Chapter 1130: Chapter 1130: The Power of the Fire Clan Bloodline
Xiao Yi looked at the surrounding flames, his face showing shock.
He had just habitually conjured a flame casually.
Normally, this flame would just linger in his hand.
But now, it swept across thousands of meters, with its power a hundredfold increased.
Moreover, this eruption happened unintentionally, with just a flick of his hand.
What is Fire Control Ability? It is the mastery, manipulation, and command of fire.
The same flame, the same power, in the hands of an ordinary Martial Artist, is but a small ball of fire.
However, in the hands of an immensely powerful Fire Control Warrior, this small flame can transform into a vast Fire Sea, extending boundlessly, with astounding power.
This is the difference in the strength of Fire Control Ability.
Undoubtedly, Xiao Yi was now the latter.
"No wonder Huo’er used to say my Fire Control Technique was clumsy." Xiao Yi couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.
He had always been immensely confident in his Fire Control.
But now, he truly witnessed what a powerful Fire Control Ability is.
His previous self seemed more like an ordinary Martial Artist.
"Is this the Primordial Fire and Bloodline Power of the Fire Clan?" Xiao Yi muttered in surprise.
As time passed, he could increasingly feel that inexplicable force within his body.
His blood carried an inexplicable sense of heat.
If he guessed right, this was the Bloodline Power of the Fire Clan.
It wasn’t that his blood had turned into that of the Fire Clan; his bloodline was still his own.
It could only be said that his ordinary bloodline now possessed a new ability, which was the Fire Control Ability of the Fire Clan.
"Bloodline Power, huh. I never thought I would have it." Xiao Yi smiled, not overly joyful about it.
In the Central Region, bloodline is one of the manifestations of a Martial Artist’s talent.
Just like during the assessment at the Heavenly Hidden Academy, where Sikong Yu had the Yukong Bloodline, and Fang Shushu had the Seven Apertures Vein, and so on.
Those with bloodlines are undoubtedly the Heavenly Talents of the contemporary era, with ancestors who had reached Cultivation heights as high as the heavens.
Hence, bloodline has become one of the criteria for determining how far a Martial Artist can go on their Martial Arts Dao.
However, Xiao Yi scoffed at this.
These so-called criteria, these so-called talent judgments, were nothing but a joke.
Bang... Xiao Yi once again conjured a flame.
The flame once more swept and ravaged, rampantly rampaging in an instant.
"Compress for me," Xiao Yi lowly commanded.
The originally rampant flame gradually compressed, gradually gathering from a vast range into his hand.
The flame seemed to heed his command.
"Indeed impressive," Xiao Yi gazed at the flame in his hand, "However, to get used to and completely control such astonishing Fire Control Ability is not an easy task."
"Still, the strength boost is incredibly terrifying."
Since reaching the Heavenly Extreme Realm, he had hardly trained in the Fire Control Skill, focusing wholeheartedly on perfecting his Sword Dao.
Therefore, in terms of strength, his Sword Dao had long overshadowed the Fire Control Skill by a great margin.
Especially after achieving a breakthrough in the Star Illusion Inheritance and mastering five thousand strands of starlight, his Sword Dao strength far surpassed his own Cultivation.
But now, with the Bloodline Power of the Fire Clan, the strength of his Fire Control Skill suddenly grew substantially out of thin air.
At the very least, in Xiao Yi’s comparison, the Fire Control strength at this moment was by no means lesser than his Sword Dao strength.
Xiao Yi dispersed the flame in his hand, then a flash of light in his hand, and he took out that small Crystal Bottle once again.
Within the bottle, that drop of golden liquid was brilliantly shining.
Xiao Yi gently sensed it, clearly feeling the terrifying power contained inside.
"The Fire Essence Marrow must have been condensed by someone from the Fire Clan."
"To compress and refine the flame to this level requires a Fire Control Ability far beyond my imagination."
Xiao Yi secretly made a comparison.
The more Xiao Yi felt the terrifying Fire Control Ability of the Fire Clan.
He couldn’t help but imagine what level of strength he could unleash once he completely adapted to this Bloodline Power of the Fire Clan.
Nevertheless, this thought only lasted for a few seconds.
This Primordial Fire, this Bloodline Power, he would eventually return to Huo’er.
No matter what, he would think of a way to extract it and would certainly find the Fire Clan in the future.
Nonetheless, he didn’t feel any regret at all.
As he said before, the so-called standards for determining talent, the so-called bloodline, Martial Soul, Taoist Body, etc., were just jokes.
He believed more that the Martial Arts Dao still relied on his own hands.
His Martial Soul was just the Fire Control Beast; though its tier kept rising, it always restricted his Fire Control Ability.
Yet even so, it didn’t matter. He still managed, by his skill, to master and manipulate many powerful worldly flames, even fusing them together.
Even the Fire Clan, although they are natural Fire Control experts, who among them dares to say they can one hundred percent master the mightiest flames of the universe, and not just one kind?
Xiao Yi, although lacking a natural extraordinary Fire Control talent, each time he absorbed and mastered a new powerful flame, it was a life-and-death struggle.
Yet he accomplished all of this regardless.
"Fire Control Ability may be a given talent, but it still requires personal honing and improvement," Xiao Yi said with a confident smile.
"Perhaps, I should start perfecting my Fire Control Skill."
"As for this Fire Essence Marrow," Xiao Yi smiled knowingly, "since it’s a gift from Huo’er, I’ll keep it."
"I have plenty of life-saving items; one more won’t make a difference."
With that said, Xiao Yi retrieved the Crystal Bottle in his hand.
Thinking of Huo’er, Xiao Yi’s face suddenly blushed, then it turned a bit grim.
When he first met Huo’er, he nearly lost control of his mind due to such a loss of composure; it was indeed very embarrassing.
However, embarrassment was a minor concern; the most important thing was that this served as a warning bell for Xiao Yi.
If the person he met earlier wasn’t Huo’er but an enemy,
being so emotionally entranced could have gotten him killed a hundred times over.
The Fire Clan, though seldom encountered, and stories or records about them are scarce,
in this vast world where anything can happen, who can guarantee that there won’t be others with similar abilities?
What if the next time, he encounters an enemy?
Xiao Yi absolutely didn’t believe there’s a means in this world that can make someone’s mind go astray one hundred percent.
The only possibility was that he was too weak.
If his Cultivation was high enough, if his Martial Arts Level was high enough, if his Sword Heart was steadfast enough, no matter if it was his first time meeting Huo’er, he would surely not lose control of his mind.
"The Fire Control Skill needs perfecting, but the Sword Dao can’t fall behind either," Xiao Yi thought to himself.
Among the myriad Martial Arts in the world, only the Sword Dao, the Dao Heart is called Sword Heart.
The Sword Heart can cut through Heart Demons and guard the mind; it is the most solid Dao Heart like a rock.
"In future Martial Arts cultivation, perfecting both paths will surely be more troublesome and difficult." Xiao Yi muttered to himself.
"However, it’s more challenging, just as I wish."
Xiao Yi glanced around, then took out the Star Illusion Gloves.
The Star Illusion Gloves were now much repaired, definitely not weaker than other low-grade Holy Devices.
If he wants them completely restored, it still might take some time, no rush just yet.
"Disappear." Xiao Yi commanded in a low voice.
The Star Illusion Gloves in his hand instantly transformed into starlight, condensing in his palm.
When desired, they could be materialized into shape.
The power of a Holy Artifact is not ordinary; this is merely one way of using it.
Xiao Yi glanced at the starlight pattern in his palm, smiled, then the Purple Flame Fire Wings flapped, and he instantly flew through the air away.
...
