565: Chapter 565 Blood Soul Seal Technique, Releasing Strange Fire

Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and infinite black clouds surged.

Countless ghostly figures danced within the black clouds, looking extremely eerie.

The Bronze Throne beneath Wang Ku released an endless yin energy that even the world-destroying Strange Fire could not incinerate.

The thousand-foot-tall Bronze Throne was filled with an aura of supreme yin and evil, even freezing the volcanoes of the Zhixuo Mountain Range.

"Crackle, crackle, crackle..."

From above the earth, the sound of soil churning rang out. Under the horrified gazes of the crowd, massive skeletons quickly emerged from the dirt.

Countless magical beast skeletons, countless humanoid skeletons—innumerable skeletons unearthed themselves.

Surging yin energy rose, appearing incomparably sinister and terrifying.

"You..." The Fire Cloud Old Ancestor watched the skeletons surge out with his own eyes, unable to find words to describe the scene for a moment.

So many corpses had been summoned by Wang Ku.

As the Skeleton Monarch, Wang Ku possessed absolute control over all the corpses and skeletons in the world.

His control was even more powerful than that of Mr. Corpse Soul!

With a single move, endless skeletons broke through the earth.

"Hmph, let's see if your skeletons are more formidable, or if this Old Ancestor's Strange Fire is!" the Fire Cloud Old Ancestor shouted sharply.

Bang!

A cluster of silver-gray Nine Dragon flames spread from his palm. The Fire Cloud Old Ancestor channeled the underground magma of the Zhixuo Mountain Range; like a volcanic eruption, crimson magma also surged out.

It transformed into a curtain of fire, sweeping toward the army of skeletons covering the ground.

A cluster of flames violently incinerated a skeleton, but even more skeletons swarmed forward.

The Fire Cloud Old Ancestor exerted the power of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, but the Zhixuo Mountain Range held an unknown number of buried skeletons.

The infinite skeletons from below even began to crash against the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.

"Old monster, you have some skill?" Hun Tiandi watched the volcanic eruption and smiled coldly, putting away the sea of blood with a thought.

He released his soul power, spreading it toward the depths of the earth.

In his perception, it was all magma—a pure crimson expanse permeating with terrifyingly high temperatures. His soul power continued to penetrate deeper.

A hint of vigilance rose in his heart; this place was filled with various dangers.

It was never wrong to be a little careful.

Unable to see the end, massive bubbles rose from the magma and finally burst, silently spreading waves of scorching heat.

It even carried a type of fire poison.

If it invaded the body, it would likely be quite troublesome.

Fortunately, it was a strand of soul power. After exploring the bottom of the magma for half an hour, he finally reached the base a thousand feet down.

He saw the location of the seal. Beneath the seal was a cluster of silver-white Nine Dragon flames, releasing a terrifying fire that caused the magma to explode constantly.

"Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, I've finally found your Strange Fire Essence!"

A smile appeared in Hun Tiandi's heart. A massive formation imprisoned the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame. Within the Essence Fire, the experts of the Burning Flame Valley had branded a Blood Soul Seal.

It was nearly impossible to erase; one could only practice the valley's guardian technique: the Azure Nether Ghost Flame Art.

Only then would one have the chance to refine a strand of the fire and use the power of the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.

The Nine Dragon Lightning Flame is ranked eleventh on the strange fire ranking list. Its flame is silver and burns gently; as the flames rise, nine small silver fire dragons permeate the air.

They weave through the flames as if they possess intelligence.

A hint of dragon pressure permeates the Strange Fire, mixed with the divine effect of deterring the soul.

"Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, do you want to break free from the restrictive seal and truly emerge into the world?" That sliver of Hun Tiandi's soul power released a hint of goodwill.

He waited patiently without haste. He believed that this eleventh-ranked Strange Fire would definitely not disappoint him.

"You can release my Essence Fire?" After waiting for a long time, a weak intent, like that of a three-year-old child, drifted out from beneath the seal.

"As expected, the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame has birthed intelligence. Although it's still very weak, it's enough!"

Hun Tiandi said excitedly, continuing to project goodwill.

"I am a man of my word. As long as you agree, today is the chance for you to escape and enter the world!" Hun Tiandi coaxed.

"Why should I trust you? That old man back then said the same thing, but in the end, he branded a Blood Soul Seal on my Essence Fire and set a seal to imprison my essence."

"Every once in a while, someone practicing the same technique comes to refine a strand of my Essence Fire, weakening my power!"

The Nine Dragon Lightning Flame beneath the seal was like a child, having been deceived and becoming extremely furious.

The anger of the Strange Fire caused the entire magma world to boil like the end of days.

Hearing this, how could Hun Tiandi not understand?

The so-called inherited Strange Fire was the result of successive generations of Burning Flame Valley experts branding an indelible Blood Soul Seal into the Essence Fire.

The formation restricted its power, and then they practiced the fire-attribute technique, the 'Azure Nether Ghost Flame Art,' which complemented the neutralized seal within the Strange Fire Essence.

This helped the practitioner resist the violent energy of the Strange Fire and gradually master its power.

Of course, even with the technique and the Blood Soul Seal's assistance, failure was not impossible.

Once, the Burning Flame Valley Master Tang Huo'er had suffered a backlash from the Strange Fire while refining the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame. Later, the previous Valley Master Tang Zhen...

Gathered Alchemists from the Central Plains to refine a Tier 7 Fire Bodhi Pill to heal the sequelae of the Strange Fire backlash.

"What if I can remove the Blood Soul Seal branded in your Essence Fire?" Hun Tiandi spoke again.

"Can you really do it?" An excited intent emanated from the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame.

"Correct. I have already found a way to remove the Blood Soul Seal. As long as you agree to go with me after you emerge, I will remove the seal in your Essence Fire!"

Hun Tiandi said firmly.

"Fine, I agree!" The Nine Dragon Lightning Flame agreed immediately, like a child who had been shut at home for too long; its heart's longing for freedom could no longer be suppressed.

Hun Tiandi withdrew that sliver of soul power and suddenly opened his eyes in the forbidden back mountain area.

The battle between the three Dou Sheng powerhouses—Fire Cloud Old Ancestor, Dragon King Ao Chuang, and Wang Ku—had long since reached a fever pitch. However, as time passed...

The Fire Cloud Old Ancestor, fighting two against one, gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Defeat was only a matter of time.

"Nine Dragon Lightning Flame, today is the day of your emergence!"

"Eyes of Samsara!"

Hun Tiandi flew high into the sky and shouted deeply. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them, they transformed into a blood-colored passage that shrouded the forbidden back mountain.

Rumble!

The Samsara Passage rotated, aiming at the Strange Fire's sealing site and boring toward the depths of the earth.

At this moment, the massive rumbling caused the entire Zhixuo Mountain Range to tremble.

Countless massive cracks spread continuously into the distance.

"Bastard, do you know what you're doing? Once the Strange Fire Essence is released, the entire Zhixuo Mountain Range will be destroyed..."

The captive Valley Master Tang Zhen saw this scene, his bloodshot eyes filled with infinite terror.

As the previous Valley Master of the Burning Flame Valley, how could he not know how terrifying the Nine Dragon Lightning Flame was?

"Stop! Hun Tiandi, you lunatic!"

At this time, the battling Fire Cloud Old Ancestor also instantly flew into a rage. If the Strange Fire emerged, it would destroy heaven and earth.

Crack!

The Samsara Passage penetrated the ground and reached the formation seal set by the Burning Flame Valley. Hun Tiandi activated the Eyes of Samsara.

The originally indestructible seal began to make shattering sounds under the power of Samsara.

Countless cracks spread, and finally, it shattered with a bang.

Buzz!

Instantly, the underground erupted. Countless streams of magma shot into the firmament. Hun Tiandi withdrew his Eyes of Samsara and retreated a thousand feet.

"The seal is broken! That human actually did it!" The Strange Fire Essence, which had been worried, was now filled with pleasant surprise.

A cluster of silver Nine Dragon flames slowly ascended, emerging from the depths of the earth.

In the firmament, it released a terrifying high temperature that distorted the space of heaven and earth.

"Lunatic! You actually released the Strange Fire! Do you know you've brought a disaster of destruction to the Central Plains continent?" Valley Master Tang Zhen's heart was like dead ashes.

"You..." The Fire Cloud Old Ancestor was breathless with rage; this time, things were truly finished.
