Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Panda Novel

Jiang Yi’s overall combat strength was very powerful and could even kill a middle-stage Heaven Monarch, but he had to rely on the Thunder Fire. Without the Thunder Fire, he would have to die if he didn’t use the Heaven Evasion to escape.

His true cultivation realm had always been rather weak. His dao pattern realm had reached the Heaven Monarch Realm, but the combat strength was definitely not strong enough. He had only comprehended some low-grade dao patterns and one mid-grade dao pattern. He had yet to fuse that high-grade dao pattern and didn’t know the power of it.

His essence force cultivation was even lower as he was originally only at the fifth stage of the Vajra Realm. Right now, with the cultivation speed at 1000 folds, it was already considered heaven-defying for him to reach the peak stage of the Vajra Realm in three months.

During these few months, his dao pattern fusion had not made any progress, but his Heaven-Extinguishing Inferno did make some progress. After experiencing two God’s Sobs, he had six more soul swords, making it a total of 48.

“It is about time. I will rest for a moment and go out to check the situation.”

Jiang Yi extended his divine senses and took a glance at Jiang Xiaonu and Xiao Fei. When he saw that one of them was in seclusion and the other was in a deep sleep, his body flashed and teleported out.

“Boss!”

“Young Master!”

On the outside, Qian Wanguan and the others were alerted as they were all gathered in the main hall. When they saw Jiang Yi teleporting out, they quickly stood up with joy.

Jiang Yi nodded and asked Qian Wanguan, “How is the situation in the city?”

“Very good!”

Qian Wanguan rubbed his proud face and grinned. “I am considered a famous person in the city now, and the various clans are very polite to me. Lu Lin and Lei Qiyan wouldn’t dare to do anything to us. As long as we don’t exit the city and with Big Brother Taotian here, no one would dare to mess with us.”

“That is fine then.”

Jiang Yi smiled and just as he wanted to go out to chat with Huangfu Taotian, Qian Wanguan spoke with embarrassment, “Boss, can I ask you a favor?”

“What is it?” Jiang Yi tilted his head and asked.

Qian Wanguan rubbed his nose embarrassedly and said, “Boss, can you paint me a Heaven Painting? I promised to give someone a Heaven Painting.”

“Who is it?” Jiang Yi looked at Qian Wanguan with suspicious eyes and mocked suddenly, “It must be a woman, right? Which clan’s young lady?”

“Hehe, nothing can escape Boss’ discerning eyes!” Qian Wanguan bootlicked Jiang Yi, smiled naively, and said, “It is Young Lady Yinian. She said she wanted a unique landscape painting which is nominated to her for keepsake.”

“Situ Yinian?”

Jiang Yi frowned and said, “That Young Lady isn’t bad, but it is a pity that she is a member of the Situ Clan. Wanguan, you better don’t have any intention. A Young Lady of such a great clan will not be able to decide her own marriage.”

“I understand!”

Qian Wanguan smiled bitterly. If he was truly an artist of Heaven Paintings, things might be easier—but he wasn’t. He was even a cripple that refined the dao pattern shards and would never be able to increase his strength for this lifetime. He wasn’t worthy for Situ Yinian, and if the Situ Clan knew the truth, they would never agree to it.

“Alright. When I come back, I will paint one for you.”

Jiang Yi patted Qian Wanguan’s shoulder and walked out. The outside had already regained its peace, and Huangfu Taotian was smiling at starting at the front courtyard. When he saw Jiang Yi walking over, he smiled and transmitted a message: “Congratulations to Brother Jiang for the breakthrough. The power of the Nine Heaven Stars is abnormally precious. Brother truly has to use it prudently.”

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi didn’t really understand the power of the Nine Heaven Stars. Huangfu Taotian’s statement had invigorated Jiang Yi as he quickly asked, “Big Brother Huangfu, what are the uses of this power of the stars?”

Huangfu Taotian paused for a moment and swept his divine senses inside the courtyard. After he made sure that no one dared to extend their divine senses in, he walked over and led Jiang Yi into a small hall inside the front courtyard. He activated the restriction and said, “The power of the Nine Heaven Stars is also said to the power of gods and has endless uses. Heaven and earth will only bestow such power when one comprehends a dao pattern above the five-star rank. One might receive the power of the stars if one is able to comprehend a special dao pattern. Martial artists would also receive the power of Nine Heaven Stars when they break through from the peak-stage Heaven Monarch Realm to the Demigod Realm.”

“Demigod? Is it the realm that is close to the gods? The realm of those East Imperial Nine Thearchs?” Jiang Yi asked curiously.

“Yes, it is!”

Huangfu Taotian explained, “Experts set this realm as the Demigod, meaning half an immortal. The realm above the Heaven Monarch would be the Demigod Realm. Even further would be the realm that the Mystic Thearch had reached, smashing the void and ascending to the heavens. There aren’t a lot of Demigods in this world. Even adding all the Demon Sovereigns, there are less than a hundred. The Mystic Thearch is the only person to smash the void and achieve ascension.”

“Half an immortal.”

Jiang Yi sighed deeply. The North Thearch, Wu Shang, was half an immortal. Since he was linked to an immortal, his combat strength would definitely be at an unimaginable level. Jiang Yi reckoned that Wu Shang would be able to crush a peak-stage Heaven Monarch with one finger. Jiang Yi’s nemesis was the North Thearch, Wu Shang. The moment Jiang Bieli had perished was the moment he swore to eradicate the entire Martial Arts Hall!

“Brother Jiang doesn’t have to be discouraged.”

Huangfu Taotian seemed to have seen through Jiang Yi’s worries as he smiled and consoled, “Demigods aren’t gods, and as long as they aren’t gods, they can be killed! Furthermore… even if they are truly gods, it doesn’t mean they cannot be killed. They, too, cultivated from a mortal. Since they can cultivate to become a Demigod or Gods, why can’t we do the same? Man can conquer nature, and as long as our hearts are strong enough, we will be able to defy the heavens!”

“En!”

Jiang Yi’s eyes lit up. He paused for a moment, cupped his hands to Huangfu Taotian, and said, “Many thanks for Big Brother’s pointers. That’s right… you have yet to talk about the power of the Nine Heaven Stars.”

Huangfu Taotian smiled and nodded before he explained. “The power of the Nine Heaven Stars is a very special divine power. It can be used for offense, but it would be a waste. It can be used to nurture and temper pseudo-divine artifacts, allowing the pseudo-divine artifacts to have a higher chance of making a spiritual connection. At the same time, it could be used to enhance the power of the essence force. If one is to fuse some power of the Nine Heaven Stars into the attack, the power of the attack would surely increase significantly, making it very easy to smash Heaven Monarch’s divine shield and kill them in a single move!

“En… previously on Gods Bestow Sea, you should have seen my fight with Qing Long, right? I used the spiritual connecting cardinal treasure with my five-star high-grade dao pattern and even fused in a little trace of the power of stars. It was why Qing Long admitted defeat as he would die if he didn’t. Of course, Qing Long wasn’t very strong himself. His cultivation realm might be at the peak stage of the Heaven Monarch, but he didn’t fuse any high-grade dao pattern. The power of the Nine Heaven Stars has many other usages, and you can explore it for yourself.”

“Oh, okay!”

Jiang Yi nodded in agreement as he had already found one of the functions, which was to refine flames. The flames that were refined by the power of stars would all increase in strength by a few folds.

“The power of stars can actually nurture a pseudo-divine artifact and make it easier for spiritual connection?”

Jiang Yi had an idea. If he could make a spiritual connection with the Fire Cloud Armor, his defenses would definitely increase by a few folds. He had silently decided that when he went back to seclusion, he would circulate some power of stars to nurture the Fire Cloud Armor.

After being in seclusion for two months, he didn’t make any progress in the dao pattern fusion. Taking advantage of the fact that Huangfu Taotian was here, Jiang Yi paused and asked humbly, “Big Brother Huangfu, I have a high-grade dao pattern which I already fused six low-grade dao patterns, but I am still unable to fuse the remaining three dao patterns after a long time. Are there any better methods?”

“Didn’t you just fuse a dao pattern earlier?”

Huangfu Taotian looked at Jiang Yi with suspicion and felt that Jiang Yi was a freak. Jiang Yi was bestowed with the power of stars not because he fused a high-grade dao pattern? Could he have comprehended some special dao pattern?

When he saw Jiang Yi hesitating to say something, he put up his hand quickly—indicating for Jiang Yi to not say anything. Everyone had their own secrets, and he wouldn’t question more. He muttered for a moment and said, “There is no other way to fusing dao patterns, and it depends on one’s comprehension. I advise you to spend one billion celestial stones and enter the Nangong Clan’s Mystic Realm to take a look. You might just comprehend something?”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi stood up and said, “That will do. Big Brother, get some rest. I will go take a look at the Nangong Clan’s Mystic Realm tomorrow.”
