Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 168: Obtaining the Water Spirit Pearl Again!

Chapter 168: Chapter 168: Obtaining the Water Spirit Pearl Again!

Fire Dance arrived with an extremely cold expression. She had been nearby and heard Huo Lingzi’s screams, so she had rushed over. But upon arriving, she didn’t see Huo Lingzi’s body.

She shouted, "Huo Lingzi, where are you?"

After calling several times with no response, she demanded, "What’s going on? Where is Huo Lingzi? Tell me!"

Fire Dance glared at the surrounding martial artists.

The martial artists swallowed hard. How could they possibly tell her? Tell Fire Dance that Huo Lingzi was dead? That he had gone to hell? They didn’t dare to speak.

Some backed away a few paces, while others simply turned and left. After all, this Heaven Ascending Road was now closed and its treasure had been taken. There was no use staying here. It was better to check the other Heaven Ascending Roads.

"Don’t you dare leave!" Fire Dance shouted coldly. Waving her hand, the flames on her body transformed into Red Lotuses that swept out in all directions, blocking everyone’s path.

"Tell me, where did Huo Lingzi go?"

"Huo Lingzi is dead!" someone said.

"What?" Fire Dance paused for a moment, then roared, "Impossible! Who would dare to kill Huo Lingzi?"

"Huo Lingzi is really dead. Look at the piles of ashes on the ground... those are what’s left of him and his men."

Everyone began to speak at once.

Fire Dance felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Staring at the four piles of ashes on the ground, her face turned deathly pale.

"Impossible! You’re lying to me!" Fire Dance roared frantically. She couldn’t accept it. Huo Lingzi was a top-tier genius. Though younger than her, he had already mastered three-color flames and had boundless prospects for the future. How could someone like that die? Besides, Huo Lingzi had a life-saving talisman. Even if he couldn’t win a fight, he should have been able to escape.

"It’s true," the spectators said. "It was Lin Xuan’s doing. He was too strong. He took out a Flame Pearl and instantly killed Huo Lingzi and his three companions with a single strike."

"What? It was Lin Xuan!" Fire Dance exclaimed. She had naturally heard of Lin Xuan, who was said to possess an Anomalous Fire and was a powerful Fire Martial Artist. But when she heard that Lin Xuan had instantly killed Huo Lingzi’s group of four, Fire Dance was dumbfounded.

Impossible. Lin Xuan can’t be that strong.

He was merely a three-star Martial General. Rumor had it that he could fight across three cultivation levels, but that would only put him on par with a six-star Martial General. How could he possibly kill a six-star Martial General in an instant, let alone four of them at once?

"Nonsense! You’re lying to me! Do you have a death wish?" Fire Dance took a step forward, her body blazing with a towering rage that seemed to warp the very air around her. Her eyes burned with fire. "Tell me the truth, or I’ll kill you all!"

"We really are telling the truth," the spectators cried out, some on the verge of tears. "It really was Lin Xuan! He’s the one who instantly killed Huo Lingzi and the other three!"

"You still dare to lie to me!" Fire Dance roared, lashing out and sending the crowd staggering back, spitting blood.

Some screamed and begged for mercy, but others defiantly retorted, "If you’ve got the guts, go find Lin Xuan! Why are you taking your anger out on us?"

"Yeah, I think you’re just scared of Lin Xuan and don’t dare to go after him."

"The top genius of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect? What a joke. You’re just a coward."

"What did you say?" Fire Dance was completely enraged. "Me, not daring to go after Lin Xuan? What a joke! Tell me where that bastard went! I’ll go capture him myself!"

"He went to the second Celestial Ladder. If you have the guts, go find him," someone in the crowd said, pointing to a distant mountain path.

"Fine!" Fire Dance gritted her teeth. Her figure blurred as she shot forward.

The crowd breathed a collective sigh of relief. Finally, that woman was gone. Then, they immediately followed her. They were going to watch the battle. Lin Xuan was incredibly strong, and Fire Dance was a seven-star Martial General. The fight between them was bound to be spectacular, and they didn’t want to miss it.

Lin Xuan was unaware that Fire Dance had arrived, and even if he had known, he wouldn’t have cared. At this moment, he had already reached the second Heaven Ascending Road. This was the Heaven Ascending Road of Water.

As soon as Lin Xuan stepped onto it, he felt a vast ocean materialize beneath his feet. The higher he climbed, the deeper the water became, as if threatening to swallow him whole. The other martial artists on the path were all struggling to resist.

Lin Xuan directly took out the Fire Spirit Pearl, using it in conjunction with his Anomalous Fire. The two powerful Flame Powers swirled around him and formed a Fire Dragon. The surrounding seawater instantly evaporated.

Lin Xuan was unstoppable. He once again transformed into a streak of fiery red light and shot into the distance.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The evaporated seawater turned into a dense white fog that shrouded the mountain path. The people on it couldn’t see anything; they could only hear roaring sounds. What was happening?

"I felt someone rush past me!"

"So fast! Who was that?"

"Who could it have been?"

Amid the crowd’s exclamations, Lin Xuan had already reached the summit. At the top of the mountain stood a blue palace. This was the Palace of Water, one of the five elemental palaces. Lin Xuan walked inside.

Upon entering, Lin Xuan felt as if he had arrived at the bottom of the ocean. The palace was filled with many puppets. Shrimp soldiers and crab generals wielded their weapons and charged at Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan sneered coldly, unleashing the Fire Spirit Pearl and sweeping it across all directions. The Fire Spirit Pearl in his left hand, combined with his Anomalous Fire, unleashed overwhelming power. Meanwhile, his right Divine Dragon Arm executed the World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist, sweeping through everything around him. Lin Xuan fought with unrestrained, powerful attacks, causing the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to crumble before him.

Finally, he fought his way to the end of the palace. There, he saw a gigantic turtle. On the turtle’s back rested a blue, fist-sized pearl. It was covered with mysterious patterns and seemed to contain an entire ocean. This was the Water Spirit Pearl!

Upon seeing this pearl, Lin Xuan was ecstatic. He knew just how terrifying this pearl was. The Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand possessed unparalleled power, having killed four six-star Martial Generals with a single strike. If he could obtain the Water Spirit Pearl as well, his strength would multiply. He might even be able to instantly kill seven-star Martial Generals.

With this thought, Lin Xuan dashed forward without hesitation. When he arrived in front of the gigantic turtle, it roared furiously and pushed itself up. The turtle swiped its claws at Lin Xuan, looking very much like the legendary Turtle Minister.

"Kill!" Lin Xuan roared. Fire Spirit Pearl! Divine Dragon Arm! Anomalous Fire! World-Ending Flood Dragon Fist!

He erupted with all his powers at once, engaging the Turtle Minister in a fierce battle. This time, Lin Xuan couldn’t kill his opponent instantly, as this Turtle Minister was incredibly strong. But Lin Xuan didn’t care. The more he fought, the more ferocious he became, and he slowly began to suppress the Turtle Minister.

While Lin Xuan was locked in this fierce battle, Fire Dance had already reached the second Heaven Ascending Road. She charged forward, a Flame Lotus materializing on her body. She cultivated the Red Lotus Fire, which was another extremely terrifying, high-grade Spiritual Fire.

A gigantic Flame Lotus bloomed before her, sweeping everything away. Fire Dance strode up the mountain path, and the spectators from behind followed in her wake. As soon as they set foot on it, they felt as if they had fallen into an oceanic whirlpool. Some were instantly swallowed by the seawater, while others trembled violently.

No, this is too terrifying! We’re no match for it. This second Heaven Ascending Road was just as difficult to climb.

"Get out of my way!" Fire Dance’s cold voice rang out across the mountain path, causing the crowd to exclaim in shock.

"Who is that? So arrogant and domineering!"

"It’s Fire Dance!"

"The top prodigy of the Ten Thousand Flames Sect, Fire Dance! She came too!"

"She must have been the one who just evaporated the seawater and created all this fog."

"She’s as strong as they say."

"Damn it, she’s a powerful competitor! Stop her!" someone shouted angrily, charging at Fire Dance. However, they were all effortlessly knocked aside by her.

At this moment, Fire Dance was truly a domineering force. She charged toward the summit.

Meanwhile, inside the palace, Lin Xuan finally defeated the Turtle Minister. He reached out and grabbed the Water Spirit Pearl. Feeling the power of a vast ocean within it, a smile touched the corners of Lin Xuan’s mouth.

Without hesitation, he engraved his own mark onto it. It was the mark of a Cyan Dragon, which Lin Xuan had inscribed using his Dragon Power.

The moment this mark was formed, the palace doors slammed shut with a bang. Then, a blue light swept out in all directions, enveloping everyone.

When everyone came to their senses, they found they had returned to the foot of the mountain.

"What’s going on?" the surrounding people exclaimed. "Weren’t we just climbing the mountain path? Why are we back here?"

"I know! Someone must have entered the palace and obtained the treasure inside," someone said. "A similar thing happened before on the Heaven Ascending Road of Fire."

"What? Someone entered the palace early and got the treasure!"

"Who was it?"

The crowd exclaimed in astonishment.

"Could it have been Fire Dance?"

"Damn it, it must have been her."

"Her Red Lotus Fire is incredibly terrifying. Only she could have possibly reached the summit and entered the palace in such a short amount of time."
