167: Spirits of the ancestors

However, just as the Azure Emperor Sect Disciples were conversing, the Shenhuo Clan and Young Master Tianyan were already fiercely battling each other.

"Young Miss Glazed Fire, I truly didn't expect you to be the possessor of a perfect Fire Dao Body. It's truly enviable," Young Master Tianyan said with a smile.

As he spoke, he directly raised his hand and shook it.

Flames erupted everywhere, gushing towards the Shenhuo Clan.

The flames were golden yellow throughout, seemingly embodying the will of divine fire burning the heavens, making people dare not look directly. It was clear these were no ordinary flames.

"Hehe, Young Master Tianyan, you are also very impressive. You possess the Legacy of a Supreme expert, much stronger than a weak woman like me," the Shenhuo Clan said with a smile.

Boom!!!

Immediately after, she let out an angry roar, and the Dao rhyme of the Great Dao of Fire erupted from her body.

She completely repelled the divine flames released by Young Master Tianyan.

"As expected of a perfect Fire Dao Body, her words dictate the Law, commanding all fires under heaven. She is truly strong."

Seeing his Move so easily neutralized by the Shenhuo Clan, Young Master Tianyan frowned slightly.

However, not long after, a surging, incomparably scorching power erupted from his body again.

"Hehe, Young Miss Glazed Fire, you must be careful. I'm getting serious now," Young Master Tianyan said with a smile.

As this terrifying Aura erupted, his skin seemed to suddenly crack open.

His entire body was covered in dense runes of the Law of Flame Dao rhyme, making him look like a Flame Demon from the abyss, his whole body enveloped by a strange scorching Aura.

Then, not long after the Law of Flame appeared, a strange phantom suddenly appeared on Young Master Tianyan's body, causing countless Disciples below the arena to feel their hearts pound.

"Oh my god, it seems Young Master Tianyan is getting serious!"

"Yes, he even summoned his Ancestral Spirit."

"Ancestral Spirit?! What is that? Why have I never heard of it?"

"The Ancestral Spirit is an important tool that the Flame Clan has used to maintain its say in the Sacred Flame Dao Domain since ancient times."

"Yes, I heard that children of the Flame Clan learn a strange secret art called 'Spirit Summoning Art' from a young age. They can turn the Souls of their deceased Family ancestors into their Ancestral Spirits, and then use the ancestors' power to fight others."

"Holy moly, is it that strong? This is practically cheating!"

"Brother, this is a cruel Cultivation World. Who cares about such things? Grow up a little, alright?"

Everyone looked at Young Master Tianyan and discussed, making Lin Xiao, who was nearby, couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"I didn't expect that this Xuanhuan World actually has such a strange art, where one can entrust their ancestors to their own body. This should also count as a form of eternal life," Lin Xiao murmured.

Then he looked at the phantom of the red-bearded Old Ancestor on Young Master Tianyan's body, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Alas, I don't know what side effects this secret art has. If the side effects are minor, then this secret art would be invincible!" Lin Xiao thought to himself.

After all, in the entire Xuanhuan World, there are simply too many powerful individuals.

If this secret art of the Flame Clan were to spread, and every Cultivator could use the strength of their powerful ancestors to fight, it would undoubtedly be somewhat terrifying.

Every Cultivator, with a raise of a hand, could cause mountains and rivers to crumble. That scene, just thinking about it is exciting.

Of course, this was just a thought. Lin Xiao was still clear that all of this was impossible.

After all, setting aside whether the Flame Clan would be willing to leak the secret art.

Just considering ordinary Cultivators, it's impossible to guarantee that everyone has a peerless expert in their ancestry.

However, as Lin Xiao was lost in thought.

At this moment, the battle between the Shenhuo Clan and Young Master Tianyan had officially entered a white-hot stage.

"My descendant, why have you summoned me?" The phantom of the red-bearded Old Ancestor, summoned by Young Master Tianyan, looked at him and said indifferently.

His speech was extraordinary, and one could tell at a glance that this person was definitely not an ordinary important figure in life, but a super important figure.

"Tianyan greets Old Ancestor, I humbly request Old Ancestor to lend me Spiritual Qi to win today's competition," Young Master Tianyan said respectfully to the red-bearded Old Ancestor.

"Lend power? Have you encountered a troublesome opponent?" the red-bearded Old Ancestor asked, surprised.

As he spoke, he scanned the surroundings of Young Master Tianyan with his eyes.

At first, there was no change, but when he saw the Shenhuo Clan, the red-bearded Old Ancestor couldn't help but become somewhat solemn.

"I didn't expect that in this era, there would still be a possessor of a perfect Fire Dao Body. It seems the true grand era is coming," the red-bearded Old Ancestor sighed and said.

After speaking, he looked at Young Master Tianyan again and continued.

"I can lend you power, but since you can't even defeat a peer, after you win today's competition, you should go into seclusion and Cultivate properly for this Old Ancestor," the red-bearded Old Ancestor said.

Hearing the red-bearded Old Ancestor's words, Young Master Tianyan quickly nodded.

He respectfully said, "Yes, Old Ancestor. As long as I win this competition, tomorrow... oh no, tonight I will immediately go into seclusion."

As his words fell, the entire phantom of the red-bearded Old Ancestor directly burrowed into Young Master Tianyan's body.

And with the red-bearded Old Ancestor's influx, Young Master Tianyan's Aura also surged dramatically at this moment.

Exotic fires permeated his body, Dao rhyme Laws intertwined, and scorching Spiritual Qi covered him.

He was like a God of Flame; ordinary people, just by looking at him, would feel a burning, stinging sensation in their eyes.

"Hehe, Young Miss Glazed Fire, let's continue," Young Master Tianyan said with a smile, feeling the extremely vast power within his body, his tone full of confidence.

However, no sooner had his words fallen than he was immediately met with the Shenhuo Clan's ridicule.

"So, the younger one couldn't win, so the older one came out. You even have to invite your ancestors to a competition; you're truly useless," the Shenhuo Clan said with a sarcastic laugh.

However, Young Master Tianyan was unfazed by this.

"Winning is strength, and besides, the clan spirit is inherently a part of my own being. This doesn't seem like cheating, does it?" Young Master Tianyan said with a smile.

His Flame Clan Disciples had to bind a suitable clan spirit from a young age, and after such a long period of growth, they and their clan spirits were long inseparable.

So, cheating, in Young Master Tianyan's view, was simply nonsense.

"Hehe, as long as you're happy. In that case, let's just begin," the Shenhuo Clan said with a smile.

She actually didn't care much about such things.

Because Young Master Tianyan was right: winning is strength, and the process itself isn't that important.

Having grown up in the wilderness of the Chaos World, the Shenhuo Clan had known this truth since childhood.

As the Shenhuo Clan's clear voice fell, the two continued to battle fiercely.

The Shenhuo Clan's Fire Dao Body was fully unleashed, divine fires swirling; Young Master Tianyan was protected by his ancestor, his Supreme flame invincible.

Neither could surpass the other, fighting to a stalemate in the arena.

In just a few breaths, the two had exchanged seven or eight hundred Moves or more.

The people below the arena watched, utterly stunned, feeling a chilling dread at the strength of the two.
