Battle Through the Heavens: Soul Travels Through Clouds and Mountains, Becoming a Winning Artist

Chapter 89 The Flame Emperor, Standing Across Time

In that timeline, Yun Congxin saw a majestic pass.

It wasn't an ordinary pass like the Zhenbei Pass of the Jiama Empire, built on a mountain and connected to the fortress by the Great Wall, but a world built on the foundation of an entire continent.

Its boundaries are outlined by brilliant flames, and the entire continent, when viewed from afar, resembles a giant ruler lying there, guarding the peace of this world.

"That's... the Endless Fire Domain?" The more Congxin looked at the fiery cloud, the more familiar it seemed, but he wasn't quite sure, and muttered to himself with doubt.

The brilliant flames trembled, and a figure flew out from that realm, heading straight for Yun Congxin, who was wandering in the river of time.

"Elder Yun? You weren't going to... Huh?" The newcomer exclaimed in surprise. He paused for a moment, then laughed, "Elder Yun, you look a bit disheveled..."

"Who are you?" Yun Congxin asked the question, even though she already had a guess in her mind.

The newcomer dispersed the flames around him and traveled upstream through the river of time to stand before Yun Congxin.

"Junior Xiao Yan, Elder Yun, you must be from another time and space, right?" the newcomer said with a smile. "You look rather disheveled. It seems you won't recover anytime soon. Let me lend you a hand."

"Xiao Yan?" Yun Congxin exclaimed in surprise, "It really is you! Where is this? Why am I here?"

"This is the River of Time. You must have messed up in some timeline..." Xiao Yan explained with a smile. "But it's alright. In the future, you will be above the ruler, transcending everything. From the moment you ascend, you will exist simultaneously in the past, present, and future, so you naturally won't die in a place like this."

In his hands, the magnificent imperial flames gathered into a cauldron, exactly the same as the fire cauldron that Xiao Yan and the other two gathered for Yun Congxin in the present world.

Xiao Yan reached out and the fire cauldron enveloped Yun Congxin.

With the help of Di Yan, Yun Congxin's translucent body quickly solidified, and unprecedentedly powerful energy filled his body, making him feel so comfortable that he couldn't help but groan.

Xiao Yan's expression was somewhat strange. He scratched his face, looked at the timeline Yun Congxin was on, and muttered to himself, "Old Yun is having a lot of bad luck. How come there hasn't been a single good ending along the way..."

With nothing else to do, he calculated while protecting Yun Congxin. The Emperor Flame danced at his fingertips and disappeared when it reached its highest point.

"No, this is..." Xiao Yan, who was already the Flame Emperor, became more and more solemn as he calculated. He clenched his fist and the vanished Emperor Flame was pulled back from the surrounding timelines.

"What did Elder Yun encounter outside the Great Thousand World?" Xiao Yan left behind a projection, while his true self, with a strange expression, transformed into a streak of fire and departed.

In the present world, at the bottom of the Burning Heaven Refining Tower.

The fire cauldron, which had been stable for a long time, suddenly became restless, and the huge fire cocoon inside was shaking violently, like an egg about to give birth to life.

Raging!

The flames collapsed, and the strange flames on different layers suddenly converged, intertwining and rotating with each other.

The old physician, who was the first to notice the anomaly, suddenly changed his expression. Looking at the three intertwined strange flames, he roared, "Run!"

The two-colored fire lotus formed by the fusion of two different flames was powerful enough to make even a Dou Huang change color. What about the three different flames that had been swirling for so long, accumulating so much energy, and then erupting?

At least leveling the inner courtyard shouldn't be a problem...

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan and Gu He immediately stopped transmitting the strange fire. They both looked at Yao Lao, not understanding what had happened.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Xiao Yan asked, puzzled, after taking a pill to restore his Dou Qi.

"Wait, this... Xiao Yan, did you do this?" Yao Lao was so surprised that the strange fire was unusually docile, without producing even a trace of violent energy. He lost his composure.

"What did I do?" Xiao Yan was completely confused. He looked up but saw that the fire cauldron had not changed at all.

Yao Lao understood, of course, that Xiao Yan's current soul power was insufficient to control the three different flames, but he couldn't believe that such a thing as a different flame would be so obedient.

"How is this possible?" Among those present, the only one qualified to sense the mysterious changes in the fire cauldron was Yao Lao. His eyes widened, unable to believe what he was seeing.

"What's wrong, teacher?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Truly astonishing! I've encountered more strange things today than in most of my previous lives..." Yao Lao's exclamation echoed in Xiao Yan's mind. "The strange fire surrounding Sect Master Yun within that fire cauldron is actually fusing!"

"Fusion? Could it be the Burning Technique?" Xiao Yan blinked, asking Yao Laodao in his mind.

The old doctor said helplessly, "How is that possible? Sect Master Yun's battle qi is wind attribute, he can't cultivate the Burning Technique at all."

"What happened?"

"I'm not quite sure either... I've never encountered anything like this before..." Yao Lao's bitter laugh echoed in Xiao Yan's mind. "If word got out about this, it would scare those old monsters in the Pill Tower to death."

Even the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm, Yao Lao, did not realize that beneath the gentleness of the three strange flames, another flame was hidden.

It was only a trace, just a small amount that overflowed from Yun Congxin's body, and it didn't actually carry any immense energy.

But it is the true supreme among all fires, the emperor among all strange fires, and is powerful enough to command all other strange fires!

Imperial Flame!

Under the oppressive power of the Emperor's Flame, whether it was the Sea Heart Flame, the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, or the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, they were all as quiet and docile as little chicks.

They merged into a three-colored fire lotus, which appeared beneath Yun Congxin.

Without the power supply from the three alchemists, the fire cauldron was gradually drained of its energy and disappeared into the air, revealing the cloud-like heart that was wrapped inside.

And beneath it, the exquisite and beautiful three-colored fire lotus.

Yun Congxin sat cross-legged on the three-colored fire lotus, his appearance solemn and dignified, like the World Honored One or a deity.

His physical body had been reformed, radiating golden light and brimming with vitality.

"Sect Master Yun, you seem to have gotten younger?" Yao Lao blinked, still recovering from the shock, and forced a smile.

Compared to the golden energy and the fusion of strange fire, Yun Congxin's rejuvenation seemed so ordinary.

Gu He also sensed it and exclaimed in amazement, "Indeed, there is no trace of aging or deathly aura in Sect Master Yun's body. It's not just a change in appearance like before, but a true rejuvenation. If someone who didn't know Sect Master Yun were to look at him, they would probably think he was just a young man of about twenty years old..."

In the future, within the vast world and the endless fiery domain.

Xiao Yan looked at the several new palaces that had appeared where Yun Congxin had been living and gave a wry smile.

"I knew it. With Old Master Yun's personality, if he had rejuvenated in the past, he would definitely have been a womanizer..."

"The Endless Fire Domain is going to be even more lively now..."
