This man, who looked exactly like Qi Hong, had black flames swirling in his eyes, radiating murderous intent.
He stood amidst endless flames, like a god of flames, controlling the fire of myriad paths.
"Eighth Brother, what's wrong?"
At that moment, a voice called out, and another man appeared; the two looked exactly alike.
However, this person's aura was even more terrifying—a being at the level of a Divine Venerable, his energy could swallow the heavens.
"Third Brother, Ninth Brother was killed. You came out late. If only you had come a little earlier... Ninth Brother won't die. The
man called Eighth Brother was none other than Yan Hong's eighth brother, Yan Feng, Yan Xu's eighth son. He said angrily.
Yan Feng's cultivation had just advanced to Realm King, and this third-ranked powerhouse was named Yan Shang, a terrifying existence.
When he heard that Yan Hong had been killed, he fell silent for a moment. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Give me a scene." Yan
Feng shared the scene of his fight with Long Chen with Yan Shang. When he saw the golden lotus seed inside Long Chen's divine ring, Yan Shang's pupils instantly contracted to the size of a needle.
"Third Brother, what should we do? Should we cross the sky and take down Long Chen, see if we can reclaim Ninth Brother's origin and place him in the chaotic sea of fire? Maybe he still has a chance at rebirth."
Besides, how could he bear the Ghost Emperor mark? That's someone from the same era as Father. Should we wake him up? Yan Feng said.
Yan Shang shook his head and said, "Father, you must not disturb me." "
Third Brother, why don't you take action yourself? Everyone else is in seclusion, and if I cross the heavens, I'll be too exhausted and my cultivation might drop."
If you go, even if you consume some primordial power, it will be enough to sweep away the human divine lords. Yan Feng said.
"It's useless. That one named Long Chen, that golden lotus seed has a terrifying origin. The golden flames it releases are specifically designed to counter our Yanxu clan. This is no simple matter." Yan Shang shook her head, her expression grave.
"How is that possible? Aren't our Yanxu clan the strongest flames in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths? And fire counters us? Yan Feng said in disbelief.
"You're still too young. Your flame power isn't weakened because of the Heavenly Wall, but because it was suppressed by that golden lotus seed. So, you have no choice but to stop.
This golden lotus seed is a powerful existence; the stronger its power, the greater its suppression. With Long Chen holding the golden lotus seed, our Yanxu lineage cannot harm him for now. Yan Shang said gravely.
"No way. If he could really counter my Yanxu lineage, wouldn't Long Chen and my Ninth Brother be locked in a desperate fight?" Yan Feng still couldn't believe it.
"That's because Long Chen doesn't know how to activate the Golden Lotus Seed. If he did, even ten Yan Hong would die at Long Chen's hands."
Now that the Golden Lotus Seed had been activated, although Long Chen still didn't know how to use it, once it encountered the Flame of Flame of Flame, it would automatically strike.
Therefore, our Yanxu lineage cannot confront him directly. Otherwise, if we activate the Golden Lotus Seed again, Long Chen might very well comprehend its control method, which would cause trouble. Yan Shang said.
"So what should we do? Are we just going to let him roam freely like this? Yan Feng said unwillingly. Long Chen was just a lowly disciple at the Divine Lord Realm. If he were standing before him, he could easily slap him to death.
However, he and Long Chen were not on the same day. The reason he could cross the heavens to attack was because when Yan Hong died, a special soul imprint erupted, allowing him to channel part of his power along with space to cast spells.
But the power of this spell was less than a tenth of his own strength. Not only did he fail to injure Long Chen, he was even devoured by him, leaving him so angry he felt like his lungs would explode.
"Before my father went into seclusion, he once told me that Ninth Brother was destined for a great calamity. I never expected it to come true." Yan Shang sighed.
"This ..." Yan Feng was startled.
Yan Shang continued, "But in times of crisis, we seize the opportunity. The appearance of the golden lotus seed is also a tremendous opportunity for our Yanxu clan."
We need to find a way to seize that golden lotus seed, but Long Chen actually has the Ghost Emperor's mark. I wonder if the Ghost Emperor has his eye on his seed too. We can't force this matter; we can only plan carefully.
Don't worry about this anymore. Just focus on your cultivation. You just devoured Fairy Tianhong's remnant soul, your realm isn't fully consolidated, and now you've lost so much of your primordial power. Be careful not to fall." "
Yes, Third Brother!" Yan Feng hurriedly said.
After Yan Shang finished speaking, her body instantly faded, merging into the world and disappearing without a trace.
Yan Shang vanished, and Yan Feng slammed his fist hard into the void, stirring up ripples for miles. In the end, he could only sigh and, like Yan Shang, merged into heaven and earth.
Looking into the distance, he saw nine massive spheres of light in this endless world of flames, each spanning millions of li. Within each orb was a phantom, radiating waves of divine might that inspired awe.
But among the nine orbs, one of the phantoms in one orb went out. That orb belonged to one person, but sadly, that person would never return.
Looking up, he saw an even larger cluster of light. Compared to it, those nine clusters seemed so tiny.
The orb of light was enormous, as if it were a world of its own. Within the orb, endless black mist swirled, waves of evil energy overflowed, as if sealing a peerless demon god inside. Once released, it would destroy the heavens and earths.
...
"Long Chen, you useless fool, you're nothing."
"All you do is brag, what else can you possibly do?"
"You have all the skills, but you don't dare to indulge in vengeance. What's the point of your cultivation?"
"Open your eyes and look at yourself—do you still look like a human being? You useless coward, give me back your body quickly.
I will slaughter the world, kill all who have wronged me, stain the sky red with blood, and cover the earth with white bones... In
the endless darkness, a voice roars, roaring, filled with the flavor of despair and despair.
It was Long Chen's inner demon roaring. Previously, it had taken control of Long Chen's body, and in its wild joy, fought against the flame wind, unleashing a great deal of dark power. Unexpectedly, Long Chen took advantage of it and reclaimed its body, leaving it full of unwillingness.
But with Long Chen calm, his will was unbreakable. It had no choice but to curse Long Chen while he was unconscious.
While the roar of his inner demon echoed in his mind, Long Chen remained utterly calm. He was immersed in darkness, yet he could see a star within the darkness.
It was a golden birth star. Though small and faint, it was steady, unaffected by darkness, like a guiding light marking Long Chen in the right direction.
Long Chen smiled, recalling what Aunt Gong had once told him. At the time, he couldn't understand it, but now he understood.
"You're awake?" Get up for a drink and take a break. Long
Chen slowly opened his eyes and saw Xia Guhong's tall figureShadow.
