As soon as someone raised their hand to grab the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, everyone present was surprised.

Yan Shilin and Qin Xingyuan also snorted coldly, a mocking smile appearing on their faces.

The Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire is not ordinary, anyone daring to grasp it barehanded would likely be turned to ashes in an instant.

However, just as Yan Shilin and Qin Xingyuan's smiles were about to unfold, they froze immediately on their faces.

Because they noticed that not only did the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire not turn the person into ashes, it was instead happily dancing on that person's palm.

"What's going on?"

"Could it be that a Saint Tier senior has descended?"

Amidst the exclamations of countless people, everyone looked up to see the person.

And upon seeing, everyone was shocked, because the one holding the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire was actually the ordinary man barbecuing earlier.

At this moment, everyone struggled to recall and finally remembered that this person seemed to be named Wang Yan.

Seeing Wang Yan so easily grasp the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, both Yan Shilin and Qin Xingyuan frowned, showing puzzlement.

However, a moment later, they both dismissed it.

Wang Yan was just an ordinary man; naturally, he posed no threat to the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, which is why it landed in his hands without attacking.

Having rationalized this explanation, Yan Shilin and his companions looked at Wang Yan once again with disdain.

Even now, Yan Shilin and others still paid no heed to Wang Yan. Holding the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire seemed like mere luck in their eyes.

With a chilly expression, Qin Xingyuan said coldly to Wang Yan, "Kid, hand the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire over to me."

Saying this, Qin Xingyuan raised the Flame Core Shield in his hand towards Wang Yan.

Yan Shilin, however, smiled slightly and said to Wang Yan, "Friend, why not give me the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire? I promise to take you to Mozi Academy. You can start as a servant, and if you can develop Demon Patterns one day, you may become an official student."

Upon hearing that Yan Shilin intended to take Wang Yan to Mozi Academy, the other Demon Cultivators couldn't help but exclaim.

Although starting as a servant, just entering Mozi Academy was an unparalleled honor, and indeed, it might lead to becoming an official student someday.

At that time, like Yan Shilin, they would walk under the enormous halo of Mozi Academy.

At this moment, everyone thought to themselves,

"If it were me, I would definitely give it to Yan Shilin, after all, the opportunity to enter Mozi Academy."

"But if you don't give it to Qin Xingyuan, you would offend the Outer Guan Qin Family. The Qin Family is not one to tolerate disrespect."

The dozens of Demon Cultivators were tensely staring at Wang Yan, sweat even trickling down their foreheads.

While these dozens of Demon Cultivators were so nervous, Wang Yan, on the other hand, looked extremely relaxed.

He raised his right hand, letting the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire dance between his fingers and palm, seeming to enjoy it, constantly flicking his fingers, treating the fire as a toy.

Wang Yan was so focused on playing that he entirely ignored Yan Shilin and Qin Xingyuan.

Qin Xingyuan, from the Outer Guan Qin Family, was highly esteemed among the Demon Cultivators, always revered wherever he went, never encountered being ignored.

Right then, Qin Xingyuan angrily shouted, "Did you not hear me!?"

But Yan Shilin only smiled faintly, saying, "Qin, do not scare our friend. Wang Yan, you should hand the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire to me. I will definitely protect you."

At this point, Wang Yan finally raised his head, shifting his gaze from the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, glancing at Yan Shilin and Qin Xingyuan, and said, "This Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire is mine, why should I give it to you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xingyuan became utterly enraged: "You bastard, what makes you think this Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire is yours?"

Wang Yan once again smiled faintly, saying, "Earlier, you both mentioned, the one with virtue owns it. Now that it's in my hand, of course, it's mine."

Seeing Wang Yan dare to speak with such tone to two Demon Emperors, the dozens of Demon Cultivators behind gasped in shock.

Yan Shilin might not recklessly kill being from Mozi Academy, but the Outer Guan Qin Family was resolute, likely to kill an ordinary man without hesitation.

Indeed, Qin Xingyuan's face grew cold, murderous intent flashing in his eyes, saying, "Fine, then by virtue shall I claim it."

Saying this, Qin Xingyuan swiftly charged towards Wang Yan fiercely.

Witnessing this, Yan Shilin slightly smiled, saying, "Wang Yan, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Upon saying this, Yan Shilin also advanced towards Wang Yan.

As Qin Xingyuan rushed towards Wang Yan, he continually observed Yan Shilin. Seeing him approach, Qin Xingyuan snorted coldly, waved his right hand, sending out a Power of Demon Patterns towards Yan Shilin.

Meanwhile, Qin Xingyuan didn't slow down, his left hand holding the Flame Core Shield, aiming at the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire in Wang Yan's hand.

In Qin Xingyuan's eyes, he didn't even consider Wang Yan.

Seeing Qin Xingyuan release a Power of Demon Patterns to obstruct himself, Yan Shilin casually sent out a matching Power of Demon Patterns to face Qin Xingyuan's.

The two Powers of Demon Patterns collided with a booming sound, exploding and dissipating simultaneously.

Qin Xingyuan's expression turned cold, waving his right hand repeatedly, unleashing Power of Demon Patterns towards Yan Shilin.

Similarly, Yan Shilin waved his right hand, continuously dissolving the Power of Demon Patterns.

The two Powers of Demon Patterns clashed in the air repeatedly, scattering and exploding, sending shock waves either soaring into the sky or crashing to the ground, kicking up dust.

The scene between them was a continuous explosion, dust rising, engulfing the entire space.

Though neither exerted full strength, merely casual strikes, as Demon Emperor Powerhouses, the distant dozens of Demon Cultivators were compelled by the shock waves, retreating repeatedly.

Except for a few Demon Kings, others retreated a hundred meters away, barely managing to stand firm.

Yan Shilin and Qin Xingyuan were nearly evenly matched, neither able to best the other, advancing together, reaching Wang Yan simultaneously.

With his left hand, Qin Xingyuan's Flame Core Shield swept down, enveloping both Wang Yan and the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire.

The Flame Core Shield was extremely aggressive; once an ordinary person was enveloped, it meant death or injury, yet Qin Xingyuan didn't care, as long as he could seize the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, one or two ordinary deaths didn't matter.

While attempting to grasp the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, Qin Xingyuan's right hand struck towards Yan Shilin to prevent any interference.

Although Yan Shilin said he would help Wang Yan, at the crucial moment of competing for the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire, he had no strength to spare to assist Wang Yan.

Thus, Yan Shilin's left hand struck forward to meet Qin Xingyuan's right palm, simultaneously the Chen Yin Divine Mirror shimmered, aiming at the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire.

A loud "bang" resounded; where their palms met, a shock wave burst forth, sweeping up yellow sands, radiating outward.

The dozens of Demon Cultivators behind hastily raised their arms to shield against the sand, squinting towards Yan Shilin and Qin Xingyuan.

Everyone wanted to know, in this battle between titans, who finally seized the Heaven and Earth's Strange Fire.
