Chapter 93: The Fire Origin Tribulation, Heaven and Earth's Will

  It was as if a bucket of beast oil had ignited in the void, surrounding Wu Tie's body within a ten-meter radius. A bright orange-red flame burst forth in the void, and the air violently twisted around it. As far as the eye could see, the mountains and clouds in front of him began to distort through the space where Wu Tie was standing, like a reflection on the surface of a lake. With just a gentle breeze, they shattered without any reason.

  The air slowly became heavy, at this moment the mountain top was originally still with the mountain wind as if it had disappeared, the air was quietly terrifying, in everyone's gaze, tens of meters above the dark iron, the air twisted into a vortex shape, and the color gradually changed from its original transparency to orange-red.

  This mass of air was about twenty zhang in diameter, and the entire thing seemed like a swirling orange-red nebula. The unbearably oppressive heat that had formed in this mass of air at that instant pressed down towards the platform below with overwhelming force.

  Sigh——

  The layer of mountain spring water that had been sprinkled on the ground almost evaporated clean in a few breaths, and the faces of the people standing on the observation deck all changed slightly, although they were not at the center of the platform, but this hot air was almost as hot as boiling water for brewing tea.

  First to resist was the newly-promoted Ming Xue'er, who saw her white teeth lightly biting, a hint of stubbornness in her watery eyes, as a layer of blue sword energy about an inch thick floated up on her body, and a faint chill spread out, barely blocking this intense flame.

  Next to Yi Ruoyu, a faint glimmer of surprise flashed across her face. As for the others, only a few weak swordsmen couldn't withstand such an aura, and a faint sword light appeared on their bodies.

  The ancient sword wind, including Nie Qingtian, Luo Xinyu and Si Tu Chong, were still calm and composed, apparently unaffected by the heat. As for Zhao Qianye, Yi Ruoyu, Lie Feng, Yu Jihua and others who had reached the Sword Guest stage, although their eyebrows were slightly furrowed, they didn't take it seriously either.

  Looking again at Lu Qing, who was standing in front of him, his entire spirit had already completely sunk into the control and comprehension of yuanqi. In the divine consciousness imparted by Ye Lao, the heavenly yuanqi began to surge with unprecedented fury from the moment the sword energy burst forth on Wuti's body. At the same time, numerous fiery red light points that were invisible to the naked eye separated from the churning heavenly yuanqi.

  From those scarlet light spots, Lu Qing felt an extremely lively fire attribute aura, and this fire attribute aura was so pure that even the sword master's fire attribute aura he had seen before, Lijiao Sheng, couldn't compare to it. Lu Qing knew that this was the most pure fire attribute aura from the heavens and earth, separated from the mixed heavenly and earthly auras.

  Those isolated crimson particles seemed to be drawn by some inexplicable force, gathering in the upper air and slowly merging and rotating into a cluster of fiery hot air. And at the moment when that crimson air mass took shape, Lu Qing felt a thrilling wave transmitted from above to his mind.

  However, at this moment, Ye Lao's divine consciousness was also extremely powerful, and with just a slight tremble, he completely dispelled the feeling.

  At this moment, the originally seated Wū Tiě suddenly stood up, and his entire body burst out with an extremely strong fighting spirit. This fighting spirit was mixed with a kind of unyielding pursuit of the way of the sword, which could be clearly seen from Wū Tiě's firm eyes. This made Lù Qīng's whole body's hot blood simmer quietly.

  The black long sword behind was slowly pulled out by Wrought Iron, and with the infusion of Wrought Iron's sword yuan, it slowly emitted a scorching golden light.

  "Golden Sun Stone!" Lu Qing was shocked in his heart. Originally, he felt that this black long sword was a bit strange because he couldn't see what it was cast from, which is almost an unprecedented situation. At this moment, seeing the sword change with the Sword Yuan, finally made him see through it.

  Jinyang Stone, is a refined black iron that has been placed in a location with sunlight for many years, after hundreds of years it absorbs the true fire of the sun and becomes a refined black iron with strong fire energy, which can enhance the sword energy of a swordsman who possesses fire-elemental sword energy to some extent, barely reaching the edge of forging a Qingfan-level divine sword.

  This sword should be at least eighth or ninth grade, Lu Qing thought to himself. With the use of Golden Sunstone, even a first-grade swordsmith could forge a sixth-grade sword if they could withstand the harsh conditions of forging. Looking at this sword, its pattern is clear and its outline is harmonious, it's obviously made by a swordsmith above fifth grade. Of course, all of this was just Lu Qing's own estimation.

  Peng

  In the midst of everyone's solemn gaze, that mass of air rose with astonishing momentum into a fiery blaze, its flames shining like the red sun. To the city guards watching over the walls of Luoshen City at this moment, it seemed as if another sun had risen on the summit of Wangyue Mountain in the distance, and the radiance illuminating their faces even carried a faint warmth.

  At this moment, Lu Qing suddenly had an epiphany in his heart. This ball of air formed by the fusion of Huo Xing's Yuan Qi was what was known as a Yuan Qi Tribulation. Although it was triggered by Wu Tie's sword intent reaching its peak, it was actually generated by the will of heaven and earth. This could also be considered a test for a swordsman's growth by heaven and earth.

  The primordial calamity, Lu Qing's mouth corner revealed a faint smile, at the same time, his eyes flowed out a vigorous battle intent, but he restrained it. At this moment, Wuyi was crossing the tribulation, and if he was disturbed by his battle intent, it would not be good.

  Hmph!

  Finally, with the rotation of the yuanqi vortex, a columnar hollow crimson light screen came down along the edge of the yuanqi vortex and enveloped Wuyin in an instant.

  "This is the Yuanqi Cage drawn by the Yuanqi Tribulation," said Gujian Feng in a soft voice, "Once the Yuanqi Cage is lowered, no one can interfere with the tribulation, otherwise they will receive the same treatment."

  As soon as this sentence came out, it immediately made many people who still had illusions behind him show a disappointed expression. Indeed, if help was possible, even if it meant paying a great price to hire a master swordsman as a bodyguard, it would be worth it. However, the eyes of heaven and earth are clearly discerning, and any deception will be rejected.

  "The tribulation of the origin is divided into three waves of origin attacks, two waves of origin attacks, one wave of origin heart trial, or it can be said that it is a heart demon attack," Gujian Feng explained. Here, he was the only one who had passed the origin tribulation and became the sword master, so naturally, he began to explain to everyone without worrying about Wuti being trapped in the origin prison.

  As expected, just as Gu Jianfeng finished speaking, the Yuan Qi was activated.

  Hiss——

  A scarlet flame descended from the Yuan Qi vortex, its outer layer a deep crimson while its inner core was blue. From the outside in, the air twisted to varying degrees, emitting a sizzling sound.

  At the same time, a momentum no less than that of the Sword Master's Great Heavenly Position burst out from this flame, heavily pressing down on Wuyin.

  The first wave of flames was extremely hot, but for Wrought Iron, it wasn't anything special. Without using any techniques, Wrought Iron had already transformed into a golden long sword pointing towards the descending fierce flames. A nine-zhang-long orange-red sword aura emitting faint golden flames shot out from the sword tip.

  Although they saw Wu Tie's sword aura wrapped in golden flames, no one would think that he possessed a non-five-element sword aura. The type of sword aura that evokes the yuanqi of which element is an iron law of swordsmanship. Obviously, Wu Tie's yuanqi was orthodox fire yuanqi, which explains why Wu Tie had pure fire-attribute sword aura. There can only be one explanation for such a sword aura: the sword in his hand was no ordinary sword.

  Indeed, upon seeing Wu Tie's move, Si Tu Chong, who was standing beside Gu Jian Feng, exclaimed: "I've heard that the Nine-Grade Golden Sun Sword in Wu Dian Zhu's hand can emit a True Yang sword energy that combines with the true fire of the sun. The sword energy is sharp and fierce, capable of melting gold and refining iron. Today, I see it for myself, and indeed it's not an ordinary sound."

  Nine grades, Lu Qing's heart moved slightly. He still underestimated the quality of this sword. It seemed that some rare minerals had been added to it, Lu Qing inferred.

  As the mighty war intent of Wuyetian surged upwards, the scorching True Yang sword energy instantly tore through nine zhang of space and collided with that fierce flame.

  Boom!

  The fierce air wave spread in the yuanqi prison, but it didn't shake that thin layer of crimson light screen at all. Not even a ripple was stirred up, however, the instantaneous tremble of the ground under everyone's feet explained the ferocity of that energy.

  As if provoked by the fierce intent on Wuyi's body and his casual attack, Huoyuan Jie quickly spun around, with waves of hot air spreading out in all directions. Although it was already early spring, the air was still cold, but at this moment, the top of Wangyue Mountain seemed to have entered a fiery summer volcano, with wave after wave of heat rushing towards him.

  At this point, even Yu and Hua, Zhao Qianye and others who had reached the Sword Guest stage couldn't help but release a layer of sword energy to protect themselves. Meanwhile, Ming Xue'er, who was originally struggling to hold on, had already been pulled into the sword energy shield by Yi Ruoyu.

  Originally, Lu Qing didn't need to release his sword energy. With his current body having achieved the first layer of the Purple Emperor Sword, this amount of heat was nothing to him, and even if it doubled, he still had confidence in withstanding it. However, to avoid arousing suspicion from others, he still released a thin layer of wind and thunder sword energy.

  At this time, the swordsmen of Luojing City behind them were shocked. The purple Yang sword energy of Luo Xinyu, the Xunfeng sword energy of Nie Qingtian, and the Hanbing sword energy of the silent woman who never spoke, followed by the Su Yun three women, but what shocked them the most was the layer of purple electric Xunfeng swirling wind and thunder sword energy floating on Lu Qing and Zhao Qianye's bodies.

  "Feng Lei Jian Qi! Still two!" A very low whispering voice came from behind Lu Qing and the others.

  "Look at that young man carrying a large sword, it seems to be Lu Qing, the 15th ranked on the Dragon and Phoenix List!"
