The Heavenly Fire World opened, and countless powerful beings rushed toward the spatial gate like a torrent.
The guardians of the major factions also rushed in. Anyone in the Heavenly Fire World could enter, provided they could endure the scorching heat of the heavenly fire.
Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan exchanged a glance. Yu Qingxuan said, "Let's go too." Long
Chen nodded and, together with Yu Qingxuan and the two elder guards, charged toward the Gate of Heavenly Fire.
Clearly, Yu Qingxuan meant well. She feared that other clans' Realm King experts might suddenly attack Long Chen. With the two together, others would be mindful of her status and at least wouldn't act here.
What worried Yu Qingxuan most was also this, because too many terrifying existences were hidden here. Who knew if Longteng Trading Company had sent a terrifying Realm King to infiltrate the area.
Faced with Yu Qingxuan's invitation, Long Chen was filled with gratitude and carefully took care of her dignity.
The four of them sped forward, and just as they neared the core of the Gate of Heavenly Fire, a massive vortex appeared in the void.
Once inside this vortex, one truly enters the Heavenly Fire World, but once inside, the space becomes chaotic and people are transported to different locations.
If they want to be together, they must come together now to form a strong stance, ensuring the four of them appear in the same place.
The two Fourth Heaven Realm King experts had already begun forming hand seals, divine radiance enveloping the four. However, Long Chen stepped forward and appeared outside the divine radiance.
"Long Chen, ...?" Yu Qingxuan was startled.
"Qingxuan, thank you for your kindness, but it's better for us to part ways. There are too many ugly things in this world, and I don't want you to see them." Long Chen looked at Yu Qingxuan and smiled slightly. He waved his hand, his figure flickered, and disappeared into the vortex.
Yu Qingxuan stared blankly at the spot where Long Chen had disappeared, somewhat confused by his words.
"He doesn't want you to witness such a bloody scene. This person is a true powerhouse, a warrior who has crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
What he experienced is beyond your imagination. Child, not everyone in this world is as lucky as you are. The cruelty of this world is beyond your imagination. An elderly man behind her spoke up.
These two elders had watched Yu Qingxuan grow up. They knew her personality better than anyone. Seeing that she couldn't understand Long Chen's meaning, they helped explain it to her.
At first, they were also full of caution toward Long Chen. This young man was too dangerous, especially when provoked by Zhao Mingxuan at Zhe Immortal Tower. The shocking killing intent he unleashed made their hearts race. Only then did they realize they had misjudged him—he was an extremely terrifying man.
Just now, when they saw Long Chen appear, countless foreign powerhouses instantly surged with murderous intent.
From their insight, from the soul fluctuations, they could tell these beings came from different worlds. Each harbored murderous intent toward Long Chen, which meant he had killed too many of their clansmen, and the hatred was etched deep into their souls.
At first, they couldn't understand why Lingxiao Academy, such an ancient institution, would appoint a young man as its dean. Even if it was a branch dean, it would be a bit too childish. But now they realized that this young man named Long Chen was quite extraordinary.
"Whoosh."
The two elders also entered the spatial vortex with Yu Qingxuan. As soon as they emerged, they saw a heavenly blade shattering the void, piercing through eternity, and endless blood rain rained down in the void.
"It's Long Chen!"
Yu Qingxuan exclaimed in surprise. After the blade flashed, Long Chen had already turned into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from sight.
Above the void, dozens of Realm King experts were covered in blood, their eyes filled with terror.
"People from Longteng Trading Company." An elderly man behind Yu Qingxuan frowned, clearly recognizing their identities.
"Interesting. Longteng Trading Company is really stingy. Even though they issued a bounty, they still wanted to save some money and keep it all for themselves. Unfortunately, they didn't get any meat and ended up breaking their teeth." Another elder shook his head and said.
Obviously, Qiao Zhuang had disguised themselves and entered the Heavenly Fire World first, preparing to catch Long Chen off guard. That way, the one billion Immortal King Crystals could be divided among them.
Unfortunately, their plan was wrong. Even with a trap, they couldn't stop Long Chen. Looking at the many charred corpses on the ground, not only were they not captured, but more than a dozen lives were lost.
Many powerful figures rushed in and saw what had just happened, and were all shocked—Long Chen was terrifying.
However, after Long Chen broke through the blockade, he immediately fled. Many powerful Realm Kings with strong auras wanted to strike but failed to seize the opportunity.
"Ignore them, let's go."
The two elders glanced briefly before leading Yu Qingxuan and speeding ahead.
Entering the Gate of Space, this is a passage. Only by passing through the passage can one enter the Heavenly Fire World.
As you pass through the passage, your view ahead suddenly opens up, revealing a fiery red world before your eyes.
Here, the land was scorched for thousands of miles, massive boulders were jagged, and raging flames roared through the world like a torrent. From time to time, meteors carrying fire fell and crashed to the ground with explosive explosions.
The earth here was made entirely of solid rock, and the air was thick with the scent of flames. If it weren't for the Fire cultivators coming here, they probably wouldn't have survived even a few breaths.
After entering the Heavenly Fire World and traveling for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, all the Realm King-level experts stopped in their tracks, because beyond that, there was a barrier that they couldn't get through.
If they forced their way in, the power of flames would stack. Even Realm Kings couldn't withstand it, so they could only send their disciples here.
"Be careful along the way. Trust no one but yourself." An elderly man behind Yu Qingxuan reminded him.
"That Long Chen is actually pretty good." Another elder added, only to be glared at by that old man.
Yu Qingxuan's pretty face flushed slightly. Clearly, the two had seen through Long Chen's feelings for her, quickly agreed, spread their forms, and charged toward the Heavenly Fire World.
Watching Yu Qingxuan enter the depths of the Heavenly Fire World, the two found a nearby spot, sat cross-legged, and waited quietly.
Not only them, but all the other Realm King experts also found a nearby spot to sit quietly and wait.
However, to their surprise, the powerful figures from Longteng Trading Company also arrived. Their souls fluctuated frequently, as if discussing something.
"Looks like they're still worried Long Chen might survive, and are planning to trap them in a jar here." An elder said.
"I feel like things are a bit complicated, huh!"
Suddenly, another elder looked into the distance in shock and saw a living being who had just entered the spatial barrier and then merged into the world and vanished without a trace.
At that moment, the two of them's expressions suddenly grew serious, their eyes filled with
shock and doubt.
"This time, something extraordinary has appeared in the Heavenly Fire World. Qingxuan is in danger and needs to be warned to be cautious. No, we need to report this matter to the Sect Master."
