Chapter 512: Three Types of Strange Flames?
Xiao Ze's words made both Xiao Xuan and Xun'er pause in surprise, but they did not immediately refute him. After all, when it comes to understanding flames, Xiao Ze, as a grandmaster alchemist, undoubtedly knows far more than they do. Perhaps Xiao Ze had materials prepared to cultivate other strange flames.
Without keeping them in suspense, Xiao Ze opened his palm and summoned the Origin Emperor Flame. The brilliant golden flame seemed to contain countless colors within it, dazzling with a supreme aura.
Upon seeing the Origin Emperor Flame, Xiao Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he quickly searched his memory for any record of this flame among the strange flames. However, he couldn't find anything that matched the flame Xiao Ze had summoned, which left him astonished. This flame was a completely new type of strange flame not recorded on the Flame Rankings!
At first glance, its golden color seemed to align with the Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame and the Ninth Netherworld Golden Ancestor Flame, ranked seventh on the Flame Rankings. However, the strange flame summoned by Xiao Ze also contained myriad colors within the gold, making it incredibly magnificent.
Xun'er, already somewhat familiar with Xiao Ze's strange flame, wasn't too surprised. However, she noticed something interesting. Initially, her Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame didn't react much to Xiao Ze's peculiar flame. But as Xiao Ze's strength grew, her flame's reactions became more pronounced with each summoning of his strange flame. It seemed that the origin flame of Xiao Ze's strange flame grew stronger alongside his power, which was quite remarkable.
This time, when Xiao Ze summoned the golden flame, Xun'er felt her Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame freeze and even retreat within her. It was as if her flame was facing a supreme emperor, not daring to show any defiance. The Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, ranked fourth on the Flame Rankings, only showed such fear toward flames ranked above it. Only three flames ranked above it: the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, the Nihility Devouring Flame, and the mysterious number one on the list.
Xun'er had some suspicions but chose not to voice them. Since Xiao Ze hadn't explained it to her directly, she assumed he had his reasons. Yet, this suspicion planted a seed in her mind, making her believe even more that Xiao Ze's strange flame was extraordinary.
After summoning the Origin Emperor Flame, Xiao Ze combined it with his auxiliary feedback abilities. After some consideration, he chose two abilities he was most familiar with: the Calamity Poison Body and the Serpent's Three-Flower Pupils.
Raising his other hand, a more vibrant flame emerged, mainly golden but now mixed with seven colors. Though the colors were fewer, the sense of danger it emitted was even stronger.
Both Xiao Xuan and Xun'er focused their attention on this new flame. In their perception, it was also a brand-new strange flame!
"How is this possible?" Xiao Xuan couldn't help but exclaim.
The first flame Xiao Ze summoned exuded an unparalleled majesty, capable of commanding all flames. But this new flame gave a sense of lethal danger, like an extinction fire that could poison and destroy all life!
"This is one of my abilities. It allows this flame to combine with my other abilities, thereby altering the flame itself," Xiao Ze explained casually, though Xiao Xuan was left stunned.
Altering the flame itself!?
Strange flames are inherently the kings of all fires, reigning supreme over countless types of fire. Whether it's mundane fire, cultivated Dou Qi fire, or beast fire, strange flames dominate them all, demonstrating their overpowering nature. Yet, Xiao Ze's ability could merge his powers with a strange flame, altering its very nature!
Coming to his senses, Xiao Xuan's eyes gleamed as he looked at Xiao Ze. He realized he still knew too little about this descendant of the Xiao clan. Xiao Ze's displayed abilities were merely the tip of the iceberg.
But the more impressive Xiao Ze's abilities were, the more thrilled Xiao Xuan felt. The more cards Xiao Ze had up his sleeve, the more incredible his talents were. With such astounding talent, Xiao Ze might truly touch and even surpass the threshold, becoming the first Dou Di in millennia!
Xun'er, observing the deadly flame, thought back to Xiao Ze's Calamity Poison Body ability. She didn't expect Xiao Ze could combine this ability with a strange flame, thereby transforming its nature to include both the lethal toxicity of the Calamity Poison Body and the terrifying power of a strange flame.
Xiao Ze then brought his hands together, and when he reopened them, a bi-colored flame of cyan and gold floated above his palms. This bi-colored flame emitted a peculiar wave, one glance from an ordinary person could cause mental disorientation.
Combining the Serpent's Three-Flower Pupils' origin power with the Emperor Flame, it had a powerful mental interference effect, making those who looked at it feel mentally unstable. If Xiao Ze didn't suppress its power and let it fully unleash, placing this bi-colored flame over a large city would be enough to cause a mental breakdown for everyone in the city!
Both Xiao Xuan and Xun'er looked at this peculiarly radiating flame, already feeling somewhat numb. The strange flames so coveted by many seemed as if they could be casually created by Xiao Ze.
Feeling the fear of her Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame, Xun'er couldn't help but smile wryly. Even if Xiao Ze's abilities altered the strange flames, it didn't change the fact that they still ranked above her flame. If these two flames were recorded on the Flame Rankings, her flame's rank might drop to sixth.
After demonstrating his capabilities to Xiao Xuan and Xun'er, ensuring they believed he could practice the Tian Huo San Xuan Bian, Xiao Ze put away the flames. He took out the scroll containing the full technique and placed it on his forehead, absorbing the vast information into his mind. Since it was his first time attempting to practice this, Xiao Ze needed to familiarize himself with it.
The Tian Huo San Xuan Bian is a highly advanced secret technique that ultimately allows the practitioner to develop the Xiao clan's mark. The difficulty of practicing it is considerable. Fortunately, Xiao Ze's talent is exceptional, and with the tenfold talent feedback from Xun'er's Holy Heart Glazed Pill, his talent had greatly increased. It shouldn't take him too long to master it...
