Chapter 414: Chapter 414: The Three Great Divine Flames
The Pyroclastic Lion was blasted away by the Demon Ape, and in its pain, it roared furiously as it charged crazily towards the Demon Ape.
The two clashed in battle.
Yang Xiaotian didn’t hesitate; he bypassed them and flew towards the location of the Ziwei Divine Fire.
The Pyroclastic Lion perceived Yang Xiaotian’s intention, flew into a rage, and wanted to make a move against Yang Xiaotian, but was stopped by the Demon Ape.
Yang Xiaotian arrived at the highest peak of the island and took out the Green Dragon Heavenly Cauldron; his True Yuan and all 365 acupoints were fully operable.
All the True Yuan surged out, the cauldron swung onto the peak of the mountain.
Boom!
A heaven-shaking loud noise was heard.
The mountain peak was blasted away by Yang Xiaotian, crumbling into pieces.
As the mountain peak was pulverized by Yang Xiaotian’s swing,
Endless and infinite celestial flames burst forth.
One could see one, two, three, a total of seven Star Heavenly Fires, like stars, flying out from the depths of the earth.
The seven great Star Heavenly Fires converged into a Formation Map, forming a mass of divine fire—this was the Ziwei Divine Fire.
With the appearance of the Ziwei Divine Fire, Heaven and Earth became brightened, and the surface of the surrounding Sea of Stars seemed to be covered with layers of celestial flames, brilliantly illuminated.
The astonishing flames surged wildly towards Yang Xiaotian.
Before the flames even reached him, Yang Xiaotian felt as if he were in the midst of a sea of billions of flames, with the sensation that his whole body was about to be incinerated to ash.
Yang Xiaotian had never encountered such terrifying flames; even the combined might of the blazing power of the Thousand Buddha Divine Fire and the Thunder Tribulation Divine Fire was not as fearsome as the flames before him.
Even if his defenses were fully deployed, if these flames splattered the slightest bit on him, he would be reduced to ash.
In the instant that the flames were about to engulf Yang Xiaotian, Master Ding enveloped him with a ray of light.
“Use the Controlling Fire Technique!” Master Ding’s voice rang out.
Yang Xiaotian hastily operated the Controlling Fire Technique, releasing Fire Runes in an attempt to subdue the Ziwei Divine Fire, but the power of the Ziwei Divine Fire was too strong—Yang Xiaotian’s Fire Runes shattered upon contact.
Yang Xiaotian repeatedly launched Fire Runes.
But the Fire Runes were repeatedly shattered by the Ziwei Divine Fire.
His Fire Runes couldn’t get near the Ziwei Divine Fire.
The celestial flames of the Ziwei Divine Fire were like a boundless ocean, wave upon wave, surging up thousands of feet; within the flames, the seven Star Heavenly Fires pulsated with light.
Compared to the Celestial Flame he had tamed earlier, this Ziwei Divine Fire was in a completely different league.
The Celestial Flame was ranked in the top hundred Abnormal Fires, and its power was not weak, but it wasn’t one-millionth of the Ziwei Divine Fire’s.
The flames of the Ziwei Divine Fire turned into a sea of fire spanning who knows how many miles; even the two Divine Beasts, the Demon Ape and the Pyroclastic Lion, couldn’t withstand the power of the Ziwei Divine Fire. Thus, they continued to fight while retreating, until they had left the island, retreating tens of thousands of miles away.
Yang Xiaotian simply couldn’t restrain the Ziwei Divine Fire, but fortunately, Master Ding emitted one ray of light after another, enveloping the Ziwei Divine Fire, preventing it from flying away.
Even so, the Ziwei Divine Fire continued to bombard Master Ding’s light barrier, causing it to resound incessantly.
The power of the Ziwei Divine Fire far exceeded Yang Xiaotian’s imagination.
Seven days passed, and the Ziwei Divine Fire remained like a wild tiger and lion, causing the light barrier to resound incessantly.
Each time the light barrier dimmed, the Ziwei Divine Fire’s bombardment became even more intense.
Over the course of seven days, Yang Xiaotian persisted in launching one Fire Rune after another.
Yet, as the Fire Runes got close to the Ziwei Divine Fire, they continued to be shattered.
Yang Xiaotian looked at the still fiercely hot and ferocious Ziwei Divine Fire, somewhat speechless.
This was a bit too fierce.
To think that the original Thousand Buddha Divine Fire had worn out after just three days; now, seven days had passed, and the Ziwei Divine Fire was still bursting with vitality.
If this continues for another ten days to half a month, I’m afraid the waters of the Sea of Stars will rise again.
By then, he would have to retreat from the Sea of Stars.
Once the waters of the Sea of Stars rise, a type of Star Origin Water will swell up from the deep abyss of the sea.
This Star Origin Water weighs a billion pounds per drop, and even a Divine Spirit Powerhouse would be crushed to dust if engulfed by it, leaving no remains behind.
Therefore, he had to subdue the Ziwei Divine Fire before the waters of the Sea of Stars rose again.
Three more days passed.
At last, the vigorous Ziwei Divine Fire began to show signs of exhaustion.
Seeing that the Ziwei Divine Fire finally showed signs of fatigue, Yang Xiaotian felt a sense of relief, but he dared not let his guard down, continually infusing the Flame with Fire Runes.
Another day went by.
At last, the Fire Runes broke through the defenses of the Ziwei Divine Fire and merged with it.
As the Fire Runes integrated, the Ziwei Divine Fire gradually became subdued.
Two more days passed.
The Ziwei Divine Fire finally became completely subdued, and Yang Xiaotian formed a blood connection with it.
He extended his hand, and the Ziwei Divine Fire shrank continuously, landing on his palm.
Looking at the Ziwei Divine Fire in front of him, Yang Xiaotian could hardly conceal his joy.
This was the seventh-ranked Divine Flame, after all.
He had deeply experienced the strength of the Ziwei Divine Fire.
Having subdued the Ziwei Divine Fire, he now had three major Divine Flames, and he could soon begin refining second-tribute heavenly grade elixirs.
Moreover, if he faced the Undying Death Qi and Netherworld Ghost Qi again, he would now have a certain suppressive power against them.
Yang Xiaotian stored the Ziwei Divine Fire carefully, and by this time, the Demon Ape had also returned to his side.
The Pyroclastic Lion had been defeated and had fled eleven days earlier.
“Congratulations, young master,” the Demon Ape said, unable to hide his joy upon seeing Yang Xiaotian subduing the Ziwei Divine Fire.
Yang Xiaotian smiled and said, “Let’s go find the Star God Tree!”
The Sea of Stars was vast and boundless. Although the hopes of finding the Star God Tree were slim, Yang Xiaotian still wanted to search for it.
However, with only a few days left before the next high tide, they had to hurry.
The two of them took to the skies and left the island.
A day quickly passed, and while they did not find the Star God Tree, they did come across many treasures. Yang Xiaotian even found a bit of Star God Water.
But just a few mouthfuls, nothing more.
Thus, Yang Xiaotian spent his days searching for the Star God Tree and his nights cultivating on a certain island.
One day, as Yang Xiaotian passed by an island, he encountered many experts from various sects.
“The experts from the Myriad Gods Empire and the ones from the three major Demon Sects are fighting!”
“Although the Myriad Gods Empire has brought many experts this time, they are still weaker compared to the three major Demon Sects. I’m afraid Princess Wan Ning is in danger.”
“Princess Wan Ning is such a delicate beauty. If she falls into the hands of the three major Demon Sects’ experts, I’m afraid she’ll be ravaged to death by hundreds, such a pity!”
“Princess Wan Ning is the most beloved daughter of the Great Emperor Myriad Gods. Surely the experts from the three major Demon Sects wouldn’t dare do anything to her, right?”
“Not dare? Just some days ago, the Corpse Demon Sect and the Nether Sect had the audacity to besiege the Azure God Mansion. Do you think the Corpse Demon Sect would be afraid of the Great Emperor Myriad Gods?”
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian’s expression darkened. He approached the sect experts, handed them a bag of Spirit Stones, and after learning the location where the three major Demon Sects and the Myriad Gods Empire were clashing, he and the Demon Ape immediately rushed there at full speed.
At that moment, on a certain island, experts from the three major Demon Sects were surrounding and attacking the subordinates of Princess Wan Ning.
Indeed, as the sect experts had said, the forces the Myriad Gods Empire brought, although numerous, were still weaker compared to the three major Demon Sects. Under the siege of the Demon Sect experts, the Myriad Gods Empire’s forces were continuously being slain.
