Chapter 4364: The Surprise of the Lamp

ell.>Especially Dao Yuan's eyes are really distinctive. Once you've seen them, you'll never forget them.He left a statue here, which is tantamount to telling everyone that he had been to the Great Des...The appearance of the ancient emperor's figure was within Leng Yichen, Jia Lao, and even Jiang Yun's expectations.

Since Yan Tianqi has colluded with the ancient emperor, the ancient emperor must inevitably send out some power to protect Yan Tianqi and prevent him from falling.

But even Gingercloud did not expect that the power bestowed by the ancient Emperor on Yan Tianqi would be so powerful, it was simply the true power of an emperor.

This made Jiang Yun's heart sink!

Ginger Cloud's sudden attack on Yan Tianqi at this time was due to a sound transmission she received from Leng Yichen beforehand.

The ones who truly want to draw out the power of the Emperor are Leng Yichen and Master Jia!

At this point, even if they wanted to save themselves, they were simply powerless.

There's no way, they are just quasi-emperor powerhouses, unable to withstand the strike of an ancient emperor.

Fortunately, Ginger Cloud had never pinned his hopes on others. So before attacking Yan Tianqi, he had also thought of a way to save himself.

At this critical moment, Jiang Yun took out the Wuyan Puppet Lantern. With a thought, a tiny flame ignited on the wick.

Though the flames were not strong, the ripples they emitted gave the surrounding space a sense of impending collapse.

The stones bestowed by Gu San and the Five Peaks of Dahuang might be able to withstand this palm strike from the Emperor, but any exposure would also make oneself an enemy of the extraterrestrial enemies.

Therefore, the twenty flames within this flameless lamp were intentionally left by Jiang Yun for the Sovereign.

However, just as Jiang Yun was about to throw the dou deng fire bomb and meet the ancient Emperor's palm, he suddenly discovered that the fire, inexplicably, remained motionless.

"Fire alone shines!"

Jiang Yun's divine sense moved, instantly transforming into a roar that charged directly into the Wuyan Kuaiden. Beside Huo Duoming, it exploded like thunder.

Ginger Cloud guessed correctly, it was Huo Du Ming who temporarily restrained the little lamplight, preventing it from being released.

But at the same time, a conflicted look appeared on Huo Duoming's handsome face. His two eyebrows were almost touching each other as he muttered to himself, "Should I save him"

Although Gingercloud had paid little attention to the flameless puppet lamp since he received it, having been sealed inside for over four hundred years, he had become the lamp's sole spirit fire. As such, he was incredibly knowledgeable about the flameless puppet lamp.

The more he understood, the more Huo Du Ming was astonished.

Because the power and effects of this lamp far exceed his, even surpassing the imagination of anyone.

With the aid of flameless puppets, Huo Du Ming can practice and his progress is surprisingly fast.

As his strength improved, so did his understanding of the Flameless Lantern.

But even today, now that he has become a Sky-Defying Realm expert, he knows that he still hasn't fully understood the function of this lamp.

The reason is simple; he is not the spirit of the no-flame lantern itself!

He was forcibly imprisoned in the lamp by Jiang Yun. Thanks to his unique life form as a fire demon, he became a spirit of the lamp by chance.

Therefore, he knew that even if he became the Emperor, he probably wouldn't be able to fully control the Wuyan Puppet Lamp.

The reason is also very simple, he is a spirit, not the master of the flameless puppet!

The only person in the world who can truly control the Wuyan Puppet Lantern and fully utilize its power is Jiang Yun!

Originally, Gingercloud could also have discovered the extraordinary nature of the Flameless Lantern. However, Huodumeng concealed it in secret, using his spirit as a seal to mask the lantern's aura.

Besides, Gingercloud genuinely never thought the Flameless Puppet Lamp was anything extraordinary from start to finish. Therefore, she was easily deceived by Huo Duming's concealment of its past.

If Gingercloud were to put some thought into it, he would definitely realize something was amiss.

Besides nothing else, the fact that Huo Du Ming shines alone in a flameless puppet lamp, from a blessed land cultivator of the Dao Domain, gradually cultivating to become a powerful being of the Against Heaven realm, yet never attracting a Heavenly Tribulation, is enough to make one ponder deeply.

While Huo Du Ming held a deeply conflicted emotional state towards Jiang Yun.

On one hand, he hated Jiang Yun with a burning passion.

Because Ginger Cloud killed his father, destroyed his sect, and harbors an unpardonable grudge against him.

On one hand, Jiang Yun spared his life and even gave him a great opportunity.

Sometimes, he even felt that in Jiang Yun's heart, there was no longer any resentment towards him, but instead, she treated him as one of her own. This filled him with both emotion and gratitude towards Jiang Yun.

To his relief, despite this conflicting mindset, he never had the opportunity to kill Jiang Yun, nor did he ever have the chance to easily help him.

So, all he could do was always conceal the extraordinary nature of the flameless puppet lantern, secretly cultivating and enhancing his own strength.

But, things are different now!

Twenty flames, forged from the Emperor's fire, floated within the Wuyan puppet lamp. These flames made it clear to him that at this very moment, the Wuyan puppet lamp possessed the ability to save Jiang Yun.

But he also knew that as long as Jiang Yun was hit by this palm, there was no doubt he would die. Then, even if he avenged himself, what's the point

Hearing Jiang Yun's roar, Huo Duoming's heart trembled instantly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Yun, I must avenge my father!"

"At worst, after you die, I'll collect your bones and bury them with this lamp as a companion, repaying you for sparing my life!"

As soon as the words left his lips, Huo Du Ming closed his eyes, ignoring Jiang Yun’s roar.

After Gingercloud's roar, he didn't receive a response from Firebright, making him faintly guess at something. However, he currently had no time to consider Firebright.

With a flick of his wrist, a stone from the ancient San period appeared in his other hand.

However, just as he was about to crush the stone, a mark shaped like a four-petal flower, which his master had given him, suddenly appeared on his brow.

The mark appeared, immediately coming to life and radiating four beams of light, forming a four-petaled flower that hovered before Jiang Yun's face.

Flowers of the ancient burial!

And with the appearance of this flower, the Emperor's hand, which was about to fall on Jiang Yun, froze in mid-air as if time had stopped. It could no longer move forward.

Looking at the ancient burial flower, Leng Yichen and Old Jia both wore expressions of confusion.

They didn't know what it was, how it could possibly withstand the Emperor's power.

And in the distance, the blurry figure of the Emperor behind Yan Tianqi stood, but at the position of his eyes, a surge of immense light suddenly erupted.

From his mouth came two words only Ginger Cloud could hear: "Venerate the ancients!"

Meanwhile, within the Forbidden Zone, in that magnificent palace, the roar of the Emperor also rang out: "Respect Ancestors!"

As one who venerates the ancient, you are already dead, yet you still wish to protect your disciples. Even so far as to give them the Burial Flower of Antiquity.

"Could it be that you want your disciple to be like you, continuing to revere the ancients and keep me under their thumb"

"That flower that buries the ancients, it should have been mine, it was mine!"

"Today, I killed your disciple and took your Funeral Ancient Flower."

"From now on, there will be no reverence for the ancients in this world, only my imperial majesty!"

"Kill!"

As the Emperor's roar echoed, above Jiang Yun, that palm frozen by the ancient flower trembled slightly.

Evidently, the Emperor is going all out, intending to continue unleashing this palm strike and kill Jiang Yun.

A cold light flashed in Jiang Yun's eyes, and he spat out three words again between his teeth: "Fire, Alone, Ming!"

Since the ancient flowers temporarily blocked the Emperor's hand, giving Ginger Cloud precious time, Ginger Cloud didn't want to use Gu San's stone.

After all, once it is used, one will also be considered by Leng Yichen and the others as having colluded with Gu in secret.

Therefore, he still wanted to use the twenty flames of the no-flame puppet lamp to dissolve the attacks of the Emperor.

Of course, Hu Duming knew about changes in the outside world.

Although he didn't know what happened between the ancients, seeing the Emperor's palm fixed in mid-air made him realize that this time, he was probably still unable to kill Jiang Yun.

And hearing Ginger Cloud's second roar, Huo Duoming's body trembled slightly. In the blink of an eye, he hurriedly spoke, "Sir, you misunderstood. I was just accumulating strength to give you a surprise."

Ginger Cloud coldly said, "What a surprise!"

"Here's a surprise about this lamp!"

As Huo Duo Ming's voice fell, the twenty flames within the lamp suddenly surged together, forming a river of fire that flowed into one of the four puppet figures that constituted the no-flame puppet lamp base...ve the Zhundi Sword. Looking at Jiang Mu sitting there, they smiled and asked: "Old Jiang, how have you been recently"Jiang Mu stood up and smiled, "It's still the same old me. I'm leaving!"After utte...
