Chapter 159 - Immortal Alliance Returns
Deep in the main hall, the current leader of Burning Sky Valley, Ling Yan, also known as Venerable Lieyang, was sitting on the red crystal throne.
He had a resolute face, his long crimson hair was like a burning flame, golden flames flowed between his eyes, and his whole body exuded a scorching and overbearing aura like a lava volcano!
The pressure of the peak-level Spirit Transformation Realm filled the hall, causing the several Nascent Soul Realm elders standing solemnly below to feel their breath burning and their hearts depressed.
In Ling Yan's hand was not the Valley Master's seal, but an ancient jade slip with charred edges and covered in cracks. Made of neither gold nor jade, it felt icy cold to the touch, a stark contrast to the scorching heat of Burning Heaven Valley.
He slowly stroked a deep crack on the jade slip with his fingertips, and golden flames surged in his eyes, burning with greed and unwillingness.
Ling Yan's deep voice echoed through the hall, like rumbling thunder, carrying the texture of metallic friction. "Back then, my master, the late-stage Spiritualization Patriarch Chi Yang, personally led five Nascent Soul Elders and two Spiritualization Elders, armed with the valley-guarding immortal artifact, the Burning Heaven Mirror... and stepped into the Burial God Abyss... solely to search for that legendary treasure..."
He clenched the jade slip fiercely, his knuckles turning white. The slip groaned under the weight. "What was the result? The soul lamps were completely extinguished! The Burning Heaven Mirror was shattered! Only this blood-stained fragment and a fragmented warning were transmitted back: 'The Source Fire... cannot... be controlled... by... a valley... ...the Return Ruins... is... vicious...'"
The elders below were silent, their heads lowered even lower. The disastrous defeat centuries ago was Burning Sky Valley's top secret, the deepest shame and obsession in the hearts of every successive leader! The fall of Patriarch Chiyang and his companions severely damaged Burning Sky Valley's vitality, and from then on, it was dominated by the Heavenly Sword Sect.
"Not only did they not know what was good for them during the Immortal Alliance competition, they even ran away..." Ling Yan's eyes blazed with golden flames, as if to consume everything before him. His voice was filled with a fervent desire. "Master, they failed because they were incompetent! They didn't know how to adapt! They were scared by the reputation of 'Guixu Dangerous Land'! Last time, they ran away, it was all your fault for being too careless."
He stood up abruptly, his long crimson hair moving without a breeze, and golden flames erupted from his body, scorching the air around the throne with a crackling sound! The terrifying pressure of peak-level incarnation was like tangible lava, pressing down hard on every elder!
"Now! I have reached the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm! The Nine Tribulations Heaven Burning Furnace has also been fully developed! Its power far exceeds that of the Heaven Burning Mirror back then!" Ling Yan's voice was like the clanging of metal, full of unquestionable determination.
"Deep within the God Burial Abyss, what lies behind that door is destined to be in the pocket of my Burning Heaven Valley! It is also the stepping stone for me, Ling Yan, to ascend to the pinnacle of this world!"
His cold gaze swept across the area below. "Spies report that the Guixu Sect has re-established itself on the edge of the God Burial Abyss. Humph, they're just a bunch of ignorant ants occupying the edge of this dangerous place! Perfect! I can use their blood as a sacrifice to help Burning Sky Valley regain its footing on the God Burial Road!"
"Send the order!" Ling Yan's voice was like thunder. "Assemble the Burning Heaven Guards! Elders Chi Yan and Jin Yan will lead the team! Hold the Nine Tribulations Burning Heaven Furnace! In three days, march to the Burial God Abyss! Sweep away the 'Guixu Sect', capture their leader, and search their soul! This lord demands to know all the current changes in the abyss!"
"We will obey the Sect Master's order!" Several Nascent Soul Elders below responded in unison, their eyes also burning with the flames of revenge and greed for the Source Fire. Elder Chiyan had a sinister look on his face, and black and red flames swirled around him.
Elder Jin Yan's hair and beard were all golden, and his aura was fiery and domineering. It turned out that they were all great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage!
Ling Yan slowly sat back on the throne, exerted force with his fingertips, and the blood-stained ancient jade slip turned into a puff of crimson powder in his palm and fell to the ground.
"Guixu... Yanjin, you should go too. You lost to Chu Linyuan last time, so this time you should fight back on your own."
"Yes, I will definitely take revenge this time!" Yan Jin knelt on the ground and accepted the order, with a hint of viciousness flashing in his eyes.
Venerable Lieyang looked at the powder drifting between his fingers, as if looking at the disappearing past. The corners of his mouth curled up in a cruel and determined arc, "I want to see how much of the Guixu Sect's reputation is left!"
The war drums of Burning Sky Valley began to rumble like the roar of a dormant volcano awakening.
Blazing golden-red evil clouds gathered above the valley, and a murderous aura rose into the sky like a flaming spear pointing towards the abyss of burial of gods.
At this moment in the Immortal Killing Square, Xie Zhao was chasing Chu Linyuan to ask for "mental damage compensation", Su Tang was still making jokes in the live broadcast, Tie Niu was carefully watering the star moss, Luo Hongyi was studying her poisonous mushrooms, and Bai Xiaolu was sitting next to the base of the Talisman Array Tower with Rabbit in his arms, looking at the starlight and dragon patterns flowing on the tower.
The tranquility at the edge of the abyss is about to be ripped apart once again by the blazing flames of Burning Heaven. This time, the Guixu Sect is no longer the Wuxia Amon of the past. With the dragon-killing talisman shining and the star beasts protecting them, they await the embers of the Burning Valley to once again descend into the abyss!
The crimson flames tore through the eternal darkness of the God Burial Abyss!
A huge shadow, accompanied by a roar that burned through the space, brutally rolled over the surging evil clouds!
Nine "little suns" burning with dazzling golden flames hovered at the bow of the ship, like nine violent eyes of the Burning Heaven! They were the projections of the sub-furnaces of the Nine Tribulations Burning Heaven Furnace, the most important weapon in the Burning Heaven Valley!
The scorching heat distorted the space, and the red Burning Sky Crystal Armor covering the hull was flowing with a lava-like luster. Wherever it passed, the evil spirit was evaporated, and the space groaned under the heavy burden!
The Burning Sky Valley's flagship—the Scarlet Phoenix Cruiser! Even larger, more ferocious, and more threatening than the one destroyed by Chu Linyuan's single shot! Flanking the ship, dozens of smaller war shuttles, each also ablaze with golden flames, flanked it. Like a crimson shower of meteors, they descended upon Immortal Killing Square!
In the main control room of the bridge, Chi Yan, the great elder of Fentian Valley, stood in front of the light curtain.
His face was haggard and sinister, and he was wearing a robe with black and red flame patterns. He exuded the scorching murderous aura of a late Nascent Soul, and his eyes flickered with flames of cruelty and greed.
Behind him, his deputy, Elder Jin Yan, had golden hair and beard, and his aura was equally domineering and fiery.
The two men were ordered by the leader Ling Yan to come with the power of the Nine Tribulations Burning Emperor Furnace to wipe out the Guixu Sect, to avenge the death of the Chiyang ancestor three hundred years ago, and to seize the legendary Chaos Source Fire!
"Target area locked! Abnormal energy readings!" a Burning Heaven Guard reported hurriedly, "A high-intensity spatial stabilization force field detected... and... a mixture of dragon evil and star fluctuations!"
"Hmph!" Elder Chi Yan forced a ferocious grin across his withered face, his voice like sandpaper scraping against the ground. "Dragon Evil? Stars? The rotten fish and shrimp of the Burial God Abyss dare to play tricks! They must be the remnants of those who escaped by chance back then, lingering here! Perfect, let's settle all the old and new grudges at once! Send the message! Charge the Burning Heaven Cannon! Target - the gathering place of ants ahead! Blast them into ash!"
