Chapter 216: Fire Suppression
Li Yi, who was healing himself in the distance, stared at Yunxiao in terror with his eyes widened.
Although they were both Martial Lords, he felt the gap between them grow greater and greater. Ever since Yunxiao was a Warrior, he had not taken him seriously. Now that both of them were Martial Lords, Yunxiao’s domineering aura pricked his eyes, and he realized that he was not even qualified to look him in the eye!
A monstrous resentment and hatred rose in Li Yi’s heart, and he cursed, hoping Yunxiao would be slapped to death by Xingyang Huo.
“What a presumptuous boy!” Xingyang Huo was so angry that he laughed. “Who do you think you are?”
Yunxiao’s killing intent did not diminish, and his voice grew colder. “You are the last old dog left in the Xingyang family. In a short while, the Xingyang family will be completely wiped out of the continent.”
“You are looking for death!”
Xingyang Huo’s nostrils flared. He had an unrealistic feeling at the thought that his family, which had been standing strong for over a thousand years in Firecrow Empire, was inexplicably destroyed by a young man. He was more willing to accept if it were destroyed by the Supreme Palace.
“After I burn you to ashes, I’ll refine this pagoda, open it, and flay every person that is close to you!”
With both hands, Xingyang Huo kept drawing circles. Flames rolled and spat around him, and they soon formed into a huge fireball, which he lifted over his head and flung down. The fireball was so huge that it measured some thirty meters wide. Falling like the sun, it burned off everything in the surroundings in a flash.
“Explode, flaming meteor shower!”
Xingyang Huo performed an incantation gesture with one hand and cried out. With that, the fireball blew apart with a boom, splitting into thousands of fireballs and falling like a meteor shower.
All the experts in the sky held their breaths and concentrated on the attack. The flames were so strong that even they could feel waves of heat from thousands of miles above. The power of the attack was definitely not weaker than that of a one-star Martial Emperor. It seemed that Xingyang Huo’s decision of neglecting his cultivation base and refining the Bluelotus Earth Fire in seclusion was correct.
With the help of this strange fire of the heaven and earth, it would be very easy for him to become a Martial Emperor. And by that time, ordinary Martial Emperors would be no match for him at all.
As the blazing flames came whistling down, an idea suddenly struck Yunxiao. A force began to surge in his spiritual ocean, and he suddenly gave a loud cry as he bent his body forward and stretched out his arms to both sides.
The Divine Realm Tablet next to him was connected with his heart, and a deeper insight came to his spiritual ocean. Attracted by the strange fire of heaven and earth, the divine fire in the depths of his soul burned fiercer, and his whole spiritual ocean suddenly turned into a sea of flames, which were about to break out of his body through the flaming cloud between his eyebrows.
Yunxiao’s expression changed drastically. Even with the Divine Realm Tablet nourishing his soul power, the sea of flames in his spiritual ocean was out of his control. If they rushed out, the consequences would be unimaginable!
“Roar!”
He threw his head back and roared, forcibly suppressing the flames in his spiritual ocean. All of a sudden, his whole body turned red and his blood seemed to be on fire.
With the roar, the flaming meteor shower that blotted out the sky seemed to halt for a brief moment before it smashed down with immense fear. However, it no longer had the mighty aura, and seemed to intentionally avoid Yunxiao, only exploding around him and turning into a sea of flames that burned the ground.
No one noticed this subtle detail, but it deeply shocked Xingyang Huo.
He was spiritually connected with the Bluelotus Earth Fire, so he naturally could sense the fear and shock that came from the depths of the soul.
“Strange fire! He also has a strange fire of the heaven and earth in his body!”
Xingyang Huo’s eyes grew wide with excitement. He practiced fire-element cultivation techniques all his life and was exposed to countless fires. The Bluelotus Earth Fire was already a very strong strange fire of the heaven and earth, but the level of the strange fire inside Yunxiao must be far greater than it!
“This extraordinary object of heaven and earth is not what a mere Martial Lord like you can own!” His figure flashed, and he rushed inside the sea of flames in the next moment while roaring ferociously, “Let’s see what kind of existence is hiding inside your body!”
Amidst the blazing flames was a vacuum zone.
Yunxiao was struggling with a painful look on his face. He had used all his strength to suppress the Phoenix True Flame in him, but to no avail. And his Tyrant Body was showing signs of melting under the flames, with heat waves rushing out of his skin from time to time.
“This is…”
When Xingyang Huo rushed into the sea of flames and sensed Yunxiao’s aura, his pupils constricted abruptly; it was a powerful ancient aura that filled his heart with a chill. Even though he was inside a sea of fire, he did not feel warm at all.
“An ancient divine fire…This kind of feeling…I can’t believe it is actually an essence inherited from the ancient times…” He became incoherent with excitement. “You don’t deserve such a rare treasure of the heaven and earth! Give me! Give me the fire at once!”
He wanted to seize the fire, but he was intimidated by the aura, and he did not dare to go forward.
There was a painful look in Yunxiao’s eyes. Suddenly, they burst with a light while the flaming cloud between his eyebrows appeared, with the ancient essence of a true fire rippling out of it.
