Divine & Bizarre: Increasing Points to Invincibility-Chapter 831 - 230: The Stolen Fortune of the Great Yan Kingdom! The Imperial City Trembles!
The extremely distorted air, baked by the scorching heat, made the scenery of the Zhou Dynasty seem very unreal... Whether it was Fan Wu’s body or the Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable’s body, to the naked eye, they looked as if they were strips of meat that had been twisted into pretzels.
Around them, some trees that had long since collapsed were now bursting into flame, and many building ruins had also begun to blaze fiercely, engulfing the entire Situ Family residence.
The towering flames rose tens of meters high, and the terrifying temperature was still climbing rapidly.
The temperature had soared to hundreds, even thousands of degrees in the blink of an eye.
It was even rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The ground beneath Fan Wu and Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable had turned into a roiling, bubbling sea of magma. The flowing magma passed relentlessly under Fan Wu’s feet, making him seem as though he was standing in a magma swamp.
Such a magma swamp bound his legs while at the same time allowing him to feel an intense heat. The fact that even Fan Wu could feel the scorching temperature was enough to show that this was no ordinary magma.
Some of the surrounding objects were even directly vaporized by this intense heat! Fan Wu watched as a collapsed rockery in front of him vanished into thin air.
Behind the Laws-Phantom Demon Venerable, the Heart Demon Mirror was like a fierce sun falling from the ninth heaven, its sunlight illuminating the Imperial City!
Perhaps... most of the people in the Imperial City could see such a sunlight.
Though it was clearly the deep autumn season, many felt hotter than the scorching heat of midsummer.
Countless people stared dumbfounded at the Situ Family residence.
In their eyes, they saw a fierce sun!
Such a sun should have been high in the sky, but now, it had appeared on the ground, causing the scenery within a radius of tens of kilometers around the Situ Family residence to be distorted by the horrific heat.
Nearby residences... could even see their houses spontaneously combust. These neighbors, originally too scared by the demons and devils to run, now had to flee under the raging fire.
Because... the flames were already threatening to burn their backsides, and the horrifying heat made their whole bodies feel intense pain. If they didn’t muster the courage to flee, they would be roasted alive!
The massive fire spread over dozens of kilometers, placing a vast area within a sea of flames. Whether it was the moist plants or the dry houses, all were burning up out of nowhere.
One after another, the citizens of Great Yan Dynasty shouted in panic, trying to put out the fire, but the fire was simply too vast. They wanted to save their homes, but the effort was beyond their capacity.
Out of desperation, they could only grab some of their possessions and run without looking back, escaping the sea of flames.
Logically, one shouldn’t risk entering a burning house to retrieve possessions.
There was a high chance of not making it out, and once one couldn’t escape, they would likely end up as a corpse.
But they were ordinary citizens, and those possessions were everything they had.
If their possessions were consumed by the fire, they would have nothing left, becoming refugees.
What difference was there between being a refugee and being dead?
Even such a fire... had already spread to the outskirts of the Imperial Palace of the Great Yan Dynasty! Yes... the outer walls of the Imperial Palace had begun to burn fiercely. It was the large wooden gate of the palace walls that first caught fire.
Beleaguered guards, eunuchs, and maids, all sweating profusely from the intense heat, carried wooden buckets and, disregarding their own safety, rushed to fight the fire, shouting, "Hurry and put out the fire!"
With such a catastrophe at hand, they were the most worried... because if the Emperor became angry over this, many were likely to bear the brunt of his wrath. And these minor maids, guards, and eunuchs were the most vulnerable to such misdirected anger.
Although they were fearful of the distant, terrifying demons and devils, and the raging fire before them, they had no choice but to grit their teeth. Even if exhausted and gasping for breath, they had to extinguish the flames.
Yet... as the temperature of the surrounding air kept soaring, even some of the trees around the perimeter of the Imperial Palace began to blaze fiercely, and the faces of the palace people were marred with despair.
With so many places catching fire, how much water could they possibly scoop with their wooden buckets to douse the flames? If the entire Imperial Palace caught fire, the trouble would be immense!
At that moment, within the depths of the Imperial Palace of the Great Yan Imperial City, a tall figure dressed in a Dragon Robe stood atop a pavilion.
Such a figure, clothed in a Dragon Robe, was evidently the ruler of the Great Yan Dynasty!
After all, only the sovereign of a nation would dare to wear a Dragon Robe.
"Your Majesty... it’s too dangerous outside, shall we relocate elsewhere?" a frail old eunuch suggested from behind the Great Yan Emperor.
The Great Yan Emperor, dressed in a Dragon Robe and with white hair, frowned and said, "I am not that frail yet."
After such words fell... the old eunuch behind him immediately dared not speak another word.
