Chapter 670: Demon Race's Reappearance, the Fire Spirit Phoenix

"Do you think he'll succeed?"

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave asked in a low voice as he gazed upon the vast lava lake.

Great Year flew while observing the thousand-mile-long fiery clouds, his expression complex.

In response to the Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave's question, he countered with another question.

"Do you want him to succeed?"

"I..." The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave stammered, his usual composure diminishing since entering the Demon Annihilation Land. At this moment, he felt utterly uncertain.

After a long pause, he spoke in a deep voice, "I don't know. However, although Azure Sun Demon Lord can be domineering, he at least has a bottom line in his actions. When there's no conflict of interest, he won't target me. So... I still hope he succeeds!"

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave believed that if Luo Chen successfully subdued the seemingly powerful Heaven-Burning Fire, his strength would undoubtedly increase.

With this, their team would be more secure during the subsequent journey.

Great Year let out a cold laugh upon hearing this, but he didn't offer any evaluation.

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave was curious, "What about you?"

"Whether he succeeds or not has nothing to do with me, but overall, I hope he fails to subdue the Heaven-Burning Fire." Great Year replied casually.

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave was puzzled, "Why? Do you fear he'll threaten your true body?"

"A mere Golden Core Cultivator, no matter how powerful, can't possibly threaten my true body!" Great Year glanced at the Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave, seemingly implying something, then shifted the topic, "I'm just afraid he won't control the situation well, affecting your efforts to break the seals later."

Now it made sense.

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave suddenly understood.

The reason Great Year specifically chose him and Luo Chen wasn't solely for their strength, but also for their exceptional array formation skills!

High-level array masters were rare.

Even in the Northern Sea cultivation world, renowned for its numerous loose cultivators, powerful array masters were often controlled by major sects and families.

Both he and Luo Chen were known as skilled Artificer Masters, but in reality, they also possessed impressive array formation abilities.

Great Year needed their help to break the seals and free his true body.

Whether Luo Chen's strength increased or not wasn't of much concern to him.

However...

"What do you mean by 'not controlling the situation well'?"

Just as the Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave was puzzled, a deep and low voice sounded in his ear.

"Be careful, there's someone on Phoenix Mountain!"

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave was startled. Looking towards Phoenix Mountain, where a lifelike phoenix seemed ready to take flight, he saw a figure sitting cross-legged.

The figure sat silently, a sharp longsword by his side.

Maintaining a hand seal, he remained silent.

"It's Dao Lan!"

With just a glance, the Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave recognized the person's identity, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Didn't he die at the hands of the Demon Emperor?"

Great Year didn't answer his question. Instead, his divine consciousness, centered on Dao Lan, spread wildly.

"Not just one, there are two more!"

"On the left and right peaks."

"No, they're not humans, but two Third Stage Late-stage Great Demon Kings!"

Great Year spoke hurriedly, quickly stating the locations of the one person and two demons.

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave's face changed dramatically, "If Dao Lan is still alive, that's one thing, but why is he with two Great Demon Kings? What are they doing?"

Great Year's expression also turned somber.

His eyes fixed on the towering mountain.

On the main peak, Dao Lan sat alone.

On the left and right peaks, resembling wings, stood a giant squid and a golden toad, each on its respective peak.

The three figures were almost completely unhidden.

Or perhaps, they didn't bother to hide.

"They seem to be jointly activating an array formation!"

After observing for a while, the Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave analyzed what the three were doing.

Great Year nodded slightly, agreeing with this assessment.

Although Phoenix Mountain showed no outward changes, a distinct aura, different from the surroundings, was subtly flowing through it.

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave asked cautiously, "What should we do?"

"Wait!"

Great Year spoke softly, "Wait until Azure Sun Demon Lord finishes his business, then we'll decide."

The Lord of Cloudsoaring Cave nodded repeatedly, this decision aligning with his thoughts.

In his opinion, none of the three—the person or the two demons—were easy to deal with.

Dao Lan, the fourth Eight Star Demon Hunter of the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, possessed formidable combat strength. Even when Ding Yi was alive, he was wary of Dao Lan, only able to interact through enticement.

As for the other two demon beasts, the giant squid was the rumored Giant King Squid.

Although he couldn't identify the golden toad's origin, its association with Dao Lan and the Giant King Squid suggested it wasn't ordinary.

Without Azure Sun Demon Lord and with Great Year unable to fully utilize Ding Yi's physical strength, they couldn't possibly defeat the three.

Thus, they could only wait!

...

On Phoenix Mountain.

Dao Lan sat cross-legged, his spiritual power flowing like a stream, continuously pouring into the mountain beneath him.

His aura was extremely weak, his face pale.

Yet, he couldn't stop his actions, channeling his power into the mountain.

"I never thought that I, a generation's Blade King, would end up in such a predicament. Being someone's puppet is one thing, but to disregard one's foundation and exhaust one's spiritual power to set up an array for others is truly bitter."

Blade Storm had his own reputation.

Due to his long-term stationing at the Flowing Ocean Defense Line and his relentless hunting of ancient beasts, he was flattered by many loose cultivators from the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly, earning him the title of the Beast-Slaying Blade King."

This title, which he rarely used, now seemed bitterly ironic given his current circumstances.

A bitter smile hung on Blade Storm's face as his gaze wandered through this world filled with flames.

"Recently, within the Blazing Hell, volcanoes have been erupting frequently, and the earth keeps shaking. Such strange occurrences must mean that another powerful cultivator has entered."

"I just hope they don't come to Phoenix Mountain; otherwise, I won't be able to return."

Blade Storm shook his head and looked towards the red clouds a few hundred miles away.

Within them, the wind blew and clouds moved, carrying a killing intent.

He remembered that there was a Tier Four Fire Spirit there, which was a Sourceless Fire that had advanced to Tier Four.

This Fire Spirit was exceptionally powerful, and with the advantage of its home terrain, none of the three of them wanted to provoke it lightly.

If they could fight this Fire Spirit to a draw, it would undoubtedly be an existence of unparalleled strength! Such an existence would not easily overlook Phoenix Mountain, a treasure land.

Once the opponent came, there would definitely be a great battle.

"If I can kill the Shark Emperor, I might be able to resolve my situation of being enslaved."

"But if they come here, the first ones I have to deal with are the three of us. If they're too strong, I might die first."

Conflicting emotions swirled within Blade Storm.

Pain filled his eyes, and his heart was in turmoil.

Just then, a loud shout came from a nearby peak.

"Blade Storm, don't stop your spiritual power! If the grand formation is interrupted, the Shark Emperor will definitely question you!"

It was the Giant Squid King.

A flash of anger crossed Blade Storm's eyes.

If it weren't for the Giant Squid King occupying the terrain advantage of the Sinking Sea, and the Demon Emperor cutting off his escape route, he wouldn't have become a captive.

Did they really think so little of him? However, despite his anger, his body obediently increased its spiritual power output.

Within Phoenix Mountain, a strand of azure light suddenly intensified, converging towards a figure.

If Luo Chen were here, he would recognize the identity of this figure.

The Shark Emperor!

A Tier Four Demon Emperor who had escaped from the Arctic Night Demon Heaven!

Strands of azure light gathered around his body, making his aura increasingly profound and unfathomable, and his eyes shone brighter.

Suddenly—

His figure stopped at a constantly burning volcano.

"Found it!"

"It took more than a year, and my footsteps covered the Five Elements World, but I've finally found you!"

Beneath the volcano, endless magma formed a vast lake.

A lotus flower quietly bloomed in the magma lake, its petals displaying five different colors.

As the petals unfolded, the light on the lotus also changed, sometimes glowing gold, sometimes green, and as the fire light flowed, it turned crimson.

Seeing this, the Shark Emperor's eyes lit up with joy.

The Five Elements converged, and the pure life force became even more resilient. A golden lotus grew in the fire, transforming into a divine and immortal existence.

This Five Elements Lotus Platform, rumored to be of exceptional quality, was even better than he had imagined.

"This trip was ultimately worth it!"

As if suppressing his emotions for a long time, the extremely handsome Shark Emperor, at this moment, disregarded his manners and burst into loud laughter.

With his laughter, the magma lake suddenly began to boil.

The Five-Colored Lotus Platform started to slowly sink.

"It has become spirit-linked, I won't let you escape!"

The Shark Emperor's expression changed, and the azure light in his hand surged towards the magma lake.

Not only that, but he also moved his mind, and the Nascent Soul Domain suddenly unfolded!

Blocking the fire attribute spiritual energy in this area, he intended to separate the Five-Colored Lotus Platform.

...

Boom! A thousand-mile-long fiery cloud, two massive figures collided, creating endless ripples.

Upon closer inspection, both figures had identical appearances, even their colors were exactly the same.

They were both crimson Great Pengs!

"Its spiritual awareness is indeed remarkable, and it can already borrow the clouds to transform and withstand my attacks."

Luo Chen, who had transformed into his Heaven-Burning Great Peng form, was neither surprised nor delighted.

This Spirit-Linked Burn Cloud had already become spirit-linked, and its strength was no less than that of the Nine Yang Golden Eagle. Moreover, with the advantage of its home terrain, it was even more formidable.

However, unfortunately for it, this was also Luo Chen's home terrain!

Within the thousand-mile-long fiery cloud, Luo Chen's Hell of Samsara power reached its maximum, no longer limited to a hundred zhang radius. It could spread to a thousand zhang or even five thousand zhang.

No matter where the Burn Cloud Spirit fled, Luo Chen could follow it like a shadow, never losing sight of it.

Speed was the absolute difference between the two!

Eventually, the Burn Cloud Spirit realized it couldn't escape and began to confront Luo Chen head-on.

However, Luo Chen directly activated his second form, and with the Prosper-Doom True Flame attached to his body, he was unafraid of the burning.

After several hundred rounds, the opponent's decline became evident.

"Trying to run again?"

As the Burn Cloud Spirit transformed into a form similar to Luo Chen's Heaven-Burning Great Peng, spreading its wings to leave the thousand-mile-long fiery cloud, Luo Chen couldn't help but smile.

"Too bad, it's too late!"

The Hell of Samsara intensified, covering a radius of several thousand zhang.

Not only that, but...

In the void, a series of clanking sounds echoed.

Chains emerged from Luo Chen's body, swiftly binding the Heaven-Defying Fire Spirit.

The fire spirit's body trembled as the chains constricted its form.

Its shape began to change continuously.

From a fire phoenix, it transformed into a horse, then a human figure, and finally into a dragon serpent. It truly embodied the ever-changing nature of clouds.

Unfortunately, under the spirit-binding power of the Primordial Cauldron, no matter how it altered its true body, it couldn't escape.

The Hell of Samsara gradually tightened its grip, and the nine massive chains became increasingly taut.

Finally, the Heaven-Defying Fire Spirit revealed its true form!

A flame resembling a red cloud burned and struggled in its captivity.

Luo Chen observed this scene with satisfaction, and the power of the Primordial Cauldron seemed even more formidable than before.

Especially for these incorporeal spiritual entities, the targeted effect was stronger. Even without taking out the Primordial Cauldron itself, it easily suppressed the spirit.

And then...

Luo Chen opened his mouth and spat out.

A wisp of blue flame flew out, transforming into a one-zhang-tall tree silhouette in the void.

The tree stood in mid-air, its roots directly penetrating the red cloud of fire.

"A Sourceless Fire of the Fourth Tier, if I want to refine it, it will probably take quite some time."

Luo Chen murmured, calmly sitting cross-legged in the void, and began to cultivate his Lifebound Cultivation Technique.

As he once again started to stimulate the Primordial True Flame to devour the Sourceless Fire, he suddenly discovered that the refinement speed seemed much faster than before.

"Eh?"

"How can it be so easy? It seems even easier than refining the Third Tier Sourceless Fire."

Luo Chen was astonished.

While refining the Sourceless Fire, he searched for the reason behind this change.

"Is it because my Blazing-Doom Flame's rank is getting higher?"

"Or is it because I'm becoming more familiar with this process... Or perhaps, it's because of the assistance of my Lifebound Treasure, the Primordial Cauldron?"

Perhaps, all these factors played a role.

However, Luo Chen found the main reason for the increased speed of devouring.

On the system panel, a term was flashing with brilliant light.

【Heaven Phoenix Nirvana Scripture: Mastery 501/1000】

Unbeknownst to him, the proficiency of his Lifebound Cultivation Technique had quietly advanced to the Mastery level!

Upon realizing this change, Luo Chen was thrilled, almost interrupting the process of devouring the Fourth Tier Heaven-Defying Fire.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and suppressed his excitement.

Even so, Luo Chen was delighted.

The Heaven Phoenix Nirvana Scripture was the most profound divine cultivation technique he had ever learned.

He had been practicing it for over forty years!

If it were any other cultivation technique or art he had learned in the past, he would have already achieved Great Perfection long ago.

However, the progress in the Heaven Phoenix Nirvana Scripture was so slow that it was almost frustrating.

Even with his tireless cultivation day and night, as his cultivation advanced to the Golden Core Sixth Layer, and with just half a progress bar left to reach the Golden Core Seventh Layer, the proficiency of his Lifebound Cultivation Technique remained stuck at the Perfect level.

It seemed like only a few dozen proficiency points were needed to reach the Mastery level, but it was still as slow as a snail's pace.

One could imagine how much more difficult it would become in the future, and how many more years it would take to achieve Great Perfection.

But unexpectedly, after entering the Blazing Hell and repeatedly stimulating his Lifebound Cultivation Technique, devouring the Sourceless Fire with his Primordial True Flame, his proficiency began to soar.

In just a few months, he surpassed the Perfect level and reached the Mastery level.

And upon reaching this level, the efficiency of devouring the Sourceless Fire increased by more than tenfold.

"Indeed, the function of devouring the Sourceless Fire originates from this cultivation technique!"

"One could even say that this wondrous ability should only manifest when one cultivates to a profound level, that is, the Mastery level."

The Mastery level on the system panel could rival the Great Accomplishment level as described by ordinary people.

And Luo Chen had discovered this marvelous use earlier and put it into practice, thereby leading to the rapid increase in proficiency in a short time.

"This is indeed a double joy!"

Luo Chen smiled, his spiritual power intensified, and the devouring process accelerated by another threefold.

Days later, Luo Chen emerged from the Thousand Mile Red Burn Cloud.

His aura became increasingly domineering and fiery.

As he flew through the void, he felt as if he had found his home in this Blazing Hell.

When Luo Chen once again paused at a low hill, his eyes shining with delight, a low voice reached his ears.

"Luo Chen, stop!"

Luo Chen's face turned displeased, "What's wrong?"

"You can't continue like this." Han Zhan's voice echoed.

Luo Chen scoffed, "Why not? I can feel that if I continue like this, my Primordial True Flame will undergo a qualitative change. Perhaps I can even surpass the Fourth Tier and reach the Fifth Tier!"

As he spoke, a small tree enveloped in green flames swayed its branches within his Qi Sea, as if responding to him.

Han Zhan fell silent.

Seeing Luo Chen take another step towards the low hill that might contain the Sourceless Fire, Han Zhan finally spoke again.

"By then, should I call you Luo Chen or the Blazing-Doom Fire Spirit?"

Boom! A blue flame engulfed Luo Chen's body, burning the void.

Luo Chen's footsteps froze in mid-air, as if struck by lightning, and his face turned extremely unsightly.
