Chapter 526: Chapter 0521: Xuanhuo Turtle

The strength displayed by the Evil Fire Ancestor startled Feng Tianhao internally.

Having always relied on his identity as a Copper Badge Holy Guard of the Holy Land, he had never taken cultivators outside the Holy Land seriously, and was especially arrogant and haughty towards those from the minor realms.

Unexpectedly, the person before him far surpassed his expectations.

“Bihai’s Fury.”

Feng Tianhao’s expression turned serious, his arms swinging, unleashing immense True Essence power.

As he waved his arms, layers of azure waves surged forth, piling up, rising to a height of five to six zhang.

Whoosh!

The vicious fire serpent, which had encircled Feng Tianhao, suddenly launched an attack from behind.

Feng Tianhao noticed it and shot out, while also stimulating the bloodline within his body, his body’s surface gleaming with a sea-blue light akin to ocean water.

After deploying his bloodline power, he retreated backward, diving into the waves and piercing through them.

In doing so, the vicious fire serpent could not stop its attack in time and struck the surging waves instead.

Boom!

The fire serpent collided with the waves. Water and fire crazily intertwined, a vast expanse of white and green smoke billowing upwards.

“Who would have thought that the Summoning Flame Realm would produce such a formidable Water Path practitioner; I’ve never heard of him before.”

The Evil Fire Ancestor muttered to himself as he fixated on Feng Tianhao.

In the Summoning Flame Realm, most were Fire Dao practitioners, with very few practicing other schools, and Water Practitioners were the rarest of all. It was common for people to not see a Water Path practitioner even once in over a decade.

Now, an extraordinary Water Practitioner appeared before the Evil Fire Ancestor, someone who, despite only being at the middle stage of the Guiyuan Realm, could contend with him.

Roar!

The Evil Fire Ancestor swung his staff, its red crystal top radiating resplendent red flames, manipulating the Fire Dao power of the surrounding area, gathering into a turbulent, burning gigantic fireball.

From afar, Chen Yu could feel the scorching heat coming from the other side.

“Feng Tianhao should be fine. I’ll deal with these two first, then go support him.”

Chen Yu glanced towards the two men in yellow robes.

When those men looked at Chen Yu, fear flashed through their eyes, but with their Master present, they felt braver and attacked Chen Yu together.

The skinny man at the peak of the early Guiyuan Realm, pulled out an iron staff, casting a dull yet fiercely hot shadow of his staff.

The other man at the early Guiyuan Realm used all his tricks, delivering a tyrannical and scorching Flame Fierce Fist.

“Don’t worry, junior brother. We just need to hold this person off for a moment. Once Master takes care of that short and fat one, this one will undoubtedly die as well.”

The skinny man chuckled lightly.

Boom!

Their attacks hit Chen Yu, creating a tremendous noise, fire filling the sky.

Suddenly, a black shadow burst from the flames; it was Chen Yu, who had activated his Secret Pattern Demon Body. Unharmed and exuding a domineering and intimidating demon aura.

The two men’s eyes widened as they saw Chen Yu rushing towards them, their hearts trembling, retreating repeatedly.

Boom!

Chen Yu threw a punch. His dark and domineering fist pressure bore down on them.

“Block it quickly.”

The skinny man cried out in alarm, frantically gathering True Essence, and ferociously smashed a massive dark red staff shadow towards Chen Yu.

The other man at the early Guiyuan Realm also gave it his all.

Boom!

Chen Yu’s fist pressure crushed their attacks to smithereens, striking at the two men.

Their True Essence shields shattered instantly, and they were thrown back, violently crashing into the fire mist forest below, their life and death uncertain.

“Damn you, stop!”

Just at that moment, the Evil Fire Ancestor roared, waving his staff; the sky full of fierce flames turned into a fire serpent, swiftly charging at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu immediately threw a punch, shattering the Evil Fire Ancestor’s attack.

“These two youngsters…”

The Evil Fire Ancestor’s malevolent gaze stayed on Chen Yu and Feng Tianhao, feeling infuriated and suffocated inside.

He hadn’t intended to fight these two, but they were too arrogant and presumptuous, prompting the Evil Fire Ancestor to make a move.

He had thought, by launching a surprise attack, he could quickly take down one of them and then kill the other.

Yet, both their strengths were incredibly formidable; the Evil Fire Ancestor, who had roamed freely for so many years, had never suffered like this before.

“Fire Dragon Skill!”

The Evil Fire Ancestor spread his arms, releasing a tremendous amount of Fire Dao True Essence power into his staff.

Suddenly, the air became unbearably dry and hot, and flames continuously gathered, quickly forming a fire dragon over ten zhang long, its Spiritual Fire roaring and clawing.

“Die.”

With a fierce roar, the Evil Fire Ancestor commanded the fire dragon, charging at Chen Yu.

He thought that the short and plump man was stronger and also a Water Practitioner, inherently incompatible with fire. Consequently, he struck at Chen Yu.

This was his peak strike; once he killed one of them, the game would be broken.

“Brother Chen, be careful!”

Feng Tianhao shouted.

Even he was profoundly moved by the Evil Fire Ancestor’s strike, not daring to meet it head-on.

Chen Yu had just become a Copper Badge Holy Guard–could he withstand it?

“Secret Scales Protect.”

Chen Yu stimulated the second demon pattern, channeling his True Yuan, a layer of demonic scale black light emerging and forming a protective shield.

Just then, the raging fire dragon smashed into it with a “bang,” turning into a whirl of scorching flames that engulfed Chen Yu.

“Burn him to death!”

The Evil Fire Ancestor waved his staff, releasing a Fire Dao True Essence fluctuation.

The endless flames around Chen Yu eroded and burned fiercely, and before long, Chen Yu’s Secret Scales Protect was incinerated.

Chen Yu couldn’t help but be amazed; the Evil Fire Ancestor’s mastery of the Fire Dao was extraordinary.

“Blood Crystal Flame!”

Brother Chen waved his hand, and a blood-red flame burst out, swirling around him, intertwining with the fierce, roaring flames.

The Blood Crystal Flame, ranked within the top hundred on the True Fire Spirit Flame List, was many times more powerful than ordinary flames.

The crimson flame formed a net of fire, spreading outwards, forcing the other flames to retreat.

“This is the legendary Blood Dao Spiritual Flame, the Blood Crystal Flame.”

The Evil Fire Ancestor was shocked, his eyes bulging out as he stared at the flame in Chen Yu’s hand, trembling uncontrollably.

The density of the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi in the Summoning Flame Realm was low, increasing the difficulty of birthing Innate Spiritual Flames; even if one could be birthed, it could not be too powerful.

Therefore, the moment the Blood Crystal Flame appeared, it excited the other party to such a degree.

Feng Tianhao was also slightly surprised, staring at the Blood Crystal Flame in Chen Yu’s hand with some covetousness.

“Go!”

Chen Yu manipulated a portion of the Spiritual Flame, condensing a blood-colored flower and throwing it out.

On the other side, Feng Tianhao launched an attack, slapping out two majestic blue palm lights.

The Evil Fire Ancestor swung his staff, and a sea of flames formed around him, rapidly condensing into a fiery shield to protect him.

However, Chen Yu’s Blood Crystal Flame had a restraining effect on ordinary flames, and Feng Tianhao, a Water Practitioner, had water that restrained fire even more.

Boom!

The combined attack of the two collided with the fiery shield, bursting open and sweeping a storm across all directions.

“Brother Chen, let’s kill this old fossil.”

Feng Tianhao was a bit excited.

Killing a native of the Late Guiyuan Realm was worth quite a few contribution points.

“Alright!”

Chen Yu nodded and charged into the midst of the explosion.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, thousands of flaming arrows shot out from within, densely packed, causing Chen Yu and Feng Tianhao to pause in their steps.

“Break!”

Feng Tianhao swung both palms, shattering the incoming light arrows.

As for Chen Yu, there was no need to worry; with his body’s defensive power, these light arrows, which were not particularly damaging, could not cause him any significant injuries.

Swoosh!

A dark red shadow streaked from another side, skimming into the misty forest of fire.

“Don’t let him escape.”

Feng Tianhao immediately shouted.

At this moment, the two held the upper hand and naturally could not just let the Evil Fire Ancestor escape; regardless of his wealth, bringing back his head would yield them a large number of contribution points.

Chen Yu and Feng Tianhao darted into the misty forest of fire.

Not far below the forest, there was an entrance to an underground cave.

Both were cautiously alert as they entered.

As soon as they entered, the cave trembled slightly, activating an Array’s power, and the entrance suddenly sealed shut.

“Powerless to resist, such a protective Array, how could it stop us.”

Feng Tianhao scoffed, then they began breaking the Array.

On the other side, the Evil Fire Ancestor headed deeper into the cave, through dark and winding corridors leading to the underground.

In a short while, the Evil Fire Ancestor arrived at an underground cave.

The place was exceedingly hot, with a sea of magma beneath the cave.

The moment the Evil Fire Ancestor arrived, the magma surged and exploded, from which burst forth a colossal creature.

Upon closer inspection, it was a Xuanhuo Turtle, entirely red with flame patterns on its shell and several fiery-red spikes on its back; it looked very fierce, and molten lava slowly fell from its body.

It emanated a fearsome and terrible ancient beast aura, making the entire cave extremely oppressive, with the temperature skyrocketing.

“Human, you dare to come back, prepare to die.”

The Xuanhuo Turtle bellowed angrily, and opened its mouth to emit a column of fire.

Swoosh!

The Evil Fire Ancestor leaped into the air, and the column of fire blasted onto the ground, melting it to form a large pit.

“Xuanhuo Turtle, wait, I’ve come to discuss something with you this time.”

The Evil Fire Ancestor quickly spoke up.

“Discuss something? You want to snatch the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal from me again, you cunning human.”

The Xuanhuo Turtle’s gaze was fiery red, its anger unabated as it continued its assault.

“No, you’ve misunderstood, this is about another important matter.”

The Evil Fire Ancestor chuckled bitterly.

“Don’t try to deceive me.”

The Xuanhuo Turtle did not believe the Evil Fire Ancestor and continued its fierce attacks.

The Evil Fire Ancestor fled in all directions, not daring to clash head-on with the Xuanhuo Turtle.

“I’m not lying to you. Outsiders have broken in here and seem to have discovered this place’s secret. I’ve used an Array to temporarily hold them off, but it won’t last long; in a little while, they will be here.”

The Evil Fire Ancestor spoke while fleeing.

“Damn, did you reveal the information?”

The Xuanhuo Turtle became even more furious but gradually stopped its attack.

Five years ago, the Evil Fire Ancestor had arrived and accidentally discovered the underground Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal.

Unable to kill the Evil Fire Ancestor, the Xuanhuo Turtle reluctantly allowed the Evil Fire Ancestor to take a certain amount of the Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal and leave. As promised, the Ancestor would not disclose the location.

Unexpectedly, two years later, the Evil Fire Ancestor returned here.

The Xuanhuo Turtle, with its limited intelligence, began to realize the cunning nature of humans…

“Hehe, I didn’t reveal it; they came here on their own. There are only two of them, and I’m not their match, but combined, we should more than suffice to deal with them.”

“If I help you get out of this crisis, you give me another ten pounds of Primordial Spirit Flame Crystal, and I’ll leave for good, never to disclose this information. How about that?”

The Evil Fire Ancestor wore a shamelessly smiling face.
