Chapter 2021: Chapter 2019: Two Fireballs, Rune Power of the Fire Taoist

Supreme Elder Huo Xun of the Fire God Sacred Land!

He was nothing short of a sanctimonious, despicable old scoundrel, always executing significant conspiracies of his own. However, he always took into account that there were too many people in the Fire God Sacred Land who worshiped the Ancient Fire God and would not desecrate him, thus showing more respect to Huo Xianer, the sole inheritor of the Ancient Fire God Bloodline!

If he wasn’t worried that hastily killing Huo Xianer would not only fail his purpose but also incur the dissatisfaction of many in the Fire God Sacred Land, he might have already secretly set an assassin upon Huo Xianer!

This time, the reason why Huo Xun so blatantly tore off the mask and didn’t fear Huo Xianer learning of his conspiracy was because Ye Tianchen appeared. Ye Tianchen’s appearance excited even the usually deep-calculating Huo Xun because Ye Tianchen possessed the Treasure Fire God Gourd passed down from the Ancient Fire God. In Huo Xun’s eyes, if he could obtain the Fire God Gourd, he would undoubtedly become a stronger presence, capable of executing his plans, controlling the entire Fire God Sacred Land, with everyone obeying his orders effortlessly!

The power of the Fire God Gourd was beyond doubt. It was a Treasure that accompanied the Ancient Fire God to the Peak Realm of Fire Power. Even though Ye Tianchen, after borrowing it from Tianshuang, had only used the Fire God Gourd a few times, he knew its tremendous power was extraordinary. Fully unleashing its power was challenging, likely because Ye Tianchen was neither a disciple of the Fire God Sacred Land nor an inheritor of the Ancient Fire God Bloodline, limiting the power he could harness.

Clearly, if a disciple of the Fire God Sacred Land acquired this Fire God Gourd, the power they could unleash would surely surpass Ye Tianchen’s. Moreover, Huo Xun, the Supreme Elder of the Fire God Sacred Land, having lived for more than two thousand years under the current Martial Arts World Magic Law, was certainly no ordinary person and undoubtedly possessed exceptional qualities!

Huo Litian was stunned, momentarily at a loss. Originally, he abandoned everything, obeying Master Huo Xun’s orders, even to the extent of being willing to kill his junior sister Huo Xianer. But, at this moment, Huo Litian discovered that the person he had always admired and obeyed, whom he regarded as a father figure, had already planted binding runes deep within his Divine Thought. Why? Was it distrust? Control? This left Huo Litian deeply heartbroken, torn between choices, not knowing what to do!

Buzz!

Buzz!

Two flames appeared in Huo Xun’s hands, both igniting with a surge of runes. The runes continuously burned around the flames, making Ye Tianchen frown, as the runes Huo Xun activated were also ablaze; these runes, according to Huo Xianer, were Fire Runes!

Initially, when Ye Tianchen didn’t know what these runes were, he was surprised and unsure how to respond. But, when Huo Xianer told him they were Fire Runes, Ye Tianchen instead calmed down because he thought of a countermeasure and felt confident in dealing with the vicious old man Huo Xun!

”Your injuries are only temporarily stabilized. Huo Xun, this old man, is far stronger than Senior Brother Huo Litian. Don’t try to be brave, just leave first!” Huo Xianer, seeing Ye Tianchen’s intent to confront Huo Xun head-on, urgently advised.

”Don’t worry. When have I ever lied to you? When have I ever done something thankless?” Ye Tianchen smiled and said to Huo Xianer.

”You...” Huo Xianer was somewhat worried, but seeing Ye Tianchen’s determined stance to confront Huo Xun, she knew she couldn’t dissuade him!

Boom!

Boom!

Suddenly, the two flames in Huo Xun’s hands exploded into two massive fireballs, making the entire space unbearably hot. The surrounding grass and trees, not to mention, even rocks, instantly turned to ash and melted away, showing how powerful the Fire Power Huo Xun unleashed was!

”No need for more words. Since it has come to this, both of you must die!” Huo Xun said coldly.

Seeing the two gigantic fireballs crashing towards them, Huo Xianer was stunned and immediately rushed forward, activating her Fire Power to contend with Huo Xun. However, just as Huo Xianer took a step forward, Ye Tianchen gently tapped her shoulder. Before Huo Xianer could react, she felt all her power sealed, with Ye Tianchen using Rune Power to temporarily seal Huo Xianer’s cultivation!

”Hey, what are you doing?” Huo Xianer anxiously asked Ye Tianchen.

”Nothing, I just want to meet this old man alone; consider it fulfilling one of my arrogant wishes!” Ye Tianchen said with a smile.

”You...” Huo Xianer was stunned, momentarily speechless.

”I promise, as long as I block this old man’s strike, I’ll leave with you. I’m not foolish enough to fight to the death for nothing right now!” Ye Tianchen interrupted Huo Xianer and said.

Rumble!

With a deafening crash, the two massive fireballs crushed everything, especially the runes on the fireballs, continuously flashing, breaking everything, obliterating all as they swept over. This alarmed Ye Tianchen to frown, proving indeed that the Runes of Fire Taoist were formidable and not to be underestimated for even a moment!

”It looks like I’ll have to try this trick to block the Fire Rune of this old man. My other Martial Arts Divine Skills can’t do it. However, I’ve never used this trick before...” Ye Tianchen thought to himself.

Buzz!

Buzz!

Ye Tianchen also focused his mind and calmed his breath. Flames ignited on both of his palms as he continuously activated these flames. Gradually, he formed a Rune, but the Rune he created looked far weaker than the Rune Huo Xun conjured. It seemed clearly inferior!

”Heh, I didn’t expect you could also conjure a Fire Rune. Your talent is indeed not low!” Huo Xun sneered.

”I’ve already said, not only the people from the Fire God Sacred Land can absolutely control the power of Taoist Fire, and certainly, your Fire God Sacred Land isn’t the absolute controller of Fire Power either!” Ye Tianchen said calmly.

”Facing death yet still so stubborn, young people like you are truly rare!” Huo Xun said disdainfully.

Boom!

The enormous fireball Huo Xun conjured with a Fire Rune collided towards Ye Tianchen. He glanced at the flame on his palms; the Rune was very weak. His control over this Taoist Fire power, especially the use of Fire Runes, was still far from mastery!

”There’s no time to worry about all this, I’ll just have to try everything I’ve got, whether it works or not!” Ye Tianchen murmured to himself, somewhat worried.

Bang!

Bang!

Facing two giant fireballs, Ye Tianchen activated his Taoist Fire power, condensing a tiny, weak Fire Rune and struck toward the two enormous fireballs!

In terms of the scene, it’s as if the massive and astonishing fireballs conjured by Huo Xun were confronted by Ye Tianchen’s flame palm strikes that were as insignificant as ants. If someone were betting here, they definitely wouldn’t bet on Ye Tianchen’s palm strikes as small as ants defeating Huo Xun’s Fire Rune!

Bang!

With a loud noise, when Ye Tianchen’s Rune palm strikes collided with the fireballs conjured by Huo Xun, the entire space trembled, with many scattered fire sparks in the air. It was incredibly astonishing, most unexpectedly and astonishingly, Ye Tianchen’s seemingly ant-like palm power surprisingly stopped these two huge fireballs upon collision!

”This... Master, why did he...” Huo Litian was too shocked to speak, finding it unbelievable that his Master’s powerful Fire Rune could be blocked by Ye Tianchen!

Huo Xun also looked at Ye Tianchen in surprise, seemingly truly not expecting Ye Tianchen to reach such a level of strength, defeating his disciple Huo Litian was one thing, but even his Fire Rune attack was blocked by Ye Tianchen, and it was with such unremarkably subtle palm strikes, which truly amazed Huo Xun!

”You... Could it be the power from Flame Valley?” Huo Xun suddenly seemed to have thought of something and couldn’t help but ask with a frown.

”Correct!” Ye Tianchen said with a calm smile.

”I see, no wonder Litian couldn’t defeat you. You’ve tempered yourself with the Abnormal Fire from Flame Valley, and your body has become extraordinarily strong. But... did you enter the second level of Flame Valley?” Huo Xun asked more surprised.

”Yes, I’ve been tempering my body there for half a year!” Ye Tianchen nodded.

Upon hearing Ye Tianchen’s words, Huo Litian froze, as if he suddenly understood why he couldn’t be Ye Tianchen’s enemy, even though Ye Tianchen was heavily injured, he couldn’t defeat him!

Perhaps others don’t understand the terror of Flame Valley, only knowing that Flame Valley is a place not to be approached, with anyone nearing facing death; being able to enter Flame Valley and come out alive equates to absolute strength. That’s just the surface; for the Fire God Sacred Land, the power of Fire Tao has always been inherited, and entering Flame Valley for training is what every disciple of the Fire God Sacred Land must do; if they can’t accomplish this, they aren’t worthy of cultivating Fire Power...(To be continued.
