Life Chasing Fire

He opens his hand on a weak, dim yellow flame, the fire path immortal killer move that made his name in Central Continent, and sends it through the blood veil into the iceberg. Yellow fire blazes over the ice without heat or melting; Pi Shui Han screams as the same fire covers him, while Fang Yuan’s eight strength path giant hands look unharmed even as a faint flame appears in his immortal aperture and burns the strength path phantoms that power those hands. Unfettered Scholar names it a fire path immortal killer move that follows attack auras back to the source and into immortal apertures. ^{ch. 791}

Dong Fang Chang Fan’s star will explains that the fire traces auras to where Gu worms are kept, uses life as fuel, and keeps burning while life remains; Thousand Disintegrations can extinguish it, or the victim must cut off burning flesh and starve the flame of life force, because healing that raises life force only makes it fiercer. Unfettered Scholar uses thousand disintegrations on himself and his aperture to clear the flame; Fang Yuan collapses his phantoms and, as an immortal zombie with sparse aperture life force, sheds the fire more easily; Pi Shui Han heals himself, worsens the burn, and flees. The move is the basis of Old Lord Can Yang’s fame, and after rank seven he ranks in the top five of Immortal Crane Sect by battle strength. ^{ch. 791}

After fleeing, Pi Shui Han notices his clothes stay intact while he burns, realizes the fire only burns living force, restrains most life force in his body, and finally extinguishes it. ^{ch. 795}

There Old Lord Can Yang shoots life chasing fire after reinforcing himself and Dong Fang Chang Fan with Final Afterglow, forcing Unfettered Scholar off his attack line; the same fire has already made Unfettered Scholar spend thousand disintegrations on himself many times in that fight. ^{ch. 801} When Fang Yuan later contests Old Lord Can Yang directly, he is not afraid of the fire on his immortal zombie body, yet the flame still burns his stored strength path phantom army until most of it is destroyed. ^{ch. 803}
