Nine Dragons Saint Ancestor

"I never expected this kid to have a Gold Extreme Fire on him. No wonder he can enter the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array without the Nangong Family bloodline!"

Recognizing it as the Gold Extreme Fire, the Array Heart Strange Spirit finally understood some things. However, its mind at the moment was no longer focused on such trivial matters.

"Human kid, hand over the Gold Extreme Fire, and perhaps I can leave you with an intact corpse; otherwise, you’ll be better off dead!"

This Array Heart Strange Spirit indeed had a slight grasp of human psychology, knowing that sometimes a simple slash might not invoke fear in the opponent, but endless pain, even the most resilient human cultivators might not be able to endure.

"Hmph, since you know this is the Gold Extreme Fire, where does your confidence come from?"

Having been through countless battles in two lifetimes, Yun Xiao would not be intimidated by mere threats. Hearing this, he snorted coldly, and then the Gold Extreme Fire in his hand burst into brilliant golden light.

This Chaos Sub-fire’s Gold Extreme Fire, besides possessing extremely strong Gold Attribute, also produced a rich Fire Attribute under the extreme of Gold Attribute.

In the Five Elements, fire conquers gold; this Extreme Fire born from the extreme of gold also has a powerful restraining effect on some Gold Attribute energies, which is the most important reason Yun Xiao could remain fearlessly.

Despite the Array Heart Strange Spirit having reached the Half-step Holy Spirit level, Yun Xiao was only at the Heavenly Realm Middle Stage in cultivation, but with this Gold Extreme Fire, the situation was completely different.

"Facing death and still being stubborn!"

This Array Heart Strange Spirit was seeing the Gold Extreme Fire for the first time, only knowing it would be endlessly beneficial for itself, but never considering the restraining power it contained. So, upon hearing its cold laugh, the speed of the seven golden blades instantly doubled.

The Array Heart Strange Spirit initially thought if the opponent feared its threat and obediently handed over the Gold Extreme Fire, that would be the best outcome, so it intentionally slowed down the speed of the seven dark golden blades.

Who knew this kid was stubborn, resisting even against such a disparity in power, truly enraging the Array Heart Strange Spirit, leaving it with no more hesitation.

"Golden Fire Burning Device!"

Seeing the seven golden lights furiously attacking from several directions, Yun Xiao showed no sign of panic. Hearing his deep shout, the originally palm-sized golden flame in his hand suddenly expanded without wind, turning into a massive size of several yards.

The massive Gold Extreme Fire obscured Yun Xiao’s entire body behind it. Meanwhile, the seven dark golden blades all pierced into the Gold Extreme Fire.

To outsiders, the Gold Extreme Fire was shockingly blazing, but the flame was ultimately a ghostly body. How could it possibly fend off the substantial golden blade attack? Using this flame to defend was simply overestimating oneself.

At least that was what the Array Heart Strange Spirit thought, confident in its golden blades. Even if it was the Gold Extreme Fire, it shouldn’t be able to incinerate all seven golden blades instantly, right?

Whoosh!

Unexpectedly, just as the Array Heart Strange Spirit felt triumphant while Nangong Xiaofeng watched with a worried expression, the first dark golden blade that pierced into the golden flame turned into a whiff of mist and vanished into the air instantly.

A whiff of mist rose, seemingly flickering with faint golden light, but it was only visible for a moment before disappearing completely, causing the Array Heart Strange Spirit’s expression to change unpredictably, as if not having anticipated such an outcome.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Following that, several streaks of golden mist rose, adding up to the previous one, all seven dark golden blades disappeared within the Gold Extreme Fire, not leaving a trace behind.

"This is impossible!"

Witnessing this scene, even the composed Array Heart Strange Spirit couldn’t help but roar, having never imagined such an outcome. How could its golden blade attacks be so ineffective?

"I must obtain the Gold Extreme Fire!"

After a brief lapse, the Array Heart Strange Spirit quickly regained composure, with its eyes burning with intense heat and greed.

Due to its strong desire for the Gold Extreme Fire, the Array Heart Strange Spirit, upon seeing its formidable power at this moment, coveted it even more.

However, the Array Heart Strange Spirit seemed to forget that this Gold Extreme Fire was controlled by that rustic young man, requiring it to first deal with Yun Xiao to obtain this Divine Artifact.

This was obviously a deadlock because Yun Xiao would never easily give up this Gold Extreme Fire, which was his greatest reliance to counter the Gold Attribute Half-step Holy Spirit.

With the Gold Extreme Fire in hand, the situation is in my favor, at least after the brief demonstration earlier, Yun Xiao understands the strong restraining effect this Gold Extreme Fire has on the Gold Attribute Half-step Holy Spirit.

"Is it my turn now?"

Yun Xiao didn’t have as many thoughts as the Array Core Strange Spirit. After knowing how useful the Gold Extreme Fire was, how could he possibly use other methods? Hearing his cold laugh, he had already taken action the next moment.

He stretched out his right hand, lightly flicking over the massive golden flame in front, and from this golden flame, palm-sized mini golden fires erupted continuously, heading overwhelmingly towards the Array Core Strange Spirit.

It was clear this was a special application Yun Xiao had developed after refining and merging the Gold Extreme Fire. With so many flames, the Array Core Strange Spirit obviously couldn’t evade.

Yun Xiao’s movements were also a surprise attack on the Array Core Strange Spirit. Compared to dealing with that Gold Attribute Holy Grade Heavenly Spirit when he first entered the Lingyun Realm, having the Gold Extreme Fire made things much more manageable.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...

Palm-sized golden fires were sent towards the Array Core Strange Spirit at a not-so-fast pace. Their speed was slow, but there were not many gaps for the Half-step Holy Spirit to dodge, clearly compensating for the speed with quantity.

"This mere Gold Extreme Fire, how can it harm me?"

The Array Core Strange Spirit, unaware of the imminent danger, always had one thought in mind: I’m an expert of the Half-step Holy Spirit tier; how could this mere human boy at the Heavenly Realm Middle Stage be my match?

In fact, the Array Core Strange Spirit wasn’t wrong, only it didn’t know that this human boy wasn’t just an ordinary human cultivator before it.

Besides his fighting ability, Yun Xiao could never be measured by his surface cultivation, and he possessed a heaven-defying Gold Extreme Fire. This was his most crucial reason for confidence.

Sizzle!

The self-confident Array Core Strange Spirit extended its right hand and slapped towards one of the golden fires, convinced that this strike would surely make the flame vanish into smoke.

However, the next moment’s occurrence made the Array Core Strange Spirit hurriedly withdraw its hand.

It suddenly realized that when it touched that golden flame, the fingertips turned into a wisp of mist, just like the Golden Blade earlier.

If the Array Core Strange Spirit had reached the true Holy Spirit level, perhaps the Gold Extreme Fire executed by Yun Xiao, a Heavenly Realm Middle Stage cultivator, wouldn’t pose a fatal threat.

Unfortunately, this individual only had Half-step Holy Spirit cultivation and unexpectedly touched the Gold Extreme Fire, suffering a minor loss.

Luckily, the Half-step Holy Spirit’s reaction wasn’t slow. When its right hand’s fingertip was burned by the Gold Extreme Fire, it quickly withdrew its hand, though its face turned extremely unsightly.

Because the Gold Extreme Fire Yun Xiao unleashed wasn’t just one flame; this was but the fastest among them. The remaining golden fires were still raging towards it, blocking all its escape routes.

Having suffered once, the Half-step Holy Spirit dared not touch the Gold Extreme Fire with its body. Until now, it realized the true horror of the Gold Extreme Fire.

The gold attribute within the Gold Extreme Fire did give the Array Core Strange Spirit a sense of kinship, but the extreme fiery breath made it extremely uncomfortable, as blazing fire subdues gold.

Perhaps the Array Core Strange Spirit never saw fire after gaining Spiritual Wisdom, and ordinary flames posed little threat to such a Strange Spirit expert.

"Cannot let these Gold Extreme Fires hit!"

At this moment, the Array Core Strange Spirit made a decision in its heart, but how could it avoid so many Gold Extreme Fires?

If it were an ordinary human cultivator, the only option now would be hard resistance. Yet this Half-step Holy Spirit cultivated from the Nine Revolutions Golden Palace Array’s core was very different from ordinary human cultivators.

Shh shh shh...

As golden light flickered, the originally humanoid body of the Array Core Strange Spirit transformed into countless golden beams, dazzling amidst the countless Gold Extreme Fires.

On its own, a humanoid form couldn’t evade the dense Gold Extreme Fires, but transformed into myriad golden beams, the Array Core Strange Spirit turned this impossibility into possibility.

No matter how close the Gold Extreme Fires were, they couldn’t fill all gaps. Between two flames, there was still a slight gap, which was an opportunity for the myriad golden beams to escape.

"This guy does have some quick wit!"

Seeing the Array Core Strange Spirit transform into myriad golden beams, Yun Xiao couldn’t help but show a wry smile. Such Strange Spirit experts, if dealt with using the regular thinking of ordinary human cultivators, might indeed suffer a major loss.

It was also fortunate for the Array Core Strange Spirit that it first used its finger to touch the Gold Extreme Fire, discovering its power in advance. A slower reaction would have led to completely different results.
