Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-607

The invisible fire python had suddenly become illusionary in the sky
under a countless number of shocked gazes. While its body became thinner
and illusionary, a cluster of invisible and unusual flame glow, whose
existence could be clearly felt by people, grew increasingly bright at a
certain spot under the huge mouth of the fire python.

Xiao Yan sighed in relief after seeing the large body of the invisible
fire serpent becoming increasingly illusionary. He wiped off the
perspiration that was like a stream on his face. Only after his mind
quietly became relaxed did he feel the searing pain that filled his
entire body. After being in such close proximity with the ‘Fallen Heart
Flame’ earlier, he still ended suffering quite a bit despite being
isolated by the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’.

“There will be a period of time in which the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’
will be in a weakened state after revealing its form. This period of time
would be the golden opportunity for you to snatch it. Originally, I had
wanted others to force it to this state, but it is really unexpected that
you need rely upon yourself in the end.” Yao Lao’s laughter sounded
in Xiao Yan’s heart.

Xiao Yan nodded his head slightly. He focused all his attention on
watching the increasingly illusionary invisible fire python.
Silver-colored glows once again flashed and appeared underneath his feet.

“There is quite a significant difficulty in snatching the ‘Heavenly
Flame’. If it cannot be helped, unleash the strength that you borrowed
from me to the maximum. That will allow your strength to be on par with
Han Feng in a head on collision… although this may expose my existence,
you must definitely get your hands on the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’.”
Yao Lao was quiet for a moment before he suddenly voiced his thoughts.

Xiao Yan hesitated a little when he heard this before slowly nodding his
head. He clenched his fist tightly as he softly spoke in his heart,
“Relax, teacher. You have protected this disciple for so many years. In
the future… it should be this disciple’s turn…”

“Ke ke.”

The old spirit that was hidden within Xiao Yan’s body laughed softly. A
faint warmth caused the spirit to emit a weak glow. He was blind once.
However, the Heavens did not treat him poorly. They did not allow him to
experience the same harm once again. The kind of heart felt pain that
came from being betrayed by one’s kin penetrated deep into his bones.

“Ji!”

The sharp hissing sound once again venerated throughout the sky. Suddenly
the invisible flame that had spread through the sky vanished, appearing
as though it had never existed.

The high temperature in the sky also gradually fell following the
disappearance of the flame that spread throughout the sky. However, no
one paid much attention to this. At this moment, their gazes were all
paused on the spot in the sky where the invisible fire python had
disappeared. At that spot… a cluster of strange ‘Heavenly Flame’
that was around five feet in size was slowly rising.

This cluster of flame appeared to be invisible. However, no matter who it
was that looked at it, they would feel a substance-like unique sense. The
flame appeared to have something that was slowly flowing in it, much like
a spirit.

Although this was merely a cluster of flame from its outer appearance, it
gave people an extremely unusual feeling. This cluster of flame seemed to
possess a human-like intelligence and spirit.

The entire sky was silent. Everyone had a surprised face as they watched
the cluster of invisible flame. Was this cluster of flame the true body
of the ‘Heavenly Flame’?

“Xiao Yan, do it!”

Yao Lao’s low cry suddenly sounded in Xiao Yan’s heart while everyone
was momentarily absent-minded.

Yao Lao voice had just sounded when the wings behind Xiao Yan’s back
were flapped. Finally, his body turned into a flowing light that shot
toward the cluster of invisible flame.

The moment Xiao Yan’s body moved, a wild joy also erupted onto Han
Feng’s face below. The dark-blue flame in both of his hands swiftly
rolled like a tidal wave. With his knowledge of the ‘Heavenly Flame’,
he naturally clearly understood that after having just revealed its true
body, the ‘Heavenly Flame’ would be at its weakest. When would he act
if he did not act now?

“Stop Han Feng!”

Su Qian, who had been paying great attention to Han Feng and the experts
of the ‘Black-Corner Region’ had a sunken expression when he saw Han
Feng’s actions. He waved his sleeves and cried out sternly.

During the time that Han Feng and Xiao Yan were entangled with the
‘Heavenly Flame’ earlier, all the Elders within the Inner Academy had
taken the opportunity to recuperate the Dou Qi in their bodies. Hence,
numerous human figures instantly rushed to the sky when they heard Su
Qian’s loud cry. Dou Qi wings leaped out and they formed a large human
wall at the spot where Han Feng was.

“Gold Silver Brothers, friends from the ‘Black-Corner Region’, lend
me a hand! Han Feng will thank you properly after we succeed!” Han
Feng’s expression also changed a little when he saw the numerous
interceptions. He immediately turned to the various experts from the
‘Black-Corner Region’ and cried out loudly.

“Hee hee, you only need to concern yourself with snatching the
‘Heavenly Flame’. We will help you stop these people!” The Gold
Silver Brothers let out a strange ‘tsk tsk’ laugh. With a wave of
their hands, the large group of human figures behind them rushed out like
a sharp blade that pierced directly toward the hindering web of Elders
from the Jia Nan Academy, twisting it until it was in tatters.

The chaotic great battle in the sky once again erupted as the large
troops from both parties once again gathered.

Su Qian’s expression was dark and solemn as he watched the defensive
web that was broken. He was just about to act when two human figures
flashed and appeared. One was gold and the other was silver. Clearly,
they were the strongest Gold Silver Brothers from the ‘Black-Corner
Region’s’ side.

“Hee hee, Elder Su. Isn’t it just a cluster of flame? Why do you need
to go all out like this…” The gold-robed brother smiled as he spoke
to Su Qian while the silver-robed brother laughed strangely and agreed by
the side.

Su Qian’s gaze was filled with fury as he watched the two people appear
next to him. A moment later, the fury on his face suddenly became calm.
Both of his palms were extended out from his sleeves as his tone became
dark and cold due to its indifference, “Looks like the Jia Nan Academy
has been too nice to the ‘Black-Corner Region’ during these few
years, resulting in all of you climbing onto our heads now. Alright…
quite a lot of time has passed since the great battle back then. Looks
like we need something that will shock and awe. In that case… I will
start with the two of you.”

The surrounding space suddenly began to ripple after Su Qian’s words
sounded. A majestic aura slowly surged out from the interior of the
former’s body. That aura was enormous to the point that no one present
could match it.

The expression of the Gold Silver Brothers also changed a little as they
sensed Su Qian’s frightening aura that was basically raised to the
limit. They crossed their hands and their two auras agglomerated
together. Only then did they manage to endure against Su Qian. Although
they were known to be able to fight with an expert Dou Zong when they
joined hands, the party which would be at a disadvantage when they met
with a more troublesome elite Dou Zong. After all, the gap between a Dou
Huang and a Dou Zong was really too huge…

The entire sky began to vibrate because of these two majestic Dou Qis.
While this was happening, Xiao Yan was the first to arrive at the cluster
where the true body of the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ due to the absence of
anyone stopping him.

Although this cluster that was the true body of the ‘Fallen Heart
Flame’ did not move in the sky, the frightening temperature that it
emitted still caused the surrounding space to be repeatedly distorted.
Even Xiao Yan, who was close to it, had no choice but to use the ‘Green
Lotus Core Flame’ and swiftly form a thick green fire armor around his
body.

With the help of the isolation by the ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’, Xiao
Yan managed to successfully approach the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’. His
gaze passed through the flame armor and eyed the invisible flame that was
within close proximity, appearing as though he could obtain it just by
extending his hand. Even with Xiao Yan’s mental strength, he could not
help but feel his breathing becoming hurried at this moment.

The green-colored flame surged swiftly on Xiao Yan’s hand. Finally, it
agglomerated into a large fire arm. Xiao yan had just controlled it to
grab the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ when the face that was hidden under the
armor suddenly turned a flushed red. His entire body instantly stiffened.

A cluster of hot Heart Flame had strangely surfaced within Xiao Yan’s
body at the spot where his heart was. It immediately unleashed a
recklessly high temperature that was filled with destructive strength.
Its intention was as though it wanted to completely incinerate everything
within Xiao Yan’s body.

The appearance of this Heart Flame seemed to be stronger than any other
prior experiences that Xiao Yan had experienced. However, the Heart Flame
did not help to refine his Dou Qi this time around. Instead, it was
filled with a kind of destructive strength that Xiao Yan had never
experienced before…

“Dammit…” A voice that contained hot air seeped out from the gap
between Xiao Yan’s teeth. The ‘Green Lotus Core Flame’ within Xiao
Yan’s body surged swiftly. Immediately, it firmly wrapped around the
cluster of ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ before the latter’s high
temperature was completely unleashed!

“Be careful. This ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ specializes in summoning
Heart Flames. Such a flame is very hard to prevent. If one is careless,
one would be completely incinerated from inside out.” Yao Lao reminded
solemnly.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. His body did not dare to make the slightest
movement. This was because he had sensed that the closer he was to the
cluster of ‘Fallen Heart Flame’, the hotter and more terrifying the
Heart Flame that appeared in his heart was…

“Chi!”

During the time that Xiao Yan was at a stalemate with the ‘Fallen Heart
Flame’, a ferocious wind suddenly shot over from behind. Xiao Yan’s
heart was cold. He could not be bothered about the standoff with the
‘Fallen Heart Flame’. A silver glow flashed under his feet and his
body suddenly disappeared. It was already over a dozen meters away from
the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ when it reappeared.

The heart flame that was writhing within Xiao Yan’s heart gradually
weakened after having withdrawn by a distance. He turned his head in a
dark and cold manner only to coincidentally see Han Feng who had already
broken through the circle blocking him. Clearly, the attack earlier was
unleashed by him.

Xiao Yan’s eyes narrowed as he watched Han Feng who had charged up and
rushed to where the true body of the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ was. The
green flame in his palm writhed as wisps of dense cold killing intent
flashed across his eyes. This fellow was in such a rush to charge over
but he had no idea that the closer he was to the ‘Fallen Heart
Flame’, the more dangerous it was. At that time, it would be the best
opportunity to take action to kill him!

“Xiu!”

A wild joy involuntarily surfaced on Han Feng’s face as he looked at
the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ in such close proximity. At this moment, he
no longer had any mood to be bothered about Xiao Yan whom he had forced
to withdraw. As long as he grabbed the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’, it was
possible for him to swiftly leave this place, hide himself and refine it.
Once his refinement succeeded, forget about Su Qian, even that old
headmaster of the Inner Academy would not be able to do anything to him
should he return!

“The ‘Fallen Heart Flame’ is mine!”

Han Feng’s body flashed and charged into a radius of five meters from
the ‘Fallen Heart Flame’. The wild joy in his eyes had yet to
completely disappear when his body suddenly stiffened just like Xiao
Yan’s did earlier!

“Bang!”

The moment Han Feng’s body stiffened, Xiao Yan’s body disappeared
from the distance in a lightning-like manner. Only the faint sound of
rolling thunder resounded across the sky.

The expression of the stiffened Han Feng also changed the instant that
the rolling thunder sounded!
