Chapter 401: The Art of Dan Fire

Li Qingxue stepped through the void, her rainbow dress radiating brilliant beams of light, exuding an aura of nobility. She resembled a divine maiden descending from the heavens, terrifying beyond measure, causing hearts to tremble uncontrollably.

The older generation were astounded, gazing at the fearsome girl in the void, unable to help but click their tongues in amazement. Just this aura alone was immensely powerful; if she did not die young, she would become a terrifying prodigy in the future.

Sensing the gazes around her, Li Qingxue smiled smugly to herself, growing even more haughty. Her expression was cold, like a holy fairy, inspiring no thoughts of desecration.

At that moment, black whirlpools once again leaped in Li Qingxue's beautiful eyes, far more powerful than before. Her pupils, capable of making one fall into them, caused many to become lost, as if they were the eyes of a deity.

"This trick again? No new moves?" Seeing this, Yang Tian remained unmoved, standing still, waiting for Li Qingxue's action.

Boom! She struck out fiercely, her jade hand suddenly slapping the void. The force of this palm was not great; the point of impact merely twisted slightly.

In front of Yang Tian, the void suddenly caved in, and a terrifying beam of light, as if falling from beyond the heavens, shot straight toward Yang Tian's head.

"Can't you come up with something new?" Just as the terrifying energy touched Yang Tian's afterimage, a faint laugh suddenly came from all directions.

"You're asking for death!" Li Qingxue's pupils contracted slightly. She snorted coldly, her palm trembling violently, causing the sky to shake. From her palm flew patches of multicolored light, and the killing intent was overwhelming, surging wildly in all directions, enveloping the entire battle platform.

Boom! Boom! Like great waves, circles of energy attacked in all directions. The surging palm force covered the entire battle platform. She hovered within it, as if overlooking the vast earth.

Seeing this, Yang Tian let out a sneer. He moved, extremely fast, shaking the wilderness with each breath. He brought with him a terrifying gale that shredded the great waves, and even the void was exploding as he charged toward Li Qingxue's position.

"Die!" Li Qingxue struck out with a palm, producing a deafening clang. A waterfall of radiant light flew past, crashing toward the body that had arrived before her.

Seeing this, Yang Tian smiled. He leaped up, like a young roc, piercing through clouds and mist, soaring into the high sky, while the phantom below instantly exploded.

"Good thing the Eight Desolates Step is nearly perfected, or this battle would have been extremely difficult." Glancing at Li Qingxue, Yang Tian grinned and couldn't help but smile.

The moment Yang Tian paused, Li Qingxue arrived in an instant. Her formidable energy burst forth, shaking the wilderness, and heavily struck toward Yang Tian's head.

In the arena, it was like a chase. Yang Tian's soul power was extremely terrifying; whenever Li Qingxue's form arrived, he had already sensed the fluctuation and moved away from the area of attack.

In this place, radiant light soared into the sky, blasting apart patches of void. The attacks were wildly domineering, and the thousand-zhang battle platform was filled with terrifying beams of light.

"That little wench is probably furious. Her speed is too slow, and her grasp of the void is poor," Fatty said, scratching his bird's-nest hair and grinning.

"It's not that her speed is slow, but Yang Tian's movement technique is too strange. The afterimages are very similar to the real body, and Yang Tian's physical body is extremely strong; the surrounding gusts of wind can't harm him at all," Xiao Ji couldn't help but smile.

"Do you only know how to dodge?!" After dozens of consecutive failed moves, a look of displeasure appeared in Li Qingxue's eyes as she shouted.

Hearing this, Yang Tian smiled. His form suddenly appeared before Li Qingxue. His arms spread wide, terrifying blood energy surged through, and all three avatars moved, interweaving into a skyward crimson glow.

Boom! Yang Tian's palms erupted with endless essence, flooding the heavens and earth before him, unleashing overwhelming might.

"Scram!" Li Qingxue snapped. Her rainbow-colored dress clanged, emitting strands of brilliant light. Amid the boundless blood aura, those strands of light burst forth, tearing apart Yang Tian's assault.

Yang Tian's attack did not stop. The region of heaven and earth suddenly turned into a sea of lightning. Wild and domineering arcs of thunder leaped about, and the entire battle platform was cracking apart. The violent energy shook many people.

Li Qingxue's rainbow dress was extremely formidable. When the fabric fluttered, it actually tore open the sea of lightning, its power astonishing.

Seeing this, Yang Tian smiled faintly. A purple-red beam of light appeared at his fingertip. The purple-red flame gave people a hair-raising sensation.

Those wisps of firelight contained a terrifying heavenly might, making one's soul nearly leave the body. Those tiny arcs of thunder also held destructive power, causing the void to explode.

The two extremely fearsome energies merged together, becoming exceedingly strange. A faint, elusive mysterious energy made the minds of even some experts tremble.

"What the hell is that?" an old man couldn't help asking a stranger beside him.

"That is alchemical flame. Unbelievable, it's actually so terrifying," the stranger, well-traveled and knowledgeable, replied, his voice trembling slightly.

All the experts were alarmed. The alchemical flame was not only strange but also extremely fearsome, chilling them to the bone.

"He actually fused two origins, lightning and fire, together. Such a bizarre technique," Xiao Ji said, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.

At the sudden appearance of the purple-red beam, Li Qingxue's eyelids twitched slightly. Deep in her eyes was a trace of wariness, and her body actually retreated backward.

"Thinking of leaving now? Isn't it a bit late?" Seeing this, Yang Tian shook his head slightly and chuckled.

With a hum, the beam of purple-red alchemical flame suddenly dissipated. In the void, a huge bell appeared, wreathed in terrifying divine flames, scorching and unbearable, melting the void.

That thunder bell was extremely fearsome. It enveloped Li Qingxue's body, and with a loud clang, sealed her inside.

"This..." Some elders of the Li family could no longer sit still, showing signs of intervening. Li Qingxue was the saintess of the Li family, with formidable cultivation, destined to become a great figure, and must not come to harm.

Boom! The newly descended thunder bell suddenly exploded with a bang. The entire bell twisted, showing signs of cracking.

At that moment, Yang Tian's large hand grabbed through the air. A strange energy surged out. On the thunder bell, a creature suddenly emerged—a three-legged golden crow, its whole body blood-red, radiating sky-shaking flames.

"Go!" Yang Tian's hand shook slightly. The three-legged golden crow suddenly soared out, rushed into the thunder bell, and launched a terrifying assault.

This alchemical flame technique was something Yang Tian had developed in the primeval forest. It relied entirely on the three-legged golden crow dwelling in the Great Sun Wheel Void phenomenon. By observing it daily, Yang Tian could now manifest a trace of its divine essence.

"Materialization! Such astonishing control!" At this moment, an old man skilled in alchemy cried out in surprise, a hint of fervor in his eyes.

From within the thunder bell came terrible sounds. The great bell was like a volcano, spewing terrifying waves of fire. The entire battle platform shook, cracking with astonishing patterns.

At this moment, many people's eyes were fixed on the thunder bell. Inside, explosions roared, the sky trembled, and a murderous aura shot into the clouds.

After a full ten breaths, a terrifying energy fluctuation suddenly burst out from the thunder bell. Amid the horrified gazes of the onlookers, the bell shook violently, and a palm-sized blood-colored furnace broke free, appearing in the world.

"Rumble!" As soon as the blood-colored furnace appeared, it began to shake, suddenly expanding to several dozen zhang in height. Inside, blazing flames burned, colored like rainbow light, surging out in all directions.
