Lin Yan and the others looked at the invisible fire python in the light and felt a sense of horror.
Even through the seal, they felt their own insignificance in the face of the surging magma, yet the invisible fire python remained completely unharmed within it.
The enormous head that emerged from the magma naturally saw the few ant-like creatures standing not far away, but then its gaze fixed on Xiao Fan, and it let out a series of roars.
The bodies hovering within the pillar of light also became violently entangled.
It made several attempts to break through, but was blocked by the seal in front of it. Enraged, it instantly spewed invisible flames toward the top of the tower.
Those who remained standing breathed a sigh of relief.
In the brief moment the giant python stared at them, they even found it extremely difficult to mobilize their internal fighting spirit.
Even Zi Yan huddled behind Xiao Fan, tightly gripping his sleeve.
At this moment, Xiao Fan felt a little trembling inside.
Just now, he could clearly sense that the Fallen Heart Flame was looking at him!
When the flames were staring at him, Xiao Fan even felt that his fighting spirit seemed to have stopped, and the Chaos Fire almost burst out of his body, but fortunately he managed to suppress it.
"Xiao Fan... what's wrong?"
Zi Yan, who was hiding behind Xiao Fan, noticed Xiao Fan's trembling hands and teased, "You were so scared after just one glance."
She then pouted and patted her chest, saying to Xiao Fan, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
She completely forgot how she had been so frightened that she had hidden behind Xiao Fan just moments before.
Fortunately, everyone was in poor condition, so no one noticed that something was wrong with Xiao Fan.
Xiao Yan glanced at Xiao Fan with a strange look, but seeing Xiao Fan gently shake his head at him, he said nothing more.
Chapter 241 Aura Leak
"Why are you still here?"
Just as Lin Xiuya and the others were frightened by the giant fire python, several figures flashed by. When everyone looked over, several elders appeared there, and the one in the lead was none other than the Grand Elder Su Qian.
Seeing Xiao Fan and the others still standing there, he hurriedly said, "You should leave the tower immediately."
Lin Xiuya and the others nodded reluctantly at the obviously anxious Grand Elder and the others, and were about to leave when they noticed that after saying a few words to them, the Grand Elder fixed his gaze on the giant python inside the seal.
At this moment, the giant fire serpent also discovered the seal that was blocking it, which was spreading down from the top of the tower.
It spews out endless invisible flames, constantly burning the seal at the top of the tower.
Even through the array, the space within appeared somewhat distorted under the baking of the invisible flames. The pillar-shaped seal that pierced through the entire Heavenly Flame Refining Tower also gradually faded under the baking of the invisible flames.
"Damn it, this thing has done something, its energy has surged, and this seal probably can't stop it at all!"
The elder frowned and said in a low voice, looking at the seal that had become somewhat weak after being baked by the invisible flames for more than thirty seconds.
"Elder, what should we do now?"
The elders following behind the Grand Elder looked at the invisible fire python writhing within the seal, and were also very worried. They asked the question.
The First Elder glanced at the pillar of light in the center of the Black Tower, then instructed the elders behind him: "It seems that the seal of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower cannot stop it. All elders, come with me immediately. We can only try to reseal it using the formation left behind by the Dean."
Just as they were about to leave, the Grand Elder saw Xiao Fan and his group still standing there. He didn't care about them anymore and immediately scolded, "Aren't you going out?! Get out now and stop anyone from approaching the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower."
Seeing the grand procession of the Grand Elder and his group, Xiao Fan and his companions hurriedly prepared to leave the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.
But just as they were about to make a move, a series of black shadows flew past them. The elders and the others suddenly unleashed extremely fast movements, surpassing them and taking the lead in leaving the tower to prepare for the seal.
Startled by the speed displayed by the Grand Elder and the others, Lin Xiuya and his group dared not linger any longer and quickly left the tower.
As soon as they stepped out of the Heavenly Flame Qi Refining Tower's area, everyone immediately noticed that countless students were standing at a distance outside the tower, cautiously observing them.
In the sky, dozens of figures with wings on their backs and radiating multicolored battle aura floated around the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. Faint threads connected them together, and upon closer inspection, the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower was clearly located in the center of them.
After exiting the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance, then their flying combat techniques trembled slightly, and they landed in the sky not far away, observing the changes in the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.
"Where are Xiao Fan and the others?"
Lin Yan and his group, who had hidden near the crowd, only then realized that Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan had disappeared, and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"There it is!"
Zi Yan, with her sharp eyes, spotted the two people in mid-air. She pointed at them and then pouted, saying, "The Grand Elder told us to leave quickly, so why are they still so close?"
"Don't worry, they should know what's going on and nothing will happen."
Lin Yan glanced at their positions; they were outside the circle of elders, so they should be fine. He then spoke.
At that moment, the strange fire within Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan flickered rapidly, almost uncontrollably. Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan exchanged a glance and said simultaneously, "The seal has been broken!"
As soon as the two finished speaking, the top of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower emitted a loud roar and then exploded.
The enormous head of the invisible fire python instantly emerged from the top of the tower, constantly coiling around the top and roaring towards the sky with a human-like excitement in its voice.
As the explosion occurred, countless streams of magma and flames shot out from the top of the tower, turning the area within a hundred meters around the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower into a sea of fire.
On the rooftops, treetops, and in the open space hundreds of meters away, the sight of the giant fire python suddenly emerging from the tower's spire caused an immediate uproar.
They had no idea that such a terrifying creature was sealed within the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower where they had been cultivating.
"What kind of monster is this?!"
Having left the area of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower and witnessed the terrifying power of the giant flame python, Lin Yan and the others couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"This is not a Warcraft."
Upon hearing Lin Yan's words, Zi Yan immediately retorted.
"Oh? Senior Ziyan knows what this is?"
"Of course I know, this is... is... anyway, it's not a monster."
Zi Yan's true form is a magical beast, so she has some senses and can perceive the strangeness of this strange fire. However, it would be difficult for her to explain what it is.
No one objected to Zi Yan's words; they simply stared silently in the direction of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.
The elders' expressions changed upon seeing the giant fiery python break free of its seal. The elder immediately ordered, "All elders, immediately form the 'Thousand-Layer Seal'!"
"Yes!"
As the Grand Elder finished speaking, the battle qi of the dozen or so Dou Wang level elders flying in the sky erupted instantly.
The multicolored battle aura painted the entire sky with dazzling brilliance, a stark contrast to the endless flames soaring from the ground.
The faint threads connecting the dozen or so elders, as they poured their battle qi into them, quickly expanded into a dense, intricate net.
Among the dozen or so elders, this network of seals was densely packed, appearing to possess extraordinary defensive capabilities.
"Humph!"
The Grand Elder stood at the forefront, looking at the giant flaming python at the top of the tower. Then, he grabbed with both hands, and the endless array behind him instantly enveloped the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower.
The fire python hovering at the top of the tower also noticed the actions of the Grand Elder and the others. Its huge mouth let out a roar, and countless invisible flames surged towards the net-like seal in the sky.
However, the formation that gathered the power of more than ten Battle Kings still enveloped the top of the tower, and the space left for the giant fire python was gradually compressed.
It seemed that it had discovered that the space left for itself was getting smaller and smaller, and that the invisible flames could not have any effect on the net.
The invisible fire python revealed its anxious emotions in a human-like manner.
The countless invisible flames that spread across the sky contracted rapidly in an instant, finally transforming into a snake-shaped flame as thick as an arm.
"Ok?"
Even the Grand Elder sensed a threat from the flames compressed by the Fire Python, and instantly increased the output of his battle qi in an attempt to intercept them.
As long as we hold out until the formation completely shrinks inside the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower, this riot will be completely over.
A snake-shaped flame, as thick as an arm, landed in a corner of the array net under everyone's gaze, and then, to the Elder's horrified eyes, it exploded!
"not good!"
Upon noticing the explosion, the Grand Elder felt a sudden sense of foreboding.
As expected, the explosion of the serpentine flames tore open a tiny opening in the almost dense seal, and a fierce and violent aura instantly emanated from it.
The violent power of the invisible fire python instantly made everyone in the inner courtyard feel numb. This violent and scorching aura could be clearly seen even in the Black Corner Region, hundreds of miles away.
Chapter 242 Joint Seal
On the other side of the mountain where the inner courtyard of Canaan College is located.
This is the infamous chaotic land of the continent, the Black Corner Region.
Not far from the mountains is a city called Maple City.
Maple City holds a prominent position within the Black Corner Region, all thanks to Han Feng, the only sixth-grade alchemist in the region.
This Maple City is named after him. There are only a handful of such cities in the entire Black Corner Region.
As a sixth-grade alchemist, Han Feng commands respect from everyone in the Black Corner Region.
After all, the network of connections of a sixth-grade alchemist is extremely terrifying.
Within Maple City, there is an extremely vast bamboo forest. If one were to mistakenly wander into this place, one would likely die without even knowing how.
Every year, countless people are killed because they mistakenly wander into this place.
In the bamboo forest, there is a two-story pavilion. On the second floor, near the window close to the bamboo forest, a middle-aged man who looks to be in his thirties is dressed in an alchemist's robe, sitting cross-legged on a futon, holding a prescription in his hand. He looks quite handsome, and there is always a faint smile on his lips.
Swish!
