Chapter 150: Borrowing the Momentum of the Fire

Chapter 150: Chapter 150: Borrowing the Momentum of the Fire

With Yi Xiaoyao at its center, a bloody hue washed over the world.

Beneath this crimson light, countless strands of black Sword Qi surged, radiating a destructive, slaughterous intent. They swept forward to meet the terrifying attacks unleashed by the nine white-robed men.

BOOM!

The entire space trembled, and a terrifying shockwave rippled outward in all directions.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Following nine thunderous explosions, the nine white-robed men who had been charging forward were all blasted back in retreat.

They struggled to block the terrifying Sword Qi before them, their own previous attacks having been utterly annihilated by Yi Xiaoyao’s storm of slaughter.

Only after being forced back several hundred yards did the nine of them manage to regain their footing.

Profound shock filled the faces and eyes of the nine white-robed men.

One had to remember that they were all at the Golden Core Ninth Realm and even ranked on the Hidden Dragon List. Any one of them was strong enough to sweep through the entire Golden Core Realm.

But now, all nine of them had attacked at once, only to be sent flying back by a single sword strike from Yi Xiaoyao!

What kind of power was this?

Everyone knew Yi Xiaoyao’s Cultivation was at the Golden Core Second Realm. But was the power he had just unleashed something a Golden Core Second Realm cultivator should possess?

Outside the Asura Arena, the crowd that witnessed this scene was left utterly dumbfounded.

"Th-This is too terrifying!"

"Yi Xiaoyao actually has such terrifying strength that doesn’t match his Cultivation at all! He must be a monster!"

"It’s obvious now. Yi Xiaoyao’s previous rank of ninety-fifth on the Hidden Dragon List was far too low. Regardless of how this battle ends, his ranking is going to skyrocket."

In everyone’s eyes, what Yi Xiaoyao had accomplished was already extraordinary.

But at this moment, Yi Xiaoyao’s brow was tightly furrowed, his expression growing darker.

’No, this isn’t nearly enough!’

His full-power attack had only forced these nine back. This was not the outcome he wanted.

The time remaining for his Soul Burning Forbidden Technique was dwindling. He had to kill all of them within the span of a few breaths, not just repel them.

He remembered how, after activating the Soul Burning Forbidden Technique in the past, he had killed Lei Zhen with a single palm strike.

Now, his strength had grown, but the enemies he faced were also stronger—countless times stronger than Lei Zhen!

One could only imagine how difficult it would be to achieve the same result as when he killed Lei Zhen.

"Carefree Lad, nicely done!"

Elder Yan had also seen Yi Xiaoyao repel the nine men, and his hearty voice called out.

At this moment, Elder Yan was surrounded by a monstrous inferno. Dragons of fire, like living creatures, coiled around him, attacking and defending as he contended with three Nascent Soul Realm experts.

The surroundings were a sea of flames.

This couldn’t help but remind Yi Xiaoyao of the time they had encountered pursuers from the Cloud Transformation Sect in the forest. The scene was so similar to this one.

Except now, Elder Yan had only one arm. His other sleeve was empty, a limb sacrificed to save Yi Xiaoyao.

Even with one arm, he was still like a War God amidst the flames, his former aura undiminished!

Seeing this, a flicker of emotion passed through Yi Xiaoyao’s eyes. He seemed to remember something, and the corner of his mouth curved into a smile.

With little time left, every second counted. Yet, Yi Xiaoyao gently closed his eyes.

"It looks like... Yi Xiaoyao is trying to comprehend something?" The crowd noticed this and was astonished.

Meanwhile, the nine white-robed men, having lost all face after being repelled by Yi Xiaoyao, flew into a rage. They unleashed their strongest attacks and charged at him once more.

"Yi Xiaoyao! What’s the use of forcing us back? You will die today, without a doubt! No one can save you!"

"Don’t hold back! Blast him to pieces!"

As soon as the words fell, Ren Tu was the first to strike, with the other eight close behind.

"With just you lot?" Yi Xiaoyao’s eyes snapped open, a brilliant light seeming to ignite within them.

In the next instant, a wave of scorching intent suddenly arose. A demonic flame appeared in Yi Xiaoyao’s palm.

"Heaven-Shattering Demon Flame Palm!"

He thrust out his palm, and the giant flaming hand expanded in the air, instantly swelling into a sky-blotting flame several hundred yards wide!

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

The world turned fiery red. This palm strike was now comparable to a mid-grade Earth Tier Spiritual Skill, its power even greater than the fourth form of the Nine Swords of Slaughter he had used before.

But it wasn’t over. This level of power might not be enough to kill the nine white-robed men.

And Yi Xiaoyao would not have attacked so readily unless he was absolutely certain of success.

Then, a thunderous shout erupted from his lips.

"Elder Yan, lend me the Momentum of your fire!"

As Yi Xiaoyao’s voice fell, Flame Medicine Hidden looked surprised for a moment, but he immediately understood Yi Xiaoyao’s goal.

"Alright! Carefree Lad, my fire’s Momentum is yours to command!"

Hearing Flame Medicine Hidden’s response, Yi Xiaoyao grinned.

The next moment, he actually pulled an aura of flame over from Elder Yan’s direction. The fire dragons danced and merged into the giant flaming palm.

In an instant, the Heaven-Shattering Demon Flame Palm he had unleashed began to swell again, growing from several hundred yards to a thousand yards wide!

Seeing this, the crowd turned pale with fright.

"That Yi Xiaoyao... he can actually borrow someone else’s ’Momentum’!"

"How is that possible? Momentum is something you comprehend and master yourself. How can it be borrowed and lent?"

"It should be impossible, and it’s completely unheard of. But the proof is right before our eyes!"

Just as the crowd said, Yi Xiaoyao was borrowing the Momentum of Elder Yan’s flames!

He had just seen Elder Yan, despite his missing arm, fighting as ferociously as a Fire God, the Momentum of the flames around him endlessly regenerating. That’s when the idea of borrowing that Momentum came to him.

Of course, this would be impossible for anyone else. But Yi Xiaoyao shared the Seed of Heaven and Earth with Elder Yan. By relying on the connection between the Seed of Heaven and Earth and the Heaven and Earth Fire Essence, borrowing the fire’s Momentum was not out of the question.

Empowered by the fire’s Momentum, the Heaven-Shattering Demon Flame Palm’s might increased severalfold. The sky-blotting, thousand-yard-wide flame descended, smashing down on the nine white-robed men who were already scared witless.

Like a five-fingered mountain of fire falling from the sky, it descended. The nine white-robed men, their faces ashen, launched terrifying attacks, but they were all mercilessly incinerated by the inferno.

"What is this?!"

"Such powerful Flame Power!"

"AHH! Save me!"

Faces filled with terror, the nine men screamed for help from the three Nascent Soul Realm experts above.

But it was too late. The giant palm slammed down, the earth trembled, and the nine men were reduced to ash.

The three Nascent Soul Realm white-robed men fighting Flame Medicine Hidden all had their expressions change drastically, their gazes fixing on the giant flaming palm.

"It’s an Earth Tier Spiritual Skill!" One of the Nascent Soul Realm men exclaimed, a flash of greed in his eyes. "That kid actually mastered such a powerful technique!"

Another Nascent Soul Realm expert narrowed his eyes. "This is a huge discrepancy from the intelligence we received. Yi Xiaoyao’s strength is far greater than the rumors suggested! He’s cost us so many Golden Core Ninth Realm experts!"

"It’s too late to talk about that now. You two hold back Flame Medicine Hidden. I’ll go kill that Yi Xiaoyao!"

The last Nascent Soul Realm expert’s eyes flashed. His figure shot out as he snorted, "With me taking action, his death is guaranteed!"
