Ten Thousand Dragons Technique-Chapter 305: Fire Contest

Finally, the Ancient Relic opened. The third Crown Prince took the lead, rushing in with the men from the Celestial King’s Mansion. The other family sects followed suit, entering one after another.

Before long, Lin Xuan arrived with his people, and they too entered the Ancient Relic. Upon entering, it felt as if they had arrived in an ancient world.

Ancient trees soared into the sky, part of a forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. Roars echoed intermittently from within, a clear sign of Demon Beasts. These beasts were far more terrifying than those outside.

Soon after entering, Lin Xuan and his group encountered a pack of Demon Beasts.

"Make your move," Lin Xuan said. With a wave of his hand, the geniuses from the Heavenly Dao Courtyard sprang into action.

Ye Qingwu, Mu Jin, Hua Yan, Du Fei, Xu Tian, and the others all attacked. They were all geniuses from the Heavenly Dao Courtyard, and each was talented enough to be listed on the Hidden Dragon Chart. Their individual power was great, but their coordination made them even more formidable.

They quickly slaughtered the Demon Beasts while Lin Xuan watched from the side, not making a move himself. The battle ended swiftly. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Ye Qingwu and the others cleaned up the battlefield, collecting materials from the Demon Beasts. These materials were very precious; they could be used to craft weapons and Battle Armor or sold in exchange for Spirit Stones and other cultivation resources.

After gathering the materials, the group continued its journey. It wasn’t long before they encountered more Demon Beasts, and another great battle erupted. They weren’t the only ones; people from other family sects were also engaged in fights all over the forest.

But not every family could overwhelm their opponents as the Heavenly Dao Courtyard did. Some top-tier family sects managed, but the weaker ones could not hold their ground. During the fierce battles, many of their disciples were injured, and some even perished.

Someone cried out in horror, "How can it be this terrifying? Have our companions fallen so soon after we entered?" Some began to regret their decision. "If I had known, I wouldn’t have come." Others turned and fled, wanting to escape the Ancient Relic. No matter how many treasures it held, they meant nothing to those who lacked the strength to compete for them.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Dao Courtyard advanced at great speed. They swept through group after group of Demon Beasts, eventually reaching the depths of the forest.

A furious roar shook the forest as another Demon Beast charged out. It was a giant elephant, its body flickering with black flames that looked like Demon Fire. The creature roared at the sky and took a single step, causing cracks to splinter across the ground and radiate in all directions. The shockwave made everyone’s blood and energy surge.

"Attack!" Ye Qingwu cried, and the others charged forward once more. They unleashed a storm of horrifying attacks, a torrent of Spiritual Martial Arts that crashed down on the giant elephant.

The giant elephant roared. The black flames on its body coalesced, forming a suit of Flame Battle Armor that blocked all of their attacks.

"How is this possible?" Hua Yan asked in shock. Mu Jin’s scalp went numb, and Xu Tian sucked in a sharp breath. Even Ye Qingwu’s expression changed drastically. This Demon Beast is far too terrifying!

The giant elephant roared again and swung its trunk, sending a great swath of fire sweeping toward them.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Mu Jin, Hua Yan, and the others were blown back by the force, coughing up mouthfuls of blood. Even Ye Qingwu’s expression was grim. She executed her Thunder Strike, slashing fiercely forward, but she was still thrown back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

It was important to remember that Ye Qingwu was incredibly powerful now, with strength equivalent to a half-step Grandmaster. Yet she was still defeated so easily. There is only one possibility... The giant elephant before us is a Grandmaster-level Demon Beast. Realizing this, Ye Qingwu’s face turned grim.

The others were on high alert, as if facing a great enemy. The giant elephant continued to swing its trunk, unleashing wave after wave of lethal flames.

"Retreat quickly!" Ye Qingwu shouted, backing away swiftly. Hua Yan and the others scrambled to dodge, narrowly avoiding the attacks.

Seeing the situation, Lin Xuan prepared to take action. "Let me handle this!" A Grandmaster-level Demon Beast was too much for Ye Qingwu and the others to handle. Only he could resolve this.

"We’re counting on you, Junior Brother Lin," Ye Qingwu and the others said.

Lin Xuan nodded and walked forward until he stood before the giant elephant.

The giant elephant glared at him with its huge eyes, its gaze filled with disdain. Even the powerful Ye Qingwu and the others were no match for it. This young man was all alone and merely a six-star Martial General, no different from an ant. It could kill him with a single breath.

The giant elephant spat a stream of fire at Lin Xuan. The black flame carried a terrifying aura, enough to instantly kill even a nine-star Martial General and turn them to ash. Surely this ant can’t withstand it.

In an instant, Lin Xuan was enveloped by the black flames. Seeing this, the giant elephant sneered scornfully. It turned its attention to Ye Qingwu and the others, intending to kill them all. This forest was its territory, and it would not allow human Martial Artists to run rampant here.

But just then, the flames flickered, and a figure emerged from within.

The giant elephant froze, looking down. The next moment, it was completely bewildered. Isn’t that the ant? How can it still be alive? It actually blocked my flames? What kind of joke is this?

While the elephant was still reeling, Lin Xuan spoke. "Playing with fire in front of me... you’re truly foolish."

With that, he waved his hand, and the Nine Heavens Mystic Fire flew out, enveloping the giant elephant.

The giant elephant roared continuously as the black flames on its body churned. The two flames collided. In an instant, the black fire was extinguished. The giant elephant bellowed in pain, its massive body scorched black as the scent of roasted meat began to waft through the air.

The giant elephant was utterly terrified. What kind of flame is this? It’s so terrifying!

From the rear, Hua Yan and the others were equally astonished. He’s too powerful!

"This is Anomalous Fire!" Ye Qingwu exclaimed. Junior Brother Lin’s Anomalous Fire has grown even more powerful!

She was ecstatic. This is great! It looks like Lin Xuan will be able to defeat this Demon Beast. The others were also shocked. Lin Xuan’s power was truly on another level, far surpassing their own.

In the distance, hidden within the forest, was another group of people: the members of the Star Pavilion. Chu Yue, Shangguan Hao, and Leng Rushuang were among them. They had heard the sounds of fighting nearby and had come to investigate, arriving just in time to see Ye Qingwu’s group in battle.

When they saw Ye Qingwu and the others getting injured, the people from the Star Pavilion had sneered, content to watch the show. But when Lin Xuan made his move, their smiles vanished. They knew Lin Xuan was very strong, with power comparable to a one-star Grandmaster.

Chu Yue’s expression turned stern. Half a year ago, Lin Xuan’s strength was at the initial stage of a one-star Grandmaster. I wonder how much stronger he’s gotten in these six months? Perhaps this battle will reveal his true strength.

Over the past half-year, she had cultivated madly, reaching the half-step Grandmaster realm. Her power was now very close to that of a true Grandmaster; a desperate, all-out strike from her could even unleash power comparable to an initial-stage one-star Grandmaster. The gap between myself and Lin Xuan must have shrunk significantly, she thought. Even if I can’t defeat him, I should be able to contend with him now.

However, when she saw Lin Xuan casually wave his hand, unleashing his Anomalous Fire and easily wounding the giant elephant, Chu Yue’s face instantly turned ugly. Damn it! That Lin Xuan has gotten stronger again! The gap between us has widened once more! How could his strength increase so much in just half a year? This guy must be incredibly formidable, even among initial-stage one-star Grandmasters! Chu Yue was consumed with envy.

Shangguan Hao and Leng Rushuang were also filled with shock. Such strength was something they could only look up to in awe.
