Chapter 286, Heavenly Flame City Takeover

Translator: Silavin

 

“Because when the Heavenly Flame consumes the whole city, Flame Demons in the Extreme Flame Zone are at their weakest…” Lao Xiong’s following words made Qin Yichen’s eyes immediately narrow.

 

[Why would the Flame Demons enter a period of weakness when the Heavenly Flame is at its most violent?]

 

“Only during this time can we hunt Flame Demon Commanders. Otherwise, even our Group Leader would mpt be a match for a Flame Demon Commander.”

 

At this point, Lao Xiong said more, but Qin Yichen was already not listening. His attention was completely focused on contemplating the Heavenly Flame City Takeover.

 

“Heavenly Flame City Takeover…” Qin Yichen muttered softly, unconsciously licking his dry lips, his gaze turning again toward the Extreme Flame Zone.

 

At this moment, the distant sky seemed to be burning, and even from far away, one could feel the incredibly scorching air rushing toward them.

 

“What exactly is happening there?”

 

Qin Yichen believed the Heavenly Flame City Takeover would not happen without reason, and the Flame Demons could not have weakened without cause.

 

His purpose for coming here was not just to collect Flame Orbs, of course. He really wanted to know what that object falling from the sky was.

 

Without doubt, with his current strength, he definitely could not reach the core area of the Extreme Flame Zone.

 

But now, he was getting restless.

 

If he did not take this chance to explore, once the Heavenly Flame City Takeover passed, he would have even less opportunity. At worse, he would need to wait for another year.

 

“Lao Xiong, how long does this Heavenly Flame City Takeover usually last?” He asked Lao Xiong beside him.

 

“Usually about three days.” Lao Xiong now held him in great reverence and answered whatever Qin Yichen asked.

 

“Three days.” Qin Yichen soon returned to his room and began preparing the necessary items.

 

At the same time, the Heavenly Flame City Takeover began quickly…

 

*Rumble…* From deep within the Extreme Flame Zone came sounds like thunder, then that towering Heavenly Flame suddenly rolled out like waves, violently sweeping outward in all directions.

 

In an instant, the entire Flame City was enveloped by Heavenly Flame.

 

This was why those weaker had to evacuate.

 

However, as the Heavenly Flame City Takeover began, many Forces emerged and walked toward the Extreme Flame Zone.

 

Every team, even the weakest, was led by someone at least at Fully Accomplished Spirit Realm.

 

Martial King realm experts were also numerous as well.

 

Clearly, during this Heavenly Flame City Takeover, their targets were no longer ordinary Flame Demons, but Flame Demon Commanders.

 

Moreover, the reason so many people came this time was because they had Qin Yichen’s Flame Repellent Pills.

 

This was also why so many people were willing to exchange a Flame Orb for Flame Repellent Pills.

 

During the Heavenly Flame City Takeover, using Flame Repellent Pills was absolutely worthwhile.

 

*Creak.* Qin Yichen also walked out from his room. He wore a black cloak that covered his entire body.

 

“Little Brother, you’re heading out?” Just then, the Storm Mercenary Group, led by Group Leader Sha Wenbao, also came out from the hall and encountered him.

 

As for Che Liangzheng, he was not present, as his injuries had not fully healed.

 

“Group Leader Sha?” Seeing Sha Wenbao, Qin Yichen stopped and nodded.

 

“Little Brother, are you also going to the Extreme Flame Zone?” Sha Wenbao’s eyes were full of confusion, as were those of the Storm Mercenary Group members.

 

Qin Yichen could already exchange numerous Flame Orbs by refining pills, so why would he risk going into the Extreme Flame Zone?

 

Moreover…

 

“Eh?” At this moment, the Storm Mercenary Group members realised that unknowingly, Qin Yichen had already reached the Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm.

 

This surprised them.

 

Especially Lao Xiong and the others – when they met Qin Yichen at Spirit Fire Pavilion, they had clearly sensed that he was only a third level Peak Martial Grandmaster.

 

Surprising as it was, perhaps Qin Yichen had concealed his cultivation level?

 

However, even at the Partially Accomplished Spirit Realm, going to the Extreme Flame Zone alone was extremely dangerous.

 

“Little Brother, if you want to experience the Extreme Flame Zone, you can come with us. That way, we can look after each other.” Sha Wenbao suggested. He and Che Liangzheng were life-and-death Sworn Brothers. Qin Yichen saving Che Liangzheng was equivalent to saving him. He naturally could not see their saviour risk his life like this.

 

“Well…” Qin Yichen hesitated.

 

He wanted to go to the core area of the Extreme Flame Zone, and he did not understand the situation there. If he rashly brought the Storm Mercenary Group there, with the risks involved, it could potentially lead to the entire Mercenary Group’s annihilation.

 

“Group Leader Sha, you all go about your business. I’m just going to look around the outer area and return. You don’t need to worry about me.”

 

He declined Sha Wenbao’s suggestion.

 

Although having the Storm Mercenary Group members with him would make it safer for him, he could not bare the guilt of leading the entire Storm Mercenary Group into danger.

 

“Alright, but Little Brother, you must promise you will not go too deep. The Extreme Flame Zone is very dangerous.” After warning him again, Sha Wenbao led the Storm Mercenary Group members away.

 

*Whew…* Qin Yichen exhaled, then turned his gaze to the scarlet horizon.

 

There, the Heavenly Flame was spreading, seeming to burn the entire sky as if it would split. Like tidal waves, it swept everything away. For thousands of kilometres around, not a single blade of grass remained.

 

Using his Falling Technique, Qin Yichen quickly arrived at the edge of the Extreme Flame Zone.

Here, it was even more scorching. Even after taking a Flame Repellent Pill, he could still feel the bone-searing heat, like being roasted over fire.

 

“Brother Haotian, are we really going in?”

 

Suddenly a voice caught Qin Yichen’s attention. He quickly turned around and saw two figures standing in the tide of Heavenly Flame.

 

However, neither seemed affected, as if there was a barrier in front of them blocking the Heavenly Flame.

 

Qin Yichen’s gaze fell directly on the white figure, Feng Qianxue. She still wore a white dress. Standing in the scarlet tide, she looked ever so radiant.

 

Seeing Feng Qianxue again, Qin Yichen still could not control his feelings, almost wanting to rush over, but he managed to hold himself back.

 

He was not surprised to see Feng Qianxue here.

 

After all, she possessed the Fire Phoenix Martial Soul. The Heavenly Flame in this Extreme Flame Zone most likely helps strengthen her Martial Soul.

 

“As long as there’s something inside that can help you, Qianxue, even if it’s a sea of fire, I’ll go.”

Ouyang Haotian maintained his gentlemanly appearance, his words full of romance.

 

“What a coincidence, you two.” At this moment, a very discordant voice suddenly came, drawing their attention.
