Chapter 1036 - 1136: The Summoning of the Xuanhuang Tower

At this moment, Ye Tianfan was drooping one arm, while his other hand held a spell, warily watching this Fire Butcher.

The spell in Ye Tianfan's hand was the Three Forms. Without a magical treasure as a medium, using the Three Forms would cause burns to his arm and would injure his meridians based on the power of the Three Forms Ye Tianfan used!

But Ye Tianfan had no other choice now. He thought using Vibrating Power would likely have no significant effect on the Fire Butcher because the Fire Butcher wasn't a physical being; it was composed of countless lava, meaning the Fire Butcher had no real body. If Ye Tianfan wanted to kill the Fire Butcher, he could only eliminate all the lava on its body to do so!

Though the Three Forms might not necessarily harm the Fire Butcher, as they both belong to the fire-type immortal technique!

However, the Three Forms used by Ye Tianfan had an extinguishing effect, meaning if the temperature of the lava on the Fire Butcher is lower than that of the Three Forms, and if the eruption temperature of the Three Forms is much higher than that of the lava on the Fire Butcher, there could be a chance to extinguish the lava on the Fire Butcher.

Ye Tianfan wasn't quite sure if the Three Forms would harm him, as he used fire-type immortal techniques, and the Fire Butcher also used fire-type immortal techniques. The damage Ye Tianfan could inflict on the Fire Butcher would have to be reduced by at least half!

On using Vibrating Power, Ye Tianfan thought he might shatter the Fire Butcher but wouldn't be able to kill him, and though lava is solid, it's fluid, meaning even if Ye Tianfan shattered this lava, it could still fuse into the Fire Butcher. So Ye Tianfan would gain nothing besides wasting spiritual power.

Unless Ye Tianfan could find the Fire Butcher's core, or Source of Life, hitting the Source of Life with Vibrating Power would directly kill the Fire Butcher, as once the Source of Life is shattered, it couldn't fuse again because the Fire of Life within the Source of Life extinguishes when the Source of Life breaks!

But Ye Tianfan couldn't sense a trace of the Source of Life from the Fire Butcher because every part of the Fire Butcher emitted the same feeling to Ye Tianfan, and even when exploring the Fire Butcher with his Divine Sense, Ye Tianfan couldn't find anything unusual about the Fire Butcher!

The Fire Butcher stood there like it was unharmed after slashing Ye Tianfan, resting the cleaver on its shoulder, staring forward without looking at Ye Tianfan, seemingly intending only to prevent Ye Tianfan from passing through the hole behind him, allowing Ye Tianfan to loiter before him!

But in the instant the Fire Butcher slashed him, Ye Tianfan faintly sensed the true power of the Fire Butcher. That momentary burst made Ye Tianfan break out in a cold sweat, yet it was just a brief burst. Ye Tianfan felt the eruption hadn't reached its peak before being retracted!

Ye Tianfan unleashed the Three Forms onto his right arm, then fiercely slashed toward the Fire Butcher.

As Ye Tianfan's arm fell, he felt a stinging pain in the right arm, unlike the heat of his left arm but rather the pain of injured meridians; not only the meridians were injured, but the muscle tissue on Ye Tianfan's right arm suffered varying degrees of damage, with some places scorched!

Ye Tianfan ignored the pain and steadfastly watched the fiery Sword Qi sliding toward the Fire Butcher!

Though the Sword Qi wasn't Ye Tianfan's full power, it was about eighty percent of his strength. He wished to see what damage his eighty percent strength could inflict upon the Fire Butcher.

The Fire Butcher, indifferent to the Sword Qi, lifted his cleaver only when it reached him, planting it in front of itself!

As the Sword Qi collided with the cleaver, Ye Tianfan focused more closely on the Fire Butcher.

"Whoosh!"

With a whoosh, Ye Tianfan saw the Sword Qi he unleashed being absorbed by the Fire Butcher's cleaver.

Ye Tianfan's eyes widened; what was going on? How could this happen? The Fire Butcher absorbed his attack—was there no justice?

Ye Tianfan felt despair; if the Fire Butcher absorbed his attack, he really had no other attack method, only Vibrating Power, as all his other attacks were fire-type immortal techniques. If the Three Forms could be absorbed by the Fire Butcher, so could other immortal techniques.

Perhaps the Fire Butcher could absorb fire-type immortal techniques, Ye Tianfan speculated, or maybe only the Fire Butcher's cleaver could absorb such attacks, not the Fire Butcher's body!

Meaning Ye Tianfan's ranged attacks wouldn't be very effective, as the Fire Butcher's speed allowed him to block them with his cleaver.

Ye Tianfan frowned; he knew the consequences of close-quarters attack from his drooping left arm.

And ranged attacks would be absorbed by the cleaver, completely countering Ye Tianfan!

Although Ye Tianfan's attack power had increased significantly in this scenario and spiritual power could swiftly recover, it was useless as he encountered the Fire Butcher, who nullified him.

Suddenly, Ye Tianfan wondered why he wanted to kill the Fire Butcher. Wasn't his original goal to pass through the hole behind him?

Upon realizing this, Ye Tianfan wanted to slap himself. Since the goal wasn't to kill the Fire Butcher, shattering it with Vibrating Power was entirely feasible, with no need to necessarily kill it!

But now Ye Tianfan's right arm was injured, and the meridians damaged, so he could only use Vibrating Power after healing!

Ye Tianfan sighed; if only he could summon the Xuan Huang Tower now, as it contained many healing elixirs.

While Ye Tianfan sighed, he suddenly felt a familiar calling from his Dantian!

Huh?

This familiar call seemed to be the sound of the Xuan Huang Tower.

Ye Tianfan confirmed it was the Xuan Huang Tower's voice because he could clearly discern the fluctuations were entirely those of the Xuan Huang Tower.

This revelation made Ye Tianfan feel immensely happy.
