Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 411: Lin Xuan Is Bragging Again!

The Celestial King swung the Heaven-piercing Halberd, slicing down with a move that seemed to split the entire world in half.

Beneath him, the Alchemy Master’s Mansion trembled violently, as if about to be blasted into dust. Inside the mansion, numerous Grandmasters joined forces to resist. With a deafening bang, the defensive array shuddered, and the blood of the Grandmasters roiled within them. The weaker ones immediately spat out mouthfuls of blood.

Is this the power of the Celestial King? It’s far too strong. We can barely withstand a single strike.

The Alchemy Master’s expression turned grave. It seemed that relying solely on these Grandmasters would not suffice. Other Kings would have to intervene to stop this Celestial King.

But Kings were few and far between in the Great Xia Country. Furthermore, they had previously offended the Dean of the Heavenly Dao Academy, who would probably not intervene now. Their only option was to seek help from the Imperial Clan.

Thinking of this, the Alchemy Master sighed, took out a Sound Transmission Talisman, and sent a message to the Imperial Clan.

「In the Imperial Palace.」

The Emperor sat high upon his throne. He summoned the Grand Elder and said, "The Alchemy Master is requesting our Imperial Clan’s intervention. We must help him. After all, our Imperial Clan still needs the Alchemy Master’s help with alchemy."

"However, Old Thirteen must also be appeased. He is a member of the Imperial Clan, possesses heaven-shattering combat power, and has the potential to break through and become a Martial Emperor in the future."

"Grand Elder, you will handle this. Make sure you handle it well."

"As you command."

After receiving his orders, the Imperial Clan’s Grand Elder turned and departed. Soon, he descended upon the Alchemy Master’s Mansion.

"Celestial King, stop!" The Imperial Clan’s Grand Elder moved to block the Celestial King.

With the arrival of someone from the Imperial Clan, the people in the Alchemy Master’s Mansion breathed a sigh of relief. The Celestial King, however, was still radiating killing intent. "What, you want to stop me again? You stopped me last time when I moved against the Champion Marquis, and now you want to stop me again? Why?"

The Imperial Clan’s Grand Elder sighed. "Celestial King, you must consider the bigger picture. But rest assured, we will give you a satisfactory resolution to this matter."

"Fine. I want to see just what kind of resolution you’ll give me."

The Celestial King did not strike again, but it was clear he would not let the matter rest. As the two sides began their negotiations, the entire world watched.

「On the other side.」

Inside the Great Emperor Ring, Lin Xuan opened his eyes. His face was extremely pale, and the Dragon Scales covering his body were cracked all over. From a distance, he looked like he was wearing a suit of shattered battle armor, a shocking sight. A scorching aura emanated from the fissures, and flashes of azure light occasionally flickered within them.

Lin Xuan exhaled. He had finally succeeded. The entire fusion process was incredibly perilous. I never expected this Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire to be so terrifying.

However, his gains from the successful fusion were immense.

Next, Lin Xuan circulated the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire. Azure flames swirled within his body before quickly enveloping his entire form. An azure lotus quietly bloomed in the air. When Lin Xuan stepped out of it, the Dragon Scales on his body were fully restored. The azure lotus at his feet spun continuously, its scorching aura seeming powerful enough to destroy anything.

Success!

In the distance, the big black dog became extremely excited when he saw this. He had witnessed the entire fusion process firsthand and had been on edge the whole time. He thought Lin Xuan was going to fail, but unexpectedly, he had succeeded in the end.

Have I mastered two Anomalous Fires? Lin Xuan was overjoyed.

With a wave of his hand, an azure lotus appeared in his left palm, while a cluster of Starfire emerged in his right. Two different Anomalous Fires appearing simultaneously in one person’s hands—if anyone from the outside world found out, they would be scared to death. There was a legend in the Alchemy Realm that no two Anomalous Fires could coexist. Never before had an Alchemy Master been able to merge two of them.

But now, Lin Xuan had done it.

He did not go out right away. Although he had fused with the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire and achieved initial mastery, he needed to practice until he reached a proficient level. This wasn’t difficult for him. Soon, Lin Xuan had skillfully mastered the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire. He decided to test his alchemy skills. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

After merging with the second Anomalous Fire, his control over them had improved significantly. Not only had he become proficient with the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire, but his command over the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire was now even more deft. His alchemy was more effective than ever.

Previously, Lin Xuan could only refine ordinary fourth-grade elixirs, and with a low success rate of only one-fifth. But now, he could already refine mid-level fourth-grade elixirs. From the very beginning, his success rate was one-third. This was an extremely high rate, especially considering Lin Xuan was only seventeen years old. A seventeen-year-old fourth-grade Alchemy Master was an absolute rarity.

However, Lin Xuan wasn’t satisfied. I can try for high-level fourth-grade elixirs.

His current supply of medicinal materials was insufficient. Lin Xuan prepared to go out and procure a new batch before returning to improve his alchemy. With a flicker of his figure, Lin Xuan stepped outside.

Once outside, the Snake King immediately flew over and saluted respectfully. "Greetings, Master."

"What’s the situation outside?" Lin Xuan asked.

Although it was safe here, Lin Xuan knew that the Great Xia Country was probably in an uproar. After all, the Celestial King would not let things go, and the Alchemy Master, knowing he had been tricked, was likely furious. It’s likely that both Kings are searching the world for me. But Lin Xuan remained utterly unafraid.

The Snake King had been guarding Lin Xuan’s safety all this time without leaving. But as the king of snakes, he had easily taken control of some of the serpents in the nearby mountains, sending them to gather intelligence. Therefore, the Snake King had a clear grasp of external events, and he relayed all this information to Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan was slightly taken aback. The behavior of the two Kings was beyond his expectations. The Alchemy Master hadn’t hunted him down. Instead, he wanted to make a deal for the Clear Lotus Anomalous Fire. As for the Celestial King, he wasn’t looking for Lin Xuan at all, because he suspected the Anomalous Fire was in the Alchemy Master’s possession!

How interesting.

Nevertheless, Lin Xuan still planned to reveal the truth. He had a grudge against the Celestial King. He couldn’t defeat the Celestial King now, but he wanted to provoke him. If the Celestial King knew that I was the one who snatched the Clear Lotus Anomalous Fire, he would probably go mad with rage. Just thinking about it made Lin Xuan happy.

Soon, Lin Xuan released the news. He announced, "I indeed obtained the second type of Anomalous Fire, the Clear Lotus Earth Core Fire, in Flame Mountain!"

When this news spread, everyone was stunned.

What? The Anomalous Fire is in Lin Xuan’s hands! Is that for real? My gosh, wasn’t Lin Xuan the scapegoat? Didn’t the Alchemy Master take the Clear Lotus Anomalous Fire? Now I’m completely confused. Who has the Anomalous Fire?

The Martial Artists of the Great Xia Country were stupefied, not knowing who was telling the truth.

Seeing their doubt, Lin Xuan spoke again, "Of course, it’s in my hands. To be honest with you all, the Clear Lotus Anomalous Fire was sealed by me. The Eight Desolations Fire Dragon Array was also set up by me. I snatched the Clear Lotus Anomalous Fire right from under the Celestial King’s nose. How about that, Celestial King? Aren’t you furious?"

This statement left everyone dumbfounded. My gosh, is he trying to anger the Celestial King to death?

The people from the Heavenly Dao Academy were also astounded. The Wangyue Pavilion Master wore a face of utter astonishment. Even the Dean shook his head. Lin Xuan is just too arrogant. Even if he really did acquire the Clear Lotus Anomalous Fire, couldn’t he be a bit more low-key? Now he’s directly stepping out to slap the Celestial King in the face. Is that appropriate? He’s way too audacious. Isn’t he afraid the Celestial King will get desperate and try to kill him?

The Celestial King, who was negotiating with the Imperial Clan Grand Elder, flew into a rage when he heard the news.

That damn Lin Xuan is too brazen! How dare he provoke me!

"Damn it!" He smashed a nearby palace with a single punch, wishing he could rush out that very instant and tear Lin Xuan to pieces.

The Imperial Clan Grand Elder at his side was startled. Champion Marquis jumping out now is just adding fuel to the fire! He quickly grabbed the Celestial King and said, "Calm down. You know that the Champion Marquis loves to brag. He must be boasting this time."

"Though his talent is unparalleled, he knows nothing about arrays. You yourself said that even a King couldn’t break that Fire Dragon Array. Such a high-level array could not possibly have been set up by Lin Xuan. He couldn’t have easily traversed that array, nor could he have easily acquired the Anomalous Fire. He’s deliberately provoking you."

"I know." The Celestial King nodded. He didn’t believe Lin Xuan had obtained the Anomalous Fire either, but Lin Xuan’s arrogant attitude utterly infuriated him. He vowed that once he resolved the situation with the Anomalous Fire, he would absolutely not spare Lin Xuan!

「Inside the Alchemy Master’s Mansion.」

The crowd was abuzz with discussion.

"Do you guys think it’s really the Champion Marquis who got the Anomalous Fire?"

"How is that possible? Just listen to him brag," Master Guo said, shaking his head with a cold laugh. "I was the one who broke that array, so I naturally know how powerful it was. That array must have been naturally formed. Passing through that array is as hard as climbing to heaven."

"Let me put it this way: in the entire Great Xia Country, only I could have broken that array. The Champion Marquis couldn’t possibly pass through such an array!"

Hearing this, the other Grandmasters were left speechless.

So the Champion Marquis is just bragging again!
