Long Chen finally saw a volcano ahead, and on top of it, hundreds of Heavenly Fire Spirits lay densely packed.
These Spirits of Heavenly Fire were now obediently lying at the mountain pass. At the mouth of the volcano, fiery lava was slowly flowing out, absorbing the lava.
Within the melt, countless runes surged, and the power of flames was pure and refined. For the spirit of heavenly fire, it was a great tonic.
Huo Ling'er's eyes lit up when she saw the lava of flames. She told Long Chen that the runes within the lava were extremely pure and could ignore cultivation level, allowing her to absorb them freely.
Within the flames, lava gushed out, continuously flowing outward. Near the volcanic crater were dozens of Heavenly Fire Spirits bearing five types of runes on their bodies.
Behind them was a large group of Heavenly Fire Spirits with four runes. Clearly, powerful Heavenly Fire Spirits occupied good positions, while those weaker could only eat what others had leftovers.
Although there were many Spirits of Heavenly Fire, they still couldn't finish them all. The lava flowed down the mountain, and then Long Chen saw a large group of people setting up formations, collecting the flowing lava and extracting the runes within.
Among the group, Long Chen immediately spotted Zhao Mingxuan, Wu Yang, and hundreds of other powerful figures, gathered together, setting up a grand formation covering tens of thousands of miles. Everyone sat within the formation, quietly absorbing the fiery runes flowing from the lava flowing around them.
Besides them, many other beings quietly absorbed the fire runes erupting around the volcano.
Like those Heavenly Fire Spirits, everyone shared a tacit understanding: neither attacked the other, each fearing a careless disruption of this balance.
If these spirits of the heavenly fire became enraged, their only option was to flee. Right now, it was like snatching food from the jaws of a tiger, constantly monitoring the movements of the heavenly fires and predicting the rhythm of the volcanic eruption. Once the volcanic eruption began to weaken, they would have to run at once. If they ran too late, they would be devoured by the spirits of the heavenly fire.
It can be said that nowadays, everyone feels as if standing on an abyss, walking on thin ice, eating this piece of meat with fear and fear.
By the time Long Chen arrived, the volcano spanning millions of miles was already surrounded by tens of thousands of powerful cultivators. There was hardly any good place left. Beings from all races were band together to occupy advantageous terrain, leaving only minor and intangible traces. The flame runes were almost gone.
"Hahaha, a bunch of shameless fools, actually picking up the leftover scraps from the Spirit of Heavenly Fire. Isn't that embarrassing?" As soon as Long Chen arrived, he stood high in the sky and laughed heartily, looking at everyone with a mocking expression.
Originally, it was quiet here, with only lava flowing quietly. Long Chen's shout startled everyone, and some of them felt their scalps tingle, almost running away.
When they saw that the spirits of the Heavenly Fire ignored Long Chen and continued to consume the flame runes, they finally relaxed. However, cold sweat had already broken out on their foreheads, clearly terrified, and they all glared angrily at Long Chen.
Zhao Mingxuan and the others, upon seeing Long Chen, were instantly filled with murderous intent. However, they knew now was not the time to kill Long Chen, so they could only endure.
"Why are you looking at me?" If you can't eat meat yourself, you can eat while lying on someone else's backside, and you won't let anyone complain? Long Chen said disdainfully.
After saying that, he swaggered straight from the sky toward the volcano crater. When they saw Long Chen like this, everyone's expressions changed.
"Stop right there! You idiot, if you keep doing this, you'll alert them, and no one will benefit from it." Some beings growled at Long Chen, looking as if they wanted to bite him to death.
"You're the fool! Your whole family are idiots. Who am I? I'm Long Sanye.
When the Third Master arrived, the earth roared and the sky roared; when he appeared, ghosts and gods wailed. Who in the world could stop Third Master's steps?
A group of tiny Heavenly Fire Spirits is nothing. Not to mention the Heavenly Fire Spirit of the Fifth Heaven Realm King, even a Divine Venerable Realm Heavenly Fire Spirit—I can take it down too. Shut up, all of you—how dare a summer insect speak of ice? Long Chen sneered, and as he spoke, he had already reached the area of the Spirit of Heavenly Fire halfway up the mountain.
By the time he reached that point, the laws of the Heavenly Dao had already begun to change. Long Chen could no longer float in the air, but instead continued forward, stepping on the body of a Flame Giant Lizard.
Long Chen's action made many people's faces turn green with fright. Some cautious people even began to slowly withdraw, gradually moving away from the area, fearing that Long Chen would anger the Spirits of Heavenly Fire and drag them down as well.
"Stop right there." Someone roared in anger.
At this moment, Long Chen had already reached the Spirit of Heavenly Fire Zone, already upstream of everyone. Absorbing it there was already stronger than most, but he was still not satisfied and kept moving forward.
Seeing that he was threatened, Long Chen even arrogantly jumped hard twice on the back of the Heavenly Fire Giant Lizard, scaring countless people into their eyes nearly popping out.
Fortunately, the Heavenly Fire Giant Lizard continued to absorb the flame runes and completely ignored Long Chen. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. However, the way they looked at Long Chen was like a sharp sword. If a look could kill, Long Chen would have died countless times already.
"A bunch of cowards."
Long Chen saw countless people turn pale with fear, showing them a disdainful look, then jumped forward onto another Heavenly Fire Behemoth and continued toward the volcano's crater.
"What exactly does this bastard want?"
People were furious. Long Chen had already reached the edge of the largest torrent, which was upstream of the area occupied by Zhao Mingxuan and the others. That area should have been the best place, yet he still wanted to move forward.
Suddenly, Long Chen stopped, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, Zhao Mingxuan and the others' expressions changed—Long Chen was planning to cut costs.
But what angered them even more was that Long Chen didn't absorb the flame rune. Instead, he pulled up his pants and started peeing directly, making Zhao Mingxuan, Wu Yang, and the others so angry that veins bulged on their foreheads.
"That damn man, I'm going to kill him..." Wu Yang was so angry that flames rose in his eyes. Long Chen was deliberately humiliating them.
But Long Chen had already reached the volcano's crater, where fifth heavenly king-level Heavenly Fire Spirits were everywhere. Fighting over there would be no different from throwing himself to his death—unless he wanted to perish together with Long Chen.
Clearly, he didn't want to do it and could only endure it. But he couldn't help it. Although after Long Chen urinated, a large cloud of steam rose from the lava and didn't truly contaminate their source of flames, it was still disgusting. If he absorbed more, it would be like drinking Long Chen's urine—no different from drinking it. If word got out, wouldn't people laugh at him?
"Let's go to another place and take a look too."
Seeing that Long Chen had been safe all along, Zhao Mingxuan gritted his teeth and abandoned the previously advantageous terrain with the others, heading upward as well.
They gave up their spots, and immediately countless beings took over the spots they had given up. However, some beings pondered for a moment, then mustered their courage and quietly climbed upward.
"Hey, what do you want to do?"
Suddenly, Long Chen let out a loud shout, his deafening voice shaking the sky and making the void roar. Countless powerful warriors felt their hearts leap out of their hearts, and without a second thought, they fled.
