Chapter 203: Heavenly Demon Puppet Magma Sea

Black Horn Region, Demon Flame Valley.

Lin Yuan flicked his fingertips, and a sharp and unparalleled energy burst out suddenly, piercing through the throat of the last Douhuang elder of the Demon Flame Valley. "The Demon Flame Valley will no longer exist! If you want to live, leave this place. Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy."

Lin Yuan casually put the corpse in his hand into his storage ring, and his indifferent judgment echoed over the Demon Flame Valley.

"Devil Flame Valley, destroyed? How is it possible..."

Witnessing the elders being wiped out without any chance of fighting back, the people in the Demon Flame Valley completely lost their defenses. Fear, panic, and despair spread rapidly like a plague, and finally converged into a torrent, driving them to make a common decision - escape.

Lin Yuan didn't care what would happen to the small shrimps in the Demon Flame Valley next.

He turned his head and looked at Zi Yan who closed her eyes beside him, and asked: "Zi Yan, can you sense the location of the treasure house?"

Zi Yan slowly opened her purple eyes, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Hehe, don't you know my ability? Of course I found it, follow me."

After saying that, she moved and flew towards the depths of the Demon Flame Valley. Seeing this, Lin Yuan followed closely behind her.

Not long after, after a round of house-destroying treasure hunting, the two arrived at the secret vault of the Demon Flame Valley.

With a loud "boom", Zi Yan smashed the stone door of the secret vault with one punch. Suddenly, smoke and dust filled the air. A black shadow took the opportunity to pounce from the smoke and dust, but unfortunately, the monster from the Dou Wang realm was killed by Zi Yan just as she was about to touch it.

"With your limited strength, you think you can launch a sneak attack on me? Humph!" Zi Yan raised her head proudly and said disdainfully.

"Let's go in and take a look. There should be a lot of good things in this treasure house." Lin Yuan waved his sleeves lightly, and a whirlwind swept past, instantly dispersing the dust. Then he pulled Zi Yan and slowly stepped into the treasure house.

"The storage work in this Demon Flame Valley is quite good." Looking at the well-organized and clearly graded treasures in front of him, Lin Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

Then, the two of them collected things along the way and soon came to the end of the warehouse. A bookshelf isolated by a faint light shield appeared in their field of vision.

Looking at the five simple wooden boxes, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Found it, Zi Yan, I'll leave it to you next..."

"Hehe, watch me!" Zi Yan laughed and looked at the light shield with disdain. She stretched out her little hand straight towards the light shield and reached into the bookshelf without any hindrance, taking out four wooden boxes one after another.

Lin Yuan took the five wooden boxes from Zi Yan, who looked very proud, and opened them one by one, tasting them one by one:

"Benleijian, an intermediate earth-level thunder-attributed martial art; Jingzhe Leifa, an intermediate earth-level fighting skill, a set of fighting skills that can be matched with Benleijian. A set of intermediate earth-level thunder-attributed martial arts and fighting skills, a good item that can be used for trading."

"A seventh-level fire-attribute magic core? This quality and energy is still very high-quality, not bad."

"The soul fusion method, forcibly devouring souls to temporarily increase strength, is somewhat similar to the method used by the Soul Palace. It should be useful when studying the Divine Transformation."

Watching Lin Yuan flipping through the boxes and commenting on them, Zi Yan yawned out of boredom and muttered, "There isn't even a single high-grade herb in the five boxes. Take your time to look through them. I'll go to the front to collect the herbs..."

As she spoke, she took a few storage rings and walked towards the crystal cabinet in the warehouse where medicinal herbs were stored.

Looking at Zi Yan's back, Lin Yuan chuckled, then turned his gaze to the remaining two boxes and took out a fiery red scroll from them, "True Flame Art."

Spreading out the scroll, Lin Yuan carefully read the words on it.

After a while, he closed the scroll, narrowed his eyes slightly, and sighed: "The old demon is a rare research talent. It is not easy to improve the Flame Art to this extent. If he is a fire attribute practitioner, he must have a brighter future. Unfortunately..."

Shaking his head, Lin Yuan put the scroll into the ring, reached out to the last box, and took out a roll of bamboo slips that looked very ordinary.

"Heavenly Demon Puppet!"

With some anticipation, Lin Yuan gently untied the thin string wrapped around the bamboo slips and slowly spread them out. Suddenly, the fine blood-red characters with a bloodthirsty taste were imprinted in his eyes.

"Heavenly Demon Puppet, this method is neither a martial art nor a fighting technique, but a puppet technique that has been passed down from ancient times."

"To refine the Heavenly Demon Puppet, three things must be gathered together: the body, the soul, and the magic core."

"Use the body as a tool, the soul as a guide, the magic core as a heart, and add many other materials to eventually create a demon puppet."

"The demon puppets are divided into three categories: heaven, earth, and man. The difference in level depends on the refining materials and the fire used for refining. They are extremely powerful and have no joy or sadness, no pain or injury. They are truly a killing weapon."

His eyes slowly swept across the blood-red characters on the bamboo slips, and the satisfaction on Lin Yuan's face became more and more intense.

In his storage ring, there are many Dou Zong-level bodies, souls and seventh-level magic cores. With this method of refining the Heavenly Demon Puppets, he will soon be able to mass-produce Dou Zong-level puppets. Combined with the alchemy technique, using Dan Lei to baptize the puppets, it is not impossible to mass-produce Dou Zun.

"The refining of the Heavenly Demon Puppet has a lot to do with the refining fire. It seems like it's time to deal with the Fallen Heart Flame."

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan put the bamboo slips into his storage ring, turned around and looked at Zi Yan, only to see her humming a tune happily while putting the herbs into the storage ring.

So he took out a storage ring and put in the remaining things that helped him.

Looking at the empty storeroom, Lin Yuan and Zi Yan looked at each other and laughed happily, then they turned around and left the secret storeroom...

Soon, two streams of light, one blue and one purple, rose into the air from the Demon Flame Valley and flew towards the inner courtyard of Canaan.
-
In the inner courtyard, there is the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

Two days had passed since the shocking battle. However, the Tianfen Refining Gas Tower, which had been closed during the battle, had not yet been reopened. The academy said that the Tianfen Refining Gas Tower would be overhauled for a month.

At the bottom of the Qi Refining Tower, Su Qian and Lin Yuan stood in front of the seal leading to the sea of ​​magma, looking coldly at the sea of ​​magma below.

In the sea of ​​magma, a huge invisible fire python is lurking.

In just two days, with the replenishment of the nearly infinite fire element energy in the magma sea, it has completely recovered and is no longer in the weak state it was in when it was re-sealed.

A pair of triangular snake pupils, with a strong murderous aura, stared at Lin Yuan and Su Qian before they were sealed.

Especially Lin Yuan. When it looked at Lin Yuan, there was a bit more greed in its snake eyes.

At a certain moment, an old sigh suddenly sounded in this space: "I haven't seen this place for a long time. It really makes me miss it. Old man Qian, don't you think so?"

"Haha!" An old man laughed, "Yeah, I haven't been here for more than ten years..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the figures of the two elders appeared mysteriously beside Lin Yuan.

After a moment, Qianmu withdrew his gaze from the surroundings, looked at the Fallen Heart Flame in the magma sea, and greeted him: "Hey, long time no see, Fallen Heart Flame. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. Do you still remember me?"

A trace of doubt flashed in the Fire Python's eyes. He looked at the people in front of the seal, and then...

"grumble--"

The invisible fire python suddenly raised its head, and an angry and sharp hiss burst out. Its triangular pupils, filled with invisible flames, locked onto the people at the entrance of the deep cave.

It remembered everything. These people in front of it were its enemies, who had sealed it off for nearly a hundred years. The angry fire python slammed its huge body into the magma. Suddenly, the huge body, which was nearly twenty or thirty feet long, rushed up along the deep hole like an invisible lightning, carrying scorching temperature and violent energy.

"It's really a nostalgic scene. It was very difficult for me to deal with it at the time. But now, it's easy for me to stop you."

Bai Lao sneered, raised his hand, and clenched it towards the direction of the cave entrance.

The empty space in front of the energy shield at the cave entrance suddenly twisted slightly, and then quickly turned into a solid space wall.

"Bam—"

The gigantic fire python, with an overwhelming force, slammed heavily into the extremely solid wall of space. The unique rebound force of the wall of space directly bounced it back.

The huge body of the fire python smashed down, causing the magma sea below to churn continuously.

Not long after, the fire python emerged from the lava sea again, still looking at the few people ferociously, but did not attack them again.

On the other side, Bai Lie looked at the fire python hovering above the sea of ​​fire, looking at its ferocious yet helpless eyes, a comfortable expression appeared on his face.

"I got what I wanted. So cool!"

This scene was what he had dreamed of when he was guarding the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

Lin Yuan glanced at the space wall that was not shaking at all, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and he thought to himself: "The space wall used by the peak Dou Zong is indeed powerful. In terms of defense, it is not inferior to the Qinglian Bell I used before."

Qianmu, who was standing aside, stroked his beard and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"As expected of a strange fire, it not only has an infinite lifespan, but also has considerable growth potential. The energy of the Fallen Heart Flame is much stronger now than when I was guarding it. It is indeed time to deal with it."

Thinking of this, Qianmu and Bailie looked at each other, then hid their eyes on Lin Yuan and said, "Lin boy, let's get started when you are ready."

Lin Yuan cupped his hands and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for your help, elders."

"It's just a small thing!"

The two elders waved their hands casually, looked at each other, and two pairs of dry palms slowly stretched out and formed strange seals.

As the two men moved, violent spatial fluctuations spread around them, and the space at the bottom of the tower became distorted, like countless wrinkles, looking crooked and twisted, and the line of sight was directly distorted.

"Congeal!"

Two vicissitudes of life voices were heard, and a space ripple spread out with the two people as the center, and the underlying space turned into layers of space barriers.

The aura of the Fallen Heart Flame was completely isolated at this moment.

"Does this level of blockade meet the requirements? Is it enough to completely isolate it from outside prying eyes?" Qianmu asked.

Lin Yuan carefully sensed it, nodded, and said, "Thank you, elders. This is enough."

Then, he looked at Su Qian and said in a deep voice: "Great Elder, give me the Fire Pot!"

Su Qian nodded, took out a strangely shaped crystal pot from the ring, and handed it to Lin Yuan, "Here, this is the Fire Gathering Pot!"

Lin Yuan took the fire gathering pot, then released the Fallen Heart Flame from his body and gently dropped it into the fire gathering pot.

The fire fell into the fire pot, and a faint temperature rose. Lin Yuan could clearly feel an invisible wave spreading in the air. This invisible wave was exactly what the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower needed...

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, his eyes flashed, "This feels like it might actually work. In any case, it's worth a try."

Then, he had an idea and put the fire gathering pot containing the seed fire into the ring, and then took it out.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan's eyes flashed with joy, "It actually works? Using the Fire Gathering Pot, I can really store the strange fire in the ring."

With a long sigh of relief, Lin Yuan handed the Fire Gathering Pot to Su Qian and said with a smile: "Great Elder, I will leave the fire to you. This way, even if something unexpected happens, it will not affect the operation of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower."

This wisp of Fallen Heart Flame's fire was originally a trick that Lin Yuan intended to use to subdue the Fallen Heart Flame, but it is no longer necessary now.

One year after leaving the academy, his progress even exceeded his expectations.

Now he is strong enough, so the strategy has become extremely simple, just five words - force!

As for this heart flame fire, it can be used to calm everyone's hearts.

Su Qian took the fire pot, looked at the quietly burning fire in the pot, and couldn't help but smile. He sighed softly: "Finally, finally, this long tower guarding work is about to end! Lin Yuan, you better be careful..."

"I understand." Lin Yuan nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "By the way, there is something I want to ask the Great Elder."

"What is it? Tell me straight away."

"I heard you say before that the Fire Gathering Pot was made by a former aide of the academy. Great Elder, please help me find out how it was made."

"Oh? You're actually interested in this?" Su Qian looked at Lin Yuan in surprise, stroked his beard and smiled, "No problem, leave it to me. I remember that he left behind a lot of drawings of ingenious objects before he went out to travel. I'll go look through them later."

"Thank you!" Lin Yuan bowed to Su Qian.

After saying that, he looked at the two elders and said in a deep voice, "I'll trouble you two this time."

"Boy, you're too polite." Bai Lie patted Lin Yuan on the shoulder.

"We heard about the matter of the Zunshi Pill from Su Qian. You, little fellow, are actually helping two old fellows like us to prepare for this matter. Thank you very much! Fortunately, you can help me this time. Otherwise, I would be too embarrassed to take the Zunshi Pill you made in the future."

"Well said." Qianmu nodded.

After a pause, he continued, "You are the hope for Canaan College to move to a higher level. Protecting you is also what we old guys should do."

Hearing this, Lin Yuan scratched his head and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Elders!"

“Haha!” Qianmu waved his hands and said sternly: “For you who are less than 20 years old and can fight against the old demon, this is not a high opinion at all. Let’s go, let us help you conquer the Fallen Heart Flame…”

After saying that, the two elders took Lin Yuan through the space barrier and flew towards the magma sea below.

Soon, three figures landed in front of the huge fire python in the lava sea.

Looking at the huge fire python in front of him, Lin Yuan took a step forward and said, "Fallen Heart Flame, let's continue the battle we started two years ago..."

　I recently re-read the original novel and discovered this setting: Strange Fire cannot be put into the ring, but if you put the young Fallen Heart Flame into the Fire Pot, you can put it into the ring.
