Chapter 274: I Sentence You to Three Years in the Chrysanthemum
Venerable Tian Huo's dark eyes locked onto the two elders as he said coldly,
"So, you were the ones who sealed the Fallen Heart Flame? Then I suppose it's time we settle this debt properly!"
"Five Rounds of Leaving Fire!"
"Boom!"
His gaze sharpened, and the magma within the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower roared to life.
With a thunderous explosion at the cave entrance, a flaming beast emerged beside Venerable Tian Huo
A massive fire wolf!
"Awooo !"
Its howl shook the entire space.
But this was only the beginning.
One after another, monstrous fire beasts leapt from the magma cave
A leopard, a lion, a tiger…
And finally, a flood dragon!
A flood dragon, a creature just one step away from becoming a true dragon.
With its emergence, five massive fire beasts now loomed beside Venerable Tian Huo.
The sight of these five elemental monstrosities was utterly terrifying.
The sheer mastery of fire control left the entire audience in awe.
Was this the power of a Dou Zun?!
Even just this technique alone wasn't something ordinary people could execute.
And if he was called "Venerable Tian Huo," then didn't that mean this technique was his own creation?
The moment the five enormous flame beasts appeared, the entire battlefield froze in shock.
Though they had already witnessed terrifying power today, this was on another level.
They could still feel fear, but they had grown somewhat numb to it.
Yet the shock in their hearts was no less than before.
This was a Dou Zun!
Even if he was only a remnant soul, the techniques he wielded were beyond anything a Dou Zong could achieve.
Especially since… these five flame beasts had yet to unleash their full power.
"Five Rounds of Leaving Fire Formation!"
"Leaving Fire Burns the Heavens!"
With a deafening roar, Venerable Tian Huo activated his formation, unleashing a devastating technique.
Wu Tian, watching from the side, shook his head helplessly.
Yao Tian Huo was truly angry.
These people had dared to trample all over his dignity how could a Dou Zun not care about his pride?
But…
He seemed too angry, so much so that he focused more on making a flashy display rather than the actual power behind it.
Big flashy effects looked impressive, but they were often all style and no substance.
Right now, Venerable Tian Huo was all about appearance completely ignoring the core essence of his technique.
In a way…
It was like trying too hard to "perform," and losing real impact in the process.
The Five Rounds of Leaving Fire technique created fire spirits within the beasts, enhancing the power of the Five Rounds of Leaving Fire Formation.
At its peak, the Leaving Fire Burns the Heavens move could rival even Heaven rank battle techniques.
And if all five flames were Heavenly Flames, then its power would surpass even Heaven rank techniques.
But the version Yao Tian Huo had just used?
It was nothing but an empty show of force.
Of course, only Wu Tian could tell.
Because he himself wielded Heavenly Flames.
The others had no clue.
All they saw was a seemingly almighty remnant soul still capable of unleashing such an overwhelming technique.
It was insanity.
This was why Dou Zun powerhouses were terrifying even as remnants, they were untouchable.
It was just like their own Headmaster, Xiao Tian Chi.
Whenever they saw him, their legs went weak, and they just collapsed to the ground…
But Venerable Tian Huo was a smart man.
He was only acting this aggressive to further highlight the majesty of his master.
He knew his technique was all flash and no substance.
But he unleashed it anyway.
Back in his prime, he had never fully mastered Five Rounds of Leaving Fire, nor had he ever truly executed Leaving Fire Burns the Heavens.
So why not just put on a show?
As long as it looked scary, that was enough.
Besides, he trusted that his Guardian Elder, Wu Tian, would understand his intent.
This was a flawless act.
And just as he expected, the moment Yao Tian Huo "raged," Wu Tian simply sighed and shook his head before casually waving his sleeve.
A wisp of battle qi drifted through the air, effortlessly dispersing the five massive fire beasts before they could fully form.
The scene, though seemingly gentle, was earth shattering in its impact.
Everyone watching was struck with awe once again, the "Yan Sovereign" had stunned them beyond belief.
With just a flick of his sleeve, he had erased a Dou Zun's most powerful technique.
Was he even human?!
A calm voice rang out from Wu Tian,
"Xiao Tian Huo, I called you out to introduce you to everyone so you could work together in the future. But since you insist on being so aggressive, I sentence you to three more years in the chrysanthemum."
"Do you accept?"
"I accept!"
Venerable Tian Huo bowed respectfully.
Then, in front of everyone's stunned eyes, he transformed into a streak of light and re entered the familiar chrysanthemum.
To outsiders, Yao Tian Huo seemed eager to return.
But the truth?
He had no desire to go back inside.
He was once a proud Dou Zun, and now he was reduced to this… where was the dignity in that?
But honestly?
Having a master like Wu Tian wasn't bad at all.
After all, in that other chrysanthemum…
That place contained true nightmares.
Though Yao Tian Huo pretended not to care, to everyone else, this was one of the most shocking sights they had ever witnessed.
A Dou Zun powerhouse, obediently following orders.
This wasn't just being a subordinate this was servitude!
Like a mere servant!
Unbelievable!
Su Qian, the Qian Bai Elders, and the others were completely petrified.
If even a Dou Zun was this subservient, then Wu Tian himself…
Could it be true?
Was he really their Headmaster Mang Tian Chi's master?!
No at this point, why even call him "Headmaster" anymore?
They should start calling him Xiao Tian Chi instead!
They weren't the only ones stunned
Even the Ten Great Dou Huangs of the Black Corner Region were overwhelmed.
They had once believed that the Cai Lin Pavilion was the strongest faction under Wu Tian.
But now, it was clear his true power and influence were beyond comprehension.
He could casually toss a chrysanthemum and summon a Dou Zun's soul!
Who knew how many more he had?!
Their pride as top fighters had completely crumbled.
Now, they had only one thought left: Obey. Completely obey.
Han Feng, meanwhile, was over the moon.
His master was too godly!
How could the Soul Hall even compare to this?!
Could the Soul Hall make a Dou Zun kneel as a subordinate?!
Absolutely not!
Too damn powerful!
Everyone's eyes locked onto the ever indifferent Wu Tian.
And as the most dazzling figure in the room, Wu Tian simply smiled faintly at Su Qian and said,
"I originally wanted him to help restore the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, but it seems I'll have to do it myself."
His words left the crowd bewildered.
A Dou Zun could repair the tower?
Wait…
Could it be that…
Venerable Tian Huo…
Was also an owner of the Fallen Heart Flame?!
Wu Tian glanced at their dumbfounded faces and nodded.
"You guessed right. He also possesses a Heavenly Flame and it is the Fallen Heart Flame."
"WHAT?!"
"The Fallen Heart Flame?!"
The entire audience widened their eyes in disbelief.
