Chapter 403: Chapter 404 You and I Each Have a Bright Future!

The old man listened, and the black aura on his body calmed slightly!

“There is actually such a flame, show it to me!”

Yang Yan naturally possessed the immortal flame!

He raised his arm, extending his index finger.

A wisp of crimson flame appeared at his fingertip, rising slowly!

This flame was exceptionally powerful!

As it burned, it even burned a hole in the void!

Red Flames!

The flame contained within Yang Yan’s Red Flame Thunderflow Emperor Body was also one of the elements that made up his Emperor Body cells!

When the flame fully ignited, the light was dazzling.

It illuminated the entire room, even the dark space behind Yang Yan became bright as day!

The void twisted because of it, and the room’s temperature rose rapidly.

“Such a scorching temperature, such a warm flame!” The old man felt the flame’s heat and smiled.

The black aura steaming from his body calmed significantly!

“This flame’s temperature is very much like the flame from my oil lamp in the past!

Very good!

If it is truly immortal, I won’t need to search for lamp oil or think about lighting the oil lamp anymore!

Once I place it into my oil lamp, everything will be set!

I wouldn’t have to be confined here; I could finally leave,” the old man exclaimed excitedly.

“You are indeed remarkable. Once I get out, I will surely repay you well!

Come!

Give me the flame so that I may light the oil lamp!”

As he spoke and approached, his expression slightly changed before he could get within a few steps!

Flames actually appeared on his body!

“What a terrifying temperature; just approaching it burned my physique!” The old man said gravely.

“How is your body able to withstand such high temperatures?”

He curiously asked Yang Yan.

“*My physique is unique, which enables me to withstand such a flame!*” Yang Yan responded casually.

*His body cells mostly consisted of Red Flames and Thunder,* *why would he worry about the high temperature of flames harming him!*

*This matter he naturally didn’t need to explain to the old man!*

“If your body cannot withstand the heat, bring the oil lamp here.

I will place the flame inside,” Yang Yan said.

The old man, being a thought transformed into human form, could not possibly withstand the high temperature of Red Flames capable of transforming an Emperor Body!

But could that oil lamp withstand the high temperature of Red Flames?

Yang Yan was confident it absolutely could!

That oil lamp was a great treasure!

Perhaps comparable to an Emperor’s Weapon!

For just a thought to shape a strong being, possessing Emperor’s Power!

The original owner of such an existence must have been a Martial Artist who entered the Emperor Realm!

Very likely an ancient Great Emperor!

An object that could accompany an ancient Great Emperor couldn’t possibly be ordinary?

Moreover, this oil lamp held enough significance for even an ancient Great Emperor to possess an obsession over it.

The preciousness of this oil lamp could thus be imagined!

“Though on the surface, it appears dusty, unimpressive,” Yang Yan thought.

Viewed from an ordinary standpoint, that oil lamp on the stone table seemed indeed ordinary!

But he knew it was only ordinary on the surface!

Its inside was anything but ordinary!

“A pearl hidden under dust!” Yang Yan thought.

Now, everything he said, everything he did,

was all because his target was that oil lamp!

If the old man wanted to kill him, then he would give the old man a profound lesson!

To let him know the cost of wanting to kill him!

And his words, the old man nodded in agreement.

“You truly are a considerate good person, thinking of me in every aspect!” he praised.

“I genuinely don’t know how to thank you!

Wait a moment, I will retrieve the oil lamp.

Once the oil lamp is lit, I will go out with you!

By then, you will be my best friend, whatever you wish for, I will find for you to repay your kindness!”

Promising as such, the old man walked toward the stone table!

Not a word from the old man did Yang Yan believe!

The old man, in his eyes, was a psychologically twisted existence, capable of transforming into a complete malicious thought at any moment!

Anyone would be a target!

If Yang Yan believed such malicious words,

then the one who would die would certainly be Yang Yan!

“All right!” Yang Yan agreed calmly.

The old man reached the stone table, blowing away the dust covering the oil lamp.

“The oil lamp hasn’t been used in so long, look at all this dust!” The old man remarked with sentiment.

As the dust cleared, the appearance of the oil lamp was fully revealed!

Yang Yan saw the lamp, feeling slightly astonished!

This oil lamp as a whole was transparent like glass or crystal, emitting a white glow!

Exceptionally beautiful!

“A bit ostentatious!”

The person who refined this oil lamp should understand art!

“Once you have the flame, no more dust will settle upon you anymore!”

The old man smiled, gently cradling the oil lamp, bringing it to Yang Yan.

“Now, put the flame into it!” He happily gestured.

“All right!”

Yang Yan extended his index finger; the dreadful heat made the old man involuntarily lean back, his eyes squinting.

He looked at the burning Red Flames with a bit of fear!

At this moment, the corners of Yang Yan’s mouth curled up, and the flame on his fingertip separated, falling toward the oil lamp.

The crimson flame drifted down from the air, touching the lamp’s pedestal.

At that instant, the red flame burst forth, like fireworks blooming.

The thunder entwined within also spread forth at that moment.

Red Flame Thunder Flow!

The dazzling beams of flickering thunder almost blinded the old man’s eyes.

“What is happening!” the old man exclaimed in shock!

Simultaneously, thunder and flame burned through the void, igniting the old man’s body.

“Ah…” The old man screamed in agony, dropping the oil lamp from the pain.

In that crucial moment, the oil lamp vanished.

The room’s door also closed at that instant!

Yang Yan, holding the oil lamp, walked outward without looking back.

His pace was neither fast nor slow!

From the room behind him came a roaring voice.

“My oil lamp, my lamp pedestal!

Ah…”

Bang bang bang!

The now closed and decayed wooden door boomed with sound.

However, the old man did not manage to break through the wooden door.

Now, he was busy trying to extinguish the flames on his body, thinking of how to overcome the thunder as powerful as a heavenly tribulation!

Crackling!

Inside the room, lightning flashed continuously, striking the old man’s body.

“The last person who inquired stole my oil lamp’s wick!

You are even more ruthless!

Right in front of me, you schemed and robbed my oil lamp and pedestal!

To think I trusted you so much, wanting to achieve mutual benefit!

Yet you let me lose so utterly!

Don’t let me catch you, if I do, I’ll definitely kill you mercilessly…

Ah!!!”

The old man’s scream at the end no longer sounded human.

It was like a beast, roaring, bellowing in fury.

“*He has completely succumbed to darkness and become a malicious thought?*” Yang Yan pondered.

*Transforming from an obsession to a malicious thought still contained a trace of good in the obsession!*

*The old man could only be considered psychologically twisted!*

*And now, he had truly become a malicious thought, becoming a beast.*

“*It still shows that the Heart Realm was insufficient; what’s there to turn dark about?*

*I had already said, it’s a win-win!*

*You knew it was a win-win!*

*You didn’t want to kill, you wanted to light the oil lamp and gain the immortal flame!*

*I helped you light the oil lamp, sparing you from having to kill me!*

*Moreover, it freed you from obsession, allowing you to leave the room!*

*I gave it all to you!*

*And despite helping you so much, you only allowed me to live!*

*This life was always mine!*

*In terms of calculations, you gave nothing yet wanted so much?*

*One must pay something to acquire the immortal flame, otherwise, I would still be at a loss!*

*Where is the win-win?*

*Now you have obtained the immortal flame, perhaps releasing your obsession and leaving the room!*

*As for me, I obtained the oil lamp!*

*We both have gained what we wanted, each with a bright future!”

Yang Yan sighed as he listened to the old man’s unending angry roars from the room behind him.

“*Still angry!*

*Alas!*

*My flame can illuminate the hidden, warm the world!*

*Yet it cannot warm your heart!*

*You make me deeply saddened!*”

These words of his could naturally be heard by the old man within the room.

The old man, struck by thunder, consumed by flames, in constant pain,

trembled with rage, seething with anger.

Hearing Yang Yan’s voice again, he turned into a mass of black aura.

“You brat, you’re angering me to death!!!!”

Crack!

The wooden door was completely shattered, and a black aura, akin to a primordial beast, charged out in its form of a primordial beast.

In the room behind him, flames and thunder continued burning a vast expanse of black aura.

The old man had sacrificed part of his body to escape the room, severing the spread of Red Flames and Thunder!

“Have you run away?

Can’t escape the monk, can’t escape the temple!

Even if I have to search to the ends of Heaven and Earth, I will find you and destroy you!”

Carrying a terrifying aura, he pursued along the hidden passage!

Meanwhile, Yang Yan had already returned to where Miao Yin was.

“Hmm?” Yang Yan, while playing with the newly acquired oil lamp, suddenly noticed Huan Wu’s expression of hopelessness.

“Did Miao Yin torment her?”
