Chapter 130

"Yun Ling is a Beast Tamer, and she herself is a powerful Martial Emperor. Her two spirit beasts are not only Demon Emperors but also possess the bloodlines of divine beasts; their combat power is terrifyingly boundless!"

After hearing these words,

Chu Yan was completely stunned on the spot.

So, everything the Ancestor said was true.

In the current Chu family, a Saint-level physique really doesn't count for much;

there also exist Emperor-level and God-level physiques!

"Let's go, let's go! It's been a long time; this time, no matter what, we must have a good fight!"

Chu Zhan hooked his arm around Chu Yan's shoulder,

pulling him toward the martial arts arena.

Even though he had now become a Martial Emperor,

his warlike personality had not changed.

"Why didn't Xiuran come?"

Chu Yan asked.

He wanted to see just how strong the divine ability that even the Beast God praised really was.

"Ever since that guy created that divine ability, the Beast God bestowed a dragon scale upon him. Right now, he is in the middle of comprehending his own divine ability and Dao techniques!"

Chu Zhan said.

If it were just ordinary cultivation, it wouldn't matter,

but they could not casually disturb someone comprehending divine abilities and Dao techniques.

Not long after,

a powerful battle erupted on the martial arts arena.

Chu Yan unleashed his three Heaven-level strange fires,

the scorching temperature melting the very space itself.

He did not use the "Heavenly Void Flame"; the power of the divine fire was too great. Even the ancient ancestors of the Spirit Void Grotto were burned by it, and a Martial Emperor would likely be incinerated into nothingness in an instant!

A sparring match between his own clansmen didn't call for such measures!

"Chu Yan, be careful! I'm going to unleash my strongest divine ability!"

Chu Zhan let out a low roar,

and the "Hong" character punch of the Eight-Character Divine Fist erupted.

The brilliant fist imprint pressed down across the sky like a massive divine mountain.

"What a terrifying fist technique!"

Chu Yan exclaimed.

He immediately stopped holding back,

and the Purple Star Heaven Fire, Nine Nether Heavenly Demon Fire, and Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame merged into a three-colored lotus.

"Take this move: 'Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus'!"

Boom!

With a loud explosion,

the fist imprint and the lotus detonated.

A brilliant and dazzling light erupted,

illuminating the entire martial arts arena,

while the terrifying energy surged back, rushing toward Chu Yan and Chu Zhan.

Pfft!

Chu Zhan spat out a mouthful of blood,

while Chu Yan's body staggered back several steps, the Qi and blood within him churning incessantly!

But at that very instant,

Chu Yan sat cross-legged on the ground,

his eyes tightly shut.

"Has he gained some insight?"

Chu Zhan and the others were surprised.

On the other side of the martial arts arena,

Elder Yao and Ye Zhixin had also watched the entire battle.

"The Chu family has truly risen!"

Looking at so many young Martial Emperors and Martial Saints,

Elder Yao sighed with emotion.

However, Ye Zhixin also shook her head and said, "Compared to the Human Realm, perhaps they have indeed risen!"

"But don't forget, there are still existences like the Forbidden Lands!"

"The Forbidden Lands are filled with experts; even Martial Gods are not few in number. By comparison, the Chu family's foundation is still significantly lacking!"

If one were to set aside the Beast God, that peerless expert,

the gap between the Chu family and the Forbidden Lands would be a hundred thousand miles!

"But at least this is unprecedented throughout the ages, right!"

"It's a pity, though! The Young Master's cultivation technique, the 'Nine Heavens Burning Fire Art', only has the upper volume, which can at most cultivate one to the Martial Emperor realm. If the middle and lower volumes could be found, the Young Master's future achievements would be beyond what even we could imagine!"

Elder Yao sighed as he looked at Chu Yan sitting there.

Without a doubt,

the method of absorbing strange fires was an extremely suitable cultivation path for Chu Yan.

"Elder Yao, where did you obtain this technique?"

Ye Zhixin asked.

"The Undying Fire Sea!"

"What? That deathly forbidden zone?"

"That's right. Back then, in order to search for strange fires, I went to that place, and as a result, I discovered this technique on a stone tablet within the Undying Fire Sea!"

"If it's that place, then we have a problem!"

Ye Zhixin sighed.

Although the Undying Fire Sea is not a Forbidden Land, it is exceptionally terrifying.

Those who enter do not lose their physical bodies,

but they are invaded by the fire spirits within, forever turning into undying fire people!

It is said that even Martial Emperors from the Hell Gate have fallen within it!

"However, I feel that with the Young Master's strength, he should be able to venture there. After all, he is someone who has mastered divine fire!"

"His combat power is also beyond what we can imagine!"

Ye Zhixin frowned.

That place was too dangerous.

If something happened to Chu Yan while he was there...

Through the great battle with Chu Zhan,

Chu Yan had fallen into an epiphany.

In fact,

in the few years before returning to the Chu family, he had experienced hundreds of great battles.

Although he had the Purple Star Heaven Fire bestowed by the Beast God to save his life,

unless it was a life-or-death crisis,

he never used the Heaven Fire,

because he was worried it would attract Martial Emperors from the Hell Gate.

Suddenly, his eyes opened,

firelight shooting from his pupils.

Subsequently, a cyan flame rose from the center of his brow;

it was none other than the divine fire—the Heavenly Void Flame!

Chu Zhan and the others, who were standing not far away guarding him, immediately had their expressions change.

The moment the divine fire appeared,

they actually felt a sense of hair-raising dread!

"Damn, what kind of flame is this?"

Chu Zhan was greatly alarmed.

He could clearly feel that under this flame, he would be completely powerless to resist!

"In the name of the Flame Emperor, with the divine fire as the guide, I command all the Heaven Fires of the Human Realm to return to their positions!"

Chu Yan shouted loudly,

his voice rolling like thunder,

resounding throughout heaven and earth!

When his voice rang out,

six Heaven Fires of different colors erupted with sky-piercing firelight across various parts of the Human Realm.

Three of them flew over from three different directions in the Human Realm.

However, that sky-piercing phenomenon alarmed the Hell Gate Martial Emperors who were patrolling.

The moment they discovered the Heaven Fires,

some Martial Emperors not far from the fires suddenly struck,

moving to suppress them.

Because even for a Martial Emperor,

a Heaven-level strange fire is a rare treasure.

If one could subdue it,

it would inevitably enhance their own combat power!

The other three were located within the Hell Gate.

"Eh? What happened?"

The First Gate Master, Wu Fu, looked in astonishment at the strange fire in his hand.

It was a spherical strange fire burning with flames, emitting tiny specks of starlight!

It was the "Heaven Star Flame," ranked ninth among the Heaven Fires!

Yet, at this moment, he actually perceived that the "Heaven Star Flame" in his hand seemed to be breaking free from his control, flying away into the sky!

"How could this change happen?"

"The Heaven Star Flame had long since been refined by me!"

Just as he was in shock,

the Heaven Star Flame suddenly broke free from his palm and flew out of the Hell Gate.

At the same time,

the two other Heaven Fires refined by the other two Martial Emperors also broke free from their control and flew toward the horizon!

This left them feeling horrified.

Could something that had already been refined just run away?

"Pursue! I want to see exactly who is playing tricks behind my back!"

The First Gate Master, Wu Fu, was furious,

and he took several Martial Emperors to chase after the direction the Heaven Fires had flown.

"To be able to perform such a feat, in the Human Realm, it should only be that powerful Beast God from the Chu family, right?"

Some experts from the Nether Hell who were guarding the Hell Gate said in deep voices.

Martial Emperors shouldn't have such means!

"Damn it, that Chu family Beast God is really becoming more and more excessive! When will our Holy Realm experts finally be able to descend?"

"What's the rush? You know as well as I do that the stronger one is, the more difficult it is to descend into the Human Realm. Didn't Senior Bei Weng say that the experts descending this time are coming to deal with the Forbidden Lands?"

"And within the Forbidden Lands, there are existences at the Half-Step Heaven-Opening realm sitting in command!"

"Hiss? You mean to say that there will be Half-Step Heaven-Opening realm experts descending from the Holy Realm?"

"Nine times out of ten, that's correct!"

"We just need to wait quietly. Of course, if you want to court death, feel free to go and test the bottom line of the Chu family's Beast God!"

Everyone dared not make a move.

If the opponent's strength was not much different from theirs,

they wouldn't mind fighting them,

but the opponent was at the Longevity realm,

an existence even more terrifying than Senior Bei Weng.

To go there would be courting death!

"Let those Martial Emperors go and test that Beast God's bottom line first!"

"If the Martial Emperors strike and that Beast God still doesn't move, it means he won't interfere in battles between Emperor-level experts, and then we can let our Hell Gate Martial Emperors surround and kill the Chu family!"

If it came to Emperor-level experts,

their Hell Gate Martial Emperors could drown the opponent with a single spit each!

The accumulation over these endless years was not just empty talk!

"Agreed!"

The others all nodded.

Letting the Martial Emperors test the waters was not a bad choice;

if they died, it didn't matter!

Wu Fu and the others followed the Heaven Fires all the way,

only stopping when they were about to reach the Seven Domains controlled by the Chu family.

Pfft!

Suddenly,

the three of them—Wu Fu and his companions—spat out a mouthful of blood,

saying in horror, "The opponent severed our connection with the Heaven Fires?"

"The Chu family, it must be the Chu family. It must be that Beast God of theirs who used his means to strip us of our Heaven Fires!"

"How shameless! A dignified Longevity realm expert actually robbing treasures from a group of Martial Emperors like us!"

The Saint Sun Martial Emperor, who had come with Wu Fu, cursed angrily.

His Heaven Fire had been snatched away too!

Wasn't this equivalent to an adult snatching snacks from a group of children?

It was so lacking in martial virtue!

Wu Fu's face was also deathly pale;

he never expected that he would one day have his own opportunities snatched away!

"The one who snatched your Heaven Fires is this Emperor!"

Just as everyone was cursing angrily,

a figure burning with raging flames walked over step by step from the distance.

With one step, he covered ten thousand miles.

In an instant,

he had arrived tens of thousands of meters in front of Wu Fu and the others.

And behind him,

nine Heaven Fires floated, forming a ring.

Even from ten thousand meters away,

the scorching temperature made the skin of the many Martial Emperors turn bright red, causing unbearable pain.

"Who, who are you?"

Wu Fu frowned.
