Battle Through the Heavens: The Beginning of the Dou Sheng Inheritance

Chapter 125 An Unexpected Incident

"Gentlemen, can we make a deal?" Venerable Heavenly Fire said solemnly, "I will trade this nascent Fallen Heart Flame and my famous Five-Wheel Fire Technique in exchange for you taking me away from this magma world and helping me restore my soul power."

With a wave of his hand, Venerable Tianhuo summoned a snow-white storage ring from the nearby skeleton, which floated up and landed in his hand. With a flick of his finger, a pale white scroll appeared before him, depicting some birds and beasts engulfed in flames.

"This is my famous fighting technique from back then, the Five-Wheel Fire Technique. Hehe, calling it a fighting technique is a bit inaccurate; it should be called a fire control technique." Venerable Heavenly Fire tossed the scroll to Xiao Jue and said, "As long as you can help me, this thing is yours. If you doubt my sincerity, you can take the scroll first, and then help me repair my soul once you find there are no problems."

Xiao Jue unrolled the scroll and quickly swept his soul power across it.

"The Five-Round Fire Control Technique is a fire control method. The technique is divided into five levels, distinguished by the shape of the beasts: wolf, leopard, lion, tiger, and dragon. Each level has its own fire spirit. When the technique is mastered, the five beasts gather together to form the Five-Round Fire Array, which has the immense power to scorch the sea and burn the sky."

Xiao Jue's gaze slowly swept over the somewhat simple introduction, and then stopped on the last line of small print.

"If four of the five beasts are formed from different kinds of fire, this technique's power will be comparable to a Heaven-Rank Battle Skill!"

He then handed the scroll to Yao Lao beside him, saying that this fighting technique was quite suitable for Xiao Yan.

The old man laughed and said, "Don't worry, Venerable Tianhuo. Neither I nor this boy are murderers. On the contrary, we have another opportunity for you."

Venerable Heavenly Fire asked in confusion, "An opportunity?"

"Indeed." The old apothecary nodded. "Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Fate Pill?"

Venerable Heavenly Fire exclaimed with delight, "A Heavenly Fate Pill capable of reshaping the physical body!"

"That's right." Yao Lao nodded and told Tianhuo Venerable about the methods of reshaping the physical body with the three different flames.

"I need you to take the Heavenly Fate Pill to reshape your physical body, and then try to separate your body from your soul, and use my secret method to re-refine your physical body."

"If you cannot rebuild your physical body, I can also refine a second Heavenly Fate Pill to reshape it for you."

Venerable Heavenly Fire gave a bitter smile and said, "Having fallen to this state, do I have any other choice?"

The old apothecary asked, "In my opinion, you must have been quite powerful in life, so how did you die here?"

Venerable Tianhuo gazed at the young Fallen Heart Flame with a touch of nostalgia, and slowly said, "When I first came here, I discovered the traces of the Fallen Heart Flame. It took me several years to finally subdue it. The Fallen Heart Flame that I subdued should now be in your hands, with its offspring flames being devoured by your strange fire."

"Back then, relying on my skills, I thought I could go anywhere in the world. So after subduing the Fallen Heart Flame, I didn't leave. Instead, I curiously ventured into this magma world." Venerable Heavenly Fire spoke slowly with a hint of regret, as if he regretted his recklessness back then.

"After venturing deeper into the magma world, I discovered another seed of the Fallen Heart Flame. This discovery delighted me, and I greedily wanted to collect the seed of the Fallen Heart Flame as well."

"As a result, the two different flames, when fused into my body, not only failed to merge perfectly, but instead repelled each other like enemies. That battle between the different flames left me severely injured, and at that moment, I was attacked," Venerable Heavenly Fire sighed.

"This nascent Fallen Heart Flame is the seed of the original Fallen Heart Flame."

"Are they those fire lizardmen?" Yao Lao asked. "Even if you're severely injured, those fire lizardmen shouldn't be able to harm you, right?"

"Those fire lizardmen seem to be the original creatures here. There are a great many of them, and there are many super strong people among them who are comparable to Dou Zun. On that occasion, I encountered a lizardman of the Dou Zun level."

"If I were at my peak, I certainly wouldn't have been afraid of it, but unfortunately, the clash between the two different flames left me severely injured. You can guess what happened next. I was fatally wounded after that battle. Fortunately, these lizardmen's experts don't understand spatial power, so they have always had difficulty finding my hiding place."

A hint of astonishment flickered in Venerable Tianhuo's eyes, as if that great battle from back then still left a deep impression on him.

"Although I successfully concealed my presence, I was also seriously injured. Soon after, my body gradually collapsed. In my final moments, I released the mature Fallen Heart Flame that I had subdued, and my soul attached itself to that strange fire seed in an attempt to preserve it."

"But over the years, my soul has gradually become unable to hold on. If no one enters here in the next few years, my soul may completely dissipate."

The old apothecary flicked his finger and gave two portions of Soul Nourishing Elixir to Venerable Heavenly Fire, saying, "Absorb this Soul Nourishing Elixir first. After we leave, I will prepare a spiritual liquid for you to restore your soul."

Venerable Heavenly Fire cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

Xiao Jue took out the Yin-Yang Cauldron and put the nascent Fallen Heart Flame into it. Seeing this, Venerable Heavenly Fire grasped the snow-white storage ring, then looked at the pile of bones and sighed, "Please also put away my bones. The bones of a Dou Zun powerhouse also have some special uses."

Xiao Jue naturally wouldn't refuse Heavenly Fire Venerable's request. With a wave of his hand, a suction force surged out, drawing all the bones into his storage ring.

The latest novel is first published here!

Venerable Tianhuo said, "Those fire lizardmen are extremely sensitive to the flow of magma. They will notice any slight movement in the magma. In addition, their numbers are huge, and the more you kill them, the more they will multiply. In the end, they may even attract the real powerhouses of their tribe, which would be troublesome."

"However, these creatures can only survive in lava; once they leave the lava, they will die automatically, just like fish out of water."

"Go into your storage ring and refine the Soul Nourishing Life Form first," Xiao Jue said. "We'll leave here now."

Immediately, Yao Lao and Tian Huo Zun Zhe entered the white storage ring and the bone flame ring respectively. Xiao Jue put the two storage rings, one black and one white, on his hand. Ripples appeared in the space, and Xiao Jue's figure disappeared.

Beneath that unreachable world of crimson magma, a massive pillar of light, several meters in size, slowly opened, its shape resembling a pair of eyes as it gently closed.

"The scent of a child..."

An incredibly terrifying spatial force enveloped Xiao Jue's body, taking him to the deepest level of the endless magma world. This was a mysterious space filled with endless darkness and silence, permeated with an ancient and vicissitudes-like atmosphere.
