In the legends, there were only a few types of Heavenly Fire.
Every type of Heavenly Fire was a fatal temptation to any powerful martial artist, and to alchemists, it was even more desirable.
Not only could Heavenly Fire increase a martial artist's fighting strength, but it was also the best fire for alchemy. It could refine pills of higher quality and purer quality.
Danchen Dao had been famous for hundreds of years. Not only was he an Empyrean level super expert, but he was also a sixth-grade alchemist. He was the most outstanding and famous person in the Southern Wasteland.
He had gone through untold hardships and traveled through countless mountains to find and subdue an Earth-grade fire, the Dark Brown Flame. It was one of the top 36 types of Earth Fires.
Heavenly Fire only existed in legends, and Earth-grade fire was rare.
He had thought that he was one of the luckiest people.
However, when he saw a young man in his twenties actually possess the legendary Heavenly Fire, he was so jealous that he almost went crazy.
A legendary treasure like Heavenly Fire was only suitable for the strongest, only for an outstanding alchemist like him. How could it be ruined by a low-level King?
As the question rang out, Ling Xiao became the focus of everyone's gazes. Their gazes were filled with a fiery passion.
Ling Xiao raised his head to look at the fiery figure in the sky. Even though he hated this kind of unreasonable questioning, he still responded with basic courtesy, "Senior, are you asking me?"
"If not you, then who else?" Danchen Dao said coldly.
Ling Xiao played with the flame and replied, "This is the flame I was born with, not some Heavenly Fire."
Ling Xiao naturally knew what Danchen Dao was planning. Even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't admit that he was using Heavenly Flame. Otherwise, Danchen Dao wouldn't let him off the hook.
"Hmph, whether it is Heavenly Fire or not, I will know once I try." Danchen Dao narrowed his eyes and snorted. He pointed with a finger and a brown flame shot towards Ling Xiao.
The flame was as fast as lightning, and it was simply impossible to defend against.
"Husband (Young Master), be careful!" Cai Xiayue and Poison Scorpion cried out at the same time.
By the time they wanted to help, it was already too late. The flame had already reached Ling Xiao's body.
Ling Xiao didn't have any time to react before the brown flame burned his skin.
Sizzle!
Before the brown flame could harm Ling Xiao's skin and muscles, a blue flame appeared and engulfed the brown flame.
Ling Xiao glared at Dan Chen and shouted, "Senior, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing?
Didn't you say that you were born with this fire?
Just now, I pointed at you with an Earth Flame. Even an Earthly Sovereign would find it difficult to extinguish it. But your little King Rank Flame was able to swallow it. If it isn't a Heaven Flame, then what is it? "Danchen Dao said coldly. His eyes were filled with greed.
Ling Xiao knew that with Danchen Dao's test, he would not be able to keep the secret of his Heavenly Flame.
He looked at Danchen Daoist and said, "So what if I use the Heavenly Flame?
Could it be that Senior would disregard his status and attack a junior like me?
I'm afraid I'll be laughed at by the world. "
He could only retreat in order to advance. He hoped that Danchen Dao would care about his reputation and didn't attack immediately. After all, there were still unknown dangers in Gu City.
"Haha, you have some guts. You dare to talk to me like that?" Danchen Dao laughed wildly. Then his eyes shone brightly. "The Heavenly Flame shouldn't belong to a weakling like you. You don't deserve it. Hand it over and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
After saying that, he opened his hand and directly used his spiritual energy to imprison Ling Xiao.
"Let go of my husband!"
Cai Xiayue was worried about Ling Xiao's safety. Countless golden willow wisps appeared in her hand and swept toward Danchen Dao's face.
Poison Scorpion gritted his teeth and spat out a mouthful of poisonous mist from his mouth. The dense poisonous gas corroded Danchen Dao.
"Light of the Cocoon Flame, move to the side. Otherwise, don't blame me for sending you on your way." Danchen Dao waved his hand and a sea of fire engulfed the two's attacks. An incomparably powerful aura blasted the two far away.
The strength of an Earthly Sovereign and a Heavenly Venerate were not on the same level.
Ling Xiao frowned and shouted, "Old fellow, do you really think you can defeat me?"
"Hmph, you dare to speak to me like that? It looks like you're tired of living." Who was Danchen Dao?
He was the strongest and highest-ranked alchemist in the Southern Domain and the northwest.
Even the famous people of the older generation of the Demon Shadow Sect, the Deity Dao Union, or the Rank 7 sects in the northwest would not dare to speak to him like that.
This youth was reckless and dared to be so disrespectful to him. He originally wanted to spare Ling Xiao's life, but it looked like he could do so now.
Just as Danchen Dao was about to kill Ling Xiao, a huge beast appeared in front of Ling Xiao. A dragon roar soared into the sky.
"Roar!"
Everyone in the vicinity was shaken by this dragon roar to the point they felt dizzy, and their ears were ringing while their vision became blurry. Moreover, a few King Rank martial artists were even shaken to the point of spitting blood.
Danchen Dao, who bore the brunt of the attack, didn't fare too well either. He and the Fire Luan were knocked back dozens of meters, and the blood in their bodies churned. The Fire Luan let out a shrill cry, as if it had encountered a formidable enemy.
It was a blue flood dragon that was dozens of meters long. Its scales were sparkling, and its claws were as sharp as an eagle's. Its two bell-sized eyes radiated a bloodthirsty and violent emotion.
The once foolish Purple Flood Dragon Roar was no more. In its place was a flood dragon with a pure bloodline.
The people nearby looked at the ferocious flood dragon and revealed fearful expressions. They thought to themselves, Good thing I didn't have any plans earlier. This brat actually dared to challenge Danchen Dao. So he had something to rely on.
This was definitely a powerful flood dragon that was at least Rank 6, and it was comparable to an Empyrean powerhouse. Ling Xiao sat on the dragon's back, looking majestically at Danchen Dao and the Fire Luan.
"Old man, I respect you as a senior and don't want to tangle with you, but you actually dared to have killing intent towards me and even hurt my woman and servant. You're courting death!"
Ling Xiao angrily glared at Danchen Dao and shouted, "Xiaolong, get rid of them!"
The blue flood dragon received Ling Xiao's instructions, and with a swing of its tail, it instantly appeared in front of Danchen Dao and the Fire Luan. A giant claw smashed down, and it seemed as if a part of the world was being smashed apart.
Danchen Dao was already a low-level Empyrean, so his strength was naturally extraordinary.
He formed a mysterious seal with both hands, and a world of fire enveloped the area. The brown flames turned into countless Fire Luan that flew towards the blue flood dragon.
His mount, the Fire Luan, was also a low-level Rank 6 spirit beast. As it flapped its wings, countless fire feathers turned into sharp blades that shot towards the blue flood dragon.
Ling Xiao did not stay idle on the dragon's back. He gathered two blue fire dragons in his hands and sent them towards the sea of fire.
Although his fire dragons were not big, they were quite powerful and could actually devour the sea of fire slowly.
The blue flood dragon was even more tyrannical. Its claw directly pierced through the sea of fire, scaring the man and beast into dodging.
Swish!
The blue flood dragon opened its bloody mouth, and a column of water rushed out. The water surged violently and directly broke through the sea of fire, drowning the man and beast.
Danchen Dao and the Fire Luan were washed far away by the water. Danchen Dao's entire body was drenched, and the Fire Luan's fiery feathers were dim. The two looked extremely battered and exhausted.
"A high-level Rank 6 flood dragon!"
Danchen Dao finally realized that this Bite Dragon was not a newly ascended Rank 6 flood dragon, but a high-level Rank 6 flood dragon. Its strength was two ranks higher than theirs.
Danchen Dao was shocked. He never thought that a young man in his twenties would have such a spirit beast to protect him. He thought to himself, "Is this young man from the Central Region?"
He didn't have much time to think before the Blue Flood Dragon pounced over again. Countless giant waves rushed out of its bloody mouth. This time, it was even more ferocious than before. If he was hit by it, it wouldn't be as simple as getting wet.
"Five Direction Cauldron, appear!" Danchen Dao left the Fire Luan with one foot, and a red cauldron appeared above his head.
This was Danchen Dao's cauldron, a spirit artifact level cauldron, the Five Direction Cauldron.
He pointed the mouth of the cauldron in the direction of the waves and slapped the bottom of the cauldron with both hands.
Boom!
The mouth of the cauldron erupted like a small volcano, and the brown sea of fire collided with the waves.
However, the sea of fire could not withstand the waves and was pushed back again and again.
At this time, the Fire Luan transformed into a fiery meteor from another direction and pecked down at Ling Xiao.
"You feathered beast! You dare provoke me? I'll burn you into a featherless beast!" Ling Xiao shouted, and his psychic power blasted out from between his eyebrows.
An invisible sword strike stabbed toward the Fire Luan's beast core.
A spirit beast's beast core normally did not have any defensive capabilities, but a sixth-grade spirit beast core was extremely powerful. Ling Xiao's psychic power was not enough to kill it instantly, so he only managed to make it lose control for a moment and cause it some pain.
Screech!
The Fire Luan was inexplicably injured, and it let out a pained cry. Its huge body swayed uncontrollably as it flapped its flaming wings.
Ling Xiao knew that the Fire Luan would only lose control for a short period of time, so he took advantage of the critical moment and pointed out with his finger.
Whoosh!
A tiny blue beam of light shot toward the Fire Luan.
"Fire Luan!"
Danchen Dao and the Fire Luan had a contract, so he naturally sensed the danger the Fire Luan was in. He immediately turned his head and shouted.
The blue Flood Dragon was already much stronger than him, and now that he dared to split his attention, he immediately suffered the brunt of Tenbin's divine ability.
Pfft!
Danchen Dao was sent flying back hundreds of meters by the sound wave, and blood seeped out of his orifices.
At the same time, the Fire Luan tried to regain control, but the blue flames had already touched its body.
Heavenly fire could burn everything under the heavens.
Although the Fire Luan was of the fire attribute, it could not resist the heavenly fire.
As soon as the flames touched it, the Fire Luan let out a deafening screech and flapped its wings. Its own flames fought against the blue flames, but it was useless.
The Fire Luan dove into the ground, trying to use the moisture to extinguish the flames. But was that useful?
The Fire Luan screeched as it was burned to ashes.
"Dammit, I'll remember you! One day, I'll tear you to pieces!"
Danchen Dao bellowed. He no longer dared to attack Ling Xiao, and dove into the Jade Pavilion.
"You won't have a second chance, Xiaolong, chase after him!" Ling Xiao naturally would not let Danchen Dao go. Today, he must kill him to prevent future troubles.
