Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 925: Three-Fires Universe Formation
Previously on Checking in for 100,000 Years...
"Dragon Chan, I recall you weren’t this way in the past. Why have you begun spouting such rubbish after advancing to the Divine King Realm?"
Emperor Jiuying burned with fury, her brows knitting tightly as she spoke in a hushed tone, barely reining in her rage.
After all, they had been familiar with one another for hundreds of thousands of years, grasping each other’s nature deeply.
Yet Dragon Chan had abruptly voiced such disrespectful words before everyone, leaving Emperor Jiuying momentarily unable to stomach it.
"It’s precisely because I’ve attained the Divine King Realm that enlightenment struck me, hehe... Jiuying sister, can’t you grasp my true feelings?"
The Demonic Flame Sect Master declared with intense emotion.
"You scoundrel, cease your drivel!"
Gazing at that once-known face, a wave of disgust washed over Emperor Jiuying.
"Jiuying sister, gaining an extra Dao companion would propel your cultivation even higher—what’s not to like? Plus, as a Dragon Clan member, I’m inherently aligned with your Jiuying Clan..."
The Demonic Flame Sect Master opened his arms and pressed on earnestly.
"Silence!"
No longer able to tolerate it, Emperor Jiuying swung her hand through the air.
A sharp slap echoed!
The unexpected strike hurled the Demonic Flame Sect Master flying through the air.
"Nine Heavens Divine King, how dare you attack our Demonic Flame Sect Master?"
The nearby Sun Fire Sect Master glared in outrage.
"This fool spews lies and tarnishes my name—how could I let that slide?"
Emperor Jiuying stated coldly.
"Jiuying, that was splendid! Scum like him needs a good thrashing!"
Ye Yun applauded with a hearty laugh.
He had observed everything from the sidelines with detachment, spotting how the Demonic Flame Sect Master guarded his secrets and never spoke plainly.
That professed deep affection for Emperor Jiuying was nothing but a clever ruse to fool the crowd.
Ye Yun possessed vast insight into human sentiments.
Therefore, he discerned no genuine love in the Demonic Flame Sect Master’s gaze toward Emperor Jiuying.
The act was simply more convincing.
"What does this fellow truly seek?"
Ye Yun’s gaze blazed like fire as he fixed it on the Demonic Flame Sect Master.
"Jiuying sister, you actually struck me?"
Clutching his reddened cheek, the Demonic Flame Sect Master soared back, glaring at Emperor Jiuying with venom and bellowing: "Have you forgotten how my father once saved your father’s life?"
"I haven’t forgotten..."
Hearing this, Emperor Jiuying’s features drained of color.
"Then... will you consent or refuse?"
The Demonic Flame Sect Master’s face hardened into cruelty as he demanded loudly.
"No."
Emperor Jiuying shot back instantly.
"Hahaha..."
The Demonic Flame Sect Master erupted in wild laughter, flicking his sleeve to summon a bizarre crimson blaze encircling the plaza.
The crimson glow seared with intense heat, dancing like living fire.
"What’s going on?"
Numerous Divine King Realm powerhouses witnessed the sight, their pulses racing as grim looks settled on their faces.
It was clearly some kind of formation.
Yet this array felt utterly alien, as though it had never appeared before.
"Ah..."
Abruptly, a cry rang out near the square; a Divine Monarch Realm cultivator too near the edge was incinerated into a puff of azure smoke by the red inferno.
Seeing this horror unfold.
Cultivators at Divine Sovereign Realm and Divine Monarch Realm on the plaza flew into chaos, clustering tightly while drawing out treasures and hurling them overhead.
A multitude of artifacts unleashed radiant barriers to shield them.
With so many items clustered and people packed close, the barrier’s strength proved formidable.
Sensing no further scorching assault, the cultivators exhaled in relief.
"Boss, our formation at last emerges once more..."
The Sun Fire Sect Master beside him pumped his fists in wild exhilaration.
"Sadly, this marks my final hidden ace."
The Demonic Flame Sect Master intoned gravely.
He gestured, ordering the Sun Fire Sect Master to withdraw.
Understanding the cue, the Sun Fire Sect Master faded into invisibility, vanishing completely.
As the dread flames surged inward, caging them like a fiery prison with overwhelming auras crashing like waves, Emperor Jiuying’s expression twisted in shock: "What sort of formation is this?"
"Behold the Tri-fire Universe Formation, born from merging Sun True Flame, Ice Spirit Divine Flame, and Lotus Demon Fire!"
The Demonic Flame Sect Master thrust out his chest, boasting with pride.
"Could this be... a fresh array from your Three Fire God Cult?"
Emperor Jiuying creased her brow, inquiring.
While speaking, she produced a spherical treasure, flinging it skyward where it whirled nonstop, projecting luminous shields.
The glow enveloped Ye Yun too.
"Correct, it’s an invention of my Three Fire God Cult, crafted to counter Divine King Realm foes!"
The Demonic Flame Sect Master replied icily.
Staring at Emperor Jiuying, his eyes burned fiercely, head shaking: "Jiuying sister, abandon your futile fight—the might of these converged divine flames defies comprehension!"
With those words.
The Demonic Flame Sect Master surveyed the encircling Divine King Realm masters, clasping hands in mock regret: "Honored allies, this feud lies solely between the Di Family and Dragon Family—kindly stay out of it..."
The nearby Divine King Realm experts furrowed brows in unison.
They had intended to step in should the Nine Heavens Divine King falter.
But.
This array loomed menacingly, seemingly nested within yet another layer.
Should both activate together, even they risked annihilation.
Sun True Flame, Ice Spirit Divine Flame, Lotus Demon Fire—these famed blazes of the Divine Land, united, could indeed shatter realms.
No divine technique or treasure withstood them; all crumbled like tissue.
Noting the dour expressions of the Divine Kings, a spark of delight crossed the Demonic Flame Sect Master’s features.
Bowing again, he proclaimed: "My thanks to you great Divine King comrades. Once Jiuying and I unite as Dao companions, I shall call upon you all to offer proper thanks!"
"Spare us the gratitude!"
The Thunderbolt Divine King flicked his sleeves in irritation and departed swiftly.
He himself coveted the Nine Heavens Divine King, and now rendered helpless, he felt nothing but disdain for the Demonic Flame Sect Master.
Following the Thunderbolt Divine King’s exit.
The remaining Divine King Realm experts successively took their leave with farewells.
In a flash.
Of all the Divine King Realm powerhouses there, only the Demonic Flame Sect Master and Nine Heavens Divine King lingered.
"Dragon Chan!"
Sensing the formation’s crushing force, Emperor Jiuying drew a heavy breath, snarling: "Your schemes run so deep, your aims so hidden—I was utterly deceived!"
"Jiuying sister, cease resisting!"
The Demonic Flame Sect Master grinned gently as an odd crimson glow fell, scorching through the shielding radiance like hungry fire, striking the orbiting sphere.
The spherical treasure halted its spin at once.
Its luster swiftly faded, its quality plummeting.
In just two or three breaths.
The mid-grade defensive divine artifact lost all rank, tumbling from the sky.
"Intriguing..."
Ye Yun tilted his head toward the eerie red glow, eyes flashing, a faint smirk curling his lips unnoticed.
