Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Clay, the Creator of All Things

Buddha's Wrathful Lotus?

After listening to Xiao Yan's words, for some reason, Huo Wu suddenly had a thought in her mind, feeling that this name was so...

So terrifying.

Just hearing the name makes one imagine its terrifying power, capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.

After Xiao Yan finished speaking, he waved his hand and moved, heading towards the active volcano behind Blazing Fire Academy.

His dark, fitted outfit fluttered in the wind, and his posture was elegant and composed, as if he were just taking a leisurely stroll in the mountains.

Huo Wu's already fiery eyes instantly ignited with a fierce fighting spirit and curiosity as she watched Xiao Yan's departing figure.

Huo Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately channeled her soul power to follow closely behind.

The two of them sped through the jagged rocks surrounding the volcano, one after the other, as the temperature around them rose higher and higher.

The air was thick with the smell of sulfur and heat, and the ground even faintly glowed with a scorching red light.

They ventured deeper and deeper until they reached a point less than a hundred feet from the crater, where the surrounding area was deserted.

Only a deep, thunderous rumble came from the depths of the earth, as if an ancient, ferocious beast was lurking beneath the earth.

"Let's do it here."

Xiao Yan stopped and stood with his hands behind his back on a huge black lava rock, calmly looking at the crater emitting faint black smoke.

Huo Wu stood a few steps behind him, holding her breath and staring intently at the figure in front of her, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

She could clearly sense that the aura emanating from Teacher Xiao Yan in front of her had completely changed.

No longer the lazy and carefree person he used to be, he has transformed into a flaming divine sword hidden in its sheath, capable of burning everything once drawn.

"Okay."

Xiao Yan spoke calmly, his hands suddenly flying in front of him.

No spirit rings lit up, and no spirit power surged violently.

Only the endless fire elements between heaven and earth, as if summoned by an emperor, frantically converged towards his palm!

Crimson, orange, and dark gold—several distinct flames swirled, compressed, and condensed at his fingertips.

It showed no sign of rage, but was as docile as a sly snake.

Huo Wu's pupils suddenly contracted.

She's no longer a complete novice who knows nothing.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Fire Dancer herself had practiced fire element control for a long time, so she naturally understood.

Just how complicated is Xiao Yan's seemingly simple operation?

Apart from Xiao Yan, she had never seen anyone who could control the fire element to such a precise and meticulous degree!

This is simply beyond the scope of a Soul Master's control over Martial Soul Flames; it's almost a law!

"The ruler of the Endless Fire Domain."

An emperor who commands ten thousand flames to burn the heavens.

The god of perfect timing.

Follow your covenant with the source of all things, the true Creator.

I hereby display your authority, in the name of Emperor Yan, I command all fire!

Xiao Yan chanted softly, then suddenly clasped his hands together.

"Buddha's Wrathful Lotus!"

Accompanied by Xiao Yan's voice, overflowing with both chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur) and shame.

A colorful fire lotus, no bigger than a thumb, with a beautiful color yet exuding an aura of endless destruction, slowly condensed in his palm.

He was serious about advertising, and besides, it was Xiao Yan who was ashamed, not him, Lu Yan.

Xiao Yan's expression didn't show much emotion, but Huo Wu's was completely different.

The fire lotus, though small and exquisite, sent chills down Huo Wu's spine as a fear from the depths of her soul gripped her instantly!

The power contained within that tiny fire lotus was simply unimaginable to her!

Just as the Buddha's wrathful lotus was fully formed.

boom!

An indescribable, terrifying fire-attribute energy suddenly trembled, and the fire elements between heaven and earth seemed to truly be as he chanted.

They all received orders.

This even includes the violent energy that has been accumulating within this active volcano for many years!

"not good!"

Xiao Yan's expression changed slightly.

He was only demonstrating its power, but he never expected that the fluctuations of the Buddha's Wrath Lotus's fire law would directly trigger the core power of the underground volcano!

Sure enough, since I haven't figured out the underlying principles behind what I've come up with, it's best not to mess around with it.

This thought of Xiao Yan drifted through his mind.

The next second, the entire volcano began to tremble violently!

Rumble!

A deafening roar, like the collapse of the heavens and the splitting of the earth, tore through the sky, and billowing black smoke instantly shot into the sky from the already reddish crater.

Crimson magma surged forth like an angry dragon, pouring wildly down the crater, cracking the earth, sending rocks flying, and a terrifying heatwave instantly engulfing an area of ​​several miles!

The volcano erupted!

"what--!"

Huo Wu was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she looked at Xiao Yan with trembling eyes.

She had never seen such terrifying power of heaven and earth; the surging magma was enough to turn a Soul Douluo into ashes in an instant!

Oops!

Xiao Yan sighed inwardly, and the next moment, he threw the fire lotus in his hand away.

With a deafening roar, comparable to the eruption of magma, it suddenly exploded.

Whether it's the heat waves or the debris erupting from the crater hundreds or even thousands of meters away.

Even the rolling lava was instantly swallowed up by the heat wave from the exploding fire lotus.

This area, spanning nearly a kilometer, was instantly cleared, becoming a domain of fire.

In that instant, Huo Wu even felt that the explosive power of this fire lotus was greater than that of a volcanic eruption.

This is truly terrifying!

However, Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he saw Huo Wu looking somewhat dazed.

His temperament is still too immature; this fire lotus is only barely enough to reach the threshold of a Title Douluo.

His clone was immune to the high temperature of the magma, but Huo Wu was only a Soul Master of level 40-something. If she were to be caught in it, she would surely die!

Are you still standing there in a daze?

Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Yan flashed and instantly appeared in front of Huo Wu.

Before the girl could react, he reached out and pulled her slender waist into his arms, then leaped into the air with her!

"Hold on tight!"

Warm, strong arms embraced her, and a broad chest was so close that Huo Wu froze on the spot, her mind going completely blank.

All the fear, shock, and panic transformed into a burning blush on her cheeks at that moment.

It wasn't shyness, perhaps there was some, but more than that, it was burning passion.

The power of that fire lotus, is this what Teacher Xiao Yan meant by fire control, a mage?

Holding Xiao Yan in her arms, Huo Wu could even clearly smell the faint, cool scent emanating from him, like a flame.

But at this moment, Huo Wu's mind was filled only with the desire for power!

Xiao Yan, carrying Huo Wu, moved swiftly through the flying rocks and gushing lava like a startled swan.

It unleashed almost its full power, transforming into a streak of dark light that sped toward a safe area outside the volcano.

With the cover of the exploding fire lotus, Xiao Yan's journey was remarkably smooth.

Behind them, lava churned and flames soared into the sky; the entire volcano roared madly.

After an unknown amount of time, the two finally landed in a safe valley far from the volcanic eruption zone.

Xiao Yan slowly released his arm and put Huo Wu down.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Huo Wu hurriedly asked Xiao Yan a question.

"Teacher Xiao Yan, what was that Buddha's Wrath Lotus just now?"

"Why do I feel like it was that fiery lotus that triggered the volcanic eruption?"

"Like commanding ten thousand fires?"

Upon hearing Huo Wu's words, Xiao Yan's face flashed with a hint of embarrassment, but he then spoke in a serious tone.

"That's because, in that instant, the Buddha's Wrath Lotus had already condensed into a strange fire."

"When the strange fire emerges, all other fires stir!"

"A strange fire?" Huo Wu murmured to herself, then looked intently at Xiao Yan.

"Teacher Xiao Yan, I also want to control a different kind of fire."

Why don't you say you also want to be Emperor Yan?

Fine!

Xiao Yan was actually quite curious about how far Huo Wu could grow.
