Chapter 106: Phoenix True Flame

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Apart from the descending fire phoenix shadow, the whole world of consciousness was changing. At this moment, Huyan Ming was like the god who created the world, standing high up and looking down at everything.

Yi Xiaoshan and Song Chengtian were struck dumb. How could they fight against such mighty power?

Yunxiao’s face flickered, and he cried out loudly, “Stop it! This space of consciousness has gone through too many years, and most of its power has vanished! If you keep wreaking havoc wantonly like this, you will cause the space to collapse and kill us all in here!”

That gave Huyan Ming a pause. As if he had thought of the possibility as well, he gave Yunxiao a surprised look before slowly retracting his soul power. “Am I eligible for two parts now?” he turned and threw the question at Yi Xiaoshan and Song Chengtian.

Both men’s faces had turned livid as they gave no answer. From the power Huyan Ming had demonstrated just now, they knew they could not defeat him. Besides, if they were to leave this place, it was very likely that they would have to rely on his power. So, they had no choice but to accept that in silence.

Huyan Ming sneered, then turned to Yunxiao. “It seems that you are not just an average second-tier alchemist. Who exactly is your master? I don’t believe Xu Han has the ability to cultivate a disciple like you!”

Yunxiao gave him a faint smile. “Why do you ask so many questions? Do you want to share a part with me?”

Qi Zhenzi snorted coldly and said, “If you want a part as well, buy it with your life!”

“Hah,” Yunxiao did not say another word, but he was extremely relaxed on the inside.

Huyan Ming frowned slightly. Although he thought Yunxiao was a bit strange, he did not think much of it. After all, a second-tier alchemist could not pose any threats to him.

Everyone was standing still, looking up at the rapidly falling shadow of the fire phoenix. Finally, after some moment of waiting, a vast phoenix landed on the earth. The ball of throbbing True Flame quickly burned along the outlines of the shadow and, in an instant, blanketed the whole world in a sea of fire.

“Illusion?” Huyan Ming was shocked. The flames around him appeared to be unreal, and he could only feel a shuddering fear from where the ball of True Flame was, which made him want to kneel and worship it.

“What are you doing, boy!”

As the few men were somewhat struck dumb, Sun Xiumei’s cry rang into their ears, and then they saw Yunxiao walking slowly toward the True Flame, one step at a time.

“What am I doing? Claiming the True Flame, of course!” Yunxiao answered with a casual smile, showing no sign of stopping.

“Claiming the True Flame? You really want to die!” While fuming, Qi Zhenzi leaped into the air as a mass of pale blue Primordial Qi emerged around him and gradually converged in his palm, which he threw it at Yunxiao. “The True Flame is not something that a boy as lowly as you can claim!”

Yunxiao narrowed his eyes, and a hint of a sneer emerged on the corner of his mouth as his right hand drew a circle in front of him. Immediately, the whole world changed color, and thousands of clouds began to gather in his palm, while all the Primordial Qi within a few miles around was drained by him. Then, he threw the palm out.

“What!”

Qi Zhenzi turned pale with fright. He could feel that the power of Yunxiao’s palm was far stronger than his. The other men’s faces fell as well, all stunned by the sudden change!

Bam!

Two forces collided, and sure enough, Qi Zhenzi was weaker, and the impact knocked him flying away.

Everyone sucked in a cold breath while Huyan Ming, aghast, cried out at the top of his lungs, “The power to control the space of consciousness! You are just a mere second-tier alchemist! How can you do it!”

With a cold grin, Yunxiao said, “Both of us are alchemists. If you can do it, why can’t I?”

Huyan Ming flew into a rage, and he bellowed, “I am a fourth-tier alchemist, and you are just a mere second-tier alchemist! We are not the same at all! But, since you’ve revealed your strength too early, you are dead meat!” He had decided to kill Yunxiao. “Ten Thousand Thunderbolts, strike this boy!”

Rumble!

Dark clouds began to emerge in the sky while masses of lightning energy crackled and gathered, forming a huge energy mass. For a moment, the sky was flashing with blinding blue light. If struck by such a tremendous force of lightning, even a Martial Grandmaster would have died on the spot!

All the others gave Huyan Ming a startled look and backed away, fearing that the force of lightning might injure them by accident. But, Yunxiao just stood there calmly as he looked up at the sky and cried in a soft voice, “Who allowed you to produce thunder and lightning when I am here? Be gone now!”

Be gone now!

His voice rang straight up into the sky, echoing across the earth. As if his words were the law, the dark clouds and the thunderbolts that veiled the sky fell silent in an instant, and even began to slowly disappear. Before very long, a shaft of sunlight shone through the clouds and landed on the ground!

Puke!

With his power forcibly dispersed, Huyan Ming felt like someone had struck him hard in the head, causing him to cough out a mouthful of blood. “How is this possible!” he screamed in both anger and shock. “Who the hell are you? Why is your soul power stronger than mine!”

Yunxiao narrowed his eyes as he lifted his head and enjoyed the warm sunlight, with golden tadpole texts flashing between his eyebrows. As this place was the condensation of the True Spirited Fire Phoenix’s consciousness, he could use the Great Expansion Divine Technique without any restriction. Under this sky, the strength of his soul was at least above the fifth-tier!

He felt the consciousness of the sky. The connection between his soul and the world was getting closer and closer, and he could now utilize the power of the fire phoenix’s consciousness. “I haven’t felt so powerful in a long time,” he murmured under his breath.

“This boy is just too weird! Let’s kill him together!” Huyan Ming felt a terrifying force driving his soul power out of the connection with this world of consciousness.

Qi Zhenzi bellowed angrily as well, “Use your strongest attacks!”

All four of them immediately rotated their Primordial Qi at maximum speed, and each took out and unsealed their mystic weapons. Meanwhile, Huyan Ming—with his bloodshot eyes, bulging veins on the forehead, and menacing face—was trying his best to stop Yunxiao from communicating with the world of consciousness using his soul power.

“The Divine Thunder of Bluenether!”

“The Holy Saber of Greenfire!”

“Extreme cold energy!”

“The Dark Claws of Rain!”

Four terrifying auras towered into the sky, rushing toward Yunxiao as fast as bolts of lightning. As long as Huyan Ming could cut off Yunxiao’s connection with the world, he would certainly die under the joint attack of three Martial Kings and a Martial Grandmaster!

Yunxiao only smiled lightly, as if he had not seen the attacks, or he thought nothing of them. Suddenly, he raised his right hand. Streams of natural Primordial Qi began to gather from all directions, forming into a long sword in his grip. If one looked at it carefully, one would see that the blade’s surface was carved with the sun, the moon, stars, birds, animals, mountains, and rivers!

“How’s that possible!” Sweating all over, Huyan Ming gasped and screamed, “Why can you still effortlessly control the power of consciousness under my full attack? Who the hell are you!”

Yunxiao paid him no heed. Instead, he looked affectionately at the sword in his hand and mumbled with a smile, “Long time no see, my old friend! Although we are in a space of consciousness, being able to look at you again brings back a lot of memories.”

He lifted the sword up high. There was a cold, serious look in his eyes as he watched the four attacks coming at him and cried out, one word at a time, “Starslash Sword, Reigns Supreme Over the World!”

Almost all the power of consciousness that could be mustered was gathered on the sword. As Yunxiao slashed it out, the whole space began to rumble and become extremely unstable.

Boom!

All four forces were completely devoured by the sword strike, which lost none of its momentum and smashed down hard on the five people. In the next instant, a deafening explosive noise filled the air, drowning all the miserable screams and shrieks.

Yunxiao’s face turned extremely pale, and he could no longer maintain the Starslash Sword, causing it to dissolve into streams of light and vanish from his grip. However, the golden tadpole texts of the Great Expansion Divine Technique on his forehead became brighter and more vivid as they crazily nourished his damaged soul power.

“Not good, this world is about to collapse!”

A look of anxiety came over Yunxiao’s face as he hurried off toward the Phoenix True Flame. If truth be told, nothing would happen if this space of consciousness collapsed, and he would just return to the top of Mount Phoenix. However, the True Flame would also be gone with the space.

After taking a hit from him, Qi Zhenzi and the others were nowhere to be seen. But, Yunxiao did not have time to look for them. He ran as quickly as he could, and after a while, he finally touched the edge of the True Flame. Holding back his excitement, he gently grabbed at it with one hand.

The flame jumped up, as if it were alive, and darted directly into his hand and kindled his arm.

“Ahhh!” An intense pain frightened Yunxiao as the flame penetrated his Primordial Qi shield and burned his flesh. In just the blink of an eye, he was already covered in flame from head to toe, screaming and struggling painfully.

“What the hell is this! Am I going to die here?”

He was horrified to find that the flame not only burned his flesh, but also his soul!

“Impossible! I’m Martial Sovereign Vanquisher! How can I die so easily!”

Yunxiao was scared out of his wits. He would be dead if his soul were consumed by the flame! Paying no more attention to the flame on his body, he quickly sat down and materialized his soul in the Divine Realm Tablet, which instantly saved him from the crisis.

“This is bad! My fleshly body is completely gone!”

He was struck dumb as he stood there in the Divine Realm Tablet and sensed the destruction of his body. What shocked him even more was that he saw flaming clouds begin to form in the sky inside the tablet, which slowly transformed into a phoenix!

As if it had found Yunxiao, the phoenix let out a long cry and swooped down from the sky toward his soul-form, turning the air into a sea of fire as it flew. Soon, the whole Divine Realm Tablet was ablaze.

Yunxiao was completely dumbfounded. Now, he had nowhere to run!
