Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1042 - Divinity Descending to the Mortal World

Chapter 1042: Divinity Descending to the Mortal World

Jiang Yi understood what Mantis Blade knew, but there was no way he could escape. The air was being controlled continuously. With Mantis Blade underground, Jiang Yi had no choice but to break out from underneath.

He could have run in other directions, but that would only cause Mantis Blade to chase after him all the more. Mo Shen had no way to keep acting. He had to either stand back or be determined to wage war against Mantis Blade and the others.

He had to repay the debt in full!

Jiang Yi had always been this way. Mo Shen had risked his life to save him. How could he allow Mo Shen to really be killed? If he did, then the Heaven Devil Race and Mo Yao’er would have a hard time surviving for sure.

Jiang Yi chose not to escape via the underground passageways for another important reason—Huo Yan, Meng Nong, and Mantis Blade were already there. That meant that Cao Peiwen would not remain hidden in his Tiger Subdue Mountain. The moment Qiu Shan went underground, Jiang Yi knew that Curmudgeon Cao would surely follow suit. If Jiang Yi remained underground, he was likely to run into Cao Peiwen.

Thus, he chose the path that most would think led to death. It was only this path that would grant him an opportunity to live!

If he really wanted to escape, he could only use Heaven Evasion. If he wanted to use Heaven Evasion, he had to kill Meng Nong. That was because Meng Nong was controlling the space. If Jiang Yi did not kill him, it would be impossible to use the divine skill.

Bang!

Something exploded from his body. A huge fire snake welcomed him above ground. Its flames were the strongest flames that the Fire Chi Race was capable of releasing. This was the Fire Snake Dance!

The Fire Snake Dance was released by a Demigod. It seemed to carry with it frightening amounts of power. All the ice within a five-kilometer-radius melted, causing the air to be filled with water vapor which dimmed the sun in the sky. Nearby, the scouts in hiding retreated. Their skin was visibly flushed. They had nearly been burnt alive.

“Mm, this flame is comparable to a refined Thunder Fire. It really is aggressive.”

Jiang Yi nodded his head subtly. Flames like that could kill Heaven Monarchs—and large groups of them at that. It was really smart for the Fire Chi Race to be activating their flames in the Snow Region.

However!

What Huo Yan did not know was that Jiang Yi was an expert at playing with fire. In fact, he had played with much scarier flames than these. All things aside—even the Fire Spirit Rock that Jiang Yi dealt with back at the Stellarsky Continent was comparable to these flames.

Jiang Yi had a treasure with him. That treasure had saved his life multiple times. It was also the strongest fire-resistant weapon that Jiang Yi had ever seen! There was none like it!

Buzz!

The Fire Spirit Pearl in his sleeve lit up. A huge power entered his body and caused a transparent defensive shield to form around his body. It not only kept the heat away from his body, but it also absorbed the flames that the Fire Snake was emitting.

“Die!”

The huge Fire Snake swallowed Jian Yi’s body whole. Its eyes were icy and fierce. Right now, Jiang Yi looked like one belonging to the Phantom Race. His body was translucent. They watched as he shot in and out of the fire snake’s body. It was almost as if he had turned into a ghost, which the flames had no effect on whatsoever.

“Er...”

Huo Yan’s heart skipped a beat. He was in shock. He knew the power of his own flames. Yet, even without a divine shield, Jiang Yi could resist them. He thought for a second that he was seeing things.

“Jolting Kill Through Air!”

Jiang Yi charged toward Huo Yan like a crazed dragon. He summoned his astral winds without a sound, forming an Astral Winds Divine Shield in front of him in a flash. At the same time, he gathered the winds into Astral Wind Blades which shot straight toward Huo Yan.

“This? This is...”

Huo Yan had the skills of a Demigod and naturally had a god spirit as well. How fast would his reaction be? Once his divine senses landed on Jiang Yi and his Astral Winds Divine Shield, he was surprised. Did Jiang Yi use his Astral Winds Divine Shield to fend himself against the Fire Snake Dance?

Shame washed over Huo Yan for a second. He was the clan head of the Fire Chi Race—the first in bending fire within the Snow Region. Yet, he could not even kill off a peak-stage Heaven Monarch? Many people were watching this battle. He felt like he was losing face. He roared in rage, “Hmph, I’m going to see how strong your defense is. I’ll let you have a taste of the strongest flames—the Heaven-Devouring Devil Flames!”

Tsk! Tsk!

He cupped the moon with both his hands and turned them around. A black flame appeared between his hands and rapidly grew bigger and bigger. The temperature around the flames rose rapidly as the flame danced around in Huo Yan’s hands. It looked like Huo Yan was forming a monster in his hands.

“Go!”

He pushed both of his hands out and caused the ball of black flames to shoot out immediately. The two Astral Wind Blades in the flame’s way was reduced to dust.

“This flame is extremely strong! It must be even stronger than the Nine Heaven True Flames, but much weaker than Nirvana Flames.”

By sensing the temperature around the ball of flames, Jiang Yi guessed the grade of these flames. It did not bother him in the least bit. A soft sword and a black long sword appeared in each of his hands. He was already at this stage—there was no reason to retain any more powers for himself. He had to make sure that he would not be buried here.

“Fury of Thunder, Divine Sound Heaven Skill!”

Jiang Yi roared and caused the two swords to dance in front of him. The winds in the Nine Heavens immediately stirred. A bolt of lightning cut open the night sky, striking Huo Yan squarely in his divine shield. At the same time, a terrifying sound was heard. All around, the scouts wrapped their arms around their heads and rolled around.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Two of the Astral Wind Blades had been reduced to dust, but there were still eight more. Each of them shot aggressively toward Huo Yan’s divine shield. Jiang Yi had employed most of the techniques that he knew, but he still did not dare to employ the Rainbow Soul Spear. After all, the flames that Huo Yan released were already flying toward him. The Rainbow Soul Spear would likely not be able to withstand the flames.

“Alright!”

Once the divine lightning struck, Huo Yan’s divine shield vibrated from the impact. It had been a long time since Jiang Yi used the Fury of Thunder. Dao patterns were closely linked to the cultivation level of the martial artist. In the past, even though he had low levels of essence force, his Fury of Thunder could kill Heaven Monarchs in the peak stage. Now that his essence force levels were equivalent to Heaven Monarchs in the peak stage, the Fury of Thunder was much more powerful. It almost destroyed Huo Yan’s divine shield.

“Uh...”

The Divine Sound Heaven Skill was obviously much more powerful now as well. Jiang Yi’s spirit and essence force levels had increased significantly. It would be hard to imagine that his powers would remain the same. Upon hearing the strange sounds, Huo Yan’s spirit shook. However, he pulled himself together very quickly and realized that his divine shield had been weakened. Now, the Astral Wind Blades were heading straight toward him. With a jolt, he realized that if he took one more second to rest, his divine shield would be destroyed for sure!

“This rascal...”

However, something else shocked him even more. When the strong flames hit Jiang Yi’s body, Jiang Yi did not suffer damage at all. Instead, the flames disappeared into his body. Huo Yan blinked and quickly pulled himself together once again. He shouted, “The Divine Sound Heaven Skill, the Fury of Thunder, and your resistance against the strongest of flames. Are you Jiang Yi?”

“It’s too late to realize this. I destroyed five Demigods single-handedly on Stupa Mountain. Killing you would be as easy as killing an ant. Die!”

Jiang Yi’s body lit up with bolts of electricity as he flew up into the air. With every thirty meters he flew above ground, his aura became even stronger. His roar shook the heavens and the earth. Each word he spoke was powerful and earth-shaking. The swords in his hands began to dance again as the divine lightning in the Nine Heavens became activated once again. Under Jiang Yi’s command, they lit up half the night sky. Jiang Yi looked like a divinity descending onto the mortal world.

“Uh...”

Huo Yan’s entire body trembled. He had almost died. His strongest flames did not have the slightest effect on Jiang Yi. His race was the best in bending fire, but the rest of their attacks were only average. Thus, upon hearing Jiang Yi’s words, fear began to rise in Huo Yan’s chest.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Far away, a figure landed on a hill. He raised both fists up in the air and waved them, causing the layers of air all around to stir. Meng Nong of the Mammoth Race had arrived.

Huo Yan turned around to look at him. At the exact same moment, the lightning struck down on his divine shield, causing it to shake. Panicked, he activated his essence force and focused on stabilizing his divine shield. He did not attack again. Instead, he ran toward Meng Nong.

“This...”

The countless scouts and martial artists were stunned. Huo Yan was one of the patriarchs of the Ten Sects in the Snow Region. He was so afraid of Jiang Yi that he was running away?
