Heavenly Flame Showdown

As everyone summoned flames, turning the sky into a flowing galaxy of fire, several particularly eye-catching flames also made their appearance.

On a stone platform near the edge, Dan Chen, the timid young girl from the Dan Family, gently flipped her fair, jade-like hand, and a ball of purple flame rose up. This flame did not appear particularly violent; instead, as the flames gathered, they resembled a crane, with subtle Soul Fluctuation rippling within them.

Those who had the actual product immediately recognized it as the Seventh Order Sacred Holy Feather Crane Holy Feather Crane Beast Flame produced by the Seventh Order Demonic Beast Sacred Feather Crane.

Elsewhere, Song Qing stood solemnly, holding a ball of deep Golden Flame in his palm. As the flame rose, the faint roar of a lion could be heard, and the space around the flame was slightly distorted.

Upon seeing this, some people recognized it as the Beast Flame produced by the Seventh Order Demonic Beast, the Molten Gold Lion — the Seventh Order Molten Gold Lion Flame.

The flames in the hands of these two individuals were of exceptionally high quality compared to the thousands of flames in the square, easily ranking among the best.

The one who attracted the most attention was naturally the Demoness Cao Ying.

She Yan Ran, flicked her jade-like fingers, and a blood-red flame, as if it had a life of its own, leaped from her fingertip.

This flame was extremely strange. Inside it, there was a blood-red figure with a fairly clear appearance, slowly writhing and struggling, emitting a strong bloody aura and a violent energy fluctuation.

"Blood Demon Flame Fire!" someone knowledgeable exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Ming's eyes flickered slightly, and he understood.

This is the artificial flame that the Cao Family created by collecting the blood of thousands of Fire Attribute Magical Beasts at great cost and fusing and refining them using a special secret method.

In terms of form and certain characteristics, this fire does bear some resemblance to his Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, both being based on the essence of myriad beasts.

However, in terms of inherent power and Spirituality, how can this man-made Blood Demon Flame Fire compare to the Heavenly Flames and Myriad Beast Spirit Flame born from heaven and earth? They are worlds apart.

Even so, in this sky ablaze with Wan Huo, Cao Ying's Blood Demon Flame Fire, once unleashed, instantly overwhelmed Dan Chen and Song Qing's flames with its ferocity and powerful aura, taking the lead and attracting countless envious and awe-inspiring gazes. Cao Ying's red lips curved slightly, seemingly quite satisfied with this effect.

However, Cao Ying's smile hadn't fully bloomed yet—

A very peculiar fluctuation suddenly emanated from an inconspicuous stone platform at the edge of the square!

The fluctuations possessed both the extreme chill that Ice-Sealed everything and the terrifying heat that Burn Mountains Boil Seas! These two completely opposite properties were perfectly blended together, forming a strange pressure that made one's soul tremble!

Buzz--!

Under the gaze of all, a flame of interwoven white and blue, like a spirit of ice and fire, slowly rose from Xiao Yan's palm.

As the flames flickered, the surrounding space constantly rippled with tiny folds and ice crystals due to the alternation of extreme heat and extreme cold.

The moment this flame appeared, it was as if an emperor had descended upon the world!

"Hiss hiss hiss--"

The entire sky, once dazzling and unrestrained, now seemed to have encountered its natural nemesis and Sovereign, and all emitted a faint wail!

The multicolored Sea of Fire dimmed slightly in an instant, and the flames all seemed to lower in height, as if subjects were paying homage to their king in silence!

Especially those Beast Flame of lower quality and weaker power flickered violently, their flames burning unpredictably, as if they were about to be completely extinguished under this oppressive force emanating from the source!

Wan Huo submit! This is the supreme majesty that only Heavenly Flames can possess!

"Heavenly Flames!"

The entire audience erupted in an uproar, countless gazes filled with shock and greed fixed on the ball of white-blue flame in Xiao Yan's hand.

No one expected that someone at this Pill Gathering would actually possess such a Heaven and Earth Rare Item!

Cao Ying's charming smile froze slightly, a deep shock and resentment flashing in her beautiful eyes. Although her Blood Demon Flame Fire was powerful, it still paled in comparison to a true Heavenly Flames. It was a fundamental difference.

As Xiao Yan felt the immense power of the new Heavenly Flames in his hand, a fusion of the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, the Wind Fury Dragon Flame, and the Green Lotus Core Flame Heavenly Flames, and witnessed the magnificent spectacle of ten Wan Huo paying homage, a faint, slightly smug, and triumphant smile involuntarily appeared on his young face.

So much so that at this moment, Xiao Yan's gaze, passing over the Sea of Fire and the crowd, was undisguisedly provocative, and shot straight at Lin Ming on the Central Stone Platform!

His eyes seemed to say: Look, this is my power! And from now on, the roles of brother and sister will change. From now on, it will be me, Xiao Yan, who will be suppressing you, Lin Ming!

Faced with Xiao Yan's blatant provocation, Lin Ming's face showed no sign of seriousness; instead, a meaningful wicked smile appeared on his face as well.

Lin Ming's mind raced. "Kid, don't think that just because you've refined your teacher Yao Chen's Bone Spirit Cold Flame and fused it with your own two other Heavenly Flames to create a new mixed Heavenly Flames, you can surpass me. Nice idea, but unfortunately..."

"Since I've already called you Xiao Yan's younger brother, then you'll always be Xiao Yan brother."

The moment the thought crossed Lin Ming's mind, an aura even more terrifying, domineering, and profound than Xiao Yan's white-blue Heavenly Flames suddenly awakened within him, like a primordial beast that had slumbered for countless ages!

Boom!

An indescribable pressure swept outwards from Lin Ming like a storm!

This oppressive force was neither simply scorching hot nor purely cold; rather, it contained a contradictory unity of destruction and rebirth, annihilation and creation, as if representing some kind of ultimate destructive power in the world!

Immediately afterward, under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, a strange yet noble purplish-red flame quietly leaped out from Lin Ming's fingertip.

The flame was a deep purplish-red color, with a vortex of stars slowly rotating at its core. At the edge of the flame, space was not distorted, but rather showed a subtle, black trace, like shattered glass!

A destructive aura, causing all the flames present, including the white-blue Heavenly Flames in Xiao Yan's hand, to tremble violently, filled the sky!

The Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame! A brand new existence formed by the fusion of four Heavenly Flames: the Mysterious Yellow Flame, the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame, the Sea Heart Flame, and the Fallen Heart Flame!

The moment this purplish-red flame appeared, it displayed its unparalleled domineering power!

The Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame didn't even try to suppress anyone, but the natural pressure emanating from it spread out like an invisible domain.

The white-blue Heavenly Flames in Xiao Yan's hand, which had originally attracted the worship of Wan Huo, suddenly stopped shining. The smooth flame pulsed and froze for a moment, and the aura it emitted was forcibly suppressed!

Originally, Xiao Yan's Heavenly Flames suppressed the entire scene, but now, Lin Ming's Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame has turned the tables and suppressed Xiao Yan's Fused Exotic Fire!

A bizarre scene unfolded in the Sea of Fire in the sky.

Centered on Lin Ming and Xiao Yan, two invisible force fields seemed to have formed. Lin Ming's purplish-red flames occupied most of the field, exuding a terrifying aura of dominance; Xiao Yan's white and blue flames held their ground, and although suppressed, they still resisted stubbornly, radiating an indomitable power of ice and fire.

The auras of two peerless Heavenly Flames collided and clashed silently in the sky, making the energy in that area extremely violent and unstable.

The terrifying pressure spread out in waves, causing the Alchemist on the stone platform who were trying their best to control their flames to cry out in agony and turn pale.

Their flames, caught in the aftermath of the clash between these two supreme powers, became extremely difficult to control, as if they might turn on them at any moment.

The three giants and the elders around them were all taken aback by this situation. Heavenly Flames were already rare, and now two of them had appeared. Moreover, when they compared these two with the Heavenly Flames on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, they found that none of them matched the two flames on Lin Ming and Xiao Yan.

However, even if they had many questions, all they could do at this point was watch the performance by the people on the stone platform.

"Damn it! Those two monsters!"

The clash between Lin Ming and Xiao Yan's flames caused many people to grit their teeth and curse under their breath, while they also desperately tried to stabilize the restless flames in the Medicinal Cauldron.

This suffocating battle of fire did not last long.

After a few breaths, the two seemed to have reached a delicate balance.

Lin Ming's Purple Extreme Annihilation Flame occupied about 60% of the aura domain, while Xiao Yan's new type of Heavenly Flames stabilized the remaining 40%. Neither could gain the upper hand, and if the stalemate continued, both would suffer heavy losses, and it would also seriously affect others' alchemy.

Lin Ming and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of approval and an even more fervent fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Almost simultaneously, the two of them, with a thought, suppressed the terrifying pressure emanating from their own Heavenly Flames and began to focus on themselves.

The oppressive feeling in the sky suddenly disappeared, and all the Alchemist felt a sense of relief, as if a huge burden had been lifted from their bodies. They gasped for breath, their backs soaked with cold sweat.

Their gazes as they looked at the two figures at the center and the edge were filled with complex emotions—awe, fear, and a hint of resentment.

After this brief but thrilling clash of Heavenly Flames, everyone understood that the championship of this Pill Gathering would likely be contested between these two young people who possessed unparalleled Heavenly Flames!

"We can't delay any longer!"

Someone gave a low shout, and instantly, all the Alchemist on the stone platforms composed themselves, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in their hearts. They carefully took out the medicinal herbs they had prepared from their Storage Ring.

In an instant, all sorts of strange lights and colors bloomed, and the extremely rich Medicinal Fragrance spread like a tangible thing, even temporarily dispelling the remaining violent aura of flames in the air.

The real alchemy process has only just begun!

Lin Ming's gaze swept over the dozens of rare medicinal herbs floating in front of him, each radiating immense energy. His eyes instantly became incredibly focused and calm, all traces of his previous domineering and wicked smile vanishing.

With a thought, the Myriad Beast Cauldron landed in front of him. Then, with a flick of his finger, the eerie purplish-red flame swept into the huge Medicinal Cauldron, bursting into a blazing inferno that transformed the entire interior of the Medicinal Cauldron into a purplish-red sea of Sea of Fire.

Alchemy, let's begin!
