The Battle Through Heaven
Narrowing Sky Demon Puppet
A cloudy blood mist surged in all directions from the white-colored ring. It quickly agglomerated into a blood-colored figure within the cave.
This figure had just appeared when an unusually dense smell spread out. However, the two people inside the cave were not ordinary people. These kinds of negative emotions do not succeed in ruining their minds.
A fierce spirit had just appeared when it saw Xiao Yan and Tian Huo zun-zhe. Maybe it was because it had been captured the last time seeing these people, but it actually did not pounce on them. Instead, it turned around, turning into a wild shadow of blood coming out of the cave. It seemed that they were scared and were actually trying to escape.
’’ Hmph, You want to escape? ’’
Tian Huo zun-zhe let out a cold snort after seeing the actions of that fierce spirit. His hand clenched and the Fallen Heart Flame in front of him quickly spread out. It turned into a net of fire as it rushed out. Finally, it managed to seal the cave door right before a blood figure reached it.
Fear flashed in the blood-colored eyes of the fierce spirit when it saw the invisible net of fire. Despite not having any intelligence, his instincts said that/it was this invisible net of fire in front of him would cause great danger.
The blood figure rushed forcefully stopping his charging body amidst ear-piercing screams. After that, he rested his body in a place that was only five feet away from the fire net.
The body stopped, but before the blood figure could rejoice, Tian Huo zun-zhe waved his sleeve. One could see as the net of fire fell before it turned into something like a hungry wolf, advancing forward. The network wrapped around a violent spirit, which could not retreat in time.
The chi! The chi!
The flame network had just come into contact with the fierce spirit body when it immediately emitted waves of white mist. Sound ‘chi chi’ repeatedly appeared. It was also accompanied by an all-out struggle of fierce spirits. Although it did not possess any intelligence, the Fiery Heart Flame could affect its spirit. It was hard to avoid the burning pain that came from one's spirit.
Waves of blood-curdling mist surged from the fierce spirit body as he struggled. Following which, the fog collided with the invisible flame network in the surroundings. They started ferociously and ruthlessly eroded each other.
’’ Hmph! ’’
A cold expression flashed across Tian Huo zun-zhe's eyes when he saw the vengeance of that fierce spirit. His hand suddenly changed and the fire net began to slowly shrink. While this net of fire shrank, the fierce spirit bodies within it also became smaller.
” Xiao Yan, increase the Power of the Fallen Heart Fire! ’’
Tian Huo zun-zhe suddenly shouted as he stared at the shrinking fire net.
Xiao Yan, who was already waiting for the command at the side, immediately nodded when he heard this. He flicked his finger and a wave of Dou Qi shot out. Finally, it landed on the web of fire. The Dou Qi was quickly engulfed by the web flames. After the consumption of the web of flames from Dou Qi, the invisible flames left on its surface became denser. On the other hand, the fierce spirit within repeatedly shrieked furiously from the grilling. No matter how strong the struggle was, it was too difficult to escape the web's fire barriers.
” Keep strengthening it! ” Tian Huo zun-zhe glanced at the still struggling spirit and commanded in a deep voice.
Xiao Yan's expression was calm. His ten fingers flicked repeatedly and many Dou Qi pillars erupted. Eventually, they actually joined the web of fire. With the addition of more Dou Qi, the temperature of the Flame Falling Heart became terrifying. In the end, the fierce spirit finally exploded amidst a sharp miserable cry, and turned into a blood-thirsty mist that floated within the net of flames.
Tian Huo zun-zhe heaved a sigh of relief after seeing this scene. The seal in his hand changed and the web fire gradually dispersed. Immediately agglomerated into a ten-foot-tall cauldron made of fire. A cluster of blood-colored mist was trapped inside the cauldron.
Surprise also flashed across Xiao Yan's eyes as he studied Tian Huo zun-zhe's ingenious method of muttering a fire cauldron. He was indeed worthy before becoming an elite Dou Zun. Xiao Yan acknowledged that his/her flame control method was much inferior to his. Tian Huo zun-zhe was truly worthy of his name.
TL: Tian Huo – means sky fire
The temperature inside the fire cauldron was terrifying. By being refined under that high temperature, the collection of viscous mist blooms slowly turned pale. Xiao Yan knew that/that as long as the color of blood within it was completely refined, the ferocious spirit would be successfully refined into a group of extremely pure Spiritual Strength …
However, such a narrowing process was rather slow. It was likely that one would have difficulty fully refining a fierce spirit at this speed without at least three to four days …
” Alright, next, I want you to help me maintain this fire cauldron. The present me cannot sustain the exhaustion of this fire cauldron. ” Tian Huo zun-zhe's face revealed a smile as he looked at the blood-colored fog, slowly being refined within the fire cauldron. After which, he smiled as he spoke to Xiao Yan.
” Aye, Old Master Yao, you can just relax. ” Xiao Yan smiled and nodded. The fire was controlled by Tian Huo zun-zhe. All he needed to do was provide sufficient Dou Qi to maneuver the Fallen Heart Flame. This did not drain his mental strength too much.
Tian Huo zun-zhe also smiled and nodded when he heard this. After which, he slowly closed his eyes and sat cross-legged in the air. A thread of Spiritual Strength came out and controlled the flames within the fire cauldron to proceed with refinement.
’’ Sky Demon Puppet. ’’
This scroll was naturally a treasure that Xiao Yan had obtained from raiding the Fire Valley's Demon warehouse. The puppet skill recorded on it caused him to be extremely curious.
Xiao Yan's finger slowly opened the scroll. The words written within began to enter Xiao Yan's head one by one before leaving a deep memory that was difficult to remove.
The cave slowly descended into silence. Tian Huo zun-zhe focused his attention on the fire purifying ferocious spirits while Xiao Yan had turned his attention to the mysterious world recorded in the bamboo scroll.
This calm atmosphere continued for about an hour or so before Xiao Yan recovered from the sound of Tian Huo zun-zhe urging. He immediately smiled in embarrassment and hurriedly summoned a wave of Dou Qi to throw at the fire cauldron.
After an hour of this study, Xiao Yan also gained some understanding of this ‘Sky Demon Puppet’. If one wanted to refine this, one must have three main ingredients written in the introduction: corpses, Monster Beasts, and spirits. Of course, other than this, one would need some special metal materials to make the body of the puppet even harder.
Xiao Yan tapped the bamboo scroll gently on his arm. He slowly descended into thought. He basically has all these things. To the corpse, he had the bodies of Yun Shan and Old Ground Demon Ghost. For Monster Core, a rank 7 fire dynamics Monster Core should be able to do tricks. For spirits, the Tie Protector of the ‘Hall of Souls’ he got from the Chu Yun Empire back then was the best substitute. Xiao Yan also had some special metal materials in his Storage Ring. Since he was an alchemist, it was his habit to gather things.
A cold glint suddenly appeared in Xiao Yan's eyes as he thought about the spirit. He shook his hand and a jade bottle with an invisible flame covering his mouth appeared in his hand. There was a thread of spiritual ripples seeping out from it.
Xiao Yan's finger rubbed the mouth of the bottle and removed the layer of fire. He continued to close his eyes and Spiritual Strength carried the sound transmitted into the jade bottle.
” Han Feng, do you know the place where ‘Hall of Souls’ has imprisoned teachers? ’
” Ha ha, Xiao Yan, do you want to save the old man who will not die? Stop dreaming. Your little ability is like an ant if you meet the true experts of ‘Hall of Souls.’ Hee hee, if you really want to know, you can let me out and beg me properly. Perhaps, I might suddenly feel compassion and reveal a little information to you! ’’ An arrogant laugh sounded from the jade bottle.
Xiao Yan's face remained indifferent. He didn't waste his breath. With a flick of his finger, a wisp of jade-green fire entered the jade bottle. Immediately a miserable ear-piercing scream was transmitted from the jade bottle.
” Stop burning. What do you want to know? We can discuss this matter slowly! ’
Xiao Yan ignored the terrified scream inside the jade bottle. With a swipe of his finger, the thin flame once again sealed the mouth of the bottle. He thid inspected the jade bottle before putting it back into his Storage Ring. When dealing with such a person, it would be easier to speak if he was allowed to suffer a little.
Xiao Yan glanced at the fire cauldron after doing all this. The viscous blood fog within it had paled quite significantly. Obviously, the refinement went pretty well.
Xiao Yan's gaze shifted away from the fire cauldron. He played with the bamboo scroll in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and stored it inside his Storage Ring, Right now, he still has to take care of the fire cauldron. Therefore, it is not the best time to fix other things. It wouldn't be too late to wait until after he had completely refined a harsh spirit before starting.
Xiao Yan stopped hesitating after making a decision in his heart. He exhaled softly, sat cross-legged, and began to absorb the energy to replenish the fatigue within his body.
…
Three days of quiet refinement passed in an instant …
On this day, the two people in the cave who closed their eyes opened them together without prior approval. Their gazes were thrown at the fire cauldron that floated in the air. Both of them sensed that/it was a blood-thirsty colored fog had completely dispersed. Replacing it was a bunch of chaotic steam. Xiao Yan sensed an extremely dense Spiritual Strength within that vapor.
’’Finally successfully perfected ..’
An excited expression flashed across Tian Huo zun-zhe's eyes as he stared at the invisible gas. He moved his hand and the fire cauldron collapsed. It immediately turned into an invisible cluster of flames, which rushed at Xiao Yan before entering his body.
The chaotic gas group was swallowed by Tian Huo zun-zhe after it approached him. His figure then shook and turned into a white light that entered the white-colored ring.
” Ha ha, Xiao Yan, words cannot thank you for the tremendous help. The old me will come and repay this favor after completely absorbing this Spiritual Strength. Besides, the time I need for this absorption might be rather long. You should be more careful. ’
Xiao Yan also smiled when he heard Tian Huo zun-zhe's laughter. He nodded slightly and raised his head to look at the empty cave. He laughed softly, ” Then, I will perfect ‘Sky Demon Puppet’ .. ” If you find any errors (broken links, non-standard content, etc.), etc, Please let us know so that we can fix it as soon as possible.
