Chapter 48 Playing with Fire and Getting Burned

  The confrontation had reached this point, and there was nothing more to say. In a trial arena at the waist of Tianfeng Mountain, Chu Yu stood calmly in it, facing the gaze of Bai Qianyu opposite him, which was full of provocation.

  Chu Yi had never fought against a cultivator before, despite having formed his Nascent Soul and cultivated the top-grade divine ability "Inferno Spirit Divine Technique". Now, he had made up his mind to use Bai Qiuyue as a sparring partner to hone his skills and establish his dominance.

  "People are good at being deceived, horses are good at being ridden. In the Upper Mystic Yang Sect, it is also a place where the strong are respected. This Bai Qianyu, whether in terms of status or position, is not ordinary. Defeating him would bring great benefits to one's prestige within the sect..."

  "Win, and win beautifully."

  Chu Yih's heart secretly thought, while Bai Qianyu was leisurely adjusting his collar, with a hint of disdain in his eyes. "What an ignorant little brat, thinking that just because we're both in the Lingdong stage, he has the power to fight me? This time, I'll let you know that even within the same realm, cultivators are divided into three six nine grades."

  The number of onlookers around the trial arena had risen to over a thousand, almost as many as all the inner sect disciples who had gathered here from Tianfeng Peak. Among the six thousand plus inner sect disciples, Bai Qianyu, whose strength could rank among the top five, was going to exchange blows with someone, and just the name "Bai Qianyu" alone had a huge drawing power.

  Of course, Chu Yi brought the seventh-order demon beast up the mountain and thus competed with Bai Qianyu, making a bet, which also made his name remembered by many people.

  "Is that Chun Junfeng Chuyi? I remember him, he bought a Ling symbol from me before."

  "It's been less than half a year since he was still far from reaching the Foundation Establishment realm...!" A spectator exclaimed in shock, recognizing Chu Yi.

  "Lao Zhang, don't scare people like this. In less than a year, you've gone from being a congenital realm to the spiritual movement period. Even among the top nine sects, it's hard to find a few freaks like you. You have to be responsible when speaking."

  "Believe it or not." The man known as Old Zhang hummed, then said affirmatively: "Just because you doubted me, I bet on Chu Yi winning. Do you dare to bet with me, 500 mid-grade spirit stones?"

  "Fine, why don't you want this free spirit stone!"

  Lao Zhang's fellow disciple spread his hands and said, "Lao Zhang, I really don't know what you're thinking. Bai Qianyu is definitely going to become a powerful personal disciple next year. Let's not argue about it anymore, we'll just wait and see the result."

  After the trial array is activated, a layer of transparent light screen as high as 100 zhang will cover the entire trial field. This formation was personally laid down by Yuan Ying Zhen Jun from within the sect. With this barrier, it can guarantee that when the disciples and door people within the sect compete with each other, they will not affect even a single blade of grass or tree outside the trial field.

  "Jun Feng Chu Yi, I heard you've been in the sect for less than a year..."

  Bai Qianyu had just learned about Chu Yi's background from the onlookers' discussions, although he still didn't think that Chu Yi would be his opponent, but Chu Yi's cultivation speed, which could be called terrifying in any sect, made Bai Qianyu vigilant.

  "It seems that Chunyangzi's master has really spent a lot of money."

  In Bai Qianyu's view, Chu Yi's astonishing progress in cultivation was probably due to the help of his master, Chunyangzi. After all, such precedents were not unheard of within the Wushang Xuan Yang Sect. Chu Yi was too lazy to explain and looked up to see that the sun had already begun to set, it seemed that the time left for him was limited.

  "Cut the crap, I'm in a hurry." Chu Yi's brief words once again ignited Bai Qianyu's anger.

  "It is as you wish." Bai Qianyu's figure rose, his aura floating in the air, his ten fingers moving swiftly and changing frequently. Three layers of cyan-colored shields appeared one after another, protecting him entirely within them. At the same time, strands of cyan-colored yuanqi condensed into solid form, swirling around Bai Qianyu's body. In an instant, a suit of ancient, rustic armor made of cyan qi had covered his entire body, giving off an unshakeable sense of solidity and reliability.

  This is one of the three great divine abilities cultivated by Bai Qianyu, and it is also a very rare defensive divine ability. It is also known as "Three Pinnacles Blue Mountain Armor". Among cultivators of the same rank, Bai Qianyu often said that those who can break this armor are countable on one's fingers.

  Chu Yi remained still, standing there with a lazy expression, giving the onlookers a false impression that he was not aware of the impending fight.

  "He can't have been scared silly, can he?!"

  "It's not their fault either. If I were in their shoes, I'd probably have surrendered long ago with a white flag, and wouldn't even have the guts to pretend otherwise."

  "Look quickly, that is Ling Yangzi's unique divine ability - Fire Sea Without Bounds. Bai Qianyu seems to be truly angry, using this move, I think that person surnamed Chu won't die but will lose a layer of skin."

  Indeed, like the murmurs of the onlookers, Bai Qianyu saw that Chu Yi was unmoving, and in a fit of rage, he decided to use the "Endless Ocean of Flames" technique, an intermediate divine ability with extremely shocking effects.

  Among the more than 100 direct disciples of Tiandingshan, he is the only one who has cultivated this divine ability. Firstly, because Bai Qianyu belongs to fire in the five elements, secondly, among the more than 100 disciples, only his cultivation has reached the level of displaying this large-scale offensive divine ability.

  But saw a cloud of fire in his palm, spreading and growing, one becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight...

  In the blink of an eye, thousands of clusters of flickering crimson flames separated from him, slowly revolving around him as their center. With just a thought, these thousands of clusters of true fire could completely engulf Chu Yi.

  "You still have a chance to surrender now." Bai Qiuyue saw that Chu Yi had not made the slightest movement, with a look of being frightened silly, and showed sufficient magnanimity, displaying the demeanor of an expert.

  "Aren't you going to use that treasure?" Chu Yi furrowed his brow and replied evasively.

  "You're not even worthy of me using the 'Purple Flame Jade Five Elemental Pagoda'."

  Bai Qianyu indeed had his own capital, a twenty-seven-year-old quasi-golden elixir cultivator. There were those in the sect who cultivated faster than him, but they could be counted on one hand.

  "What a pity..." Chu Yi murmured to himself, shaking his head with some disappointment.

  Bai Qianyu finally couldn't bear his nature, and with a flicker of thought, a ball of crimson flames suddenly shot towards Chu Yi. Hurry up and end this battle that was devoid of any suspense - this was what Bai Qianyu was thinking at the moment.

  Boom

  A fierce flame descended violently, instantly enveloping Chu Yi, with flames that could melt gold and iron surging in all directions, an astonishing sight.

  "How can he not even have the most basic dodge or block?"

  Witnessing this scene, Bai Qianyu couldn't help but feel a sense of puzzlement in his heart. Although he had expected to win with an overwhelming advantage, it was still too easy.

  The other party is also a Sixth Realm cultivator of the Spirit Movement, and it's natural that they can't withstand the Thousandfold True Flame. However, even if only one True Flame hits them, even a cultivator in the Fusion Period should be able to withstand it somehow.

  "Originally, you should have had the power to use a magic treasure and fight me once more, but you really are disappointing. Never mind, I'm in a hurry, one move will decide victory or defeat... Suck..."

  Just as everyone thought Chu Yi had completely given up on this trial, a calm and composed sigh was heard from the flickering flames of the true fire.

  What they saw next left them shocked on the spot.

  In the fireball, Chu Yi's chest suddenly puffed out, and with a quick intake of breath, the raging flames instantly transformed into a pillar of fire that was continuously sucked into his body, like a whale swallowing water.

  In the blink of an eye, the entire true flame was absorbed by Chu Yi, and he didn't seem to have made any big movements. With a light step on the ground, a crack about one meter in diameter appeared where his right foot stepped.

  To know that this is the emerald floor of Qingjin, which has been blessed by Jingfa, and the power that appears with just one step can make many self-proclaimed powerful cultivators on the scene shut up forever.

  From Chu Yi absorbing the true fire to him jumping up and rushing straight at Bai Qian's attack, it only took a few breaths.

  The latter was shocked, and the Ling jue changed again. Thousands of red flames like cannonballs burst out around him, with a dense and rainy attacking momentum that almost covered the area within a hundred feet in front of him.

  If this "Sea of Flames Without Bounds" was unleashed by his master Ling Yangzi, its maximum range could cover an area of thirty miles in diameter.

  Facing the thousands of blazing flames that seemed to choose their target and bite, Chu Yi did not dodge or evade. With a swift and decisive movement, he activated his unique golden aura around his body, making it impossible for the true fire to invade and the fierce flames to scorch.

  Joke, even if the silver pig is in the magma pool, Chu Yi can still fit in, let alone these scarlet flames that are not even one-third as powerful as the "Extinction Golden Flame", how could they possibly harm Chu Yi, a Fire Dan master.

  "You're playing with fire, you're not even in my league!"
