As Xiao Yan's voice cut through the air, his hand seal instantly solidified. With a firm grasp of his palms, a deep blue flame slowly rose from the center of his hands. This deep blue flame, known as the Sea Demon Flame, was not an extraordinary fire but rather a particularly powerful type of beast fire that Xiao Yan had preserved while gathering various beast flames. It originated from the body of a seven-stage sea beast, and though not comparable to the rare extraordinary fires, it was certainly potent. For now, however, to successfully perform the Five-Phase Separation Fire Technique, this flame was essential. The deep blue flame quickly expanded and began to ripple with an eerie, writhing motion, eventually forming a deep blue fire wolf about ten zhang in size within just a short while. The Wuyuan Liho Method requires five types of flames to coalesce into the spirits of wolf, leopard, lion, tiger, and dragon, forming the Wuyuan Liho Array—its power is extraordinarily terrifying. However, the only slight disappointment lies in the fact that among these five fire spirits, Xiao Yan can only summon three distinct fire spirits, which slightly diminishes the overall strength. Nevertheless, even with this shortfall, the resulting power is sufficient to incinerate seas and boil the heavens. With Xiao Yan's current mastery of fire control, combined with his practice of the Nongyan Technique, he is fully capable of meeting the requirements of the Wu Lun Li Huo Method—the coalescence of the five fire spirits presents no significant challenge for him. Two massive fire wolves stood before him, the fire tigers looming proudly, emitting low, resonant growls toward Tian She and the others. Xiao Yan's actions had thus caused some bewilderment among Tian She and the group, who were uncertain about his intentions. As Tian She and the others remained puzzled, Xiao Yan swiftly changed his hand seals, and gradually, first a jade-green hue, then an intangible color, and finally a dense, silvery-white flame, surged forth from the palms of his hands. With the emergence of the three hetero-flames, the temperature of this realm surged dramatically, and the cold barrier enveloping Ye City began to ripple violently. Fortunately, thanks to a continuous influx of cold energy from numerous disciples of the Ice River Valley, the barrier remained stable without showing signs of fading. Compared to the two flames he had previously mastered, Xiao Yan now possessed a far greater command over these three hetero-flames. As a result, the final coalescence of the three fire spirits required little mental effort from him. Within just a few minutes, the vivid lion, tiger, and dragon fire spirits emerged, born amidst the swirling hetero-flames, and materialized throughout this realm. With the emergence of the five Fire Spirit Beings, the spatial fabric of this realm suddenly surged with intense vibrations. The previously tranquil celestial and terrestrial energies, at that very moment, seemed to be drawn and stirred into a state of remarkable turbulence. The sudden transformations throughout the heavens and earth had naturally sparked astonishment among countless observers. After a moment of silence, a wave of gazes converged simultaneously upon the five towering Fire Spirit Beings standing beside Xiao Yan—these five magnificent beings had just appeared, and their mere presence had immediately triggered such profound changes, clearly indicating an intrinsic connection between them. "The Ice River Valley truly lives up to the term 'baseless.' Not only do they exploit the young with the old, but now they intend to outnumber and overwhelm the younger ones—thus damaging the prestige of the great sect." Tian Huo Master glanced at Tian Shuangzi before him, speaking with a calm, measured tone. "Success is for the victors, failure for the vanquished. Our actions at the Ice River Valley focus solely on results, not on the journey itself." In response to Tian Huo Master's criticism, Tian Shuangzi smiled gently and replied, "Though this young man's performance has indeed exceeded my expectations, this time, he will no longer be protected by good fortune." Tian Shuangzi was most familiar with Tian She's abilities. Though he had previously lost, it was due to Tian Huo Master's interference. Moreover, now with two additional senior elders from the Ice River Valley joining him, their trio—combined—were nearly unbeatable even against a Master-level opponent, let alone Xiao Xiang! Tian Huo Master remained silent. These two figures floating in the sky were the most enigmatic—while battles erupted everywhere else, their confrontation should have been the most captivating. Yet since they faced each other, they remained as motionless as stakes, showing no signs of engagement. Of course, this outward appearance was only apparent to ordinary strong warriors; those with sharper insight could perceive that Tian Huo and Tian Bing were engaged in a perilous exchange. Their energies were locked tightly onto one another. Any slight fluctuation in either’s aura due to external disturbances would immediately trigger a full-scale storm of attacks. For a Doushen-level master, once he chooses to act, his assault becomes truly formidable. A slight unease stirred in his heart. With a darkened expression, Tian She stomped her snake staff in the ground and spoke in a low, steady tone. Hearing Tian She's words, Ice Xuan and Ice Hua also nodded slightly. With a gentle curl of her palm, cold and frigid qi surged upward, swiftly forming two ice swords that shimmered with sharp, piercing beams of light, their bone-tingling chill seeping out continuously. Five fire spirits coiled around Xiao Yan, radiating a steady stream of intense heat from their bodies—so intense that the very space around them began to warp. The sudden assault shattered the stagnant atmosphere of this space. A cold glint flashed in Xiao Yan's eyes as he swiftly altered his hand seal, then roared sharply. As his voice rang out, five flames of Fire Spirit surged forward with a sudden burst, forming a pentagonal formation that completely enveloped a hundred-meter radius of the space. "Roar!" A deep, resonant roar echoed from the five Fire Spirits, followed by five fire pillars of distinct hues erupting from their mouths and piercing straight into the enemy's bodies, forming a perfect pentagonal luminous shape. Crackling! As the fire pillars entered the enemy's bodies, the surfaces of the five Fire Spirits also erupted in radiant brilliance, with luminous beams bursting forth from within them, then weaving across each other to form radiant light lines that traced out intricate, unusual array patterns. Within moments, these intersecting light lines had woven together a highly elaborate and complex luminous array across the sky. As the light array just coalesced, a brilliant wave of fire surged downward, completely enveloping the sky within a hundred-meter radius, and the three members of the Heavenly Serpent were instantly enclosed within this fiery curtain! The sudden shift caused the three serpents to pale slightly, swiftly moving into close proximity. With a coordinated motion of their hands, they unleashed a powerful surge of cold qi, forcefully hurling it against the surrounding fire curtain. Yet the effect was merely a subtle tremor in the fire—by the time the cold qi reached the curtain, it had already dissipated on contact. "Master Serpent, the fire energy within this array is exceptionally turbulent, severely suppressing our internal qi flow," Ice Xuan remarked, his expression growing concerned as he observed the weakened attacks. The Heavenly Serpent's expression darkened, his gaze cold and piercing as it settled upon Xiao Yan, who was also within the array. "There's no need to panic," he said firmly. "No matter how many techniques this young man employs, he will absolutely not be able to break through our trio." "So don't panic!" Xiao Yan glanced at the three Tian She members within the array, coldly笑道, "That's not certain at all..." As his hand seal shifted, ripples spread across the surrounding fire curtains, and then waves of vibrant, five-colored flames surged forth, merging into a vast, roaring sea of fire that filled the entire array. The five-colored flames were breathtakingly beautiful, yet even with the Tian She's formidable strength, their faces grew visibly strained—because they clearly sensed an extraordinary, unprecedented destructive force emanating from the flames. The fusion of three distinct flames—one being a beast fire, one a rare yang fire—produced a result so overwhelming that only the word "terrifying" could adequately describe it. "Lí Huǒ Fén Tiān!" Xiao Yan's face was cold, and the qi within him surged continuously, pouring out and seeping into the surrounding flames. With a sudden point of his finger toward the three members of Tian She below, the extraordinarily terrifying five-colored flames instantly surged like a fierce, monstrous beast, distorting the space around them and sweeping toward Tian She with overwhelming force. By now, this heavenly serpent elder, who had long held a lofty sense of superiority toward Xiao Yan, could no longer help but genuinely set aside his disdain!
