Chapter 216 - Fire Suppression (2/2)

Jiu!

A faint bird cry, which sounded as if it came from ancient times, echoed through the sea of fire. In that instant, the blazing Bluelotus Earth Fire cooled down, as if it was sprinkled with water. The flames were still burning, but their temperature seemed to have dropped below zero degrees.

Xingyang Huo halted in place. Spiritually connected with the Bluelotus Earth Fire, he also felt the chill at the same time. It was not a chill emanated from his foe, but a chill produced from the tremendous fear inside the Bluelotus Earth Fire’s spiritual sense!

“What exactly is it?! How could it make my strange fire so scared?” Xingyang Huo widened his eyes as he struggled to resist the fear that came from the depths of his soul. The Earth Fire’s spiritual sense was severely damaged, which directly affected his mind, and he was devoured by fear in an instant.

What frightened him even more was that with the bird cry ringing out, a dreamlike, barely visible fire came roaring out from between Yunxiao’s eyebrows. It rushed into his body and instantly burned more than half of his energy. He felt as if he had fallen into a hell of fire and was about to burst into flames.

“This is…”

Paying no mind to the serious injury in his body, Xingyang Huo’s eyes turned glassy for a moment and his pupils constricted. He finally remembered what was the beautiful illusory thing he saw just now. He jumped into the air as if he were struck by a bolt of lightning and cried out, “I can’t believe it is…”

“Let me take care of him.” A sigh fell from the sky and broke Xingyang Huo’s voice. Meanwhile, a beam of light fell out of the Bluewolf chariot, and in the blink of an eye, Duan Yue landed in front of Xingyang Huo with an indifferent face, his Heavenly Halberd behind his back.

Puke!

Yunxiao coughed out a mouthful of blood. After the ancient phoenix essence rushed out of the flaming cloud, the flames inside his spiritual ocean calmed down, and were controlled by him and pushed back into his soul. But, his whole body was severely wounded. He could not help but cough out a mouthful of blood as he took a few steps back before managing to regulate his aura.

Ever since he got the Phoenix Divine Fire, he had tried countless times to control it, hoping he could at least condense a wisp of real phoenix flame outside his body. But, all his attempts ended in failure.

When he helped the Kunwu Divine Tree be reborn in the depths of the South Sea, he tried controlling the divine fire for the first time, and he felt it to be so handy. That rekindled his ambition to control the divine fire. That was why he made Duan Yue stay inside the chariot while he came down alone. After all, there were too many experts in the sky, and a two-stars Martial Emperor was definitely a very strong trump card. He did not wish to expose it too early.

But, he did not expect that he would fail to control it. Only now did he realize that when he was in the South Sea, it was because of the tremendous amount of Spirit Qi poured into him by the Kunwu Divine Tree that he was able to control the divine fire. And even so, he had to pay the price of rebirth at the same time.

A divine object inherited from ancient times was indeed not that simple! He reckoned that without the strength of a Martial Sovereign, he would not be able to control it.

“You…Who are you?”

Xingyang Huo was taken aback. Duan Yue’s strength of a seven-stars Martial Grandmaster did not put him on his guard. Even though he was severely wounded now, it would only take him minutes to take care of this man. Yunxiao was who he feared the most now.

But in a flash, Duan Yue performed an incantation gesture with one hand and recited a spell, and his aura suddenly began to rise, breaking into the Seven Constellations realm within a few breaths.

“A Martial Emperor! ”

“A two-stars Martial Emperor!”

It was that moment when Xingyang Huo got a srious fright. He sucked in a breath as he took a few steps back and said in horror, “Who exactly are you?”

Under his control, the surrounding flames retracted into his body, quickly repairing his meridians and flesh that were burned by the illusory Phoenix True Flame. A strange fire was magical. It could not only attack, but also nourish the body and meridians and heal wounds.

As the flames disappeared, the situation on the ground immediately revealed to all eyes.

Although those experts sensed something strange about Yunxiao just now, they were not uncertain.

Now, when they saw he was blackened and covered in wounds, with specks of blood on his chest, they thought he was injured by Xingyang Huo’s Bluelotus Earth Fire, and they all looked surprised. With only the cultivation base of a one-star Martial Lord, Yunxiao survived the Earth Fire, which made these experts feel incredible.

But, then they were astonished, because the aura emanated from Duan Yue was pressing on their chests like a great mountain, making it difficult for them to breathe!

“A two-stars Martial Emperor!” Xin Pi’s pupils constricted with a shocked look on his face.

Zhu Jin and Ao Dijia also looked at each other in horror. Under this southern sky, all Martial Emperors were like overlords.

“Who is this man? Why have I never met him before?” The expression on Zhu Jin’s face was extremely serious. They basically knew all the famous Martial Emperors.

Ao Dijia shook his head and said lightly, “He’d better be a hermit of some sect. I’m just worried…”

Everyone understood what he meant. What they worried the most was that the experts of the other three regions had come to their region. The Heavenly Martial Continent was divided into four regions, and the overall strength of the South was the weakest. They simply could not compete with the other three regions.

Outside the four major regions were other transcendental places, and common people had no idea where they were.

The Holy Realm that nominally ruled the Heavenly Martial Continent was an example. Most people only knew that such a place existed, but few knew exactly where it was. And then there was the Sea of Soul Formation. Only when an alchemist reached the seventh-tier and went to a corresponding place would someone guide him there.
