Battle Through the Heavens: Starting from the Jia Ma Empire

Chapter 208 On the Verge of Eruption

High in the sky in front of Han Feng and the others, Su Qian's expression was somewhat grim. Although he had already confirmed the plan with Lin Feng and the others, he had not expected the Fallen Heart Flame to be so violent.

It's important to understand that the reason Canaan Academy became the number one academy on the continent is not only because it was willing to invest resources in cultivating its disciples, but also because many students whose talent wasn't top-tier could accelerate their cultivation and become geniuses after entering the inner academy through their own efforts and by using the Fallen Heart Flame.

Now, due to this sudden change, the Fallen Heart Flame cultivation accelerator is in danger of going out of control. How can he calmly deal with Han Feng's provocation at this time?

"Elder, release control of the Fallen Heart Flame! I'll handle everything!"

Just then, Lin Feng's voice slowly entered Elder Su Qian's ears, causing his expression to ease slightly.

"Elder Lin Feng, I entrust everything to you!"

Remembering that Lin Feng had never broken his word before, and that he could no longer see the aura on Lin Feng's body, Elder Su Qian did not think much of it and sent a telepathic message to the many elders who were trying their best to maintain the seal.

"Elders, in a moment, you shall all feign insufficient fighting spirit, and be unable to maintain the seal any longer, in order to preserve your own strength!"

After hearing this, the elders had some doubts, but the prestige of the Grand Elder over the years still played a role at this crucial moment. The elders exchanged glances and nodded almost imperceptibly.

Just as the elders were preparing to find an opportunity to break the seal on the Fallen Heart Flame at the right time, Elder Su Qian, watching Han Feng from afar, could no longer suppress his inner desire.

"Elder Su Qian, rare and precious treasures belong to those with virtue. Since you are so ignorant of the times, don't blame our sect for disrespecting Canaan Academy!"

As Han Feng finished speaking, a ball of azure flame slowly appeared in his palm. With a flick of his hand, the azure flame transformed into a vast ocean around him.

"The mutual attraction between different flames cannot be stopped by your mere seals!"

"What?!"

The moment the Sea Heart Flame appeared, the Fallen Heart Flame, which had not yet fully charged at the seal, could no longer suppress its inner turmoil and frantically attacked the seal surrounding the black tower.

"Click."

After an unknown amount of time, a faint sound of something breaking echoed in the surrounding world. Although the sound was small, everyone present was a powerful expert at the level of Dou Wang or above, and their senses were extremely sharp, so they could naturally hear it.

Han Feng and Elder Su Qian, who were most concerned about the seal, were now staring intently at the black tower that sealed the Fallen Heart Flame. However, their gazes were quite different.

Han Feng's eyes burned with greed, while Elder Su Qian's gaze was somewhat strange, outwardly appearing quite worried. However, upon closer inspection, one could detect a discordant element, but fortunately, everyone's attention was focused on the Black Tower, so no one noticed this oddity.

"Hiss hiss hiss"

After a strange roar, the crowd suddenly became scorching hot, and their hearts seemed to become extremely irritable, as if they were about to fight at the slightest provocation.

Of course, the weakest of the Canaan Academy and Black Corner Region members remaining here were elders at the Dou Wang level, so they hadn't anticipated this sudden situation. However, the power of this ability was naturally greatly reduced when used against so many powerful individuals simultaneously.

Even powerful Dou Zong experts like the Gold and Silver Elders, whose powerful Dou Qi has gradually begun to permeate spatial power, can completely ignore this area-wide Heart Flame burning power.

Han Feng, possessing a different kind of fire, displayed an even more exaggerated performance. His entire body ignited with azure flames, which, in just a few moments, completely devoured the inner fire within his body. Furthermore, if someone with a keen sense of perception were present, they could even detect that the power of this Sea Heart Flame had subtly increased slightly afterward.

"As expected of the Fallen Heart Flame!"

Han Feng licked his lips, the burning desire within him almost drying them out.

"This sect must obtain you! With the combined power of two different flames, we could even dominate the entire Black Corner Region, gradually eroding the entire Northwest Continent. No matter how barren the Northwest Continent may be, it would still be enough to achieve the Dou Zun realm. In the future, perhaps I, Han Feng, will even be able to return to the Central Continent!"

Meanwhile, in a secluded corner in the distance, a master and apprentice silently watched all of this, or rather, it was the old man in white who was silently watching.

Xiao Yan looked at his master with some worry. Ever since the man covered in sea blue appeared, he had not said a word, just watched quietly, his eyes flashing with many colors, as if he had returned to that day.

Standing to the side, Xiao Yan knew that it was his beastly senior brother—no, he was just a traitor, and today he would avenge their master!

"Little Yanzi, today, your master will personally take action!"

After a long silence, Yao Chen spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice, appearing as if he had aged even more.

"Master!"

"Little Yanzi, no need for further words. Today, I will personally settle things with this beast!"

"yes!"

Looking at his teacher's expression, Xiao Yan seemed to understand something. He stopped talking and took the initiative to relinquish control of his body, briefly letting Yao Chen take over.

Around the Black Tower, many elders from Canaan Academy seemed to sense that the situation was not good and that they could no longer maintain the seal. They quickly retreated to Elder Su Qian's side, each of them staring at the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower with grim expressions.

"roar"

A roar, neither snake nor dragon, resounded. Without the obstruction of the Black Tower, an even more powerful Heart Flame ignited in everyone's hearts. This immense power forced even the Dou Wang elders to divert some of their energy to suppress the raging Dou Qi within their bodies.

The performance of the many Battle Kings in the Black Corner Region was far worse.

Having spent years mingling in the chaotic Black Corner Region, where everyone is a madman, very few care about their foundation. They don't care if a method is unorthodox or evil, as long as it offers an opportunity for improvement; the Blood Sect, which Lin Feng wiped out, is a prime example.

Therefore, when the Fallen Heart Flame burned within his body, his fragile battle qi instantly became riddled with flaws, forcing him to devote most of his energy to suppressing it.

"Hmph!" Seeing the disheveled state of his allies, Han Feng's expression turned slightly cold. Fortunately, his main force, including the two elders, Jin and Yin, remained unaffected.

"Gentlemen, please help me stop these Canaan Academy people. It should only take two hours at most!"

Turning to his hired help, Han Feng explained his plan, but he didn't care about their unpleasant expressions; he wasn't one to easily repay favors.

"Sea Heart Flame, Refine Fire and Condense Form!"

Han Feng shouted, and the sky was filled with azure flames, which spread rapidly towards the Fallen Heart Flame, which had been standing still since he left the pass.

"Han Feng, you'll never get your hands on the Fallen Heart Flame!"

Seeing Han Feng's actions, Elder Su Qian was furious. Although Lin Feng's guarantee gave him confidence, as the academy's Grand Elder, he could not stand idly by and watch Han Feng act so arrogantly.

"Hahaha, Elder Su Qian, I have long heard of your formidable reputation. How about I become your opponent today?"

Just as Elder Su Qian was heading straight for Han Feng, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Elder Su Qian and blocked him.

"It's you, Old Man Eagle Mountain!"

Su Qian's pupils contracted sharply. "It seems we can only rely entirely on Lin Feng from now on. Why haven't Hu Qian and Wu Tianlang arrived yet?!"

"Unfortunately, the two elders who were promoted in the academy went on a trip several months ago, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a passive position now."

"Han Feng, don't even think about getting the Strange Flame!"

Just as Elder Su Qian was muttering to himself, two figures appeared one after the other in the distant sky. They were Wu Tianlang, the leader of the enforcement team, and Hu Qian, the vice dean of the outer academy, who had rushed over with all their might.

"There's no need for you two to rush!"

Just as the two were flying at high speed, attempting to intercept Han Feng, the two figures slowly joined forces to unleash a powerful attack, the enormous palm print instantly bringing them to a halt.

"Elders Jin and Yin, you've actually advanced to the Dou Zong realm as well!"

Hu Qian squinted slightly, stroking his beard, but appeared much calmer. Compared to Su Qian, he had absolute faith in Lin Feng, and hearing that Lin Feng was involved in this plan, he was completely at ease.

"Haha, this is all thanks to Mr. Han Feng's help. By the way, didn't you, Hu Qian, also advance to the Dou Zong level? Congratulations!"

The elder Jin offered his congratulations, but his expression betrayed a hint of forced humor.

"Elders Jin and Yin, I wonder what benefits Han Feng has given you to make you work so hard for him? Don't you know the prestige of Canaan Academy?"

Vice Dean Hu Qian seemed to have met a good friend. Instead of rushing into a fight, he started chatting casually, subtly gathering information.

"Hahaha, as expected of Vice Dean Hu Qian, known as the Old Fox. However," Elder Jin paused, his tone turning cold, "no matter what you say today, you will not be able to pass before my brother and me!"

The atmosphere immediately became tense after these words were spoken.

Meanwhile, Han Feng, who had arrived before the Fallen Heart Flame, looked somewhat hesitant, because the Fallen Heart Flame before him was truly too strange. Although its enormous body swayed from time to time, its energy was so unstable, as if its power had decreased by thousands of years compared to when it was breaking through the seal.

"How is that possible!"

Just as Han Feng was about to examine the situation more closely, his Sea Heart Flame trembled again, clearly a signal that another strange fire had appeared in the arena. However, what shocked him the most, and even filled him with a sense of dread, was that the aura of this strange fire seemed to be something he had sensed many years ago.

"Han Feng, it's been a long time!"

Just as Han Feng hesitated to turn around, his body stiff, a voice that, though somewhat aged, sounded very familiar came from behind him.

"Master!"

Han Feng turned around with difficulty, and what came into view was a young man with a resolute face. However, Han Feng would never forget the strange white flame emanating from him, the feeling of it sometimes being cold and sometimes hot, and that ethereal temperament.

"Impossible! How could you still be alive!"

After Han Feng subconsciously murmured "Master," a word he used to say often, he seemed to fall into a frenzy, muttering things like "impossible" and "absolutely impossible."

"I personally administered the poison back then, how could you still be alive? Although the Soul Hall has always had a warrant for your arrest, that's only because that old bastard Mu Gu is unwilling to accept it. How could you really still be alive!?"

After a period of madness, Han Feng suddenly stopped and began to laugh inexplicably.

"It's all because you wouldn't give me the Burning Technique. It's just a small cultivation technique! You've already made so many sacrifices for me, why won't you even give me a cultivation technique? Hahaha, you deserve to end up in this miserable state, hahahaha."

Seeing Han Feng like this, Yao Chen couldn't help but feel a complex mix of emotions, a trace of sorrow flashing in his eyes. "Is this the child he saw in the maple forest back then?"

"That's the look in my eyes!"

Seemingly stung by Yao Chen's gaze, Han Feng went completely berserk. "You always look at me like that. Am I, Han Feng, really that pathetic?"

"Sigh!" Yao Chen sighed, severing the last vestiges of emotion in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was filled with cold indifference. "Today, let's settle this once and for all!"

"Hahaha," Han Feng suddenly burst into laughter upon hearing this, "Settle things? With your current appearance? Or with the help of these people from Canaan Academy, or perhaps you're this newly accepted disciple!!!"

Suddenly, Han Feng froze, carefully sensing the aura of the young man possessed by Yao Chen. This aura of Dou Qi circulation was correct.

"Yao Chen, you deserve to be in this state! You'd rather give it to this bumpkin from the Northwest Continent than hand over the Burning Blade Technique to me!"

As if he felt betrayed, Han Feng's roar was filled with grievance.

Hehehe

Just as the master and apprentice were about to settle their score, a strange laugh suddenly came from somewhere. The chilling sound immediately drew the attention of everyone present.

"Mr. Han Feng, this Yao Chen's soul is on my Soul Palace's wanted list. If you can help me capture him, I will help you three times for free!"

The moment Yao Chen appeared, the Iron Protector, hidden among the people of the Black Corner Region, could no longer contain his excitement. Black mist quickly spread from his cloak, instantly covering a section of the sky.

"Iron Guardian!"

After a moment's thought, Han Feng nodded to Protector Tie, "Protector Tie, I only need his storage ring; his soul body is yours!"
