"Brother Long Chen..." Huo Ling'er's call finally pulled Long Chen out of his shock.
"Bang!"
Long Chen pointed his finger. The old man was startled and pinned down by Huo Ling'er, unable to move. Long Chen pointed at the old man's forehead, but the strike not only failed to pierce the old man's skull, but instead caused severe pain in his finger.
"I'm doomed, I can't even soul-search." Long Chen was both shocked and furious. Even with a Three-Meridian Heavenly Saint tied up, he couldn't even finish him off.
If you use other weapons to pry open his mind, you can't search his soul immediately; if things go wrong, his soul might vanish instantly, and nothing can be found.
"Brother Long Chen, let me help you."
At that moment, an ancient bronze cauldron appeared—it was the Demon Moon Cauldron Long Chen had just obtained. As soon as the Demon Moon Cauldron appeared, its lid flew up, swallowing the old man inside.
"Boom!"
The Yaoyue Cauldron closed up, endless runes swirling on it. At that moment, a strange aura rose, and the cauldron trembled uncontrollably.
"Brother Long Chen, help me out." Yao Ling'er called out.
"Buzz!"
Long Chen and Huo Ling'er simultaneously extended a hand and pressed it against the Yaoyue Cauldron—one supported with soul power, the other with flame power.
"Rumble...
"Let me out... You damned human... "You won't die a good death..."
The Yaoyue Cauldron trembled, and the old man's roar echoed from within. He seemed to struggle frantically within, but no matter how hard he tried, he could never break free from the cauldron.
As time passed, the noise inside the cauldron grew quieter and smaller. After the time it takes to burn an incense stick, it was completely calm. At this moment, the Yaoyue Cauldron opened.
"Whoosh!"
A fist-sized transparent sphere appeared, and immediately after, the old man's corpse flew out. Long Chen grabbed the transparent sphere and was shocked to discover that inside the transparent sphere was the old man's memories.
Long Chen couldn't help but feel both surprised and delighted. Yao Ling'er was so powerful that it had directly extracted its memories. Long Chen hurried to check and was shocked to discover that this old man had actually experienced the activation of the Heavenly Fire Demon Domain four times.
He started as an ordinary monster, devouring powerful humans one after another, growing from foolishness to wisdom, gradually gaining wisdom, standing out from the foolish army of monsters and becoming the leader.
However, what shocked Long Chen was that within the army of monsters, there was a group of true leaders who ruled over all monsters.
They were born with intelligence and didn't need to cultivate by devouring humans. Their status was extremely high, and this three-veined Heavenly Saint-level elder was nothing more than a mere errand runner before them.
From his memories, Long Chen saw some fragmented images. These images were extremely blurry and incomplete. Long Chen knew that the old man's memories were sealed, and outsiders could not extract important information.
Nevertheless, Long Chen's gains were still enormous. He knew these monsters had treated these participants as prey and sacrificed the powerful prey to their demon spirits.
The so-called demon spirit was the stone embryo Long Chen saw through the Amethyst Heavenly Eye, but the secret of this stone fetus was completely unknown in the old man's memory.
This was completely illogical, so Long Chen dared to conclude that the old man's memory contained seals or restrictions; any touch would destroy those memories, preventing others from obtaining useful information.
"A three-vein Celestial Saint-level powerhouse is just a lackey. That's a bit scary!" Thinking of this, Long Chen couldn't help but gasp.
"Brother Long Chen, don't be discouraged. If you encounter another Three-Vein Celestial Saint later, I'll kill you and search your soul directly. Let's see if you can find more." Seeing Long Chen's serious expression, Huo Ling'er thought he was upset because he hadn't found any useful information.
Only then did Long Chen smile slightly and say, "You're really impressive. With you all here, even if I encounter a Three-Vein Celestial Saint-level expert, I won't be afraid." As
Long Chen spoke, he tossed the old man's corpse into the chaotic space. Long Chen looked at Yao Ling'er, whose face was full of excitement, but a trace of fatigue appeared in her eyes.
Previously, the Qiankun Cauldron wanted to scold Yao Ling'er, but Long Chen secretly stopped her, because Yao Ling'er was still in the process of adapting and was not fit to use the Yaoyue Cauldron. Just now, helping Long Chen refine his soul, she had already overworked herself.
But Long Chen knew Yao Ling'er very well. Yao Ling'er had slept for too long, and compared to Huo Ling'er and Lei Ling'er, she felt no sense of security.
She was afraid that if she couldn't help Long Chen, she would continue to sleep. Because of this fear, she tried her best to show off. So, even if it meant overexerting herself and causing some harm to her body, she still had to show herself.
Long Chen reached out and affectionately patted Yao Ling'er's head and encouraged her with a few words, which greatly encouraged and excited Yao Ling'er.
After returning to the chaotic space, the Qiankun Cauldron gave her a few warnings, telling her to continue cultivating, and that without its permission, she was not allowed to act at will.
Yao Ling'er also knew she had done something wrong and was very worried about being scolded by the Qiankun Cauldron. However, seeing that the Cauldron only spoke a few words lightly and in a tone less stern, she was instantly overjoyed and obediently continued cultivating.
"There are two more monsters nearby. Let's go check them out!" Long Chen said to Huo Ling'er.
"That's great!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Ling'er was overjoyed. With a wave of the Golden Crow Coiling Dragon Staff, a golden crow flew out, spreading its wings and carrying Long Chen and Huo Ling'er like a meteor of flame, soaring through the sky.
The Ten-Thousand-Mile Golden Crow swept its wings across the sky, golden dust swirling and forming a golden rainbow that lingered in the void, arrogant and domineering.
Golden Crow moved at incredible speed. From above, they quickly spotted a group of monsters cleaning up the battlefield. The so-called 'clearing the battlefield' meant some low-level monsters gnawing on the dirt on the battlefield. Clearly, the battle here was over—they were a step too late.
"Roar!"
When Long Chen and Huo Ling'er appeared, they immediately drew the attention of these monsters, who frantically charged toward Long Chen.
Meanwhile, Huo Ling'er controlled the Golden Crow, charging straight at the group of demons. At the same time, her jade hand opened, and a flaming lotus appeared.
This was the opening move of the World-Destroying Fire Lotus. However, Huo Ling'er's strike was different from Long Chen's; on the lotus, a golden crow totem appeared, along with the shadow of the ancient Fusang tree.
"Buzz!"
The fire lotus had just appeared, rapidly swelling for thousands of miles. With a wave of her jade hand, the massive flame lotus fell like a meteor.
"Boom!"
The flame lotus exploded, golden flames rising upward, faintly visible as countless golden crows danced, and the hibiscus leaves surged violently, colliding with the monsters, instantly turning them into nothingness.
With one strike, the entire world was burned alive. Except for one Three-Vein Heavenly Saint-level demon, all other monsters were wiped out. This strike was countless times more terrifying than Long Chen's World-Destroying Fire Lotus, and Long Chen was startled once again.
"Brother Long Chen, have some tea first. I'll be right back!"
Before Long Chen could speak, Huo Ling'er giggled, holding the Golden Crow Coiled DragonThe staff charged down.
