Bruh·Gula's face turned extremely ugly upon hearing the statement.
But in the end, he remained silent not because he didn't want to say anything.
It was because he knew the reason why they had such thoughts.
In fact, if he hadn't fought with Ao Yuan on the ancient battlefield before, his thoughts would have been the same as theirs.
But having experienced the events of the ancient battlefield, Bruh·Gula knew better than anyone that even if Ao Yuan could spare others, he would not spare him.
At this moment.
Under countless gazes, the Tribulation Cloud Flower unleashed another round of attacks.
It seemed to know that simple heavenly fire would not have much effect on Ao Yuan.
As a Tribulation Cloud Flower bloomed, it did not descend immediately.
Instead, it waited for the other Tribulation Cloud Flowers to bloom one after another.
"They want to obliterate me in one go?"
Ao Yuan tilted his dragon head, watching the changes of the Tribulation Cloud Flower and muttering to himself.
"Since that's the case, then let me press my advantage!"
Ao Yuan let out a soft roar and, swimming his body, charged towards the Tribulation Cloud Flower.
"He... he's starting!" The Snow Wolf, who had been watching Ao Yuan closely, trembled uncontrollably.
Ao Yuan's speed was astonishing!
Riding the strong wind, he quickly reached high altitudes, reaching the same level as the Tribulation Cloud Flower.
At such a distance, Ao Yuan felt as if he were standing near the surface of the sun.
He felt as if his body was about to melt from the heat.
"Heavenly fire!"
Ao Yuan squinted his eyes, staring at the budding Tribulation Cloud Flowers before him.
"Roar!"
Then, he let out a high-pitched dragon roar.
The sound echoed through the heavens and earth. Without hesitation, Ao Yuan opened his cavernous maw and swam towards the Tribulation Cloud Flower.
"He's going to devour the Tribulation Cloud Flower raw!" The Fallen Angel's eyes widened, his voice stunned.
"Can... can you tell me if the Tribulation Cloud Flower can be eaten?"
Upon hearing this, Bruh·Gula and the others were all taken aback.
Then, a fear originating from the depths of their hearts surged within them.
Devouring the Tribulation Cloud Flower raw!
Could it be eaten?
They didn't know the answer, as they had never witnessed such a thing.
Normally, who wouldn't fear the Tribulation Cloud Flower and stay far away? How could they be like Ao Yuan?
"Roar!"
While they were talking, Ao Yuan had already pounced before the yet-to-bloom Tribulation Cloud Flowers.
Without hesitation, Ao Yuan opened his mouth and, like a whale, swallowed the surrounding Tribulation Cloud Flowers into his belly!
If it weren't for the residual heat that constantly reminded everyone, at first glance, they would have felt as if it were a dream, as if the Tribulation Cloud Flowers, carrying heavenly fire, had never appeared at all.
Now, Bruh·Gula and his companions could feel the air temperature dropping rapidly as the Tribulation Cloud Flowers were swallowed.
If the temperature were to drop to a normal level, perhaps this heavenly tribulation would indeed pass.
Looking at Ao Yuan, who clearly showed no signs of having suffered any severe blows,
Everyone's expressions froze, their minds seemed to have shut down at that moment.
Could it be that the solution to the invariably fatal heavenly fire tribulation of the seventy-two heavenly tribulations was to swallow the Tribulation Cloud Flower into one's belly?
This... wasn't it a bit too unbelievable?
"Roar roar roar!"
However, at this very moment!
The temperature in the air suddenly and drastically increased again.
Following the anomaly, they saw Ao Yuan's size fluctuate, sometimes large, sometimes small.
His face was filled with pain, and flames boiled all over his body.
At a glance, he looked like a giant furnace.
At this moment, Ao Yuan felt as if his entire body were burning from within, and though he desperately wanted to extinguish it, it was completely useless!
At this point.
The entire Mount Taibai echoed with Ao Yuan's agonizing screams.
Along with his cries, the flames emanating from his body became even more intense, as if he were fuel being burned.
"Is this the heavenly fire activating?"
"Hahaha! I knew heavenly fire wasn't so easy to absorb!"
"He's finished now. Heavenly fire isn't something you can just swallow."
"If he had continued with his previous actions, perhaps nothing would have happened."
"But now, it's absolutely impossible for him to be fine!"
...
Bruh·Gula and his companions, watching from afar as Ao Yuan writhed in pain in mid-air, all wore expressions of schadenfreude.
If they could, they truly wished Ao Yuan would perish under the heavenly tribulation!
Only then would it be the best possible outcome for them.
At this moment!
In mid-air.
Ao Yuan's face changed drastically as he continuously twisted his body.
Even with his physique, the tempering of the heavenly fire was difficult to endure.
Moreover, perhaps because the heavenly fire was inside his body, his healing abilities were completely useless.
He was relying entirely on his own physique to endure.
If they could observe his internal state now, Ao Yuan felt that his body must be scorched black.
"If this continues, I will surely be burned to death by the heavenly fire."
Amidst the pain, Ao Yuan did not forget to ponder a solution.
But in such a short time, how could Ao Yuan come up with a solution?
After all.
This was heavenly fire!
Not some ordinary flame that could be easily extinguished.
"Ah!"
Ao Yuan roared repeatedly!
The heavenly fire didn't just feel like his body was burning; it felt as if his soul was also being tempered.
Boom!
At this moment, a burst of fire appeared.
An incomparably dazzling ball of fire split the sky and struck Ao Yuan.
Bang!
This blow nearly took Ao Yuan's life.
"Roar!"
Ao Yuan let out a pained cry, his body uncontrollably twisting.
At this moment, his entire body, from the inside out, from the outside in, felt ignited.
The scorching sensation was like countless giant ants biting and tearing at him.
Especially his insides, it felt as if tons of TNT had exploded simultaneously within him.
Without any exaggeration, only Ao Yuan, with his incredibly strong physique, could still resist somewhat.
If it were anyone else, under such terrifying power.
They would have long since returned to the embrace of the earth!
Ao Yuan desperately wanted to stop the heavenly fire within him, but he was utterly helpless.
He could only let the heavenly fire rage and surge within his body.
All he could do was endure.
Endure the overwhelming pain.
"No! I can't continue like this!"
Under the pain, Ao Yuan looked up at the remaining heavenly fire in the sky, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes.
"I must stop it, otherwise, even I cannot hold on!"
Ao Yuan's gaze shifted, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he thought of a method.
He possessed the talent to attract lightning, so he could absorb the heavenly tribulation lightning and use it for his own benefit.
Then... could the heavenly fire within his body also be used?
And since he had swallowed it and was digesting it, shouldn't it be even easier?
He would try it first!
As he decided, Ao Yuan immediately began to use his abilities.
Dragon Flame and Weak Water were activated simultaneously.
He wanted to try and see if he could resist the terrifying assault of the heavenly fire with this.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
