Chapter 351: Chapter 349: Threat
Jiang Chen’s Cultivation broke through to the Martial Master Third Heaven.
And yet, he continued to absorb the Black Fire released by the Black Fire Spark.
The Blazing Fire Technique was still suppressing the restless Black Fire Spark.
BOOM!
Martial Master Fourth Heaven.
Jiang Chen was overjoyed.
Absorbing the Black Fire had pushed his Cultivation straight to the Martial Master Fourth Heaven.
This time, so many Martial Cultivators, and even Demon Beasts, had coveted the Black Fire.
The Flame Dragon and the Black Fire Crow both wanted to use the Black Fire to break through in their Cultivation. The Black Fire was powerful enough to let them reach the Martial Emperor Realm, which just went to show how incredible it was.
Wen Shixuan was an Alchemist. His goal in obtaining the Black Fire was similar to Jiang Chen’s: to improve his Alchemy Skill. With the Black Fire, he could even enhance the quality of the Elixirs he refined.
’I’m so furious!’
’Brat, that Black Fire will be mine sooner or later.’
The Black Fire Crow roared internally. It prized the Black Fire above all else.
After being trapped for five hundred years, for the Black Fire to be taken by someone else... its mood was utterly foul.
It hated Jiang Chen to the bone.
But the Flame Dragon was always working against it, making its eyes burn red with fury.
’I’ll break through to the Martial Master Fifth Heaven.’
Jiang Chen realized that despite his successive breakthroughs, the Black Fire within him was still extremely violent. His advances in Cultivation were not enough to suppress it.
BOOM!
The Black Fire surged once more.
Jiang Chen’s face paled.
’Dammit, this Black Fire is unexpectedly hard to control.’
The Black Fire’s violence kept intensifying. He hadn’t absorbed much of it, yet it had already propelled his Cultivation through three levels.
In order to suppress the Black Fire, Jiang Chen kept breaking through. This time, he gritted his teeth and abruptly absorbed even more of the Black Fire.
BOOM!
A roar echoed from within his body.
The Black Fire erupted in an instant.
Before Jiang Chen could absorb it, the Black Fire was already engulfing his body.
Black Fire was burning all over him.
This caused the people on the eighth floor below to tremble in shock.
"Burn him to death, burn him to death."
"He can’t be allowed to get the Black Fire!"
Countless people were thinking the same thing.
’This is the Black Fire’s final eruption.’
Jiang Chen understood that the Black Fire Spark was also going all out.
As the Black Fire burned, Jiang Chen could feel the damage it was inflicting on him.
PTUI!
Facing the ferocious Black Fire, Jiang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, his face grew even paler, completely drained of color.
The situation spun out of control for a moment.
’I refuse to believe I can’t suppress you.’
Jiang Chen was genuinely getting angry. He absolutely could not let up.
He pushed the Blazing Fire Technique to its limit, simultaneously operating the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique to absorb Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and suppress the Black Fire.
"Martial Master Fifth Heaven, break for me!"
He suddenly let out a great roar.
In that instant, he absorbed all of the Black Fire at once.
BOOM!
His Cultivation broke through almost instantly, reaching the Martial Master Fifth Heaven.
With his Cultivation breakthrough, the power within Jiang Chen’s body skyrocketed.
As a result, the Black Fire inside him actually diminished.
By now, Jiang Chen found that breaking through again would be somewhat difficult.
Therefore, he couldn’t absorb much more of the Black Fire.
Because his breakthrough in Cultivation had greatly increased his power, he channeled his strength into the Blazing Fire Technique to suppress the Black Fire.
RUMBLE!
The power of the Blazing Fire Technique suddenly surged, and in one move, it suppressed the Black Fire Spark.
The Black Fire Spark completely stopped fluctuating.
Jiang Chen was overjoyed.
He immediately activated the Blazing Fire Technique, continuously forcing the remaining Black Fire within his body to be devoured by the Black Fire Spark.
After all, having stray Black Fire in his body was a huge hidden danger.
He naturally couldn’t let any of it remain; he had to force it all into the Black Fire Spark.
SWISH SWISH SWISH...
Under Jiang Chen’s pressure, the Black Fire was finally routed and completely forced into the Black Fire Spark.
It was thoroughly suppressed.
At this, Jiang Chen let out a long sigh of relief.
Subduing the Black Fire had been troublesome, but in the end, he had succeeded.
Not only had his Cultivation broken through, but he had also obtained the Black Fire Spark.
He was in a great mood.
"Hahaha, very good."
Jiang Chen laughed heartily.
As he opened his eyes, streaks of black light flashed within them, followed by flickers of fiery red light.
Inside his body, he possessed not only the Black Fire but also the Vermilion Bird Fire.
However, he couldn’t wield the Vermilion Bird Fire yet, because the Vermilion Bird within him had not become a true Vermilion Bird Divine Beast; it was currently just a phantom.
Once he could visualize the Vermilion Bird and coalesce it into a tangible form, making it a true Vermilion Bird Divine Beast, he would then possess another type of Fire of Heaven and Earth: the true Vermilion Bird Fire.
But it would still take a very long time for the Vermilion Bird inside him to solidify and for the Vermilion Bird Divine Beast to be born.
Now that he had subdued the Black Fire Spark, a thought flashed through Jiang Chen’s mind. With a flash of black light, the Black Fire Spark appeared in his hand.
He held the Black Fire Spark, a satisfied smile on his face.
He immediately raised his hand, extended a finger, and forced out a drop of blood.
DRIP!
The drop of blood immediately fell onto the Black Fire Spark.
Having subdued the Black Fire, Jiang Chen now had to perform a blood-binding ritual. In addition, he had to imprint his Spiritual Qi onto it to make the Black Fire completely his.
Once the blood-binding was complete and he had imprinted his Spiritual Qi, no one else would ever be able to snatch the Black Fire away.
Seeing Jiang Chen’s actions, the Black Fire Crow below flew into a rage.
It flew into a thunderous rage. Its pitch-black body was wreathed in black flames—its own Pill Fire.
It shrieked at Jiang Chen, "Brat, stop!"
Jiang Chen glanced coolly at the Black Fire Crow, knowing that this Demon Beast’s Cultivation was close to the Martial Emperor Realm.
He asked in annoyance, "What about it?"
The Black Fire Crow shrieked, "Hand over the Black Fire Spark to me, and I will spare your life."
"Otherwise, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth, I will destroy you and take the Black Fire!"
It threatened Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen sneered, "Such big words. Be careful, or I might just subdue you and make you my mount."
What?
Hearing Jiang Chen’s words, the Black Fire Crow trembled with even greater rage.
Its feathers rustled violently.
Jiang Chen had actually said he would subdue it and make it his mount.
To the crow, this was a colossal humiliation.
"Damn you, human brat! You’re dead!"
"Even if you hand over the Black Fire now, I will still kill you!"
To the Black Fire Crow, Jiang Chen was simply insulting it.
It could not tolerate this.
"Shut up, you ugly crow."
"Don’t bother me."
Jiang Chen completely ignored the Black Fire Crow. Although he knew how powerful it was, he paid it no mind.
Wen Shixuan grew anxious as well.
He shouted, "Brat, I am the Crown Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom! You should be well aware of my kingdom’s strength."
"Just give me the Black Fire, and I guarantee your lifelong safety. No one will dare to harm you."
He was promising benefits, this being the third time he had tried to persuade Jiang Chen with kind words.
"You... you should worry about saving your own skin before you go making grand promises."
Jiang Chen was even more disdainful.
His blood dripped onto the Black Fire Spark, which immediately absorbed it.
A faint connection formed between it and Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen was slightly thrilled.
Now, he just needed to nurture the Black Fire within his body, and it would naturally become imbued with his own Spiritual Qi.
"Retrieve!"
He pointed a finger at the spot between his eyebrows. The Black Fire Spark immediately vanished from there, reappearing within Jiang Chen’s sea of consciousness.
It transformed into a flame, burning quietly.
The Black Fire Spark would continuously generate Black Fire.
