The Power of Fire Taosim!
Ye Tianchen’s involvement with the power of Fire Tao wasn’t non-existent. Back in the day, to save Tianshuang, Ye Tianchen did not hesitate to rush into the Fire Dragon Pond, witnessing firsthand the Red Lotus Fire capable of incinerating everything under heaven!
This was the first time Ye Tianchen saw such a flame capable of destroying everything, and he was truly shocked. He narrowly escaped the Fire Dragon Pond alive; back then, if not for the "Holy Heaven Prison" and the Chaos Qi, Ye Tianchen would have surely not survived!
Flame Valley!
A place rumored to have existed in Earth’s Three Ancient Martial Worlds since the Mythical Era, where flames burn day and night. To save Dongfang Meng, Ye Tianchen delved deep into Flame Valley. That time as well, he barely kept his existence from annihilation. All of it was thanks to his treasure, his strong will, and his profound blessing that allowed him to survive!
Ye Tianchen never specifically trained to control the power of Fire Tao, but when he reached the second layer of Flame Valley relying on his strong will, he met a Fire Qilin, which he named the Qilin Prince. If it were to emerge, it would stir the entire Martial Arts World because Qilin itself is an Immortal Beast of the Immortal Domain. Unlike any other descendants of the Immortal Beast species, the Fire Qilin in Flame Valley is a true Qilin, although it seems not yet mature!
To be honest, Ye Tianchen always had a question in his heart. The little Qilin in Flame Valley is obviously not from any Immortal Beast Qilin descendant clan but a member of the Immortal Beast Qilin family. But why is it in the Martial Arts World? Why is it in Flame Valley on Earth? Was it cast down from the Immortal Domain, or for some special reason, was it sent by the Qilin family from the Immortal Domain to Flame Valley? More importantly, if the Immortal Beast bloodline within this little Qilin awakens completely, will it become the next ruler in the Martial Arts World?
It was precisely in Flame Valley that Ye Tianchen tempered his body with its powerful flames. He trained there for several months and forged a deep friendship with the little Qilin. Even without mastering the power of Fire Tao, relying on the fact that he tempered his body with powerful flames and witnessed the Fire Qilin harnessing the power of Fire Tao, Ye Tianchen learned a thing or two. At least, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to face Huo Litian!
Of course, all this sounds easy, but how many people have the blessing and perseverance of Ye Tianchen? His strength speaks for itself. To reach the second layer of Flame Valley and temper his body with its flames, to witnesses the supreme Immortal Beast Fire Qilin himself, and to refine the power of Fire Tao, how many can achieve this?
Huo Litian’s Divine Fire Dragon Fist faced Ye Tianchen’s Fire Fist. In this situation, Huo Litian was defeated, making it impossible for him to believe. A talented disciple from the Fire God Sacred Land like himself couldn’t control the power of Fire Tao as well as an outsider like Ye Tianchen. What kind of feeling is this? It’s utterly unacceptable for Huo Litian. He was in disbelief and absolutely refused to believe it, spurring a reckless urge to obliterate Ye Tianchen completely!
Rumble!
Huo Litian stood up, with blood at the corner of his mouth, coldly gazing at Ye Tianchen. His eyes were filled with a fiery light, and gradually a blood-red flame appeared at Huo Litian’s brow, giving off a chilling sensation. Though it seemed unremarkable, Ye Tianchen felt a clear sense of death!
"Senior Brother, you..." Huo Xianer gasped in shock, unable to speak for a moment!
"That’s right, Junior Sister. I successfully refined a drop of the Ancient Fire God’s blood. I’ve mastered that Ancient Fire God’s supreme divine power!" Huo Litian confidently claimed.
Ye Tianchen frowned. The drop of blood left by the Ancient Fire God, how powerful is it? Needless to say, the Ancient Fire God was a legendary figure approaching the Emperor Realm. In this world where Saints do not appear and Emperors are absent, everyone thought the Fire God from Fire God Sacred Land ruled over this Martial Arts World. It was formidable enough and instilled tremendous awe, with unmatched control of Fire Tao!
When the Ancient Fire God passed away, he left a few drops of blood for future generations. They contained his legacy and his will, but from ancient times to the present, no one in Fire God Sacred Land managed to comprehend it fully. Refining just one drop was impossible, even for the likes of Huo Xianer, who has the Ancient Fire God heritage bloodline!
Whether in Fire God Sacred Land or external Cultivation Immortal Sects, they believed that anyone who could fully comprehend even one drop of the Ancient Fire God’s blood would become a powerful being, perhaps another Fire God. But the legacy left by a being as strong as the Ancient Fire God isn’t so easily comprehended!
What Huo Xianer never expected was her senior brother, Huo Litian, actually comprehended one drop of the Ancient Fire God’s blood because the aura emanating from Huo Litian now was that of the Ancient Fire God—a very powerful one indeed, creating an unassailable feeling!
"Tianchen, be careful; it’s the aura of the Ancient Fire God. I fear Senior Brother really refined a drop of the Fire God Ancestor’s blood!" Huo Xianer hurriedly warned Ye Tianchen.
"Is it really refined from a drop of Ancient Fire God’s blood? It still seems too weak!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
"You...don’t overestimate yourself, or you’ll lose your life. It’s no joke!" Huo Xianer said anxiously.
"I’m not joking. In my view, the Ancient Fire God’s power is more than this; your senior brother hasn’t fully comprehended it!" Ye Tianchen said seriously.
Rumble!
A surge of power erupted from Huo Litian, causing the entire land to tremble. Signs of collapse were everywhere—it was incredibly astounding. The blood-red fire between his brows kept flickering as he fiercely roared at Ye Tianchen, "How dare you, impudent fool! Even our Fire God Sacred Land’s Ancient Fire God you dare to desecrate, you won’t be forgiven!"
"I have not desecrated the Ancient Fire God’s authority. However, I think if a fool like you appears among the descendants of the Fire God Sacred Land, the Fire God would be enraged back to life, and I don’t know whether that would be a good or bad thing!" Ye Tianchen shook his head and said.
"Line of Blood Sky!" Huo Litian shouted!
A blood-red fire streak shot forth, seemingly unremarkable as it pierced through every obstacle, blasting towards Ye Tianchen. The feeling of shattering everything was indeed shocking!
Ye Tianchen chose to flee immediately; he didn’t confront it head-on. Although he felt Huo Litian didn’t truly understand the secret skill within the Ancient Fire God’s blood, he nevertheless fused with the blood and grasped some essence. Therefore, Ye Tianchen needed time to come up with a strategy. Direct confrontation would be too much given his current state. Most importantly, there was still a Supreme Elder of the Fire God Sacred Land, Huo Xun, holding the fort. This old fellow hadn’t made a move yet; he was ruthless and wouldn’t let Ye Tianchen leave alive. Ye Tianchen knew this well, so he had to conserve strength to fight Huo Xun and keep a contingency in reserve!
Bang!
Boom!
Thud!
Ye Tianchen kept escaping around, but no matter where he fled, the blood-red fire streak would instantly close in. It was extremely fast; a slight delay would put Ye Tianchen at risk of being split in two by the fire.
Boom! Thud!
Taking a hit head-on, Ye Tianchen was sent flying, crashing into a mountain. Already seriously injured and not yet healed, this just added insult to injury!
"Hmph, I thought you were stronger, but it’s just empty bravado!" Huo Litian snorted disdainfully.
"What a pity, truly a pity..." Ye Tianchen shook his head looking at Huo Litian and said.
"Pity what?" Huo Litian frowned and asked.
"Pity that though you have extraordinary talent, you are misled by this old fellow. No matter how powerful he is, you’re still under his control!" Ye Tianchen sighed and said.
"Nonsense! At death’s door, you still try to sow discord between me and my master, I’ll tear you apart!" Huo Litian roared in anger.
"Isn’t it true? Your body is already under the Binding Curse set by this old man. If you dare not listen to him, he can obliterate you—perhaps if you didn’t kill Xianer just now, you would’ve died!" Ye Tianchen shouted.
"Binding Curse?" Huo Litian froze, muttering to himself.
"Litian, don’t listen to his nonsense. Quickly kill him, the Fire God Gourd will be yours, and you will certainly be the next Fire God!" Huo Xun, the Supreme Elder of Fire God Sacred Land, loudly said.
"If you don’t believe me, calm your mind and sense the depths of your soul; is there an unusual power? That power is the Binding Curse your master secretly planted," Ye Tianchen earnestly said to Huo Litian.
Huo Litian was startled. Instinctively sensing the depths of his soul, he couldn’t help but look up and, with disbelief, asked his master Huo Xun:
"Master, is this unusual power in me really the Binding Curse you set? Why, why do this to me?" (To be continued.
