Chapter 1579: Chapter 1570: Utter Annihilation

In the Earth Profound Realm, Mystical Martial Arts are exceedingly rare.

So much so that in the entire Earth Profound Realm, those who have comprehended Mystical Martial Arts can be counted on ten fingers.

These Mystical Martial Arts are ever-changing. For example, those who comprehend Phoenix Essence can develop various Combat Techniques.

Similarly, there are some Combat Techniques specifically prepared for those who have comprehended Mystical Martial Arts. Even if ordinary cultivators learn these techniques, they cannot bring out their full power. Only those who have understood Mystical Martial Arts can truly unleash the full power of these Combat Techniques.

These Combat Techniques, prepared specifically for those who comprehend Mystical Arts, are called Profound Techniques.

However, Profound Techniques have long been lost in the Earth Profound Realm, and those who have comprehended Mystical Martial Arts in the Earth Profound Realm only have a partial understanding of them.

The types of Mystical Martial Arts are extremely numerous. The Phoenix Essence comprehended by Ye Chenfeng is considered a type of Mythical Beast Essence. This category also includes Black Tortoise Essence, Vermilion Bird Essence, Azure Dragon Essence, White Tiger Essence, and many others.

Of course, besides Mythical Beast Essences, there are also Five Elements Essences, such as Gold Essence, Wood Essence, Water Essence, and more.

Apart from Mythical Beast Essence and Five Elements Essence, there are many other categories of Essences.

Although the types of Mystical Martial Arts are numerous, they are extremely difficult to comprehend. Generally, only those with exceptionally outstanding talent can comprehend Mystical Martial Arts.

Both Old White Wu Fengxian and Old Black Jiang Yuntian, when they were alive, had comprehended their own Essences. However, it took them a considerable amount of time to do so. But Ye Chenfeng succeeded seemingly effortlessly in comprehending Phoenix Essence?

Moreover, when Old White and Old Black were alive, they were influential figures, each comprehending more than one Essence.

In the era of Old White and Old Black, they were the only ones who had comprehended five Essences. The geniuses of their time, at most, had only comprehended four Essences.

Ye Chenfeng also learned about Mystical Martial Arts from the mouths of Old White and Old Black. He sensed that there was indeed a trace of phoenix aura within him. This should be the Phoenix Essence he had comprehended.

But when Ye Chenfeng wanted to mobilize the Phoenix Essence on its own, he was unable to do so no matter what. He could only incorporate the Phoenix Essence into the Fire Sword Intent when performing it.

“Old White, Old Black, why can’t I mobilize the Phoenix Essence on its own?” Ye Chenfeng couldn’t help but ask.

This time, Old White Wu Fengxian answered, “Young one, Mystical Martial Arts are quite complex. With your current strength, don’t spend time trying to study the Phoenix Essence. Being able to integrate the Phoenix Essence into the Fire Sword Intent and perform it is already enough for you now. We’ll teach you how to use Essences in the future. For now, the most important thing is to quickly enhance your strength.”

Hearing this from Old White Wu Fengxian, Ye Chenfeng found it very reasonable. Looking at the Meteoric Flame Sword in his hand, he suddenly noticed a lifelike phoenix pattern on the sword hilt that had appeared out of nowhere.

Ye Chenfeng remembered clearly that when he took the Meteoric Flame Sword from the lava, this pattern wasn’t on the hilt. It appeared out of nowhere after he comprehended the Phoenix Essence.

Ye Chenfeng knew that the Ten-thousand-year Meteoric Flame was formed by soaking in the blood of a Fire Phoenix and a Fire Qilin. Since he was able to comprehend Phoenix Essence from it, could he also comprehend Qilin Essence?

Ye Chenfeng closed his eyes and began to sense the Qilin aura within the Meteoric Flame Sword, but he couldn’t feel a trace of Qilin aura at all.

Old Black Jiang Yuntian naturally guessed Ye Chenfeng’s thoughts. He said impatiently, “Boy, do you think Mystical Martial Arts are so easy to comprehend? Phoenix Essence is considered quite high-level, and Qilin Essence is also very high-level.”

“Being able to comprehend Phoenix Essence is an epiphany and a great blessing for you. Do you think Mystical Martial Arts are like cabbages on the street?”

Actually, there was a thought Old Black Jiang Yuntian kept to himself: if Ye Chenfeng could continuously comprehend two high-level Essences, Old Black might really feel like hitting his head against a wall. When he and Old White were alive, they were top talents. But the more they compared themselves to Ye Chenfeng, the more they felt that the title of top talents from back then was really worthless.

Ye Chenfeng, for the time being, could not sense the Qilin aura within the Meteoric Flame Sword, so he decided to give up on the idea of comprehending Qilin Essence for now.

The move that fused Phoenix Essence and Second-tier Fire Sword Intent, combined with the Meteoric Flame Sword, finally helped Ye Chenfeng understand why a mere Second-tier Fire Sword Intent could be about three times stronger than a Third-tier Frosty Sword Intent.

Holding the Meteoric Flame Sword in his right hand, Ye Chenfeng muttered, “From now on, I’ll call this move Phoenix Spreading Wings.”

Then, Ye Chenfeng murmured, “Seems like I’ll need to comprehend some kind of Dragon Essence in the future! Otherwise, Dragon Soars Nine Heavens will really be an empty boast.”

Old White and Old Black could only smile bitterly at this. It seems Ye Chenfeng really thought of Mystical Martial Arts as street cabbage? Even thinks about Dragon Essence!

Whether it was Azure Dragon Essence, Fire Dragon Essence, Ice Dragon Essence, or any series of Dragon Essences, any Dragon Essence was even more high-end than Phoenix Essence and Qilin Essence.

Three Fire Element Fruits, each around fifty thousand years old, were also stored into the Chaos Ring. Fire Sword Intent was comprehended, the Meteoric Flame Sword was successfully forged, and Ye Chenfeng also comprehended the Phoenix Essence here.

For being trapped in this underground chamber, Ye Chenfeng thought it was worthwhile.

It was now time to leave. Ye Chenfeng asked, “Old White, Old Black, how do I seal the lava here? Otherwise, the red flames in the Flame Cavern will definitely not extinguish themselves, right?”

Old White Wu Fengxian said, “Young one, don’t worry. I’ve already used my Divine Sense to check over this chamber. Go to the right side of the chamber. There should be a mechanism on the right wall. Based on my analysis of this chamber, that mechanism should be able to temporarily seal the lava here.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenfeng went to the right wall. After fumbling around for a while, he found the mechanism Old White had mentioned. He forcefully pressed a slightly protruding stone on the wall.

Immediately after, the temperature of the hot lava in the surrounding channels of the chamber began to rapidly diminish.

Very soon, the temperature in the entire chamber significantly decreased.

As the temperature of the lava in the channels continuously decreased, the red flames in the Flame Cavern also quickly disappeared.

…

At this moment.

Outside the Flame Cavern.

The night sky was illuminated by a flawless full moon.

Initially, the ancestors of the Red Flame Sect, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an, planned to wait outside the Flame Cavern.

Meanwhile, the Misty Cloud Array was temporarily guarded by the Sect Master Zhao Lengfeng of the Red Flame Sect.

But then Zhao Lengfeng hurriedly came to inform Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an of something.

Thus, the two old men didn’t see the red flames in the Flame Cavern extinguishing, as they left hastily with Zhao Lengfeng.

…

At this moment.

Outside the Red Flame Sect.

Inside a wooden house at the forest’s edge.

Through a Crystal Ball inside the wooden house, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an clearly saw someone breaking into the Misty Cloud Array.

Those breaking into the Misty Cloud Array were the Poison King Feng Guangshan, the ancients from the Wind Thunder Sect, Sword Feather Villa’s Fan Zhiyong, and Star Cloud Sect’s Xie Zhenglong, as well as the traitor Wu Dongyuan, Wu Li, and Wu Nan of the Red Flame Sect.

Of course, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an recognized Feng Guangshan and the others. Through the Crystal Ball, they saw that Feng Guangshan and the others seemed to be following something.

Upon closely observing the Crystal Ball, Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an couldn’t help but exclaim, “Sky Gold Rat? They actually have the extinct beast, Sky Gold Rat?”

Zeng Guangyuan and Qian Rong’an also knew the function of the Sky Gold Rat.

Every time a full moon night occurs.

When the moonlight shines on the Sky Gold Rat, it undergoes mutation, causing its sense of smell to increase by hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand times.

By letting the mutated Sky Gold Rat sniff Wu Dongyuan’s scent, which must linger in many places within the Red Flame Sect, the Sky Gold Rat can capture all these traces.

Following the Sky Gold Rat, Feng Guangshan and the others wouldn’t get trapped in the Misty Cloud Array.

A previously unseen gravity appeared on Qian Rong’an’s face as he said, “Wind Thunder Sect, Sword Feather Villa, and Star Cloud Sect must have planned this for a long time. They definitely want more than just the Dragon Bone Token.”

Next to him, Zeng Guangyuan frowned, continuing the thought, “They want to wipe out our Red Flame Sect completely!”
