Strongest Scammer: Scamming The World, One Death At A Time-Chapter 801: Flaming Wrath Of A Giant!

The cold grew stronger.

Stronger.

Stronger.

Until finally... the impossible happened.

A layer of black ice appeared.

At first, it was thin.

Just a faint crystalline sheen forming across the surface of the flaming halberd. But the moment it appeared, it began spreading rapidly. The cold was no longer merely resisting the flames... It was consuming them.

The black ice crawled across the weapon like a living thing.

Han Yu's eyes widened.

The halberd continued pushing forward, but the flames were losing their brilliance.

The black ice thickened.

And soon the entire blade was coated.

Then the shaft.

Then the burning core of the weapon itself.

Han Yu clenched his will.

His determination remained unshaken.

But the abyss was overwhelming.

The black ice grew thicker and thicker until finally the blazing halberd of Blood Flames was completely encased.

What had once been a weapon of roaring fire was now nothing more than a frozen block of black ice.

GOOONG!

The abyss surged forward.

And then it devoured the halberd entirely.

Han Yu felt something break within his chest.

Fear.

For the first time since this confrontation began, true fear appeared.

The abyss exploded outward like a rising tide.

The darkness poured into every corner of his Dantian.

It did not stop there.

WHOOSH

The vortex surged outward through his meridians like a flood breaking through shattered gates.

The freezing darkness spread into his flesh.

Into his organs.

Into his bones.

It seeped into his marrow and wrapped itself around his heart.

The cold crawled into his brain like creeping frost.

Han Yu could feel his body being consumed.

The abyss was claiming everything.

And it continued spreading.

Until finally it reached the final domain.

His Soul Space.

The moment the darkness entered that sacred place, the Eight Emotions Lotus reacted instantly.

The lotus trembled.

"Yi Ya? YAAAAAAAA!"

Soul Qi burst outward like a brilliant wave.

For a brief moment the rich emotional energy and soul qi surged through the Soul Space in an attempt to repel the invader.

But the abyss was far too powerful.

The wave of soul energy barely formed before it was crushed.

The darkness swallowed it.

And the lotus itself was engulfed.

Petal after petal disappeared beneath the endless black tide.

Han Yu felt his consciousness slipping away.

His thoughts began fading.

The concept of self was dissolving.

Even the memory of who he was, started disappearing into the abyss.

Outside in the cultivation chamber, his body was changing.

His skin turned dark.

The frost that had covered him was replaced by an eerie black sheen.

Soon his entire figure became nothing more than a motionless silhouette sitting in the center of the chamber.

A statue of darkness.

Hope was gone.

Everything was being consumed.

But then something appeared...

A spark.

Deep within the Soul Space.

At the very center of the Eight Emotions Lotus.

Where the miniature Stelae had been embedded within its core.

A tiny wisp of light flickered.

It was small.

Almost insignificant compared to the endless abyss surrounding it. Yet the moment it appeared, its brilliance was unmistakable.

Hummm

The tiny ember glowed.

Then it grew.

The spark became a flame.

A small candle flame ignited within the darkness.

And the abyss reacted.

For the first time since its arrival, the endless darkness trembled.

The moment the flame fully formed, the abyss retreated.

Han Yu heard something.

Not through his ears.

But through his soul.

A shriek.

ZIGIAAAAAAA

An inhuman scream of pure terror.

The sound snapped his consciousness back into place. His awareness returned in an instant and Han Yu saw his Soul Space once again.

The Eight Emotions Lotus was reforming.

And rising from its center was the miniature Stelae.

Upon its peak burned the living flame.

The same flame that had saved him before.

The flame he had absorbed long ago.

The flame that had given him his Fire affinity.

Han Yu instantly recognized it.

The living Dao Flame.

It had once protected him from freezing in the terrifying river within the Harrow Mountains. And now it had awakened again. This time to oppose the abyss itself.

The flame flared.

Then it roared.

WUAAAAAAAA

Its brilliance exploded outward like the birth of a star.

The abyss recoiled violently.

The flame grew larger and larger until it became a blazing beacon within the darkness.

The retreat began.

The abyss was pushed back from the Soul Space. Then forced out of his brain. Then expelled from his organs. The living flame surged through his meridians like a river of divine fire.

Every trace of darkness was driven backward.

Until finally the abyss was forced back into its origin... The Dantian.

The flame followed after it.

When it arrived, something incredible happened.

The fire did not form another halberd. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Instead, it expanded.

HUALA

The flames twisted together and condensed into a colossal shape.

A giant appeared.

The figure towered within Han Yu's inner world.

It was Hundreds of meters tall, its body massive and powerful. Flames covered every inch of its form while molten magma flowed through glowing veins beneath its burning skin. Its eyes blazed like twin suns as the giant raised its head and roared.

ROARRRR!!!

The sound shook Han Yu's entire inner world.

Then it charged.

The abyssal vortex looked pitiful before it.

What had once seemed vast and unstoppable now resembled nothing more than a tiny burrow in the ground.

The flaming giant lifted its enormous fist.

The fist descended.

And struck the abyss with divine might.

BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!

The impact was overwhelming.

The vortex shattered instantly, the darkness vanishing in a single blow.

The abyss was erased from existence.

Han Yu wondered if what he was seeing right now was all an illusion. But the searing heat of the giant and its majestic form proved to him that all this was reality. He didn't know how but he had a giant made of magma and flames within his Dantian now.

One born from the Living Flame.

But looking at its colossal form, Han Yu felt strange. He found it a bit familiar. As he watched it he finally realized where he had seen it.

"Why does it feel so familiar?"
