Chapter 1528: Chapter 629: Nine-Fire Refines Cloud Material (Part 2)
In the seats of the three factions, everyone’s expressions changed.
Qiu Lei of the Territorial Expansion Alliance was full of dread and said in a deep voice, "Using the void as a furnace, this is the true skill of the Nine Fire Dragon Lord!"
You Yunshou was silent, only staring at the piece of constantly tumbling white cloud within the furnace.
"In the furnace," Yun Wuji was in danger.
The entire space was being refined.
The Cloud Skin Substitute had just appeared and was thinned by the Pill Fire. The Flowing Cloud Shadow had just scattered and was pierced by the True Fire. Even the Cloud Unloading Force could not completely dissolve the nine fires in the furnace, because the nine fires were not a single heavy force, but rather layers of nine kinds of fire control pressing together.
Yun Wuji’s Hidden Cloud Sleeve was scorched to a deep red.
The Cloud Step tread by the Traceless Cloud Shoes grew shorter and shorter.
The Fog Heart Jade Pendant flashed violently with white light, the heart within almost transparent from the firelight.
The Nine Fire Dragon Lord floated in the high sky with arms crossed, looking down with eyes full of pride.
"Refine!"
The Nine Fires Combined Furnace suddenly contracted.
The white clouds in the clear sky were compressed into a mass, like a Cloud Pill forcibly refined.
Thunder, dragon roars, furnace rumbles, and wind whistling intertwined into a deafening roar.
The spectator cloud seats outside the protective light screen fluctuated unsteadily, and the cultivators from Nanming Village, the Territorial Expansion Alliance, and White Cloud Village held their breath.
Yun Wuji looked up, the firelight reflecting in his pale pupils.
Cloud Rain Transformation!
The white cloud within the furnace suddenly turned to rain.
The raindrops were fine as Silver Needles, threading through the gaps of the Wood Fire, avoiding the blast points of the Thunder Fire. The rain hit the furnace wall, instantly steaming into white mist. The white mist drilled into the Pill Fire vortex, causing the Pill Fire to appear with a half breath delay. The mist reformed into clouds, carrying Yun Wuji out from under the pressing Dragon Fire.
The Nine Fire Dragon Lord sneered, "How many times can you transform?"
He urged the furnace fire once more.
Yun Wuji’s Daoist robe was charred in large patches, the Hidden Cloud Sleeve had a corner burned off, and the White Cloud Banner had deepening cracks. Yet each time his cloud sea was thinned by refining, he withdrew the residual clouds into his sleeve, each time transforming into rain, squeezing new mist from the fire.
Ning Zhuo watched without blinking.
Chun Yangzi’s expression turned solemn, he noticed: Yun Wuji was continually avoiding the enemy’s sharp edge, preserving his vital strength!
Each time the Nine Fire Dragon Lord adjusted the fire, Yun Wuji did not confront it directly, but rather changed his own form: cloud burned by fire transformed into rain. Rain evaporated back into mist. Mist thinned by refining returned to the sleeve. The cloud Qi within the sleeve unfolded again, reforming into clouds.
The Nine Fire Dragon Lord controlled the nine fires, while Yun Wuji utilized the changes of the Cloud Path, contending with the nine fires.
The Nine Fire Dragon Lord showed signs of impatience. At this moment he could feel deeply: he wished to use this battlefield as a furnace to refine the enemy, but Yun Wuji was like an elusive medicinal ingredient, causing the Nine Fire Dragon Lord’s tactics to repeatedly fail.
"Slippery!" The Nine Fire Dragon Lord clearly held the advantage, yet he was always a fraction short.
And this missing fraction caused the fire qi in his heart to accumulate ever more heavily.
The nine Fire Dragon Patterns on the Nine Dragons Burning Heaven Robe all burst into dazzling light.
The Ten Thousand Scale Fire Armor appeared on his chest and arms, each Red Gold Scale Pattern spraying sparks like a small furnace.
The Nine Orifice Furnace Heart Pendant vibrated vigorously, with nine fire lines crossing his chest, forcibly stabilizing the Nine Fires Combined Furnace!
The Nine Fires Combined Furnace Technique was extremely powerful, but at the same time, it consumed a great deal of energy.
Suddenly, Yun Wuji activated Leisurely Cloud Returning to the Peak!
Within the Nine Fires Combined Furnace, the Scattered Clouds, Broken Mist, Rain Marks, and Cloud Skin Residue all gathered back into the Hidden Cloud Sleeve.
The cloud Qi in the furnace flowed back like thousands of white birds into the forest, passing through the gaps of the nine fires. The furnace suddenly emptied, and the Nine Fires Combined Furnace Technique lost its target.
The Nine Orifice Furnace Heart Pendant on the Nine Fire Dragon Lord’s chest shook violently.
The furnace’s virtual image slightly tilted.
Yun Wuji seized the moment, using White Cloud Stepping to break out of the furnace edge.
The Nine Fire Dragon Lord shouted with anger and raised his hand to pursue.
Thus began an aerial chase.
Yun Wuji retreated while spreading clouds.
The Inconstant Cloud Curtain overshadowed the clear sky.
Flowing Cloud Shadow diverted the Spiritual Fire.
The Cloud Skin Substitute bore the Dragon Claw.
Cloud Unloading Force dispersed the Thunder Fire.
Cloud-Winding Sleeve held the Mystic Flame Dragon Claw Ring for half a breath...
White Cloud Stepping dodged the Pill Fire Soul Lock...
Gathering and Dispersing in One Breath overflowed from the fire net...
Yun Wuji looked increasingly battered, his injuries accumulating and worsening.
The Nine Fire Dragon Lord’s aura was overpowering, his attacks were dazzling, pressing Yun Wuji to the point where he couldn’t catch his breath. The Fire Dragon Pattern on the Nine Dragons Burning Heaven Robe glowed too intensely, the Nine Orifice Furnace Heart Pendant’s tremors were frequent all along, and over time, even the Nine Fire Dragon Lord’s breathing became heavy.
"Are you only capable of running away?!" The Nine Fire Dragon Lord grew more irritated.
Yun Wuji formed out of a patch of residual clouds, blood already faintly staining his lips, the Hidden Cloud Sleeve destroyed on one side, the grey and white Daoist robe was charred in many places: "Dragon Lord, are you out of tricks?"
The Nine Fire Dragon Lord suddenly exhaled a breath, no longer suppressing his already restless dragon nature.
He raised his head and let out a long roar.
As the roar began, the clear sky changed color.
The Red Gold Robe suddenly swelled, nine fire dragon patterns emerged from the robe, wildly swirling around him. The Ten Thousand Scale Fire Armor flipped outward piece by piece, transforming into genuine dragon scales. His arms elongated, his hands turned into claws, his back arched, fiery red hair turned into a blazing mane. Horns grew on his forehead, and his eyes ignited with vertical pupils.
Bang!
The Nine Fire Dragon Lord transformed into his original dragon form.
It was a red gold fire dragon.
The dragon’s massive body stretched across the sky, its scales like forged red gold, the edge of each dragon scale flickering with different fire colors. Earth Fire floated beneath its belly, Wood Fire produced green flames around its beard, Thunder Fire exploded around its dragon claws, Heart Fire hid deep in its dragon eyes, True Fire illuminated its dragon horns, Pill Fire coiled in its dragon belly, Spiritual Fire entwined its dragon tail, Demon Fire lay in the scale seams, and Dragon Fire soared from the entire dragon body.
The Clear Sky Martial Arts Arena’s Jiaoyang paled at this moment, seemingly turned into a Dragon Ball, held up by the fire dragon’s body.
The red gold dragon body circled the sun, the dragon’s roar shook the heavens! The protective curtain vibrated violently, the cloud seats of the three viewing parties sank several feet under the pressure of dragon might.
Chun Yangzi’s expression grew solemn.
Ning Zhuo’s heart was equally struck by intense shock. It was his first time witnessing a Nascent Soul Demon Cultivator reveal their full form so directly. Such a combination of physical body, mana, bloodline, and fire control erupted with power, completely different from a humanoid duel!
The Nine Fire Dragon Lord forcibly gathered the nine fires with his dragon body to perform Dragon Fire Pressing Down.
The giant dragon head swooped down from beneath Jiaoyang, the entire red gold fire dragon, bearing nine-colored flames, roared down towards the Cloud Domain where Yun Wuji was.
The remaining white clouds in the clear sky shattered under the dragon’s might, the sea of clouds squeezed into thin white lines.
Yun Wuji lost all composure.
He retreated with all his might, burst back.
The White Cloud Banner spun before him, its surface cracked open.
The Hidden Cloud Sleeve desperately spewed out Cloud Qi, but as soon as it was expelled, it was crushed by Dragon Fire.
The Fog Heart Jade Pendant shone with bright white light, protecting a thread of his consciousness during dispersal.
The Traceless Cloud Shoes stepped continuously in the air, each step crushing a patch of cloud.
He used Cloud Skin Substitute.
One layer, two layers, three layers.
Even three layers of cloud skin were burned through in an instant when illuminated by Dragon Fire.
He performed Cloud Rain Transformation.
Clouds turned to rain, rain became mist, mist returned to clouds.
But the charge of the red gold dragon body was too powerful, the mist barely formed before being torn apart by the dragon claw.
He used Cloud Unloading Force.
Layers of white clouds stood in front of the dragon’s head, first sunken, then spinning, trying to disperse the force of Dragon Fire Pressing Down. But this time, with the fire dragon itself present, all nine fires burning, Cloud Unloading Force could only diminish part of the momentum, the remaining pressure still overwhelming.
Bang!
Dragon Fire descended.
A red gold fire sun exploded in the clear sky.
The intense light pierced the eyes of the crowd in the three viewing areas, causing them to squint. The array patterns on the protective curtain lit up densely, the cloud seats below the spectators rolled violently, as if about to be flipped away by fire waves in the next moment.
The brilliance of the explosion rapidly dissipated, a huge void was blasted out at Yun Wuji’s location.
All Cloud Qi was completely burned away!
The clear sky became bright again.
The Nine Fire Dragon Lord’s massive dragon body spiraled in the sky, its dragon scales shimmering, its dragon beard burning, its intimidating might astounding.
Yun Wuji did not leave the boundaries, he reformed his figure at the edge of the field.
The grey and white Daoist robe nearly destroyed on one side, Hidden Cloud Sleeve charred black, White Cloud Banner broken, Fog Heart Jade Pendant full of intricate patterns. Blood finally dripped from his lips, barely falling before being evaporated into faint blood fog by surrounding residual fire.
He was in utter disarray, yet still within the scene.
Ning Zhuo’s pupils contracted slightly: "Evaded? How did he evade?"
The Nine Fire Dragon Lord missed a stroke, the dragon body spiraling in the clear sky, breathing heavily.
