638. New ruler has arrived.
"The Heavenly Ruler, Reign Supreme!"
Suddenly, a phantom image of thousands of troops appeared behind Xiao Yan. The sound of clashing swords and armor shattered the sky. Amidst the bloody wind and the fluttering of tattered battle flags, a phantom image of an emperor clad in heavy armor blazing with fire could be vaguely seen standing majestically.
When the infusion of battle qi reached its critical point, the fiery ruler transformed into countless points of light and shot out rapidly. The battle qi formed a dense rain of meteors in mid-air, and amidst the clanging of metal, the space was plowed with spiderweb-like scorched fissures—this strike not only contained the ferocity of a high-level Earth-rank battle technique, but also carried the energy of the Crimson Lotus Heart Flame that could incinerate all things.
"Red Zhe Aoki Palm!"
Emerald green flames erupted from Wei Jiangyuan's palm, weaving into a vine-like totem in the void. Crimson wood grain slowly grew from the vines, eventually forming a burning, towering ancient tree palm print. The veins of the leaves transformed into energy conduits, frantically absorbing the battle qi of heaven and earth, growing stronger as it accompanied Xiao Yan's attack.
Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan were prepared, and launched two attacks simultaneously!
The combined power of Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan's attacks was something that even ordinary high-star Dou Zun experts couldn't ignore before, but Ling Fengzhui, who was repairing the great formation, still showed no sign of moving.
Looking at all this, Xiao Yan was truly puzzled. After all, he knew in his heart that the Spirit Clan couldn't possibly be so foolish as to just sit there and wait to be attacked. But now that he and Wei Jiangyuan had launched their attacks, what could these masked men, clearly high-ranking members of the Spirit Clan, possibly do to resist?
The two fighting techniques complemented each other, with the domineering fire wave of the Sovereign's Strike and the emerald light of the Azure Wood Seal tearing a dazzling band of light across the night sky. Just as the crimson and emerald energy torrents were about to strike the masked man, Xiao Yan suddenly sensed a fluctuation of soul power.
Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan were both super geniuses in alchemy. The moment the soul power fluctuated, the two exchanged a glance, and at this moment, they both saw a confirmation in each other's eyes.
"I knew this guy wouldn't be so easy to deal with!"
As Wei Jiangyuan finished speaking, the two energies unleashed their true power, and a thunderous explosion resounded, sending out a huge shockwave. Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan, naturally, remained standing firm and unshaken under this impact.
As the aura of the attack subsided, both Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan sensed that the person repairing the formation had not stopped, and the impacts ultimately failed to interrupt it!
After the smoke from the impact completely dissipated, the two even saw Ling Fengzhui still standing in the same spot, his figure unmoved. Xiao Yan and Wei Jiangyuan's two attacks, which they had just unleashed with all their might, had been blocked by a mysterious soul force, and the owner of that force now seemed to be none other than the masked man before them.
Wei Jiangyuan was also somewhat puzzled and said, "The intensity of our attacks is such that an ordinary person could never block them so easily. Could this guy be a Soul Realm expert?"
The Soul Heaven Realm is a realm above the Spirit Realm, similar to the levels of Dou Qi. There are four levels: Mortal Realm, Spirit Realm, Heaven Realm, and Emperor Realm. Each level has fundamental differences. If the person before him truly possesses a Heaven Realm soul, it is indeed possible for him to effortlessly block the attacks of Wei Jiangyuan and Xiao Yan.
"No matter what, we must break through here!" Xiao Yan said without any hesitation, after all, the two of them were now the ones with the best chance of breaking the deadlock tonight.
The Fire Lotus Heart Flame appeared in Xiao Yan's hand and then began to disperse into three-colored flames. With the movement of Xiao Yan's hand, the aura of the three-star Dou Zun also continued to rise, reaching the level of a six-star Dou Zun!
The Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire Begin!
Seeing this, Wei Jiangyuan grinned, and emerald flames began to burn on his body. Clearly, that previous attack wasn't his full power; he possessed even more powerful methods, and given the urgency of the situation, he couldn't afford not to use them!
"Xiao Yan!" A voice rang out at this moment, reaching this place!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan stopped gathering power in his hands, because he recognized the voice as belonging to Haika, a forging master from the Pill Tower!
Xiao Yan glanced over and saw Haika, whom he hadn't been able to find all night! Haika's aura was very unstable at the moment, clearly indicating that he had also engaged in an extremely fierce battle during the night's great fight.
But now he has unleashed an unprecedented speed, his target being Xiao Yan in the sky.
Xiao Yan was also looking forward to it, after all, the Xuan Heavy Ruler he had enhanced was with Haika!
Haika escaped from the Pill Tower with Su Huo, but had been suffering from considerable injuries ever since. He had already completed the new version of the Xuan Heavy Ruler for Xiao Yan, and according to him, he wouldn't be able to die in peace without personally handing it to Xiao Yan.
When Xiao Yan released the Fire Lotus, he was trapped and unable to escape for a while, and then the Spirit Clan members poured in. Later, the Heavenly Demon intervened, and neither Xiao Yan nor the demon were able to free up their forces, until now.
At this moment, Haika was overjoyed to see Xiao Yan and rushed to his side. Xiao Yan noticed that Haika's fingers were curled up in spasms, his fingertips digging deeply into the patterns on the black iron ruler, as if this giant ruler, which had consumed his life's blood, was now connected to his very bones.
"Catch it!" A hoarse roar, mixed with the metallic smell, burst out. His arms, which were trembling as he raised the Xuanzhong Ruler, suddenly shrank back half an inch in fear. His cautious manner was as if he were lifting a newborn baby.
At this moment, Xiao Yan felt only respect. How could someone who regarded the Xuan Heavy Ruler as his life not deserve his respect?
"This ruler is the most prized work of my life, you must treat it well!" Although there was reluctance in Haika's eyes, he suppressed it in the end and earnestly instructed Xiao Yan.
Haika was born in the Pill Tower, his parents both high-level alchemists, but fate played a cruel joke on him: due to a lack of talent, he was not destined for the path of alchemy. Despite his remarkable achievements in forging, he still harbored some regrets. However, after personally and extravagantly crafting the Xuan Heavy Ruler using metal from the third-ranked alchemy cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron Ranking, most of those lingering regrets vanished. Although he claimed it was his proudest masterpiece, his obsession had largely dissipated, and he was determined not to stop on the path of forging.
But at this moment, Haika could not possibly think about all those things that would happen later. Right now, he only had one thing on his mind: what kind of power did this Xuanzhong Ruler have?
"Don't worry, Elder Hai, this ruler will definitely be one of my most important weapons now and in the future!" Xiao Yan said solemnly.
