Chapter 212: Black-Corner Region: Yan Alliance Attacks!

"Quick, retreat!"

Pairs of Dou Qi Wings flew out of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

Han Yue fell behind, as she had just broken through to Dou King and was still unskilled with the Dou Qi Wings. Additionally, her Dou Qi attribute was ice, which was greatly suppressed in the high-temperature environment.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle~"

The snow-white Dou Qi wings on her back quickly melted, and Han Yue's figure fell from mid-air.

"Ah!"

Han Yue cried out in alarm as a column of scorching magma suddenly erupted from the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower below, heading straight for her!

At the moment of crisis, a familiar thunderous sound rang in his ears, and lightning flashed before her eyes.

"Whoosh!"

Yun Tianming used Motionless Thunder Roar to swiftly pull Han Yue away from the eruption of the magma column.

"Mentor Yun, thank you for saving me again."

On Han Yue's pale face, a charming blush gradually appeared. Though the story of a hero saving a damsel in distress was a familiar one, it was undeniably the most romantic story for a young girl in love.

"Han Yue, quickly leave this place with the other students."

Yun Tianming safely sent her back to the ground and focused his gaze on the scorching magma columns erupting from the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. Through Soul Power sensing, Yun Tianming could clearly feel the rich Heavenly Flame aura within the magma. Even a slight touch of it would likely turn anything below Dou Spirit into ashes!

"What... what happened?"

"How did the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower become like this?"

"Look quickly, it seems like something is emerging from there!"

The students of Jia Nan Academy were stunned, staring in disbelief at the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower's surroundings, where a massive translucent fire mist was faintly visible.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"

Accompanied by the sound of rushing wind, nearly twenty figures floated in the sky, their various-colored Dou Qi wings fluttering slightly and appearing quite vivid.

"Form the formation!"

Led by Su Qian, more than twenty elders each released Dou Qi and infused it into a mysterious formation, attempting to suppress the intangible fire mist.

"It's useless, it's too late."

Yun Tianming's gaze grew somber.

"Hiss!"

With a sharp roar from the intangible fire mist, a thunderous explosion suddenly echoed through the sky, and the incredibly sturdy Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower erupted with a tremendous blast! Countless columns of scorching magma spewed out, eliciting horrified gazes from afar!

In an instant, the energy in the entire inner courtyard surged violently. Lava poured everywhere, and the intense heat instantly ignited the surrounding buildings. Within a hundred meters of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower, everything turned into a sea of flames.

"Ahhh! Run!"

The students fled in panic, as the intangible fire mist seemed to be venting centuries of suppressed hatred, erupting in a frenzy of invisible flames, aiming to burn the humans who had used its Heart Fire.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~"

Lake-blue flames formed a towering fire wall, blocking the eruption of the invisible flames.

"Well done, Mentor Yun."

"Protecting the students is up to you!"

Su Qian loudly praised Yun Tianming and guided the elders with all his strength, preparing to rebuild the sealing barrier.

"Hiss!!"

The intangible fire mist, with its triangular eyes wide open, stared fixedly at Yun Tianming, its human-like gaze tinged with a hint of greed.

"Oh? You actually want to devour the Heavenly Flame on me?"

Yun Tianming curled his lips into a cold smile.

"All elders, obey my command and form the thousand-layer sealing formation!"

Su Qian shouted angrily, and the nineteen elders around him responded in unison. Powerful Dou Qi surged out, and under the guidance of the formation, it was gathered together to construct a highly intricate energy net in the sky.

The multi-colored energy net refracted under the sunlight, layer upon layer, resembling a thousand stacked layers, with astonishing defensive power.

The Fallen Heart Flame, which had been sealed for hundreds of years, hated this sealing with a passion and had accumulated power to counter it. The intangible fire mist twisted its body, crazily absorbing the magma from below the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower. Its aura surged rapidly, soon surpassing that of a Dou Ancestor!

"Go down!"

Su Qian, using the formation to gather the strength of the elders, exerted all his power to suppress the Fallen Heart Flame. The two forces entered a standoff, neither willing to give way.

"Boom!"

The Fallen Heart Flame violently impacted the seal. The intangible fire mist's body, carrying the furious power of heaven and earth, shook the seal with each collision. After approximately an hour of near-mad collisions, a weaker 3 Star Dou King elder was the first to falter, with his Dou Qi Wings flickering.

"Elder Liu, catch this."

Yun Tianming threw a Fifth Grade High-level Recovery Pill.

"Thank you, Mentor Yun."

Yun Tianming provided the exhausted elder with the pill to aid in recovery, aiming to weaken the Fallen Heart Flame's energy as much as possible.

After another two hours, under the relentless assaults of the Fallen Heart Flame, which exhausted a significant amount of its energy, the body of the intangible fire mist visibly shrank.

"Very good! Keep up the suppression!!"

Su Qian raised his arms and cheered, lifting the spirits of the elders. Everyone worked together, successfully pressing the Fallen Heart Flame firmly under the sealing formation. However, the current formation was not yet stable enough for absolute suppression.

"Mentor Yun, please continue to provide pills. The seal will need several more hours to complete."

Hu Gan, wiping the sweat from his forehead, was also struggling despite being at the peak of Dou Emperor.

Yun Tianming nodded but looked towards the eastern horizon with a grim expression and said, "Elders, there's an urgent situation! A large number of auras are approaching from the Black-Corner Region!"

"What?!"

Yun Tianming's words made the elders, who had just relaxed, tense up again.

"Grand Elder?"

Su Qian said nothing, focusing his Spirit sensing. His expression immediately darkened. With his attention being on sealing the Fallen Heart Flame, he had not noticed the movement from the Black-Corner Region.

"Damn it! These guys are taking advantage of the situation!"

"Everyone, halt the sealing! Take pills to recover Dou Qi!"

Su Qian decisively abandoned the plan to completely suppress the Fallen Heart Flame and ordered the elders to recover.

"Hiss~"

With the pressure greatly reduced, the Fallen Heart Flame did not counterattack wildly. It seemed to sense the rapid approach of a third-party force from a distance and showed a hint of cunning in its triangular eyes. It settled down suspiciously and absorbed magma to restore its energy.

"Sly creature. But fine, let you consume as much as possible first."

A glint of determination flashed in Yun Tianming's eyes.

A quarter of an hour later, countless black dots appeared on the eastern horizon, and a large number of figures came into view of the people in the inner courtyard.

Leading them was a young man in a black robe.

"Black-Corner Region: Yan Alliance!"

"Greetings to Jia Nan Academy!"
