Immortal God of War-Chapter 879 - 838: Heartflame
"How terrifying!"
The celestial force was overwhelming, intimidating everything; Qin Feiyang and Yan Wei couldn’t help but tremble.
Even those masked men showed expressions of fear.
"What exactly is it?"
Qin Feiyang gazed at the firelight.
The appearance of the Heavenly Tribulation was definitely related to that firelight.
Crack!
Suddenly.
A dazzling lightning bolt descended from the sky, heading straight for the mountain peak.
It was like a beacon of light in the darkness, illuminating everywhere.
Roar!
At the same time.
A loud beast roar echoed from atop the mountain, filled with an immense aura of majesty.
Qin Feiyang’s expression stiffened.
Could it actually be a fierce beast undergoing tribulation?
He turned to Yan Wei and said, "Could it be the Beast Emperor you mentioned?"
"Impossible."
"That Beast Emperor is indeed strong, but I’m certain that when I first entered here, its cultivation wouldn’t exceed the War Emperor."
Yan Wei decisively denied.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye.
The lightning crashed into the mountain peak.
The entire giant peak was instantly shattered!
And at the same time as the peak was shattered, a fierce beast entered Qin Feiyang’s sight.
It was a fiery red beast, not very large, about three to four meters.
It looked like a lion, with flames blazing all over its body, yet it had two fiery red wings on its back.
"Isn’t this a Fire Winged Lion?"
Yan Wei’s eyes widened.
Along the way, they had encountered countless Fire Winged Lions.
Though this Fire Winged Lion was much smaller than the others, it was definitely a Fire Winged Lion.
"I seem to have seen it before."
"It gives me a sense of familiarity."
Qin Feiyang murmured.
Yan Wei was stunned and asked in disbelief, "Aren’t you here at the Flame Mountain Range for the first time? How could you have seen it?"
"I don’t know either, it’s just an inexplicable feeling of familiarity, as if I know it."
Qin Feiyang looked up at the Fire Winged Lion, his eyes filled with confusion.
He was sure he had never seen this Fire Winged Lion before.
So why did he have this feeling?
Roar!
After the previous tribulation strike, the Fire Winged Lion was covered in blood.
But in its large, copper-bell-like eyes, there was a sense of defiance and a hint of mockery and disdain.
It felt as though it was looking down on the celestial force!
Crack!
With a tremendous sound, the second tribulation dropped fiercely, sparking everywhere, illuminating the sky!
Yet the Fire Winged Lion did not dodge but instead spread its wings and proactively met it.
The terrifying beast aura rolled across all directions, drawing attention.
Boom!
The two collided like comets.
Roar!
The Fire Winged Lion let out a painful howl, its body cracking immediately, blood scattering into the air, and it was knocked down, crashing into the mountains below.
Qin Feiyang’s pupils contracted.
The strength of the Heavenly Tribulation was terrifying; even though the Fire Winged Lion showed immense courage, it couldn’t withstand it.
"What is its strength?"
He looked at Yan Wei and asked.
"Based on my estimation, it should be a Two-star War Emperor, or a Three-star War Emperor."
Yan Wei said.
Qin Feiyang said solemnly, "Then it won’t hold out."
Yan Wei furrowed his brow and said, "Whether it can hold out is one thing, but why is it undergoing a tribulation?"
"I don’t know."
Qin Feiyang shook his head, puzzled.
Logically, whether a fierce beast or a human, a divine tribulation only descends when one breaks through to War God.
Yet the cultivation of this Fire Winged Lion is evidently insufficient!
Roar!
In a blink!
The Fire Winged Lion that was slammed into the mountains below, rose up into the sky again, roaring at the heavens, provoking the celestial force!
Rumble!
Crack!
It seemed its provocation really angered the celestial force; the third tribulation rapidly descended.
And.
Both speed and intensity were more terrifying than the previous two tribulations.
Boom!
The tribulation descended fiercely, instantly striking its body.
The wings on its back broke on the spot, flesh flying!
Once again, the Fire Winged Lion was knocked down.
In an instant.
The place crumbled, lava erupted, a few miles around turned into a flat land.
Swish!!
At the same time.
The white-haired elder known as ’Old Wu,’ accompanied by a young man in purple, flew in from afar.
"Hmm?"
Qin Feiyang was slightly stunned, watching the youth from a distance.
The young man was around twenty-five or six years old, tall and poised, yet looking somewhat battered at the moment.
Yan Wei whispered, "The person those masked men referred to as the young master should be him."
"Nine-Star War Ancestor, remarkable."
Qin Feiyang murmured.
Yan Wei said, "Do you think his purpose could be this Fire Winged Lion?"
"It’s possible."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
While they were speaking, Old Wu and the young man in purple had already landed in front of the masked men.
"Greetings, young master."
The masked men hurriedly bowed.
The young man in purple nodded, then looked down at the Fire Winged Lion lying in the lava.
At this moment.
The Fire Winged Lion’s wings were broken, its body torn apart, but it was still barely alive, on the brink of death.
Yet the tribulation showed no mercy.
The fourth heavenly thunder descended from the sky, roaring across the skies, madly striking at the Fire Winged Lion!
"Roar!"
Suddenly.
The Fire Winged Lion roared toward the sky and charged into the air.
Simultaneously.
The ground below cracked open, and a small flame burst out from a fissure.
"Heart fire!"
Yan Wei’s tiger eyes widened.
"It’s not heart fire."
Qin Feiyang shook his head.
He was very familiar with heart fire; it carried a very special aura.
And this flame did not have the aura of heart fire.
"Quickly, grab it!"
At the same moment.
The young man in purple shouted.
His eyes were filled with intense desire and greed!
Whiz!
Elder Wu instantly darted toward the flame like lightning.
"Courting death!"
The Fire Winged Lion also noticed Elder Wu and its eyes flashed with an astonishing vicious gleam.
Boom!
Suddenly.
A torrent of flames surged out from its body, rushing towards Elder Wu like a crashing wave.
"If it’s not heart fire, what are they fighting for?"
Yan Wei was astonished and doubtful.
Qin Feiyang was also full of confusion, what on earth were these people after?
"Courting death?"
Elder Wu sneered and said, "If it weren’t for my young master taking a fancy to you, I would have already killed you!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, battle intent surged in his palm, turning into a torrent, rushing fiercely forward.
Boom!
The flaming surge was instantly annihilated!
Pfft!
The Fire Winged Lion spat out a mouthful of blood, and its aura weakened further.
"Since you won’t obey, then we can only seize your heart fire. Once the heart fire is ours, let’s see how you jump around!"
Elder Wu relentlessly pressed on, stepping into the air, his old hand claw-like, reaching for the heart fire.
He was like a sharp sword, exuding an intimidating aura!
Seeing Qin Feiyang unresponsive, Yan Wei frowned and said, "Won’t you help it?"
"How to help?"
Qin Feiyang asked in return.
This Fire Winged Lion gave him a strange sense of familiarity, and he did indeed want to help.
But what could he do with his limited strength?
Yan Wei’s eyes flashed and said in a deep voice, "Give me one of those ribs."
"What do you plan to do?"
Qin Feiyang paused for a moment and asked.
"From my observation, apart from that Elder Wu, the other masked men are mostly at the one-star War Emperor level. I want to take a gamble."
Yan Wei said.
"Are you sure?"
Qin Feiyang frowned.
Yan Wei nodded.
Qin Feiyang did not hesitate anymore, took out a rib, and handed it to Yan Wei.
Yan Wei grabbed the rib, hid it within his sleeves, and unhesitatingly performed the Sky Demon Nine Steps, darting toward the mountain peak where the young man in purple stood.
These days, while traveling, Yan Wei had been practicing the Sky Demon Nine Steps.
Though not yet fully proficient, even with his current familiarity, he could unleash half of its power.
And the distance between the two mountain peaks was only half a mile, which meant only a few breaths of time for Yan Wei at full speed.
At the same time.
The masked men also noticed Yan Wei’s presence.
"You didn’t leave?"
One of the masked men said in surprise.
Evidently.
He was the one who intercepted Qin Feiyang and his companion.
Yan Wei didn’t answer, his eyes flashing with a sharp light.
"Foolhardy!"
The masked man’s gaze turned cold, and he stepped forward, attacking Yan Wei.
In an instant.
The two met in mid-air.
"You really think I’m afraid of you?"
Yan Wei sneered coldly, and the rib hidden in his sleeve was fiercely knocked against the masked man’s head.
Ah!
The masked man cried out miserably, being blasted away on the spot, his skull shattered, and several fissures appeared on his head, blood gushing out.
Though not dead, only injured.
Nevertheless, Yan Wei was overjoyed, brimming with confidence, and charged toward the young man in purple.
However.
The young man in purple and the other masked men were shocked by the rib.
Whose rib possessed such terrifying power?
Taking advantage of their daze, Yan Wei dropped onto the mountain peak and grabbed the young man in purple by the neck.
At the same time.
Elder Wu also seized the heart fire.
The fourth Heavenly Tribulation struck the Fire Winged Lion again.
Boom!
The Fire Winged Lion was blasted downward once more, lava splashing dozens of feet high.
After snatching the Fire Winged Lion’s heart fire, Elder Wu immediately turned to look at Yan Wei, with an ominous glare, "Do you know who you’re provoking now?"
"I don’t know."
"And I don’t want to know."
Yan Wei said indifferently.
"You will die."
"Not just you, but your family and friends will perish because of your foolish actions."
The young man in purple remained untroubled, coldly staring at Yan Wei with utter disdain, as if looking at an ant.
"Is that so?"
Qin Feiyang stepped forward, walking towards the mountain peak, smiling lightly, "Even if we’re going to die, you’ll definitely die before us."
The young man in purple’s pupils constricted, looking at Qin Feiyang, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"Brat, I really regret not killing you back then!"
At this time.
The masked man who was blasted away shouted angrily, rushing fiercely towards Qin Feiyang.
"Try touching him if you dare?"
Yan Wei’s face turned cold, tightening his grip on the young man in purple’s neck.
Crack!
The sound of a fracture was heard instantly.
The masked man’s expression changed, quickly halting his steps.
"I’m not looking down on you, but even if you want to kill us, you can’t."
Qin Feiyang sneered, glancing at the masked man, landing on the mountain peak, standing beside Yan Wei.
Roar!
The Fire Winged Lion roared, dragging its battered body, soaring into the air.
Upon seeing Qin Feiyang, it was taken aback.
In its heart, an inexplicable familiar feeling also surged.
Swish!
But without thinking much.
It immediately turned its gaze, staring intensely at the heart fire in Elder Wu’s hand.
