Long Chen turned into a bolt of lightning, breaking through the blockade of the Longteng Trading Company's experts. In fact, he had been on guard all along.
However, Long Chen was wary of Wu Yang, Zhao Mingxuan, and the others, but he never expected that the ones blocking his way would be the persistent ghosts of Longteng Trading Company.
At the same time, Long Chen understood that although Wu Yang and the others wanted to kill him, what they cared about was the Spirit of Heavenly Fire. With the opening of the Heavenly Fire World this time, too many people were watching, and they feared leaving empty-handed.
So after Long Chen broke through the group's blockade, he didn't hesitate and flew straight into the depths of the Heavenly Fire World.
The World of Heavenly Fire is a chaotic realm, without sun, moon, or stars, but two directions are very easy to discern.
One was the entrance and exit, where there was a huge vortex; the other was also a vortex, but the vortex Long Chen entered was thousands or hundreds larger.
That place lies deep within the Heavenly Fire World, and only within the depths does the Spirit of Heavenly Fire appear—that is everyone's target.
Long Chen unleashed the Thunder Falcon clan's movement technique, transforming into a bolt of lightning that darted through heaven and earth at incredible speed, quickly catching up to some of the powerful warriors who were running at full speed.
These experts were shocked. Some saw Long Chen charging at him and wanted to strike him, but Long Chen was too fast. Before their attacks could be unleashed, Long Chen had already vanished.
However, the Heavenly Fire World was too vast. Long Chen didn't see Wuyang, Zhao Mingxuan, and the others. He wondered if they were not on his side, or if they had their own flying boats and were even faster than him.
As Long Chen sped forward, he vaguely sensed a divine light passing by in the distance. That aura seemed to come from Yu Qingxuan's chariot, but the distance was too great and the sense was too vague.
Long Chen couldn't care about that. As he sped along, fewer and fewer people around him, and the vortex ahead grew closer and larger.
Long Chen had sped at full speed for three hours. Even though the vortex was right in front of him, it always seemed out of reach—the vortex was just too large.
Looking back at the incoming whirlpool, it was already about the size of a soybean—the gap between the two was just too great.
Moreover, as she approached the vortex, the flame power between heaven and earth grew even stronger. Huo Ling'er couldn't hold back any longer, transforming into runes that appeared on Long Chen, beginning to absorb the fire power here to strengthen herself.
Long Chen had been running wildly all day and finally felt a bit stuck. The air began to thicken, and even with the naked eye, he could see the flaming runes floating in the void.
Long Chen felt as if he were in a sea of flames, while Huo Ling'er was exceptionally excited, like a dragon returning to the sea, a tiger roaring through the forest, absorbing the power of this place to her heart's content.
Previously, she had consumed a great deal of stamina by rapidly fusing the Ice Soul Divine Flame. Although she had managed to control a trace of Ice Soul power, it was still a huge toll on herself.
Now, here, she could quickly replenish her energy. It felt as if this was her own world, where she felt free and at ease, following her desires.
Long Chen had been running wildly all day, resting briefly before continuing deeper into the area. Just as Long Chen had predicted,
This place was vast; tens of millions of fire path cultivators were almost invisible as they neared the core area.
Moreover, Yu Qingxuan had said that every time the Heavenly Fire World descended, the terrain was different, so there was no map here.
No one knew where the Spirit of Heavenly Fire was; everyone had to search for it themselves. When Long Chen truly approached that massive vortex, he realized this was a completely different world.
Various violent forces were merging, all of which were flame powers. However, fire powers came in countless forms—chaotic, disorderly, mutually attacking and repelling each other.
Sometimes, in this area, the flame rune is like this, but after crossing a mountain, the flame rune changes. This place feels like a war of warlords, each fighting for their own space.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from afar, accompanied by a piercing scream. Long Chen hurriedly rushed toward the voice.
After running for the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he finally saw a devastated battlefield and a trail of blood.
Long Chen reached out to touch the blood on the ground: "A late-stage Divine Lord realm human powerhouse, with impressive blood energy." Long
Chen looked again at the surrounding traces and was shocked. The collapsed parts of the ground were not left by human powerhouses. It seemed that humans had been killed directly after being ambushed, and their bodies were not left behind.
Long Chen saw a huge footprint but couldn't recognize what kind of creature it was. Aside from that person, there was no strange presence in the air.
"So this is the Spirit of Heavenly Fire Qingxuan mentioned. Truly fierce, killing with one move."
Long Chen's eyes flashed with sharpness. Not daring to be careless, he spread his body and ran around several times, but found no trace of the mysterious creature. Helpless, he could only keep moving forward.
But what frustrated Long Chen was that he saw several traces of battles. It seemed everyone had encountered the Spirit of Heavenly Fire before—some had been killed, others seemed to have succeeded, but he hadn't touched a single thing.
At this moment, Long Chen started to panic. Could it be that some damn bad luck was clinging to him again? If that really happened, it would be a disaster—there wouldn't be a single hair at all, and it would be a wasted effort.
"Boom boom boom..."
Just as Long Chen was wondering in his heart, a loud noise suddenly came from afar. He immediately sped up, rushing toward that direction. Even if he couldn't touch him, he had to find a way to borrow light from others.
Sure enough, Long Chen soon saw a powerful figure surrounded by overwhelming demonic energy, fiercely battling a fierce tiger engulfed in flames.
The fierce tiger was engulfed in flames, ferocious beyond measure. Its claws slammed down, the void roared, and large areas of distortion appeared. The force of a single claw rivaled that of a Realm King.
"Is this the Spirit of Heavenly Fire?" Such pure flame power. Long Chen saw the fierce tiger and was both surprised and delighted. This was his first time seeing the spirit of heavenly fire.
This was a spirit of flame, just like Fire Spirit and Lei Ling'er, representing a pure power.
"He only has one rune, which means its power is roughly equivalent to an ordinary first-level Heavenly Realm King." Long Chen carefully observed the flame tiger and found that although countless runes lit up, all of them bore the same shape.
When entering the Heavenly Fire World, Yu Qingxuan had explained the distinctions in the power of the fire spirits here, so that Long Chen wouldn't grab them recklessly. If he encountered a super terrifying fire spirit, he might lose his life in a confused way.
Just as Long Chen was repeatedly observing the fierce battle between the Spirit of Heavenly Fire and the demon clan expert, he suddenly noticed someone quietly sneaking over not far away. Long Chen was taken aback:
"Someone is stealing business?"
