Chapter 336: Completing the Mission

It’s coming, it’s coming…

There was a passionate glow in Hu Guan and Tang Ximen’s eyes as they looked toward the Divine Weapon eagerly.

After all this time, they finally had a chance to obtain a Divine Weapon. How could they not be excited?

With a clang, the Azure Ocean Sword soared into the sky. It shot over the wide-eyed An Lin and weaved past the eager Hu Guan and Tang Ximen. Eventually, it stopped before a drop of blood essence and started ringing happily.

Everyone turned their gaze toward that lucky individual. However, what they saw was a look of exasperation on that lucky person’s face.

“Sigh… Why is it me? I’m a young sorceress! What use do I have for this metal sword?”

Liu Qianhuan stared at the rejoicing sword with her bright purple eyes. There was no sign of delight on her face.

“Sigh… Whatever, I already have the Great Ice Sword anyway. Now that I have this Azure Ocean Sword, perhaps I can dual wield in the future…” In the end, she shook her head and reluctantly placed the sword into her storage ring.

Hu Guan and Tang Ximen were both on the verge of vomiting blood. Sister, if you don’t like it, then give it to us!

They roared in their minds. Why do you have such a look of contempt? This is going to cause us secondary damage, do you understand?!

Battle God Zi Yang was also dazed by this scene. After all, that sword wasn’t some useless piece of trash. That was a Divine Weapon which was worth more than his underwear!

This girl is actually showing contempt toward it? Holy sh*t!

The Azure Ocean Sword had already chosen an owner, so they all composed themselves and continued on their journey.

The Ancient Barren Realm was deathly still and quiet, yet there were many dangers lurking behind this facade of calm. Thus, An Lin and the others didn’t dare walk too fast. The first reason was due to safety, and the second reason was so that they could scour every inch of this land carefully. What if the Shou Yang Tomb was under a snowy mountain which they accidentally flew over? They couldn’t be sloppy in their search.

Before they knew it, another two days passed.

In these two days, they encountered all kinds of spatial traps and environmental threats. These were all perilous situations, but they managed to escape all of them safely.

Originally, they had planned to spend a year or so searching in this realm. Now, however, they all had grave expressions on their faces. In a mere two days, they had already had numerous scrapes with death. Could they really survive if they spent a year here?!

An Lin was even more worried. If he didn’t find the Heavenly Void Flame soon, he would have to suffer the punishment of being scorched by raging flames for three days.

“Hmm? There’s something peculiar about the space in the northeast region.” Battle God Zi Yang wore a cold expression as he stared intently at the spatial ripples in the distance. Those ripples were transparent, and they wriggled around like clear glass. The scenery behind these ripples was distorted by their movement.

“These peculiarities don’t seem to be directly related to space.” Little Qing opened her eyes and looked toward the distorted scenery in the northeast region. She also had an expression of uncertainty.

After hearing this exchange, a speculation suddenly formed in An Lin’s mind. “Say, guys, could that be the Heavenly Void Flame?” he asked excitedly. “Maybe the air is being distorted by its high temperatures?”

Everyone shuddered upon hearing this. These spatial ripples were shapeless and colorless, and they hovered about in the void. Perhaps it really was the Heavenly Void Flame.

Battle Goddess Bi Qiong opened her mouth and exhaled. Then, a small green snake spread its wings and dashed toward the spatial ripples in the distance.

Tsss… Tsss…

The little green snake was quickly scorched black by the spatial ripples. In the end, it disintegrated into dust and vanished from this world.

“Heh, it really is a flame…”

Battle Goddess Bi Qiong confirmed An Lin’s speculation. There was a hint of anticipation in her eyes as she looked toward him.

Battle God Zi Yang laughed heartily as he patted An Lin’s shoulder. “Congratulations, Mr. An Lin! Now, it’s time for you to perform!”

An Lin gazed at the distorted space in the distance. He didn’t know where to begin. After all, this was his first time eating an empty void.

Before he could even react, the transparent and distorted flame started moving. As if it had received some kind of stimulation, it flew toward them like a gentle stream.

Its movement was extremely uncanny, and it wasn’t aggressive and turbulent like normal flames. Instead, it streamed toward them like a formless killer, silent and gentle.

“It’s coming! Be careful, everyone!”

Battle God Zi Yang roared in warning, and everyone hid behind An Lin as if in tacit understanding.

“Ah…!” An Lin activated his Wings of True Fire cultivation method and opened his mouth.

“Glug, glug…”

A tasteless matter suddenly started pouring into his stomach.

An Lin felt as though he was eating a tasteless yet substantial air. Its texture was dreadful, and this was a horrible experience.

As if in terror, the flame suddenly stopped in its tracks. It immediately looked for a new target to attack.

“It’s turning around! Be careful, guys!” Seeing the flame change direction, Battle God Zi Yang hastily shouted a warning.

The colorless flame suddenly turned around and dashed toward the people hiding behind An Lin’s back.

“Okey-dokey! Watch how I tame it!”

An Lin immediately started maneuvering around. The others all started running along with him.

Just like that, the colorless and distorted flame missed its target.

“Haha, doesn’t this seem like a game of ‘the eagle catches the chickens’? The Heavenly Void Flame is the eagle, and we’re the little chicks. An Lin is the mother hen…” From out of nowhere, Liu Qianhuan suddenly started laughing.

An Lin: “…”

The stream of transparent flames didn’t give up, and it changed its direction of attack a few more times. However, An Lin was able to outmaneuver it every single time. Moreover, An Lin ruthlessly swallowed a few more chunks of the flame.

“Ptui, ptui… This flame tastes like nothing, it’s like eating empty air! My tummy is bursting!” An Lin started grumbling about the horrible flavor of the flame.

“I swallow empty air every day as well. How come I don’t feel full at all?” Su Qianyun said in a mellow voice.

An Lin: “…”

“You won’t tame it like this,” Xuanyuan Cheng observed. “Don’t worry about us. Take the initiative and attack it! Go and swallow its source!”

“But I don’t know where the source of the flame is!” An Lin lamented.

The Heavenly Void Flame was a ball of transparent flames. Even its source was transparent. An Lin had no idea where to find it.

“You need to sense its location with your heart,” Battle God Zi Yang said suddenly.

An Lin grimaced. “Sense it with my heart? Why don’t I move it with my love? If you’re so able, why don’t you go?!”

Battle God Zi Yang shut his eyes, and his breathing became slow and calm. “Can you hear it? That’s the flame’s heartbeat…”

Just as An Lin was about to retort Zi Yang, he saw two large hands grab onto his waist. “Hey, hey? What are you doing?”

“Go!” Battle God Zi Yang roared.

He released a massive force, and An Lin suddenly shot out like a cannonball. He streaked toward some direction in the void.

What the f*ck?! An Lin didn’t have time to grumble. He immediately activated the Wings of True Fire cultivation method and made a hail mary attempt.

Boom!

As his body crashed through the transparent flames, the Heavenly Void Flame poured into his stomach non-stop. This feeling was as though his stomach was continuously being pumped with air.

Finally, he felt a burning sensation entering his mouth. Eventually, this burning sensation enveloped his entire body!

A “void” character appeared on his Wings of True Fire cultivation method. There were four characters etched upon this method now—”sun”, “moon”, “star”, and “void”.

Seeing this, An Lin finally relaxed. He didn’t expect to swallow the strange and uncanny Heavenly Void Flame in such an inexplicable manner. Thinking back to it now, it all felt a bit ridiculous.

“Ding Dong! Mission success. The Wings of True Fire cultivation method will now be upgraded to stage two.”

Suddenly, An Lin saw an endless stretch of flames burning the cosmos into nothingness.

The true intent of the sun, moon, star, and void flames started fusing into his body.

A crimson-colored symbol materialized on the back of his hand. This caused his aura to become imposing and blazing hot.

Battle God Zi Yang was animated as he looked toward An Lin’s surging aura. “Is this the result of the Flame Mantra being mastered? Such pure power! Such terrifying true intent!”

Even though An Lin didn’t release any earth-shaking spell techniques, the magnificent intent realm flowing through his body was still enough to make Battle God Zi Yang extremely envious.

Even Xu Xiaolan, who possessed the Divine Phoenix Bloodline, had a hint of astonishment in her eyes.

Everyone sighed with emotion when they saw this scene. They didn’t anticipate that the four Divine Flames of Zhan Qi Continent would all be swallowed by An Lin. In addition, An Lin really could rely on these flames to master a powerful cultivation method…

An Lin was feeling extremely satisfied as he sensed the majestic flame energy surge through his body. He really wanted to burn something right now.

Stage two of the Wings of True Fire cultivation method gave rise to a technique called the Sea of Divine Flames. He wasn’t sure about the power of this technique.

“Alright, the Heavenly Void Flame has been obtained, let’s continue,” Little Qing said as she glanced at An Lin.

At some unknown time, the sky had gradually darkened.

They continued moving toward the north. On the snow-covered ground in the distance, a fleeting black figure suddenly appeared.
