Chapter 250

However, nothing was found.

"What's wrong?"

Another elder appeared beside him at the same time, puzzled by his actions.

Did you feel anything just now?

"A sound? No, there wasn't."

"Don't overthink it. That beast only calmed down recently. It shouldn't start rioting again so soon."

Chapter 44 Grab it in one go and refine it immediately!

"Then I must have been mistaken."

After carefully examining the seal, it was confirmed that there was nothing wrong with it, at least not in the short term. The first elder to appear here also suspected that he was being too sensitive.

"Alright, I think you've been too influenced by that beast. But it's true, that beast keeps bumping into the seal, so we can't let our guard down for even a moment. The pressure is indeed considerable."

The elder beside him smiled as he described his condition, then sighed again, saying that the Fallen Heart Flame was too volatile.

It attacks the seal from time to time, and the timing is completely unpredictable. Especially in recent years, the time it takes to attack the seal has become shorter and shorter, making it even more difficult for the elders guarding the seal to let their guard down.

In case of any unforeseen circumstances, the seal must be strengthened immediately, otherwise the entire inner courtyard will be destroyed.

The strength of this Fallen Heart Flame should not be underestimated. If it really comes to that, it will probably require the intervention of all the elders of the academy.

"Yes, but..."

This is indeed a troublesome matter, but they have no choice but to do it.

The Fallen Heart Flame is the very foundation of the Jia Nan Academy. Without this strange flame, Jia Nan Academy would not have its current status.

Why do so many forces try so hard to get into the Jia Nan Academy to study? Besides the renowned teachers, the speed of Fire Energy cultivation is also a key factor.

"You've been on guard duty for several months now, haven't you? Why don't you inform the Great Elder to replace you? You should go and rest, lest you drive yourself crazy."

Looking at the elders beside him, the elder who came later thought for a moment and offered his suggestion.

"That's... fine too."

Upon hearing this, he hesitated for a moment but then nodded.

He also believes that he is too sensitive and needs to rest.

After exchanging words for a while, the two elders disappeared from the spot, while Yun Li had already completely submerged into the depths of the magma sea.

This place is filled with scorching lava, and the fire element is extremely concentrated.

However, Yun Li felt quite comfortable. Sword Forger are used to high-temperature environments, so this level of heat was nothing to her.

Moreover, she also possesses the Power of Destiny and the protection of a strange fire.

Perhaps sensing the Sea Heart Flame within Yun Li's body, the Fallen Heart Flame, located deep within the magma sea, suddenly opened its ferocious eyes.

This Fallen Heart Flame has already developed a mature outer shell, and from its appearance, it looks like an incomparably huge fire dragon.

Not only do different flames have the ability to sense each other, but more importantly, flames with self-awareness will try to devour other flames to become stronger.

That's how the previous generation's Dou Di became Emperor Flame, and thus became the Supreme One.

So, upon sensing Yun Li's presence inside the magma sea and detecting the aura of the strange fire emanating from her, the Fallen Heart Flame, which had been resting on the rock, immediately stood up and rushed towards Yun Li's location without hesitation.

Before long, the Fallen Heart Flame appeared beside Yun Li.

"They're here."

As Yun Li was using the connection between the different flames to get closer to the Fallen Heart Flame, she suddenly sensed a strange movement, stopped moving, and turned her gaze to the side.

Then what you see is that enormous dragon-shaped demonic beast, the Fallen Heart Flame.

This Fallen Heart Flame has fully transformed into a demonic beast, and its aura is exceptionally powerful. With its unique characteristics, even top-tier Dou Zong experts would find it difficult to defeat.

Not to mention that it is now in this sea of lava and fire, and its strength has increased many times over.

"Roar!!!"

After the Fallen Heart Flame appeared, its terrifying and ferocious dragon eyes stared intently at the girl, or rather, at the Sea Heart Flame within Yun Li's body.

It could sense that as long as it could swallow this strange fire, its strength would definitely increase significantly, and it might even be able to completely break free from the seal.

With a roar, the Fallen Heart Flame unleashed a terrifying burst of energy directly at Yun Li.

This energy was not only unaffected in the magma sea, but actually appeared exceptionally powerful.

"Snort!"

Faced with the breath of the Fallen Heart Flame, Yun Li merely snorted, and an invisible force appeared around her, protecting her.

This was the power of the four-star Preservation Light Cone, which directly defended against the terrifying energy before them. Immediately afterward, Yun Li flashed past, her figure appearing in the blink of an eye atop the head of the Fallen Heart Flame. She raised her small fist and punched the Fallen Heart Flame on the head.

Even amidst magma, Yun Li's punch was comparable to, and not far surpassed, a meteorite explosion, directly shattering the dragon head of the Fallen Heart Flame.

It slammed its body heavily onto the giant rock below.

The Fallen Heart Flame let out a mournful howl, and before it could react, Yun Li shot down and stomped hard on its body.

As the rocks shattered, the remaining dragon form of the Fallen Heart Flame instantly turned into countless cracks, and its body exploded.

Fear flashed in the eyes of the violent human loli standing before the Fallen Heart Flame, who already possessed consciousness and intelligence comparable to that of a human.

It didn't understand why this human cub was so powerful.

His own sixth-tier, no, Seventh Tier magical beast-like appearance was completely defenseless against her fists. This was too strange, too terrifying for the strange fire.

Even though it withstood the full force of a Dou Zong expert's attack without much damage, it was as powerless as an infant under the punches and kicks of this little girl.

Fortunately, this place is rich in fire elements and is its lair, so it recovers very quickly here.

Even with such severe injuries, as long as its core is not damaged, it can recover quickly.

Just as it saw Yun Li about to unleash another punch, the Fallen Heart Flame quickly displayed its most powerful attack.

It directly ignited Yun Li's heart with an invisible Heart Flame.

This Heart Flame is extremely strange and difficult to defend against. Even a Dou Zong expert who is careless for a moment will be greatly affected, and those with weaker strength can be burned to death instantly.

Without appropriate countermeasures, it is extremely difficult to resist.

When the Fallen Heart Flame unleashed this attack, Yun Li felt a slight discomfort, but the next moment, under her powerful destiny force, the Heart Flame was instantly extinguished.

"You dare to resist? Very well, you're finished!"

Suppressing her inner Heart Flame, Yun Li's eyes turned serious. After blasting away the Fallen Heart Flame in front of her with a punch, she immediately took out her Old Iron.

Noticing Yun Li's belongings, Fallen Heart Flame, who had just stabilized her body and was rapidly absorbing the surrounding fire elements, felt a sense of impending death.

This was something it couldn't understand. Its current body was just its shell, and even if she were strong, destroying its shell would only weaken it for a while.

If I hide deeper and absorb the fire element for a while, I should be able to recover quickly.

However, it dared not be careless. The moment Yun Li raised the Old Iron in her hand, the Fallen Heart Flame began to flee downwards at top speed.

Although there was something below that it feared, it was still better than dying there.

However, how could Yun Li possibly let it escape from her grasp?

"Collapse—Sword—Slash!"

Yun Li raised the Old Iron, transforming it into a heavy sword thousands of meters long, and viciously smashed it towards the fleeing Fallen Heart Flame.

Although the Fallen Heart Flame was running very fast, it was still locked onto by Yun Li's move and its dragon body was shattered by a single sword strike.

However, Yun Li stopped at the last moment, only completely destroying its outer shell, leaving only the most primordial source fire of the strange fire.

This attack completely subdued the Fallen Heart Flame's essence, rendering it incapable of resisting or escaping.

After retracting her Old Iron, Yun Li calmly walked to the source of the Fallen Heart Flame. Looking at the semi-transparent strange flame before her, Yun Li reached out her hand to it.

Grab it and refine it instantly!

The Fallen Heart Flame, now reduced to its original essence, was utterly unable to resist Yun Li's control and was quickly subdued by her.

Sensing the presence of other strange flames, the originally docile Sea Heart Flame within Yun Li's body became chaotic and tense.

A strong repulsion arose directly, making it extremely difficult for the different flames to merge or coexist peacefully, just like two tigers cannot share one mountain.

This is why every Yaoshi can only subdue one different flame in their lifetime.

Even the most docile strange fire there couldn't accept this, unless one cultivated the Burning Severance Technique and then guided the fusion. But in Yun Li's hands, none of that mattered.

She unleashed her Emanator power, instantly and forcibly merging the two together.

The saying goes, "Great strength can throw a brick!"

Xiao Huohuo initially faced near-death experiences when fusing with different flames, mainly because his strength was too weak. But in the face of absolute power, the impossible becomes possible, and it's extremely safe.

Even if the power of a forcibly fused strange fire is terrifying, it is nothing more than a toy in Yun Li's hands.

"Good!"

"I've also obtained the second strange fire."

Having successfully forcibly controlled the two strange flames, Yun Li stretched out her hands, looked at the flames on her left and right, and then merged them together.

Compared to Xiao Huohuo's slow and leisurely fusion of the strange fires in the early and middle stages, in her hands, the two strange fires dared not resist at all and merged together instantly.

The combined fire's power has increased significantly.

Now, if we start refining those materials again, the speed will definitely be several times faster, and the effects of the materials will be better preserved.

Yun Li was very satisfied and put her hands together to collect the strange fire.

However, not long after Yun Li subdued the Fallen Core Flame, the students and elders who were cultivating in the Qi Refining Tower all changed their expressions and quickly opened their eyes.

The previously rapid acceleration of my Heart Flame cultivation has gradually disappeared.

"What's going on?!"

Some students hurriedly continued to try, but they still could not feel the previous cultivation speed, and the energy of the Heart Flame completely disappeared.

This caused some people to worry. Looking at the others, they found that everyone seemed to be in the same boat, unable to sense the presence of Fire Energy.

"Can't you sense the Fire Energy either?"

One person couldn't help but ask a question.

"No, there's only a very faint amount of Fire Energy, which can't increase cultivation speed at all."

"What on earth is going on? I've never encountered anything like this before. Could there be something wrong with the Qi Refining Tower?"

"Have no idea."

"Let's go check on the other training rooms. Could it be that only our training room is having problems?"

"We need to report to the elders first."

The group chatted for a while, then walked out of the cultivation room together. However, they found that everyone else had also come out of the cultivation room.

Judging from their faces, it seems that everyone is in a similar situation.

As the commotion grew louder, the elders had no choice but to appear immediately. They arranged for the students to leave the Qi Refining Tower and quickly went to inform Su Qian, the Great Elder of the Inner Court.

"Great Elder, what exactly is going on?"

"Is there something wrong with the Fallen Heart Flame? But the seal seems fine."

When Great Elder Su Qian appeared at the bottom of the Qi Refining Tower, all the elders guarding the seal appeared beside the seal, their hearts filled with confusion.

The students outside were unaware of the existence of the Fallen Heart Flame, nor did they understand that the reason the Qi Refining Tower could accelerate cultivation was entirely due to the Fallen Heart Flame.

But they all know very well.

"Strangeness..."

Su Qian frowned as she looked at the seal in front of her, completely baffled.

Nothing happened to the seal, so the Fallen Heart Flame naturally couldn't have escaped by bypassing the seal. So why did it suddenly disappear?

This made Su Qian want to go down and check the situation.

But he dared not take the risk, nor could he do it.
