Chapter 601: Chapter 595 Nanming Leaving Fire Array

After the competition between the two races, Ye Xuan’s reputation swiftly spread among the Shadow Demon Clan. Although Ye Xuan was a human, it did not affect his popularity. For the people of the Shadow Demon Clan, the fact that a human slave like Ye Xuan could defeat the young generation of the Flame Demon Clan greatly boosted their pride.

After that battle, Ye Xuan’s cultivation had somewhat loosened, mainly due to the Human Emperor’s Scepter, which had absorbed a considerable amount of energy. Although most of this energy had gone to the Human Emperor’s Scepter, a small part still remained in Ye Xuan’s body.

Over the following month, Ye Xuan was immersed in intensive closed-door cultivation. This month of spiritual practice showed quick results, and his cultivation finally reached the level of a Fifth Grade Martial Venerate.

However, for the current Ye Xuan, cultivation was no longer too important—at least, it was not the decisive factor in his strength.

Still, the increase in cultivation did enhance Ye Xuan’s strength in various aspects.

In a huge stone room with dim lighting,

Ye Xuan held his breath and concentrated, his eyes sparkling. Thin streaks of electricity emerged from his pupils, shining brightly in the dimly lit room.

Extending his consciousness, Ye Xuan summoned the Xuanbing Cold Flame and the Molten Lava Earth Core Fire in front of him. On the other side, he took out the Human Emperor’s Scepter and allowed his soul power to seep into it.

The interior of the Human Emperor’s Scepter seemed boundless and empty, vast and infinitely mysterious.

Ye Xuan’s soul power was quickly devoured by the power of the Human Emperor’s Scepter.

"Indeed worthy of being an Ancient Saint Artifact..."

Ye Xuan’s eyes brightened slightly. The Human Emperor’s Scepter still had some mysterious aspects, and fully restoring its power would be a significant aid.

"Young man, it’s too early to be surprised now. You haven’t even seen a tenth of my capabilities," came the voice of the Artifact Spirit from within the Human Emperor’s Scepter.

"Other than absorbing True Yuan, I really haven’t discovered any other use for you," Ye Xuan said noncommittally.

"That’s because you haven’t seen enough."

The voice of the Artifact Spirit sounded quite disgruntled, "Back in my glorious days, I was an object of worship, watched by countless people. If it weren’t for my existence, whether humanity could have won that interspecies war is still uncertain."

"Alright, talking big is not as good as showing it. If you’re so powerful, at least demonstrate a trick or two for me to see," Ye Xuan knew this old man must be holding back and decided to provoke him a bit.

"Lack of education is indeed scary."

The Artifact Spirit’s tone carried a hint of disdain, "Look at these two groups of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fires; do you know they can never truly merge and become one?"

"Of course, I know that. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fires are not ordinary flames. Each possesses its own spirit. Merging them into one requires a complete fusion of the spirits of the two flames, which is not an easy task," Ye Xuan casually said.

"I can do it."

The Artifact Spirit spoke with a hint of arrogance.

"You can?"

Ye Xuan’s eyes suddenly lit up. If these two fires could be completely merged into one, the resulting power would be incomparable to its current state, perhaps even rivaling the strange wonders of the continent.

"I certainly can, though it’s a bit troublesome to explain,"

the Artifact Spirit shifted the topic, "Inside the Human Emperor’s Scepter, there is a sealed Fire Refining Array. Using the power of this array to completely merge these two types of Spiritual Fire is not difficult."

"However, the key issue is that this Fire Refining Array was created by the Human Emperor himself; thus, I estimate no one knows how to activate it."

"That’s not necessarily true, let me give it a try."

Ye Xuan didn’t think he was inferior to the Human Emperor. Ordinary people would not dare to compare themselves with the top human experts of ancient times, but Ye Xuan was different—as a Heavenly Realm Martial God, the Human Emperor was nothing special in his eyes.

"Alright, since you are so persistent, go ahead and face the setback."

The Artifact Spirit didn’t mince words; he, too, wanted to see Ye Xuan fail.

"I’ll connect the location of the array with your soul power. Whether you can accomplish anything depends on your own ability."

As soon as these words fell, Ye Xuan suddenly felt a shock to his soul. Inside the seemingly endless void of the Human Emperor’s Scepter, stars suddenly began twinkling, and Ye Xuan’s soul power ultimately landed on a crimson array, engraved with various bizarre and profound runes.

"This array is called the Nanming Leaving Fire Array; it’s deeply unfathomable. Even I can’t understand it. If you can’t handle it, say so early. Otherwise, trying to forcibly operate the array might backfire, and I won’t be responsible for whatever happens!" the Artifact Spirit preemptively warned Ye Xuan, clearly not optimistic about his capabilities.

"I know."

The profound arrays often contained marvelous mysteries, and the top arrays, much like Holy Artifacts, possessed an Array Spirit.

If one became too engrossed in the array, the mind could quickly exhaust, and even unknowingly sustain damage to the soul’s origin.

"I didn’t expect the Human Emperor to be such an array prodigy."

After observing the Fire Refining Array, Ye Xuan’s eyes quickly sparkled with a trace of brilliance. The array indeed had its ingenious aspects; otherwise, it would not possess functions beyond even his expectations.

However, the ingenuity of the array was just one aspect; the most marvelous part was that the Human Emperor had sealed the array inside the Human Emperor’s Scepter. Relying on this Ancient Saint Artifact allowed the array to exhibit a hundred percent of its power.

"Do you understand it?"

The Artifact Spirit’s voice carried a mix of disbelief; he couldn’t believe that Ye Xuan, a green youth, could unravel the essence of the array so quickly.

Without responding to the Artifact Spirit’s doubt, Ye Xuan directly moved his hands. His soul power inside the Human Emperor’s Scepter condensed into a soul body, identical to his physical form. His hands then sealed, fingers continuously tapping, casting beams of light that landed on twelve specific points of the Fire Refining Array.

With the connection of the twelve beams of light, Ye Xuan seemed to have completely bridged the link to the Fire Refining Array, and the obscure and difficult runes on the array gradually lit up one after another.

Boom!

At the center of the array, intensely hot fluctuations spread out. Amidst the wild surging of the firelight, a large tripod completely constructed from flames slowly rose.

Once the Fire Tripod appeared, it quickly solidified, emanating extremely ancient fluctuations. Inside the tripod, which resembled a piece of chaos, one could only see faint swirls turning, swallowing the surrounding intense energy.

"Is this... the Flame Spirit Tripod? Did this kid actually succeed?"

The Artifact Spirit’s voice was filled with disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost. What kind of freak was this kid?
