Fights Break Sphere: Rock King's Leisurely Journey into the Mortal World

Chapter 73 Emperor Hun Tian's First Time

"So there are only two ways for Emperor Hun Tian to heal his injuries. One is to find another Nine-Star Dou Sheng peak or even higher power to help him refine and devour Xiao Xuan's soul mark and the remaining source of the strange fire. Of course, before you showed up, the only one who met this condition was Gu Yuan. Naturally, Gu Yuan would never help Emperor Hun Tian."

"So Soul Emperor can only use the second method, which is to continuously attack Xiao Xuan's soul mark through time-consuming methods. Firstly, it can gradually wear away Xiao Xuan's soul mark. Secondly, when Soul Emperor attacks the soul mark, the main volcanic stone flame among the three strange fires will shift its target from Soul Emperor's body to the soul mark, competing with Soul Emperor's power. If Soul Emperor had not already refined the Red Lotus Karma Fire, which ranks eighth on the Strange Fire List, without this Red Lotus Karma Fire, which is one level higher than the Three Thousand Flames, supporting his body, Soul Emperor would have died long ago."

Zhongli quietly cast his gaze towards Emperor Hun Tian's heart, where he saw a powerful flame like a crimson lotus, which was continuously resisting the fierce attack of the volcanic stone flame.

"Alas, it's a pity that I don't possess fire-attributed Dou Qi. If I could control flames as skillfully as Xiao Xuan, I'm afraid these three shattered strange fire origins would actually be able to help me."

Zhongli nodded slightly, agreeing with what Emperor Hun Tian said.

Yet, behold the volcanic stone flame, which had been playful for nearly a thousand years, still leaping and tossing around the heart of the Soul Emperor. Even Zhongli couldn't help but marvel at the vigorous vitality displayed by this volcanic stone flame.

Although it possessed the Yang Flame of the Yin and Yang Flames, as well as Xiao Xuan's soul mark, which continuously infused it with vitality, Zhongli still underestimated the unusual fire's extraordinary activity. Perhaps it was precisely because Xiao Xuan's soul mark was constantly issuing orders to attack the Soul Emperor that this volcanic stone flame was so active.

"Perhaps, time hasn't been long enough. After all, only a thousand years have passed. If six thousand years had passed... I'm sure Xiao Xuan's mark would have been worn away by the ruthless passage of time."

Zhongli's eyes narrowed slightly, and in an instant, the dazzling Burning Thousand Sun Flame in his hand, as bright as the scorching sun in the sky, suddenly descended, instantly illuminating the entire Soul Realm Emperor Sky.

The Void Devouring Flame already holds the revered position of second on the Strange Fire List, its flame power profound and powerful. Meanwhile, the Soul Sky Emperor, as the patriarch of one of the Eight Ancient Clans, possesses extraordinary strength, having already devoured and refined the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, ranked eighth on the Strange Fire List, making it a part of his own power. Because of this, these two possess a far superior perception and insight into fire, naturally unaffected by the Burning Thousand Sun Flame's unique passive ability of deception. They can clearly see the Burning Thousand Sun Flame's true form.

"This... How is this possible! In this world, there actually exists something more blazing and powerful than my flame! Could it be that this is a strange fire, nurtured by the Dou Di Qi, mutated and evolved from other flames? Although the Emperor Flame is also colorful and gorgeous in my memory, for some reason, deep down in my heart, I am absolutely certain that the flame before me is definitely not the Emperor Flame!"

At this moment, the brilliant colors of the Burning Thousand Sun Flame seemed to have life, dancing happily in the eyes under the black robe of Void Devouring Flame, like a lively dance of flames.

Emperor Hun Tian was well-informed. As the patriarch of the eight ancient tribes, he had dabbled in all sorts of bizarre things. "Senior...Senior, is this...is this the legendary Emperor Flame?"

Zhongli shook his head slightly, his expression calm and composed, and slowly explained, "No, this fire is not the Emperor's Flame. It is called the Burning Thousand Suns Flame, a new exotic fire that has not been included in the list of exotic fires."

"Aw... aw!"

Emperor Hun Tian was still immersed in shock and before he could come to his senses, Zhongli's right hand had already swung out swiftly, with his palm facing Emperor Hun Tian's heart.

In an instant, the incomparably brilliant Burning Thousand Sun Flames struck Soul Heaven Emperor's body like a meteor, slowly seeping in. Soul Heaven Emperor offered no resistance. Aside from that initial, instinctive tremor, he simply quietly felt the subtle changes the Burning Thousand Sun Flames induced within his body.

This does not mean that Emperor Hun Tian lacks combat experience. On the contrary, only veterans who have gone through countless battles can endure the burning pain and remain calm when faced with the strange fire of others entering their bodies directly.

The reason Soul Emperor remained so calm was because he knew full well that, while theoretically, he and Mr. Zhongli were only half a level apart, he also understood that the difference between a Half-Step Dou Emperor and a Dou Emperor was immense. If Zhongli intended to kill him, a single glance from the Dou Emperor's domineering aura would crush him to dust.

All this is because Emperor Hun Tian knows very well that under the power of Emperor Dou, all living beings are like ants!

Void Devouring Flame slowly stood up from his seat, quietly moved closer, and intently observed Zhongli's exquisite technique of controlling fire.

He occasionally stole a glance at the little fighter who had just handed down a "death sentence" to him, with a barely perceptible inquiry in his eyes.

However, the little medical fairy, who was blessed with the power of the earth's core, instantly noticed the hidden gaze of Xuwu Tunyan.

Although Xuwu Tunyan's eyes were deeply covered by the black cloak, Xiao Yixian could clearly see his face under the black robe through the divine power barrier at the center of the earth.

The Little Doctor Fairy gently raised her delicate pink fist, a freshly cracked melon seed shell still between her index finger and thumb, as if silently threatening: "If you dare to look again, I'll smash you to death with a hammer!"

Xuwu Tunyan's heart trembled, and he quickly averted his gaze. He knew very well that this little Doudi Realm fighter had a Doudi as his backer. If she became interested in his strange fire, he would be courting death.

Emperor Hun Tian did not deliberately block the Burning Thousand Sun Flame from invading his body. Instead, in order to make it easier for Zhongli to heal him, he took the initiative to open all the meridian channels in his body.

It is really sad to say that when Emperor Hun Tian was young, he also had a pure belief in love, friendship, and family affection. At that time, he admitted that only when facing someone he believed in, would his body open up without reservation.

However, the trajectory of fate is always full of drama. Even Emperor Hun Tian himself probably did not expect that the first time he opened his meridians without any precautions would be to someone he had only known for a few moments.

This experience, like a heavy hammer, once again struck deeply into Emperor Hun Tian's heart, making his desire for strength even stronger.
