Chapter 387: The War God of Fire
Countless Star Fires surged into Xiao Yi's body.
Such an immense number, even if merely absorbed passively, would take a considerable amount of time.
Xiao Yi basked in the midst of these Star Flames, his face showing satisfaction and invigoration.
Seizing the idle moment, he proceeded to introspect once again.
At the very top of his Small World, the center showcased the Ice and Fire Golden Core, flanked by the Fire Control Beast Martial Soul and the Ice Phoenix Sword Soul.
One on each side.
Now, there was also a massive Golden Core Embryo situated below these three.
And naturally, at the very bottom, lay the Qi Spring.
The Primordial Power in the Qi Spring continuously rose in intensity.
Before long, it had reached sixty percent.
This proved that his Cultivation had now reached the Earth Origin Sixth Layer.
Meanwhile, half with Fire Attribute Elemental Power and half with Ice Attribute Elemental Power,
On the side of the Fire Attribute Elemental Power, strands of Flame Aura drifted and rose.
Reaching the base of the Dan Medicine Embryo.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi furrowed his eyebrows.
"The Fire Attribute Elemental Power is actually slowly refining the Dan Medicine Embryo?"
The massive Elixir was still only an embryo.
But the potency of all the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures from the entire Medicine Tower had already been bestowed upon it.
All it waited for was complete refinement to take shape.
However, the Fire Attribute Elemental Power, after all, was just Elemental Power, imbued with a Flame Aura, but not actual flames.
Previously, the terrifyingly hot external Star Fire required half an hour to complete its refinement.
At present, relying solely on this Fire Attribute Elemental Power, it would likely take an extremely long time.
Perhaps even longer than a year and a half.
Yet, Xiao Yi did not perceive anything amiss.
Instead, he felt as if the Ice Phoenix Sword had intentionally allowed this slow process.
The Fire Attribute Elemental Power, being impeccably pure, meant that this gradual refinement implied a meaning of meticulous care creating exquisite results.
In other words, this massive Elixir could potentially take form in a more perfect state.
It would just take more time than usual.
After a while, Xiao Yi shook his head and concluded his introspection.
Since the Ice Phoenix Sword had absorbed the massive Elixir,
He might as well let it refine on its accord.
After all, despite the terrifying potency contained within the massive Elixir,
It had formed on its own without any pill recipe.
He had no knowledge of what the final Elixir would become, so it was better to let it take shape on its own.
Of course, Xiao Yi harbored some expectations.
What surprise would the real formation of this massive Elixir bring him?
Or rather, how much assistance would it provide him?
Though the process would undoubtedly take a very long time, this did not diminish the joy Xiao Yi felt at the moment.
Around him, the boundless Star Fire still continuously poured into his body, transforming into pure power.
Taking advantage of the leisure, Xiao Yi planned to integrate the Star Fire, which was the fourth type of flame, as well.
With a loud bang, the Three-colored Flames condensed in his left hand.
The Star Fire formed in his right hand.
Both flames shot towards the sky, beginning to merge.
After about a hundred failures,
The two flames finally began to blend successfully.
After half an hour, a new and stable Four-colored Flame materialized.
"It's done," Xiao Yi said with a joyous smile.
Without question, the Four-colored Flames were far stronger than the Three-colored Flames.
The Nine Yang Reincarnation Technique aimed to merge nine types of the strongest flames in the world.
With every successful integration, its power did not simply multiply by several times.
Instead, it surged significantly, escalating to the next level of power.
At this time, the Star Fire within the Medicine Tower's 33rd layer had been largely absorbed.
Xiao Yi's Cultivation had reached the Earth Origin Seventh Layer.
Another series of minutes passed.
His Cultivation skyrocketed to the Earth Origin Eighth Layer.
In such a short time, Xiao Yi's Cultivation had jumped three levels.
An astonishing feat.
Yet in reality, this was the opportunity he had gained through a life-and-death struggle.
Moreover, the Star Fire accumulated by Medicine King Valley over hundreds of years had been fully absorbed by him.
Such an opportunity was one that might not occur again in a lifetime.
...
Elsewhere, outside the Medicine Tower, chaos ensued.
Mu Qingyun and his party of major powerhouses kept their distance from the Medicine Tower, yet they watched intently from afar.
The terrifying, rolling cyan and white flames at the top of the Medicine Tower captivated everyone's attention.
Seeing this, Mu Qingyun said, "My friends, it would be wise to lead your juniors and leave Medicine King Valley now."
"Within the Medicine Tower, I wonder if more severe dangers will erupt."
Mu Qingyun was very clear that once the Star Fire Demon on the 33rd floor of the spatial domain left the Medicine Tower,
then the entire Medicine King Valley would suffer.
Should it affect the experts from other powers, the trouble would be even greater.
The experts from various powers frowned upon hearing this and said, "Leave first? But what about the Royal Capital Alchemy Contest?"
Mu Qingyun replied, "The Alchemy Contest has ended."
"The situation of each competing alchemy genius has been recorded."
"The ranking has roughly been determined, with the first place being Elder Bai Mohan."
"The subsequent rankings will be announced in a few days."
"Indeed, the first place is Elder Bai." The experts from various powers shook their heads and then extended their congratulations.
Afterward, they left one after another.
After all the experts and alchemy geniuses from various powers had left,
Mu Qingyun shouted loudly, "Fourth Elder, immediately notify the other elders to come to the Medicine Tower."
"All Martial Artists above the Heavenly Origin Realm from Medicine King Valley must gather here."
"That Star Fire Demon must be eliminated."
"Otherwise, once it leaves Medicine King Valley, it will be a disaster for the entire Royal Capital."
"Yes." Elder Mu nodded and hurriedly went to make preparations.
Minutes later, dozens of figures broke through the sky and arrived.
"Great Elder." The figures landed and saluted one after another.
These dozens of people were all the Heavenly Origin Realm Martial Artists from Medicine King Valley,
including the nine elders as well as other scattered elders.
"Great Elder, what on earth is going on?" The first to step forward and ask was a person.
This person was the Second Elder from Medicine King Valley, also a renowned Alchemy Master in the Flame Martial Kingdom.
His Cultivation was second only to that of the Great Elder.
The Great Elder explained the situation.
The elders' faces changed color immediately.
"Previously, we had noticed the anomaly in the Medicine Tower."
"We thought it was just intense competition, but we didn't realize the situation was so serious."
At that moment,
the surging cyan and white flames at the top of the Medicine Tower suddenly dissipated rapidly, and the entire tower regained some tranquility.
"Hm? What happened?" Mu Qingyun and the others tightly furrowed their brows.
"Why has the Star Fire dissipated?"
"Has some other serious anomaly occurred?"
Mu Qingyun's expression changed, and he immediately led the elders into the Medicine Tower.
By the time they reached the 32nd floor,
Mu Qingyun's frown deepened, "What's going on? The spatial barrier on the 33rd floor has weakened."
"The Medicine Tower's prohibition and its autonomous refining effect have also stopped."
Confused, Mu Qingyun waved his hand,
and the elders instantly entered the 33rd floor space.
Before their eyes, there was still an expanse of Star Fire.
However, its density had greatly weakened.
At the center was a young man wearing a mask.
He was basking in the Star Fire, enjoying himself with a look of satisfaction.
The terrifying Star Fire, which not even a Martial Artist of Mu Qingyun's level dared to withstand head-on,
especially in such vast numbers and such density, was extremely formidable in power.
Yet this masked man remained unharmed, actually enjoying it?
The streaks of Star Fire, like sprites of flames, continually circled around him.
This was an exceedingly frightening sight.
The man bathing in the towering flames was like a Fire War God, radiating brilliance to the extent that others dared not look directly at him.
The formidable flames seemed to have submitted to him, obeying his commands.
After a long while, Mu Qingyun suddenly came to a realization, "Yi Xiao, what are you doing?"
"Stop it right now."
"The Star Fire of Medicine King Valley is not something you can absorb at will."
"No, wait." Mu Qingyun suddenly halted.
"All the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on the entire 33rd floor of the Medicine Tower have disappeared."
"This proves that the Medicine Tower's Alchemy prohibition has indeed been triggered."
"Logically, these materials should eventually be refined into Elixirs."
"Where did the Elixirs go?"
Mu Qingyun looked around and did not find any Elixirs, then his gaze locked onto Xiao Yi.
"Damn it, the Elixirs must have been taken by this brat."
"Capture him quickly and retrieve the Elixirs."
"Huh?" Xiao Yi, bathing in the Star Fire, suddenly opened his eyes.
A sharp flash of brilliance passed in his eyes, piercing and keen.
...
First update.
