The flames created a space without the black worms again. Mo Fan was so worn out that he was struggling to lift his hand. His energy had depleted and his mind had reached its limit.
The worms filled up the space again in no time. They soon lunged at Mo Fan and tore at him with their sharp teeth.
Even his demon flesh could not avoid being torn by so many worms at the same time. The worms started tearing through Mo Fan's skin. Some smaller worms even dug into Mo Fan's body.
Mo Fan no longer felt any pain. He slowly fell into the world of darkness as the army of worms devoured him.
He had indeed fought until the very last moment, except he still wanted to hug Xinxia again.
When Mo Fan was lying in the ocean of worms, a sad voice appeared in his mind.
Mo Fan slowly lifted his heavy eyelids and saw a bright light. It was blinding his eyes a little, but it felt extremely warm.
”Is this...” Mo Fan murmured. As he recovered consciousness, he realized that the shadow of the Flame Belle Empress had left him.
The thing ahead was a slender figure engulfed in flames. As Mo Fan realized what it was, the figure soared up above him. Mo Fan saw the Flame Belle Empress' body disintegrating under the blinding light!
”Little Flame Belle, no, no, don't do it, don't...” Mo Fan realized what Little Flame Belle was trying to do, and screamed at the top of his lungs.
Flame Belle Empress rose to the highest spot. A great tide of Calamity Fire surged across the darkness the moment her body disintegrated completely!
The flames spread out wildly, like a howling tide, burning the black worms scattered in the surroundings to ashes before the flames even touched them...
Mo Fan clearly remembered the Fire Calamity that he had gone through at the North Burning Valley. It had set the entire place on fire, driving every creature that did not belong to the fire out. It indeed felt like a great calamity that the Heavens had brought to Earth.
Seeing how Little Flame Belle was summoning the Calamity Fire, Mo Fan finally realized the Calamity Fire did not originate from the Heavens nor the Earth. It did not appear out of nowhere, but it was Little Flame Belle's life...
Little Flame Belle was burning her life!
Mo Fan could not move even a single finger. He lifted his gaze and saw Little Flame Belle burning her life force. His eyes kept moving, yet not a single tear was shed.
His sorrow was so strong that he could not shed a single tear. The huge Calamity Fire turned from a ring of flames into an unstoppable fire surging across the dark space. Tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, billions of black worms were burned to ashes. Mo Fan was no longer surrounded by darkness and worms, but the Calamity Fire that had set Mo Fan's heart on fire, a Fire Calamity that Little Flame Belle had transformed into by sacrificing her life!
Little Flame Belle turned into flames dancing wildly across the place before she could bid him farewell. The whisper of flames scattered across the place elegantly after wiping out the black worms. They were like stars in a night sky, yet they had filled Mo Fan's heart with coldness and grief.

Rain was still pouring down on the Citadel of Athens, washing away the blood, the filth, and the remains, yet it could not wash away the greed and filth that were imprinted in the hearts of the authorities.
The Dark Execution Ground had disappeared entirely, but there was still a pool of water where the gate initially was...
No one dared to get any closer. Only Pang Lai, Song Qiming, and the others were nearby. They were still staring at the Gate of Hell that had closed up long ago in disbelief.
Suddenly, the ground turned scorching hot. A spectacular pillar of flame burst out of the black pool. The flames soared into the sky, evaporated the raindrops and split the stormy clouds in half...
The light shone upon the Citadel of Athens, bringing warmth to the drenched city!
”Is this...” Song Qiming was astounded. He stared at the flames that had appeared out of nowhere in disbelief.
The flames lasted for some time, their warm light shining down upon the area within a hundred kilometers, like a sacred ritual.
Finally, Song Qiming and Pang Lai both saw two feeble figures being sent out by the fiery pillar. It was like they had ridden the current of the flames from another plane back to this world!
”It's Mo Fan and Xinxia!” Song Qiming was the first to react.
Pang Lai was excited, and in utter disbelief, too.
Didn't they already fall into the darkness? How was it possible for them to make their way back? Where did this abnormal pillar of flames come from? It was countless times purer and stronger than the flames that Mo Fan normally had!
Pang Lai and Song Qiming had countless questions, but they had to save the two first.
Mo Fan was carrying Ye Xinxia. He landed on the ground under Song Qiming and Pang Lai's protection.
The fiery pillar slowly dissipated as soon as the two landed safely on the ground, as if it was there to escort them. The place returned to calm gradually.
