Childe Wildfire and Feng Baxing appeared at a distance of 100 meters just like others.
But they didn't waste any time in waiting and attacked directly.
~SHUA~
Feng Baxing used his hand to create a vortex that surrounded him like a protective barrier while Childe Wildlife slapped out with his palms, sending out fiery palm imprints that threatened to burn Feng Baxing.
But before the palm imprints even reached him, the spinning winds around Feng Baxing stopped them.
~WHOOSH~
The winds churned and erased the palm imprints into nothing.
"Are you just gonna stay hidden in your barrier like before?" Childe Wildfire scoffed. "You did the same last time as well."
"If you can't even touch me, your words are worthless." Feng Baxing replied without caring for his opponent.
Instead, he just raised his hands and slashed out, creating blades of wind that flew towards Childe Wildfire with deadly precision.
Childe Wildfire clapped his hands together, creating a wall of fire that managed to block the wind. But that wasn't all as he spun around to kick, sending a thick arc of fire that lashed out on the wind barrier.
~BOOM~
The fire arc and barrier collided, creating a large explosion. Feng Baxing narrowed his eyes, as he could feel the top layer of the barrier actually eroding away from Childe Wildfire's attack.
"So you've improved…" Feng Baxing could see the power that wasn't what he had experienced before.
"More than you. Wanna see?" Childe Wildfire said before a wave of Qi spread out from him.
~WHOOSH~
The wave of Qi directly rocked the barrier of wind and pushed Feng Baxing back. At the same time, a searing heat could be felt coming from Childe Wildfire's body as he started to glow in a red light.
The people in the audience instantly realized what had just happened.
"Six… Sixth… SIXTH TRIBULATION STAGE OF THE IMMORTAL REALM!" someone shouted.
"Childe Wildfire has reached the Six Tribulation Stage! How is this possible?"
"Wasn't he just at the Fifth Stage earlier?" People wondered. "When did he break through?"
Childe Wildfire has successfully hidden his cultivation base from every one, with only Lin Mu knowing it. This ended up catching Feng Baxing off guard.
He frowned a little before taking out a fan from his Spatial Storage.
"Looks like I'll have to take you seriously," He said before opening the Fan.
The fan looked like it was made out of large feathers, but it was unknown what beast it belonged to.
Still, a few keen eyes in the audience seem to recognize it.
"Shearing Hurricane Fan! It's actually the Shearing Hurricane Fan!"
"Isn't that supposed to be kept in the treasury?"
"Heavens! Did the emperor gave the third Prince the Fan?"
It was clear that the Fan was, rather well known.
"What's that?" A young man sitting in the audience asked the person beside him. "Is it something famous, uncle?"
"Of course! It is one of the treasured weapons of the Imperial family. It is a peak grade Immortal Weapon and is made from the feathers of the Great Hurricane Falcon.
It is said that the Former Emperor of the Dao Wind Empire hunted down a Seventh Tribulation Stage Great Hurricane Falcon that was causing troubles in the empire. After killing it, the corpse of the Great Hurricane Falcon was refined into materials that were later turned into Immortal weapons." The uncle explained.
"Wait… you mean to say there are more of them?" the young man was surprised.
"Of course. The corpse was enough to make three Immortal Weapons. The Hurricane Covering Parasol that is the personal weapon of Emperor Feng. The Shearing Hurricane Fan that the Third Prince is using and the Hundred Feathered Hurricane Daggers." The uncle answered.
"Are all of them Peak Immortal Grade Weapons?" The young man wondered.
After all, Peak Grade immortal grade weapons were quite limited in number and not everyone could see them. Not only did they need valuable resources to make, but also needed to be nurtured for a long time to reach their full potential.
"No, out of the three, only the Hurricane Covering Parasol and the Shearing Hurricane Fan are Peak Grade Immortal weapons. The Hundred Fettered Hurricane Daggers are high Grade Immortal weapons though." The uncle explained.
~BOOM~
Their attention was quickly pulled back to the fight as another large explosion took place.
But unlike the previous ones, this one wasn't due to fire. Instead, it was Feng Baxing who had done it.
The Shearing Hurricane Fan in his hand glowed in an azure light and emanated strong Immortal Qi waves. If there were people with weak cultivation bases present here, they would pass out simply from the pressure and not even the attacks.
But that wasn't all, as Wind Dao Traces could also be felt at the same time, the Shearing Hurricane Fan gleaming with them.
Feng Baxing swung the fan, creating a gale that directly blasted away all that was in front of him. Childe Wildfire was forced back for five hundred meters, while the land was devastated, leaving a long gully that was twenty meters deep and a hundred meters wide!
~GASP~
The audience that saw it could tell that attack was something they would never be able to go up against.
"So you're gonna rely on that weapon huh… Looks like I finally forced your hand." Childe Wildfire smirked, not minding at all that his opponent still seemed to be holding up against him.
Instead, Childe Wildfire brought his palms in front of his Chest.
"You're not the only one who has a weapon!" Childe Wildlife said as a small orb rose from his chest.
The orb was red in color and orange flames were burning around it.
It was small, but strong Fire Dao Traces could be felt from it.
"Is that… A Dao Embryo?" The people wondered.
"It really is!"
"Anyone know what Dao Embryo it is?" Childe Wildfire's Dao Embryo seemed to be rather rare.
A few elders in the audience tried to guess, but it wasn't something they could recognize.
Only one person ended up recognizing it and that was none other than Lin Mu.
"Scorch Sun Ruby Dao Embryo… so he actually has that…" Lin Mu muttered in surprise.
His companions heard it and wondered what that was.
"You recognize the Dao Embryo, Brother Mu Lin?" Ming Aolian asked.
"I do… it is one of the rarer Dao Embryos of the Fire Dao." Lin Mu replied.
"What's special about it?" Lu Xu asked, not knowing much.
"If I recall correctly, it allows one to use the Scorching Sun Flames. They are several times stronger than normal flames and can melt stone and steel with ease." Lin Mu explained.
"What makes them stand out from other flames, though?" Luo Liqin asked. "There are many fire Dao Embryos after all. All of them can melt things." He wondered.
"The intensity of the Scorching Sun Flames is so strong that even its user isn't free from its effects. If one is careless, they could very well end up burning themselves to death." Lin Mu explained, shocking his companions.
~gasp~
"It is such a dangerous flame that if one managed to make the Scorching Sun Ruby Dao Embryo, they cannot even use it right away in Dao Treading realm. Even if they reach the Immortal realm, it will take them a long time to be able to use it safely.
I've even heard that Seventh Tribulation Stage immortals have perished to their own flames, when they were unable to handle it." Lin Mu added, surprising them even more.
"That is…" Ming Dandan was at a loss for words.
"Will Childe Wildfire be able to handle this, then? Even his Sixth Tribulation Stage Immortal Realm cultivation base doesn't seem enough." Qian Wen wondered.
"He should be able to… one of the ways of overcoming the flames is to raise one's own resistance to fire. It can be either through body cultivation or using resources that can directly boost it." Lin Mu answered. "Childe Wildfire doesn't have body cultivation, so I think its the latter for him." He added.
Hearing that, they all couldn't help but wonder just how it would go for Childe Wildlife.
"It is time for you to be burned!" Childe Wildfire said as he raised his hand, creating a large sphere of fire in the sky.
The sphere was nearly ten meters wide and burned in a fierce red light.
"Scorch Sun domain!" Childe Wildfire shouted.
To mortals, it would seem like a new red sun had appeared in the sky. The heat from it was enough to soften the ground of the Spatial Plane. A few seconds was all it took for the brown soil and grey rocks to turn red hot.
And a minute later, they had softened into a dough like consistency. Of course, this was only the start as the temperature kept on rising.
"NOW BURN!" Childe Wildfire pointed at Feng Baxing, causing a fiery rain to fall from the sun.
