Even Long Chen himself was frozen into ice sculptures, and on the ice surface, a transparent aura flowed—a scorching flame.
Flames burned the sky, while mountains stretching for thousands of miles were covered in ice. The ice burned like charcoal, ice and fire intertwined, the earth crumbled, and the void twisted.
In the blink of an eye, the mountain where Long Chen stood was burned to nothingness—the mountains vanished, the ice vanished, and the flames vanished.
All of this felt like an illusion. Long Chen couldn't help but gasp. He had simply followed the method Bai Fang had taught him to draw out a trace of Ice Soul power—less than one ten-thousandth of it, yet possessing such terrifying energy.
If Long Chen hadn't already asked Huo Ling'er to protect him earlier, even the slightest bit of force could have seriously injured him.
Even so, Long Chen still felt uncomfortable all over, alternating between hot and cold, as if his body was about to explode.
Within the Ice Soul Divine Flame, there are two completely opposite energies: extreme cold and extreme heat. The outer flame is high temperature, while the core is severe cold—a kind of flame that defies all logic.
The Ice Soul Divine Flame was colorless and transparent, but its power was terrifying, far beyond Long Chen's imagination.
"The Ice Soul Divine Flame ranks above the Rainbow Flame. It truly lives up to its reputation. It's just a rune, yet it has the power to destroy heaven and earth." According to Long Chen's estimation, this was not the true Ice Soul Divine Flame, but rather a rune sealing a Frost Soul Divine Flame.
Long Chen had met Fairy Tianhong before, and from her memories, he had seen just how terrifying the Rainbow Flame was. The Ice Soul Divine Flame ranked above Rainbow Flame, so it was bound to be even stronger.
However, Bai Fang didn't know the origin of this rune either. He only knew how to open it. Without it, if he violently opened it, the rune would instantly self-destruct and no one could obtain it.
"Brother Long Chen, give it to me. From the test just now, it doesn't reject me. Let me communicate with it slowly and see if we can merge." Huo Ling'er said to Long Chen.
Previously, when Long Chen activated the divine jade, he had Huo Ling'er prepare. Huo Ling'er said that the Ice Soul did not reject her, which immediately made Long Chen somewhat excited.
If Huo Ling'er could control this rune and condense the power of the Ice Soul, would he still have to fear a Realm King of the Third Heaven?
"Huo Ling'er, take your time communicating with it first. Don't rush to fuse it, because I really need you right now." Long Chen said to Huo Ling'er.
Huo Ling'er not only helps him in battle, but alchemy also depends on her. If Huo Ling'er falls into a deep sleep after absorbing the Ice Soul Divine Flame, Long Chen will face considerable obstacles in both combat and cultivation.
Long Chen was in a very unfavorable situation and had to act cautiously. One wrong move could cost him his life, and Long Chen dared not be careless at all.
Huo Ling'er obediently nodded, took the Ice Soul Divine Jade, and returned to the chaotic space.
The Ice Soul Divine Jade had already been activated, and Huo Ling'er could slowly absorb it. Although it was just a rune of the Ice Soul Divine Flame, it was enough to transform Huo Ling'er. As long as she knew how to use this rune, even Long Chen himself didn't know how powerful her combat power would soar.
Previously, when Long Chen was researching Thunderfire Swallowing the Heavens, he encountered a problem: Huo Ling'er's strength was clearly weaker than Lei Ling'er's.
However, Lei Ling'er lacked proper control over her own strength, which led to the Thunderfire Devouring the Sky and making no progress at all.
If Huo Ling'er fuses this rune, Long Chen believes that with her powerful control, she should be able to reach a balance, and perhaps even unleash the full form of Thunderfire Swallowing Heaven.
This rune of the Ice Soul Divine Flame always felt something unusual about its origin. Unfortunately, the Baifang family had already declined, and apart from the method of opening it, nothing related to it remained.
But at least they managed to recover the Ice Soul Divine Jade, which could temporarily comfort the spirits of the siblings in heaven.
As for Longteng Trading Company, which killed them, Long Chen didn't need to rush to deal with them. He knew the company must be searching for him all over the world.
"Haha, I've struck it rich."
Only then did Long Chen open the treasury of Longteng Trading Company, carefully examining its contents and shouting excitedly.
"No wonder they say a person can't get rich without windfalls, and a horse can't grow fat without night grass. Indeed, robbery is the best way to get rich."
Long Chen looked at the endless treasures in the treasury and couldn't help but feel ecstatic—rare medicines, pills, ancient books, divine weapons—all kinds of treasures, everything imaginable.
This tin warehouse came with its own space, covering thousands of miles, shelves piled high with treasures, clearly categorized and neatly arranged.
"Wow, it's really complete! Every single rare herb in the Purple Que Pill is available."
Long Chen immediately checked the rare herbs and found that the collection was extremely complete. There were also quite a few rare rare herbs needed for the Purple Que Pill. No wonder Longteng Trading Company was said to be a rival to Huayun Trading Company. Only after seeing their treasury could one understand how terrifying their wealth was.
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to bother with various cultivation manuals and manuals. Biting off more than he could chew off was key; he just needed to focus on studying the Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique.
"This weapon."
Long Chen took out a halberd and couldn't help but gasp. On this weapon, ancient runes were inscribed, and those runes put immense pressure on him.
It was as if an ancient beast was sealed within the weapon; once the runes were activated, it would release a terrifying power.
"This is probably the Realm King's exclusive divine weapon, a domain artifact. Rumor has it that when such a divine weapon unleashes its full power, it can cripple an entire domain in an instant. No one knows if that's true."
Long Chen looked at the halberd, his heart pounding wildly. If that black-faced Realm King named Yushu wielded this terrifying halberd, would he still be his match?
Long Chen carefully examined the shelves of the divine weapons. There were over ten thousand divine weapons in total, most of which were royal artifacts, and among them, they were fine. There were also some weapons with rusty marks, their souls dead, but many runes were engraved on them and were fairly clear. According to Long Chen's estimation, these runes had some research value, so they were preserved.
There were only three domain artifacts: Long Chen's halberd, a war hammer, and a shield.
Unfortunately, only Realm Kings can unleash their power. Rumor has it that only Realm Kings possess the power of the Realm, and only this power can activate the artifact.
The discovery of the domain artifact made Long Chen feel somewhat heavy-hearted. Upon arriving in Ziyan Heaven, he finally realized that the strong ones here were completely different from Ming Haotian's—their resources were far too formidable.
"Rumble rumble...
Suddenly, a thunderous explosion rang out behind Long Chen. Long Chen was stunned, seeing the Minghong Blade trembling, runes on the scabbard flickering and flickering, and his powerful aura fluctuated unpredictably.
"Could it be..."
A look of wild joy appeared on Long Chen's face.
