The Battle Through Heaven
Separating the Fire Seed
Inside the bright cave, a green-colored flame wriggled vigorously. A prominent trace of distortion clearly appeared in the air around the flame following the wriggling of the cluster of fire seedlings. It is unexpected that the temperature of ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ will be very frightening …
As ‘The Green Lotus Core Fire’ gradually became more wild, Yao Lao, who had first sensed this, quickly spread his powerful Spiritual Strength and completely covered the entire cave. At the same time, he isolated the extremely high temperature that appeared within the cave.
In the air, the green-colored flame, magnified by the wind, expanded nearly a hundred times in the blink of an eye. Following the change in its size, the originally warm and soothing flame had become wild and fierce. Flame whistling while wriggling, emitting sound ‘chi chi’. The surrounding air was also burned by the green flame into nothingness.
Xiao Yan focused his gaze on the huge green flames in the air before turning to look at Yao Lao. He waited for the latter to nod his head. Then he breathed in the hot air deeply. His hand, which was covered by a blood-colored cuticle, trembled towards the green flames and released a great suction force.
When sucking ‘Heavenly Fire’, the suction force, which can usually easily suck a large stone is only able to slowly move ‘Heavenly Fire’ through the air. Moreover, whenever the formless suction force came into contact with ‘Fire Green Lotus Core’, it could only last for two to three seconds before it would be burnt into nothingness by the terrifying heat.
Therefore, although Xiao Yan and the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ might only be a few meters away, the amount of Dou Qi that was depleted was enormous.
Xiao Yan's eyes stared intently at the green-colored flame that was slowly moving. His breathing was rather fast and his forehead was sweating. Sweat followed the contours of his face as it flowed downwards. Under the reflection of the blood-colored cuticle, it looked like a bright red droplet of fresh blood.
As ‘The Green Lotus Core Fire’ gradually drew closer, the frightening heat energy it emitted even caused Yao Lao's face to the side revealing some shock. Clearly, the energy contained within this ‘Heavenly Fire’, which was ranked nineteenth in ‘Color’ Fire Rankings, seemed to have exceeded his expectations.
When the enormous green-colored flame stopped about a meter in front of Xiao Yan, the terrifying heat he emitted still caused some hard green stones to slowly crack even though Yao Lao had used his Spiritual Strength to isolate the inside of the cave. A moment later, several large stones incarnated into a number of small stones that were burned into a pile of fine green powder.
Yao Lao's face was filled with seriousness as he stared at the huge green-colored flame that stopped in front of Xiao Yan. Yao Lao's somewhat hazy body surface suddenly started to fluctuate intensely like a wave of water. Seeing his body change, Yao Lao's expression changed slightly. His pair of hands formed a seal in the lightning-like material and let out a soft cry. Instantly, a thick white-colored flame quickly rose from his body and gradually stopped when covering everything.
After calling ‘Bone Chilling Flame’, Yao Lao once again calmed down. He took a few small steps back, stared intently at the wriggling green-colored flame with a serious old face, and quickly said, "Place your hands into the green-colored flame. The middle of the cluster of flames should form a wisp of fire seeds. Take him out! Hurry along! "
Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan's body trembled slightly. Under the blood-colored cuticle, a pair of eyes opened wide. Xiao Yan pulled the corner of his mouth in disbelief. Stretching his hand into the flames? Isn't that seeking death?
A dumbfounded thought quickly flashed across his heart. A moment later, he calmed his mind from a stunned state. Since Yao Lao had told him about this, then he should do as he was told. He did not even have the slightest experience when it came to swallowing ‘Heavenly Fire’. Hence, he could only follow Yao Lao's every command
Although while swallowing ‘Heavenly Fire’, any small mistake would result in a reaction from ‘Heavenly Fire’ turning into a pile of ash, Xiao Yan was able to give Yao Lao unlimited confidence.
Xiao Yan nodded his chin without anyone noticing before suddenly raising his head. He stared intently at the green-colored flame that was getting closer. His slightly trembling hand opened and closed slightly, preparing to charge ‘Heavenly Fire’ at any time.
When the ‘Fire Green Lotus Core’ arrived somewhere around two to three feet away from Xiao Yan, the land of the surrounding hard mountains had been burned into a huge pit. This result was something that happened even with Yao Lao's protective efforts. If Yao Lao were to withdraw the protection from the Spiritual Strength, the entire mountain peak would be burnt into a pile of ashes in a very short period of time.
The green lotus emitted a faint green-colored light as Xiao Yan sat cross-legged on the lotus chair. This layer of light helped Xiao Yan block most of the temperature of ‘Heavenly Fire’. Even with this, there was still some residual temperature that managed to seep in, causing the blood-colored cuticles to form bright red liquid droplets.
Xiao Yan's dark black eyes reflected an exotic flame and a green-colored demon as he looked at the huge flame that stopped in front of him. His throat rolled slightly before he clenched his teeth hard and slowly stretched out his hand, which was covered with blood-colored cuticles, into the group of ‘Fire Green Lotus Core’.
Following the gradual extension of his hand into the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’, the layer of blood-colored cuticle on his arm started to melt rapidly. Blood droplets like liquid repeatedly dripped. Every time a drop of liquid left his hand, it would quickly be burned by the green-colored flame into nothingness.
Under this cycle of continuous thawing and replacement, Xiao Yan's hand finally completely extended into ‘Heavenly Fire’.
Being in such close contact with the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’, the blood-colored cuticles all over Xiao Yan's body began to show signs of melting with varying intensities. After which, a blood-colored liquid dripped down like flowing water. At first glance, it seemed like fresh blood was continuously coming out from within his pores. His gentle face and looks were also currently covered by flowing fresh blood, like a demon descending from hell. Overall, he looked very scary.
Xiao Yan stared intently at the green-colored flame that continued to wriggle with unblinking eyes. His hand quickly grasped ‘Api Heavenly’. This was the first time he had come into close contact with ‘Heavenly Fire’ which was not controlled by anyone. Although there were some strange new things, there was more anxiety and fear. In this kind of situation, if the blood-colored cuticle in his hand failed to be replaced in time, then Xiao Yan would turn into a pile of ashes within a few seconds.
From beneath the blood-colored cuticle, sweat dripped down from Xiao Yan's forehead, entering his eyes. There was pain and swelling in his eyes due to the salty sweat but he did not dare to blink his eyes even once. He tightly pressed his mouth as his palm slowly entered into the green-colored flame inch by inch.
When Xiao Yan was looking for a wisp of fire seeds from the ‘Green’ Lotus Core Fire, he could not help but be surprised and amazed by the high temperature of ‘Heavenly Fire’. The temperature it contained far exceeded Xiao Yan's expectations. Even though he had prepared many things, the frightening high temperature brought by the ‘Green’ Lotus Core Fire was still slowly seeping past the blood-colored cuticle and the defense of the green lotus energy cover, the, it caused the skin of Xiao Yan, who had been hiding underneath them, to become red, like a burning hot iron.
Xiao Yan clenched his teeth as he flaunted the searing pain. Through the corner of his eyes, he quickly looked around him and was somewhat surprised to find that the small cave had expanded to twice its original size.
At this moment, the ‘Fire Green Lotus Core’ seemed to have realized Xiao Yan's intentions. Instantly, it began to spin and the natural energy contained within the surrounding space began to stir up unrest. The energy of the multi-colored spots slowly flowed, like a colorful river, looking extremely dazzling.
Energy multi-colored spots rotate around ‘Fire Green Lotus Core’. Sometimes, a beam of fire would pounce on him. Soon, this mottled, round energy circle will look like a donut that a dog has bitten, leaving it with a missing, flaky tip.
Following the sudden revolt of the ‘Fire Green Lotus Core’, the originally terrifying temperature inside the cave immediately rose sharply. The surroundings within the mountain cave began to rapidly crack under this sudden rise in temperature. Many huge crack lines spread out quietly and in just a few moments, they covered the entire mountain cave. Looking at its interior that had been damaged to the brim with holes, it might have long since collapsed had it not been for Yao Lao's support.
"What a terrifying destructive force. If it were to be thrown into the city, it might be able to burn the big city into ruins within an hour. " Observing the interior of the mountain cave that had undergone a drastic change in just a moment, a palpitating heart appeared on Xiao Yan's face. He muttered those words before quickly turning his gaze towards Yao Lao.
At this moment, Yao Lao had a face filled with tension as he stared at every action made by the green-colored flame. When he sensed Xiao Yan looking over, Yao Lao's tense face became a little soft and gave Xiao Yan a comforting smile.
Xiao Yan faced the resolute smile of Yao Lao and nodded. Suddenly, his eyebrows shot up. An uncontrollable joy surged on his face as he hurriedly turned his head, focusing his gaze intently within the green-colored flame.
The hand covered by the blood-colored cuticle crazily began to clasp within the green-colored flame. A moment later, that rapidly dancing hand suddenly became stiff. A smile gradually rose to the corner of Xiao Yan's mouth.
On one side, Yao Lao sighed in relief when he saw Xiao Yan's expression. Although the blood protector coagulated by ‘The Blood’ Lotus Pill was strong, it could not withstand the prolonged roasting by ‘Heavenly Fire’. After the blood protector evaporated due to exhaustion of his energy, Xiao Yan's attempt to swallow ‘Heavenly Fire’ this time should be declared a failure.
Xiao Yan's hand tightly grabbed onto something whose substance was like an actual seed. He clenched his hand and endured the searing pain from his palm as he gradually withdrew his hand from within the green-colored flame.
When Xiao Yan's hand finally withdrew from the green-colored flame, he found a wisp of green-colored lava liquid writhing in his palm.
"Is this Flame Seed from ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’?" Gazing at the wisp of green-colored lava emitting a frightening temperature, Xiao Yan blinked his eyes and softly muttered.
