Chapter 223 - Chapter 223: Refining the Fallen Heart Flame!

"Mo Tian Xing, dead?"

"A 4 Star Dou Ancestor expert was killed by a 9 Star Dou King?"

Seeing the lifeless body of Mo Tian Xing, whose neck had been twisted, descending from the sky, the members of Yan Alliance showed expressions of disbelief and fear. At this moment, the morale of Yan Alliance irreversibly collapsed!

"Ah~"

Yun Tianming exhaled deeply, staring intently at the last trace of life leaving Mo Tian Xing's body. Finally, he relaxed completely, his tense nerves unwinding. A wave of exhaustion surged over him, rendering his entire body weak. His eyelids drooped, and his body lost all strength, causing him to fall straight to the ground.

"Swoosh—"

Just as Yun Tianming was about to fall, a beautiful figure flashed through the air and caught his unsteady body with her hand.

"Yun Tianming, you actually killed a Dou Ancestor expert. That's impressive!"

Zi Yan flew over, giving him a thumbs-up with a face full of admiration.

"You were too reckless. If you had asked for my help earlier, you wouldn't be in such a sorry state now,"

Cai Lin said coldly. However, despite her words, there was a hint of admiration in her eyes.

To kill a 4 Star Dou Ancestor with the power of a 9 Star Dou King was an achievement that could make one famous throughout the continent!

Yun Tianming, his vision blurred, glanced at the radiant figure beside him. Resting his head on her shoulder, he inhaled a sweet fragrance and gave a weak smile, "I didn't want Cai Lin to repay my favor so quickly."

Feeling the warmth of Yun Tianming's breath on her neck from such a close distance, Cai Lin's usually cold and elegant face showed a rare hint of unease. She hesitated for a moment but ultimately refrained from kicking the weak Yun Tianming away.

"Teacher, we..."

Seeing Yun Tianming fall, Xiao Yan felt a glimmer of hope reignite in his heart.

"No, there's no chance left."

Yao Chen shook his head expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "My Soul Power is almost exhausted. It's impossible to defeat Queen Medusa. Besides, the morale of the Yan Alliance has collapsed. We've lost this battle."

"Alliance Leader Xiao, we are injured and unable to continue fighting. We will retreat for now."

Seeing the situation turn dire and wary of Cai Lin's formidable strength, the Gold and Silver Elders decisively chose to flee. Yuan Yi, Tie Wu, Su Mei, and others also retreated, along with the powerful figures from Eight Gates, Wild Lion Gang, and Luo Sha Gate.

The fighting forces of the Yan Alliance were suddenly halved, leaving them overtaken by Jia Nan Academy in terms of current combat strength.

"Damn it! Those opportunistic bastards!" Xiao Yan stomped his foot in frustration.

"The people from Black-Corner Region are like this. They go with the flow to gain something, but the moment the situation turns unfavorable, they withdraw without hesitation," Yao Chen said, shaking his head helplessly.

"Yun Tianming, do you need me to step in and stop them?" Cai Lin's casual tone sent a chill down Xiao Yan's spine, while Yao Chen furrowed his brow. However, he wasn't overly fearful, as he still had various means to protect himself, even in dire situations.

"No," Yun Tianming responded after a moment of silence. "Those two are not easy to deal with. Cai Lin, I don't want you to take the risk."

Cai Lin's heart raced, and she thought to herself: Is this guy more worried about my safety than using my power?

"Everyone, retreat!"

Under the leadership of Xiao Yan and his teacher, the remaining members of the Yan Alliance quickly withdrew from the scene.

"Those Yan Alliance bastards!!"

The elders of Jia Nan Academy glared angrily at the departing figures of the Yan Alliance, eager to chase them down.

"Stop!"

"The Grand Elder is seriously injured and unconscious, and the Inner Academy is in ruins. We should focus on handling the aftermath," Hu Gan said with a grim expression. Today's battle had caused heavy casualties among both the old and young members of Jia Nan Academy, inflicting serious damage on the institution.

After the battle in the Inner Academy, Yun Tianming, aided by pills, recovered fully from his injuries, including the depletion of his Soul Power, in just five days.

"Finally recovered? If you had stayed any longer, I wouldn't have been able to hold it back."

A hint of fatigue flashed across Cai Lin's beautiful face. Over the past few days, using Spatial Strength to trap the Fallen Heart Flame had taken a significant toll on her.

"Thank you for this, Cai Lin," Yun Tianming said. While recovering, he had also made a batch of High Level Recovery Pills and slipped a few into her mouth.

"You're getting more and more audacious!" Cai Lin glared at him, feeling the pills melt instantly and turn into a rich energy that flowed into her body. She quickly activated her Qi Method to absorb the medicinal power.

"Alright, Cai Lin, you should go rest now," Yun Tianming said with a grin, patting her shoulder.

"Hmph!" Cai Lin huffed heavily and immediately lifted the spatial blockade.

"Chirp!!"

The Fallen Heart Flame erupted, sending an invisible fire python soaring into the sky, but it was immediately blocked by Yun Tianming's Green Ocean Lotus Flame.

"Do you still think you can escape at this point?"

Yun Tianming glanced at the invisible fire python below, noting that its size had shrunk considerably. It had been severely wounded by Yao Chen's full-powered attack using the Chilling Bone Flame and had been further suppressed by Cai Lin's spatial blockade, preventing it from absorbing the energy of heaven and earth for replenishment. As a result, the Fallen Heart Flame's strength had drastically decreased, now only capable of exerting power equivalent to the peak of a Dou Emperor.

"Chirp!"

The invisible fire python twisted its body, releasing a massive amount of invisible flames that instantly enveloped Yun Tianming, attempting to incinerate him entirely! Yun Tianming quickly summoned the Green Ocean Lotus Flame to protect his body from the burning, but suddenly he felt dizzy and experienced a sharp, burning pain from his soul.

"The Heart Fire that specifically targets the soul—is this the unique ability of the Fallen Heart Flame?"

Yun Tianming smirked. For anyone else, even a Dou Ancestor expert, the Fallen Heart Flame's soul-burning ability would be a significant problem.

"Unfortunately for you, my soul is a bit stronger than average!"

He formed a series of complex hand seals and used the Soul Technique: Divine Finger!

"Boom!"

An invisible giant finger struck the invisible fire python heavily, causing it to scream in pain from the severe blow. Seizing the opportunity, Yun Tianming waved his hand and condensed a Heavenly Flame spear, precisely striking the source Fire Seed within the invisible fire python.

"Next, it's time to refine it!"

Yun Tianming took out a pre-prepared Sixth Grade Pill: Ground Spirit Pill from his Spatial Ring. This pill is essential for refining a Heavenly Flame, as it maximizes protection against the backlash from the Heavenly Flame upon ingestion.
