Chapter 82: Chapter 82: It''s Your Turn, Mao Wu!

    ?

    "A battlefield?"

    Xiao Yan furrowed his brow, realizing the situation was more complex than it appeared.

    According to the records in the Heavenly Flame Ranking, the Ten Thousand Beast Flame was born from the spiritual energy of countless deceased magical beasts combined with their collective wishes. The conditions for its creation indeed required a place where magical beasts had perished in large numbers.

    However, having recently absorbed a small portion of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, Xiao Yan sensed that its creation was not that simple.

    If a war that claimed countless magical beast lives could produce the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, then it would be too easy for such a flame to be born. Moreover, the conditions listed in the Heavenly Flame Ranking were not just one; it was the condensed wishes of the guardian magical beasts that truly formed the Ten Thousand Beast Flame.

    ''There''s only one answer then-the Ten Thousand Beast Flame in the Beast Tomb is not newly born.'' Xiao Yan quickly concluded in his mind.

    "The Ten Thousand Beast Flame is the heritage flame of our Magic Beast Mountain Range, controlled by successive generations of Magical Beast Lords. Every decade, we hold a Spirit Flame Body Tempering Convention, where magical beasts of all ranks compete. The victor receives the baptism of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame," the Amethyst Winged Lion King revealed. This secret was unknown to Xiao Yan, and even Little Fairy Doctor, who had lived in Qingshan Town for years, had never heard of it.

    It made sense though; if the Magic Beast Mountain Range truly possessed the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, it would undoubtedly belong to the magical beasts. With numerous Beast Emperors and an unbroken mountain range abundant with medicinal herbs and spiritual fruits, the presence of Rank 7 magical beasts was not surprising.

    "Did the Lion King obtain the wisp of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame from the Spirit Flame Body Tempering Convention?" Xiao Yan asked curiously.

    The Amethyst Winged Lion King shook its head. "The Spirit Flame Body Tempering Convention ended three hundred years ago due to that war."

    Xiao Yan finally grasped the whole picture as the Amethyst Winged Lion King continued its narration.

    The Ten Thousand Beast Flame had always been in the possession of the magical beasts of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, controlled by the strongest of each generation. It was precisely because of this flame that the magical beasts of the Magic Beast Mountain Range had always been exceptionally powerful.

    All surrounding empires and sects, including the Jia Ma Empire, dared not encroach upon their territory.

    The possession of something as precious as the Amethyst Lion Birth Essence was testament enough to the impact of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame on magical beasts.

    However, three centuries ago, a 7th-tier alchemist discovered the existence of the Ten Thousand Beast Flame and sought to seize it. This alchemist ultimately enlisted three elite Dou Ancestors and planned to forcefully take the Ten Thousand Beast Spiritual Flame from the peak Rank 7 magical beast who was the lord of the Magic Beast Mountain Range.

    A single 7th-tier alchemist was enough to ignite a war between humans and magical beasts!

    Xiao Yan felt a chill run through him as he realized the immense influence wielded by alchemists. Especially the high-tier alchemists, a single high-tier medicinal pill from them could make an entire sect serve at their behest.

    It should be noted that even the Misty Cloud Sect did not have an elite Dou Ancestor at present!

    Ultimately, the peak Rank 7 lord of the Magic Beast Mountain Range, faced with the onslaught of a 7th-tier alchemist and three Dou Ancestors, fought desperately and dragged the 7th-tier alchemist into the Ten Thousand Beast Flame, resulting in their mutual destruction.T/his chapter is updat/ed by

    This war also led to the Ten Thousand Beast Flame being tainted by the resentful aura of the battle''s vengeful spirits, rendering it unusable for tempering the bodies of magical beasts. Over the past three centuries, Rank 7 magical beasts had journeyed to the Beast Tomb, intending to inherit the Ten Thousand Beast Flame. However, the contaminated flame, now imbued with the resentment of humans who had perished tragically in the war, could not be refined at all.

    Furthermore, the countless vengeful spirits from that war transformed the area into what was now known as the Beast Tomb, a place so perilous that even approaching it was extremely difficult for ordinary magical beasts.

    "Oh, and Lion King! Please bring the medicinal cauldron from your cave''s treasure vault as well. Lend it to me for a while! Mine just happened to break!" Xiao Yan shouted skyward. During his earlier infiltration of the cave, he had spotted a tier 5 alchemy cauldron in the treasure vault and had wanted to steal it, but there hadn''t been enough time.

    The Amethyst Winged Lion King abruptly halted mid-air upon hearing this. Well, well, even the alchemy cauldron had to be provided by it!

    Xiao Yan was only responsible for refining the pill, while the Amethyst Winged Lion King had to gather the ingredients for the Sunflame Pill itself.

    A person with the strength of a Dou Master was actually able to command a Rank 6 magical beast. One could imagine how great the magic word ''alchemist'' was.

    The smile on Xiao Yan''s face quickly faded as he watched the Amethyst Winged Lion King fly away. The information brought by the Amethyst Winged Lion King this time was definitely a

    huge opportunity for him.

    However, the slightest misstep could lead to irreversible disaster.

    With his palm facing upward, Mao Wu jumped out from the void and stood on his palm.

    Compared to a few months ago, Mao Wu had grown somewhat, and the black flame fur

    covering its body had become denser.

    "Mao Wu, our success or failure this time depends on you."

    Meow~ (==)

    Possessing the Nihility Devouring Flame, capable of devouring everything, was the source of

    Xiao Yan''s confidence in daring to go to the Beast Tomb.

    Mao Wu''s ability to devour the beast resentment within the Monster Cores and grow stronger

    was the most effective means to purify the contaminated Ten Thousand Beast Flame.

    It possessed this ability.

    The only thing worrying Xiao Yan was that Mao Wu was still too weak. This Seed Flame had

    come into existence merely half a year ago, and whether it could devour the pollution was still

    unknown.

    "Nihility Devouring Flame, ranked second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, let me see your

    true power!"
