Chapter 221: Fire Soul Resonance

Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Fire Soul Resonance

At this moment, Yi Xiaoyao seemed like a completely different person, but Elder Xing and Master Shang couldn’t quite put their finger on what had changed.

So, the two of them deliberately sized Yi Xiaoyao up.

Yi Xiaoyao’s Cultivation hadn’t changed, nor had his appearance. His gaze still held a trace of fury.

The next moment, Elder Xing and Master Shang finally noticed a clue.

What made them feel Yi Xiaoyao had changed was precisely the fury in his eyes and radiating from his entire being!

Before Elder Xing and Master Shang could ponder it further, Yi Xiaoyao spoke again in a deep voice, "Seniors, there’s no need to worry about the Cloud Transformation Sect retaliating against the Seven Kills Star Hall and King Shang’s Palace for helping me."

"Because, as I’ve said, the Cloud Transformation Sect will cease to exist today!"

Yi Xiaoyao walked forward slowly, his gaze fixed on the black-robed elder who had just defeated him with a single palm strike.

His gaze was icy and calm, yet it made the black-robed elder’s heart tremble violently.

Because in that gaze, he sensed a fury that instilled a deep, uncontrollable fear within him.

"Are you sure you can handle the one who’s left?" Elder Xing asked.

"If it’s just him, I am more than capable of killing him," Yi Xiaoyao said with utter calm.

After a moment’s hesitation, Elder Xing and Master Shang agreed, each one moving to engage one of the other black-robed elders.

Although the two black-robed elders’ expressions turned grim, they weren’t the least bit worried. Even if the two of them were tied down, the remaining one could still easily kill Yi Xiaoyao.

The remaining black-robed elder thought the same. Seeing Yi Xiaoyao squaring off against him, he let out a cold sneer.

"Junior, have you already forgotten my palm strike from moments ago? Where did you get the confidence to think you can kill me?"

Yi Xiaoyao gave a cold smile. "Of course I haven’t forgotten your palm strike. In fact, I should thank you for it!"

"Thank me? Looks like my palm strike knocked you stupid!"

The moment the words left the black-robed elder’s mouth, his expression changed drastically.

Because between heaven and earth, dark clouds suddenly blotted out the sky, furious gales howled through space, lightning and thunder cracked across the void, and the very ground began to shake and tremble.

This was heaven and earth in a rage. This was heaven and earth roaring. An inexplicable fear bloomed in the hearts of all who witnessed it!

But the phenomenon lasted for only an instant. The next moment, the dark clouds scattered, and the lightning, wind, and tremors vanished as if they had never been.

The entire process was so fast that before anyone could react, the world returned to normal, as if nothing had ever happened.

"What in the world was that just now?"

"Was that some kind of celestial phenomenon?"

"Why did I feel such a terrifying rage the moment that phenomenon appeared?"

Everyone discussed it, covered in a cold sweat.

These people didn’t know what had caused the celestial phenomenon, but Flame Medicine Hidden, imprisoned in the void above, understood the reason perfectly.

’This kid... he’s finally achieved a state of resonance with the Heaven and Earth Fire Essence!’

Flame Medicine Hidden watched Yi Xiaoyao, a gratified smile spreading across his face.

At this moment, Yi Xiaoyao himself seemed to have merged with the world around him. The fury emanating from him burned as if it were tangible.

Just moments ago, Yi Xiaoyao had been defeated by the black-robed elder’s palm strike, pushing his anger to its absolute peak. He was furious that he couldn’t save Elder Yan, furious at his own lack of strength.

It was this extreme rage in Yi Xiaoyao’s heart that had, astonishingly, allowed him to resonate with the Heaven and Earth Fire Essence.

The emotions of the Heaven and Earth Fire Essence had mirrored Yi Xiaoyao’s own, becoming furious as well!

He raged, and the Heaven and Earth Fire Essence raged with him!

And the Heaven and Earth Fire Essence contained the very Power of Heaven and Earth, which was why that celestial phenomenon had appeared just moments ago.

’Elder Yan said long ago that the Heaven and Earth Fire Essence has emotions, and that these emotions are directly tied to the power of its Flame. Now, I finally understand.’

The realization dawned on Yi Xiaoyao as he processed this thought.

He could now feel that, due to the Heaven and Earth Fire Essence’s rage, the power of the Flame he controlled had surged to an astonishing degree.

This was why Yi Xiaoyao now had the confidence to face the black-robed elder before him.

"Hmph! Don’t think you can intimidate me with some cheap tricks! I’ve lived far too long to be scared by a young punk like you!"

The black-robed elder snorted, his eyes narrowing. He had clearly realized that the earlier celestial phenomenon was related to Yi Xiaoyao.

The next moment, the man raised his palm again and sent a strike blasting toward Yi Xiaoyao.

"Die, junior!"

With a shout, an astonishing Palm Seal rumbled down from the heavens, threatening to pulverize Yi Xiaoyao.

Yi Xiaoyao had been defeated by this very same palm strike before, yet as he faced it again, there was not a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Old man, do you really think I’d fall for the same move twice? Now it’s your turn to be defeated!"

After a cold laugh, Yi Xiaoyao’s entire body instantly erupted in scorching flames.

These flames radiated an intent of pure fury. They were flames of rage, far, far stronger than any he had wielded using the Heaven and Earth Fire Essence before.

If the Flame he had used before was a fierce tiger, then the one he wielded now was a furious, primordial beast!

The immense Palm Seal blotted out the sky as it descended, its colossal shadow covering the land. In response, Yi Xiaoyao leaped into the air, transforming into a flaming cannonball that shot straight toward the descending seal.

From a distance, Yi Xiaoyao, wreathed in flames, looked like a tiny ant compared to the massive Palm Seal.

But at this moment, the ant collided head-on with the giant palm, and its downward momentum came to a sudden halt.

Yi Xiaoyao’s fist slammed into the center of the giant palm. The Flame on his fist spread like a wildfire, instantly engulfing the entire construct in a burning inferno.

BOOM!

Accompanied by a terrifying roar, the entire giant palm shattered and disintegrated in an instant.

Yi Xiaoyao’s figure shot out from the other side of the collapsing palm.

"How is this possible! How did this kid’s strength suddenly increase so much?"

The black-robed elder’s eyes were wide with disbelief. He had previously seen Yi Xiaoyao defeat Shangguan Jingyun, whose Cultivation had surged to the Eighth Realm of Nascent Soul, so he hadn’t dared to underestimate him. He had used over eighty percent of his power in that palm strike just to defeat Yi Xiaoyao.

But now, the same palm strike against the same person yielded a completely different result.

Just then, amidst the flames, Yi Xiaoyao grinned at the black-robed elder. "It’s rude not to return a favor. Old man, how about you take a palm strike from me!"

The moment he finished speaking, a giant palm of flame materialized in front of him. It swelled rapidly as it flew, roaring toward the black-robed elder.

"Heaven-Shattering Demon Flame Palm!"

RUMBLE~~~

The might of this furious flame palm was terrifying, many times stronger than the one the black-robed elder had just used!
