Battle Through the Heavens: I confronted Xiao Yan, and he begged me to be his elder brother.

Chapter 71 The Power That Makes the Fallen Heart Flame Fear

Elder Su has long guarded the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. In terms of understanding the Fallen Heart Flame, there are no more than a handful of people in the academy who are more familiar with it than him.

Surprisingly, the attack was not hindered at all.

Before he could ponder this further, several figures in black robes sped towards him from afar, interrupting Elder Su's thoughts.

"Make your move!" A furious shout filled with excitement came from the black-robed man in the middle.

The next second, powerful streams of battle qi shot out, crashing into the barrier erected by the elders of Canaan Academy. Everything that had been painstakingly built shattered under the attack.

"Please hold them off for a moment," the black-robed man in the middle spoke again, and then plunged into the flames.

"Oh no, they're after the Fallen Heart Flame!" An elder's expression changed, and he exclaimed in alarm. He was about to stop them when someone blocked his way.

The elder turned his head and looked around, only to find that everyone, including Elder Su, was entangled and had no chance to stop the other party's actions.

They could only watch helplessly as the figure rushed into the flames.

A large number of bottles were spilled out and exploded with a loud bang, revealing a large amount of mist exuding a cold aura. The flames that had spread out immediately curled back.

As the flames shrank, an illusory flame gradually emerged, transforming into a fire dragon with its mouth opening and closing as if roaring.

"Fallen Heart Flame, you are mine!" The black-robed man's voice was filled with joy, and a large amount of battle aura surged from his body, enveloping the fire dragon in layers.

Then, the black-robed man's battle aura wings suddenly flapped, carrying him swiftly away in the opposite direction from the Heavenly Refining Tower.

Seeing this, the other men in black robes also left the battlefield.

However, the elders of Canaan Academy were unwilling to suffer this loss and attacked with all their might, resulting in the deaths of a small number of the black-robed men.

"No need to chase them." Elder Su raised his hand and called out to the elders who were preparing to give chase.

"Why not chase after them? The Fallen Heart Flame has been stolen. Without the Fallen Heart Flame, the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower is useless." An elder asked, puzzled.

He noticed that the other elders were also casting inquiring glances his way.

Elder Su smiled slightly: "It's alright, the other party took a fake one."

"What?"

"Not the original Fallen Heartflame?"

As soon as he finished speaking, many elders present showed great surprise.

Elder Su nodded: "Yes, I've been with the Fallen Heart Flame for so long that it has already developed sentience. It's very clever. What happened just now was merely a clone it conjured, possessing only a trace of power and unable to last long."

One elder pondered, "Hearing Elder Su's words, I also remember. When we fought the Fallen Heart Flame earlier, it showed very weak power. I initially thought it was because breaking through the seal had consumed too much energy, but now it seems we were all deceived!"

Several elders then shared their observations, generally agreeing that the Fallen Heart Flame's power was incorrect.

The other elders breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.

The Heavenly Flame Refining Tower's ability to accelerate cultivation largely relies on the heart fire of the Fallen Heart Flame, which purifies the fighting spirit within the body.

Although the Fallen Heart Flame has become increasingly difficult to suppress in recent years, we should make use of it for as long as possible before it fully erupts.

Elder Su said solemnly, "Now is not the time to relax. First, we must find the true form of the Fallen Heart Flame. If it is indeed hidden in the academy, it poses a great threat to the students' lives. Second, the attackers dared to attack Canaan Academy. We must retaliate."

"yes!"

The elders spoke with serious expressions.

Next, the elders split into two groups. One group went to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower to search for the Fallen Heart Flame, while the other group interrogated the remaining survivors to find out who was organizing the operation.

……

Elder Su walked in front, followed closely by Elder Lin and the others, their faces solemn as they descended the tower, quickly reaching the bottom.

The array at the wellhead that was originally used to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame has become ineffective, with no energy fluctuations whatsoever.

A scorching heat continuously emanated from it.

Elder Su stepped aside, allowing Elder Lin to walk to the front.

"Old Lin, you usually have the most contact with the Fallen Heart Flame, quickly check if its aura is still there," Elder Su said anxiously.

"Hmm." Elder Lin nodded, then closed his eyes, and a faint energy emanated from his body.

Seeing this, Elder Su silently took two steps back.

After a few breaths, Elder Lin opened his eyes, his expression grim: "Strange, there's one thing I'm certain of: the aura of the Fallen Heart Flame was present at the cave entrance, but..."

At this point, Elder Lin paused, a look of disbelief on his face.

"But what? Tell me quickly!" an elder urged impatiently.

Elder Lin's gaze met Elder Su's: "But it didn't come out. No, that's not right! To be precise, it seems to have encountered something it was afraid of. It was going to take the opportunity to run out, but in the end it retreated, and even... ran far away."

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

hiss!

As soon as Elder Lin finished speaking, a collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Some elders looked on with grave expressions, their eyes scanning the surroundings warily.

The Fallen Heart Flame is a strange flame that has been sealed at the bottom of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower for many years. Its strength has been increasing, and recently, even the elders working together sometimes cannot suppress it.

At this moment, something appeared that even the Fallen Heart Flame would fear?

A chill ran through everyone.

Elder Su frowned and pondered for a moment: "This matter must be reported to the old dean and the others. It is no longer something we can handle. Everyone, first fix the seal, and then focus on dealing with those guys who attacked Canaan Academy today."

Elder Lin nodded upon hearing this. This was the most appropriate method. The situation down in the well was unclear. If they went down rashly, it might be a scheme by the Fallen Heart Flame.

Then they are very likely to be completely wiped out.

After all, the area below is a world of magma, rich in fire-attribute energy, making it a natural battleground for the Fallen Heart Flame.

Soon, the wellhead was sealed again. The elders carefully inspected each level of the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower and announced that the tower would be temporarily sealed off.

Since the heart fire of the Fallen Heart Flame no longer exists inside the tower, it can no longer accelerate cultivation.

……

Bottom of the Heavenly Fire Refining Tower.

Within the blinding lava, a figure was speeding through the air, surrounded by flames.

"You can't escape." Hun Cang's gaze was fixed on a phantom flame in front of him, and he increased his speed once again.

He had previously used the Suppressing Burning Technique to sense the strange fire and discovered that the Fallen Heart Flame was still at the bottom of the tower, so he jumped down from the well without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, the Fallen Heart Flame was just about to come out when it saw Hun Cang's actions and was startled.

When it remembered to prepare to attack, it suddenly discovered that the aura emanating from Hun Cang's body was the same as the aura brought back by the stone tablet a long time ago.

The next second, Fallen Heartflame decisively turned and fled into the magma.

The aura emanating from the stone tablet that day was not strong, but it possessed a power that instilled fear in the very depths of its soul.

Fallen Heart Flame wanted to rush out and finish him off, but was stopped by a group of elders.
