Chapter 247: The Young Palace Master's Will

The raging flames burned the earth, giving the ruins no chance to retreat at all.

If the Young Palace Master hadn't escaped in time, they might also have been caught up.

The scorching heat already made Chen Yi He feel immense pressure; a moment's carelessness would drag him in.

Originally there were three heavenly lights in the sky; as the heavenly disaster shifted the battlefield, one passed, leaving two.

These two heavenly lights originally just followed the Dragon King and Xiao Xiao Yu, with nothing special about them. But now their function has shown.

"Heavenly Dao Light!" Xiao Xiao Yu shouted loudly. That heavenly light tore through the sky, fell straight onto Xiao Xiao Yu, was absorbed by her, and then completely disappeared.

The heavenly light shining on Xiao Xiao Yu disappeared.

"It seems this is Heavenly Dao's final safeguard for them." Chen Yi He said, unable to stop what was happening.

Soon, the same thing happened to the Dragon King.

That was the baptism of Heavenly Dao Light!

After the baptism, the two Corpse Kings became even stronger!

Chen Yi He even felt as if a person of Heavenly Dao had personally descended!

"Hehe, no matter what light you are, try my Blazing Fire Divine Skill first!" Wu Rong shouted. At this moment, not only his hands, but his whole body was like an iron rod pulled from a furnace!

One palm strike, and all things are burned!

However, Xiao Xiao Yu, empowered by Heavenly Dao Light, no longer feared the blazing fire, and she retorted in kind: "Heavenly Dao Annihilation!"

"Heavenly Dao Annihilation" is the most practical move, wrapped in Heavenly Dao's power, immense in strength, able to cleave mountains and split rivers; what's more crucial is that it has no fixed form—it can be a palm or a fist, with no set pattern, usable for both attack and defense.

It simply relies on the body erupting with Heavenly Dao's power.

Now, after Xiao Xiao Yu was baptized by Heavenly Dao Light, the Heavenly Dao Annihilation she released is even more powerful!

At the instant Blazing Fire Divine Skill and Heavenly Dao Annihilation met, the colors of heaven and earth changed!

For a moment, the sky darkened and the earth dimmed, heaven and earth split apart. Countless sparks like fireflies scattered across half the sky, while pure white light filled the other half.

No sound occurred; the immense power twisted space……

No movement happened; endless light blanketed all dust……

Far away, Chen Yi He and the Dragon King were simultaneously shaken apart, like duckweed in seawater, tossed to and fro by waves……

At this moment time seemed long and tedious; by the time the result became clear, no one knew how long had passed.

In fact, only a snap of the fingers had passed……

"Pfft!" Wu Rong collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood, never expecting his Blazing Fire Divine Skill to be so feeble.

However, Xiao Xiao Yu's fate was worse—she fell into the molten lava! The lava had already covered the Prince's Manor, now reduced to ruins.

Her white dress was burned to nothing, her fair skin scorched black! If not for the lingering Heavenly Dao Light protecting her, she would have been turned to ash outright.

Xiao Xiao Yu's power was completely exhausted! The Heavenly Dao Light on her gradually faded, taken back by the sky.

Heavenly Dao took back its power.

"I won!" Wu Rong lay on the ground, glanced at Xiao Xiao Yu encased in molten glue, and, enduring the pain, raised his arms and shouted.

Indeed, Wu Rong won! Even though the victory came at a painful cost!

But it ended quickly, and neither of them suffered in the middle.

Fortunately, Wu Rong won!

Even though it was a narrow win, it was still a win. This trip, he didn't come for nothing.

Also thanks to Chen Yi He, who drained too much Heavenly Dao Power from Xiao Xiao Yu.

Poor Xiao Xiao Yu, the lava slowly crept toward her, her frail body trembling, the savagery bolstered by Heavenly Dao's power now gone! When the lava reaches her, she will be buried in a sea of fire.

Chen Yi He couldn't help shaking his head; he felt regretful, but it was too late to say anything now.

Just then, a figure shot forward into the sea of fire!

"Young Palace Master..." Chen Yi He asked, puzzled.

"Hehe... well done..." Wu Rong said with a laugh; he actually didn't want to burn Xiao Xiao Yu to death, after all she was innocent, but under such intense confrontation he simply couldn't control his power!

After all, if Wu Rong held back, he would be the one dead! Xiao Xiao Yu would certainly not show him mercy.

What relieved both Chen Yi He and Wu Rong was that the Young Palace Master took action.

Although the Young Palace Master had been seriously injured in the earlier fight with Xiao Xiao Yu, with Wu Rong's help she had largely recovered; even without fighting again, simply rescuing a person from the sea of fire was still quite simple.

The Young Palace Master, bearing no grudge, carried the naked Xiao Xiao Yu out of the sea of fire; at the very moment they escaped, the lava seized the last open patch of ground.

A moment later, Xiao Xiao Yu would have been doomed.

"Well done!" Wu Rong gave the Young Palace Master a thumbs-up.

"Hehe, she's dead—who else should I take revenge on?" the Young Palace Master said with a cold smile. Red dots marked her brow, three petals glowed with red light, making her ever more beautiful and charming.

The Young Palace Master felt a power surge from her body, swirling around her and around Xiao Xiao Yu.

Xiao Xiao Yu's temperature dropped, she stopped trembling, and even fell peacefully asleep.

What the Young Palace Master didn't know was that her inner knot had been undone, so the ancient and mysterious Five Absolutes Power sealed within her by the Palace Master was awakened…… that was her own.

"Mother, thank you…… I understand……" the Young Palace Master murmured, kneeling on the ground with fists clasped, five colored lights radiating from her palms.

Holy light, divine light, powerful light enveloped her and enveloped Xiao Xiao Yu.

"Only by conquering your own selfish heart can you defeat an opponent…… What you want to tell me is that it is not ruthlessness or heartlessness that truly masters the Five Absolutes; on the contrary, tolerance, forgiveness, and understanding are what make the members of the Five Absolutes Palace stronger……

"If you are willing, can I return to the Five Absolutes Palace?"

"Mother, where are you?"

Wu Rong finally could lie down at ease, took a deep breath, "Glad I brought her here……"

Seeing Xiao Xiao Yu defeated, the Dragon King felt a surge of fierce anger; though he had lost consciousness of his former self, he still knew who was enemy and who was friend.

"Chen Yi He! Chen Yi He! Chen Yi He!" the Dragon King growled lowly; his Azure Dragon Blade issued dragon roars, the dragons themselves roaring—those were the dragons of his Dragon Clan!

Chen Yi He is his enemy.
