Chapter 415: The Child Fire of the Void Swallowing Flame

"To think it is actually a child fire of the Xu Wu Tun Yan; the Soul Hall is truly willing to pay a heavy price!" Xuan Kong Zi looked at the pitch-black flame in Mu Gu Lao Ren's hand and said in surprise.

Yao Chen looked at the flame in Mu Gu Lao Ren's hand, then looked at Xiao Yan. Although this was a child fire, in terms of power alone, it should at least rank in the top ten of the Exotic Fire Ranking. If Xiao Yan were to devour it, the Yin-Yang Dual Flames could grow significantly.

At this moment, a flash of greed also crossed Xiao Yan's eyes. Xiao Yan had a premonition in his heart that he would inevitably have a battle with Xu Wu Tun Yan in the future, and whether he could win that battle would depend on how many Exotic Fires he could devour.

"It seems I have one more reason to kill you!" Xiao Yan thought to himself, then gripped his palm, and a black-and-white flame appeared directly in his palm.

Following the appearance of the Yin-Yang Dual Flames, those flames that were originally paying homage to the Xu Wu Tun Yan child fire immediately changed direction and began to pay homage to the flame in Xiao Yan's palm.

Seeing that those flames had actually changed direction, Mu Gu Lao Ren was suddenly somewhat exasperated. Did this not mean that his flame was not as formidable as Xiao Yan's?

This was a flame he had painstakingly begged for, though it was only for his temporary use; only once he accomplished his task would this Xu Wu Tun Yan child fire truly belong to him.

Of course, it was not just Mu Gu Lao Ren who was unhappy; the Xu Wu Tun Yan child fire in his palm was even more displeased. Although it was a child fire, its main body was powerful, and having grown accustomed to being overbearing, it naturally would not allow another Exotic Fire to ride on its head, so it directly transformed into a giant black flame dragon and let out a roar toward Xiao Yan's flame.

Seeing an Exotic Fire issue a challenge, the Yin-Yang Dual Flames in Xiao Yan's palm naturally became even more enraged. If your main body came over, I might be wary, but you are merely a wisp of child fire—what are you being arrogant about?

The Yin-Yang Dual Flames darted directly from Xiao Yan's palm, transformed into a giant black-and-white flame dragon, and let out a roar toward the black giant dragon that dared to provoke it.

Both giant dragons believed themselves to be the boss, so they began to fight in the sky, constantly biting at each other, both wanting to devour the other.

The abnormal behavior of the Exotic Fires left Xiao Yan and Mu Gu Lao Ren dumbfounded; neither had expected such a strange thing to happen.

In fact, this was not hard to understand; both the Xu Wu Tun Yan child fire and the Yin-Yang Dual Flames possessed powerful devouring abilities.

If the Yin-Yang Dual Flames were to devour this Xu Wu Tun Yan child fire, it could naturally become even more powerful, and becoming an existence in the top five of the Exotic Fire Ranking was not impossible.

As for the Xu Wu Tun Yan child fire, that went without saying; if it devoured the Yin-Yang Dual Flames, it might be able to directly become a legitimate entity, break free from the control of its main body, and become a true Exotic Fire.

As time passed, the battle between the Xu Wu Tun Yan child fire and the Yin-Yang Dual Flames became increasingly intense. In order to achieve victory, both set their sights on the flames summoned by these Alchemists; after all, these Beast Flames were not weak either.

The Alchemists who were refining pills suddenly discovered that their flames had disappeared, and the sudden disappearance of the flames directly led to the failure of their pill refinement.

Listening to the sounds of exploding furnaces, Xuan Kong Zi suddenly felt a headache. How could a perfectly good Pill Gathering turn into such a state!

Xuan Kong Zi leaped up from the High Platform and arrived directly between the two giant flame dragons. The surging Dou Qi within his body transformed into two walls of energy, directly isolating the two flames.

"Would the two of you please withdraw your flames and let the Pill Gathering continue!" Xuan Kong Zi looked at Xiao Yan, then at Mu Gu Lao Ren, and spoke.

Although Xiao Yan also wanted the Yin-Yang Dual Flames to succeed in devouring, he knew that now was not the time, so he could only withdraw his Exotic Fire.

Mu Gu Lao Ren was afraid that the Xu Wu Tun Yan child fire would be lost, so he also withdrew it. After all, this Exotic Fire was only borrowed; if something went wrong, he would certainly be punished.

"Now, continue with the pill refinement!" Xuan Kong Zi looked around and said.

As Xuan Kong Zi's voice fell, those Alchemists did not make much movement, but instead shifted their gazes toward Xiao Yan and Mu Gu Lao Ren, afraid that their flames would start fighting again.

If they started fighting again while they were refining pills and devoured their flames, wouldn't their pill refinement fail again?

Seeing this, Xiao Yan only gave a sheepish smile, then sent the flame in his hand into the Medicine Cauldron and began to refine pills.

Mu Gu Lao Ren did not delay much either; after sending the flame in his hand into the Medicine Cauldron, he began to refine the medicinal materials.

Seeing that both had begun to refine pills, the crowd suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and also began to ignite their fires to refine pills.

Under the intervention of Xuan Kong Zi, the Pill Gathering finally proceeded again.

"Your disciple is actually able to subdue such a miraculous Exotic Fire as the Yin-Yang Dual Flames; he is truly lucky! What surprises me even more is that although the Yin-Yang Dual Flames are miraculous, in terms of power alone, they only rank twenty-first on the Exotic Fire Ranking, while Mu Gu Lao Ren's Exotic Fire, although a child fire of the Xu Wu Tun Yan, is no less powerful than an Exotic Fire ranked tenth. Yet the Yin-Yang Dual Flames were actually able to gain the upper hand; it is truly hard to believe!" Xuan Kong Zi looked at Yao Chen beside him and said with a smile.

"Hehe, there is nothing strange about this. The Yin-Yang Dual Flames can devour other Exotic Fires to become stronger. Before this, it had already devoured quite a few Exotic Fires; even my Bone Chilling Flame did not escape the fate of being devoured, so its power is naturally extraordinary," Yao Chen explained with a smile.

"It can actually devour other Exotic Fires to become stronger?" Xuan Kong Zi was momentarily stunned. Although Exotic Fires could devour each other before, in the end, most of the time both sides would suffer.

"Your Pill Tower's Three Thousand Burning Flame cannot be subdued anyway, so don't be stingy when the time comes!" Yao Chen spoke with a purpose; the Pill Tower had raised the Three Thousand Burning Flame for so long, and it was about to be devoured by Xiao Yan, so he naturally had to lay the groundwork in advance.

Sure enough, upon hearing that Xiao Yan could devour Exotic Fires, a look of hesitation immediately appeared on Xuan Kong Zi's face. If Xiao Yan were only going to subdue it, he would be happy to see it.

But now that Xiao Yan wanted to devour and destroy it, Xuan Kong Zi was truly reluctant. After all, even if you raise a kitten or a puppy, you develop feelings, right?

"What are you still hesitating about? No one in the Pill Tower can subdue this Three Thousand Burning Flame, and we have kept it locked up for so long; it only has hatred for the Pill Tower and wishes it could destroy Sheng Dan Cheng. Don't tell me you've actually developed feelings for it?" The beautiful woman beside Yao Chen saw Xuan Kong Zi fall into hesitation and immediately spoke to persuade him.

"Enough! Stop singing in harmony here! This Three Thousand Burning Flame is becoming more and more powerful; relying solely on seals is no longer enough. Moreover, the people from the Soul Hall clearly have ill intentions this time, so it must be subdued this time, whether it is devoured or otherwise," Xuan Kong Zi looked at Yao Chen and the beautiful woman, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

"However, I will say this in advance: others must try first. If it still cannot be subdued, then it will be left to Xiao Yan to devour!" Xuan Kong Zi continued.

Hearing this, Yao Chen smiled faintly. Relying on these good-for-nothings to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flame was truly a pipe dream!
