Chapter 226 - Chapter 226: Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique, Comparable to Heaven Rank

Just as Yun Tianming was about to take away the young Fallen Heart Flame, a surge of powerful Soul Power suddenly emanated from the skeleton, enveloping Yun Tianming like a transparent net.

"Heh~"

Yun Tianming chuckled softly, forming a soul hand seal with one hand, which transformed into an invisible blade and instantly destroyed the net around him.

At this moment, the white light within the skeleton slowly squirmed and eventually transformed into a vague elderly phantom.

"What powerful Soul Power! No wonder you can control the Fallen Heart Flame."

The phantom looked deeply at Yun Tianming and then slowly spoke, his voice carrying an indescribable tone.

"Enough with the mystery. Identify yourself first."

Yun Tianming, who was well-versed in the original work, certainly knew the identity of this Soul entity before him, but pretended not to know.

"Sigh~ Young people these days really don't respect the elderly."

The Soul entity intended to give him a demonstration of power. With a wave of his hand, Yun Tianming felt a surge of Blood Qi within him, and the Fallen Heart Flame, as if summoned, actively left his body and drifted towards the entity.

"Even if you were the previous master of the Fallen Heart Flame, it is now mine!"

Yun Tianming grabbed it with a wave of his hand, releasing Flame Mantra Dou Qi. When he injected it into the Fallen Heart Flame, the invisible flame trembled violently, and soon he regained control, absorbing it back into his body.

"What Qi Method is this?"

The Soul entity seemed very surprised. In his lifetime, he was a Dou Venerate expert, cultivating a fire-attribute Earth Rank Mid Level Qi Method, and his control over the Fallen Heart Flame was superb. He had never expected that the opponent's Qi Method would be so unusual, surpassing his control over the Fallen Heart Flame.

"A mere remnant soul, I wonder how many seconds you can last under the burning of my Fallen Heart Flame?"

With a wave of his hand, Yun Tianming caused the Fallen Heart Flame to transform into an invisible fire python in his hand, which glared fiercely at the phantom Soul entity before him.

"Wait, wait a moment, young friend!"

The Soul entity pleaded repeatedly. No one understood better than him the destructive power of the Fallen Heart Flame on Soul entities. In his current weakened state, even the slightest touch would cause his soul to dissipate.

Faced with Yun Tianming's aggressive momentum, the Soul entity had no choice but to reveal his identity.

"My name is Yao Tian Huo, also known as Venerable Tian Huo!"

Venerable!

That was a title reserved only for Dou Venerate experts.

It really is Venerable Tian Huo!

A glint flashed in Yun Tianming's eyes, but his expression remained unmoved: "Once a Dou Venerate expert, now just a mere remnant soul."

Venerable Tian Huo's face showed a bitter expression, thinking to himself: If it were an ordinary Dou Emperor expert, I would have ensured he never returned. This kid, I don't know what Qi Method he cultivated, but he managed to surpass my control over the Fallen Heart Flame, and his Soul Power is very strong...

"You will rest here forever."

In front of Venerable Tian Huo, Yun Tianming unceremoniously took the young Fallen Heart Flame from the skeleton.

The young Fallen Heart Flame instinctively released flames strong enough to seriously injure a Dou Emperor, but after being blocked by Yun Tianming, it did not resist further.

Seeing Yun Tianming about to leave, Venerable Tian Huo became anxious and hurriedly called out, "Please stay, young friend!"

His physical body had long perished, and he had survived in this Magma World by relying on his powerful Soul Power and the energy emitted by the young Fallen Heart Flame. Now that his time was running out and the young Fallen Heart Flame had been taken, his remnant soul would dissipate within a few hours.

"Just say what you want to say."

Yun Tianming didn't bother with pleasantries.

"I see you possess dual fire and wood attribute Dou Qi, so you must be an Alchemist, right? And given that you can control the Fallen Heart Flame, your alchemy skills must be quite advanced?"

"I hope you can help me refine a pill to repair Soul damage."

Venerable Tian Huo spoke with a flattering tone, not caring about his dignity as a Dou Venerate expert in this life-and-death situation.

"Compensation."

Yun Tianming replied succinctly.

Venerable Tian Huo didn't dare to delay. He raised his hand and tore open a spatial rift within the Magma World, from which he retrieved a pale white scroll.

Seeing this, Yun Tianming thought to himself that this old guy was quite good at hiding things. No wonder he hadn't found anything valuable when he scanned the skeleton earlier.

"Back in the day, I met an unfortunate end due to the backlash of a Heavenly Flame, and I lost my life along with my Spatial Ring. All I have left is this scroll containing my life's work. It is my renowned Dou Technique: Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique. Its level is hard to define; it's a method for controlling fire. Its power depends entirely on the practitioner."

Venerable Tian Huo pondered for a moment, finally seeming to make a decision, and handed the scroll to Yun Tianming.

"Oh? Aren't you afraid I'll take your thing and then turn around and kill you?" Yun Tianming asked, surprised.

"If that happens, it must be my fate."

"After all, I don't have the power to threaten you, so I can only gamble."

Venerable Tian Huo sighed deeply. If he hadn't reached a dead end, he wouldn't have easily entrusted his entire life to someone else.

"With you putting it that way, I'd feel bad killing you now."

Yun Tianming smiled slightly, opened the scroll, and began to read: Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique, a fire-controlling method, divided into five levels, distinguished by the forms of beasts: wolf, leopard, lion, tiger, and dragon. Each level has its own Fire Spirit. When the technique is mastered, the five beasts can form the Five Ring Flame Expelling Formation, possessing immense power capable of boiling seas and burning skies.

Yun Tianming's gaze slowly swept over the somewhat simple introduction, then paused at the last line of small characters.

"If four of the five beasts are condensed from Heavenly Flames, this technique's power can rival that of a Heaven Rank Dou Technique!"

"What a technique comparable to a Heaven Rank Dou Technique! Did you master it?" Yun Tianming asked in surprise.

"No."

"But theoretically, if the practitioner possesses multiple Heavenly Flames, it can reach the power of a Heaven Rank Dou Technique."

Venerable Tian Huo smiled awkwardly. As the creator of the Dou Technique, he hadn't yet reached its peak, and theoretical claims lacked persuasive power.

Yun Tianming believed him, as in the original work, Xiao Yan used this Dou Technique to unleash a power comparable to a Heaven Rank Dou Technique.

Fearing that the Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique might not be enough to persuade Yun Tianming, Venerable Tian Huo gritted his teeth and said solemnly, "If you can take me out of this cursed place, I am willing to sign a Soul contract and serve you long-term."

"Serving me long-term sounds nice, but in the end, you just want me to refine a pill for you."

Yun Tianming saw through the other party's little scheme at a glance. With Venerable Tian Huo's current weakened Soul Power, he wouldn't last a few days before dissipating. To serve him, a pill must be refined to repair his soul.

"I've sold my soul to you, at least let me eat my fill, right?"

Venerable Tian Huo said helplessly.
