Biochemical Martial Arts: Supreme Heavenly Venerate

Chapter 264 Fire Control (Third update, please subscribe)

As Lin Rui's psychic consciousness endured the heavy blow, the assault from the Flame Sabers did not cease. They rushed down upon him continuously, like a blanket of heaven covering earth.

Barely had Lin Rui's figure come to a halt when the dense rain of sabers completely engulfed him.

The spot on the river where he stood was cleaved into a huge ravine, with massive waves surging up from both sides, and a vast red inferno formed a giant cloud of fire above the surface.

At that moment, almost everyone both on and off the battlefield was shaken and shocked by what was unfolding on the river.

"Little Rui?" Xue Lingxue's face turned as pale as paper, her hands hardly able to hold her bow.

—Once again, she had failed her mission.

The last person in the world she cared about had also died before her eyes.

What on earth was wrong with this world? No matter what she wanted to protect, it seemed she could neither safeguard it nor keep it safe.

"Brother!" Inside the Undying Dragon of the Danxin, Lin Xi too, through the dragon's incredibly powerful and advanced visual system, saw the scene unfolding miles away, and her eyes instantly turned blood-red.

—Once again, she witnessed her brother die before her eyes!

Driven insane by despair, Lin Xi piloted the Undying Dragon of the Danxin toward the surface of the river, her iris gradually turning from red to a dead grey.

Meanwhile, hidden from everyone's perception, within the lower levels of Base City Nine, a colossal being that had been slumbering was rapidly awakening.

"Big bro Rui!" Wang Sen's face drained of all color as he clenched his fists tightly.

In that instant, Wang Sen felt an unprecedented hatred for his own powerlessness and incompetence.

But just then, a new message popped up in their combat group chat.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Xueying, what are you doing? I'm not dead yet."

Even while possessed, Lin Rui was still able to control his biological chip to speak in the group chat.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Holy shit, is that you Lin Xi? The Undying Dragon of the Danxin, the Zhou family's dragon actually didn't die?"

Lin Rui was shocked beyond belief; his sister had quietly given him such a huge surprise.

It was through the blood bond between them that he sensed Lin Xi's presence.

Out of concern, he specially commanded his biological chip to intercept the second Battle Spirit's vision, analyzing and restoring the image of Lin Xi's location.

He was taken aback when he saw through the fog, a dragon's silhouette faintly standing there.

Due to the thick fog, Lin Rui could only make out the outline of this dragon, which was unmistakably the Zhou family's underground Undying Dragon of the Danxin.

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Are you trying to get yourself killed? Get back right now, your dragon can't even stand firmly."

Gu Ying Tiandao (Lin Rui): "Go back! Listen to me, I won't die."

In their combat group chat, aside from Ji Xueying, who was in the midst of a fierce battle with the Xuanhuo Saber, Qi Yan, everyone else was stunned.

Lin Rui was actually alive? He survived the onslaught of hundreds of Flame Saber strikes?

This guy even had the leisure to chat with them in their combat group?

Xue Lingxue's spirits lifted, and she took another syringe from her backpack, injecting it into the artery on her neck.

It was a stimulant, capable of driving her True Yuan, which was beginning to deplete, to explode to its limits once more!

Lin Xi hesitated with uncertainty in her gaze.

She didn't know whether she should obey her brother's command or not.

Nearby the Undying Dragon of the Danxin, Zhuang Mingyue also gazed toward the river's surface.

She had come to check on the status of the dragon.

Zhuang Mingyue believed that Lin Rui would be able to hold on for a while longer; she was confident in maintaining her ice Yuan technique but had not anticipated such a sudden change in the battle.

Had Lin Rui died?

Had that extraordinarily talented Lin Rui with a bright future truly died?

It was then that she saw the titanic waves that rose ten feet above the river's surface suddenly crashing down.

As the water curtain fell, Zhuang Mingyue's pupils widened incredulously.

She saw Lin Rui — he wasn't dead.

Meanwhile, on a government ship thirty miles away, the delicately beautiful lady in blue first spat out a mouthful of blood, then bled from all orifices, her complexion pale as gold paper.

She could no longer stand steadily, her body wobbling and staggering forward a few steps.

Just as the lady in blue was about to faint and fall to the ground, Yuan Chengkai, the governor of Sand Province, reached out in time to steady her delicate body.

Yuan Chengkai looked utterly perplexed and deeply questioning, "Tian Qing?"

What on earth was happening?

His dear friend, not only was she a seventh realm sorcerer, but she was also most proficient in the art of the mind.

'Tian Qing' had even refined a second Primordial Spirit at the sixth realm level, with the power to obliterate souls and kill undetected.

However, from 'Tian Qing's' current state, it was clear she had failed, and it was possible that her second Primordial Spirit was completely destroyed, hence severely damaging her own Primordial Spirit.

The question was, what exactly was going on? Lin Rui was merely a mere fourth realm warrior!

This very person was still fully engaged in combat with the Xuanhuo Saber, Qi Yan, and should have been too preoccupied to notice anything else.

It was at that moment Yuan Chengkai saw the scene after the titanic wave had fallen.

Lin Twelve was actually standing there perfectly fine, standing on the surface of the water unscathed.

Behind him, a pearl emitting a white, faint light was also floating.

Yuan Chengkai's heart trembled greatly, recognizing it as the "Sky-pouring" treasure where the Primordial Spirit was entrusted, the supreme magic artifact beyond the Seventh Realm—the Thunder Soul Pearl.

Equally astonished was the Xuanhuo Saber wielder, Qi Yan.

His Primordial Spirit had been locked onto Lin Twelve the entire time, and he did not know what had happened inside Lin Twelve's body.

What astounded Qi Yan was not the fact that Lin Twelve was still alive, but the way Lin Twelve was resisting his Flame Saber Gang Qi.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Those hundreds and thousands of Saber Gang Qi rain kept pouring down continuously towards Lin Twelve, with the prowess to level mountains and sever rivers, to burn forests and boil seas!

Yet these extremely dangerous Flame Saber Gang Qi were all collapsing and disintegrating two yards in front of the beautiful young man opposite them!

In the midst of those sharp, piercing sounds, the Flame Saber Gang Qi shattered into countless dispersed Gang Qi, sweeping in all directions.

Surprisingly, not even one strand of these dispersed Saber Gang Qi was directed towards Lin Twelve.

The surface of the water under Lin Twelve's feet was boiling on a large scale, and the hundred-yard radius of the water's surface all turned into roiling, bubbling water.

That was clearly Lin Twelve transferring all the flames within his body to the Xiang River at his feet!

Just a few breaths ago, this youth was still struggling awkwardly to counter his Saber Gang bombardment, yet now he was able to face this dense Saber Gang Qi rain with absolute composure.

He even walked leisurely across the river's surface towards him while withstanding the great tide of Qi Yan's Saber Gang Qi.

Qi Yan watched this scene, his mind shocked and baffled to its limits.

While fending off the chilling light saber strikes from Blood Blade Ji and the continuously shooting arrows, he focused his attention to observe and figure out why.

Shortly thereafter, Qi Yan's heart trembled once again.

He had realized the issue; it was the fire elemental force mixed within the Saber Gang Qi that was being interfered with.

And it was severe interference that directly caused those flames' elemental force to explode uncontrollably!

This also fundamentally undermined the Flame Saber Gang Qi, causing an internal imbalance and disintegration.

The question was, how could this fellow's control of fire be so exquisite?

Qi Yan was indeed experiencing issues himself; due to internal injuries and those ice needles, his inherent flame elemental force was in a state of severe imbalance and disorder, which the other party took advantage of.

But even with his condition, it wasn't something that any ordinary martial cultivator could exploit if they wanted to, not even Qin Xia who is also a peak Fifth Realm fire martial cultivator with the Heavenly Demon Dragon Armor and yet unable to withstand his casual Flame Saber Gang Qis.

There is a saying among the people about using minimal strength to move heavy weights, but if one does not possess even that minimal strength, how can they move a heavy weight?

"You're using the 'Purifying Flames of the World,' a secret technique from the Burning God Sect that dates back 8,000 years ago,"

Ji Shenyan, controlling Lin Rui's body, looked at Qi Yan with mocking eyes, "It's a pity you learned it incompletely and your control over fire is extremely poor, merely relying on bloodline power to force it through. With such inadequate skills, how dare you act so arrogantly in front of me?"

Of course, even with his current state, Qi Yan at his peak was not someone Lin Rui and his servant could compare with.

Even with Ji Shenyan controlling Lin Rui's body, they could only manage to preserve Lin Rui's life and were unable to confront such an expert beyond the Seventh Realm.

However, Qi Yan was currently in chaos and imbalance internally, his ability to control fire likely not even one-tenth of what it was at his peak.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

Qi Yan's Flame Saber Gang Qi continued to burst and surge forth, growing more and more violent, yet he still couldn't reach within two yards around Lin Rui.

No matter how powerful or fierce those Saber Gang Qis were, they would disperse and shatter before Lin Rui.

Seeing Lin Twelve approaching over the water, now just five yards in front of him, Qi Yan couldn't help but roar in anger.

He initially wanted to summon his 'Flame Blood Burning Dragon' to strike at Lin Twelve, but discovered that his battle dragon had been entangled by the Sword Bone Demon, along with Qin Xia and Li Changguo in their Heavenly Demon Dragon Armor.

Blood Blade Ji also managed to unleash even greater speed with her saber strikes, continuously slicing towards Qi Yan, forcing him to block and defend with all his might.

At that moment, Lin Twelve suddenly raised his hand and pointed a finger towards Qi Yan's forehead.

Ji Shenyan, contemptuous of the Seventh Realm martial cultivator before her, kept her gaze on the lower abdomen area of Qi Yan.

—Inside there was something she wanted!

Qi Yan felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. Seeing that finger from Lin Twelve pointing towards him, his mind rang alarm bells, sensing an extreme crisis.

He didn't understand what the matter with Lin Twelve was, how could his martial way of controlling fire be so powerful? Even he, a Seventh Realm master, could not reach such a level.

And Lin Twelve's finger that seemed so ordinary—why did it cause him to shiver, filled with extreme fear?

"Die!"

Qi Yan's True Yuan suddenly exploded with full power, forming a six-zhang-tall flame giant on the outside of his body.

At the same time, the will and concept of the ancient and profound 'Fire Deity' began to cover a ten-mile radius around him.

Qi Yan first slashed fiercely with his saber, sending Ji Xueying flying with a powerful blow, then he raised his blade to split mountains and boil seas, and slashed towards Lin Twelve's head!

"Die!"

Lin Twelve, seeing this, curled the corner of his lips, revealing a triumphant smile.

In that instant, Qi Yan discovered that all the will and concept of the abyss he had summoned with all his strength had actually been stolen and controlled by the youth opposite him.

At the same time, all the flames that Qi Yan had unleashed were reversing and rolling back, surging like a tide into his body.

And at that very moment, all the Xuanbing Needles inside Qi Yan completely melted!
