Chapter 881
The powerful figure, who was actually a candle demon, immediately shook his head: "No, that's not it."
"The images of the Candle Demon creatures summoned by the Sequence Scroll that I saw were not in human form."
"It was like a black candle flame, or rather, a black ghost."
"The reason I maintain my human form is because the way I obtained this avatar was quite mysterious, so I don't fully master the Candle Demon Clan avatar."
"I can barely use the abilities of the Candle Demon Clan, but the effects are very limited. Furthermore, I cannot fully switch into the form of the Candle Demon Clan avatar, and I lose my self-awareness when using the abilities of the Candle Demon Clan..."
Hearing him say that, Jiang Yi immediately speculated: "Is it because Butu helped you that your avatar is incomplete?"
The man nodded: "I guess so."
"However, without Butu's help, I probably wouldn't even have been able to barely master the abilities of the Candle Demon Clan. So, even though the avatar I've mastered isn't complete, it's still more than I could ask for."
It's clear that this ability to transform is what has allowed this guy to gain considerable benefits in the professional league.
Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, then asked:
"Then tell me in detail, what exactly is the strength of the Candle Demon creature summoned by the Sequence Scroll? And how did Butu help you deal with that creature?"
Seeing that Jiang Yi wasn't seeking revenge but simply asking some questions, this avatar of a powerful figure breathed a sigh of relief.
He answered Jiang Yi's questions very cooperatively.
"The Candle Demon creatures summoned by the Sequence Scroll are much stronger than the ones I just demonstrated."
"The move I just demonstrated is called the Cave of Ghost Fire. When the Candle Ghost Clan creatures demonstrate it, they use the beast form of the Candle Ghost Clan, which is a black ghost shadow from which two black flames emerge."
"When the genuine black flame locks onto a target, it will directly rush into the target's eye."
"In other words, two flames will ignite in the target's eyes, and then the target will lose consciousness and be sucked into the black hole."
"During my battle with the Candle Demon Clan, my eyes were invaded by ghost fire."
"I lost consciousness immediately and was almost sucked into the black hole."
"According to what Butu later told me, if I had been swallowed by the black hole at that time, all my life force would have been instantly drained, and I would have become fuel for the life flame of the Candle Demon Clan..."
"Later, the castrated version of the Ghost Fire Cave that I mastered, although not as powerful as the one used by the Candle Ghost Clan, basically meant that any creature sucked into the black hole would have no chance of survival."
“At least…” he said, glancing at Jiang Yi, his tone complicated, “At least before you, there were no exceptions.”
Jiang Yi nodded slightly, now understanding why Keguke and the others were so nervous when he was targeted.
So, the authentic Ghost Fire Cave can actually devour the life force of living beings to nourish that ball of life fire.
Ten thousand years later, the Candle Demon also possessed a flame of life, which he seemed to cherish greatly.
Even that flame of life is still a highly precious top-tier resource among the other powerful beings of the myriad races.
From this perspective, that flame of life also devoured a great deal of life.
That guy, Zhu Gui, is really something else. I heard that when he was young, he even tried to comprehend the rules of obliteration, but he failed.
At the time, Jiang Yi did not know what the so-called "attempt to comprehend and obliterate the rules" meant.
But when he also began to grasp the rules of obliteration, he deeply realized—
This kind of "delusion" is something that the vast majority of people cannot do.
The very existence of the rules of obliteration is extremely terrifying.
Many people only experience it once, and then they probably will never dare to touch the special roulette wheel again in their lifetime.
But to truly understand the rules of obliteration, it's not something that can be achieved in one or two experiences.
There was also the giant forbidden wheel of the Nine-Story Pagoda, which only the Candle Demon rushed up to try and forcibly draw.
That guy is incredibly brave!
Jiang Yi felt a surge of emotion, while at the same time listening to this big shot who controlled the Candle Ghost Clan's incarnation talk about some of the Candle Ghost Clan's methods.
They all share a similar style—devouring life.
Furthermore, the process of devouring life force is quite bizarre.
Finally, when asked how Butu helped him, this self-proclaimed big shot hesitated.
"I'm not sure if the claims about Butu helping me are true."
"After all, at that time, I was already controlled by the will-o'-the-wisp and had lost consciousness."
"The situation at the time was also based on Butu's description."
"According to him, he used divination to deduce a special tool to restrain the Candle Demon Clan, and then used that special tool to annihilate the Candle Demon Clan."
"He didn't tell me what kind of special prop it was."
"However, when I regained consciousness, I saw that the ghostly figure seemed to be covered in some kind of translucent, viscous liquid, which made the black flame within the ghostly figure look extremely weak and soon became lifeless..."
"And so, with Butu's help, I managed to kill the Candle Demon creature."
He sighed softly as he said this.
Perhaps to lessen Jiang Yi's murderous intent towards him, he added the following:
"Actually, among the professional league avatars present just now, besides me, the one with the Mist Serpent avatar also owes Butu a favor."
"Those who are skilled in divination and fortune-telling have always had a great advantage in developing their network of contacts."
