Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 249 - 247: Burning Heart
"Heaven-Locking Divine Chain!"
Xu Yang took a step forward, spiritual light flaring at his brow, as Six Paths Locking Heaven Divine Chain burst forth!
Boom!
The air before him twisted and collapsed, as if struck by thunder.
The six chains swept forth with unstoppable force, shrouding the six Spirit Fires like lightning!
Bam bam bam!!
Sparks scattered as the Spirit Fires shrieked miserably, writhing in fury!
Each divine chain bound a Spirit Fire, with hints of fragmentation appearing in an instant!
Xu Yang had predicted this!
These Spirit Fires were formidable—at least three chains were needed just to restrain them for a moment!
And to completely suppress and bind one, it would take four or five chains at least!
But that would only work for one Spirit Fire!
For now, a fleeting instant was all he needed!
Cangxu Divine Eyes reflected all within the periphery void, as Xu Yang appeared spectrally beside the nearest Spirit Fire and slammed his palm down!
Boom!
The Spirit Fire was struck as by lightning, splitting with a resounding crack!
Xu Yang opened his mouth and inhaled!
Fragments of the Spirit Fire entered his body, blazing and wild, fierce and pure yang!
His flesh and blood boiled completely, as if igniting; radiant crimson light surged from his skin’s surface.
Xu Yang ran the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture, rapidly absorbing.
This Spirit Fire’s power had accumulated for years, pure and vast, greatly benefiting his cultivation!
Without delay, Xu Yang shifted and shattered three more Spirit Fires in the blink of an eye!
At the same time, the last three broke free of the chains and came exploding toward him.
Xu Yang’s expression remained calm as the Demon Dragon Saber shot out from his hand.
Roar!
The dragon’s soul awoke, fiercely suppressive, entangling one of the Spirit Fires out of nowhere.
"Yin Yang Demon Dragon Seal!"
Xu Yang formed seals with both hands, sinister might flooding the cavern, one seal transformed into a demon dragon, his eyes tangled in black and white, yin and yang entwined, crushing the periphery void space below.
Bang!
The Spirit Fire before him was smashed, webbed with cracks!
Xu Yang’s lips curved in a smile; he strolled leisurely and swept forward with the Demon Dragon Saber in hand.
Boom!
Massive plumes of fire mist splashed.
All six Spirit Fires were slain!
His whole body’s pores opened, drawing in surging fragments of Spirit Fire and devouring them madly.
Instantly, his whole figure was drowned in fire, brilliance fierce and astounding!
Wang Xiuniang was utterly dumbstruck!
Too powerful!
Just one would leave her helpless, yet before Xu Yang, they’re so feeble!
In no more than ten breaths, all were exterminated!
As Xu Yang refined the Spirit Fire’s power, he suddenly trembled all over, a fiery glint flashed in his eyes.
"Damned!"
Xu Yang bit his tongue hard, clamping down on his mind.
His inner desire had been stirred up!
This Spirit Fire was pure yang, and utterly frenzied.
An invisible lure made images of Su Yun’s alluring, graceful body surge uncontrollably in his mind—the stimulus of her lips against his drove him wild!
"Hmph!"
Xu Yang snorted coldly, True Essence surged, suppressing the Spirit Fire’s power and swiftly wiping all such images from his mind.
After a while.
Xu Yang exhaled turbid air, and as he looked up at Wang Xiuniang’s concerned gaze, a little spark flared within him!
The suppressed restlessness instantly flared up anew.
Wang Xiuniang’s pupils contracted; she saw at a glance that something was wrong with Xu Yang—a flash of greedy, burning heat in his eyes, threatening to consume her whole.
Gulp!
She swallowed excitedly, her voice trembling: "Mr. Xu, how about..."
"Shut up!"
Xu Yang’s face darkened, cursing silently as he yanked his gaze away and darted down below.
Wang Xiuniang sighed in disappointment.
She dared not force the matter!
Arriving below, Xu Yang stared warily at the surging spiritual mist before him.
He was confident in his willpower.
But these Spirit Fires...they were truly strange, able to stir up a martial artist’s greatest desire, and so intense he had to be cautious!
After pondering, Xu Yang swept his sleeve, a wave of True Essence gushed out like a hurricane.
Whoosh!
The fire mist instantly splintered, dispersing all around.
Only now did he stride forward, eyes fixed on the gradually sharpening silhouette in the depths.
"Is that... a person?"
Wang Xiuniang cried in surprise.
At the deepest part of the cavern sat a skeleton!
Not a hint of flesh or skin remained, only bones burned red, seated cross-legged on the floor!
Xu Yang’s eyes widened in shock.
The skeleton radiated intense, fiery energy; in such an environment, even its bones hadn’t melted away—proof of extraordinary might in life!
And those Spirit Fires were probably connected to the corpse, creating the freakish conditions of this place!
In life, it must have been a peak Myriad Phenomena Realm powerhouse who fell here!
Scanning the surroundings, there was nothing else.
Xu Yang frowned slightly, examining the skeleton, quickly spotting something unusual.
The right hand’s luster was clearly different—amid the red were tinges of purple spots.
Also, on one finger was a bronze ring, ancient and obscure!
A storage ring!
Seeing this, Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
At least the trip wasn’t wasted!
Though it was just a skeleton and he had no idea how long it’d been dead, Xu Yang dared not drop his guard, carefully taking another step forward.
Crash!
Suddenly, flames surged—the red bones of the skeleton erupted with blazing fire, transforming it into a flaming figure.
The fire raged like a storm, faintly weaving into a phantom humanoid, hideously lunging at Xu Yang.
The scattered fire mist was drawn in, roaring together in a wave.
"Watch out!"
Wang Xiuniang shouted in warning, retreating in terror!
Xu Yang’s expression changed drastically, Demon Dragon Saber shot forward, the Heaven-Locking Divine Chain manifesting from thin air.
Boom!
Spurt!
The fire mist was shredded viciously, yet the blade’s light passed straight through the fiery apparition, having no effect at all.
The Six Paths Locking Heaven Divine Chain instantly shrouded it!
Roar!
The fiery apparition let out a beast-like bellow, its glow erupting violently!
Crack!
The Six Paths Locking Heaven Divine Chain shattered on impact like thunder!
"Damn it!"
Xu Yang was on full alert, retreating in desperation.
But the fire phantom was lightning-fast, upon him in a heartbeat!
An unnameable dread swept over—a sensation Xu Yang knew there was no escaping from, so he halted, eyes blazing with ferocity.
"Let’s see what you really are?"
He advanced head-on.
Whoosh!
The fire phantom entered straight through his body.
Pain twisted Xu Yang’s face; he felt flesh burning, skin on the verge of melting.
His Sea of Consciousness lit up with tongues of flame, stabbing at his very soul!
Boom!
A lush, seductive vision bloomed in Xu Yang’s mind.
Su Yun herself!
"This fire phantom is like those Spirit Fires—it draws out desires, but far more powerfully!"
Xu Yang’s face turned grim.
He bit his tongue, clinging to clarity!
The visions in his mind shattered—only to have another form arise instantly.
Bai Jingxue!
Tuoba Hongyu!
...
The phantasms conjured were exhilarating!
The three women each wore revealing attire, swaying alluringly as they lunged at Xu Yang.
Eyes reddened, Xu Yang gritted his teeth, resisting!
Heaven-Locking Divine Chains emerged from his Sea of Consciousness, binding himself tightly!
No matter the assault, he stayed immovable as a mountain, mind clear!
"Want me to lose control? Let’s see how long you can last?"
Xu Yang sneered coldly.
Endurance, is it?
He activated the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture, anchoring his spirit with divine chains, protecting the sliver of clarity in his soul, ignoring all of the temptations thrown at him by the three beauties!
"Mr. Xu? Are you alright?"
Wang Xiuniang’s worried voice suddenly rang in his ear.
Xu Yang’s eyes reflected Wang Xiuniang’s form.
In that instant, his head ’boomed’—the phantoms of the three beauties exploded, replaced by a nude Wang Xiuniang!
"..."
