Chapter 272: Heavenly Flames Engulf the Sky, Bowing to the 'Yan Sovereign'
A torrential downpour of violent energy crashed down from above.
Even the mighty Qian Bai Elders and Su Qian were knocked off balance, their bodies thrown downward.
As for the others, the Dou Huang experts flapping their wings mid air suddenly looked like fallen angels with broken wings, plummeting helplessly.
Upon impact with the ground, blood trickled from their lips.
It was clear they had all been injured by that single energy shockwave.
Even the three Dou Zong elders wiped the blood from their mouths in disbelief as they looked up.
The sky was eerily strange.
A vast sea of four colored flames churned like thick clouds, blocking out the sun.
The violent flames roiled and surged like ocean waves, creating endless ripples across the sky.
As far as the eye could see, the entire sky was engulfed in Wu Tian's four colored Heavenly Flame.
This… was truly a scene of heaven burning destruction.
Everyone beneath this sky was paralyzed by shock.
It was as if they were witnessing the end of the world, a horrifying test of their very souls.
And yet…
Despite their terror, curiosity crept into their minds.
Why hadn't that terrifying energy rained down upon them?
Su Qian and the Qian Bai Elders looked up, gazing at Wu Tian, who hovered above them like a sovereign ruler overlooking his domain.
They felt an overwhelming sense of dread.
Not because of anything else just the fact that the energy that had wounded them was merely an aftershock.
The real attack the flames themselves hadn't even descended yet.
If the full force of that firestorm came crashing down…
Forget about the academy's students even they wouldn't survive.
This was far beyond terrifying.
Was this really an attack that a Dou Zong could unleash?
Even an average Dou Zun wouldn't be able to do this!
A Dou Zun could tear through space and traverse dimensions freely, but even they couldn't shatter an entire sky!
This was the entire horizon within their vision so vast it was incomprehensible.
It didn't just cover Jia Nan Academy.
The surrounding forests and mountains were also completely enveloped.
If this attack truly landed, it would bring nothing but annihilation.
And yet, despite the sheer destruction it promised, the flames hovered there, suspended in mid air after shattering space itself.
The level of control needed to restrain such power was mind boggling.
Just how strong was Wu Tian?
Not to mention the terrifying flames above, just the energy shockwave had devastated them.
And yet, the Dou Huangs from Cai Lin's faction hadn't suffered a single scratch.
The Ten Great Kings of the Black Corner Region were completely dumbfounded.
Now, they truly understood just how terrifying their so called "Guardian Elder" was.
They were immensely grateful they hadn't rebelled like the Gold and Silver Elders.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be standing here, witnessing this overwhelming, world shattering power.
Following someone this terrifying… how could they not become stronger?
They would proudly embrace their roles as loyal subordinates!
Han Feng, on the other hand, was trembling in excitement.
"Screw the Soul Hall!"
No matter how powerful they were, could they compare to his master?
This scene alone the very sky burning was something even the Soul Hall's Guardians couldn't achieve, no matter how hard they tried!
Of course, while Han Feng was thrilled, the Soul Hall's Guardians if they saw this would be utterly terrified.
That was his confidence.
Hadn't he just witnessed the supposedly invincible Qian Bai Elders get utterly crushed?
At this moment, the Qian Bai Elders looked completely defeated, their faces as grim as Su Qian's.
Just one energy shockwave had left them helpless.
The flames above?
They didn't even want to think about it.
Fortunately, Wu Tian had no intention of truly destroying Jia Nan Academy.
Fortunately, Hu Qian, that precious granddaughter of theirs, was here.
Fortunately, there were many students who called him "Boss."
Otherwise, Jia Nan Academy would have been wiped off the map today.
Wu Tian looked down, shrugging in mild amusement before his gaze turned cold and domineering.
"I may not be able to mend shattered space, but I can control my Heavenly Flame!"
Everyone was shaken to the core.
At this point, who wouldn't believe him?
Doubt him, and they'd be the next ones to burn.
Gu Xun'er's golden eyes sparkled as she gazed at her husband, Wu Tian.
Within her pupils flickered the flames of the Golden Emperor Burning Flame.
If there was a flame that could truly "burn the heavens," it was hers.
But her strength was still far from enough.
She could feel the devouring essence within Wu Tian's raging flames.
She had once thought that, despite Wu Tian's fusion of multiple flames, her Golden Emperor Burning Flame was superior.
But now, looking at this apocalyptic scene, she realized if she fully mastered her flame, this would be the result.
Wu Tian's four colored Heavenly Flame was no weaker than her Golden Emperor Burning Flame!
Before everyone's eyes, Wu Tian released Medusa's hand and stretched out his arms.
His deep, piercing gaze shimmered with four hues, and the surrounding energy reacted as if being sucked into his very being.
The sheer spectacle of it all was earth shattering.
The destructive energy capable of annihilating the heavens and earth… was being effortlessly absorbed into his body.
Within mere minutes, the raging inferno in the sky vanished completely.
And the shattered space
Repaired itself alongside the disappearance of the flames.
Restoring space itself?!
Once again, the crowd was left in utter disbelief.
Was Wu Tian still hiding his true strength?
Had he already reached the Dou Zun realm?
Had he been toying with them all along?
Fine.
If it were anyone else, it'd be impossible.
But for Wu Tian?
Absolutely possible.
No one knew this better than Liu Qing.
Back then, this "almighty Boss" had disguised himself as a weakling only to slap his face mercilessly.
He had nearly died of shock.
Lin Xiuya, Liu Qing, and Yan Hao all felt their perspectives shift dramatically.
No wonder Wu Tian had said they could never compare to him.
What was the point of competing anymore?
They weren't even on the same level.
Just a while ago, they were only Dou Kings.
Wu Tian had already surpassed Dou Huang and reached Dou Zong…
No.
He didn't seem like a Dou Zong anymore.
Was he a Dou Zun?
Su Qian and the Qian Bai Elders exchanged bitter smiles before bending at the waist in a deep bow.
"Su Qian, Qian Mu, Bai Lie pay respects to the 'Yan Sovereign'!"
Shock!
Three Dou Zong powerhouses, humbling themselves before one man.
Clearly, they now believed Wu Tian's words.
There was a very real possibility that their Headmaster, Mang Tian Chi, was truly Wu Tian's subordinate!
Though this idea was difficult to accept, Dou Qi Continent followed one rule power was everything.
And Wu Tian alone could crush all three of them.
What reason did they have to resist?
Even if they were wounded, even if they were spitting blood, they could only swallow their pride.
Even their once proud backs had no choice but to bow.
Because strength deserved respect.
And Wu Tian… was a Dou Zun.
"Paying respects to the 'Yan Sovereign'!"
At that moment, every powerhouse from the Black Corner Region, every inner and outer academy elder, every teacher, and every student of Jia Nan Academy bowed in unison.
Wu Tian looked down at the kneeling crowd, a faint smile playing at his lips.
