People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 305 Three Thousand Flames of Fire

Time flies like an arrow, and the two short days passed quietly amidst the eager anticipation of everyone.

As the first rays of dawn broke through the sky on the third day, the city of Saint Dan, which had been silent for two days, was instantly ignited. A boiling wave of excitement swept through the entire city, and huge crowds converged on the direction of the Pill Tower.

Today is the crucial moment for the top ten of the Pill Gathering to step into the Star Domain and subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames!

Many people are full of curiosity: can the strange fire that has been sealed by the Pill Tower for many years be subdued this time?
With this expectation, before the sun had fully risen, the area outside the Dan Tower was already packed with people, and the streets were densely packed with people who came to watch the ceremony, with noise rising and falling.

As the sun reached its zenith, three figures emerged from the top of the Pill Tower and hovered steadily in the sky.

"Those of you about to step into the star field, prepare yourselves!"

Xuan Kongzi stood on the cloud, his gaze sweeping down with piercing intensity, his deep voice piercing through the clouds and echoing between heaven and earth.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of air being cut rang out one after another, and figures flew in from all directions like arrows released from a bow, finally coming to a neat stop in mid-air.

"Sister Cao Ying, remember what I said."

In a courtyard, Zi Yan, holding little Chen Xi, gave instructions to Cao Ying.

Zi Yan's help is indispensable in order to subdue the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

This strange flame was once controlled by an elder of the Ancient Dragon Clan, and it already bore the mark of the Ancient Dragon Clan.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that the Three Thousand Burning Flames were raised by the ancient dragon clan.

Cao Ying nodded slightly, taking one last look at the tightly closed door.

"Ziyan, if I succeed this time, it will probably take some time. I'll leave Xixi in your care."

"Cao Ying, please rest assured. Also, we don't lack such a strange fire. If there is any danger, please prioritize your own safety. We'll meet in the Star Domain." Zi Yan nodded in response.

Upon hearing this, Cao Ying said no more, smiled and pinched her daughter's cheek, then disappeared from the spot in a flash.

High in the sky.

Although Cao Ying set off relatively late, she arrived a few breaths earlier than Xiao Yan and the others.

Before long, all ten of the top ten contestants from the Dan Association arrived.

The three leaders' gazes swept over the ten people in turn, like those of hawks.

When their gazes fell on the face of the middle-aged man who resembled Yao Feng, their eyes narrowed slightly.

Among the ten people in front of them, Cao Ying, Dan Chen, Song Qing, and Xiao Yan are the younger generation. The three giants know them very well, and it would be a good result no matter who gets the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

Qinghua Old Monster and Kun Old Monster, these two old guys know each other well. They are tempted by the strange fire, but they will not, or to be precise, dare not do anything to damage the Pill Tower. If the strange fire is subdued by them, the three giants can accept it.

As for the remaining four people, Danta has been secretly investigating their identities for the past two days, but the mystery remains.

If someone's identity is unknown, extra caution is needed!
The three leaders withdrew their gazes, exchanged a tacit glance, and without saying a word, their fingers flew across the page, creating a series of mysterious hand seals.

In an instant, a vast surge of soul power erupted like a tidal wave, causing the entire void to tremble violently.

As everyone held their breath, ripples suddenly appeared on the previously empty sky, followed by the slow emergence of a spatial gate radiating a pale silver light, mysterious and majestic.

"The Grand Elder of the Dan Tower will accompany you into the star field this time. He will explain the details along the way."

Xuan Kongzi stared at the spatial gate, his eyes suddenly sharpening like knives, his aura surging, and he said in a deep voice, "Go in, all of you. The three of us will be maintaining the star field for a while and cannot be distracted. Go and return quickly, and do not delay for too long!"

As soon as Xuan Kongzi finished speaking, a snow-white figure, carrying a chilling aura, broke through the air.

The newcomer was dressed in a plain white robe, surrounded by a faint but powerful aura, and his sharp gaze swept over the ten people.

"I am Qiu Ling, the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower. I will be leading this expedition to the Starfield. Once we enter the Starfield, everyone must follow my lead. If anyone dares to disobey my orders, don't blame the Pill Tower for stripping them of their qualifications on the spot!"

Qiu Ling is the publicly acknowledged Grand Elder of the Dan Tower, not the Great Elder of the Lesser Dan Tower.

Of course, even though he is only the Grand Elder in name only, his strength is not bad. He is a genuine Dou Zun powerhouse!
Cao Ying and the others understood and nodded in agreement.

After the Pill Gathering two days ago, they already knew that the middle-aged man who refined the Grade 8 Six-Colored Pill Thunder was suspected to be a member of the Medicine Clan.

Moreover, the Soul Palace has remained hidden in the shadows and has not yet taken any action.

Of the remaining three seventh-grade advanced alchemists, one of them must be a member of the Soul Palace.

It's not even impossible that all of them are possible!

After the Elder of the Hill gave a few warnings, the spatial gate radiating a mysterious silver light had been firmly formed, its surface shimmering with silver light.

Qiu Ling glanced at it, waved his hand, and said succinctly.

"set off!"

The three leaders nodded slightly, and Qiu Ling was the first to enter the star field.

Seeing this, Cao Ying and the others did not hesitate and transformed into afterimages to follow closely behind.

Ripples spread through the space as eleven figures were swallowed up in succession, disappearing from the gaze of thousands of eyes in a matter of moments.

As the last person swept into the spatial gate, the figures of Xuan Kongzi and the other two slowly disappeared, vanishing into the void.

"Why haven't I seen the Pavilion Master of Zixiao Pavilion today?" Xuan Yi asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Don't worry, that kid is stronger than any of us now. If he wants to, he can see everything that happens in Saint Pill City. If there are any changes in the Star Domain, he will show himself."

Xuan Kongzi spoke with certainty. Of the three, only he, because of his status as Cao Ying's teacher, would occasionally address Chen Xiao in this way in private.

Tian Leizi responded solemnly, "The elite forces of the Pill Tower have all been deployed and are ready for battle. The Grand Elder has also been preparing for a long time. There will be no trouble in Holy Pill City."

Without a doubt, this refers to Elder Mo of the Little Pill Tower.

...

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

The silent, empty space suddenly rippled, accompanied by a humming sound that distorted space, and eleven figures slowly appeared as if pulled out by an invisible giant hand.

As soon as they appeared, everyone felt a scorching wave carrying a burning heat rushing towards them, as if they had stepped into an invisible furnace.

Cao Ying and Xiao Yan also noticed that the strange fire within their bodies was trembling uncontrollably. A cluster of flames shot out from Xiao Yan's palm, the flames leaping wildly as if ignited by a gale, causing his heart to pound violently as well.

Cao Ying glanced at him, knowing what Xiao Yan was doing, but didn't pay any attention.

When a strange fire gets close to another strange fire, it will instinctively react, which can be considered a 'special ability' of a person who possesses a strange fire.

This allows us to determine whether there are other strange flames in the surrounding area, and so on.

Cao Ying was already used to this, because there used to be a strange flame in the courtyard, and she could feel this kind of thrill every day.

Therefore, compared to the changes in the strange fire within her body, Cao Ying was far more interested in this star field. Even as Xuan Kongzi's chief disciple, this was her first time personally visiting this star field; she had only known about it from others before.

The so-called star field is actually a space forcibly torn apart by the combined efforts of the three giants of the Dan Tower.

This space is naturally inferior to the Pill Realm created by a Dou Sheng powerhouse. It appears desolate and lifeless, with a faint, scorching mist permeating the surrounding space, and a few weak rays of light seeping in, making the light in this star field somewhat dim.

Cao Yingyu casually reached out and touched the faint light, but found it to be icy cold. Her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.

"The power of the stars..."

Sensing this special energy, Cao Ying suddenly realized why Chen Xiao had specifically mentioned to her during the intermission the night before that he had used the Heavenly Star Soul Tempering Technique to advance his soul to the Heavenly Realm in the Nine Netherworld Python Clan.

Cao Ying's current state is quite similar to Chen Xiao's back then; she has also reached the peak of the Spirit Realm.

Moreover, she also cultivated the "Heavenly Wind Soul Scripture".

Chen Xiao was able to advance to the Heavenly Realm with the help of the Heavenly Star Soul Tempering Technique. The star power in this star field is so rich that Cao Ying might be able to replicate it!
Hearing Cao Ying's murmur, Qiu Ling, who was at the front of the group, smiled and explained gently, "This star field cannot prevent the penetration of stellar power. During the day, the stellar power is at its weakest. At night, the stellar power here is extremely concentrated. That is when the Three Thousand Burning Flames are at their strongest. So we can only choose to enter at this time and try to let you all try to subdue it before nightfall."

People are different. Among the top ten, Qiu Ling is mainly wary of Yao Feng and the other four, but has no objection to the other six.

Cao Ying, in particular, is not only a Dou Zun powerhouse but also has an extraordinary status. If we're really talking about it, she's far more prestigious than him, the nominal Grand Elder of the Pill Tower.

Upon hearing Qiu Ling's words, Xiao Yan and the others behind him also realized what was going on.

As is well known, the Three Thousand Burning Flames also has many other titles.

For example, the fire in the starry sky.

For example, the three thousand starry sky is ablaze!

You can actually glean something from these names.

This fire was born from the condensation of the power of the stars.

In theory, as long as there is enough star power, it is immortal!

In the Dou Qi Continent, the power of stars never completely disappears. Even during the day, the power of stars still exists, only relatively weaker.

"Stay close to me and don't get separated. This star field exists in spatial rifts, some of which connect directly to the void. If you accidentally wander in, it's uncertain whether you'll ever be able to return in this lifetime."

Without much small talk, Qiu Ling became serious, said something solemnly, and sped off into the depths of the star field.

The group immediately followed.

Although the star field is not as vast as the Pill Realm, it is still exceptionally expansive. Eleven flew for a quarter of an hour and still could not see the end.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding temperature rose steadily. Even the Nine-Star Dou Zong, Old Monster Kun, had to circulate his Dou Qi to resist the scorching heat.

Xiao Yan, on the other hand, while not the strongest here, is in good condition.

The reason for this is simply the strange fire within his body.

Cao Ying, who also possessed a different kind of fire, was in the best condition. She was even more at ease than Qiu Ling, who was leading the group, and showed no signs of pressure, which made everyone envious.

In this state, it continued to fly for half an hour before finally stopping.

"arrive."

Upon hearing the sound, everyone looked in that direction and saw a blazing light suddenly emerge from the depths of the distant star field. The light was as intense as the sun in the sky, making it difficult to look directly at it.

"Ahead lies the location of the Three Thousand Burning Flames. Once past this point, none of you shall act rashly. Anyone who does anything out of line will face the wrath of the Pill Tower!"

Qiu Ling turned around and looked at Yao Feng, issuing a warning.

Seeing Qiu Ling's state, Yao Feng's eyes flashed with impatience.

Heaven help him, he did come for the pill that was the prize for winning the Pill Gathering, but he failed to achieve his goal, so he changed his target and set his sights on the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

But he really had no interest in Danta and never took him seriously.

Today, Yao Feng was repeatedly "targeted" and warned by the three giants and Qiu Ling, which made him quite angry. It was like an ant constantly snarling at you. Once you could ignore it, but two or three times...

Even the most peaceful person will have some complaints, let alone Yao Feng, who is not the gentle type.

The more Danta guarded against it, the more he wanted to do the opposite!
His fist clenched under his sleeve, hesitated for a moment, and then relaxed.

Yao Feng decided to endure for a while, and then deal with the Three Thousand Burning Flames after he had subdued them!
Seeing Yao Feng turn his head away, Qiu Ling nodded slightly, then led the group to slow down and drift forward.

As they approached the blinding beam of light, the objects within it gradually became clearer in their view.

"hiss…"

When they saw what was inside the light, the group froze, their throats bobbing as they swallowed hard, gasping for breath, their eyes filled with shock!
Within the light was a colossal dragon whose length was unseen. Its eyes were closed, and its body was coiled and twisted. A strange, purplish-black flame swirled around its massive body, and as the flame rose, even the surrounding space seemed to distort.

In the vast void, a giant dragon coiled, with purplish-black flames constantly seeping out from its body, burning tirelessly.

This spectacular scene is so breathtaking that it's hard to hide the awe it evokes!

Even Cao Ying, who frequently interacted with the Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan on Dragon Island, was somewhat shocked at this moment.

She had already heard Zi Yan talk about the Three Thousand Burning Flames and had made some preparations for it, but she did not expect that the dragon form formed by the Three Thousand Burning Flames would be so huge.

It stretches as far as the eye can see, and a rough estimate puts it at least several thousand feet in size!
With that kind of figure, she's almost as big as Zi Yan!

Standing before this giant dragon, the eleven people were like ants, a drop in the ocean!
"This is the Three Thousand Burning Flames."

After a long moment of astonishment, everyone gradually came to their senses, and Song Qing murmured softly in a trembling voice.

No one had a good chance of him, thinking he had no hope of refining the Three Thousand Burning Flames.

But in private, he had fantasized that perhaps he was the chosen one. Cao Ying and the others all failed, but he succeeded in refining it, which made the people of Zhongzhou look at him with new eyes.

However, upon truly witnessing the Three Thousand Burning Flames and feeling the intense dragon's might, Song Qing discovered that his legs were trembling uncontrollably…

No one laughed at him; no one cared about his private thoughts or his current predicament.

Just as everyone was marveling, the three seventh-grade high-level alchemists, who had also come to their senses, exchanged glances and then quietly retreated.

At the same time, they took out three spatial jade slips from their respective storage rings and crushed them without hesitation with a little force!

At the same time, in a room in Saint Dan City.

Chen Xiao, whose aura was somewhat abnormal, suddenly opened his eyes and appeared high in the sky with a thought.

"Zi Yan, it's our turn to go on stage!"
