**
In the endless sea of magma, the dark red lava suddenly churned violently, emanating an incredibly wild energy.
As the lava roiled, it seemed as if something was about to burst forth.
Watching the scene, reminiscent of a storm raging over the sea, Mo Yu's silver eyes narrowed slightly. With his exceptional soul power and the memory of the original story, he had a faint premonition.
It seemed that the Fallen Heart Flame was about to break free.
This event marked a significant turning point in the original story, sparking the conflict between the Jia Nan Academy and the Black-Corner Region, followed by the creation of the 'Black Alliance' by Han Feng.
All of this began with the Fallen Heart Flame breaking its seal.
Han Feng led a large force of Black-Corner experts to seize the Fallen Heart Flame, while Jia Nan Academy fought fiercely to reseal it.
As for the ultimate outcome, naturally, it was Xiao Yan who benefited.
"Boom!"
While Mo Yu was deep in thought, a wave surged up from the surface of the magma nearby.
From within the flying lava, a gigantic fire serpent, nearly transparent with a head several meters wide, emerged, its body cloaked in an invisible flame, appearing in Mo Yu's intense gaze.
"Hisss!"
Emerging from the magma, the colossal transparent fire serpent, as if it had been imprisoned for a millennium, raised its massive head, letting out a shrill sound that could make an ordinary Dou Ling's body explode on the spot. The sound wave spread quickly.
As the sound echoed, the world of magma erupted like countless bombs exploding, with rumbling blasts and spurting flames everywhere.
After its near-maddening outburst, the massive transparent fire serpent sensed the gaze from above, abruptly lifting its massive head, its triangular pupils engulfed in invisible flames, locking tightly onto Mo Yu!
Despite the ice-cold gaze in its triangular eyes, if one looked closely, there was a trace of wariness deep within.
As the fourteenth-ranked flame on the Heavenly Flames list, the Fallen Heart Flame clearly possessed a high level of intelligence.
The two strands of Thunder Soul Mo Yu had unleashed to suppress the Heart Flame before had exerted considerable pressure on the Fallen Heart Flame.
Therefore, when facing Mo Yu, whom it typically considered a weak human, the Fallen Heart Flame, though radiating terrifying energy fluctuations, showed no intention to attack.
Feeling the flame's lock on him, Mo Yu sensed a chill run through his body, but as the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder and Flash Void Breaking Thunder surged forth, the chill was instantly dispelled.
Noticing the terrifying thunder power around Mo Yu, the ferocious Fallen Heart Flame hesitated briefly and instinctively retreated a meter. Simultaneously, a hint of human-like caution flashed in its triangular pupils.
If anyone else had seen this, they would have been utterly astonished.
The mighty Heavenly Flame, a force the entire Jia Nan Academy approached with great caution, was intimidated by a young student—a truly unbelievable sight.
Seeing the wary expression in the Fallen Heart Flame's eyes, Mo Yu was momentarily taken aback, then smirked knowingly.
The previous clash between his thunder power and the Fallen Heart Flame's essence flame had shown the flame the fearsome power of his thunder, a force on par with a Heavenly Flame.
"Since that's the case, farewell. Your destined one should be arriving soon."
Noticing that the Fallen Heart Flame wasn't stopping him, and sensing Elder Su Qian's aura approaching swiftly, Mo Yu did not hesitate. Taking advantage of the disruption in the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower caused by the Fallen Heart Flame breaking free, he quickly summoned his Flash Void Breaking Thunder.
"Spatial Traverse!"
With a low shout, Mo Yu activated the Flash Void Breaking Thunder, emitting a faint ripple of void energy. As the void energy enveloped his body, the young man vanished from sight.
Just seconds after Mo Yu disappeared, Su Qian and eleven of the academy's top students arrived at the lowest level.
Frowning as he glanced in the direction Mo Yu had left, Su Qian sensed the sudden disappearance of spatial energy.
"A Heavenly Flame riot, spatial energy... could a Dou Zong expert have entered the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower? Who could it be?"
Beside him, Zi Yan's dark eyes blinked. Sensing the familiar aura, and recalling someone she hadn't seen in a long time, a knowing gleam flashed in her eyes, followed by a mischievous smile.
"Hisss!"
The Fallen Heart Flame soon noticed Su Qian and the others' arrival. Seeing Su Qian's familiar face, the flame let out a terrifying roar that echoed through the entire Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
While it hesitated to provoke Mo Yu, Su Qian, its old adversary, would be shown no mercy by the Fallen Heart Flame.
As the soundwave spread, the magma world seemed to explode with continuous booming noises as lava surged and flames erupted wildly.
At this moment, Su Qian and the others quickly noticed the formidable being, their faces changing drastically.
The Heavenly Flame, a destructive force capable of wreaking havoc on the continent, was a threat before which even a Dou Zong would seem insignificant.
While the others were all shocked, Xiao Yan, standing at the back, looked at the Fallen Heart Flame with a glint in his dark eyes, as if he was staring at a delectable feast.
Once again, a sharp and intense soundwave burst forth. The enormous fire serpent smacked the magma surface with its body, launching its massive, nearly twenty-to-thirty-meter-long form upward like an invisible lightning bolt, trailing scalding heat and ferocious energy as it shot up the deep tunnel!
"Damn it, this beast is trying to break the seal!"
Seeing the serpent's actions, Su Qian's expression changed. Tapping his toes on the edge, he quickly withdrew from the energy shield's boundaries.
With a sharp motion of his hand, he formed a seal, causing a multi-colored energy barrier to rise and seal the tunnel entrance firmly!
As the seal was completed, a thunderous voice erupted from Su Qian, echoing across the entire Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower and throughout the Inner Academy's skies.
"All elders, head to the tower immediately! All students, retreat at least a hundred meters from the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower!"
Hearing the thunderous command in the sky, the entire Inner Academy fell into absolute silence.
While the order reverberated throughout the academy, a silver-eyed young man suddenly appeared in a secluded corner outside the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, following a ripple of spatial energy.
The sunlight shone on the youth's handsome face, and under its rays, his silver eyes looked even more bewitching and mysterious. This was none other than Mo Yu, who had been cultivating at the tower's depths for over a month.
Feeling the warm sunlight, Mo Yu stretched lazily, relishing the return to life above ground after nearly two months of darkness.
Just as he finished stretching, he heard Su Qian's shocked voice. A smirk tugged at the corner of Mo Yu's lips.
The great event that would sever ties between the Jia Nan Academy and the Black-Corner Region was finally beginning.
If nothing deviated from the original course, the Fallen Heart Flame would soon be resealed by the academy's high-ranking members. However, the appearance of 'Medicine Emperor' Han Feng would change everything.
And Mo Yu planned to be ready.
For his next goal was to become the King of the Black-Corner Region!
The energy feedback from the Vermilion Burning Sky Thunder had propelled Mo Yu directly to the five-star Dou Wang level, but it was clear that without the assistance of thunder energy, his cultivation pace would now slow down significantly.
Mo Yu had anticipated this situation, but considering the immense changes that would soon engulf the continent, he knew he needed a way to compensate for it. He couldn't allow his cultivation speed to stagnate.
Otherwise, if in two years even Xiao Yan broke through to the peak of Dou Wang or even to Dou Huang, while he himself remained stuck at Dou Wang, wouldn't that be embarrassing? The only way to compensate, of course, was to find a massive amount of cultivation resources to replace the energy of the Thunder Soul.
And where else could he find a better source of cultivation resources than the Black-Corner Region, the most chaotic area on the continent? Although it was bloodstained and lawless, it was also one of the most resource-rich places.
Powerful figures from across the continent often came here to trade illicit goods; in the original story, even the Wind-Lightning Pavilion's top-ranked dou technique, Three Thousand Lightning Movement, was acquired by Xiao Yan here, proving the abundance of resources in the Black-Corner Region.
If Mo Yu wanted a vast amount of cultivation resources, there was no better place than here.
If he could unite the Black-Corner Region under his command and with abundant resources, Mo Yu was confident he could break through to Dou Zong within three to five years! With the strength of a Dou Zong, he'd be far more prepared to venture into Central Plains.
But to dominate the Black-Corner Region and take the throne as its ruler, the Jia Nan Academy would undoubtedly play a pivotal role.
As the most powerful force in the region, Mo Yu was fully aware of the academy's deep reserves. The Grand Elder, Su Qian, was only the strongest openly known figure.
No matter how ambitious he was, Mo Yu couldn't ignore Jia Nan Academy's stance. After all, how could the academy tolerate anyone's attempts to unify the Black-Corner Region?
Jia Nan Academy might seem indifferent to worldly affairs, but it wasn't foolish. There was no way it would allow someone to unite the Black-Corner Region under a single rule. Mo Yu thus hoped to witness a rift between the academy and the region. Only in such a scenario would Jia Nan Academy support an "insider" like himself to bring order and unity to the Black-Corner Region.
As Mo Yu considered this, inside the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, Xiao Yan and the other students had been evacuated, and a dozen high-ranking elders with dou qi wings took flight, rushing to help Su Qian seal the violent Fallen Heart Flame.
Even the Deputy Dean and other elders of the Outer Academy had arrived, standing alongside Su Qian with grave expressions, their gazes locked on the raging Fallen Heart Flame.
"Boom!"
A surge of blood-red magma suddenly erupted from the depths below, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it slammed against the radiant, multicolored energy barrier. A low rumbling echoed throughout the lower levels of the tower.
In that instant, tiny cracks began to spread across the energy barrier, until, with a crisp shattering sound, it burst open!
As the pillar of blood-red magma spewed forth, a fierce, cylindrical energy barrier once again surged up around the deep pit, blocking the magma from splashing in all directions.
Faced with the overwhelming power of the Fallen Heart Flame, the academy's top officials unleashed their trump cards, layer upon layer of seals under Grand Elder Su Qian's command, pressing down upon the flame.
"Seal!"
As Su Qian's shout rang out, a vast energy fluctuation emerged from the ceiling's deep cavity, and a multicolored energy barrier took shape in an instant.
…
Su Qian's gaze locked tightly onto the invisible fire python struggling within the energy net below. The massive dou qi sphere in his hands grew increasingly radiant. His robes, unaffected by the wind, billowed like an inflated balloon.
The dou qi sphere in his hands gathered to the point that it shone like a brilliant sun. At the next moment, the sphere trembled violently—a sign it had reached its limit.
Feeling the trembling in his hands, a cold gleam flashed in Su Qian's eyes as he called out in a voice like thunder that echoed through the Inner Academy.
"Beast, get back where you belong!"
With a fierce downward push of his hands, the massive dou qi sphere sliced through space and soundlessly merged into the energy net, crashing heavily onto the invisible fire python's massive body.
"Skreee!"
Struck by such a powerful blow, even the invisible fire python let out a sharp, shrill screech as the force of the explosion drove it hard into the ground, until finally, under Su Qian's control, it was flung back into the shattered Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.
"Seal!"
As the python was once again thrown into the tower, a flicker of joy crossed Su Qian's face. Forming a hand seal, he shouted in a booming voice.
At his command, a faint black energy film emerged from the shattered tip of the tower, enclosing it tightly.
"Yes!"
Watching the Fallen Heart Flame once again sealed within the tower, countless students erupted in a thunderous cheer.
Seeing this, Mo Yu raised an eyebrow. As expected of the Black-Corner Region's strongest power, Jia Nan Academy had mobilized over twenty Dou Wangs and Dou Huangs, showcasing its unfathomable reserves.
If the academy's hidden experts were also counted, it could rival even the elite powers of Central Plains.
"But even with the Black-Corner Region surrounding Jia Nan Academy, these guys are like cats drawn to the smell of fish. Even Jia Nan Academy can't keep them under control."
Mo Yu's silver eyes narrowed as he glanced at the clear sky. The Inner Academy was cloaked in a spatial mirror, but to someone with Mo Yu's powerful soul force, it offered little concealment.
Above, Su Qian let out a sigh of relief as he looked at the Fallen Heart Flame, now sealed once again. Hearing the distant cheers, a faint smile appeared on his face. Yet just as it surfaced, it froze in response to a sudden chuckle.
"Heh, who would've thought the Inner Academy was hiding such a strange flame, Grand Elder Su Qian. You kept this well hidden."
As the chuckling faded, a ripple spread through the clear sky. Soon, a group of figures strode forward, hovering in midair, their bloodthirsty aura blanketing the Inner Academy.
Seeing the figure at the forefront, Mo Yu's lips curved into a smirk.
"So, this is the renowned Medicine Emperor..."
