Chapter 413 The Demise of the Yang Family, Igniting the Subterranean Fire
Venerable Qianyan is dead.
The blazing sun had extinguished its flames, leaving only a small ember.
It huddled up tremblingly, tightly bound in the chain by the Seven-Turn Glazed Flame, the flames dimming in their light.
Chu Lengyu stood there quietly, her gaze shifting slightly, and she reached out her hand.
As if sensing something, the blazing sun seemed to "spit out" a jade slip.
This jade slip carries the life's work and obsession of Venerable Qianyan, and also witnesses his choice before his death.
On his deathbed, Venerable Qianyan suddenly changed his mind. He did not leave this inheritance to the Yang family, but instead left it to her, his enemy.
The jade slip records all of Venerable Qianyan's research on different flames, as well as his bold ideas and countless experiments on the art of fusing different flames.
He struggled to find the right approach, but he was never able to take that crucial step.
Venerable Qianyan had already glimpsed a faint outline of immortality, a goal he had longed for his entire life, yet which remained unattainable.
Perhaps the power of the blazing sun was insufficient to support him in accomplishing this feat, or perhaps his own aptitude had not yet reached that level, but in any case, the legacy he left behind has extraordinary potential.
However, Chu Lengyu had a strange intuition that there might be a true technique for fusing different flames within the Star Palace.
The vastness of the Starry Sea and myriad worlds is immense, and countless powerful beings have left their mark within it. Any secret technique may have already been tried and created by some predecessor.
The scene of Venerable Qianyan's demise just now touched Chu Lengyu's heart and gave her some insights. After returning, she still needs to calmly sort them out.
The jade slip in her hand carries the legacy of Venerable Qianyan's entire life. Perhaps one day, when she meets the person truly suited to inherit this legacy, she will pass it on.
As for why he didn't leave the jade slip to the Yang family, Chu Lengyu scanned it with his divine sense and already knew the answer.
The situation on Tianhuo Island is now one of utter devastation.
Previously, the sub-fires lost the control of Venerable Qianyan and began to devour their hosts in a frenzied manner.
The disciples and elders of the Yang family were unable to resist and were burned to ashes in despair one after another by the fire.
At this moment, Skyfire Island was in complete chaos.
The aftermath of this disaster quickly spread to Tianhuo City, where people were horrified to discover that the once-powerful Yang family had been destroyed in a single day.
This disaster swept through Skyfire City, instantly swallowing its former prosperity into panic.
The remaining strength of the Yang family seemed so insignificant and powerless at this moment. They tried to control the disaster caused by the backlash of the sub-fire in the name of the family, but all of this was in vain.
The madness and ferocity of the fire exceeded their imagination and tolerance, leaving them only able to watch helplessly as their family marched step by step toward destruction.
Just then, a deafening explosion suddenly came from the forbidden area behind the mountain, and the entire Skyfire Island shook under the impact of this force.
Despite the numerous arrays obscuring the view, the cultivators were unable to discern what had transpired in the forbidden area behind the mountain.
However, without needing to investigate, people knew that it must be an even more tragic and horrific scene.
Immediately afterwards, the Blazing Fire Tower also began to collapse with the fall of Venerable Thousand Flames.
Starting from the top, tiny cracks appeared on the tower, which then rapidly expanded until it finally shattered with a deafening roar.
This out-of-control, exploding fifth-tier magic weapon completely razed the most prosperous area of Skyfire City to the ground.
This disaster not only destroyed the Yang family, but also robbed Tianhuo City of its former glory, turning it into a desolate wasteland.
Chu Lengyu had already flown to the front of that dazzling golden palace.
Her divine sense spread out and carefully investigated, confirming that the Aurora Fox and other otherworldly monsters were imprisoned deep within this palace.
A streak of light flashed, and the palace treasure shrank to the size of her palm, where she calmly put it away.
This was originally used by Venerable Qianyan to imprison demonic beasts, and it contained immense power. However, in Chu Lengyu's eyes, it was nothing more than a spoil of war.
At this moment, the cultivators of Tianhuo City had gathered in the forbidden area behind the mountain and surrounded the place.
Among them, one of the surviving elders of the Yang family was furious, his eyes bloodshot. The dramatic changes that had occurred in the family had thrown him into a state of mental chaos, and he was about to vent his anger.
"Whoever caused our Yang family to suffer like this, we must not let them leave Tianhuo City alive!" he roared, his voice hoarse and shrill.
Hatred and anger had clouded his judgment.
The remaining members of the Yang family who were still conscious had already sensed the danger and were currently fleeing Tianhuo Island.
An enemy that even Venerable Qianyan couldn't handle, it's likely that a Grandmaster cultivator has come in person. Who on this island could possibly defeat him?
However, some of the cultivators had lost their former calm and rationality; only hatred remained in their hearts.
Driven by this emotion, they launched a desperate attack on the formation, unleashing all sorts of magical treasures and spells, determined to break it.
Despite the onslaught of attacks, Chu Lengyu remained calm and composed, unmoved by the external turmoil.
Deep within those eyes, however, gleamed a resolute determination; she had already made a decision.
This place is indeed no longer suitable for lingering. If we delay any longer, it may lead to other troubles.
Then, she swayed slightly, leaving a hazy afterimage in place, and then, as if merging into the void, she gathered all her aura, transformed into a stream of light, and sped towards the distant horizon.
During the rapid flight, she unhesitatingly discarded the Thunder Pool magic weapon in her hand and ordered it to self-destruct.
Upon receiving the command, the Thunder Pool magic weapon instantly burst forth with dazzling light.
Immediately following was a deafening explosion, like a thunderclap in the sky.
boom!
The deafening roar shook the entire Skyfire Island.
The Thunder Pool magic weapon burst into the sky above Skyfire Island, creating the most dazzling fireworks, but also bringing destructive power.
This self-destruction not only released the terrifying power it contained, but also unexpectedly ignited the underground fire on Skyfire Island.
The subterranean fire, which had been imprisoned for millions of years, seemed to have found an outlet, surging wildly, and the entire island began to tremble violently.
The raging thunder and surging subterranean fire intertwined and entwined, making Skyfire Island appear so fragile in the face of this destructive power.
On the island, raging fire spread rampantly, engulfing all living things.
Thunder and fire raged across every corner of Skyfire Island. Wherever they passed, solid rocks and lush forests were reduced to ashes by this terrifying power, leaving only scorched earth.
The cultivators on Skyfire Island were terrified, but it was too late to escape. They could only watch helplessly as the firestorms approached them, feeling the aura of death drawing ever closer and engulfing them.
Those once arrogant and domineering Yang family cultivators have long since lost their former prestige.
They struggled and cried out in the sea of flames, but no one could lend a helping hand. Their bodies gradually withered under the scorching heat of the flames, eventually turning into charred remains and becoming one with the land.
When the firestorm finally subsided, Skyfire Island had completely disappeared from this world.
The once bustling island is now nothing but a desolate wasteland, with ashes flying everywhere and a pungent, burnt smell filling the air.
Using the raging flames and deafening roar generated by the self-destruction of the Thunder Pool magic treasure as cover, Chu Lengyu quietly left this place of trouble.
She looked back and saw that the once glorious Skyfire Island had now become a burning hell.
The raging fire engulfed the entire island, flames soaring and thick smoke billowing, blotting out the sky.
The Yang family, a renowned clan in the Minghai Realm, perished in the raging flames.
Chu Lengyu knew that this incident would likely shake the entire Minghai Realm.
So she had to erase the traces she left behind, but she didn't expect the chain reaction caused by the explosion to be even bigger than she imagined.
From then on, she would no longer use the appearance illusion of "Junior Sister Yu," including the lightning magic.
Her figure gradually blurred on the horizon, eventually disappearing into the vast sea of clouds.
