The runes on Yan Hong's brow were pierced by the power of the Ice Soul, instantly turning into a cloud of dust.
For this strike, Long Chen had prepared for a long time. He had tried countless times. Although his purple energy could harm Yan Hong, it could not destroy it.
Yan Hong possessed a body of flame; other powers could hardly inflict fatal harm on him, not even Long Chen's purple energy.
Flames can either be destroyed by the power of water or by fire. The only trump card Long Chen had that could kill Yan Hong was that trace of Ice Soul power.
However, this trace of Ice Soul power was not very strong; it was not a true Ice Soul Divine Flame. If used from the start, it might not have threatened Yan Hong.
But in the end, Yan Hong's source power was completely depleted, forcing him to use his life rune to resist. That's when Long Chen's chance came.
"Buzz"—
Yan Xu was killed in a single blow. A fire dragon appeared, swallowing all of Yan Xu's life runes in one gulp.
To kill Yan Xu, the food reserves for Huo Ling'er were all exhausted. Naturally, Huo Ling'er wouldn't let Yan Xu's flames go and devoured them, which was also a form of compensation for herself.
Yan Hong was killed, leaving countless powerful warriors stunned. Although the battle had ended, the endless flames between heaven and earth still burned, lingering for a long time.
"The Son of Yanxu was actually killed."
The powerful beings who had entered the Heavenly Fire World wore expressions of disbelief.
"He... He is Yan Xu's son? "
Long Chen actually killed Yan Xu's son?"
For a moment, the scene erupted in uproar. The Flame of Flame of Burning Void proclaimed itself the Flame Emperor, known as the strongest flame in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, and also the most evil flame. Everyone among the older generation of experts knew it.
However, the Flame of Flame of Burning Void is a family, with many branches beneath it. No one expected that the person Long Chen had slain was actually the son of the Flame Emperor. For a moment, people looked at Long Chen with eyes filled with terror.
Long Chen killed the son of the Flame Emperor—this disaster must be a huge disaster. Who could resist the Flame Emperor's wrath? Is there still a place for Long Chen to belong?
Many people, trembling with fear, wanted to leave as soon as possible, lest the Flame Emperor descend and be implicated by Long Chen, the entire Chaotic Star Sea could be wiped out.
"Pfft!"
Long Chen suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. After continuous battles, Long Chen's consumption was terrifying.
Especially when summoning the Star Sea Phenomenon, although his combat power skyrocketed, it put too much strain on his body. Now, even piloting the Star Sea Phenomenon was still a bit of a struggle.
Moreover, Long Chen had summoned the power of the stars, an external force that originally did not belong to him. Forcing it would already injure his body, and even the life force of the chaotic space could not immediately heal such injuries.
He had previously forced himself to suppress his injuries, but now, after killing Yan Hong, he could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Buzz!"
Thunder wings appeared behind Long Chen. If he didn't leave now, it would be too late. Those late-stage Realm King experts were eyeing him hungrily. While they hadn't yet recovered, now was the best chance to escape.
Fortunately, Long Chen and Huo Ling'er's strength was completely depleted, but Lei Ling'er was strong enough to escape with all her might. Even late-stage Realm King experts couldn't catch up to him.
Suddenly, a startled cry came from afar. Long Chen looked in that direction, and his figure froze in midair.
"You're asking for death..."
At that moment, a furious roar rang out. People turned toward the sound, witnessing an unbelievable scene.
The Palace Master of the Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace, at some point, appeared behind Yu Qingxuan, and the two elder guards beside her had already been blasted away.
The Palace Master of the Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace pointed his longsword at Yu Qingxuan's back. Yu Qingxuan's life was decided in a single thought. At that moment, everyone was stunned.
"Is he crazy? Did he not know that Yu Qingxuan's master was Dongfang Zichu? That's a Divine Venerable expert! People stared in disbelief at the Palace Master of the Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace.
Yu Qingxuan's status was extremely noble, yet he dared to hold her hostage. Wasn't he afraid that Dongfang Zichu, in a fit of rage, would destroy his entire Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace?
"Long Chen, if you dare leave, I'll kill her!" The Palace Master of the Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace looked at Long Chen, a sinister smile appearing on his face.
"Despicable"
and "Shameless"
Seeing the Flame Heavenly Palace Master actually use Yu Qingxuan to threaten Long Chen, countless people were furious.
"Zhu Yifeng, are you crazy?" If you dare lay a finger on Qingxuan, I guarantee your Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace will be wiped out completely. The two elder guards of Yu Qingxuan were furious.
They never dreamed that the Palace Master of the Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace would be so bold as to dare to attack Yu Qingxuan. By the time they realized what was happening, Yu Qingxuan had already fallen into his hands.
Yu Qingxuan's face was also gloomy. In her eyes, seven-colored flames swirled as she quietly gathered strength. Her anger surged, and she wished she could kill the Palace Master of the Blazing Heavenly Palace immediately.
"Why..."
Long Chen spoke. To everyone's surprise, Yu Qingxuan fell into the hands of the Palace Master of the Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace, yet his voice was unusually calm.
And the calm voice seemed to come from the dark hell, like the whispers of gods and demons, or like the interrogation of Yama, reaching straight to the human soul.
"Enough talk, hand over your life-bound fire, or else... I killed her. "The Palace Master of the Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace said coldly.
Everyone immediately understood—he had his eye on Long Chen's life-bound fire. Everyone had seen Long Chen's flame power.
When Yan Hong was killed, he called out the name of the Ice Soul, and the cold that filled the air at the time of his death instantly reminded people of the Ice Soul Divine Flame, ranked eighth on the Heavenly Fire List.
To destroy the Flame of Flame of Darkness and slay Yan Hong, it must be an extremely terrifying flame. In other words, Long Chen has mastered the Ice Soul Flame.
Moreover, after Yan Xu was slain, the Fire Dragon devoured Yan Hong's primordial flame. The Palace Master of the Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace immediately became greedy, disregarding the Flame Heavenly Palace to obtain Long Chen's life-bound flame.
Thinking of this, countless people's hearts skipped a beat. Long Chen's life-bound flame possessed the power of the Ice Soul and could devour the flame of Flame Void. If anyone obtained such flames and survived, wouldn't they become invincible?
No wonder the Palace Master of the Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace took such a risk. With these connections, countless people looked at Long Chen, their gazes burning with intensity, and surrounded him from all directions. Dozens of late-stage Realm King experts surrounded Long Chen.
They were also tempted like the Palace Master of the Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace. If they obtained Long Chen's life-bound flame and could hide it, who in the world would dare trouble them tens of thousands of years later?
So what if the sect disappeared? They could just create one again. They even felt a bit regretful, thinking they should have acted on Yu Qingxuan sooner. But it wasn't too late now—once Long Chen handed over his life-bound fire, they would immediately fight for it, and would never just stand by and watch the Palace Master of the Blazing Flame Heavenly Palace reap the benefits.
"Isn't it better to just live well?" Why are you forcing me? Long
Chen had been lowering his head, but now he slowly raised it. The moment he did, his entire aura changed, the darkness he had struggled to suppressThe power could no longer be controlled, erupting like a volcano.
