Kapitel 166: Chapter 165: Dan Tower VS Soul Hall!
Contents:
The sudden descent of the Seventh Grade Lightning Tribulation fiercely struck the giant finger that Jiang Yun had conjured.
However, the mere Dan Thunder of a Seventh Grade pill had no effect on the imprint. Instead, it was directly shattered and absorbed by the imprint, which then launched its overwhelming power towards the tribulation in the sky.
"Boom!"
This action seemed to anger the lightning tribulation, as if a switch had been flipped. A chain reaction erupted within the thunderclouds, and one after another, silvery-white lightning bolts struck towards the giant imprint.
But none could halt its advance. The imprint bore down fiercely, piercing the tribulation clouds.
With a loud "crash," the thunderclouds, which had been crackling with lightning moments before, completely dissipated into the sky.
Tang Zhen, who had witnessed the entire process, stood in shock, staring at the tightly shut door. He was deeply shaken; Jiang Yun's strength was perhaps even more terrifying than he had imagined.
With such talent and formidable background, the Burning Flame Valley must never become his enemy.
As the Dan Thunder dissipated, Jiang Yun looked at the spinning, jumping blue and red pill in the mountain furnace and nodded in satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, the Fire Buddha Pill shot towards his palm, which had a burst of suction. He then flipped his hand and placed it into a fine jade bottle.
Turning to see the Little Fairy Doctor standing quietly by, he asked gently, "Do you have any questions?"
"Um, none," the Little Fairy Doctor thought for a moment, and finding she understood everything so far, shook her head slowly.
Nodding, Jiang Yun stored away the pill and stepped out of the room. Seeing Tang Zhen and his daughter waiting outside, he said, "Here is the pill!" and casually tossed it towards the approaching Tang Zhen.
Tang Zhen hurriedly caught the pill, opened the jade bottle, and saw the lustrous and richly scented pill lying inside. His eyes reddened slightly.
"Thank you, Master Jiang!" Tang Zhen put away the pill and said gratefully to Jiang Yun.
"It's a mutually beneficial arrangement," Jiang Yun looked at Tang Zhen calmly.
Tang Zhen shivered, took a deep breath, and clenched his fist. The next instant, a puff of silver flame slowly rose from his hand. Within the flames, nine silver dragons could be seen swirling and darting.
"Nine Dragon Lightning Flame!" Jiang Yun murmured, his gaze locked onto the flame.
At the same time, in a desolate void space, filled with faintly scorching mist and illuminated by countless cold starlights, there lay a sensation of slight chill.
In this void, there was a blazing glow, akin to a radiant sun.
Amid the dazzling starlight, a massive dragon, seemingly endless in size, lay dormant. Its eyes were tightly shut, its body twisted and coiled, and an eerie purple-black flame cloaked its immense form, distorting the surrounding space with its heat.
Suddenly, the colossal dragon's eyes opened, and a resounding dragon's roar echoed through the stars.
"Roar~~~"
"What's this?" Jiang Yun noticed the disturbance in the sky and was astonished. He looked up in curiosity.
"What's happening?" Tang Zhen was equally surprised. He sensed his Nine Dragon Lightning Flame in his hand emanating uneasy vibes, the nine dragons' gaze fixed upon the celestial region above.
Fast-moving figures, exuding formidable auras, swiftly traversed the sky, bewildering the residents of Holy Pill City.
"Master Tang," Jiang Yun retracted his gaze from observing Hyun Kongzi and others and calmly indicated to Tang Zhen.
"Oh!" Tang Zhen snapped back to reality, suppressing his curiosity. The three heads of the Dan Tower were all here, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
Tang Zhen glanced at the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame in his hand, determination flashing in his eyes. The next moment, the peculiar flame shrunk into a tiny, dazzling fire seed.
After extreme compression, the fire seed suddenly expanded to the size of one foot, trembling violently before slowly splitting a small, weak flame from its center.
Though the flame was weak, it possessed all the attributes of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.
After separating the sub-flame, the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame seemed exhausted and retreated into Tang Zhen's body to recuperate.
Tang Zhen's face turned slightly pale, and his body trembled.
"Father, are you okay?" Tang Huo Er, who had been closely watching Tang Zhen, quickly supported him, worried.
"I'm fine," Tang Zhen reassured looking kindly at Tang Huo Er.
"Swoosh!" A green pill floated before him as Jiang Yun's voice sounded, "Take this!"
"Thank you, Master Jiang!" Tang Zhen said gratefully and respectfully to Jiang Yun after noting the precious pill's origin.
Swallowing the pill, Tang Zhen beckoned the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame's sub-flame to Jiang Yun and reminded, "This flame, though just a sub-fire, is still a violent alien fire. Our Burning Flame Valley has dealt with it for centuries and can share insights if needed."
"Thank you!" Jiang Yun felt Tang Zhen's sincerity and nodded. To Tang Zhen and Tang Huo Er's amazement, he swallowed the sub-flame.
"It seems I will disappoint Master Tang's kindness." With Jiang Yun's current strength, a sub-fire was no challenge. As soon as it entered his body, the Saint Heaven Magic Flame devoured it.
"Master Jiang truly possesses an extraordinary talent!" Tang Zhen commented hesitantly, smiling wryly.
"Boom—"
Suddenly, a faint muffled sound reached Jiang Yun's spiritual perception from the celestial region. Energy rippled madly, prompting Jiang Yun to softly remark.
"Our transaction is complete. I won't keep you, Master Tang."
"Thank you again, Master Jiang. Should you ever need help, I, Tang Zhen, will not hesitate!" Tang Zhen stood and bowed respectfully.
"Little Fairy Doctor, there's some trouble in the celestial region. I'll check it out." After Tang Zhen left, Jiang Yun told the Little Fairy Doctor.
"Understood!" The Little Fairy Doctor momentarily paused, perplexed as she sensed no anomaly despite her recent soul advancements.
Nodding, Jiang Yun's figure gradually dissipated in the hall.
"Seal—"
Outside the celestial region, the three heads of the Dan Tower, leading four elders, joined forces to seal back the rampaging Three Thousand Burning Flame.
"Phew—"
Seeing the seal complete, the seven elders breathed a sigh of relief. Hyun Kongzi scanned everyone and said solemnly, "Why did the Three Thousand Burning Flame suddenly rampage?"
"I found no anomaly, it seems like an accident!" Elder Tian Lei remarked heavily.
"The energy it gathered over centuries, this time we could seal it back. But next time..." Elder Xuan Yi, deeply worried, commented.
The elders fell silent. They already felt overwhelmed by the rampaging flames' accumulated energy, even cautious as half-saints.
"If necessary, I will seek the Grand Elder's help!" Hyun Kongzi gritted his teeth, a steely resolve flashing in his eyes.
"President Hyun Kongzi, what's happening here?" Just then, Jiang Yun appeared, eyeing everyone.
Jiang Yun's sudden appearance startled them, but recognizing him, they relaxed. They had come to respect Jiang Yun during the past year, with Hyun Kongzi even considering recommending him to join the Little Pill Tower.
"It's complicated," Hyun Kongzi glanced at the celestial region, explaining.
"I hadn't realized the Dan Tower housed such a flame," Jiang Yun remarked in wonder.
"The only solution now is to convene an alchemist assembly. Perhaps we'll find someone capable of subduing the Three Thousand Burning Flame!" Elder Tian Lei suggested after deep thought.
"It's a pity, Jiang Yun, that you already possess an alien flame. Otherwise, you would have been our most suitable candidate!" Hyun Kongzi lamented, recalling Jiang Yun's Saintly Immortal Flame.
Jiang Yun chuckled nonchalantly at Hyun Kongzi's regret.
Just then, a white-robed figure rapidly approached and appeared before them.
"Bad news, Master Hyun Kongzi. Multiple alchemist guilds across Zhongzhou have been attacked by the Soul Hall." The incoming Grand Elder, Qiu Ling, announced solemnly.
"What—"
The news sent shockwaves through the group. Though minor skirmishes occurred, a blatant large-scale assault was unprecedented.
"Soul Hall, do they seek war with Dan Tower?" the fiery-tempered Tian Lei roared furiously.
"Grand Elder Qiu Ling, state the current situation and our casualties," Hyun Kongzi asked calmly.
"Soul Hall launched widespread attacks on various alchemist guilds this morning. We're unsure of the full extent yet," Qiu Ling detailed, understanding the gravity of the situation.
"Tian Lei, take elders and gather fighters. Investigate the attacked guilds. Soul Hall cannot run amok!" Hyun Kongzi ordered, a cold gleam in his eye.
"Don't worry. The headquarters is in your hands. I will handle this swiftly and return!" Tian Lei assured, departing with two elders.
"Grand Elder, gather all Dan Tower's devotees, prepare for battle!" Once Tian Lei left, Hyun Kongzi instructed Qiu Ling.
"Yes!"
Nobody predicted the conflict would escalate for a month, the battle intensifying further.
Zhongzhou was a war zone. The notion of one hall, one tower, two sects, three valleys, and four pavilions from the past seemed ludicrous now.
Daily clashes saw Dou Zuns from both parties fall, alarming the powerful forces standing alongside them as the two juggernauts clashed.
This vendetta exposed the terrifying power of both forces, instilling fear across Zhongzhou.
During this turbulent month, two individuals emerged as focal points: Soul Hall's young master Yun Yi and Dan Tower's guest elder Jiang Yun.
Both were prodigious talents. Jiang Yun, already known as Zhongzhou's top genius for his alchemy, revealed formidable combat prowess. His mysterious flame techniques and unexpected array skills allowed him to slay nine Soul Hall Heavenly Venerates in one fight, earning infamy.
Yun Yi, ruthless in combat, ascribed the moniker "White Robed Death God" for his relentless, deadly efficiency, eliminating over ten Dan Tower Dou Zuns within a month.
This ongoing war between Dan Tower and Soul Hall, with Jiang Yun and Yun Yi at the helm, continues to reshape the power dynamics of Zhongzhou... (End of Chapter)
