Chapter 408, Eight Directional Flame Sealing Array

Translator: Silavin

 

As Qin Yichen was about to give a warning, he discovered that those few powerful experts had already been burned into nothingness. Immediately, the corner of his mouth could not help but twitch, and the speed of his footsteps also increased.

 

However, compared to the orange flames, Qin Yichen’s speed was undoubtedly a bit slow.

 

*Boom!* After just a quarter of an hour, Qin Yichen’s figure finally had nowhere to hide and was caught up by this orange flame, instantly becoming enveloped within it.

 

*Sizzle sizzle…* The moment he was wrapped in the orange flames, even with the protection of his Yuan Energy, the clothes on his body still got burned away.

 

Even the Yuan Energy on the surface of his body got ignited, and the orange flame showed signs of burning into his body through his pores.

 

[Damn it! Will I perish here, without anyone knowing!?]

 

Wrapped in orange flames, Qin Yichen felt the Yuan Energy inside his body becoming agitated. What was more deadly was that his Spiritual Body also felt the scorching sensation.

 

The Orange Demonic Heart Flame not only burned off Yuan Energy, but also Spiritual Energy!

 

At this moment, Qin Yichen felt death quickly approaching!

 

[If neither Yuan Energy nor Spiritual Energy can help, then I can only rely on you!] Qin Yichen’s thoughts were racing, and finally, he could only place his hope on the Devouring brought by the Gluttonous Taotie Martial Soul!

 

[Devour it all for me!] Qin Yichen roared in his heart, his gaze extremely solemn. He withdrew all his Yuan Energy and Spiritual Energy back into his body, fully activating the Taotie Martial Soul.

 

Having just subdued the Taotie Martial Soul, Qin Yichen was still somewhat wary in his heart. After all, this legendary Demonic Beast was the embodiment of greed. He could not guarantee that when he was not paying attention, the Taotie Martial Soul would not ambush him, or even usurp him as the host, replacing his consciousness.

 

However, at this point, he was in no position to consider such things.

 

*Hum…* As Qin Yichen fully activated it, in his Dantian, a pair of silver eyes seemed to appear.

 

Within these silver eyes, there was an endless ferocious aura.

 

Qin Yichen also sensed the vicious intent of the Taotie Martial Soul. Immediately, he coldly snorted, and as he channelled his Yuan Energy, a beam of light emitted from the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl.

 

*Boom!* An illusory Dragon manifestation appeared within the Heaven Earth Spirit Pearl. Those extremely proud Dragon Eyes seemed to be looking at the clown, quietly staring at the Taotie Martial Soul.

 

*Roar!* In Qin Yichen’s heart, there seemed to be a reluctant voice sounding out, and then those silver beast eyes slowly subsided.

 

However, although the Taotie Martial Soul was unwilling, a devouring power countless times more fierce than before suddenly surged out from Qin Yichen’s body.

 

*Whoosh!* Under this tyrannical and unparalleled power, the nightmare of countless Martial Kings… the Orange Demonic Heart Flame, actually entered Qin Yichen’s body.

 

However, it did not cause any harm to Qin Yichen’s body. It was entirely devoured into the Taotie Martial Soul.

 

In just the time it takes for two breaths, the orange flames that had enveloped Qin Yichen disappeared without a trace. Even the sea of fire within ten meters around him was also devoured until nothing was left.

 

*Huff huff…* Sensing that the crisis was over, Qin Yichen finally heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

 

At this moment, he had no time to check the situation inside his body, but the scene that had been cleared out in the sea of fire caused his pupils to suddenly contract.

 

“That is…” Looking at what was beneath the sea of fire, Qin Yichen’s eyes narrowed slightly. Below him, there seemed to be something like a stone tablet.

 

Qin Yichen frowned, took out a set of clothes from his Space Ring and put them on, then flew down. He still could not suppress the curiosity in his heart.

 

As he flew down, Qin Yichen found that the temperature below the sea of fire was greater, but he could still withstand these temperatures.

 

After just a moment, when he arrived below, his eyes were shocked.

 

In front of him, a crimson cauldron about one meter in size was floating in midair. A scorching wave was continuously being released from it, as if this sea of flames had all been released by it.

 

On the four sides of this cauldron, mysterious Divine Runes were flowing. When he saw these Divine Runes, Qin Yichen’s expression could not help but turn solemn.

 

He had seen these Divine Runes in an ancient record before. These were Divine Runes of a powerful seal.

 

Combining these Divine Runes with this sea of fire, Qin Yichen finally understood that this was actually an ancient Array, and moreover, it was a rather advanced Array – the Eight Directional Flame Sealing Array!

 

This Array could not have been deployed by an ordinary person. Even experts who surpassed the Martial King Realm did not have the ability to set up such an Array!

 

[An Eight Directional Flame Sealing Array! An Eight Directional Cauldron! Could this be the core of this Array?] Qin Yichen took a deep breath. Looking at the cauldron, his expression became grave. After knowing about this Array, he realised just how daring he had been.

 

Even experts who surpassed the Martial King Realm would not dare to enter this Array, yet they, a mere group of Martial Kings and those at the Spirit Realm, had ignorantly ventured in here.

 

To have survived until now, apart from luck, Qin Yichen truly did not know what else to say.

 

[But most importantly, why would such an Array exist in this region? Just what is sealed beneath this Array?]

 

[There also seems to be some defects…] On this cauldron, many places with Divine Runes were dim. Even on one side of the cauldron’s surface, there were several visible cracks.

 

It looked as unsightly as a Pill Furnace that had exploded during Alchemy.

 

Qin Yichen knew that this cauldron could represented what was happening to the Array… This also explained why Martial Kings, who had entered this sea of fire, were not immediately burned to ashes.

 

[If the disturbance in Heaven’s Destiny Forbidden Area earlier was caused by a Demonic Beast suppressed under this Array, then perhaps this Array won’t be able to hold it down for much longer…] Qin Yichen’s expression was somewhat grave. If what was being suppressed was truly a Demonic Beast, then when the Array broke, this region would definitely face a huge catastrophe.

 

*Boom!* Just as Qin Yichen was pondering, he suddenly felt the sea of fire violently tremble.

 

[Have Qiu Jizhuo and the others already approached the core!?] Qin Yichen frowned, then waved his sleeve, collecting the cauldron before him into his ring.

 

This cauldron was part of the Eight Directional Flame Sealing Array – not the core of the whole Array. However, as long as it did not leave the range of the Array, the Array would not collapse due to the disappearance of the cauldron.

 

After collecting the cauldron, Qin Yichen did not linger, quickly flying towards the end of the sea of fire.
