Kapitel 26: Chapter 26: Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire
In the crater.
His prior experience and knowledge, combined with his profound understanding of formations, allowed Su Heng to reach this place earlier than even the Blood Refining Sect's members. With such insights, he realized that this place held an air of mystery, undoubtedly concealing something unknown. Could this be the item the Ancestor had tasked him to find?
Over the past few days, Su Heng had come to terms with his reality and adjusted his perspective. He now treated the Sect's Senior Ancestor with the reverence he deserved. After all, as a Holy Realm expert, addressing him as 'Ancestor' wasn't an affront to his own dignity.
Gazing at the fire before him, Su Heng quickly deduced that it was likely the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire. However, the temperature in the vicinity was astonishingly high, far beyond what he could withstand. Even with his current cultivation at the early stage of the Earth Martial Realm, approaching the fire within five yards risked incinerating him.
During this gap, the people from the Blood Refining Hall also used means to enter the space inside the magma. As soon as they entered, they saw Su Heng who had already arrived here, and they all took out their weapons and pretended to fight. However, this momentum does not seem to be enough.
This was also the reason why the Blood Refining Sect's disciples didn't dare to rashly engage Su Heng. Though they had their injuries, they were well aware that the power of this fire was far more formidable.
Su Heng paid them no attention, dismissing them as insignificant jesters.
"Senior brother, it's the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire." A sharp-eyed Blood Refining Sect disciple pointed to the fire suspended in the air not far away.
This senior brother had indeed noticed it, and a fiery passion ignited within him. The Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire was a priceless treasure of heaven and earth. Even the sect had never possessed one. If he could acquire it, his strength would undoubtedly soar.
However, the figure before him posed a threat he couldn't overlook. A fatal aura surrounded the man, prompting him to reconsider. Yet, he held some confidence, as he possessed secret techniques passed down by the Great Elder. Despite Su Heng's subtle threat, he remained undeterred.
Throughout this period, Su Heng had been contemplating ways to obtain the item he was tasked with finding. Conversely, the Blood Refining Sect's members had been recuperating. Others gradually arrived at this scene, though only a tenth of those who had entered the ruins made it this far. Many had perished.
Several parties confronted each other like this, but due to Chu Nan's deliberate help, the casualties of Qianqiu Sect's people were not large.
As for him, it was not easy to borrow the name of the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, fearing that the relationship will be exposed, and it was not convenient to borrow the style of the Qianqiu Sect, so he could only come in pretending to be a casual cultivator.
"Master, it's the Spiritual Fire of Heaven and Earth." Chu Nan naturally noticed the Spirit Fire suspended not far away in the sky, his eyes flickering with excitement. Xuan Qingzi also noticed it and recognized the fire.
"It's the Earth Core Rock Flame." Xuan Qingzi informed Chu Nan of the name of this Spirit Fire.
"Observe quietly, this is your chance," Xuan Qingzi said with a serious expression. It was akin to snatching a treasure from the tiger's mouth.
Chu Nan understood this principle as well. His expression revealed seriousness, and while he could overlook the others, that man gave him an immense sense of crisis he had never felt before.
As various forces remained locked in a standoff, it was the members of the Blood Refining Hall who were the first to break the deadlock.
Several disciples from the Blood Refining Hall gradually turned crimson-eyed. Astonishingly, they began attacking the people around them. Some of the inattentive disciples from the Blood Refining Hall fell to the ground without any warning, their lives completely lost.
Those around them quickly distanced themselves from the aggressors, yet the possessed individuals, as if under an evil influence, kept attacking indiscriminately. The surrounding people were forced into combat with them.
The leading senior brother of the Blood Refining Hall also felt something amiss, but he quickly suppressed it.
"It's… mind manipulation." Su Heng instantly deduced the reason and looked towards the Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire suspended in the air.
The Earth Core Rock Flame didn't possess such capabilities; it must be suppressing something. However, it seemed this Spirit Fire wouldn't be able to maintain the suppression for much longer.
Just as he was about to collect the fire using his own Origin, Su Heng noticed a youth sneak into the scene. To his surprise, this youth carried a piece of Heaven and Earth Spirit Fire, appearing to be of higher quality than the Earth Core Rock Flame. If Su Heng's guess was correct, it was likely the Azure Sea Azure Sky Flame, likely a subsidiary flame—its intensity wasn't remarkable.
But even a subsidiary flame like this might only be nurtured on the Divine Land, and subsidiary flames split from their main source.
The youth was naturally Chu Nan, and the Spirit Fire belonged to Xuan Qingzi. However, Xuan Qingzi's current condition wasn't sufficient to summon the main fire. Yet, even the subsidiary fire was ample for Chu Nan's present use.
A layer of flames enveloped Chu Nan's exterior, and he slowly approached the Earth Core Rock Flame. With the others engrossed in combat, they failed to notice. Furthermore, Su Heng's assistance made things progress quite smoothly.
With the protection of the Azure Sea Azure Sky Flame, Chu Nan inched closer to the Earth Core Rock Flame. However, just as he was about to retrieve it, the Spirit Fire unexpectedly plummeted into the magma, descending continuously.
This magma naturally couldn't hinder Chu Nan's steps, but its purpose was not to do so.
Countless strands of blood converged through the Earth Core, slowly gathering towards the Spirit Fire. No, to be precise, they were gathering towards something within the Spirit Fire.
Within the volcanic interior, the magma incessantly bubbled and surged, until a certain moment when the magma burst outward, causing everyone to swiftly defend themselves to avoid being harmed by the magma.
When they looked back at the magma, they noticed the Spirit Fire that had fallen into the magma had undergone a significant change.
Nourished by the blood strands, a black aura emitted from around the Spirit Fire, suppressing its flames substantially. It appeared as if the flames were about to be extinguished.
The leader from the Blood Refining Hall, upon seeing this, seemed somewhat crestfallen. His eyes swiftly turned crimson, and a formidable aura radiated from him. In just an instant, his cultivation level had advanced to the Consummation of the Earth Martial Realm. His gaze grew sharp.
"Jie Jie Jie" With a faint chuckle, he emerged from the crowd, his fiery gaze locked onto the Spirit Fire—more accurately, what resided within its heart.
At this moment, he was no longer the senior brother from before; he was the technique left behind by the Blood Refining Hall's Great Elder. Using the person's blood as a medium, he had arrived here, yet his true body remained outside.
That thing was his current objective—the Blood Demon Order of the Blood Demon Clan.
With it, the Blood Demon Clan could initiate their forthcoming plans. The revival of the Holy Order required an abundance of blood essence, and fortuitously, there was a group of people right here.
Without wasting words, he directly took action. With his Consummation of the Earth Martial Realm cultivation, dealing with this group of elites who were only at the Early Stage of the Earth Martial Realm was a simple task for him.
However, he had underestimated Su Heng and Chu Nan among this group. As a result, he would pay the price with his life.
