Chapter 242 Ice and Fire!

Putting aside what happened at Qiongxing Manor, Zhao Xuan felt a sudden darkness before his eyes.

When he reappeared, he was in a scorching volcanic area.

"Hiss—" Zhao Xuan had just stepped out of the spatial ripples when he was knocked back half a step by the heat wave, and the surging crimson world outside the superpower barrier made his pupils shrink.

Dark red magma flowed slowly between the cracked basalt rocks, and sulfurous steam, carrying sparks, spewed from the fissures, condensing into a fiery, poisonous miasma in the sky. In the distance, the plume of smoke from the volcano's eruption shot straight into the sky, dyeing the entire sky a furnace-like orange-red.

Gardevoir's eyes glowed blue, and a psychic field formed a barrier around the three of them, shielding them from the intense heat. Zhao Xuan peered through the distorted heatwave and discovered that the seemingly jagged black rocks were actually the carapace of some kind of behemoth, slowly undulating with the surging lava.

When he stepped on a dark red crystal, the ground suddenly cracked open with a crimson fissure, and a swarm of golden-red lava worms flowed over it like liquid gemstones, leaving fluorescent traces on the rock wall.

"Watch your step." Lu Hai tapped the ground with his toes, and dark golden energy ripples spread out, startling several fire moths hiding in the lava.

　22 The phosphorus dust storm unleashed by these fire spirits crashed into the barrier, scorching the psychic barrier with spiderweb-like cracks. Gardevoir's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a wave of her hand, she condensed the countless sparks into a swirling galaxy, the violent fire element instantly transforming into falling crimson snowflakes.

A deafening roar, like that of an ancient behemoth, suddenly echoed from the depths of the volcano, causing the entire earth to tremble. A crimson crystal throne, hundreds of meters high, rose from the center of the lava lake.

"Screech!!" The firebird spread its wings, raised its head, and let out a long cry amidst the fiery clouds and falling sparks from its mane.

Behind the throne, a silhouette resembling that of the Flame Lord could be vaguely seen.

At the same time, a terrifying, sun-like aura pressed down on Zhao Xuan and Lu Hai.

"Hmph~" Zhao Xuan groaned involuntarily. At this moment, he felt as if he were being stared at by a prehistoric beast, and his body involuntarily took a few steps back.

Seeing this, Lu Hai said unhappily, "Old man, all you know is to test me. Then let me see how strong you've become all these years."

As soon as Lu Hai finished speaking, a terrifying chill emanated from his body.

"Snap!! Snap!!"

The crisp sound of ice crystals condensing was like the bones of an ancient whale breaking in the deep sea, and a ten-meter radius ice-blue magic circle suddenly exploded beneath Lu Hai's feet.

Zhao Xuan saw his master's clothes instantly covered in frost, and the ice crystals that formed on the tips of his hair reflected a seven-colored halo. The heat wave from the entire crater was actually forced back a hundred meters.

The flames on the throne of the blazing sun suddenly surged, and the lava lake surged with waves ten feet high. The flowing magma solidified in mid-air into crimson crystal sculptures, only to be reignited in the next instant, transforming into thousands of fire crows swirling into a storm vortex.

"Thirty years have passed, and your Frost Domain has become even more refined." Yan Yang's voice was accompanied by the roar of exploding lava. The entire volcano suddenly began to erupt, and golden-red magma columns shot straight into the sky, but were suppressed by an invisible cold current just before they broke through the dome.

Lu Hai raised his hand and made a grasping motion, and the countless ice crystals suddenly condensed into three spiral spears: "Back in the far north ice cave, you old geezer burned three of my eyebrows."

"Whoosh whoosh!!!" The moment the ice spear pierced the air, three dark blue trails were frozen in the air, and the flock of fire crows along the way instantly turned into ice sculptures and fell to the ground.

"Roar--!"

Nine fiery dragons suddenly rose from the lava lake, their crimson-gold scales flowing with liquid flames. The moment the ice spear collided with the fiery dragons, the entire space fell into an eerie silence, followed by an energy shockwave that pulverized all the basalt within a ten-mile radius.

Gardevoir's barrier shattered instantly, and Zhao Xuan felt his internal organs churning.

However, Zhao Xuan's injuries healed very quickly.

This is all due to the effects of the horse charm.

Just as the heatwave was about to engulf the three of them, Lu Hai formed a hand seal with his left hand, and an ice crystal dome rose from the ground, its surface covered with ancient runes that absorbed all the violent energy.

"Watch from a distance," Lu Hai instructed, his pupils turning into ice-blue vertical pupils. "This is the true application of the elemental domain."

Finally, Yan Yang rose from his throne, and with each step he took, molten lotus flowers bloomed beneath his feet. When the halberd formed from the essence of the sun's fire appeared in his hand, Zhao Xuan saw the fiery clouds above the dome suddenly begin to rotate, forming a fiery vortex with a diameter of a thousand meters.

Suddenly, a dark blue crack appeared in the space behind Lu Hai, and a biting wind howled out from the eternal night of the far north. Tens of thousands of ice shards intertwined in the air to form the skeleton of a giant dragon, with frost and snow as its scales and the cold tide as its breath. When the frost dragon was fully revealed, even the flowing magma began to solidify.

The moment the ice dragon and the flame halberd collided, time seemed to be split into two worlds.

On the left, snowflakes fluttered down, while on the right, golden-red flames surged, and the turbulent energy at the boundary tore the earth into bottomless ravines.

"It's not over yet!" Yan Yang's halberd suddenly shattered into a sky full of flowing fire, outlining the totem of the ancient fire god on the dome. Lu Hai laughed loudly upon seeing this, and the wings of his ice dragon suddenly spread out, with the phantom of the goddess of ice appearing in the blizzard.

The moment the illusory figure of the Ice Goddess opened its eyes, the entire volcanic complex fell into an eerie silence. Falling snowflakes hovered in mid-air, churning lava remained in its surging posture, and even the sparks scattering from the firebird's flapping wings solidified into crimson crystals.

"Click——"

Suddenly, countless ice patterns spread out from the ice crystal array beneath Lu Hai's feet, freezing space and time wherever they passed. Zhao Xuan saw his master's fingertips lightly trace across the void, and those ice patterns instantly reconstructed the laws of the entire world.

The surface of the once boiling lava lake now glows with a deep blue light, and the surging lava, retaining the shape of towering waves, has been transformed into an ice sculpture.

"Buzz!!" The entity on the Throne of the Blazing Sun suddenly erupted with a blinding light, like a solar flare of 527, causing the frozen spacetime to tremble. Golden-red spots of light lit up inside the frozen magma, as if millions of miniature suns were being nurtured beneath the ice.

"break!"

The blazing sun's roar shattered the hundred-mile-long ice barrier, and the fire element, compressed to its limit, erupted with a deafening roar. The ice crystal dome instantly vaporized into wisps of white mist, only to be refreezed as it rose, forming inverted icebergs.

Gardevoir suddenly grabbed Zhao Xuan and teleported him to a height of a thousand meters in the air, where the battlefield below had already been transformed into an elemental inferno.

The ethereal figure of the Ice Goddess behind Lu Hai suddenly raised her hand, and the icy mist condensed into tens of thousands of aurora prisms. When the coronal shockwave released by the blazing sun collided with the prism array, the entire sky suddenly refracted into a seven-colored aurora, and the beams of light, broken down into seven elements, began to annihilate each other.

"Use my flames to ignite the stars?" Yan Yang's laughter caused the earth's veins to tremble, and he pointed his halberd at the sky.

An ancient resonance resonated from the depths of the volcanic cluster, and twelve colossal magma dragons burst forth from the earth, weaving together to form a burning star map on the dome. As a crimson ominous star lit up in the star map, Zhao Xuan was horrified to discover that a meteorite swarm was breaking through the clouds outside the atmosphere.

Lu Hai clasped his hands together, and the frost dragon roared to the sky. The frigid air surging from the eternal night rift condensed into an ice crystal shield with a diameter of a hundred miles in the stratosphere, and falling meteorites collided with the surface of the ice shield, creating dazzling ice sparks.

Chapter 243 Red Tassel!

Before those burning celestial fragments could even land, they were frozen into ice meteors by the extreme cold, which exploded into a thousand-meter-high wave of ice and fire when they crashed into the lava lake.

The turbulence created by the collision of the two extreme energies tore apart the spatial structure, and Zhao Xuan saw countless glass-like fragments of spacetime scattering across the battlefield.

Some fragments reflected scenes of the Ice Age, while others revealed the fury of the Volcanic Age. Gardevoir's psychic barrier continued to rebuild, and for the first time, a look of solemnity appeared in the eyes of the young girl Pokémon.

"boom!"

Suddenly, Yan Yang shattered the throne and soared into the sky. His figure expanded continuously as he flew, eventually transforming into a towering fire giant.

What flickered in his eye sockets was no longer flame, but two miniature suns undergoing nuclear fusion. Upon seeing this, Lu Hai leaped onto the top of the ice dragon's head, and the phantom of the Ice Goddess completely overlapped with him. Her divine body, constructed of frost and snow, was in no way inferior to that of the fire giant.

The instant the Frost Fist clashed with the Fiery Palm Print, the entire world seemed to be paused. A spherical space with a ten-kilometer radius centered on the point of impact was first compressed to its extreme, then exploded with a deafening roar. Zhao Xuan's retina retained a terrifying image of the world turning upside down:

The surface rock layers surged like ocean waves, and the magma that was thrown up froze into red glaciers before it even fell; the fiery clouds in the sky froze into ice crystal mountains, and then exploded into diamond dust storms in the high temperature; more than a dozen volcanoes simultaneously erupted columns of ice and fire, blooming red and blue elemental aurora in the clouds.

"Hmph~" Gardevoir suddenly groaned, and the psychic barrier shattered. In the weightless state, Zhao Xuan saw his left arm vaporizing, the healing blue light of the Horse Talisman clashing violently with the destructive energy. Just as he was about to fall into the spatial rift, two ancient laughs suddenly rang out from the center of the battlefield.

"Stop it, or things will get out of hand."

"Anyone who doesn't retract their territory is a puppy!"

The two towering figures vanished simultaneously, and the raging elemental turbulence subsided like a receding tide.

When Zhao Xuan crashed heavily onto the crystal-covered ground, he discovered that the battlefield had transformed into a spectacular sight of intertwined ice and fire—lava flowed across the ice plains, frost flowers bloomed in the rain of fire, and the shattered laws of nature were slowly healing themselves.

"Is this what a championship-level battle is like? This is just a battle between domains, and it's already this terrifying. If both sides used Pokémon, I wonder how terrifying it would be~".

Zhao Xuan was secretly shocked; he had really learned something new today.

Although he had witnessed the clashes with the Heavenly Dao, the Heavenly Dao's level was too high for him to comprehend the terror it entailed.

Today, during the battle between Lu Hai and Yan Yang, he was able to experience the terror of both of them.

"Old man, it seems you've improved quite a bit. You've caught up with me so quickly." At the same time, Yan Yang's figure appeared directly in front of Lu Hai as if by teleportation.

Zhao Xuan looked Yan Yang up and down and felt that Yan Yang no longer had the imposing aura of a celestial being from the flames just now. He was just calm and ordinary.

Yan Yang also sized up Zhao Xuan, and seeing Zhao Xuan looking at him, he smiled slightly and said, "Old Lu, did I introduce you correctly?"

"Senior Yan," Zhao Xuan greeted him quickly upon seeing this.

"He's a good lad, you're really lucky, Lao Lu," Yan Yang said with a smile.

"That's right, my apprentice has not disappointed me. He's now a gym leader-level trainer," Lu Hai said with a hint of pride.

"Not bad, not bad. From now on, Yanhua will belong to you young people." Yan Yang said with a smile.

"By the way, let me introduce you to my apprentice."

At this point, Yan Yang called out, "Hongying, come out and say hello to your Uncle Lu."

"Boom!"

As soon as Yan Yang finished speaking, the lava lake in the northwest suddenly exploded with a crimson wave, and the black wings of the fire-breathing dragon tore through the boiling lava. The girl leaped into the air on the dragon's spine, and sparks flew behind her, condensing into a trail of flames like the tail feathers of a phoenix.

"That old man is showing off to me again!" Hongying flipped over and landed on the protruding scales on the dragon's neck. The dark red flame patterns on her combat suit flickered with her breath.

She flicked her finger, and a few drops of splashing lava were instantly enveloped in blue flames, condensing into sparkling flame crystals in mid-air.

The fire-breathing dragon folded its wings and swooped down, a hurricane carrying the scent of sulfur tearing apart the ice.

It suddenly hovered thirty meters above the ground, and the trailing flames melted the crystal cluster into liquid sapphire, which dripped onto the frozen magma surface.

When Zhao Xuan saw this dashing and capable woman, an incredulous look flashed in his eyes.

He was secretly shocked. Wasn't this the Red Tassel who had slain the God? Why was she here and had become Yan Yang's apprentice?

The mature woman before me possessed a head of dazzling, fiery red hair that seemed to carry a mysterious power as it swayed in the wind, making her unforgettable at first glance.

Her features were exquisite, and her ruby-like eyes shone with determination and courage, revealing her indomitable character. Clad in tight-fitting red armor, she showcased her tall and slender figure, adding to her heroic and dashing appearance.

Zhao Xuan was absolutely certain that he hadn't mistaken Hong Ying's appearance. Moreover, having recently witnessed the world of Godslayer, he was even less likely to be mistaken.

"Little brother, what are you thinking about?" Just as Zhao Xuan was lost in thought, a girl's fragrance wafted into his nose, and a clear female voice rang in his ear.

Zhao Xuan turned his head and saw that Hong Ying had appeared in front of him at some point, her ruby-like eyes staring at him curiously.

At the same time, Zhao Xuan also noticed that Hong Ying was carrying a long spear on her back, which further convinced Zhao Xuan that this was Hong Ying from the world of Godslayer.

However, Zhao Xuan didn't ask, since Yan Yang, this powerful figure, had his own plans for this matter.

Although she had many things on her mind, she still replied, "Sister Hongying, I wasn't thinking about anything."

"Hehe, Hongying, this is Zhao Xuan, your Grandpa Lu's apprentice. Why don't you show Xiao Xuan around, while your Grandpa Lu and I catch up?" Yan Yang said with a smile as he looked at Zhao Xuan and Hongying.

"Don't worry, Master, I promise I'll show Brother Zhao Xuan around properly," Hongying said with a grin.

After speaking with her master, Hongying casually pulled Zhao Xuan away.

Yan Yang and Lu Hai exchanged a glance and smiled when they saw this.

"Old Yan, have you told Hongying about her background?" Lu Hai asked Yan Yang as they walked.

Lu Hai was also aware of Hong Ying's good background.

"I already said that, and Hongying has already regained her memories. If she doesn't want to stay in our world, I won't stop her. Everyone has their own choices."

Yan Yang said in a carefree tone.

Although he was reluctant to part with his beloved apprentice, he wouldn't force him.

Chapter 244 Fire Moth!

As they talked, the two walked toward a pavilion.

Meanwhile, Zhao Xuan and Hong Ying...

As Zhao Xuan felt Hong Ying's soft, boneless hand and looked at her pretty profile, a strange light flickered in his eyes.

"Little brother Zhao Xuan, how about a fight?" After walking for some time, Hong Ying led Zhao Xuan to an open space, put her hands behind her back, and asked with a grin.

Her pretty face showed an eager expression.

He's obviously a battle maniac.

However, Zhao Xuan did not refuse and agreed, "Okay, I also want to stretch my muscles."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony. I've been so bored lately, my master keeps telling me to go into seclusion every day," Hongying said happily.

Although Hongying knew she wasn't from this world, she had lived here for over eight years.

I've long considered myself a member of Yanhua.

In addition, she possesses a mark belonging to this world, which makes Hongying feel a greater sense of belonging to this world, as the world before her has become blurred in her memory.

"Come out, my partner." Although Hongying was thinking about something, her hands didn't stop moving, and she threw out a Poké Ball.

With a "bang," a flash of red light appeared, and a large moth-like Pokémon appeared in the arena.

Its eyes are blue, and a pair of red antennae encircle its cheeks. Its body is plump, with a ring of white fur around its upper body, and it has four small legs.
