two feet…

The Green Moon drew near, becoming increasingly tranquil and peaceful, everything seemingly settled and likely to succeed.

“Boom!”

Suddenly, Yue Chan’s body trembled as the Green Moon came within one foot of her, and the flames underwent a change, a vague phantom emerging, causing its light to surge once again.

“Not good!”

Without hesitation, Shi Hao glowed all over, invoking his own Innate Essence, transforming into thousands of auspicious vapors, merging into Yue Chan’s body, striving with all his might to assist her.

Moreover, he continuously recited sacrificial words, engaging in communication.

The azure moonlight was resplendent, bursting forth extensively, enveloping Yue Chan, emitting an alarming aura. Even if Shi Hao was not at the scene, he would still feel its terror.

This kind of light, if out of control, could turn celestial beings into ashes!

At this moment, Yue Chan remained immobile, merely articulating words as the azure moon surrounded her, displaying composure and tranquility, neither joy nor sorrow evident.

Shi Hao was very nervous—should an accident occur, it wouldn’t just be a failure to subdue the fire, but complete annihilation, reducing everything to nothingness!

He now was unsure how to assist further, afraid to act rashly, worrying it might trigger an aberration in the lunar light.

Suddenly, Shi Hao’s expression stiffened. He saw a figure within the Green Moon, elegant and upright, standing in the moon, as if a True Immortal had been reborn!

“Is this… a female immortal of the green moon?” Shi Hao was greatly shocked, hardly believing such an imprint could exist.

He had previously consulted Qi Daolin, inquiring whether encountering such rare Ancient Fire might lead to bizarre occurrences, and he was told not to worry, as it had nothing to do with the ancient True Immortals anymore.

Yet now, how could he see a figure? This Ancient Fire was extraordinary!

Suddenly, Yue Chan let out a soft grunt, enduring immense pain, her body trembling, unable to hold on any longer.

“Yue Chan!”

Shi Hao’s expression changed as the azure lunar light that enshrouded her body drew close to her skin, the temperature so high it could make deities tremble.

“How could this be, wasn’t it becoming subdued and gentle, how has it become horrifying again?!” Shi Hao clenched his fists.

“It’s no use, I might have failed.” Yue Chan spoke, this terrifying temperature capable of turning any deity to dust, let alone a Venerable One.

As she spoke these words, her figure had already become somewhat blurred, her vitality severely damaged.

This was an abrupt mishap; previously, the moonlight reached her body without harm, but now it was like a wild horse breaking free, charging into her flesh and igniting her.

“No!”

Shi Hao yelled out, reciting sacrificial words, communicating with the Green Moon, trying to attract it over to stop this calamity.

“I didn’t expect it to end this way.” Yue Chan lamented with immense regret; she was enduring enormous pain, her pure white body being burned, barely holding on.

Her ability to even speak now was entirely due to a powerful will, otherwise, she would have already collapsed.

“I am still here, I will not let you die!” Shi Hao, with his divine sense, provoked the flames, taking the most extreme measures. He stimulated the fire, hoping to draw it over and free Yue Chan.

Bang!

A beam of light fell, intensely hot, shocking Shi Hao into flight and charring his entire body with a severe burning sensation.

He was horrified; it was just a haze of light, yet it had affected him so profoundly, one could only imagine the dire straits Yue Chan was in, on the brink of turning to ash.

“What kind of Immortal Qi does this bewitching fire possess, squabbling with a young woman? Come at me if you dare!” Shi Hao abandoned using the ancestral sacrificial language.

Because he knew, there was something unusual about this fire, there seemed to be an Immortal’s shadow within the moon, different from other rare sacred fires.

With a clang, he donned the battered armor, legendary to originate from the No-Man’s Land, seemingly with an incredible history.

At this moment, Shi Hao could no longer care about anything else. Though one should communicate with Ancient Fire, not resist it, he had no choice but to resort to force since the situation was desperate.

“Hiss!”

Braving life-threatening danger, he directly reached for Yue Chan’s blurred figure, trying to drag her out.

Seeing his desperate rescue, Yue Chan opened her mouth within the firelight, extremely weak, and said, “Don’t get killed… run!”

“Open!”

Shi Hao shouted, using his arms to disperse the fire, trying to scatter the moonlight and pull Yue Chan out, freeing her from certain death.

Yue Chan’s body was blurred, severely damaged, her eyes already dim, but seeing Shi Hao come to her rescue, she regained some light, softly speaking, “Just go, don’t be foolish.”

This was flame from a True Immortal, not something even Venerable Ones or a group of the most powerful Deities could contend with; they would die in vain.

“Bang!”

Without letting her continue, Shi Hao’s arm pierced through the light curtain, grabbed her, and swiftly retreated.

However, the green moon followed, still shedding its green sacred radiance, enveloping Yue Chan, unyielding, intent on completely obliterating her body.

At that moment, Shi Hao’s arm was in excruciating pain; he felt as though his bones were being burned through, certainly at least his flesh was parched.

But if anyone was there, they would be shocked: What kind of battered armor is this? It managed to block the fire’s ferocity, preventing him from truly igniting.

“True Immortal’s leftover fire, impossible to resist…” Yue Chan had a glint in her eyes, looking at Shi Hao, wanting to say something, but in the end, she only managed this sentence before forcefully pushing him away.

By then, her divine soul was ignited; not to mention her creamy skin and crystalline bones, her life was nearing its end.

And this was only due to the moonlight falling from the not yet fully enraged green moon; otherwise, she would have been directly incinerated into dust!

“What exactly are you trying to achieve, tormenting someone to death slowly like this?!” Shi Hao rebuked the green moon, then with a strong shake, the armor on his body detached and quickly covered Yue Chan’s body.

Next, he deployed his Divine Skills, sending Yue Chan away while he quickly dodged.

The armor, though full of large holes, still served some purpose.

Once Yue Chan’s blurred body was covered, it momentarily isolated her from the green moon, and all danger shifted immediately to Shi Hao, the celestial body seemingly enraged.

Boom!

A firelight fell, blasting Shi Hao away, who, had he been anyone else, would have turned to ash, but he was just hurled deep into the ruins, in severe pain, flames roaring.

Shi Hao gritted his teeth, resisting the impact.

“Damn it!” Shi Hao cursed, risking everything to save Yue Chan, but still, he failed.

The green moon wrapped around her, clinging persistently, now even more thoroughly hanging over her head, the two fused together.

And, with a ringing clang, the battered armor was shaken open, detaching from Yue Chan’s blurred body, falling away, unable to protect her any longer.

Determinedly, Shi Hao pulled out the Pill Furnace, ready to fight for his life; otherwise, Yue Chan would have no chance at all, and would be utterly destroyed.

“You… don’t come any closer!” This was the last will Yue Chan shouted.

Her expression complex, she watched Shi Hao from a distance, raising her blurred arm lightly waving.

“Nonsense, you are my wife, of course, I must save you!” Shi Hao threw the Pill Furnace, to release the Thunder resembling the aura of the Immortal Dao, and that piece of Yellow Mud, ready to use all his means.

Additionally, he charged forward himself, trying to lure the green moon away.

Yue Chan opened her mouth, but she could no longer speak, even her Divine Sense could not transmit.

Boom!

A divine light fell, supreme and unmatched, smashing Shi Hao away.

However, unexpectedly, he was not killed, nor even burned; this moonlight was special, intended only to push him away.

Simultaneously, the green moon shone brightly, the imprint of the female Immortal within becoming clearer, as if sighing softly.

And the flames engulfing Yue Chan calmed down, becoming gentler in an instant, and everything was reversed.

Yue Chan’s weakening breath grew stronger, her blurred body reappearing, like a phoenix reborn from the flames, emitting a vibrant life force.

Gradually, a soft glow revealed a pristine and crystalline Immortal body, Yue Chan reappeared, her flesh reborn anew.

“This is…” Shi Hao was astonished.

Yue Chan’s forehead was glowing, her mark resembling the “Immortal Dao Divine Form” transforming into a phantom in her forehead, like a dancing lady, resonating with the imprint of the woman in the green moon.
