"Heh, whether or not I'm your match... we'll only know after we fight."
With that said, Tian Huo Zun Zhe turned around and looked at the two of them. "Hand me your flames. I'm going to use the Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique."
"No problem."
Hearing his words, Lin Feng and Xiao Yixian quickly summoned the Heavenly Flames from within their bodies.
With a gentle flick, three Heavenly Flames shot across the air and were immediately caught by Tian Huo Zun Zhe in front of him.
After taking them in, Lin Feng also retrieved the Rank 8 beast flame and the half-extracted seed of the Life Transforming Flame he had.
"Elder Yao, take these too."
As he spoke, Lin Feng tossed the two flames toward him as well.
Now holding five flames in total, Tian Huo Zun Zhe's confidence surged instantly.
Using three Heavenly Flames to activate the Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique—this was the first time he had ever attempted such a feat since he acquired this fire control technique.
After all, even across the vast Central Plains, people who could gather three Heavenly Flames were as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
"Three Heavenly Flames?!"
Seeing that Tian Huo Zun Zhe—also a soul body—held three flames radiating with that uniquely wild aura of Heavenly Flames, Lue Feng Zun Zhe's eyes instantly flashed with intense greed.
After all, Heavenly Flames were highly coveted by both fire-element cultivators and alchemists alike.
Their price was astronomically high, and they were notoriously hard to find.
If word got out that someone was trading a Heavenly Flame, countless people would surely show up bearing all kinds of rare treasures, begging to make the deal.
Sensing that greedy gaze directed at him, a cold smirk crept onto Tian Huo Zun Zhe's lips.
Then he took a deep breath, changed his hand seals—the five flames in front of him suddenly surged violently, sweeping out like a tidal wave and distorting the surrounding space.
The three Heavenly Flames rapidly split apart and began to converge once more, vaguely taking on the form of ferocious beasts.
Within Tian Huo Zun Zhe's eyes, reflected by the myriad shadows of blazing fire, burned a fiery passion.
This flame control technique had been a fortunate acquisition of his. However, due to limitations with the required flames, even in his peak days, he had never been able to unleash the true might of the Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique to this level.
Now, suspended in the sky were three Heavenly Flames, one rank-8 beast flame, and one strange Life Transforming Flame.
The terrifying heat they radiated instantly turned the surrounding atmosphere dry and scorching.
Even those watching from afar in the sky began to feel parched, their lips dry and tongues sticking.
Yet, no one paid attention to their discomfort.
All eyes were wide in shock, focused on Tian Huo Zun Zhe's figure in the distance.
While their strength might not be particularly high, they were still well aware of the fame surrounding Heavenly Flames—these treasures born of heaven and earth were incredibly rare.
No one expected to see four different Heavenly Flames today, right here in this ancient Dou Zun Ruins site!
Four Heavenly Flames—just that alone was already an overwhelmingly shocking number.
Ninety-nine percent of people in the Central Plains would never see that many in their entire lifetime!
"Five Ring Flame Expelling Technique!"
While everyone was still frozen in astonishment, Tian Huo Zun Zhe had already arranged the five flames to float steadily in the sky.
The five balls of fire formed a precise circular ring, blazing with searing heat that distorted the space around them.
"Wolf Spirit, Form!"
Gazing at the vividly colored flames above him, Tian Huo Zun Zhe suddenly let out a sharp shout.
The wolf-shaped fire spirit formed from the Rank 8 beast flame instantly appeared in the sky.
"Leopard Spirit, form!"
"Lion Spirit, form!"
"Tiger Spirit, form!"
In one breath, Tian Huo Zun Zhe condensed four different fire spirits. But as he did so, his already illusory soul body became even more transparent, more than half faded.
Clearly, forming four fire spirits at once placed an enormous strain on his soul power!
Feeling the rapid drain of his spiritual energy, Tian Huo Zun Zhe gritted his teeth.
He knew full well—if he didn't defeat this Lue Feng Zun Zhe today, even his remaining soul fragment wouldn't survive.
Let alone resurrection, even surviving in this spirit form would be impossible.
With that, his hand seals changed again, and he shouted: "Dragon Spirit, form!"
As his shout rang out, the final flame floating in the sky—the Core Flame of the Green Lotus began to wriggle violently.
In just an instant, a dragon fire spirit, large as a small mountain, emerged high in the air.
"Five Ring Flame Expelling Formation!"
With all five fire spirits gathered, a horrifying wave of heat instantly surged through the skies.
Even the pristine white clouds far above were visibly thinning, scorched and evaporated by the intense heat.
Below Tian Huo Zun Zhe, trees withered at a rate visible to the naked eye—then, with a soft "pop," exploded into clouds of ash.
The five massive fire spirits formed a strange, arcane formation in the sky. Tian Huo Zun Zhe's illusory form floated precisely at its center—at the formation's core.
"Five Ring Flame Expelling Disk!"
With a loud shout, all five enormous fire spirits lifted their heads and howled to the heavens, then suddenly began to rotate at high speed.
As they spun, the space around Tian Huo Zun Zhe actually began to fracture.
Cracks of pitch-black void continuously tore open across the sky.
Whoosh—whoosh—
As the spinning accelerated, the five spirits fused into a gigantic five-colored flaming disk, hundreds of meters in diameter.
The blazing disc hovered above Tian Huo Zun Zhe's head, spinning rapidly and producing deafening sonic booms.
A terrifying aura of energy surged out in waves.
Witnessing this scene, the once-dismissive expression on Lue Feng Zun Zhe's face finally turned serious.
He had seen this Dou Technique used before and hadn't paid it much mind.
But now, he hadn't expected that the technique could perfectly fuse three Heavenly Flames, on top of a high-quality beast flame and that unusual pale fire.
With all these factors stacked together, the power of this Dou Technique likely already surpassed most High-Grade Earth Class Dou Techniques!
After the initial shock passed, Lue Feng Zun Zhe narrowed his eyes and let out a cold snort.
"Hmph. You may have a clever little technique, but this lord didn't dominate the Western Regions of the Central Plains for centuries just by standing around looking pretty."
With that, he gave the earthy yellow longsword in his hand a deft spin, sending it into a beautiful arc.
The Dou Qi around him suddenly turned violent.
Massive surges of green Dou Qi began gathering around his body, converging with precision.
Under the guidance of the faint yellow flame on his blade, a green-yellow Dou Qi tornado suddenly formed.
In the next instant, Lue Feng Zun Zhe swung his flaming longsword, and his illusory body abruptly faded—his true form was already charging toward Tian Huo Zun Zhe at blinding speed.
That movement—so fast that even Lin Feng, with his Heavenly Phoenix Bone Wings and Three Thousand Lightning Movement used together, wouldn't come close to matching it!
Seeing this, Tian Huo Zun Zhe, Lin Feng, and Xiao Yixian's pupils shrank sharply.
Clearly, none of them had expected Lue Feng Zun Zhe to possess such terrifying speed.
