Battle Through the Heavens: The Rock King Emperor's Leisurely Wanderings in the Mortal World

Chapter 85 Gu Yuan, take this Ancient Emperor Xuan Tian Palm strike from me.

"What?! Imperial Flame?!"

Such a formidable reputation startled the three immortals of the ancient clan and Gu Lie, causing them to stand up instantly.

"Isn't Xun'er in imminent danger?! With the Emperor Flame appearing, even if the Void Devouring Flame and the Pure Lotus Demon Flame appeared at the same time, they would have no choice but to submit. Moreover, Xun'er's body only contains a portion of the origin of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame." Gu Cang hurriedly analyzed.

Upon hearing this, Gu Lan panicked completely, jumping up and down and clapping his hands in desperation: "Moreover, different flames can attract and devour each other. Since Xun'er has already discovered the Emperor Flame, then the Emperor Flame must have also sensed the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within her! What should we do? Xiao Yuan, how can you still sit there so calmly? Our ancient clan's future is facing such a calamity, and you are completely indifferent?"

"(｀Д)!! Uncle Lan, I didn't. Xun'er didn't encounter a wild Di Yan, but a Di Yan that had already been tamed."

"What a joke! The Pure Lotus Demon Flame has been around for thousands of years. Neither the ancient eight clans nor any of the demon beast families could subdue it. And the Void Devouring Flame—you think the Soul Emperor, with the same strength as you, a peak nine-star Dou Sheng, could devour it? Isn't it because he couldn't? Now you're telling me that the Emperor Flame was actually subdued? Who subdued it? A Dou Di?"

"(⊙o⊙)...Uh, Xun'er said it's a Dou Zong."

Gu Lan chuckled in exasperation, then formed a hand seal and pointed it at Gu Yuan, saying, "Still sitting there? You believe I can smash that broken chair under your butt with one Ancient Emperor Profound Heaven Seal!"

Gu Yuan shook his head helplessly, knowing that the old man Gu Lan couldn't take a joke, and then spoke seriously.

"Uncle Lan, please calm down. I also have reservations about whether the multicolored strange fire that Xun'er saw is the Emperor Flame. However, Xun'er insists that she can clearly feel that the power of that strange fire far surpasses that of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame within her. Therefore, I speculate that it may be a newly born strange fire that has not yet been recorded in the Strange Fire Ranking. Given that its power far exceeds the origin of some Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flames, I believe that the strength of this strange fire should at least rank between third and fourth on the Strange Fire Ranking."

"The Pure Lotus Demon Flame was sealed in the Demon Flame Plain by the Pure Lotus Demon Saint in ancient times. To be honest, it's not that our families are incapable of subduing it. On the contrary, our eight ancient clans, the Ancient Void Dragon, and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan all have the ability to subdue it. After all, we are all great clans with thousands of years of heritage. It would be a lie to say that we don't have any trump cards."

"But in reality, it is precisely because everyone has the ability to subdue it that other races are not at ease letting one of our races subdue such an incredibly powerful force. So if our ancient race can devour and subdue this powerful newborn strange fire before the other ancient races can react, then I think, combined with my Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, it should be able to compete with the Soul Race's Void Devouring Flame."

"So what are your plans? Will you follow in the footsteps of Xiao Xuan of the Xiao Clan, using your immense strength to forcibly suppress the strange fire within your body, or will you, like Yan Jin of the Yan Clan, fuse the two strange fires into a completely new one?"

"Both options are excellent, but if handled carelessly, the consequences could be disastrous. Don't let your strength decline instead of improve, making me the strongest person in the clan. If that happens, I can't guarantee I won't covet the position of clan leader," Gu Lie said with a smile.

"Haha, if you're interested in the position of clan leader, feel free to take it," Gu Yuan replied with a smile.

Gu Lie's words were, of course, just a joke. If what he said were true, Gu Yuan would still be able to firmly hold onto his position as clan leader. After all, although the three immortals of the Gu clan looked down on Gu Yuan in their words, they were actually all under Gu Yuan's command.

Gu Lie himself was a powerful early-stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng. If he could reach the peak of the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm, he might truly not take the three old guys from the late-stage Seven-Star Dou Sheng realm of the Gu Clan Three Immortals seriously. However, Gu Lie knew very well that his breakthrough to the Eight-Star Dou Sheng realm was largely due to luck.

"What Xiao Liezi said makes a lot of sense. I happened to be there when Xiao Xuanzi fused three different flames. That Xiao Xuanzi of the Xiao clan used the volcanic stone flame as the core, supplemented by the Three Thousand Burning Flames and the Yin-Yang Twin Flames, rotating them around the body and forcibly suppressing them within his body. Several hundred years ago, Yan Jin announced the fusion of different flames, which was to fuse the volcanic stone flame with the Nine Nether Golden Ancestral Flame to create a new different flame. Back then, Xiao Yuanzi, you also sparred with him on different flames, and Yan Jin's fused different flame was able to contend with your Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame without being at a disadvantage. Therefore, if that is truly a third or fourth ranked different flame, and if it can be fused with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, surpassing the strength of the Void Devouring Flame, I think it should be without a doubt," Gu Lan analyzed.

After listening to Gu Lan's account, Gu Cang felt a lingering doubt: "Have you noticed that both Xiao Xuan and Yan Jin, whether through forced absorption or fusion, are connected to volcanic stone flames? Could it be that besides their astonishing explosive power, these volcanic stone flames also have the effect of catalyzing the fusion of different flames?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Dao wholeheartedly agreed: "Brother Cang is absolutely right. Clan Chief, should our Ancient Clan also send someone to the mainland to find another volcanic rock flame? Even if we ultimately find that it has no special use, it can still allow us old folks to absorb some and improve our combat strength."

Gu Lan, the oldest among them, gently combed his pale beard, nodded slightly in agreement, and then slowly spoke:

"What you say is absolutely right. Strange Fires are spiritual treasures of heaven and earth, and no matter where they are ranked on the Strange Fire Ranking, they are all worthy of our cherishing. In the past, our eight ancient clans were overconfident and neglected many things, especially our ancient clan. Not only were the Strange Fires ranked in the bottom fifteen of the Strange Fire Ranking looked down upon, but even those outside the top ten were often treated coldly. Since obtaining the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, our ancient clan has paid even less attention to the dynamics of the Strange Fire world."

"Brother Lan is absolutely right. Although the five people who serve as permanent directors of the Elder Council are all at the late stage of the Five-Star Dou Sheng realm, Gu Qiu's combat strength has always been the highest among the permanent directors of the Elder Council because he possesses the Xuanhuang Flame, which ranks twenty-third on the Strange Flame Ranking."

Gu Yuan immediately stood up and methodically deployed the plan: "In that case, Gu Lie, quickly send two Black Annihilation Army squads to meet with Xun'er immediately and try to win over that Dou Zong expert. Later, I will arrange for Elder Gu Qiu to secretly accompany us. He also possesses a strange fire, which will make things more convenient for him."

Gu Lie responded, "Yes, sir! But clan leader, what if that person refuses to submit to my Gu clan?"

Gu Yuan: "Hmph, if you're unwilling, then..."
