With his brows tightly furrowed, Wei Yang swept his gaze across the surroundings.
Yet wherever he looked, all he could see were the invisible flames sweeping in from all directions. The massive body of the Invisible fire python was nowhere to be seen.
Under Xian’er’s control, the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame sub-flame swirled rapidly around them, wrapping the two of them in its vortex, isolating them from the corrosion of the invisible flames.
"Brat Wei, look below! The Fallen Heart Flame is escaping!" Yao Lao’s voice transmission suddenly echoed in Wei Yang’s ear.
Wei Yang quickly lowered his head to look.
All he saw was a massive, translucent tail flashing briefly at the fractured tip of the tower, disappearing into the darkness moments later.
A tremendous suction force suddenly erupted from the cracked opening at the top of the tower.
As it appeared, the countless invisible flames in the sky surged toward the tower tip in reverse, as though being pulled by an irresistible force.
It was like the mouth of an undersea vortex—the fractured tip of the tower acted like a bottomless abyss, madly devouring the invisible flames lingering outside.
The flames spun wildly, forming a vortex funnel of fire, pouring endlessly into the tower’s tip, vanishing without a trace.
Before long, the vast sea of invisible flames completely dispersed, all devoured by the rupture atop the tower.
The temperature of the entire Inner Academy dropped noticeably, the sky cleared once more, and only a ruinous wasteland remained on the ground.
Everyone stared at each other in silence.
The Invisible fire python had disappeared, and with it, the invisible flames.
But—Han Feng had vanished as well.
The experts from Black-Corner Region were dumbfounded. Their boss had disappeared—swallowed by the Fallen Heart Flame and dragged into the tower. He was likely doomed.
Now what were they supposed to do?
Should they follow into the depths of the tower to save the boss?
The Fallen Heart Flame was so ferocious and powerful—who dared to go down there?
They were just working here. Why should they throw their lives away?
The Black-Corner Region elites all turned to look at the Elder Gold and Elder Silver.
Elder Gold and Elder Silver exchanged glances, frowning, also unsure of what to do for the moment.
The two brothers looked at Wei Yang and Xian’er with both hatred and fear, but they didn’t dare speak out or provoke them.
These two had even dared to go against Han Feng—would they fear anyone from Black-Corner Region?
Everyone’s attention was now focused on Wei Yang and Xian’er.
All the chaos just now had started because of these two mysterious black-robed strangers.
But when they saw the yellow-brown tornado-like flame swirling in the air, their pupils contracted sharply.
Yet another Heavenly Flame.
With their sharp eyesight, they could immediately tell—it was another type of Heavenly Flame.
At this point, they were nearly numb with shock. This had to be the fourth Heavenly Flame to appear today.
Something that was normally rare beyond belief now seemed to be showing up one after another like a parade.
"That... seems like the legendary Wind and Thunder Fury Flame?" Hu Gan asked Su Qian in a low voice.
"Yes," Su Qian nodded, his expression solemn as he gazed at the rapidly spinning, yellow-brown tornado hovering in mid-air. He murmured, "But it lacks a certain spiritual aura. If I’m not mistaken, that’s just a sub-flame."
"Just a sub-flame?" Hu Gan let out a quiet breath, unsure whether to feel disappointed or relieved. "What do we do now?"
"I don’t know." Su Qian shook his head with a bitter smile. "Han Feng was swallowed by the Fallen Heart Flame and dragged into the magma world beneath. He’s probably dead. Once the Fallen Heart Flame finishes devouring the Sea Heart Flame from Han Feng, it will likely evolve to the peak of the Dou Zong stage... possibly even reach Half-Step Dou Zun. At that point..."
"Peak Dou Zong... Half-Step Dou Zun..." Hu Gan’s mouth opened slightly, his face turning extremely grim.
The Fallen Heart Flame was already difficult enough to deal with.
If it managed to fully digest the Sea Heart Flame, its terrifying power would become utterly unstoppable.
"If it really comes to that, we might have to temporarily relocate the Inner Academy. As for the Fallen Heart Flame, we’ll wait for the Headmaster to return and deal with it then," Su Qian said helplessly.
A debt owed would eventually have to be repaid.
They had imprisoned the Fallen Heart Flame for so many years—perhaps now was the time to settle that debt.
"What a beast. It sure knows when to retreat. Swallowed Han Feng and ran straight back to its lair to digest him." Wei Yang looked down at the pitch-black crack atop the tower and raised an eyebrow as he muttered softly.
"Brother Yang, what should we do now?" Xian’er waved her hand, recalling the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame, and asked via sound transmission.
"We go down and find it. While it’s still busy devouring the Sea Heart Flame, this is our best chance to strike!" Wei Yang said as he lifted his head. From within the shadow of his cloak, he cast a discreet glance toward Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan gave the faintest of nods, almost imperceptible.
"Xian’er, you stay here at the tower entrance. Don’t let anyone come down and disturb us. Later, Du Jiao will arrive and assist me below."
"Alright," Xian’er nodded. "Be careful."
"Relax. With the Black Sun Burning Heaven Flame protecting me, that beast can’t harm me."
After a quick exchange—
Whoosh!Wei Yang’s figure suddenly moved, transforming into a streak of black light. Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, he shot straight into the black hole-like breach at the tip of the tower.
Whoosh!Almost simultaneously, Xiao Yan flared his wings, sweeping through the void like a hawk diving from the sky, following right behind him into the rift.
Xian’er descended onto the jagged edge of the broken tower tip. With a flick of her hand—
Wuuu~Aooouu~Wind howled and dragons roared.
The Wind and Thunder Fury Flame burst forth, transforming into a tornado that spun madly, its size rapidly expanding until it completely sealed off the entire breach.
The crowd watched in tense silence. No one dared stop her.
Buzz!Space just ahead of the tornado twisted violently.
A towering, burly figure cloaked entirely in a black robe appeared, his aura like a steel tower imposing itself onto the world.
Boom!The oppressive aura radiating from him caused everyone present to feel a jolt of alarm.
Such a terrifying pressure—clearly, a high-level Dou Zong!
Wuuu~The tornado’s rotation slowed just slightly, then opened a narrow gap.
The burly figure took a step forward—accompanied by a piercing sonic boom—and dove into the opening, disappearing without a trace.
Immediately, the gap resealed, and the tornado spun once more at full force, sealing the tower tip completely. No one could see what was happening inside anymore.
Aooouu~The lingering dragon roars echoed from within the tornado, resounding throughout the entire Inner Academy.
Boom!The tornado’s size swelled again, rapidly growing into a monstrous storm pillar that seemed to bridge heaven and earth.
Huuuu~Billowing yellow-brown flames swirled in the scorching winds, with countless embers flickering and dancing within.
From afar, the space around the storm warped and rippled with deep distortions, like waves undulating through a turbulent sea.
An intense and terrifying heat spread outward, enveloping the surrounding heavens and earth.
This terrifying power left countless onlookers shocked and speechless.
Now that Xian’er had stepped into the Dou Zong realm, the Wind and Thunder Fury Flame sub-flame she unleashed was far stronger than when she’d used it outside the Jia Ma Empire’s capital—many times over.
The tornado storm was dozens of meters wide, like a giant towering between heaven and earth. The scorching winds spun madly, releasing searing heat and destructive force that made even the gathered experts turn pale and back away, not daring to get close.
The base of the tornado connected to the plaza below, while the top crashed directly into the ceiling of the spatial barrier above.
As the howling winds swept through, the already-ruined ground was completely obliterated.
Within several hundred meters, aside from the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower at the storm’s center, everything else that stood above ground was torn into the tornado, shredded to pieces by the fierce winds, and burned to ash by the flames.
Such overwhelming destruction and display of power left everyone dumbfounded.
Several Black-Corner Region experts who had wanted to move closer were so frightened they fled far away, not daring to take another step forward.
At the same time, everyone understood clearly—
This display made one thing clear: the other side had no intention of negotiating. They had laid down the gauntlet. If anyone dared to come, they could try.
Some of the Black-Corner Region powerhouses exchanged glances and quietly retreated, leaving the Inner Academy entirely—obviously wanting nothing more to do with this mess.
The Elder Gold and Elder Silver, along with a few others, gathered together, their expressions conflicted. They wanted to leave, but were unwilling to go empty-handed; yet stepping forward was simply too dangerous.
Not to mention that the Fallen Heart Flame’s lair lay beneath the tower...
Even just this tornado was a barrier hard to overcome.
On the Inner Academy’s side, hesitation clouded their ranks as well.
"That mysterious black-robed guy who ambushed Han Feng, and that burly high-level Dou Zong who appeared later—they seem to be working together. They’re clearly after the Fallen Heart Flame. What do we do now?" Hu Gan asked grimly.
The other academy elders turned toward Su Qian, their faces full of unwillingness.
Su Qian sat cross-legged on the ground, recovering his strength. His gaze was locked onto the giant tornado that connected heaven and earth. After inhaling a breath of the scorching air, he finally spoke in a low voice, "Let’s wait and see."
A trace of bitterness welled up in his heart.
Things had escalated to this point, and even he wasn’t sure what the best course of action was.
He was torn. This text is hosted at novel-fire.net
Logically speaking, if the Fallen Heart Flame was truly subdued and taken away, it would be a blessing for the Inner Academy—completely eradicating a hidden catastrophe.
But to let it be taken away just like that... felt like too much of a loss.
After all—this was a Heavenly Flame!
