Chapter 2556: The Scarlet Emperor (2/2)
The Rain Abbess led the old man to where Jian Chen was. She said, “Scarlet Emperor, use your Heaven-scorching Furnace to refine his soul. Be careful not to harm him,” the Rain Abbess said coldly, without any emotions at all. It seemed more like an order.
The Scarlet Emperor was a figure only cultivators with high status on the Delight Plane could know because he was a peak expert, as well as one of the four ancestors of the Cloudsurge Empire. He grasped the Laws of Fire.
The Scarlet Emperor’s old eyes shone with a fiery light as he carefully studied Jian Chen, who lay in the wooden tub. He was slightly curious, “Abbess, you brought me over from billions of kilometres away just for him?”
Although he was also one of the ancestors of the Cloudsurge Empire, the Scarlet Emperor clearly seemed rather restrained before the Rain Abbess.
The Rain Abbess nodded. “Scarlet Emperor, I’ll leave it up to you.” With that, the Rain Abbess turned around and left. She sat down beside the small pond, no longer paying attention to Jian Chen’s matters.
The Scarlet Emperor studied Jian Chen as his doubts deepened. He thought to himself, “Strange. Who is this kid? His cultivation is so low. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him before, nor have I heard the Rain Abbess mention him before. And I had thought it would be something severe for the Rain Abbess to travel so far to fetch me. It’s all for this person in the end?”
“Hmm?” Suddenly, the Scarlet Emperor was surprised. His eyes shone, as if two flames leapt around in there. He stared right at Jian Chen’s forehead.
“I- it’s actually the soul of the Spatial Insect Emperor.” The Scarlet Emperor was stern. He knew about the origins of the Spatial Insect Emperor extremely well. If it were still at peak condition, even he would be forced to flee if he encountered it. He would not be its opponent.
However, the Spatial Insect Emperor had been slain by the Rain Abbess. Its body was destroyed, and it was reduced to a soul used to guard the forbidden grounds.
Now that he had discovered the Spatial Insect Emperor in Jian Chen’s soul, the Scarlet Emperor naturally understood what it all meant.
“The Abbess actually wants to give the Spatial Insect Emperor to this kid?” The Scarlet Emperor was astounded. He stared at Jian Chen for a while before not saying anything else. With a flip of his hand, a flaming cauldron appeared out of nowhere.
The Heaven-scorching Furnace was the Scarlet Emperor’s most precious item. It was a high quality god artifact, but it was one that ranked towards the bottom among high quality god artifacts.
Jian Chen was sucked into the Heaven-scorching Furnace along with the wooden tub. Immediately, the cauldron surged with flames. Golden fires surrounded it. It seemed extremely terrifying, as if it could burn through space, but it did not give off any heat at all.
The moment the flames lit up around him, Jian Chen immediately sensed faint, golden flames appeared in his sea of consciousness. The flames were extremely terrifying, where even just a strand was devastating.
Jian Chen did not doubt that if even a sliver of it erupted, it would lead to devastating injuries to him.
“The flames have turned faint golden. Just how deep of a comprehension of the Laws of Fire are needed to make the flame’s color change?” Jian Chen was secretly amazed. Most of the flames he had seen had been milky-white. This was the first time he had seen golden flames.
