The Immortal Legacy: Black Mists Demon ( Book 1)

Ash Ice Flames, Purple Night Flame

"BOOM BOOM"

The earth barrier and the flood waves continue to clash head-on, shaking the battlefield to one side. Six circular pillars of earth walls shot up to a height of thirty meters behind the earth wall dragon barrier, towering the walls with a distant height of five Meters. On top of these pillars of circular walls were four men and two women that did lighting fast-changing hand signs. With a loud cry, they extended their hands forward:

"Ice cry"

"Ice lotus"

A sudden chill blasted across the fields as a howling cry sounded out with the blossoming of an ice lotus on the surface of the raging waves. The instant this ice lotus blossomed, the waves started to freeze inch by inch. The temperature in the area started to fall at an increasing rate. Persons could practically see their breaths as their aura went stiff and the Qi in the surrounding area went into chaos.

Within a matter of minutes, the sky flood waves were frozen in place and a bone-chilling air was swiftly spreading across the front lines. Within the waves of ice, one could see dead bodies frozen in place with their eyes open wide with fear painted in their pupils. The ice lotus then started to rotate on top of the waves at an incredible speed. As it did, the ice waves started to crumble and fall apart. The falling chunks of falling ice then started to turn into dozens of ice lotuses which also started to rotate at an incredible speed.

The six ice mages then extended their hands forward once more, as a blue beam of chilling light shot out and covered the rotating lotus flowers. The minute it did the Lotus flowers suddenly melted like butter against hot knives. Within the blue light was a bone-chilling blue liquid that seemed to be freezing at an astonishing degree. After a couple of seconds, the blue liquid then turned into blue flames that roared across the fields ruthlessly. These blue flames weren't hot but cold, cold to a point of burning the flash and turning the bones into ash. Anywhere the freezing flames went, it would leave ashes in its wake. There were no miserable screams or moans, only silent screams of statues turning into ashes.

"....... "

"I-It's the ash ice flames..."

No one knew who uttered these words. As the sky empire's army recognized the chilling flames, their hearts instantly when into chaos, the fear they felt outweighed the feeling of bravado that they had at the beginning of the battle. A battle they were fully confident in wining. Never did they expect that they would meet up on the "ash ice flames" in this battle for lands. The Green Field Empire was a small empire with little lands when compared to the other empires. To some, they were nothing in their eyes, an empire not even worth mentioning; but who would've thought that this little backwater empire possessed such a high level of formidable technique.

The "Ash ice flames" were a rank five magical skill feather known as soul skill which requires six ice mages to activate. Due to its large Qi consumption rate, when activated, the casters will have to keep consuming energy replenishing pills to keep their Qi at a steady level as to continue supporting the Ash ice flames.

If a Practitioner was powerful enough, he could fully activate the powers of the "Ash ice flames" but such level of power and mental control would require one to be at least at the Saint General stage. If not, then the freezing Qi of the "Ash ice flames" would freeze the veins and Qi passageways, thus destroying them beyond repair. As a result of this, the practitioner who forcefully activated the soul skill would be rendered unable to practice cultivation for the rest of their lives, being crippled. On the continent of Sara, cultivators absorb the Qi located between heaven and earth as a means of practicing cultivation.

Before a person reaches the first level of Qi absorption, they must first condense and create their very own Qi Realm. Once the Qi realm is created, it would serve the purpose of storing the absorbed Qi between heaven and earth. Due to special bloodline or chance, a person’s Qi realm will take on elemental properties such as Wind, Fire, Earth, Ice, Water, and Nature, Whether the realm is strong or weak will depend on the person's abilities in creating his/her realm

Once a person condenses his/her Qi Realm, he/she is considered as a Saint and is known as a level 1 saint. There are a total of 9 levels within each category of Sainthood, each level stronger than the first and harder to a breakthrough than the previous. Once a person reaches the ninth level and makes a breakthrough, they will advance to Earth saint level 1. After the levels of Saints and earth saints, five other levels are considered as earth shaking and once a practitioner reaches these levels, they are considered as real elites. These stages are known as, soul saint, Saint General, Saint king, Saint emperor, spirit creation, making it a total of seven saint levels.

The temperature continued to drop at an increasing rate as the Ash ice flames raged none stop. Countless lives were annihilated by these bone-chilling flames. The Sky Empire's army continued to retreat as the flames rushed forward. Suddenly.

"BOOM"

As a raging heat pushed against the chilling aura of the "Ash ice flames", a purple flame instantly came into being. Flame auras ruthlessly spread out across the battlefields as the purple flames shot into the sky, swirling like a whirlwind. At the center of this whirlwind were six images standing in a circle. They then extended their hand, flashing a sign which created a glowing purple light that shot out to create a purple screen shield in front of the Sky army with a roar.

"Purple crystal shield"

"Purple Night Flame"

The swirling whirlwind of purple flames burst apart and turned into a sea of raging flames that shot straight for the Ash ice flames. The heat of the purple flames, instantly turned the ground into molten lava as it raced across the battlefields, bringing with it an aura of death. The six ice images then flicked their fingers causing the Ash ice flames to surge violently and charge forward. In the blink of an eye, the two flames collided. One cold to the bone and could turn a person into Ash within an instant; the other as hot as the flames of the underworld and could burn the very earth itself.

"PING......BOOM"

An ear-piercing sound followed by a loud explosion reverberated across the front lines. As it did, an earth-shattering aura spread outwards to cover an area of four hundred meters in all directions. This aura was both hot and cold at the same time as if Yin and Yan were fighting to exist in the world. Between the two soul flames, ripples could be seen as the air in the surrounding area collapsed in on itself. As the two flame seas tried to forcefully devour each other, shockwaves blasted outwards frantically as the ground molded and froze at the same time. The Qi in the area was thrown into chaos as Sparks of ice and flame flew in all directions, colliding into both the Dragon Earth Barrier and the Purple Crystal Shield.

"BANG"

The two shields quivered none stop as the sparks of flames and ice made impacts on their surfaces creating a sound equivalent to that of thunder. The ground shook frantically as cracks could be seen spreading across the shields as if they would collapse at any given moment. Due to the heavy shock waves, ripples of energies, and the chaotic aura of fire and ice, both armies coughed up mouth fulls of fresh blood. Some even fell unconscious due to their already depleted Qi. The Qi realms of others had either been rendered useless, unstable, or destroyed.

"....."

"Not good. This is not looking good"

Stated one of the six ice images on top of the six pillars of the wall, they were currently looking at the Warriors behind them and their sorry conditions but to no avail.

"Earth mages, let us down onto the battlefield, medical units are on the way."

As the voice sounded out, the Warriors looked up at the pillars of earth walls to see a beautiful young lady looking right back at them. Her expression was one of worry and concern for her people. In her eyes, one could see clear will power and unmatched determination. As her soft pink lips parted

 "Never show fear to the enemy. Will power and determination are the keys to success. Live and fight for what you care about in this world".

As her voice fell, the pale faces of the Green Field Empire's army once again regained the will power to fight once more. They didn't know if it was her beauty, confidence, or will power that made them strong once more, but what it was; they didn't care.

"My fellow warriors, it's been a pleasure working with all of you. The past was a joyous one. If it is the will of the Heavens, we shall meet again in the next life, but fight for your homelands. Fight for your families and friends so that they can live to see another day" stated one of the male mages.

Out of the six ice mages, his cultivation base was the strongest, being at the mage saint general level. As his wording fell, everyone on the battlefield instantly understands what they were about to do. Some of the warriors stood up and gave them a deep look, some on the verge of crying but didn't as their respects for the six grow stronger. Roaring sounds of various voices could be heard billowing up to the Heavens

"We will fight for our friends and families, even if it means that we will be going to our graves, we will not let seniors down."

The shouts of the Green Field army vibrated out and drew the attention of the Sky Empire's army, who looked somewhat in a better condition than the Green Field army.

The earth mages nodded as they started to lower the six ice mages over the earth barrier, the young female and the mage general gave them one last meaningful smile for they knew that this was their last time in the world, they also took one last look at each other and in the direction that their general was fighting in. With a long sigh, they descended to the ground.

A sigh also came from the fire mages of the Sky Empire, for they too well understand the intentions of the ice mages to fight to their deaths. So they came to the unshakable conclusion that they would do the same if it meant ensuring victory. The two flames battled back and forth none stop, sending out shock waves and ripples throughout the battlefield. The ground also started to break apart due to the colliding forces of the two sea flames.

In the skies above, the clouds ripped and the image of a man suddenly appeared looking down on the battlefield. No one could see this person, nor could they feel his presence. His hands were folded behind his back as he shook his head at the horrible sight before eyes. His voice was as calm as the flowing rivers of time, his aura was one of profundity and ancientness that swept over the front lines, but sadly no one could hear his words "the Heavens of Lee is truly a wicked one." He sighed. With these final words, he vanishes without a trace.

The six ice mages raised their hands and the Ash ice flame sea shot up within the millisecond it took to bat an eye. This attracted the attention of the fire mages, who, with changing hand signs, sent the purple night flame sea back at them at high speed.

"Fellow warriors, it's been a pleasurable service by your side" declared one of the fire mages as he watches the Ash ice flames shoot into the skies and the purple night flame returning to their sides. The instant the purple night flame returned, the six bodies of the fire mages started to glow with a purple color. As this happened, the purple flames shot up to the heavens, swirling at an incredible speed. As it did, it formed a purple whirlwind of flames with the six mages at its center.

With a hiss, the Ash ice flames suddenly stopped midair as the six ice mages turned into a beam of blue light that shot off into the sea of ice flames. The minute they reached the center of the chilling flames, their hands stabbed outwards. Following the stab of their hands, the sea of chilling flames started to rotate at an unmatched peace. As this happened, the flame sea transformed into a gigantic rotating lotus flower made up purely of freezing ice.
