Miracle Throne Chapter 113

Chapter 113: Fusing with the Netherworld Flame

This several hundred year old grand character had been killed by the sword of an unknown youth who was only at the 1st Awakened Soul Layer.  He had completely jumped levels to fight someone and it wasn't a small jump.

Was this still a person?

He was simply a monster!

When their beautiful dreams had been shattered!

These rogue cultivators' face all turned white as they lost their will to fight.  They all quickly ran away from the fight in fear.

Lin Mu loudly roared, "Where are you running!"

Chu Tian shouted, "Do not pursue a desperate foe, forget about it!"

This motley group of people, Chu Tian did not care about them.  Moreover, Lin Mu and Fang Han's spirit energy were about to be exhausted.

"Brother, I've never admired anyone in my life, you are definitely the first person!"  Lin Mu said with an excited face, "You killed that demon and the Yellow Stone City mayor Yan Wuyang, it is truly a huge accomplishment!  You'll definitely become famous!"

Become famous?

Forget about that!

To a person like me, becoming famous is too easy.  Rather, it is being low key that is hard to accomplish!

"Don't be happy too early."  Fang Ha knit his brows and said, "The Black Wind Stronghold is filled with Yan Wuyang's men, we're still not out of trouble yet."

"What is there to be afraid of?  We'll just fight our way out!"  Lin Mu looked over at Chu Tian, "Brother, what do you think?"

"Leaving like this is too simple!"  Chu Tian shook his head and said, "We were cheated by the old fool and almost lost our lives, shouldn't we take some interest?"

As if they had suddenly realized something, their eyes swept across their surroundings.  The floor was filled with gold and silver, equipments, and materials.  There was a rich atmosphere and a glow came from the treasures.

If this fell into a normal person's hands, it would be enough for them to live a life without worry!

Even if an Awakened Soul expert obtained this, it could still be considered a large treasure!

The little fox deftly jumped out and disappeared in a mass of fog.  Its head appeared from a pile of resources the next second and its claws were holding onto a spirit fruit as it gnawed at it with great interest.

The spirit fruit was twice the size of its body and was finished off in just three-four seconds.  The little fox did not seem to grow at all.

Lin Mu and Fang Han were shocked.

What kind of little beast was this?

That strange teleporting technique and its incredible appetite, people couldn't help looking at it with admiration.

At this moment, the sound of fighting rang out from above them.  The rogue cultivators that had just fled had begun fighting with the Black Wind Bandits.  These bandits had discovered that something had happened and had to attack.

"You guys take the Branch Lord's body and Yan Wuyang's head over.  Once that motley group sees these two things, their morale will definitely suffer a blow!"

"Good decision!"

The Black Wind Bandits were mostly made up of Yan Wuyang's soldiers and had followed the blood person with Yan Wuyang, that was how they learned the demon art.  When they saw that Yan Wuyang and even the mysterious Branch Lord had been killed, they would know that they had failed and their morale would collapse.

Then they just had to take out another few leaders.

They would scatter and flee.  Even if a few remained, the remaining people wouldn't be a threat.

Lin Mu and Fang Han brought people to leave, but Chu Tian chose not to participate in the slaughter.  He first ate a few pills and recovered his spirit energy.  He searched through the large pile of treasures for the thing he wanted.

"I've found it!"

He opened a large box with the Tianchen Commerce's logo printed on top.

A bunch of square shaped crystal medicine boxes, neatly placed together.  Each box contained a piece of black and white herb that was surrounded in a flame aura, like the herb itself was burning.

Nether Flame Grass, a yin attributed grass that grew in places rich in yin qi.

The Nether Flame Grass contained a powerful flame energy and the flame energy was filled with yin aura, this caused the flame to have a corrosive poison.  If a normal person came close to it, they would not likely be able to escape.

This material could be used in refining equipment, alchemy, and forming arrays.

Although the Nether Flame Grass wasn't a several hundred year old Elixir, but just like the meteor grass, it lived in a very harsh environment.  It was hard to manually cultivate it, so it was considered a rare herb.

The Nether Flame Grass was a level 2 material and was a level higher than the meteor grass, so the price was much higher.  Each piece was worth five-six hundred gold coins which was around the price of a level 1 Elixir!

"This is great!"

"I'm lucky these things are still here!"

The box was specially made, not only could it protect the herb, there were runes engraved that could prevent its energy from leaking out.  It made sure that people wouldn't be poisoned by the Nether Flame Grass.  There were several big boxes filled with Nether Flame Grass, there was more than a thousand pieces.

The Spirit King's core had decreased by two thirds and the thousand year Netherworld Ghost Flame was very weak right now.  It seemed like it was about to be extinguished.

He was right on time!

If he was late by another day or two, the precious spirit flame would have disappeared!

The Netherworld Flame was something very valuable, not to mention this one had been refined by the Spirit King for over a thousand years.  This meant that there was a thousand year's worth of spiritual qi inside the Netherworld Ghost Flame!

How valuable was it?  It was not any inferior to the Netherworld Sword!

There were traces of Netherworld Ghost Flame on the Spirit Bead, slowly peeling off.

Chu Tian protected his body with starlight as he prevented himself from making contact with the fire and being burned by it.

This mass of blue and white flame was about the size of a fingernail, was slowly beating in the center of his palm.  It gave a strong ghostly howl as a dark and frightening aura spilled out.

The flame was not very hot, rather it was ice cold.

Because the Netherworld Flame was a cold flame, it was not good at burning material, but it was very good at burning energy.  Theoretically, it could provide protection from any kind of enemy spirit energy or cultivation technique.

After the Spirit King had refined it for a thousand years, the Netherworld Flame was infused with spiritual energy and its corrosive powers became much stronger.  Although it didn't have the ability to burn material, it could still easily corrode common material.  The Fire Seed possessed a special spiritual energy that could interfere with an opponent's spirit.

Being able to corrode materials, burning energy, and disturbing an opponent’s spirit, a three layered attack against matter, energy, and spirit.  It was very powerful!

"First, let's subdue it!"

Chu Tian's palm began to glow as large amounts of spirit energy began to seep into the Netherworld Flame.  The originally faint flame began to violently beat a few times.

The Netherworld Ghost Flame had only been born a few days ago, so it had a very weak consciousness.  It was resisting out of instinct.

This was just a futile effort!

The Netherworld Flame was too weak.  It was on the brink of being extinguished, how could it have the strength to resist Chu Tian?  Other than pledging its allegiance, it had no other choices!

The spirit energy seeped inside of the flame and took over the ghost flame's core.  It was just like a normal soul contracting spirit weapon.  He had a firm control over the Netherworld Ghost Flame.

This mass of blue and white flame was connected to Chu Tian's mind, moving around freely.  It lingered around his fingertips, making sure that it avoided harming its master.

Chu Tian nodded in satisfaction, "This is a good treasure!"

The Netherworld Ghost Flame was a kind of natural treasure.  This so called natural treasure was something formed by the world itself.  There was no need to further refine or process it, it was a kind of treasure that could be directly used.

For example, there was a thing in the natural world called the Void Gourd.  It was naturally born with a space inside so it could be used as a storage treasure.

There were many similar things.

Chu Tian didn't find it that surprising.

The Netherworld Ghost Flame Seed had just been activated and the newborn flame was very weak, there was the possibility of it extinguishing at any minute.  To make it stronger, he could only continue to feed it.

The Netherworld Flame couldn't be strengthened with just any kind of materials.  To cultivate the Netherworld Flame, it wasn't just that the material had to be full of energy, rather the Netherworld Flame required a certain attributed energy.

The Nether Flame Grass was one of those materials!

"Go!"

The Netherworld Ghost Flame fell off his finger and landed on the crystal medicine boxes.  Just like a strong acid had fallen on it, dark green burn marks began to form.  Just like passing through cardboard, a small hole appeared on top of the crystal medicine box.

The Ghost Flame snuck into the medicine box and enveloped a piece of Nether Flame Grass.

The herb began to wither.  Large amounts of dark red energy flowed from the herb and were completely absorbed by the Netherworld Ghost Flame.

After swallowing a piece of Nether Flame Grass, the flame began to shine brighter.

The Netherworld Ghost Flame divided in two and burned through two crystal medicine boxes, then it absorbed two herbs.  It once again divided into four parts and then absorbed four pieces of Nether Flame Grass.

In a quarter of an hour!

The thousand pieces of Nether Flame Grass had all been absorbed by the Ghost Flame!

"Good, good, good!"

"This flame is really strong!"

Under the control of his mind, there were hundreds of blue and white little flames floating in the air, each the size of a fingernail.

Chu Tian put his hands together.

The countless glowing points gathered together and concentrated into a large fireball.  The blue and white flames burned, but there was no heat that came from it, rather it made people feel cold.

Normal people did not even need to mention resisting it.  Once they looked at the fireball, their hearts would palpitate and they would even see terrifying illusions.  The cold dead aura was incredibly terrifying!

"Such a large fireball would attract too much attention!"  Chu Tian controlled the fireball as he revealed an awkward expression, "I don't have a fire source spirit or practice a fire cultivation technique, where do I put this?"

With a natural fire source spirit, the spirit fire could fuse with his body.

Mo Yan practiced a kind of flame controlling cultivation technique, the flame could go through his cultivation technique and be stored in his meridians.

Chu Tian did not have a fire source spirit or practice a flame controlling cultivation technique.  The Netherworld Ghost Flame was like a weapon for him, but it was a very special weapon and couldn't be stored in normal containers.

"Zhi!"

The little fox was busily gnawing on a piece of ginseng as it stretched out its little claw and pointed at the Netherworld Sword.

Chu Tian asked in surprise, "You mean to store it in the sword?"

The small fox gave a confirmation with its little claw.

When Chu Tian had first received the Netherworld Sword, wasn't the sword spirit of the Netherworld Sword a burning monster?  Perhaps the Netherworld Sword and the Netherworld Flame were the same life form and had been separated afterwards.

"Let's give it a try!"

The Netherworld Sword entered the flame.

As if the Netherworld Flame met some attractive force, it was immediately drawn in and fused with the Netherworld Sword.  The sword began to glow brighter as it bloomed with blue and white light.  Flames spilled out from it as it revealed the aura of a newborn life form.

Not only was the Netherworld Sword not corroded, its aura became stronger.

"So it's like this!  This sword's spirit was the Netherworld Flame!"  Chu Tian gently wielded the sword as flames covered the sword.  He revealed a surprised expression, "This natural spirit treasure can also be a weapon spirit?  This kind of ancient weapon refining technology truly has its good points!"

After the Netherworld Ghost Flame fused with the Netherworld Sword.

A mysterious consciousness came from the Netherworld Sword and gave Chu Tian some insight.  At the same time, a mysterious energy seeped from the sword into Chu Tian's body.

The God Demon's Sword was excited!

Chu Tian could clearly feel his cultivation growing stronger!

This was truly interesting.  Chu Tian raised the fire, the fire raised the sword, the sword raised the person, and then the human raised the flame.  Man, sword, flame, three bodies in one, this was the essence of the «Netherworld Flame Sword»!

"He!"

Chu Tian waved his hand.

A cold blade swept across the void, as line of lights began to shine.  A ray of sword qi burst forward, passing through a main hall pillar.  It actually cut through the pillar and slammed into the wall, creating a large fissure.

Chu Tian was scared by the might of his own sword qi!

Even if it was a 2nd Layer Awakened Soul Cultivator, he still wouldn't be able to resist!

This was just sword qi that Chu Tian had casually sent out.  In other words, it was a random attack Chu Tian had made, yet it was already strong enough to threaten a 2nd Layer Awakened Soul Cultivator!

Why was it this strong?

Not to mention the casual strike of a 1st Layer Awakened Soul Cultivator, even with a full powered strike, it would be hard for them to break through the spirit energy protection of a 2nd Layer Awakened Soul Cultivator.  At most they could heavily injure one, but they could never threaten their lives.

This was caused by three main aspects.

First was the source spirit.  Chu Tian's Demon God's Sword Source Spirit contained great bursts of power which helped him increase his swordsmanship.

Second was his weapon.  The Netherworld Spirit Sword was a soul contracting spirit weapon.  Although it had been unused for many years, its might had not decreased.  After it fused with the Netherworld Ghost Flame, its strength soared to a very shocking level.

Third was his sword art.  This was something that anyone who practiced the sword required.  The «Netherworld Flame Sword» had strong explosive strength.  Strange and variable, it was suited for assassinations.

Good!

Very good!

Chu Tian's battle strength had just been increased by several times!

Now if he wanted to fight with that random Heavenly Demon Branch Lord, even without the little fox's help, he could still fight with him!

That's right!

Where was the little fox?

Chu Tian was so busy gaining insights that he had forgotten about the little fox.  When he looked over at the pile of medicine, it was completely gone.

A cute little fox was sitting on the ground, rubbing its full belly.  It gave a burp and lied down in a comfortable position.  It had a look of satisfaction on its face.

"Fuck!"

"This is a joke!"

"It ate all of it!"

"You family ruining fox!"  Chu Tian ran over and grabbed onto the little fox's ear as he ruthlessly lifted it up, "You've eaten father's several million gold coins!"

The little fox did not feel any guilt.  It stretched out its little claws and made an ugly face at him.

So what if this little fox ate all of it?

If you have the skills then come and hit me!

Chu Tian suddenly filled with anger, "See how I'll teach you!"

Would he really hit me?

The little fox trembled in fright.  He knew his master wasn't someone easy to deal with as he quickly began to gesture a few times.

"What?  There are still treasures here?"

The little fox was pointing at the pool of blood and Chu Tian looked over at it.  The place that Heavenly Demon Branch Lord was recovering, were there good things hidden inside?
