Supreme Sword God

Chapter 749 748: Second Firebrand Awakening, Battle with Di Lie!

Ye Chen's Taiyin Fire Control Technique was the Supreme Skill for controlling flames.

Now it seemed that the Taiyan Immortal Sect behind him also came from the previous era of the world.

Ye Chen's power operated through the Taiyin Fire Control Technique, sweeping out and falling into the black Destruction Spirit Flame, aiming to absorb it into his body.

But Di Lie's methods were also quite extraordinary.

He was born with a Nine Yang Dao Body, the Ultimate Venerable of fire, surrounded by nine blazing suns, unleashing a terrifying pulling force on the Destruction Spirit Flame.

The powers of the two formed a very obvious tug-of-war!

Neither was willing to yield!

On the path of cultivation, one must fight for everything!

This was not about the strength of power, but about who had greater control over the flame.

The black Destruction Spirit Flame gradually drew closer to Ye Chen.

Di Lie frowned deeply, letting out a low roar, the nine blazing suns rotated, emitting a rumbling sound, pulling the Destruction Spirit Flame back toward his direction.

Ye Chen's eyes flashed with brilliance. He gritted his teeth fiercely, and a large amount of ancient clan essence surged out crazily, covering the Destruction Spirit Flame, pulling it towards himself again!

Di Lie's throat emitted a low growl, waves of scorching air swept out from the nine blazing suns.

"Boom!"

Suddenly.

A violent explosion sounded.

The mass of Destruction Spirit Flame was directly torn into two by the forces of Ye Chen and Di Lie.

Di Lie opened his mouth and inhaled.

Half of the Destruction Spirit Flame entered his mouth.

Ye Chen reached out and grabbed, seizing the other half of the Destruction Spirit Flame in his hand.

Di Lie's whole body was instantly engulfed by the black flame; the Destruction Spirit Flame rampaged within him, trying to burst out.

And Ye Chen's hand holding half of the Destruction Spirit Flame was also enduring the terrifying power burn.

Di Lie shouted loudly, retreated sharply, sat cross-legged, circulated his power, and prepared to forcefully refine half of the Destruction Spirit Flame first.

Once he refined half, he would be confident enough to snatch the remaining half from Ye Chen!

Ye Chen had the same idea, sitting cross-legged, operating the Taiyin Fire Control Technique, going all out to refine it!

The black flame, strand by strand, drilled into Ye Chen's body, causing immense damage to his body.

But fortunately, a large amount of ancient clan essence was constantly repairing the internal injuries.

"Buzz!"

The First-Turn Taiyan Fire Seal in the Dantian vibrated, unleashing a terrifying pulling force, absorbing the Destruction Spirit Flame that entered Ye Chen's body, transforming it into the Second-Turn Fire Seal form!

In the field.

It became extremely quiet.

No one made a sound, even though both were enduring great pain, they gritted their teeth and held on.

Half an hour, an hour... Unconsciously, two hours passed.

Suddenly.

A rumbling echoed from within Ye Chen.

Then, a special flame mark appeared in front of Ye Chen.

The originally crimson-golden First-Turn Fire Seal was now enshrouded with a wisp of black flame, exuding a destructive aura.

"Collect!"

Ye Chen softly commanded.

The flame seal, fused with half of the Destruction Spirit Flame, vibrated intensely.

The remaining half of the Destruction Spirit Flame within Di Lie immediately broke through his control, surged out, and merged into Ye Chen's flame seal.

Di Lie's face turned pale, and he looked utterly exhausted, supporting himself with both hands on the ground, looking up at Ye Chen.

There was no resentment.

Only... unwillingness!

Failed nevertheless!

Ye Chen continued absorbing the Destruction Spirit Flame, merging it into the flame seal.

The power of the Second-Turn Taiyan Fire Seal became increasingly strong, causing the sword energy within Ye Chen to enter a terrifying boil!

The sword energy, which had been continuously compressed and refined, became even stronger!

After more than half an hour passed.

The Destruction Spirit Flame completely merged into Ye Chen's flame seal.

The complete Second-Turn Taiyan Fire Seal, primarily rich black, intermixed with parts of crimson and faint golden light.

Ye Chen focused his mind, channeling the power of the Fire Seal into his Dantian.

"Boom!"

The aura around him surged, and his Cultivation Realm broke through to the Unity Realm Tenth Layer in one fell swoop!

Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked at Di Lie in front of him, saying, "Thank you!"

Di Lie seemed domineering, but he had been quite courteous earlier.

During the struggle for the Destruction Spirit Flame, Di Lie failed, but he respected the rules.

Otherwise, during the time Ye Chen was refining the remaining half of the Destruction Spirit Flame, Di Lie could have easily interfered from the sidelines!

But Di Lie only watched silently from the side.

Di Lie said, "My skills aren't as good as yours. Indeed, I cannot refine the Destruction Spirit Flame—this is my fourth attempt. It seems that my inability to ascend to the Nine Yang Divine Body is destined."

Ye Chen: "This thing can help you ascend to a Divine Body?"

In Bloodline Martial Dao, a First-Grade Bloodline is referred to as a Dao Body.

Above a Dao Body is a Divine Body, and above that, an Immortal Body...

Ye Chen felt that a Dao Body with a First-Grade Bloodline was already incredibly powerful. The might of a Divine Body was beyond imagination.

Di Lie was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm not certain, but there's a chance. After all, my Nine Yang Dao Body is the top-tier First-Grade Bloodline. As long as I break through the shackles, I can ascend to a Divine Body at any time."

If he were just an ordinary First-Grade Bloodline, there wouldn't be much to be fixated on.

But being the top-tier First-Grade Bloodline naturally created endless anticipation for the higher Divine Body.

"Don't worry, if it can't happen now, it might later," Ye Chen comforted.

Di Lie shook his head and said, "Once I step into the Dharma Realm, I'll have no more chances. I've intentionally stayed in the Heaven-Reaching Realm; it's becoming hard to contain my cultivation."

Ye Chen's eyes flickered as he said, "I can try to help you!"

"How would you help?"

Ye Chen grinned and said, "My Taiyan Fire Seal is stronger than the Destruction Spirit Flame, right? After all, the Destruction Spirit Flame is currently just a part of the Taiyan Fire Seal.

If I use the Taiyan Fire Seal to enhance your origin, your chances of ascending to the Nine Yang Divine Body are much higher than simply refining the Destruction Spirit Flame!"

Di Lie's mouth curled into a bitter smile, "What I need is the flame's origin..."

"Simple! I'll share some of the Taiyan Fire Seal's origin with you!" Ye Chen said offhandedly.

Di Lie: "..."

"It's a small matter!" Ye Chen said casually, "Of course, I can't give too much all at once; it has to be bit by bit. After all, giving too much all at once would hurt me as well..."

"Can you really do it?" Di Lie looked deeply moved.

"I really can," Ye Chen replied earnestly.

When refining the Red Flame Spirit Flame before, that's how it was done. First, he gave a large portion of the Red Flame Spirit Flame's origin to the Little Phoenix to help with its inherent deficiencies.

Then Ye Chen used the Secret Technique of the Taiyin Fire Control Technique to nurture the remaining Red Flame Spirit Flame origin with ancient clan origin.

Of course, saying he couldn't give too much at once was just a casual statement.

He could choose not to give any at all; how much to give was his decision!

This Di Lie is pretty decent. If he can be brought out... even just a First-Grade Nine Yang Dao Body is formidable enough.

If he ascends to a Divine Body, he'd be incredibly powerful!

More importantly, if Di Lie is brought out and then ascends to a Divine Body... communication with the people here would be much easier!

Ye Chen didn't want to rely on the Mad Old Man's connections.

After all, he might not be the Mad Old Man's chosen one, and the Mad Old Man's aura clings to him persistently... it's no wonder it never fades—he holds the Mad Old Man's true body!

Thus, giving a bit of the Taiyan Fire Seal's origin to Di Lie was part of his plan to coax Di Lie into leaving with him.

"I can start by giving you a little now," Ye Chen said.

Di Lie was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's have a match first. You're very strong; I want to experience the power of this era.

If you give me the Fire Seal's origin first, your strength will be impaired, and even if I win, it wouldn't be honorable.

Moreover, if you give me the Fire Seal's origin, I wouldn't feel right defeating you."

Ye Chen: "..."

What an honest guy!

"Alright, let's do it then!"

Di Lie said seriously, "Even though you'll give me the Fire Seal's origin later, I won't hold back. I'll fight with all my strength."

Ye Chen grinned and said, "Don't worry, even if you beat me, I'll still give you the Fire Seal's origin. I'm not petty. You'll find out about my reputation for being broad-minded and magnanimous once you get out there."

Di Lie's eyes flashed with anticipation, but he quickly suppressed his desire to leave and shouted, "Take this!"

As he spoke, Di Lie launched a punch at Ye Chen.

Nine blazing suns erupted simultaneously with Di Lie's punch, causing a tremendous roar and a wave of heat.

It was an overwhelming and terrifying display!
