Chapter 223: Chapter 220 Molten Lava Earth Core Fire

Roar!

The Exotic Beast’s ferocity seemed to surge after its missed attack, as it leapt into the air, claws bared, lunging toward the two of them.

Seeing this, Ye Xuan quickly pivoted, adopting an elemental defensive posture. He stomped the ground forcefully, and domineering arcs of lightning, like spirit serpents, writhed around his feet. In an instant, majestic lightning serpents radiated out from under him, forming a resplendent Array of light!

Thunder Absolute Array!

The Thunder Light Formation encased Ye Xuan and Mu Yan within it, and as the Exotic Beast’s sharp claws slammed into the dazzling electric light, a sizzling noise erupted, with sparks and lightning canceling each other out, scattering in all directions.

"I’ll hold off this Fire Beast; you go for the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire!"

At that moment, Mu Yan also activated her dark True Qi, her hands Sealing a rune; a skeletal Light Seal began to rapidly coalesce in her palm.

"Are you sure you’re up to it?"

Ye Xuan was still worried—the Exotic Beast was no small threat, and whether Mu Yan had the strength to fend off the Demon Beast was very much in question.

"If I’m not, I still have to be—we can’t keep dragging this out," Mu Yan declared, teeth clenched.

Hearing this, Ye Xuan’s expression darkened slightly. Indeed, they couldn’t drag this out any longer. His eyes suddenly brightened, and he flipped his hand, taking out the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl, "I’ll lend you this Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl. I saw it was pretty powerful last time; help me buy some time."

With that, Ye Xuan tossed the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl to Mu Yan and then cleaved his sword vertically at the Red Exotic Beast, shocking it away.

Mu Yan was surprised that Ye Xuan would hand over the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl so readily, but now was clearly not the time for her to hesitate. Receiving the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl, she immediately began to unleash its power. In an instant, gloomy energies emanated from the pearl, and a gigantic, ferocious ghost face rapidly took shape in front of her.

"Go!"

Mu Yan waved her hand over the surface of the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl, and that sinister ghost face suddenly soared forward, opening its ghastly maw to bite into the Red Demon Beast, swiftly entangling it.

Meanwhile, Ye Xuan had reached the Light Shield, his gaze as focused as it had ever been.

"Thunder Cut!"

Ye Xuan leaped into the air, delivering a swing with his sword. Lightning converged on the sword light, seemingly focused into a point. With a single strike, the Sword Qi became intensely condensed, slicing a smooth cut through the air.

Pff!

The Sword Qi cut into the colorful Light Shield with massive destructive power. In the split second of the Sword Qi’s explosion, a crack appeared on the multicolored Light Shield; in the next moment, the crack spread rapidly, climbing up the Energy Shield, and finally, with a sharp crackle, it burst open!

As the Energy Shield shattered, a shockingly scorching wave erupted from the heart of the flame, sweeping through the Fire Refining Tower in an instant. Terrifying heat waves immediately filled the entire tower!

The intensely burning flames, like a dazzling sun, kept releasing astonishing fiery energies, and within those energies seemed to exist an extremely subtle hint of spiritual intelligence.

"Indeed, as expected of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, if it could be properly cultivated, it wouldn’t be too surprising for it to develop its own consciousness in the future."

Ye Xuan’s figure suddenly moved, arriving in front of the flames and reaching out directly towards them.

Whoosh!

Instantly, his mind was flooded with a boundless ocean of blazing fire, violent and unruly flames surged wildly within it.

The moment his palm touched the flame, streaks of information seemed to flash across Ye Xuan’s mind. Amidst the endless heat, there was a cluster of spirit resembling chaos, within which the consciousness was still in its embryonic form.

This Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire was named Molten Lava Earth Core Fire.

Hiss Hiss Hiss!

The fire’s luminosity suddenly intensified, quickly burning Ye Xuan’s True Qi on his hand to exhaustion, forcing him to retract his palm.

"What happened?"

Seeing this scene, Mu Yan, who was trapping the Fire Beast with the Yin Spirit Ghost Pearl, couldn’t help but ask. She worried that while her side was secure, the task Ye Xuan had at hand—to tame a type of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire—might truly be easier said than done.

"It’s nothing."

Ye Xuan shook his head and then his eyes narrowed, prepared for such a situation. His hands suddenly formed strange seals, and a blue medicinal powder appeared between his palms. As he made the seals, the blue powder scattered over the flames.

A bizarre blue glow, mixed with strange runes, emerged from Ye Xuan’s hands. The method he was using to tame the fire was called the Heavenly Burning Refining Qi Skill. This spell had even tamed Spiritual Fires that had developed their own consciousness. Using it on the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, whose spiritual wisdom was yet to fully form, was admittedly an overkill.

As the blue powder fell and the blue runic light from Ye Xuan’s hands enveloped the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, it seemed to have a significant restraining effect. Quickly, the originally extremely hot fluctuations were suppressed.

The diminishing of the hot fluctuations brought a quick smile to Ye Xuan’s face. Things were going smoother than he had expected. If he could successfully capture the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, it would undoubtedly greatly benefit his strength.

However, just as Ye Xuan thought he was about to subdue the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire, suddenly, the ground beneath his feet began to shake, and the shaking grew more intense.

"What’s happening?"

Ye Xuan’s expression changed. He felt the violent fluctuations coming from beneath the ground and immediately ceased his effort, retreating. In the next moment, the central area of the Fire Refining Tower, previously covered by the Light Shield, suddenly exploded, a terrifying flame bursting from underground. A thick column of scorching fire shot up to the sky, breaking through the top of the Fire Refining Tower.

The firelight instantly painted the entire sky above the Fire Refining Tower, while countless flame-like clouds quickly moved, swirling around a certain point, and faint sounds of wind and thunder could be heard, creating a magnificent spectacle.

Such terrifying commotion also caused the originally dark Wildfire Sect to light up with a vast expanse of firelight. The disciples of the Wildfire Sect, who had been asleep, were left dumbfounded upon seeing this scene.

At that moment, Li Tong, who was tracking the Flood Dragon, turned to look back, his face drastically changing. The place surrounded by countless fiery clouds was precisely the location of the Fire Refining Tower he was supposed to guard.

"Luring the tiger away from the mountain, damn it!"

Li Tong suddenly realized, a mix of shock and rage flooded him, disregarding everything else. He stomped his foot fiercely, his body transformed into a grey light, and he shot toward the Fire Refining Tower at an incredible speed.
