Dragon-Marked War God

“Bastard, what kind of fire is this! I won’t give in!”

The little fire spirit roared. An unrivaled struggle erupted deep in Jiang Chen’s heart. The Starfire Fire Spirit’s outburst drove the Five Elemental Divine Fire back completely. Only the origin true fire of the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus was left, still entangled with it. But the Starfire’s fire spirit was extraordinarily terrifying. Jiang Chen kept urging it on, trying to fuse with it, but every time the little fire spirit dodged away, and it even sounded the horn for a counterattack!

For the little fire spirit to devour Jiang Chen was not so easy either. After all, the Five Elemental Divine Fire and the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus could protect Jiang Chen without any problem. The little fire spirit kept launching blazing assaults on Jiang Chen’s body, and now even the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus, under its suppression, had lost its original ferocity.

The Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus lost the initiative it originally had and began retreating step by step. Even with the Five Elemental Divine Fire joining forces with it, it was no use.

Jiang Chen’s crisis grew step by step, escalating step by step. The little fire spirit’s assaults became faster and faster, and Jiang Chen had fallen into an extremely passive position.

“Damned bastard. I absolutely can’t let it devour the Five Elemental Divine Fire and the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus.”

Jiang Chen kept roaring and raging in his heart, but it was no use.

At this moment, an even more blazing flame awakened deep in Jiang Chen’s heart.

“Red Lotus!”

Jiang Chen exclaimed. The origin true fire of the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus had been heavily suppressed, so naturally Red Lotus had sensed it. When she saw the fire spirit in front of her, she was also deeply shocked. She had never imagined there was such a strange fire spirit in this world.

“This fire spirit hasn’t finished transforming yet. If it finishes transforming, even I may not be able to resist it. It doesn’t seem to be an ordinary flame. Just like Heavenly Lightning comes in all sorts of forms, this is a strange fire that leaves one in awe. I’ve never even heard of a fire spirit like this, so I can only try to devour it with the origin power I have now.”

Red Lotus’s low voice filled Jiang Chen with worry. If this guy finished transforming, even the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus would not be able to control it?

“How sure are you?”

Jiang Chen could not help asking.

“Thirty percent!”

Red Lotus said in a low voice.

Jiang Chen drew in a cold breath. But at this moment, this was the only chance they had.

“Thank you for your trouble, Red Lotus.”

Jiang Chen said silently. He knew there was nothing more he could say. If they failed, the two of them would both vanish into smoke. But at this moment, the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus truly had to stake its life once.

“If you die, I die too. It isn’t just devouring you, it’s also devouring my origin true fire. So you don’t need to thank me.”

Red Lotus said calmly. Jiang Chen gave a bitter smile. She was still as cold as frost. But now he really could only place all his hopes on Red Lotus. Jiang Chen had run out of options. If Red Lotus failed, then that was simply his fate.

Jiang Chen was unwilling, but right now he had no way out, because all he could do was put his hope in Red Lotus.

The moment Red Lotus’s origin true fire came out, the fire spirit, just as expected, became timid. After all, the earlier Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus had only been a wisp of Red Lotus’s origin true fire. Now it was the real Red Lotus making a move, and the two could not be mentioned in the same breath.

“Hehehe, this really is interesting. It seems I’m truly blessed. Right after I was born, there’s such an origin true fire here for me to absorb. What great fortune, hehehe.”

The Starfire Fire Spirit’s cold, sinister laughter echoed in Jiang Chen’s heart. Though startled, the Starfire Fire Spirit did not panic. It kept colliding with Red Lotus and probing her, and finally charged and devoured frantically. Both of them wanted to devour the other completely. But things did not go as they wished. Jiang Chen had never imagined this Starfire Fire Spirit would be so powerful. Even with Red Lotus making a move, the struggle between them was turning into a one-sided affair. This Starfire Fire Spirit was simply too powerful. There was no flame at all that could match it.

“This flame is actually even stronger than the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus?”

Jiang Chen’s heart shook violently. He had thought the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus was the strongest flame between heaven and earth, but he had never expected the starfire inside this meteorite to be no less formidable.

“The Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus really is the strongest flame between heaven and earth, but my origin power isn’t strong enough right now. And it has the meteorite as its host. Although it was born not long ago, its terrifying flame origin is not weaker than mine in the slightest.”

Red Lotus said in a deep voice. At this moment, she was already showing signs of defeat. If she continued struggling, the outcome would probably be grim. Even though Red Lotus used every trick she had, with her flame origin suppressed, it was still unimaginable, and irreversible.

“I’ll hold it back. Clear your mind of all distracting thoughts and use the Five Elemental Divine Fire to strip the Starfire Fire Spirit away. Maybe there’s still a sliver of hope.”

Red Lotus said in a deep voice. This was the only chance Jiang Chen had to escape.

“It’s the only way out, but if I escape, you’ll be completely devoured by the starfire, won’t you? Do you think I, Jiang Chen, am someone who clings to life and fears death?”

Jiang Chen said coldly. Trading Red Lotus’s life for his own was something Jiang Chen could not do.

“But this is the only chance! Otherwise we’ll both die. You can’t act on impulse.”

Red Lotus shouted in a deep voice.

“Impossible!”

Jiang Chen’s stubbornness filled Red Lotus’s heart with helplessness, and with emotion.

“If you die, how will the Craftsman God’s great vengeance be avenged? So you must live.”

“Compared to you, the Craftsman God’s great vengeance is insignificant. Even if the Craftsman God were here, I don’t think he would ever let me do that.”

Jiang Chen said stubbornly.

“You idiot, you madman. You’re courting your own death.”

Red Lotus cursed angrily. Jiang Chen clearly wanted to advance and retreat together with her, but the situation simply did not allow it. Of the two of them, only Jiang Chen had a sliver of hope of escaping. She was certain to die!

“So what if I die? Asking me to give up on you is simply impossible.”

Jiang Chen said with a faint smile. At this moment, he held on with all his strength and kept searching for an opening for the Karmic Fire of the Red Lotus. The Five Elemental Divine Fire could not play a decisive role at this time, but it could slow down the Starfire Fire Spirit’s devouring.

But for Red Lotus, no matter how much she and Jiang Chen struggled, it was nothing more than a slow death.

“Why go to such lengths!”

Red Lotus said with a bitter smile. He was loyal and true. He was indeed fit for great responsibility. The Craftsman God’s choice back then had not been wrong. He was more suited than anyone to carry on the Craftsman God’s inheritance.

At this moment, Jiang Chen and Red Lotus joined forces against the Starfire Fire Spirit, but their hopes were growing slimmer and slimmer…
