"Rumble rumble ..."
Endless Heavenly Fire runes surged across heaven and earth. All the spirits of Heavenly Fire in the entire Heavenly Fire World were annihilated, unleashing all their power. The runes formed a vast ocean.
Under Long Chen's pressure, the Son of Yanxu, unleashed his strongest move. Even the Divine Venerable-level Heavenly Fire Spirit was detonated by him, nearly killing Long Chen alive.
This was a force that terrified the entire world, a power beyond everyone's comprehension.
The entire Heavenly Fire World seemed to be boiling over. Between heaven and earth, two Devouring Heaven Whirlpools appeared. These two vortices came from Long Chen's divine ring, and the other from the giant mouth behind Yan Hong.
Both of them were frantically devouring the power of flames in the world. People could see billions of miles of torrents of flame rapidly being absorbed by them.
The other experts' eyes reddened. This was the purest form of heavenly fire power, and ignoring the collapse of heaven and earth, they began to absorb it frantically.
However, their absorption speed was like ants gnawing on water—they could absorb too little flame power, while Long Chen and Yan Hong were like whales sucking water—ninety-nine percent of the flame power was absorbed by the two of them.
Long Chen formed hand seals with both hands and recited the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra. His sacred and solemn voice echoed through heaven and earth, and endless heavenly fire runes, influenced by the scripture, surged rapidly toward Long Chen.
Yan Hong was both shocked and furious. He was the King of Ten Thousand Fires, and the fire of heaven and earth was under his control. But after Long Chen recited the Great Brahma Heaven Sutra, he found that the endless fire of heaven and earth was no longer under his control. The fire power Long Chen absorbed was actually a bit more than his.
"You're not a Fire Spirit physique, aren't you afraid of being overstuffed to death?" Yan Hong shouted coldly while absorbing the fire of heaven and earth.
As he absorbed the fire of heaven and earth, his previously weak aura regained vitality, and his aura began to surge wildly, growing stronger and stronger.
Long Chen ignored Qi Hong. Such terrifying heavenly fire power was simply impossible for Huo Ling'er to absorb directly.
But that was nothing. Long Chen channeled the torrent of heavenly fire into the chaotic space. As the golden lotus seeds trembled, the once fierce tigers that had been fierce beasts instantly transformed into docile sheep, gathering together and obediently lingering in the void.
Faced with Qi Hong's mockery, Long Chen was filled with ridicule too. With this kind of heavenly fire power, he could collect as much as he had.
But seeing Qi Hong's aura rapidly rising, Long Chen was also shocked. The Yanxu Fire was terrifying; this power to control all fires was simply invincible.
But Long Chen knew that in this time, nothing invincible existed. Qi Hong being able to detonate those three Divine Venerable-level Heavenly Fire Spirits didn't mean he could control them.
If Qi Hong could truly control them, he wouldn't need them to self-destruct at all—just attack at once, and Long Chen would be instantly defeated on the spot.
There was no need to painstakingly absorb the power of heavenly fire to strengthen himself like he was now; he must have his own shortcomings.
Yet even so, Yan Hong's power was still full of strangeness and overwhelming despair.
Long Chen was now frantically absorbing the power of Heavenly Fire, which was meant to limit Yan Hong's advancement. If he absorbed more, Yan Hong would absorb less. Otherwise, if Yan Hong absorbed the entire power of the Heavenly Fire World, he would surely die.
Fortunately, the Great Brahma Heaven Scripture can also control all fires of heaven and earth, combined with the super-large range of the divine ring.
At this moment, Huo Ling'er transformed into a billions of little fire dragons, lying on the edge of the divine ring. Empowering the ring, the absorption speed increased even faster. This made Long Chen's absorption faster than Qi Hong's, which was the only thing that gave him peace of mind.
Seeing the power of flames in the world dwindling and being absorbed by the two of them, all the powerful beings grew anxious, but there was nothing they could do.
The flame runes in the world seemed to be branded by the two of them, like swimming fish. They wanted to eat them, but the flame power struggled desperately, exerting no effort, but they couldn't absorb much firepower—not as fast as before.
Seeing no gain, countless people's eyes were filled with anger. They could see it, but couldn't eat it, which was truly painful.
Countless people looked at Long Chen and Yan Xu. Suddenly, someone moved—like a strange bird, silently charging toward Long Chen.
"He's a member of the demon clan. Long Chen, be careful."
Someone cried out in alarm, loudly reminding them. Demonic energy surged around the man. Although they had nothing to do with Long Chen, the demon race was a common enemy of the human race. Many shouted, warning Long Chen to be careful.
"Buzz!"
Amidst countless gasps, the demon clan expert actually charged straight at Yu Qingxuan behind Long Chen.
"Courting death!"
Long Chen was furious. That person was none other than the ancient Flame Demon clan expert who had threatened to kill Long Chen before entering the Heavenly Fire World.
"Long Chen, don't get distracted. Absorb all your strength into the flame power. Our greatest enemy is Yan Hong. Leave him to me." Yu Qingxuan transmitted a message to Long Chen.
"You ...," Long Chen said anxiously.
Yu Qingxuan had just blocked the self-destruction of three Divine Venerable-level Heavenly Fire Spirits for him, exhausting the newly recovered source power. Now, barely catching his breath, how could he possibly withstand that ancient Flame Demon clan powerhouse?
"Please trust me, you must focus on dealing with Yan Hong, or we will all die." After speaking, Yu Qingxuan slashed through the void with her sword.
"Buzz"—
Seven-colored divine light burst forth. The figure of the ancient Flame Demon Clan's once galloping figure suddenly vanished, and when it reappeared, it had already retreated tens of thousands of miles away.
"This ..."
Everyone exclaimed in shock, not even seeing what was happening. The retreat of the Ancient Flame Demon Clan expert was extremely bizarre. By rights, Fairy Qingxuan was already at the end of her rope, so she had no reason to retreat.
"No, it was Fairy Qingxuan's attack, infused with spatial power, that teleported him away, not that he retreated." Someone saw through the trick.
"You wretch of the human race, you deserve to go to hell."
The Ancient Flame Demon Clan expert roared angrily, his entire body surging with demonic energy. He had intended to launch a sneak attack, but was seen through. His demonic sword roared as he charged at Yu Qingxuan once again.
"Colorful Flame Prison"
Yu Qingxuan's longsword suddenly slipped from her hand. She formed a seal with her jade-like hand, and the multicolored divine sword instantly split, transforming into beams of light that descended from the sky, piercing through the earth and forming a heavenly prison that trapped him tightly.
"Break for me!"
The Ancient Flame Demon Clan warrior roared, his demonic sword wildly slashing at the prison. Endless flames erupted, the void collapsed, and the explosions shook the heavens.
Yu Qingxuan's pretty face was pale, and with her jade hand forming hand seals, with the attack of the Ancient Flame Demon Clan expert, blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, slowly dripping onto her pristine white clothes and staining her plum blossoms in bright red.
"Oh my god, I'm already exhausted, yet I can still trap the powerful members of the Ancient Flame Demon Clan. If it were Fairy Qingxuan at her peak, just how strong would she be?" Someone exclaimed.
"Let's not discuss this for now. Should we step in to save Fairy Qingxuan? After all, she belongs to our human race." Someone said anxiously.
"No need, look, Zhao Mingxuan, Wu Yang, and the others have already stepped in to save the damsel." Someone said.
Indeed, Zhao MingxuanWu Yang and other powerful figures rushed out, but soon people's expressions changed:
"They're not here to save Fairy Qingxuan, but to kill Long Chen."
