Yusuf Zuck had just plucked the nine Green Spirit Fruits when the tree instantly withered and then dissolved, its roots and trunk transforming into a wisp of green mist that disappeared without a trace.
The dew of merit had blessed the core of the Green Spirit Fruit with merit, bestowing it with life, and its life process was to solidify nine fruits, so when the nine fruits were plucked, the merit and vitality also immediately dispersed into the heavens and the earth.
Yusuf cautiously stored eight of the Green Spirit Fruits, placing them in a ring which was already a vacuum inside, suggesting they should be preserved for a long time.
He kept one for himself to consume, not knowing how many years it had been since he last ate, so the sweet taste as it entered his mouth, opening his taste buds, unexpectedly stirred in him the urge to cry.
Indeed, he was alone in this desolate world, too lonely and too tormented. If it were not for his will as firm as a rock, not for his belief that sustained him, he might have turned mad long ago.
He ate one Green Spirit Fruit very cleanly, not wasting a drop, and finally also stored the core before taking a step forward.
One fruit would probably just extend his life and not aid him in gaining a millennium of power because he was stuck in the Late Condensation Period and couldn’t advance without undergoing a tribulation.
He wouldn’t wait any longer, he needed to find a way out and also search for the Black Wind Green Flame in the Dark World.
He didn’t open another Blood Bead, and although he still had one Black Meteorite left, he intended to save it for emergencies in the future. Opening too many Blood Beads now wouldn’t be too beneficial; hence, it was better to save them for a life-threatening moment.
He found a suit of clothes to wear, which fitted perfectly, even a pair of shoes that were just the right size.
Continuing on without a destination, wandering directionless, his heart was filled with hope and also brimming with fighting spirit.
This time, he would not stop until he found the exit.
Perhaps his luck was turning again, or perhaps even the heavens pitied him, but about three months after walking in the darkness, suddenly one day, he saw a round glowing object in the dark ahead.
As he drew closer, he found it was a pitch-black cave, a cave that appeared out of nowhere in the void, with only an entrance visible, no mountains or cliffs in sight, very eerie indeed.
And inside the cave, there was a faint glow of light, without which he would have been unable to find the entrance.
By now, Yusuf feared nothing, having lived in the dark for countless years, what more could scare him?
He strode in confidently.
However, just as he stepped into the cave, he suddenly felt a tremendous pull, a force that he couldn’t control at all, as if he were a piece of iron and deep inside the cave was a giant magnet. He was swept up and sucked in swiftly!
Just as he was dragged in, his mind’s Book of Flame Fire automatically opened, buzzing loudly and the flames intensively burning, it seemed excited!
"Black Wind Green Flame!" Yusuf abruptly thought of a possibility. This dark world did contain Black Wind Green Flame and the Book of Flame Fire had sensed its presence. And this pulling force, wasn’t it the force of the wind? It was endless fierce wind!
Yusuf embraced his origins and did not resist, allowing the pulling force to draw him quickly deeper.
With a "swoosh," just about after a dozen breaths, Yusuf saw a world of green light and the world of the black wind.
In a vast cavern, atop a stone, a green flame burned, surrounded by endless whirlwinds of black winds that reduced all surrounding stones to mere debris, as terrifying as a tornado!
Yusuf Zuck was also caught in the spiral-shaped Black Wind, and the tearing pain made him unable to help but scream in agony.
Moreover, he felt that if he continued to be swept away , his body and his head would be crushed to pieces—the wind was too strong, the Black Wind seemed to want to tear everything apart!
And he couldn’t control his body at all, so he could not walk out of the wind area to reach the center to collect the Black Wind Green Flame.
"I can’t wait any longer, I’m going in." With no other choice, Yusuf’s body entered into the Soul Bead!
As soon as he entered the Soul Bead, the Black Wind ceased to exist, and the inside of the Soul Bead looked like another world where he could still see the raging winds outside.
"Can this place still serve as a refuge?" Yusuf suddenly shook, wondering if he could hide in the Soul Bead when he met super-powerful opponents in the future. Would they be unable to find him?
He carefully sensed around and discovered that entering the Soul Bead was like entering another space. He could see the place where he had just vanished, and the Soul Bead didn’t spin with the wind. Rather, the Soul Bead also seemed to disappear in the Black Wind—it was as if both he and the bead had vanished!
"Alright, find the right moment to rush in!" Yusuf meticulously observed the trajectory of the Black Wind, looking for flaws and preparing to rush out at any time. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ novelFirｅ.net
After observing for more than ten days, he finally discovered that the central green flame sizzled and burned by itself every three days, brightening the flames momentarily. During this self-burning, the Black Wind would slow down, then speed up again after a moment.
Calculating the pattern and timing, the next time the green flame sizzled, Yusuf suddenly burst out from the Soul Bead!
With a "whoosh," he broke through the spinning wind and instantly arrived above the green flame, then reached out to grab it!
However, just as his hand was about to touch the green flame, his hand was suddenly scorched by the flame, and his body started to burn as well. The heat was unbearable as if his entire body was sizzling and his soul being ignited.
"Book of Flame Fire," he fiercely used his telekinesis to lash out at the Book of Flame Fire.
With a "boom," a miracle occurred at that moment. As his telekinesis entered the Book of Flame Fire, it emerged from his crown chakra, then rolled up and gathered the green flame.
With a "swish," the Book of Flame Fire absorbed the green flame into its pages, and the moment it did, the whirlwind suddenly stopped, and everything vanished, leaving Yusuf to fall to the ground with a slap.
However, his entire body was still burning with the green flame, causing him so much pain that he rolled ceaselessly on the ground.
Fortunately, after about ten breaths, the green fire on his body gradually extinguished, and the green flame in the Book of Flame Fire gradually harmonized with him!
The purpose of the Book of Flame Fire was to help its owner gather fire. Otherwise, without the Book of Flame Fire, even gods might not be able to contain such flames in their souls, because the moment you absorb the flame, your soul would also be instantly incinerated.
The Book of Flame Fire used the quickest and gentlest method to perfectly harmonize the flame with Yusuf. Once harmonized, this Black Wind Green Flame became Yusuf’s Soul Fire. The flame’s destructive power would vary with Yusuf’s level of cultivation.
When Yusuf no longer felt any pain, he sat down cross-legged and began to formally cultivate the godly power carried by the Black Wind Green Flame, the Doomsday Wind Disaster, which was that terrifying power able to shred everything!
