Ye Chenfeng brutally defeats and kills Zhu Tianlei and Zhu Zhize with his incredible physical strength, leaving Zhu Zhize in disbelief. Following the urging of his Green Flame, Ye Chenfeng ventures deeper into the path, discovering a large stone door. Beyond it lies a hall filled with numerous circular holes, and at its center, a blue flame entity forms a throne and declares its intent to devour Ye Chenfeng.

Uncontainable, the Green Flame residing within Ye Chenfeng’s dantian erupted forth. This time, Ye Chenfeng offered no resistance to its surge.

Having achieved the status of a Tri-Color Flame within the mysterious space, the Green Flame now pulsed with hues of green, red, and purple.

Generally, a Heaven and Earth Flame possessing more colors within its composition is typically more potent, even at the same temperature.

For instance, a three-colored flame at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm usually triumphs over a single-colored flame.

The Seven-Colored Flame stands as the most supreme form of Heaven and Earth Flame.

The acquisition of an additional color for a Heaven and Earth Flame is an extraordinarily arduous feat, rendering multi-colored Heaven and Earth Flames exceedingly rare and valuable.

Both Old Bai Wu Fengxian and Old Hei Jiang Yuntian, upon perceiving the blue flame apparition, voiced their astonishment in unison within Ye Chenfeng’s consciousness: "Ice-Fire Blue Flame?"

Ye Chenfeng inquired with a frown, "You are familiar with this Heaven and Earth Flame?"

Old Bai Wu Fengxian responded, "Indeed. In the nascent stages of the Ancient Era, a revered Alchemist wielded the Ice-Fire Blue Flame. It is said that this flame inherently possesses two opposing temperatures—one intensely frigid and the other searingly hot—which significantly aids in the art of alchemy."

"With these dual, contradictory temperatures, if the heat becomes excessive, the cold can instantly temper it; conversely, if the temperature drops too low, the heat can rapidly elevate it, dramatically increasing the success rate of crafting Elixirs."

"Due to its singular nature, the Ice-Fire Blue Flame, despite its single color, occupies the zenith among single-colored flames. I observed that this valley remained inert before, but your arrival has likely alerted the Ice-Fire Blue Flame. It desires to absorb your Green Flame, just as your Green Flame seeks to consume the Ice-Fire Blue Flame."

"The Ice-Fire Blue Flame present here is unlikely the very same one that belonged to the ancient Alchemist from the foundational period of the Ancient Era."

The Green Flame, which had erupted from Ye Chenfeng’s dantian, also contorted into a fiery humanoid form. Its gaze locked onto the blue flame apparition, it taunted, "You seek to devour me? Do you even possess the qualifications?"

Having been elevated to a Tri-Color Flame, the Green Flame exuded an inherent disdain towards a mere single-colored flame.

The blue flame apparition had only detected the entry of a Heaven and Earth Flame at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm into its valley, which triggered the valley's reaction. As the undisputed master of this domain, it was its prerogative.

However, the blue flame apparition had not foreseen that the intruding flame was not only a Heaven and Earth Flame at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm but also a Tri-Color Flame—an utterly unanticipated development.

Despite this surprise, the blue flame apparition felt no apprehension; rather, the azure flames adorning its form intensified. It harbored a perpetual aspiration to ascend to a Dual-Color or even a Tri-Color Flame, but the valley's confinement had rendered it incapable of leaving.

Even with the valley's unsealing, the blue flame apparition remained bound. While it commanded absolute authority within the valley's confines, a certain power still restricted it, an impediment that could only be overcome if its temperature reached the Divine Venerable realm, enabling its escape through sheer might.

The blue flame apparition responded with a sneer, "A Tri-Color Flame? Astonishing! I had initially presumed it to be a commonplace Heaven and Earth Flame! Had we met elsewhere, I might have harbored some trepidation, but within this sanctuary, why should I fear you? Submit and allow me to devour you, and perhaps I shall permit your master safe passage. Otherwise, your master shall perish alongside you!"

The Green Flame cast a glance towards Ye Chenfeng and declared, "Father, please withdraw from the hall. This is my battle, and I intend to consume it with my own power."

Old Hei Jiang Yuntian’s voice resonated in Ye Chenfeng’s mind, "Youngster, heed the Green Flame's counsel! This is a conflict between Heaven and Earth Flames. Those among them possessing sentience harbor their own pride. Trust that the Green Flame is capable of overwhelming its adversary."

Following Old Hei Jiang Yuntian’s guidance, Ye Chenfeng temporarily retreated beyond the hall's threshold, yet his gaze remained intently fixed on every unfolding event within.

Anticipating the Green Flame's refusal to be subdued, the blue flame apparition declared, "So, this is your decision? If I absorb you, it is highly probable I will ascend to a Tri-Color Flame, making you an integral part of me—a distinction you should consider an honor. Allow me to demonstrate my true power!"

The flames composing the blue flame apparition began to writhe and tremble erratically, its form growing increasingly indistinct.

Simultaneously,

from innumerable densely packed circular apertures dotting the ground, pillars of azure flame erupted violently.

Tens of thousands of these holes spewed forth continuous torrents of blue flame. These pillars of flame shared a common origin with the Ice-Fire Blue Flame itself.

Towering columns of blue flame erupted, rapidly transforming the hall into a boundless azure ocean of fire, with additional blue flames surging from the circular apertures.

The blue flame entity itself dissolved into this immense fiery expanse, its flames continuously replenished, causing the temperature of the Ice-Fire Blue Flame to escalate dramatically.

As blue flames poured incessantly from the numerous circular openings, the Ice-Fire Blue Flame's taunting laughter permeated the air: "How does this feel? This is my assurance. Here, I possess an inexhaustible stream of Origin Power to sustain me, while you have nothing. Your fate is to be consumed by me."

Enveloped by the vast blue inferno, the Green Flame abandoned its humanlike form, expanding into an enormous spread of flames, a fusion of green, red, and purple.

However, within the surrounding blue sea of fire, the flames comprising the Green Flame appeared minuscule.

Ye Chenfeng, observing from outside the hall, saw this spectacle and his frown deepened. He had initially believed that, having evolved into a Tri-Color Flame, the Green Flame would pose little challenge even to the distinct Ice-Fire Blue Flame.

Now, with the Ice-Fire Blue Flame receiving a constant influx of Origin support, it created a significant disadvantage for the Green Flame.

Old Bai Wu Fengxian offered, "Youngster, fret not just yet. Despite the Green Flame being a Tri-Color Flame, it won't be easily overwhelmed. Should the Green Flame prove incapable of defeating the Ice-Fire Blue Flame, we can devise a strategy then."

Meanwhile, inside the hall,

the Green Flame, now a massive conflagration, retorted disdainfully, "Is this your vaunted confidence? Relying on the replenishment of Origin Power? A single-hued flame remains just that, dependent entirely on external force. Is that your basis for confidence? Alas, even with your unending Origin Power, you shall ultimately be the one consumed."
