Chapter 325: Flames of the Arcadian Sky
Blue flames exploded in all directions. Chen Wentians 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 didnt know what was going on and she didnt 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 didnt make sense. It wasnt possible for a Spirit Lord!
Within Chen Wentians 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 didnt 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 Wentians 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 shouldnt be possible. She, a Spirit King, couldnt 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 wasnt 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 Liangs 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 wasnt enough to protect her against divine flames
The cyclone eventually ran out of energy and dissipated. What was left was Spirit King who looked like a burnt chicken. Her face and body were charred beyond recognition. Her burnt skin cracked and split with the slightest movement, causing fresh blood to pour out.
Her burnt mouth split open and she croaked out, You who are you?
Immortal Blue Dragon Chen Wentian. He answered.
You impossible. You cant possibly have blue dragon flames! How can a human have a divine beast legacy? Dont lie to me! Ill rip the truth out of your dying mind!
Chen Wentian ignored her and readied his next attack. His spiritual energy spread out to the left and right, forming countless swirls of flame in a battle formation. Once the whirlpools gathered enough power, beams of blue dragon flames shot down like divine spears.
Flames of the Arcadian Sky, 2nd Phase, Azure Sunray!
The first two beams blasted where Abbotess Liang stood but she was no longer there. In a flash, she was in the air, charging directly at Chen Wentian.
The Azure Sunray tried to stop her. The next two beams scored glancing hits, ripping away chunks of flesh and charring the wound. More beams of flame followed; some missing and some scoring direct hits. As she steadily approached, she more and more resembled a human-shaped lump of coal. Despite the damage, she kept coming, not even bothering to dodge when she was close enough.
Chen Wentian realized too late what she wanted to do. He tried to dodge but he was too slow. She slammed through the blue dragon phantasm and straight into his real body.
Ahhhh!
He spat out a mouthful of blood as he was knocked away like a leaf in the wind. He clutched at his chest which felt like it had been crushed by a mountain.
He whirled to face his enemy. She kept going after the strike for a little while before stopping. She changed direction and came around for a repeat of the same attack.
Azure Sunray!
A flurry of flame beams crisscrossed the sky.
Abbotess Liang once again charged through it all, disregarding her own body.
Bang!
Her black figure collided with Chen Wentian and this time, he was sent spinning towards the ground. Momentarily stunned and helpless, he smashed down with enough force to collapse a mountain.

An update regarding my other novel, The Treasure King.
The rewrite and editing has been slow but I've been learning a lot of making a lot of changes. I am getting close to the end of book 1 so I have decided to do a soft relaunch of the second novel. I have removed a bunch of older chapters but I have uploaded the first 34 chapters which consist of the first act of book 1 of TTK.
I still have a few more weeks to go to finish editing the entirety of book 1 and I am aiming for a release date of Oct 1.
Please check it out at /read/165614-the-treasure-king/chapter/165617/
