Not only so, countless flames were falling from the ceiling of the cavern, turning the surrounding space into a fiery hell.
Ancient Sage Mo Ling hurriedly retreated.
Even though he had obtained the cultivation technique that the guild leader had imparted to him, he was still unable to withstand the sea of flames. It was fortunate that he still had his physical body, or else his soul would have been severely injured by the flames.
"Guild leader … Is he alright?"
Ancient Sage Mo Ling asked worriedly. Following which, he suddenly heard a hearty laugh. Following which, he saw their guild leader floating quietly in midair. Instead of dodging, he took a deep breath.
"Good move!"
Hula!
Along with his voice, a powerful suction force gushed forth from his body. It was as if a massive whale was sucking in water, and the flames in the cavern swiftly surged toward him.
At the same time, his torso abruptly expanded, reaching a height of ten meters. Stepping on the lava beneath his feet, his entire body was crimson, reminiscent of a gigantic flame giant.
"You …"
Ancient Sage Allfire did not expect the young man to be so powerful either. He was stunned for a moment, but just as he was about to execute his ultimate move, the flames that had surged into the young man's body suddenly flew out of his body.
Xiong xiong xiong!
Crimson flames burst forth from his body, burning intensely as they came into contact with the air around them. Soon, the temperature of the flames began to rise, and they began to turn black.
"This is … the Empyrean Heavenly Flame?"
Feeling the heat emanating from the black flames, Ancient Sage Allfire felt goosebumps rising all over his body. He could not help but retreat in fear.
As the Inferno Behemoth, he had experienced the Heavenly Flame Ordeal before. While it might have been frightening to other cultivators, it was nothing much to him.
However, those were only ordinary heavenly flames. This Empyrean Heavenly Flame was something that even the Inferno Behemoth would not be able to withstand!
Tzzzzzzz!
Ancient Sage Allfire felt as if his hair had been set aflame, and a charred smell wafted in the air. He quickly retreated once more.
In the face of the move that Zhang Xuan had just executed, he was truly afraid!
He had thought that the other party was a soul oracle who feared the power of pure yang due to his cold nature, so he had thought that he would be able to subdue him easily. Who could have thought that the flames that he was most proficient in would actually turn into such a fearsome thing?
The Empyrean Heavenly Flame was capable of incinerating everything in its path. Even Blood Reincarnation realm experts dared not face it directly.
"Didn't you say that it would be too easy for me to deal with you? Don't retreat then! "
Seeing that it was about to reach the wall of the cavern, Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he charged forward with his spear.
Wu Wu!
The Black Dragon roared, and black flames filled the sky. As it danced, it rolled endlessly, and black clouds pressed down on the city, threatening to destroy it.
At this moment, Ancient Sage Mo Ling had already fled out of the cavern.
He couldn't even withstand ordinary flames, let alone the Empyrean Heavenly Flames.
How in the world did the Guild Leader manage to force Ancient Sage Allfire to the brink of insanity?
In truth, Zhang Xuan hadn't expected this to happen either. However, after the other party unleashed his flames, his physical body and soul that had been tempered by the Empyrean Heavenly Flame suddenly trembled. It was as if he yearned for these flames.
Thus, he absorbed the flames into his body and infused them with his Heaven's Path zhenqi, transforming them into the Empyrean Heavenly Flame!
If Zhang Xuan had used ordinary flames, his Heaven's Path zhenqi would have been like the oxygen in the air. Augmenting the flames, it would have immediately flared up, resulting in an explosion of even greater heat.
Peng! Peng!
Pinned to the wall by the black flames, Ancient Sage Allfire's hair had been charred. His blood had also begun to evaporate, revealing some of his golden bones.
From the looks of it, as long as this continued, the Saint Beast Old Ancestor, who reigned supreme over fire, would be burned to ashes by the flames.
"Will you submit or not?"
Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he looked at Ancient Sage Allfire.
"You'll have to kill me first!"
Ancient Sage Allfire spat through gritted teeth.
As the Saint Beast Old Ancestor, a Blood Reincarnation realm expert, he had his own pride.
If he were to submit to a Sempiternal realm consummation insignificant figure, how would he be able to lead his tribe in peace?
"In other words, you're not going to fulfill your end of the bet?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"The bet is yours. I didn't agree to it," Ancient Sage Allfire replied with a trembling voice.
It was true that the other party had agreed to the bet, but before he could agree to it, the other party had already made a move on him.
In other words, the bet wasn't a big deal at all.
"Do you really wish to die?"
Under the relentless barrage of attacks from the spear and the searing heat from the heavenly flames, Ancient Sage Allfire's injuries were worsening. However, he showed no signs of submitting at all. Zhang Xuan frowned.
His Beast Pummeling Taming Technique wasn't just because he was stronger than the Saint Beasts. More importantly, his Heaven's Path zhenqi was able to nourish Ancient Sage Allfire's bloodline and raise its tier.
In other words, it was a stick and a jujube.
If he wanted to tame Ancient Sage Allfire, he would have to rely on the Dragonbone Divine Spear and the heavenly flames to subdue him. However, the Heaven's Path zhenqi was practically useless.
Without the Heaven's Path zhenqi, Ancient Sage Allfire's threat would be greatly reduced.
Not to mention, Ancient Sage Allfire was the Saint Beast Old Ancestor. He was used to his freedom, and he would rather die than submit to a human.
"Make your move! However, my disciples and grand-disciples have never offended you. As the leader of the Soul Oracle Guild and an Ancient Sage expert, I doubt that you would lower yourself to deal with them! "
Ancient Sage Allfire said with gritted teeth.
It was one thing for him to die, but his disciples and grand-disciples were the future of the Beast Tribe. If Ancient Sage Allfire were to go on a killing spree, there would be no one who could stand against him.
Nevertheless, Ancient Sage against Ancient Sage, and ordinary cultivators against ordinary cultivators. Most likely, Ancient Sage Allfire wouldn't lower himself to do something so shameless.
"Disciples and grand-disciples?"
Upon hearing those words, Zhang Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up. "I'm not an Ancient Sage, just a Sempiternal realm consummation cultivator. You should consider this carefully. If you submit to me, I can bring your Beast Tribe out of this predicament. However, if you don't submit to me, even if I don't make a move, the Beast Tribe will still face the wrath of the Otherworldly Demonic Tribe!"
"Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth is determined by the heavens! I might be able to protect them for a moment, but I won't be able to protect them forever. If that's the case, there's nothing I can say! "
Ancient Sage Allfire said with gritted teeth.
Seeing how resolute Ancient Sage Allfire was, Zhang Xuan frowned. A moment later, a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind, and his eyes lit up. "The reason why you aren't submitting to me is because you have a clan backing you. As the Old Ancestor of your clan, you can't possibly become someone's tamed beast. However, what if your clan is willing to accept you as my tamed beast?"
"My clan is filled with arrogance, and they won't even submit to anyone. You want them to submit to you? Dream on! "
Who could have thought that Ancient Sage Allfire wouldn't even bat an eyelid at Ancient Sage Allfire's words?
Was there something wrong with his head? No matter how foolish his clan was, there was no way they would agree to become his tamed beast!
If that was the case, what would happen to their dignity?
"That's not necessarily true!" Zhang Xuan chuckled softly as he whipped out the Dragonbone Divine Spear. He turned to Ancient Sage Mo Ling and instructed, "Ancient Sage Mo Ling, I'll leave you here to guard Ancient Sage Allfire. Don't let him leave. I'll be heading out for a moment, but I'll be back soon."
After saying those words, he leaped forward and disappeared from the spot.
