章 163: Chapter 163: Lin Xiu Succeeds
"How could this happen?"
"Xiao Yan already possesses a Heavenly Flame. Doesn't he know that a person's body cannot contain multiple Heavenly Flames?"
"No matter how cautious one is, it's hard to guard against a thief in the family!"
None of the elders present had expected Xiao Yan to covet the Fallen Heart Flame.
All along, their concern was whether Lin Xiu's handling of the Fallen Heart Flame would lead to any evil intentions.
Streams of energy shot toward Xiao Yan.
"Let's go all out!"
Gritting his teeth, Xiao Yan quickly shoved the Ground Spirit Pill into his mouth, covering his arm engulfed in flames, seizing the Fallen Heart Flame.
"You can't swallow it directly. The energy of the Fallen Heart Flame is still very strong at the moment. If you swallow it directly, you'll be burned alive by it."
Old Yao was startled by Xiao Yan's actions. "Use the attacks of those elders to weaken it."
"Yes, Master."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan changed the position of the Fallen Heart Flame and collided it with the incoming energy.
The invisible flames continued to flicker.
Large amounts of Dou Qi energy dispersed and vanished into the air.
Some elders rushed nearby, their bodies suddenly stiffened, their skin turning red like boiled shrimp.
White smoke rose from their heads.
"Flame Soul Separation Technique!"
Lin Xiu pointed his fingers at the Fallen Heart Flame.
Those elders seemed as if they had been rescued from drowning, gasping for air heavily, their eyes flashing with fear.
"Don't come closer. If you're too close, you'll be invaded by the Heart Fire. This kind of Heart Fire is even more terrifying than what we felt in the tower earlier!"
Some elders, having narrowly escaped death, immediately recounted their recent experiences to others.
In just that short moment, they had almost been ignited by the Heart Fire.
Several elders, still shaken, nodded towards Lin Xiu with gratitude.
"Xiao Yan, the gap in strength between you and the Fallen Heart Flame is too great. You should give up. Don't play with fire and end up burning yourself. You already have a Heavenly Flame," Su Qian advised.
One Heavenly Flame alone is already quite tricky; the danger of trying to absorb a second Heavenly Flame into one's body goes without saying.
"Elder Su, I have my reasons. I must obtain the Fallen Heart Flame no matter what. If I can survive, I will definitely repay the Academy in the future," Xiao Yan declared firmly, showing no signs of wavering or giving up.
With his father missing, Xun'er returning to her family, and the Xiao Family threatened by the Misty Cloud Sect in the Jia Ma Empire, the situation was precarious.
To resolve these events, there was only one path: to become stronger.
And devouring Heavenly Flame, evolving Qi Methods, was his path to strength.
"Lin Xiu, you continue to control the Fallen Heart Flame. I'll stop Xiao Yan."
The Fallen Heart Flame was fundamental to the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower; Su Qian would never allow anyone else to take it away from him.
"Yes, Elder."
Lin Xiu agreed readily.
The Green Ox Fire Spirit reappeared, charging straight ahead.
The invisible flames kept distorting, as if they could revert to the state of a transparent fire python at any moment.
"Elder Su, I, Xiao Yan have no intention of being enemies with the Academy. Don't force me!"
Facing a Dou Ancestor, Xiao Yan felt the pressure increase.
"Leave the Fallen Heart Flame, and I can overlook your actions today in helping the Academy deal with external enemies."
Su Qian shouted.
"It's impossible for me to give up the Fallen Heart Flame!"
Xiao Yan clapped his hands together, and green-white flames appeared, blending with each other to form a lotus shape.
"Then don't blame me for being merciless!"
Su Qian mobilized energy, causing terrifying fluctuations that distorted the surrounding space slightly.
He had already sensed a familiar taste from the fire lotus, similar to the energy that had exploded the top of the Qi Refining Tower earlier.
Xiao Yan completed the condensation and threw it directly.
Boom!
The Fire Lotus collided with Su Qian's attack, creating a majestic wave of energy.
The entire area was shrouded in smoke and dust.
Almost in the instant his figure was covered, lightning flashed under Lin Xiu's feet.
He arrived in front of the Fallen Heart Flame.
"An opportunity!"
A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as Lin Xiu pointed fiercely with his fingertips, causing the invisible flame to struggle violently.
"The complete Flame Soul Separation Technique, and yet you still struggle?"
As Lin Xiu's two fingers separated, the invisible flame slowly split into two masses.
The Green Ox Fire Spirit suddenly shrank in size and collided with one of the masses.
A burst of fire erupted.
The Fire Seed at the core of the Green Ox Fire Spirit shattered directly, replaced by a completely new seed.
This Fire Seed had a vague appearance, only its general outline visible.
"With this half of its essence, I can enter the Magma World at the bottom of the tower."
Lin Xiu waved his hand, releasing the other strand of invisible flame.
With its constraints removed, the mass of flame rapidly expanded, devouring the surrounding Flame Energy.
Once again, a transparent fire python emerged.
However, its aura was significantly weakened compared to before.
Fear flashed in its eyes as it glanced at Lin Xiu, then it rushed toward the direction of the Qi Refining Tower on its own initiative.
Whoosh!
A strong wind blew, dispersing the dust.
Everyone saw the transparent fire python, their faces darkening.
"Trouble, this beast has devoured Flame Energy and restored its previous form," Su Qian lamented.
If he had stopped the Fire Lotus, would this scene have unfolded?
At this moment, the Fallen Heart Flame appeared strong on the surface but weakened internally, losing half of its essence. However, due to absorbing the energy of the Fire Lotus, the other elders did not notice any clues.
Even Xiao Yan failed to detect anything amiss.
Only the instigator, Lin Xiu, understood that in just a moment, the Fallen Heart Flame had already weakened by half.
"Xiao Yan, be careful!"
Lin Xiu saw the direction in which the Fallen Heart Flame was moving.
Having unleashed the Fire Lotus twice in succession, Xiao Yan had reached his limit.
Faced with the incoming Fallen Heart Flame, he could only watch helplessly as he was engulfed by it.
"Why did it return to the bottom of the tower again?"
The elders were stunned to see the Fallen Heart Flame carrying Xiao Yan into the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
"Grand Elder, I'll go rescue him. You all hurry and repair the seal."
Upon hearing Lin Xiu's voice, Su Qian's hand halted midway, his gaze unable to catch Lin Xiu's figure.
"Lin Xiu!"
"Don't act rashly!"
"This kid!"
The elders reacted and rushed over one after another, but their speed was still much slower compared to Lin Xiu, who possessed the Three Thousand Lightning Movements.
"What should we do? Why is this kid so impulsive?"
Hu Gan was anxious.
"Let's repair the seal first."
Su Qian furrowed his brow, then relaxed it. When the Fallen Heart Flame enveloped Xiao Yan, the energy fluctuations it emitted were significantly weaker than before.
He didn't think it was a misperception.
"Lin Xiu isn't someone who acts rashly. Perhaps he has confidence in dealing with it. Let's repair the formation first."
The other elders exchanged glances, agreeing with Su Qian's decision.
Throughout the battle, they had also expended a great deal of energy. Now, rushing into the underground magma world, where the Fallen Heart Flame held sway, posed extreme danger.
Lin Xiu followed closely behind, always trailing the Fallen Heart Flame.
With half of its essence in his grasp, he could sense the Fallen Heart Flame's location. Similarly, beneath the lava, there was a faintly similar aura.
As the Fallen Heart Flame dashed forward, within the transparent fire python, Xiao Yan had already fallen into unconsciousness, enveloped by white flames.
Upon reaching a certain location, it finally came to a halt.
The surrounding fire elemental energies converged toward the Fallen Heart Flame.
Lin Xiu found himself within the Fire Spirit's body. Despite the high temperatures around him, it seemed to pose no obstacle.
"Don't wander off. With half of your essence in my possession, I can find you!" Lin Xiu warned before turning and leaving.
"If I remain nearby, it might not dare to go all out against Xiao Yan. I'll go first and obtain the other complete Fallen Heart Flame from Tian Huo"
"When I come back, Xiao Yan should be waking up soon, and Queen Medusa too. With the formula for the Spirit Fusion Pill that I obtained, I should be able to control her."
