Chapter 833: The Firedawn Clan Leader and the Scorching King

What he didn't know was that Tang San's Mysterious Heaven Technique had nothing to do with elements. As long as it was the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, it could be used regardless of the elemental attribute.

Flying in the air, Tang San looked down and saw Fire God City teeming with people. Countless Firedawns were singing and dancing in the streets, all showing expressions of excitement. The entire city had become lively as a result.

Tang San followed Huo Xing as they flew toward the city center. From afar, he saw a platform shaped like a torch. Below it was a vast square where at least tens of thousands of Firedawns had gathered, all looking up at the platform and cheering loudly.

Huo Xing led Tang San directly toward the platform, which spanned several hundred square meters. At the moment, quite a few people were standing on it, from which Tang San immediately sensed powerful auras. Indeed, of the dozens of figures there, almost all were god-level powerhouses.

Landing gracefully on the platform, Elder Huo Xing approached a handsome middle-aged man, over two meters tall, and bowed slightly in respect, saying,

"Clan Leader, the honored guest has arrived."

The man referred to as the clan leader turned to Tang San, his expression kind as he smiled and transmitted,

"Welcome, guest from afar. Though I've heard of humans before, this is my first time seeing one. As rumors say, you do resemble our kin. You're most welcome here."

Tang San smiled and nodded.

"Greetings, Clan Leader. I am Tang San."

At that moment, a voice filled with surprise rang out. "Are you really human?"

Yes, it was a voice and not a divine consciousness transmission, and the words it spoke were in the common language of the Daemon Continent.

Tang San turned his head and saw what seemed to be a young man. He had a tall, upright figure and a somewhat unusual appearance—he was certainly not ugly, but neither was he handsome in the traditional sense. His eyes were somewhat larger than normal, making his facial proportions look a bit off.

Just one glance allowed Tang San to understand the background of this person. This was not a member of the Firedawn clan; rather, the aura of this young man belonged to a clan that Tang San had encountered during the Ancestral Court's Elite Competition!

Fire God City was rich in fire energy, and for this race, the abundance of fire energy stimulated their bloodline, making it impossible for them to conceal their aura.

As expected, it's the Scorching Sunflower clan!

When Huo Xing told him earlier about their connection to the Solstice Empire, Tang San had immediately thought of the Scorching Sunflower clan. With their pure fire attribute, it made perfect sense for them to be close to the Firedawn clan, but he hadn't expected to encounter them here right now. Moreover... Not only was the young man from the Scorching Sunflower clan, but he also had two other powerful members of the clan with him. They seemed to be Demon Kings, while the young man himself was a Great Demon King. With that in mind, perhaps he wasn't really

that

young after all.

Tang San nodded and said, "That's right, I'm human."

The young man asked in surprise, "Who would have thought a human could come here? What is your other bloodline, demon or nymph?"

Upon confirming Tang San's identity as a human, the young man's expression grew visibly more disdainful. Although humans were treated somewhat better in the Solstice Empire compared to the Empyrean Dominion, they were still merely vassals or slaves. Thus, he didn't feel it inappropriate to directly use his divine consciousness to scan Tang San—an act that would have earned him a harsh scolding, if not a direct attack, from one of his demon or nymph peers.

Tang San's expression remained calm, but he sealed himself off, forming a divine consciousness barrier on the surface of his body and unceremoniously blocking the young man's probing.

The young man's expression shifted slightly. The fact that he'd failed to scan this human meant that he was at least at the tenth order, and to his knowledge, there were extremely few humans at that level. Just as he prepared to intensify his probing, the voice of the Firedawn clan leader interrupted him. "Scorching King, you are all guests from afar, and our clan's grand ceremony is about to begin."

A faint red glow naturally rose from the clan leader's body, and an invisible pressure burst forth, instantly placing a barrier between Tang San and the young man who was referred to as the Scorching King.

Scorching King?

Tang San's heart stirred, and he immediately realized that this young man's status had to be quite extraordinary. After all, not every Demon King or Great Demon King in a major clan was granted such a title.

The young man cast a cold glance at Tang San before turning to the clan leader and saying, "Apologies, Clan Leader. I was just curious about how a human could have the ability to come here. As I've mentioned to you before, in our land, humans are merely vassals and slaves. I didn't expect a human to be able to reach the level of a Nymph King. Please, go ahead and start the ceremony."

The Firedawn clan leader smiled slightly, seeming unfazed. He gestured for Tang San to take his place on the opposite side, separated from the Scorching King. He then stepped to the front of the platform, gazing down at the Firedawn clan members who had already begun singing and dancing. He called out in a loud voice,

"Children of the Fire God."

His voice carried far, and without warning, the light in the entire underground cavern suddenly became a bit brighter.

Tang San stood calmly, showing no sign of emotion, but the gears in his brain were spinning at breakneck speed.

When the clan leader stopped the Scorching King's divine consciousness from probing him earlier, he had sensed something — this clan leader actually possessed a trace of divinity.

The kind of divinity Tang San was thinking of was not a matter of cultivation, but rather the qualitative difference between a true god and... lesser beings. Although the clan leader clearly did not possess a divine seat, Tang San was far too familiar with divine seats not to see the traces of one. This made him even more intrigued about this whole place and the people here. What was the true origin of the Firedawn clan, and how could divinity appear among them?

As the clan leader's voice rang out, the previously boisterous Fire God City fell into an eerie silence.

The clan leader raised his right hand, and a long scepter slowly appeared in his palm. The shaft was about three meters long, and it had a large spherical gemstone at its top. The gemstone wasn't red but rather an unusual rainbow color, with multicolored flames dancing upon it.

When the flames appeared, Tang San's heart trembled.

What kind of fire is this? It's not Rainbow Skyfire Liquid, but it definitely has some connection to it.

Tang San couldn't quite place it, but he was undoubtedly familiar with it from somewhere.

The flame emanating from the multicolored gemstone was the most powerful fire Tang San had ever witnessed, apart from his own Rainbow Skyfire Liquid. The energy it radiated was incredibly fierce, and its level was extremely high. This was true divine fire, the kind that could only be born in a divine realm.

Coupled with the divinity emanating from the Firedawn clan leader, Tang San was almost certain that the Firedawns were not a native species of Falan Planet. They likely came from another world, possibly even a divine realm.

But if that is the case, then how come they are allowed to live on Falan Planet? I suppose this means that the Firedawns' potential is far below mine. They have no real chance of becoming true gods, or else the plane wouldn't allow them to grow like this.

Tang San also noticed that when the Firedawn clan leader took out the scepter, the Scorching King on the other side had a visible emotional reaction. Though the latter hid it well, Tang San's divine consciousness was exceptionally sharp. Moreover, as a true deity with a divine seat, his divinity was far stronger than that of the clan leader.

When the divine scepter appeared, the surrounding fire energy became intensely concentrated, making everyone's divine consciousness fluctuations hard to read. However, that did not apply to Tang San. He immediately felt the Scorching King's desire.

Pretty greedy now, aren't we!

Tang San now had a fairly good idea of why the Scorching King was here.

To be called the Scorching King, this figure clearly held a high position in the Scorching Sunflower clan. He had to be one of the leaders, and if he really was young enough, then he was very likely an Emperor seedling. But Tang San was well aware that the Sunborne Nymph Emperor was a cultivar, so to say. His bloodline was a mutated hybrid that was almost impossible to replicate. So if the Scorching Sunflower clan wanted to produce another Emperor, they were likely better off pursuing a different approach.
