“Now we can start killing it.”

Nine Nether Ice Flame appeared once more, speaking calmly.

Shen Mo clicked his tongue. “How do we kill it?”

Nine Nether Ice Flame replied, “Just hit it directly—aim for the core and strike it to death.”

After saying this, it formed a hand shape pointing at the core of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame.

Shen Mo looked puzzled but said, “Alright.”

With his powerful martial techniques, hitting a fixed target like the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame would be simple.

“Old fellow, bear with it. Don’t resist,”

Nine Nether Ice Flame whispered.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame’s light flickered several times, signaling acknowledgment.

Shen Mo immediately activated his Warrior Chief Dharma Manifestation, the dual-colored eternal flames swirling as he unleashed the Great Wild Star Fall.

Bang!

The dual-colored eternal flame giant spear struck down.

The flame’s glow dimmed slightly but brightened again after a moment.

Nine Nether Ice Flame said, “Keep going, keep going. Its energy is very abundant now. This will take a long time.”

Shen Mo nodded slightly and continued releasing powerful martial techniques.

His blood energy and spirit power were abundant, requiring no pause for recovery.

Still, he hadn’t expected that, even though the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame’s remaining sanity controlled it from counterattacking, it would take him an entire day to strike this fixed target!

After a whole day,

the brightness of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame finally dropped to its lowest.

Shen Mo exhaled deeply, smiling wryly.

For the first time, he felt like a laborer.

However, when he looked at the flame, his smile grew.

The hard work was worthwhile.

Now, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame was like a dying candle in the wind, seeming to flicker out even with the slightest breeze.

Even Shen Mo’s hurried footsteps could snuff out this remaining spark.

Nine Nether Ice Flame said seriously, “You are Nirvana Realm. This next step depends on you.”

Shen Mo rolled his eyes. “Which step before didn’t depend on me?”

Nine Nether Ice Flame smiled awkwardly. “This one is the most important.”

“Soon, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame will extinguish, leaving only a seed of fire.”

“You must guide the flame seed into the Divine Palace, nurturing it with your vast Nirvana Realm blood energy.”

“This process will be painful.”

Nine Nether Ice Flame coughed lightly. “Because you have to swallow it.”

Shen Mo nodded slightly.

Swallowing an eternal flame was nothing new to him.

Back in Qingxuan Sect’s Qingxuan Cave, he had done the same with the Red Lotus Flame.

A gust of wind blew.

The Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame completely vanished.

Only an unremarkable small stone—the fire seed—remained in its place.

Normally, in the next cycle, the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Flame would need to absorb thousands or even tens of thousands of years of heavenly thunder to reignite.

But now, Shen Mo had to speed this process up by countless times.

He stepped forward and picked up the fire seed.

His fingers immediately felt intense burning pain.

Far more painful than when he first touched the Red Lotus Flame.

However, Shen Mo had endured similar pain many times.

Besides, Nine Nether Ice Flame now maintained its Dharma Manifestation for eight hours a day. Such continual pain was even more tormenting.

When pain gradually becomes normal, one grows accustomed to it.

Shen Mo took a deep breath and swallowed the fire seed.

His first reaction was like drinking hot water.

But the heat surged instantly.

In the blink of an eye, his esophagus, stomach, and entire chest felt as if they were on fire
