Chapter 325: Flames of the Arcadian Sky (1/2)

Blue flames exploded in all directions. Chen Wentian’s body disappeared within the flames which quickly grew into a towering inferno. The temperature was so hot and the spiritual pressure was so intense that Abbotess Liang had to take many steps back. She didn’t know what was going on and she didn’t expect him to have so much strength remaining.

The flames continued to rise and expand, turning everything in the surrounding into a molten pit of lava. It was not a normal immortal flame but one that contained incomprehensible and arcane attributes that touched upon the laws of the world. This Dao of flame far surpassed anything Abbotess Liang had experienced before.

It was unnatural. It didn’t make sense. It wasn’t possible for a Spirit Lord!

Within Chen Wentian’s soul realm, a blue star glowed strongly, bathing the darkness of the soul space with brilliant flames. The stars that comprised the other souls dimmed in response, out of fear and respect.

At the same time, two foggy human shapes imprisoned in the middle of the soul realm howled and struggled within their prisons. They were the souls of Immortal Berserk Ox Ji Tiangu and Immortal Thousand Owl Zhou Tongpu, two human Spirit Lords killed by Chen Wentian during the attack on Beast God City several months ago. He didn’t use them for his cultivation at that time, simply leaving the two Spirit Lord souls entombed within his soul space. Now, their souls would serve a great purpose.

The Anatta Soul Nirvana Art had a secret ability, one that could sacrifice souls for a temporary boost in power for the primary soul… Annihilating Soul Ignition!

The first one chosen was Ji Tiangu. Rays of multi-colored light pierced his soul from all directions. The ox man struggled mightily against his shackles but it was futile. He gave one last mournful cry before his very existence was ignited and turned into pure energy. His soul was wiped out, forcibly removed from the cycle of samsara, a complete annihilation!

There was a blinding flash followed by a tremendous wave of spiritual energy, one that surged out of Chen Wentian’s soul realm and overflowed into his real body. This was the strongest state he could achieve right now, one that could barely contend with a Spirit King. It allowed him to use the powers of the blue dragon to their full potential.

The sea of flames around him contracted, pulling in all of the spiritual energy into a condensed form. The phantasm around his body morphed into a distinct shape with a long sinewy body, a pair of massive wings, four clawed limbs, a long waving tail, and a spiky head. It was over ten meters long with his real body nestled around the chest area.

“What trick is this?” Abbotess Liang shouted.

The shimmering beast head turned to her and opened its mouth wide, “Rooaaarrrr!!”

The stream of blue flames shot out of the beast's mouth and straight at her!

“Tch…”

She brought her giant purple palms together to block, forming a wall several stories tall.

Shaaaa!!

Blue met against purple and there was an almighty clash of spiritual energies. On one side was a tired Spirit King, barely holding on after continuous battles. On the other was a Spirit Lord wielding the flames of a blue dragon, powered by the ignition of an immortal soul.

The intensity of the flames shocked her. Her purple palms were being burned rapidly, something that shouldn’t be possible. She, a Spirit King, couldn’t block the attack completely. She was being pushed back by a Spirit Lord. This simple fact defied common sense.

Blue flames burned the giant purple palms, taking away layer after layer. As each one was scorched to ash, another appeared behind it, forming a self-repairing shield made up of countless layers tough of fabric.

Chen Wentian roared again, sending more flames.

Abbotess Liang countered, desperately doubling her defenses even further and finally. she managed to fully block the flames. Although she was forced to expend a great amount of spiritual energy which she could not afford, a straightforward flame attack such as this wasn’t enough to defeat a Spirit King.

Chen Wentian realized this and recalled his flame breath. He then took to the air, taking his blue dragon avatar with him. High above the battlefield, he let out a long dragon cry followed by a great shockwave of spiritual power. This was not ordinary immortal power but one that came from the unique divine art of the blue dragon.

This was the secret art created by blue dragons, a unique Dao that only blue dragons could wield!

Flames of the Arcadian Sky, 1st Phase, World Scorching Cyclone!

Chen Wentian flew rapidly in a circle, leaving a trail of blue flames that formed into a giant circle above Abbotess Liang’s head. He then descended, carrying the spinning flames down to the ground, creating a infernal cyclone that entombed her within.

“Close!” He shouted.

The cyclone shrank and burned Abbotess Liang from all directions. The spinning flames ripped away her spiritual aura until it was all gone. When the searing heat finally touched her bare skin, she let out a wretched scream.

“Ahhhhhh!”

Her long, wailing scream echoed within the firestorm. It was a cry of agony, unwillingness, and outrage. But it wasn’t enough to protect her against divine flames…
