Chapter 730: Seizing the Source Fire Seal

"It’s out!"

The crowd stared intently at the Source Fire Seal, their breathing growing ragged. This item was far too precious to them!

No one wanted to pass up on such a Heaven-Defying Opportunity!

"You two, fall back to a safe area."

Observing the tense, explosive atmosphere, Ye Wushuang turned and called out to Wu Qianqian and Gao Yang.

The two nodded hurriedly and fell back. They had already caused enough trouble for Ye Wushuang. ’If we stay here, we’ll only hold him back!’

BUZZ!

As the Source Fire Seal shot out, it radiated not only the World-Burning Power of its flames but also an endless Imperial Might. It was as if it embodied the very essence of the Dao of Emperors!

BOOM!

A young man from the Flame Clan seized the opportunity to strike. A giant hand of purple fire shot out, reaching for the Source Fire Seal.

"Xiao Cheng, your Xiao Family already took the last Source Fire Seal! That’s enough. This one should be ours."

A burly young man from the Mercenary Guild strode forward. His jet-black hair, woven into braids, whipped through the air like peerless spears the moment he moved!

Wisps of Dao Marks swirled around his body as an overwhelmingly dominant power radiated from him.

He roared, throwing a punch at Xiao Cheng from afar while simultaneously charging toward the Source Fire Seal!

"The Source Fire Seals were gifts bestowed upon the Xiao Family by our ancestor, Emperor Xuan Yang. It doesn’t matter how many appear—they all belong to us. How could we possibly let you have one?"

From the ranks of the Flame Clan’s Xiao Family, another young man with a flame-shaped seal between his brows also stepped forward.

Flames billowed from him, surprisingly similar to the fire within the Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace!

The Flame Clan’s Xiao Family was also known as a Celestial Family.

Legend had it they were descendants of Emperor Xuan Yang, possessing a celestial bloodline that allowed them to cultivate using the Heaven and Earth Source Fire—ranked third on the Exotic Fire List. They were, without a doubt, the number one family in the Profound Sun Domain!

This young man was none other than the Xiao Family’s top genius, Xiao Tianyan. He was a Demon Fiend who had obtained a Heaven and Earth Origin Fire Seed and was expected to one day form the true Heaven and Earth Source Fire—a terrifying prospect!

BUZZ!

With a raise of his hand, countless giant blades of fire slashed toward the young man from the Mercenary Guild.

Seeing Xiao Tianyan attack, the youth from the Mercenary Guild grew wary and immediately pulled back his hands to defend himself!

ROAR!

Res of the Holy Knight Clan seized the opportunity, spurring his Demon Scale Dragon Horse through the air. However, before he could get near the Source Fire Seal, an illusory figure materialized in the void, blocking his path!

Sword Intent flickered in the void. Phantoms of destructive swords danced in every direction, flashing from far to near, their paths impossible to predict. It was utterly uncanny!

"The Ghost Swordsman, Luoo Ye!"

Res’s eyes narrowed. SHING! He drew his greatsword and slashed through the air. A barrage of Heaven-Supporting Giant Swords chopped down, hacking densely at the sword phantoms in an attempt to destroy them.

"Res, I don’t have time to fight you!"

Luoo Ye stood in the void. The three slender longswords on his back hummed and flew out, engaging Res. With his opponent occupied, Luoo Ye made his own move, preparing to seize the Source Fire Seal.

But how could Res let him succeed? He strode forward and intercepted him.

At the same time, seeing that Res and the others were busy holding each other back, the young prodigies from the other Major Influences and various unaffiliated talents also seized the opportunity to charge toward the Source Fire Seal.

This was their chance, and they’d be damned if they let it slip by!

In an instant, the circular plaza erupted into a battlefield. Flames shot toward the heavens, threatening to incinerate the Firmament, while Sword Qi crisscrossed the air, sweeping across the vast sky!

The waves of destructive power sent a chill down the spine of anyone who felt them. The scent of blood began to spread—a sign that people were already dying.

Some onlookers in the distance who had been hoping to try their luck instantly abandoned the idea. They stood obediently and watched from afar. ’If we rush in, it’ll only be a matter of moments before our bodies are torn to shreds and burned to ash!’

Meanwhile, the battle in the circular plaza grew more intense. Desperate to seize the Source Fire Seal, everyone fought like they had gone mad.

As long as the older generation didn’t interfere, clashes among the younger generation were tacitly permitted, even if people died!

Countless figures flickered across the plaza, yet two things remained perfectly still: the Profound Sun Celestial Saint Furnace and Ye Wushuang!

He stood there quietly, staring at the Source Fire Seal.

Despite being battered by the shockwaves of the battle, the Source Fire Seal seemed to possess a magical force. It only trembled, never changing its course as it drifted toward Ye Wushuang’s position.

Thundering explosions ripped through the air. Xiao Tianyan battled the youth from the Mercenary Guild while Res clashed with Luoo Ye. Members of their respective clans had also joined the fray.

In addition, members of the Tri-Element Guild had also entered the fight.

Everyone was fighting over the Source Fire Seal, with none willing to let another claim it.

’Kid, this Source Fire Seal was formed from the Heaven and Earth Source Fire. Something’s strange about it!’ the Dragon Cat’s voice, tinged with confusion, echoed in Ye Wushuang’s mind.

Ye Wushuang agreed. On his way here, he had learned that only one Source Fire Seal was supposed to form every hundred years.

The previous one had appeared a mere three years ago. The next hundred-year mark was still far in the future, yet a second one had just been born. ’Is this an accident?’

’Moreover,’ he thought, ’just as the Dragon Cat said, this Source Fire Seal doesn’t contain just one Flame Path, but many. Compared to the previous seal, which was formed from a single Flame Path, the difference is like night and day!’

’Kid, don’t worry about that for now. Just grab the Source Fire Seal,’ the Dragon Cat said after a moment’s thought.

An idea formed in Ye Wushuang’s mind. He had previously obtained a Flame Origin from the starry sky. If he could acquire this Source Fire Seal, he could refine and fuse them. By adding the Seal Carving Technique, he could forge a new Source Fire Seal with supreme killing power.

’A refined Source Fire Seal with that kind of power should have no problem killing a Saint!’

’It would be the perfect trump card to have while the damage to my Origin has yet to heal. I wouldn’t have to be so passive.’

He watched the brawling crowd but remained still. ’If I make a move now, I’ll become everyone’s target.’

Meanwhile, the strangeness continued. The Source Fire Seal, as if aware that Ye Wushuang needed it, actually began flying straight toward him.

It weaved through one attempted capture after another until it was floating right in front of Ye Wushuang.

The treasure that others were fighting to the death for had simply arrived before him, well within his grasp!

In an instant, countless gazes fell upon Ye Wushuang. The great battle gradually subsided, every pair of eyes filled with astonishment.

They couldn’t seem to process the situation!

They were fighting to the death, yet someone who had been standing still the entire time was about to get the Source Fire Seal without lifting a finger. What was going on?

They stared daggers at Ye Wushuang, their warning gazes urging him not to touch the Source Fire Seal, hoping he would be intimidated.

Everyone was incredibly tense. The moment the Source Fire Seal was touched, it would choose its master. If, after fighting for so long, it was snatched by a mere spectator who had been watching the fun the whole time, they would all cough up blood in sheer fury!

Of course, their wishes were one thing, but reality was about to make them spit blood.

The scene that would drive them utterly mad still unfolded. Ye Wushuang did not do as they wished; instead, he reached a hand out toward the Source Fire Seal!
