Fury Towards The Burning Heaven-Chapter 1584 - Qi Qingchen’s Plan

“Oh, no!”

Heavenly King You cried out in dismay. If the fire-repelling pearl broke, he would have to use his physical body to withstand the scalding heat. Although his physical body was very strong, it would definitely not be able to withstand such a high temperature.

As expected!

After the fire-repelling pearl exploded and the green protective shield faded, an extremely terrifyingly hot wave of heat surged forward as Heavenly King You’s blood began to boil; and his heavenly powers were inadvertently disrupted.

Even though he had a Primitive Spiritual Treasure battle armor, scalding pain still surged through his body. He looked at the Heaven Flame Beasts flying towards him as his eyes revealed a sliver of hesitation.

Jiang Yi was just ahead; if he used all his might, he could probably kill Jiang Yi. Even if Jiang Yi wasn’t killed, he would be blasted into the Prairie Flames at least. Heavenly King You did not believe that Jiang Yi’s fire-repelling pearl could withstand such horrifying flames.

However, if Heavenly King You attacked, he would definitely be severely scalded by the Heaven Flame Beasts that were flying towards him; he could possibly even be buried here. His brain worked furiously as he finally decided to take a risk.

Tsk! Tsk!

The black dragon swam forward from his black long spear as a black light shone for a hundred thousand feet. Heavenly King You locked onto Jiang Yi as he furiously pierced forward. However, at this moment, his body actually shuddered as he started to fly upwards crazily without hesitation.

To his left within that ball of burning flames, a dark-gold little beast was bringing twenty thousand Heaven Flame Beasts and rushing outwards. They had appeared from the Prairie Flames, and so their bodies carried with them small balls of flames; the surrounding temperature grew even higher by a huge margin. Heavenly King You believed that if this little beast and the additional Heaven Flame Beasts grew close to him, he would probably die here.

At the border between life and death, Heavenly King You decided to retreat temporarily. There were six other King-Ranked formidable martial artists outside; Jiang Yi could not escape from this place. Heavenly King You could discuss with the rest to find another way.

“Ah! Ah!”

Heavenly King You’s reaction was very fast. However, he hesitated for a second; and all his skin was now scalded. His heavenly powers were disrupted as well and his speed naturally slowed, exacerbating the injuries he was getting. All his skin had been scalded, and Heavenly King You himself could detect a charred smell.

Swish!

King-Ranked formidable martial artists had strong foundations; they were not like ordinary formidable martial artists. Heavenly King You bore the immeasurable pain as he shot upwards speedily; he soon disappeared from Jiang Yi’s divine senses range.

Bang!

Heavenly King You shot out from the lava pool, transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the high heavens. Countless divine senses instantly locked onto him. Detecting the scalding all over his skin, his face was no longer recognizable as a commotion instantly broke out.

“This…”

White River King and Heaven Desert King exchanged stares, at a loss at what was to be done. Yellow Lion King was actually silently thankful that he didn’t head down to kill Jiang Yi just now. If not, he would probably be the one losing face now; his battle strength was after all far weaker than Heavenly King You’s.

“Uh?”

From afar, Earth Emanations Sovereign and Phantom King similarly exchanged stares, not sure what had happened. They had thought of the possibility that Heavenly King You might have failed in his mission to kill Jiang Yi; they didn’t expect Jiang Yi to actually wound the Heavenly King You that much! From the look of fury and agony in Heavenly King You’s eyes, he evidently had not succeeded in killing Jiang Yi.

“Could this lad be as Earth Emanations Sovereign had said; that his future is bright and unlimited, that he could reach the Thearch rank?”

Phantom King murmured to himself. To be able to go up against a King-Ranked formidable martial artist at such a young age and even cause so much damage to one; in the past ten thousand years, only the Demon-Killing Supreme Thearch had managed to do that, right?

“You Feng, what happened?”

On the other side, You Feng had already shot into a Chaos Divine Boat as Heavenly King Wu immediately asked, “Have you killed Jiang Yi?”

“No…”

The flesh on Heavenly King You’s face had become a charred mess. His eyes were filled with rage as he gritted his teeth and said, “That lad’s fire-repelling treasure is very strong; the burning flames beneath should be one of the Top Ten Special Flames, the Prairie Flames. My fire-repelling treasure was not strong enough; I was just about to kill that bastard when the pearl exploded. I did not have a choice but to flee.”

Heavenly King You blamed everything on the fire-repelling pearl as his voice also became louder, and everyone in the neighboring Divine Boats could all hear him. He spoke louder also to retain a little of his face. After all, he had gone to kill a puny Jiang Yi; not only had Jiang Yi not been killed, but he himself had also been reduced to such a state. If word of this spread, the whole world would ridicule him.

“Prairie Flames?”

Everyone’s expression changed. Many places in the Earth Domain had the Prairie Flames. It was the tenth most powerful burning flames in the entire world, second in the Earth Domain. It was exceptionally overbearing. Among all the King-Ranked formidable martial artists here, probably only Heavenly King Wu had the strength and ability to go near the Prairie Flames; the others would either be severely wounded or even killed if they came in contact with it.

“What should we do, Old Wu?”

Many turned and looked at Heavenly King Wu. Their intention was clear: as the number-one person in the Demon-Buster Army and as the strongest person present, Heavenly King Wu couldn’t possibly shirk his responsibility now, right?

Heavenly King Wu was expressionless. However, he was sneering internally. Of course, he knew what these people were trying to insinuate.

Although he was indeed the number-one commander-in-chief in the Demon-Buster Army, Jiang Yi had not killed a single person from the Wu Clan. Heavenly King Wu also admired Jiang Yi a little; why would he go and kill Jiang Yi himself?

“What’s the rush? Let’s think of something else.”

Heavenly King Wu ignored everyone’s stares as he closed his eyes and started to think. He wasn’t in a hurry; whoever was could head down themselves to kill Jiang Yi. Heavenly King You had already sat cross-legged on the ground as he started to heal while White River King, Heaven Desert King, and company naturally didn’t step forward to go and kill Jiang Yi. They all found their spots to sit cross-legged as they frowned and appeared to start thinking of alternative solutions. As for what they were really thinking about, only they themselves knew.

While the few King-Ranked martial artists didn’t move, the hundreds of Divine Boats about were in an uproar; everyone was discussing the situation. However, as restrictions were activated around each Divine Boat, the chatter could not be heard outside. Many were thinking that the seven King-Ranked martial artists were actually without a plan, and no one could kill Jiang Yi.

As time passed, White River King and company occasionally opened their eyes and looked at Heavenly King Wu. They were secretly cursing at Heavenly King Wu, thinking that he was waiting for Heavenly King You’s injuries to recover and to ask Heavenly King You to try again.

After two hours, Heavenly King Wu still had not opened his eyes. This time, an air-splitting sound traveled from the east. Everyone’s divine senses swept over and realized that a Chaos Divine Boat had appeared. A few of them grew tense; could Phantom King and Earth Emanations Sovereign have arrived?

Buzz!

The Divine Boat’s door opened as Yi Zu entered. He reported, “My lords, the Wintry Sovereign and General Qi have arrived!”

“Why have they come?”

Heavenly King Wu’s eyes opened wide as his brows were raised. The situation was already very chaotic; why have the two come? However, as the Wintry Sovereign was one of the top-notch formidable martial artists in the entire Earth Domain and was about to head to the Heaven Domain, everyone had no choice but to go and receive him.

Swish!

That Divine Boat stopped far away as Wintry Sovereign and Qi Qingchen flew forward towards the Divine Boats here.

The two flew straight into the Heavenly Kings’ Divine Boat as Wintry Sovereign cupped his hands at everyone and said, “Everyone, why didn’t you guys inform me of such a huge matter? At least I can come and take a look; don’t you guys know that I love excitement? Eh… You Feng, what has happened to you?”

Heavenly King Wu and the others laughed hollowly as a patch of Heavenly King You’s face that had recovered blackened again as he snorted and ignored the Wintry Sovereign’s question. Qi Qingchen entered expressionlessly. Seeing that no one was replying to her father, she cupped her hands and said, “Commander-in-chief Wu, has Jiang Yi been caught?”

“Not yet.”

Heavenly King Wu sighed softly as he said, “There are Prairie Flames beneath. Jiang Yi is now hiding near them; we are now trying to think of a way.”

“Oh, no!”

Qi Qingchen revealed a sliver of astonishment as she said somewhat terrified, “Prairie Flames? That is the number-two special flame in the Earth Domain. Based on what I know, Jiang Yi’s realization of the fire-elemental laws has reached a very advanced stage. Since he is not afraid of the Prairie Flames, this matter is rather sticky. If we head down, he might actually use the Prairie Flames to kill us. In my opinion, why won’t everyone head back first? I will bring my men and stand guard here and trap him instead for perpetuity. This wasteland does not have heaven and earth spirit energy in it; how long could he last?”
