Chapter 516 - 435: A Brand New Venerable?

Chapter 516: Chapter 435: A Brand New Venerable?

In truth, he too had refined the Cyan Lotus Earth Core Flame.

Thus, he knew full well that this particular Anomalous Flame possessed a special ability: it could allow a Fire Path Fierce Beast to be reborn through a trial by fire.

Moreover, this Anomalous Flame could trigger volcanic eruptions and possessed the power to destroy nature itself.

In the current circumstances, it wasn’t all that surprising to see the Cyan Lotus Earth Core Flame on the Red-Brown Horse.

「One day and one night later.」

The fiery-red blood pool roiled violently, its temperature scalding as bubbles surfaced in a frantic rush.

At that moment, the Cyan Lotus Earth Core Flame spread from the bottom of the blood pool to the air above it.

In the blink of an eye, the blood pool transformed. A colossal Cyan Lotus slowly rose from its depths, a bud poised to bloom.

Divine light flowed over the lotus as it slowly began to blossom.

A completely new Red-Brown Horse appeared!

The Red-Brown Horse looked as if it were formed from condensed flame. Its entire body was crimson, covered in formidable scales, and its head now faintly resembled that of a Qilin—truly a majestic sight.

It now possessed the faintest trace of a Fire Qilin’s aura.

But without some great fortuitous encounter, it would likely never be able to transform into a true Fire Qilin in its lifetime.

At this moment, it stood upon the pool of fire, looking up at Fang Yang with a hesitant and uncertain gaze.

With a low hum, the Vermilion Bird Feather shot through the void. It transformed into a small Vermilion Bird, covered in peculiar runes, and plunged into the Red-Brown Horse’s body.

A moment later, a flicker of understanding appeared in the Red-Brown Horse’s eyes as it comprehended the full story.

It slowly walked over to Fang Yang’s side. Following Emperor Wushuang’s command, it lowered its head, awaiting Fang Yang’s decision.

So, the Vermilion Bird Feather had also carried a message!

’The Fire Qilin Primordial Ancestor of the Ten Thousand Flames Hall...’ Fang Yang’s thoughts began to wander as he looked at the Red-Brown Horse.

He thought of the Frost White steed and the White Feathered Eagle.

’Perhaps, by following the path of the Ten Thousand Flames Saint Venerable, I could cultivate a Frost White Qilin?!’

The thought flashed through his mind in an instant.

His expression was calm as he lightly waved his sleeve, and a gentle breeze swept by.

In that moment, as if using the Divine Technique of "Universe in a Sleeve," he stored the Red-Brown Horse away.

Needless to say, the moment he started walking, Yu Zither Immortal fell in step right behind him, ever vigilant of their surroundings.

......

Outside the Saint Palace, the Vermilion Bird Divine Flame flared, burning fiercely and forming a domain that kept out unwelcome onlookers.

Inside the Saint Palace, Chains of Order crisscrossed the air, running through everything to seal Emperor Wushuang, enabling him to better seal himself away.

One body, two souls! A past life and a present one!

For something like this to be genuinely happening to Emperor Wushuang was simply too bizarre.

It could only be said that the life stories of every Venerable were simply too exaggerated.

So much so that future generations would dismiss them as unbelievable fantasies.

At this moment, Fang Yang narrowed his eyes and gazed ahead.

Before him, the void was in turmoil, riddled with a dense web of spatial fissures.

All sorts of Flame Spirits had transformed into Chains of Order, crisscrossing the air like an inescapable net cast from heaven to earth.

Beneath this chaotic void, Emperor Wushuang sat cross-legged on a meditation mat, his hair disheveled.

A hot wind swept by, lifting his hair and revealing his eyes.

And what a gaze it was.

Misty and veiled, they held an endless, ancient sorrow, as if they had seen through the very cycles of time and reincarnation.

BOOM—

The moment he raised his eyes, disaster struck.

In an instant, the Chains of Order erupted, violently suppressing his body and Soul.

This peculiar power had already nullified all his abilities, leaving behind only faint wisps of a baleful aura.

At this moment, he appeared lofty and incomparably cold.

It was clear he was no longer the graceful, white-robed immortal from before.

He was more like a... peerless emperor who had conquered all the heavens and ten thousand realms!

He saw Fang Yang, but he did not call out, his expression remaining perfectly calm.

*Hiss—*

At his side, Yu Zither Immortal sucked in a sharp breath, her scalp tingling with apprehension.

’So, the legends were true!’

"Here is the Red-Brown Horse you wanted." Fang Yang said nonchalantly. With a wave of his sleeve, the Red-Brown Horse appeared.

The moment it appeared, the Red-Brown Horse let out a long, high-pitched neigh and began to run circles around Emperor Wushuang.

WHOOSH! The Cyan Lotus Earth Core Flame erupted from beneath its hooves, burning fiercely before coalescing on the ground into the pattern of a furnace.

The instant the furnace pattern appeared, a brilliant yellow divine radiance burst from Emperor Wushuang’s body, making him shine like a peerless Sacred Artifact.

With a thunderous bang, a furnace materialized from within Emperor Wushuang’s body, enveloping him completely. It burned relentlessly, forging him anew.

The fire continued to burn.

And the number of Chains of Order began to dwindle.

Fang Yang observed this transformation, silently recording every detail in his simulation space.

He was constantly refining his character model of the "Ten Thousand Flames Saint Venerable"!

One could say that after this experience, his mental construct of the Ten Thousand Flames Saint Venerable was far more complete than that of the Vast Sea Venerable Emperor.

Even if the Ten Thousand Flames Saint Venerable were to return in the real world, Fang Yang was confident he could gain the upper hand as long as they were in the same cultivation realm!

"Spring slumber in my humble hut is done."

"Beyond the window, slowly moves the sun."

"A single flower, in dual forms now cast."

"Both good and evil, truths that are meant to last."

A poetic verse echoed from within the furnace.

The next moment, the furnace dissipated and the chains vanished. A figure in white reappeared on the scene, looking dashing and composed.

Emperor Wushuang.

Having emerged from the furnace, Emperor Wushuang gently stroked the Red-Brown Horse.

Then, he looked at Fang Yang with a smile. "In three days, I will face the tribulation to become a Saint. When that time comes, I will be able to take control of the Vermilion Bird ruins, and I will be sure to grant you a great fortuitous boon."

Fang Yang nodded. "I believe you. However, you might have need of this treasure skill."

As he spoke, Fang Yang lightly waved his sleeve, and a fiery red streak of light shot out.

It was a jade scroll, yet it flickered, at times taking on the divine form of a Fire Qilin.

Though only the size of a palm, it was incredibly lifelike and radiated a majestic aura.

"Is that the Fire Qilin Treasure Skill?!" Yu Zither Immortal looked up abruptly.

She too had gained some insight into this mysterious legacy back on the Dao platform that day.
