Chapter 241

A Primordial martial artist's perception of danger is far beyond that of ordinary martial artists.

"This is..."

The moment that 'Big' character-shaped fire seal rippling with colorful light entered their eyes, the pupils of Cheng Yuan, Zhu Zhu Junwen, and Shi Shi Jian shrank to the size of needle points at almost the same instant.

A long-lost feeling of heart palpitations pierced into the hearts of the three like an ice pick.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle...

Wherever the fire seal passed, even the void was scorched and distorted by that extreme high temperature.

A scorched smell even permeated the air.

On Cheng Yuan's old face, the grin that had been so incredibly satisfied just a moment ago was now completely frozen.

There was simply no extra time for them to think.

The next instant.

"Explode!"

A cold, low shout exploded like a thunderclap.

In the suddenly shrinking pupils of the three Primordial martial artists, that fire seal rippling with colorful light erupted violently, like a volcano that had been suppressed for thousands of years finally finding an outlet.

Boom—!!!

Scorching fire waves, wrapped in crimson-gold flames, surged out like magma, instantly sweeping across the entire peak.

Cheng Yuan, Zhu Zhu Junwen, and Shi Shi Jian were too close to the fire seal and had no time to dodge at all.

The figures of the three were completely swallowed by the violent flames at almost the same instant.

Looking from afar, the entire peak seemed to have truly turned into an erupting volcano.

Crimson-gold pillars of fire shot into the sky, dyeing the sky above the peak a burnt dark red.

"Hiss..."

Standing at the boundary of the Eastern Peak, Liu Liu Qingyu looked at the terrifying scene before her, which was like a natural disaster, and couldn't help but gasp.

Those star-like eyes, which were usually calm, were now full of distraction and horror; she then suddenly tapped her feet and her figure retreated violently.

Even though they were far apart, that scorching heat wave still made her feel as if she were placed in magma.

The hem of her moon-white dress was curled and scorched by the high temperature.

If she had retreated a few steps later, she would have even been in danger of being swept into this fire wave.

Before coming to the peak, she had asked Jiang Ye what means he would use to snatch the Primordial Qi.

Jiang Ye had only said faintly to help him obscure the view of the peak.

He would make his move when the time came.

And then, she saw this world-destroying scene before her.

"Is this really a move that a Divine Qi Realm martial artist can execute..."

Liu Liu Qingyu's star-like eyes were full of unbelievable horror, and her full chest swayed with an astonishing arc in the air as her emotions surged.

This terrifying power made her even start to suspect that those three Primordial martial artists might actually die...

A Divine Qi Realm martial artist killing a Primordial one?!

Just as this absurd yet undeniable thought flashed through her mind, this Peak Master Liu, who had always been as calm as a lake, felt her teeth tremble and almost bit her own tender red tongue.

She subconsciously looked toward the gray-clothed figure in the distance.

She saw Jiang Ye, his body shrouded in a layer of crimson-gold fire divine qi, actually stepping into the peak unhurriedly against the scorching fire waves that were still churning and raging.

"The power is not bad."

Jiang Ye felt the scorching fire waves still roaring around him, nodded slightly, and a flash of satisfaction crossed his eyes.

This fire seal was the Three-Qi Fire Seal he had executed using the Great Sun Heavenly Flame True Qi as the main component, supplemented by Wood-element True Qi and Water-element True Qi.

Even though he used the same-source Great Sun Heavenly Flame True Qi as an anti-fire outer shell, he could still clearly feel the terrifying high temperature of this fire wave.

As for why he didn't use the Five Elements True Qi to execute this 'Burning Heaven Flame Explosion Seal'...

Jiang Ye was purely afraid that the power would be too fierce and would burn the Primordial Qi away.

He looked up at the peak, where the six wisps of Primordial Qi, as thin as hair and pure white without a flaw, were floating gently in the churning fire waves, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Fortunately, it hadn't been burned away.

If not now, when to take the Qi?

Jiang Ye tapped his feet violently, and his figure streaked toward the peak like a gray shadow.

"My God..."

"This... this..."

"What on earth is going on..."

The disciples of the Red Flame Sect, Ten Thousand Flows Sect, and Cangyue Sect all gasped and retreated violently.

Everyone's face was written with unbelievable horror.

They were a bit far from the peak and only saw the white, misty water vapor suddenly appear, followed by this violent fire wave like a volcanic eruption sweeping directly across the peak.

Among these three sects, there were several Divine Qi Realm martial artists.

But even they felt heart-pounding and cold-backed when facing this monstrous fire wave.

Suddenly.

A Divine Qi Realm martial artist of the Red Flame Sect suddenly looked up and laughed loudly, his face full of flesh once again piled with confidence and certainty: "Hahahahaha, this must be the move of our Elder Cheng."

"With such a domineering Fire-element heavenly power, looking at the entire Heavenly Yunfeng, who else but Elder Cheng could execute it!"

The other disciples of the Red Flame Sect came to their senses upon hearing this, and the fear from just a moment ago was swept away, replaced by fanatical excitement:

"That's right!!!"

"With such a terrifying fire wave, only our Elder Cheng could possibly execute it!!!"

"Elder Cheng's divine power is invincible!!!"

The cheers of the Red Flame Sect disciples rose and fell, while the disciples of the Ten Thousand Flows Sect and Cangyue Sect looked at each other, their faces suddenly becoming extremely ugly.

Then wouldn't their Elder Zhu and Elder Shi be in great danger?

Under the nervous and uneasy gaze of everyone.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Three muffled, thunder-like explosions sounded one after another within the violent fire waves.

Immediately following—

Three surging Primordial Divine Qi erupted like a gale, shaking away most of the violent fire waves at the peak.

Everyone finally saw the scene at the peak clearly.

Then, everyone's pupils shrank violently.

Especially the Red Flame Sect disciples who had been cheering excitedly a moment ago; it was as if they had been strangled by the throat at the same time, their cheers stopped abruptly, and they stood there dumbfounded on the spot.

What had they just seen...

They saw Elder Cheng Yuan of the Red Flame Sect, his red robe already burned to nothing, revealing large patches of scorched black flesh, faintly emitting a burnt smell.

Most of his hair had been burned away, and his eyebrows were burned completely clean; the bald brow bone made that already fierce old face look both ferocious and ridiculous.

Where was there any demeanor of a Primordial martial artist left?

Elder Zhu Zhu Junwen of the Ten Thousand Flows Sect and Elder Shi Shi Jian of the Cangyue Sect were no better off; the robes on their bodies were burned to tatters, and their exposed flesh was scorched black and red in patches.

The three Primordial martial artists who had been calling the wind and rain on Heavenly Yunfeng for so many years now all looked so disheveled and ridiculous.

However, this was not the most exaggerated part.

In the near-dazed gaze of everyone.

An old man dressed in simple gray clothes unhurriedly collected the last wisp of Primordial Qi at the peak into a green jade bottle.

He lowered his eyes to look down and swept a glance at everyone.

Finally, he let his gaze fall on Cheng Yuan's face, where the eyebrows were burned away and ridiculousness and ferocity were intertwined, and he smiled faintly:

"Elder Cheng, congratulations on your successful name change."

"From now on."

"You are called Yuan Cheng."
