Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 255 - 253: A Terrifyingly Safe Haven

The Chen Family’s dozen or so elite experts were swallowed by the storm, torn limb from limb!

Even those as powerful as the Myriad Phenomena Realm appeared utterly insignificant before such heavenly might.

Obviously, the number of Myriad Phenomena experts dying here each year is far more than just a few dozen.

Suddenly.

A faint, formless ripple swept through the storm.

It was as if a gentle breeze slid silently into the raging tempest, gliding by unnoticed, like autumn wind sweeping fallen leaves. The Storage Rings dropped by the Chen Family’s experts were all caught up, then vanished without a trace!

On the periphery.

The middle-aged man stared at everything before him, dumbstruck, trembling uncontrollably beneath the terror that split the heavens itself.

"Are they insane?"

"No, so many experts dealing with Xu Yang alone... do they really need such a commotion?"

The middle-aged man couldn’t understand.

But soon, as he heard wave after wave of agonized screams and finally saw only Chen Wanxing and another Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection expert stumble out, faces pale, swallowing hard.

"No way..."

"Even so, Xu Yang still managed to escape? And killed more than a dozen of the Chen Family’s Myriad Phenomena elites?"

He felt like his head might explode.

Chen Wanxing paid the man no mind. Having reached a safer area, his face darkened as he glared at the ravaging storm, bitter hatred seething in his eyes, grinding his teeth nearly to dust.

The other man trembled, mumbling: "Patriarch, the others are all..."

All dead!

No way anyone could survive in that monstrous storm.

Those were nearly all of the Chen Family’s best experts.

After this defeat, he didn’t dare imagine: does the Chen Family have any way out?

"Go back."

Chen Wanxing suddenly turned to look at him.

The Chen Family expert was stunned, suddenly noticing that Chen Wanxing appeared much older all of a sudden, his hair gradually turning white.

Instantly grayed!

His nose stung and he choked out, heartbroken: "Patriarch."

How could he not imagine how deeply Chen Wanxing had been struck?

Sister, daughter, son—dead or crippled, and now, after finally finding Xu Yang... they’d been tricked again!

A band of Myriad Phenomena experts, played like fools, with just the two of them left!

How could anyone not collapse?

"Go back."

Chen Wanxing’s voice was hoarse, drained of all emotion: "Take the remaining clansmen, and find some safe place to hide!"

"Xu Yang, I will personally hunt him down!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

...

"Have you heard? Something big happened."

"That Xu Yang from the Northern Territory—inside the Purple Fire Celestial Prison, he killed more than a dozen of the Chen Family’s best!"

"What? How is that possible?"

"It’s true. Chen Family’s Clan Leader Chen Wanxing led a group, even issued a bounty; when they found Xu Yang, they got outplayed—space collapsed, a dozen died, only Chen Wanxing and their second elder escaped."

"And Xu Yang?"

"No clue. But Chen Wanxing upped the bounty again, so clearly he hasn’t caught him yet!"

"Hiss!"

News like this spread rapidly throughout the Purple Fire Celestial Prison!

The Chen Family’s bounty hadn’t gone away—it had skyrocketed!

Especially the collapse in that area, the commotion witnessed by many.

Word spread like wildfire; in less than a day, it spilled out of the Purple Fire Celestial Prison.

Wuhou Hall.

Huang Hua, hearing the news, was thunderstruck, his face twisting fiercely.

"Xu Yang—you actually went to the Purple Fire Celestial Prison!"

"You slipped away last time. This time I will slaughter you myself!"

He immediately left Wuhou Hall, headed straight for the Purple Fire Celestial Prison.

Meanwhile, Huangfu Qing received word that Huang Hua had set off; his expression was clouded and grim.

Huang Hua broke through, but he was still trapped in the Yang Realm.

"The Purple Fire Celestial Prison... Maybe this is my chance!"

"Even without an ultimate-grade elixir, I’ll break through on my own strength!"

He could have advanced long ago.

But he wanted the most perfect, supreme breakthrough.

The Bai Family.

"Father, first elder, Mr. Xu has been exposed!" Bai Jingxue rushed into the hall, speaking urgently.

Bai Song nodded slightly: "We’ve already gotten the news."

"Mr. Xu really does things with flair." He couldn’t help but sigh.

"Indeed. They say only Chen Wanxing and Second Elder survived. The Chen Family is finished." Mr. Bai was all smiles.

"Father, should we...?" Bai Jingxue suggested.

Mr. Bai pondered, then said: "Bai Song, go in secret—don’t reveal yourself!"

"Yes, Clan Leader!" Bai Song accepted respectfully.

Bai Jingxue showed a happy expression.

Though Xu Yang’s feats were grand, she was still deeply worried.

Now with Bai Song going secretly, at least there’d be support!

"First elder, I’ll go with you." Bai Jingxue hurriedly said.

"Uh, Miss... that..." Bai Song hesitated visibly.

Mr. Bai sighed, waved his hand: "Let her go!"

Bai Song immediately nodded.

"Thank you, father!" Bai Jingxue was overjoyed.

...

Xu Yang was entirely unaware that a storm he stirred up had set the world ablaze outside.

He was currently in the safe spot Mr. Tong had described.

This place turned out to be inside a volcano, close to the heart of the Purple Fire Celestial Prison.

The volcano was massive, lava rushing in torrents, the aura so intense it could easily threaten even those of the Myriad Phenomena Realm—enough to make one suffocate!

Most terrifying of all, amidst the raging molten rock rested a tremendous beast.

A Red Fire Flood Dragon!

Its cultivation: Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection!

The overwhelming ferocity radiating off it overflowed from the volcano, shrouding the surrounding ten-thousand-zhang area, declaring to all beasts and Martial Artists that this was its territory!

Bathed in this aura, Xu Yang trembled uncontrollably.

Yet, no fear showed in his eyes.

Though he’d been there a while, when he first arrived, he was scared out of his wits and nearly bolted!

After all, seeing such a terrifying flood dragon would make anyone’s scalp crawl!

But the Red Fire Flood Dragon sniffed around him, showed not the slightest malice, even yawned amiably at him, then lay back down on the magma.

Xu Yang quickly understood.

It must be thanks to Mr. Tong!

"Mr. Tong is really scary..."

Xu Yang glanced anxiously at the flood dragon, forcing a wry smile: "This place is insanely safe!"

The dragon’s aura was not a bit weaker than Chen Wanxing!

Especially here—even Chen Wanxing would have to tread carefully!

With it nearby, who’d dare to approach?

There’s probably nowhere safer than this.

Of course, enough to scare someone half to death!

"The one who gave you the Teleportation Talisman is quite interesting!"

"This flood dragon has already awakened intelligence—must be that person’s work. Its wisdom is weak, but with this cultivation and strength, it’ll advance quickly. If fortune favors, it could attain True Lord status!"

"True Lord?"

Hearing Gu Jun’s words, Xu Yang’s eyes bulged, staring at the flood dragon in disbelief.

"When you leave, you should form a good bond with it!"

"The Breathing Skill you obtained, along with the Bone Melting Transformation, both could be given to him!"

"And with the Transformation Skill—and if you have any spare Divine Weapons, give him everything. He’ll refine them himself; with his strength and this place, he’ll be even more formidable!"

"In the future, he might be a powerful ally!"

Hearing this, Xu Yang couldn’t help but swallow.

The flood dragon bore no ill will, and with awakened intelligence, if he gave it so many benefits, even if it never reaches True Lord, among Myriad Phenomena it would still be a true powerhouse.

"Divine Weapons—I do have quite a few. Most aren’t top-tier, but all together, they’re impressive!"

Xu Yang rummaged around, pulling out more than a dozen Divine Weapon Spiritual Artifacts at the Myriad Phenomena level!

He glanced at the flood dragon, licked his lips, but suppressed the urge for now.

No rush—first, tally up the spoils.

More than a dozen Storage Rings from the Myriad Phenomena experts—a windfall of unimaginable wealth!

Suddenly, he raised his brow, taking out a Communication Jade Talisman.

"Xiuniang?"

Xu Yang muttered in surprise, probing with his mind. Instantly his expression turned odd: "Elixir Demon? What the hell is this?"
