Fallen Heart Flame.

Compared to other Heavenly Flames, this one was somewhat weaker in terms of pure destructive power.

However, its unique effect of greatly accelerating a person's cultivation speed was something countless people dreamed of obtaining.

Ranked fourteenth on the Heavenly Flame Ranking, the Fallen Heart Flame was born of the heart, tempering qi and refining bones.

It even had another nickname: The Cultivation Cheat Device.

Once it was successfully refined, the user's body would begin to continuously produce a type of heart flame.

This heart flame didn't require conscious control and would burn ceaselessly, day and night, refining the Dou Qi within the body nonstop.

Under such constant tempering, it was as if the user were in a perpetual state of cultivation.

And what's more—the effect was even better than ordinary training!

This kind of efficiency far surpassed normal cultivation methods, so calling it a cheat device was by no means an exaggeration.

The Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy had built the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower using the heart flames leaked from the Fallen Heart Flame—a structure that essentially acted as a cultivation accelerator. Over time, it had nurtured a great number of young powerhouses.

That was why Han Feng and the other experts from Black-Corner Region were all overjoyed when they recognized that this Heavenly Flame was indeed the Fallen Heart Flame.

Although at their level, the acceleration effect wouldn't be as dramatic as it was for Inner Academy students, even so, that relentless refining effect, if accumulated over time, could still bring unimaginable benefits to its master.

Of course, no matter how tempting the Fallen Heart Flame's special effects were, all of that was contingent on one thing: obtaining and successfully refining it.

But to subdue a Heavenly Flame—one of the most destructive forces of nature—how could that be easy?

Not to mention… this particular Heavenly Flame had developed its own intelligence.

Screeech—!

At this moment, the invisible fire python suddenly lifted its massive head, lashed out with its tail, and its colossal body exploded forth like lightning.

However, judging from its movement, its target wasn't the lone and relatively weaker Xiao Yan—instead, it was Han Feng, surrounded by the crowd.

"..." Han Feng.

Staring at the charging invisible fire python, Han Feng and the surrounding Black-Corner Region experts all turned pale.

The oppressive force radiating from that massive body made them feel as if they were facing a dire threat.

Especially when the scorching waves of flame swept toward them, some of the experts couldn't help but begin to retreat.

"Don't panic! There's a lot of us—this beast wouldn't dare to clash with us head-on!" Han Feng quickly shouted.

He knew very well how terrifying the Invisible Fire python's strength was. If everyone backed off, he alone certainly didn't dare face it directly.

Some of the experts looked hesitantly at the oncoming beast, flames rolling across the sky.

Especially the heavily injured Fan Lao—he didn't even hesitate to toss out a sentence before running for his life.

That alone dealt a heavy blow to the others who were still hesitating.

Most people's expressions turned uncertain as the incoming heat wave pressed down on them.

Screeech—!

As everyone hesitated, the Invisible Fire Python, now even closer, suddenly let out a piercing shriek.

Under that cry, a wave of invisible flame spread out silently—so intense that it warped the very fabric of space.

Even though everyone had Dou Qi protecting their bodies, they still felt intense burning pain all over.

The heat of the Fallen Heart Flame was not something easily resisted.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Deep blue flames surged out like ocean waves, rolling violently around Han Feng.

Thanks to the Sea Heart Flame, the temperature of the Fallen Heart Flame didn't harm Han Feng much.

But the others around him weren't so lucky—they had to push their Dou Qi to the limit just to resist the scorching fire.

"Han Feng, this won't do. That beast's energy seems endless—if this stalemate keeps up, our people might not be able to hold on much longer."

An elder in golden robes glanced at the sweat-soaked experts around them and frowned as he addressed Han Feng.

Han Feng's expression twisted slightly upon hearing this. His eyes locked on the charging Invisible Fire python.

The overwhelming wave of flames—it made even him tremble.

In the end, he gritted his teeth.

"Everyone, lend me your strength! If you help me subdue this Heavenly Flame today, I'll double the number of pills I promised you before!"

Blue flames surged violently around his body as Han Feng turned and shouted toward the Black-Corner Region experts.

Hearing this, the sweat-drenched experts who were struggling against the Invisible Flame showed a flicker of greed in their eyes.

After a moment's hesitation, driven by the promise of great reward, they all nodded fiercely.

People of the Black-Corner Region would do anything for profit.

"Follow my lead! We'll attack together—once its energy is drained, I'll handle the rest!"

As Han Feng spoke, a pair of giant blue flame spears quickly condensed between his palms.

His gaze locked tightly on the rapidly approaching Invisible Fire python. When it was about to close in within ten meters, his eyes suddenly widened as he shouted harshly, "Attack!"

As his shout rang out, the two massive flame spears in his hands—each nearly ten feet long—let out a thunderous roar like crashing waves as they were hurled viciously toward the Invisible Fire python.

Behind the blue flame spears, nearly dozens of energy attacks of various colors followed closely.

These attacks were unleashed with full force by the experts of the Black-Corner Region.

On the other side, seeing the Fallen Heart Flame clash head-on with the experts of the Black-Corner Region, Su Qian didn't waste any words. He immediately led the elders of the academy to retreat far away, taking the opportunity to rest and recover.

Boom!

Under countless watchful eyes, the combined attacks of the Black-Corner Region experts finally collided fiercely with the charging Invisible Fire Python in a deafening explosion.

Screee—

A strange, furious screech resounded across the sky.

...

The intense battle continued, wreaking havoc throughout the Inner Academy, reducing it to a mess.

"Stop it!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Ah!"

A pillar of flame swept across the sky.

Han Feng and a few stronger-sensed experts barely dodged in time by the skin of their teeth.

Even so, the passing flame pillar still caused a searing pain to scorch their skin.

But those unlucky ones who lacked sufficient strength were struck directly.

"Ah—!"

Immediately, the invisible flames spread across their bodies.

Even with Dou Qi protecting them, they still felt a piercing, bone-deep burning pain.

In that moment, figures darted through the air as over a dozen people, now blazing firemen, ran about frantically in all directions.

They screamed in agony, struggling with all their might to rid themselves of the invisible flames clinging to their bodies.

"Help them, now!" Han Feng shouted anxiously.

These people were key to whether or not he could obtain the Fallen Heart Flame—he couldn't just abandon them.

Just as Han Feng was about to act, another pillar of flame shot toward him.

A wave of scorching heat surged forward. Looking down, Han Feng saw that the Invisible Fire python had locked its attack directly onto him.

"Damn it!" Han Feng cursed under his breath.

With a wave of his sleeve—

A torrent of majestic deep-blue flames burst forth from his body, spreading out like a blue curtain that blocked in front of him.

"Heh!"

With a shout, Han Feng thrust his palms forward. The deep-blue flames, like a tidal wave from the sea, surged outward in layer upon layer. Like a massive shield, they collided fiercely with the incoming invisible flame pillar.

Boom!

The clash of two Heavenly Flames erupted with a thunderous explosion, like a bolt of thunder bursting in everyone's ears.

The moment the flames collided, the temperature of the entire Inner Academy skyrocketed.

Even some dry leaves in the distance spontaneously combusted without any fire touching them.

High above in the sky, the energy ripples from the collision of the Heavenly Flames forced Han Feng to retreat over ten steps mid-air before he managed to stabilize himself.

His chest heaved violently, his aura fluctuating. Raising his head, he looked forward.

There, the Fallen Heart Flame remained completely unscathed. It had already coiled itself into a serpent formation in mid-air, its massive head raised high, staring at Han Feng with an unblinking gaze.

Clearly, the Fallen Heart Flame had made up its mind to entangle with him and was fully prepared to begin a true battle.

"That damn beast… That other guy also has a Heavenly Flame, so why the hell is it targeting me first?!" Han Feng's face turned ashen, nearly coughing up blood from sheer frustration.

His gaze swept toward the distant sky, where Xiao Yan was standing with arms crossed, leisurely watching the show. Han Feng couldn't help but curse furiously in his heart.

...

Within a ruined corner—

Dou Qi slowly stirred in Wei Yang's body. He pressed his foot lightly against the ground, his body tensing as he whispered, "Han Feng's getting desperate. He's about to use his trump card. Let's be ready."

"Mm." Xian'er nodded.

"Later, we'll do this…" Wei Yang transmitted his voice secretly.
