Chapter 520: Spiritual Hexaflame Formation (2/2)

Her words rendered everyone present confused.

“Nie Tian? Who’s Nie Tian?” Dong Kang asked, a confused expression spreading across his face.

Gu Haofeng, Qian Xin, and Cao Qiushui were also deeply puzzled.

Even Lu Jian from the Spirit God Sect failed to understand who she was talking about at first. He just felt that the name ‘Nie Tian’ sounded quite familiar.

However, Yang Kan was the first one to come back to his senses after his brief bewilderment. “Nie Tian! You’re the Nie Tian who obtained the fragmentary star marks during the Heaven Gate trial?!”

The other two Flame God Sect disciples were also shocked into a daze upon hearing Qin Yan calling the name ‘Nie Tian’. Therefore, the pressure on Qin Yan and Feng Ying’s shoulders was instantly relieved.

One of them snapped back to his senses and exclaimed, “The Flame Dragon Armor! He has the Flame Dragon Armor with him!”

“He’s the kid our sectmaster has been looking for!” the other chimed in.

Yang Kan’s words reminded Dong Kang, Qian Xin, and the others on the outside, and they finally remembered who Nie Tian was.

It was the young man who had obtained two fragmentary star marks during the Heaven Gate trial, later obtained the third from Ning Yang, and sealed the spatial rifts in the Realm of Flame Heaven, the Realm of Mystic Heaven, and the Realm of a Thousand Devastations, stifling the Demons’ invasion plan.

Afterwards, he had turned down the Heaven Palace Sect’s offer of joining their sect. His incredible achievements and unconventional behavior had long since made him a household name throughout the Domain of the Falling Stars.

It was just that he had been so mysterious and unpredictable that very few people had ever seen him.

After coming back to their senses, everyone’s gazes focused on Nie Tian, who was previously known as Mu Han.

They couldn’t know Feng Ying, Dong Baijie, and Dong Li better.

Mu Han was the only one behind the flame ward who they knew very little of, but possessed shocking battle prowess. Who else could Qin Yan be talking to, if it wasn’t Nie Tian?

“So you’re Nie Tian! That explains it!” With a cunning laugh, Yang Kan ended his battle with Dong Baijie and Dong Li, and dashed directly towards Nie Tian. “Hand over the Flame Dragon Armor! The Flame Dragon Armor is a Spirit Channeling grade treasure that rightfully belongs to our sect. If I can bring it back to our sectmaster, my status in our sect will surely rise over Tang Yang’s!

“The Flame Dragon Armor will never take you as its master, and you will never be able to wear it!”

With an excited expression, Yang Kan once again held out his crystal ball, which glittered with fiery light, and used it to channel raging flames from the flame ward in an attempt to engulf him with them.

As Xia Yi’s potential successor, he had the privilege of listening Xia Yi explain the profound truths of flame power to him.

From Xia Yi, he had learned that the lost Blood Core was a very important part of the Flame Dragon Armor.

According to him, during a great war, the Blood Core had been drained of flame power, and the soul within it had also been damaged, causing it to fall into a state of dormancy.

Only when the Blood Core was in the hand of the right person would its soul be awakened, and would it take that person as its master.

This would only happen to those who were born with an unmatched flame power cultivation talent.

However, even if the Flame Dragon Armor’s soul was awakened, it would still take a very long time for it to recover flame power and fix the damage it had taken.

From his previous exchange with Nie Tian, Yang Kan had learned that Nie Tian practiced flame power, wood power, and star power. Therefore, considering that he practiced power of multiple attributes, he deemed it was impossible for the Flame Dragon armor to take him as its master.

That meant that even if Nie Tian had the Flame Dragon Armor in his possession, its soul would still be dormant, and it couldn’t be used.

That was why he was thrilled, instead of afraid, when he learned Nie Tian’s true identity from Qin Yan. He assumed that the Flame Dragon Armor was already his to take.

After Qin Yan revealed his true identity, Nie Tian smiled in an unconstrained manner and asked, “You want the Flame Dragon Armor? Okay, as you wish!”

The Flame Dragon Armor flew out of his ring of holding, giving rise to thunderous sounds.

In the next moment, the earthflame crystal strings in the six crimson stone columns, as well as the earthflame crystal strings in the crystal ball in Yang Kan’s hand, grew restless.

Yang Kan’s expression instantly flickered.

WHOOSH!

As the Flame Dragon Armor shot towards Yang Kan, earthflame essence and earthflame crystal strings rushed out of the crystal ball in his hand uncontrollably.

The earthflame essence within the crimson stone columns was also forcibly sucked out by the Flame Dragon Armor.

“T-this is impossible!” After a brief hesitation, Yang Kan decisively gave up the crystal ball in his hand and cast it at Nie Tian.

Under his disbelieving gaze, one earthflame crystal string after another flew into the central chest area of the Flame Dragon Armor, where they were absorbed by a dragon bone that glittered with bright, blood-colored light.

Gnashing his teeth, Yang Kan distanced himself from Nie Tian and the Flame Dragon Armor, and dashed towards the end of the colorful area.

BOOM!

Just as he was about to touch the thick, colorful mist at the very end of the segment, a violent aura suddenly burst forth from within him. He forcibly gathered all of his flame power, and a new vortex of spiritual power came to form in his spiritual sea.

“Take me with you, Big Brother Yang!”

Lu Jian cried for his life as he exerted all his strength and caught up to Yang Kan, holding onto the tip of Yang Kan’s garment.

As Yang Kan thrummed with a violent aura, giving rise to loud rumbles, the crimson stone columns and the flame ward morphed into a river of raging flames and flew back to him.

Yang Kan’s sudden breakthrough in cultivation created a spherical aura around him, which also enveloped Lu Jian. In the next moment, the two of them flew through the colorful mist that separated the two segments, instantly disappearing from everyone else’s view.

Everyone present stood aghast.
