The tri-colored fire lotus slowly rotated in Xiao Yan’s palm, and with each turn, black spatial cracks seeped out from the surrounding space, sending chills down everyone’s spines. The moment the fire lotus appeared, all could clearly feel that the energy of this world instantly became wild, and the temperature rose rapidly…
This unusual phenomenon directly made everyone’s faces change dramatically. Even Tang Zhen, his eyes revealing a hint of shock, realized that within that mysterious tri-colored fire lotus, there seemed to be a destructive and terrifying force. This kind of power felt somewhat familiar to him…
“Is this… the power of a Heavenly Flame?” After a moment’s thought, Tang Zhen’s pupils contracted suddenly!
Wu Chen, who was directly affected, also changed his expression. Since he was closest, he felt the destructive power contained within the fire lotus most profoundly. Under the exquisite tri-colored fire lotus, the third elder of the Burning Flame Valley finally showed an incredible look, completely unable to fathom how Xiao Yan, a mere one-star Battle Sect, could display such a terrifying power that even he found shocking.
“How is this possible?” Light flashed in his eyes as he gritted his teeth. Although Xiao Yan’s fire lotus was terrifying, his Taiyi Fire Robe Palm was not to be underestimated either. Who would emerge victorious was still unknown!
It must be said that Wu Chen was indeed a cunning old monster. At this moment, not only was he not cowed by the fire lotus, but his fighting spirit surged even more, because he knew very well that at this time, advancing meant a chance to win, but retreating meant certain defeat! Whether it was ten rounds or not, if he was careless, just the tri-colored fire lotus alone could make him extremely embarrassed.
With this thought, Wu Chen’s vicious intent grew even stronger. The massive Dou Qi in his body raged like a flood, and on his large palm, red light flourished. In the palm, there faintly appeared a mysterious, fiery red symbol, its dazzling light causing many around him to hurriedly shut their eyes.
“Taiyi Fire Robe Palm, Fire Robe Covers the Heavens!”
With a loud shout, Wu Chen’s aura soared. His palms suddenly expanded, growing to over a meter wide in an instant, resembling a brightly glowing lampshade from a distance.
As the shout fell, the mysterious fiery red symbol in Wu Chen’s palm also expanded, and the violent energy it contained grew denser!
“The Third Elder has actually used the strongest Fire Robe Symbol from the Taiyi Fire Robe Palm…”
Staring at the expanding Wu Chen, the spectators around the open ground let out exclamations of surprise. No one had expected that a simple ten-round test would evolve into such a fierce battle. Everyone knew that at this moment, Wu Chen was using all his strength as an eight-star Battle Sect, and the instigator was merely a one-star Battle Sect, making many feel a sense of confusion. The gap between one star and eight stars was not something ordinary.
Seeing the sudden surge of red light above, Xiao Yan’s expression did not change. He despised Wu Chen, as the ten rounds of testing were almost devoid of any opportunity for him. Even if gaining this chance required most of his strength, he did not hesitate, driven by the desire to prevent Xiao Yan from smoothly obtaining the Heaven’s Three Mystic Changes. During the clashes, Wu Chen had used heavy-handed tactics several times, and if Xiao Yan had no tricks up his sleeve, the outcome would have been grim. This was the final reason Xiao Yan had decisively used the tri-colored fire lotus!
Since you don’t want me to have an easy time, then you must also pay the price!
A ruthless glint flashed in his dark eyes as Xiao Yan’s palm flung the exquisite, tri-colored fire lotus violently!
As the fire lotus shot out, Wu Chen roared, “Taiyi Fire Robe Symbol!”
The roared, the mysterious, fiery red symbol in his palm glowed brilliantly, then detached from his hand, transforming into a stunning beam of light, carrying terrifying energy that shook the space, and rushed down like lightning!
The brilliance and the tri-colored light flashed and collided in an instant under the gaze of countless eyes, like two comets containing fearsome energy, crashing into each other between Wu Chen and Xiao Yan!
The moment they collided, even the heavens and earth seemed to fall silent, and everyone’s expressions froze in that instant.
BOOM!!!
This strange silence lasted only a few breaths before a terrifying energy storm, powerful enough to frighten even Battle Sects, erupted where the collision occurred!
“Pfft!”
The moment the energy storm appeared, the high-speed spinning energy tail struck Xiao Yan and Wu Chen’s bodies, both of them staggered, spitting blood, their bodies flying back like kites, then crashing to the ground, leaving a deep gash over a hundred meters long before finally stopping.
As the two were flung away, the terrifying energy storm grew larger, with flames surging, increasing the temperature drastically and making the energy chaotic. No one dared to absorb any of this energy.
The massive energy storm was a hundred feet wide, like a hurricane spanning the sky and earth, and the ferocious pressure spreading from the storm made everyone’s faces change.
The open ground outside the hall was almost entirely turned to dust, and the continuous waves of energy shockwaves from the storm affected even the distant forest, snapping some giant trees in half.
Before the hall, including the Second Elder, all the Burning Flame Valley elders took a deep, cold breath. They could feel that even they would be severely injured if they were caught in the terrible energy storm in the sky.
Tang Zhen’s face was stern, and no one expected things to escalate to this point. It was just a test, but the chaos it created was like it wanted to destroy the entire Burning Flame Valley.
“If we don’t clean up this mess, the Burning Flame Valley will be in shambles.”
After waiting for a while, Tang Zhen could only sigh and glance at the Second Elder next to him. Under Tang Zhen’s gaze, the Second Elder shivered and then laughed bitterly, knowing he had infuriated Tang Zhen, but as an elder, he had to step in. After all, the Heaven’s Three Mystic Changes were no ordinary thing.
Ignoring the Second Elder, Tang Zhen stepped and his figure appeared in front of the huge energy storm in the sky. With a gentle stroke in the air, a massive spatial black line appeared, and he pushed his hands into it, pulling hard.
In this pull, the space cracked, forming a fissure over ten feet wide, the bottomless darkness inside making people’s hearts quiver.
Tearing space, such a heaven-defying skill, could only be achieved by a peak Dou Zun-level powerhouse.
“Go!”
Tang Zhen’s hand clenched towards the huge energy storm, which gradually slowed down and was finally shoved into the pitch-black crack, where it vanished, along with the previously rampant energy storm.
Seeing the terrifying thing disappear, the many Burning Flame Valley disciples breathed a sigh of relief, wiping away their cold sweat. If Tang Zhen hadn’t acted, this place would have become a wasteland.
After dispersing the energy storm, Tang Zhen also exhaled, hiding his trembling hands in his sleeves. He understood the Taiyi Fire Robe Palm well and knew it couldn’t create such a terrifying energy storm. So, it was likely the mysterious fire lotus that triggered this storm…
“Xiao Yan is truly extraordinary, able to unleash such power from a Heavenly Flame. Our Burning Flame Valley has controlled the Nine Dragon Thunderfire for years but never reached this level. This young man… is truly extraordinary.”
Sighing, Tang Zhen felt a bit regretful, but then thought that Xiao Yan must already have a teacher, and his eyes flashed with disappointment.
Standing in the sky, Tang Zhen’s gaze swept below, resting on where Xiao Yan and Wu Chen lay. Both were struggling to get up, their gazes filled with hostility…
“Ten rounds are up, Wu Chen, you lost,” Tang Zhen slowly descended from the sky, speaking softly.
Hearing this, Wu Chen, covered in soot, was stunned, then gnashed his teeth, unwilling to accept defeat. He hadn’t expected to lose to a junior. Despite his discontent, the memory of the terrifying energy storm sent a chill through him; if he had been dragged into it, he would have been severely injured.
Xiao Yan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face pale, but his eyes gleaming. Though the tri-colored fire lotus couldn’t do much to an eight-star Battle Sect before, now it was enough. This meant he had another weapon to deal with such powerhouses in the future.
Tang Zhen turned to Xiao Yan and smiled, his voice softening. “Since Wu Chen has lost, according to the agreement, the Heaven’s Three Mystic Changes should now belong to you… Congratulations.”
