Furthermore, it was different from the Mystic Flame that Yang Dingtian witnessed previously. This flame didn't give off any sense of vitality, and there wasn't any spirituality either.

 The Mirage Void Flame that Yan Bieqin consumed was filled with vitality.

 But this flame looked like it didn't have any vitality at all. Furthermore, no heat felt from it, as well. It was even weaker than the coal-seam fire that Yang Dingtian used to forge his youngling sword.

 If it didn't have any vitality, then it wasn't a Mystic Flame. If this wasn't a Mystic Flame, what exactly was this flame?

 It didn't matter what flame this was as Yang Dingtian wasn't going to give up on this final hope.

 Even though the flame didn't seem to have any vitality, Yang Dingtian would know if it were a Mystic Flame as soon as he poured his mystic qi and divine senses inside. If it were a Mystic Flame, it would immediately respond.

 Yang Dingtian held his breath and mixed his divine senses into his mystic qi before he slowly approached the flame.

 Yang Dingtian witnessed how the Mirage Void Flame quickly leaned over when there was mystic qi in the vicinity.

 But this flame in front of him didn't have any reaction.

 Yang Dingtian's mystic qi and divine senses were still getting closer.

 Ten inches.

 Eight inches.

 Five inches.

 Three inches.

 One inch.

 Yang Dingtian nearly suffocated.

 He wished with all his heart that this flame was a Mystic Flame even though he knew that such a possibility was near impossible.

 But this was truly his final hope!

 “I will let the heavens decide everything! It doesn't matter if it were a Mystic Flame or not, I shall accept my fate.” Yang Dingtian said in his heart before allowing his mystic qi to rush in.

 There was no response.

 One second…

 Two seconds…

 Three seconds…

 Half a minute had passed.

 The flame still didn't respond. Yang Dingtian's divine senses and mystic qi felt as though it had entered a normal flame or a wooden block.

 Yang Dingtian's heart and body were getting increasingly colder.

 As expected, a miracle didn't happen.

 Finally, all the cold and disappointment turned into a sigh.

 Why was it like this? How did it become like this?

 Yang Dingtian practically didn't cry before, and he didn't cry now either. He wasn't going to cry because of a setback, but in reality, he really wanted to cry right now. It wasn't because of his emotions but for his frustrations.

 He had done a lot of things and went through endless hardships to reach his objective.

 Right now, the Mystic Flame was the most important thing to him, and he was about to fail.

 Could it be that he had used up all his luck?

 This setback was truly the greatest setback Yang Dingtian had experienced.

 He wasn't going to cry, but he truly wanted to.

 “Wuu! Wuu…”

 Suddenly, Yang Dingtian heard a sorrowful sobbing sound.

 “But I am not crying?” Yang Dingtian was stunned.

 Could it be that his heart wanted to cry so much that it produced an illusion?

 But immediately after, the sobbing sound got louder, stranger, and scarier.

 Subsequently, the flame started to roam around.

 This space wasn't big at all, so the flame was roaming around very carefully and seriously.

 It would stop after shifting for a few inches to sense the surroundings before it shifted a few inches again.

 As it was moving, it sobbed at the same time.

 The sobbing sound was getting louder and sharper. It felt as though there were millions of people wailing by Yang Dingtian's ear.

 This feeling had caused him to tremble.

 In the end, the sobbing sound got even more bizarre. It didn't just disrupt a person's mind, it felt as though it even tried to seize the soul. It seemingly tried to dig into the depths of the spirit and to disperse the soul.

 At this moment, the flame had drifted to Dongfang Bingling's side. It was sobbing and getting closer to Dongfang Bingling as though it was going to smell her presence.

 When it got close to Dongfang Bingling, the flame suddenly danced.

 Yang Dingtian was stunned. Could this flame have fancied Dongfang Bingling? But she already devoured a Mystic Flame.

 Moreover, Yang Dingtian had a strange and vague feeling that the flame was searching for something on its own accord. It had a very serious attitude and was also very proud.

 Could it really be a Mystic Flame?

 Just as Yang Dingtian had that thought, the flame suddenly flew in front of Yang Dingtian and was just a few inches from his eye.

 Immediately after, the flame abruptly changed into a form of sword and plunged into Yang Dingtian's eye.

 Yang Dingtian got a shock and instinctively took a step back.

 Because when the flame was extremely close to Yang Dingtian, he could clearly see that there were countless human figures inside the flame.

 All of the figures were struggling with agony and howling in grief and pain. It felt as though they were being tormented in the purgatory.

 The horrifying sobbing sound was actually the wailings of the countless people inside the flame. Furthermore, Yang Dingtian was appalled when he realized that the flame didn't have a huge change. But the human faces on the surface of the flame were increasing and getting more crowded until it was completely packed. The nine inches of flame was overflowing with countless distorted faces, and it was still increasing to tens of thousands.

 In the end, when there was no more space for the faces to fit in, the faces started to transform. It started with ten, a few dozens then a few hundreds of faces actually shared a single face. Each face was rapidly transforming.

 Finally, the countless number of faces formed a large face. The entire nine inches of the flame had formed a face, a sinister and agonizing face.

 Furthermore, this face was also constantly transforming. For a moment, it would be a human face, then it would be a Foxman's face, then the Wolfman's face.

 At this moment, Yang Dingtian had a feeling that this was perhaps the true Million Spirit Demon Flame. So perhaps, this Mystic Flame was different from Dongfang Bingling's Mystic Flame, this might be a Monarch Flame!

 But, it wasn't logical. The Mystic Flame that Yan Bieqin devoured could be considered a Mirage Void Flame, but the Mystic Flame that Dongfang Bingling absorbed was definitely a demon flame. There was no reason for two false flames to appear.

 But what exactly was this bizarre flame in front of Yang Dingtian? It was so similar to the Million Spirit Demon Flame.

 But even if it were the Million Spirit Demon Flame, Yang Dingtian wasn't able to do anything to it. Because when he poured his mystic qi and divine senses inside, it was the same as mud sinking into the sea as there was no reaction.

 Moreover, the sobbing sound was getting louder at Yang Dingtian's ear, and it was getting increasingly horrific. Previously, it had merely entered the ear, but now, it was entirely inside the soul.

 It was an overwhelming mental bombardment, and Yang Dingtian was about to collapse.

 Countless sinister faces were entering his eyes and going into his mind.

 The endless sobbing voice was entering his ears and going into his divine senses.

 Yang Dingtian felt that his mind was going to explode, so were the blood vessels in his entire body.

 And at this moment, the flame with the sinister face was getting closer and closer to Yang Dingtian.

 In the end, there was a ‘boom' sound.

 The flame had suddenly exploded and shattered into countless faces.

 In a split second, the narrow space was filled with flaming faces.

 It wasn't only so. The number of faces was increasing after the explosion. There were so many flaming faces that it started to spread into the 1,000-meter unfreezing pool above.

 Suddenly, the 1,000-meter unfreezing pool started to evaporate meter by meter.

 The entire space was flooded with countless flaming faces.

 At last, the entire bottom of the central lake was filled with many faces that were formed by flames. Every single face was sinister; every single face was warping with pain; every single face was wailing.

 No one witnessed this horrific scene. If someone were to see it, they would probably remember this horrific and shocking scene for their entire life.

 Each face was less than two inches in size, but it had covered 100 miles at the bottom of the lake. Furthermore, there were layers upon layers, and it was simply endless.

 Who would believe that all the flaming faces were actually split out from a nine-inch flame?

 The Million Spirit Demon Flame was as the name implied as there were a million demon flames.

 Using the East Parting Grassland as a fire attribute energy, using millions of grieving souls on the Burial Land as spirits. After thousands of years, the overbearing Million Spirit Demon Flame was finally born.

 But Yang Dingtian wasn't able to see this scene at all. The flames enveloped his entire body, and his mind was filled with hundreds of thousands of terrifying scenes, there were so many scenes that his mind wasn't able to fit anything else.

 The Million Spirit Demon Flame had split up and overflowed. It finally stopped when the entire central lake was filled up.

 Immediately after, the first grieving spirit demon flame turned into a stream of light and was buried into Yang Dingtian's body.

 Then the second one, the third one, the fourth one, the fifth, the sixth, and so on.

 Countless grieving spirit demon flames were rushing to Yang Dingtian's body at an insane pace.

 Yang Dingtian's body looked as though it was burning with fire as his body was thoroughly red and his clothes had turned into ashes.

 Right now, he and Dongfang Bingling were facing each other with naked bodies. But both of them were unconscious.

 It looked like countless meteors and stars were gathering into Yang Dingtian's body.

 In just a few minutes, a million grieving spirit demon flames had all entered Yang Dingtian's body.

 There was a question now. If the Million Spirit Demon Flame had entered Yang Dingtian's body, what did Dongfang Bingling devour?

 This was a question that no one would be able to answer because no one devoured the Million Spirit Demon Flame before.

 Without a doubt, the flame that entered Yang Dingtian's body was the true Million Spirit Demon Flame, a pure fire attribute demon flame.

 The flame that Dongfang Bingling absorbed was also a Mystic Flame, but it wasn't formed with the East Parting Grassland's fire attribute energy. It was a Mystic Flame that was formed by the yin qi of the one million malicious spirits. Her flame had nothing to do with fire attribute as it was entirely the ice attribute, and it was the world's rarest ice attribute Mystic Flame.

 If someone knew that Dongfang Bingling obtained an ice attribute Mystic Flame, the entire world would go crazy.

 As such, the East Parting Grassland didn't just have one Mystic Flame, it had two. One was yin, and the other was yang. It was the reason why the Yin Yang Mountain that emerged from the lake was half fire and half ice.

 Dongfang Bingling had obtained a yin flame while Yang Dingtian obtained the Mystic Flame that was formed by the yang flame!
