Chapter 279: 279
Because, Celestial Burial Academy once had a genius Pharmacist who attempted to melt the Purple Cold Ice with a top hundred Abnormal Fire.
But none succeeded.
Indeed, as Mu Yunchun had guessed, once the Purple Cold Aura that emerged from the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was completely burnt off, the Purple Cold Aura still continued to surge out from the cauldron relentlessly.
And the outpouring Purple Cold Aura grew stronger and stronger.
After a few breaths, the Flame of Star in Xiaotian’s palm was completely suppressed.
The Purple Cold Aura once again engulfed Xiaotian.
He Zhen saw this and laughed heartily, his laughter wild, “I told you he didn’t know whether he was alive or dead, so what if he has a top hundred Abnormal Fire, soon he’ll be frozen stiff like a dead chicken!”
“Whether he has a top hundred Abnormal Fire or not, the outcome is the same, it’s just a matter of a few extra breaths.”
Seeing the Purple Cold Aura about to swallow Xiaotian again, Mu Yunchun inwardly lamented what a pity it was.
After all, with a top hundred Abnormal Fire, this young man could have had a great future, and now he was going to die under the Purple Cold Aura.
Just as the Purple Cold Aura was about to overwhelm Xiaotian, suddenly, a Phoenix’s cry resounded through Heaven and Earth.
Then, another Phoenix’s cry followed.
A total of nine Phoenix cries echoed.
Startling golden light burst forth from Xiaotian’s body and soared into the sky.
As the golden light shot into the sky, it even burst through the roof of the great hall and directly into the high heavens.
The entire Medicine Hall trembled.
At this moment, all the experts on the mountain where the Medicine Hall stood were shocked, looking up at the golden light in the sky.
Even the experts from the neighboring academy peaks were startled by this golden light.
As the golden light surged up, streams of golden flames rose into the sky, and the great hall, once again enveloped in Purple Cold Aura, was brilliantly illuminated, with all the Purple Cold Aura burnt off again.
The Purple Cold Aura that was devouring Xiaotian was also completely incinerated by the golden flames.
Nine Phoenixes, enshrouded in golden flames, coiled around Xiaotian’s body.
The golden waves of fire rolled and surged, covering the sky and the earth.
Startled by the surging golden flames, all the students who were in the great hall hurriedly fled.
“Top ten Abnormal Fire, Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame!” exclaimed He Zhen in shock.
Mu Yunchun’s cherry lips were also agape at their widest, her chest heaving, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief.
Zuo Qiu and the steward were also frightened.
“He actually subdued two great Abnormal Fires!”
“Which family does he belong to? When did the Buddha Source Empire produce such a monstrous talent?”
Outside the great hall, every student was shocked.
To subdue a top hundred Abnormal Fire in Celestial Burial Academy was as rare as phoenix feathers and Qilin horns; to subdue a top ten Abnormal Fire, even in the Buddha Source Empire, was an incredibly monstrous existence.
Not to mention subduing both the Flame of Star and the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame at the same time.
The Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame, rightfully ranked ninth among Abnormal Fires, completely pushed back the Purple Cold Aura under its suppressive power, retreating back into the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.
All traces of the cold in every corner of the great hall vanished.
“So what if he possesses the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame? It’s still impossible to melt the Purple Cold Ice!” said He Zhen with an ugly expression amidst his shock.
Thousands of years ago, Celestial Burial Academy had a genius Pharmacist who also used a top ten Abnormal Fire to burn the Purple Cold Ice. It was the eighth-ranked Crimson Sunflame, yet it failed to melt the Purple Cold Ice.
As He Zhen said, though the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame was powerful, it could only compress the Purple Cold Aura back into the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron. When the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame attempted to flood into the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, it was continuously blocked by the Purple Cold Aura.
“It seems that even the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame cannot melt the Purple Cold Ice!” said an expert outside the great hall, shaking his head: “It’s said that even Lord Qian Feiyu’s Crimson Sunflame couldn’t melt the Purple Cold Ice.”
Qian Feiyu was precisely that genius Pharmacist from thousands of years ago at Celestial Burial Academy.
Mu Yunchun also went from shock to regret.
The task steward also woke from his excitement, shaking his head.
Yang Xiaotian summoned all his strength to drive the power of the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame.
Suddenly, the brilliance of the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame surged once more, the nine fiery golden phoenixes pounced toward the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron, and a golden sea of fire formed around the cauldron under the entwining grip of the phoenixes.
The Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was scorched red-hot.
As Yang Xiaotian mustered all his strength to invoke the power of the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame, the sky above the mountain where the Medicine Hall stood burned a fiery red.
In the skies above the mountain, the shadows of nine golden phoenixes gradually emerged.
“It’s the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame!”
“Which family expert has summoned the power of the Nine Phoenixes Golden Flame?”
Masters of the surrounding mountains were astounded.
Soon, the news spread.
It even alarmed the high ranks of the Celestial Burial Academy.
After all, the Celestial Burial Academy hasn’t seen a talented student with a top ten Abnormal Fire for many years.
Upon receiving the news, Wang Qing, the headmaster of the Celestial Burial Academy, had his subordinates inquire what was happening; soon, they learned that a young boy named Yang Xiaotian had taken on the task involving the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.
“This Yang Xiaotian just joined the academy today. He passed the stone stele test with a score of only one hundred and one,” said an Elder of the Celestial Burial Academy.
“Just one hundred and one?” After his initial astonishment, Wang Qing then laughed and said, “He must have concealed his combat power and talent. Back in the day, Qian Feiyu’s talent test was nearly three thousand. Even if this Yang Xiaotian is not as talented as Qian Feiyu, his real talent must also be around two thousand.”
He continued laughing, “It’s been over three thousand years since our Celestial Burial Academy has seen a pharmaceutical genius with a top ten Abnormal Fire, hasn’t it? Now that one has finally appeared, this is indeed a cause for celebration.”
The academy Elder nodded and laughed in agreement, “However, it’s a pity that Yang Xiaotian still won’t be able to melt the Purple Cold Ice.”
As soon as they finished speaking, the ground began to tremble suddenly.
It started with a slight tremor, then the shaking grew stronger and more intense.
At first, Wang Qing didn’t pay much attention, but seeing the ground shaking more and more violently, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
“What’s going on?” Wang Qing was filled with disbelief and concern.
He felt as though something was surging up from deep beneath the ground.
Both Elders were startled and quickly exited the hall, discovering not only their mountain was shaking, but the surrounding peaks were as well.
Wang Qing looked towards a certain direction in front of him, feeling that the source of the vibration was coming from the Medicine Hall.
“It’s the Medicine Hall, something’s happened at the Medicine Hall!” Wang Qing’s face changed, and he soared into the sky, hastily flying towards the Medicine Hall.
The Elder hurriedly followed suit.
As Wang Qing hurried toward the Medicine Hall, he saw from afar astonishing earthy yellow flames surging up into the sky, covering everything in sight. From a distance, it looked like a continent was suspended above the Medicine Hall.
Wang Qing was thunderstruck, his voice shaking, “It’s the Earth Flame! This is the Earth Flame!”
The Elder was also stunned.
The Earth Flame!
Number one on the Abnormal Fire List!
Who has harnessed the Earth Flame?
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, could it be?
At that moment, within the Medicine Hall, the Earth Flame kept spurting out from beneath Yang Xiaotian’s feet, like an unending river. With a furious barrage from Yang Xiaotian’s palms, it blasted into the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.
The Purple Cold Aura inside the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron was instantly dispersed.
Following that, with an unstoppable momentum, the Earth Flame propelled deeper into the Heavenly Buddha Cauldron.
