In the Thousand Flame Valley, due to the refinement of the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flameâs tinder, the rest of the flames lost their power source and gradually dissipated.
Cultivators rushed into the depths of the Thousand Flame Valley, trying to confirm whether the Lin clan took the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame.
However, they were stunned to see Lan Yu and Lil Fox guarding outside the Heavenly Blaze Palace upon their arrival.
âItâs Chu Kuangrenâs people.â
âWait. I donât see anyone from the Lin clan. Unless the one who refined the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame wasnât the Lin clan but⦠Chu Kuangren?!â
Dumbfounded, everyone quickly mobilized their Immortal Consciousness to spy on the situation.
Due to the divine fireâs effect, their Immortal Consciousness could not see clearly what was happening inside the Heavenly Blaze Palace. However, they still managed to catch a glimpse of a figure in white refining the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame, with its back facing them.
They were more than familiar with the figure.
âIt is Chu Kuangren.â
âI canât believe heâs refining the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flameâ¦â
âHeâs amazing. He has taken the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame that the Lin clan took so much trouble to find.â
Everyone was amazed.
Since Chu Kuangren already possessed the Phoenixâs Flame, they could not imagine how powerful his cultivation of flames would be by owning the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame. He would at least rank first among the younger generation.
Even the former Fated One, Lin Yan, was far behind in terms of power.
They did not intend to stop Chu Kuangren either. After all, Chu Kuangrenâs power was evident to all, and they did not want to be Chu Kuangrenâs enemy.
âSo what if we stop Chu Kuangren? We canât refine the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame anyway.â Most people thought so.
However, there were exceptions.
In the void, several Immortals looked at each other.
âChu Kuangrenâs strength is unfathomable, and heâll be more powerful if he gets the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame.â
âThis will definitely pose a threat to our Master, the Blood Monk Disciple.â
âFor the sake of Master Blood Monk Disciple, we canât allow him to succeed.â
The eyes of those Immortals were filled with enthusiasm and determination as if they could sacrifice everything for their Master Blood Monk Disciple.
Whoosh!
The Immortals instantly took action.
They turned into streams of light and dashed toward the Heavenly Blaze Palace.
Lan Yuâs face turned cold as she sensed something. âYou have a death wish!â
She spread her wings to activate her Radiant War Immortal Physique to its fullest potential. Then, a white Immortalâs Core gushed out and turned into a light barrier that shrouded the entire Heavenly Blaze Palace.
âHoly Light Barricade!â
After setting up protection to temporarily stop the Immortals, Lan Yu stepped out with a white scepter in her hand.
As she swung the scepter, bursts of light energy surged with strong battle intent.
âDefeat her first!â
Several Immortals exchanged glances before they attacked Lan Yu with all their strength.
âSister Lan Yu, let me help you out!â
Lil Fox was not to be outdone as well. Having cultivated the Immortal Tushan Scripture, she had since advanced into an Immortal, only to defeat another Immortal straightaway.
The two fought, causing the ground to crack and the void to tremble.
Lan Yuâs strength was so formidable that no ordinary Immortals were her opponents. Hence, she did not fall to a disadvantage even if she was surrounded by a few Immortals.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Immortalâs Core energy fluctuations erupted one after another.
âWe wonât be able to break through her if this goes on.â
âAttack!â
The two Immortals looked at each other, and as they yelled out at the same time, blood-red brilliance flowed around their bodies.
With that, their aura began to rise steadily!
âThis is the Life Essence Ignition Technique!â Lan Yu frowned.
The rest of the people were amazed, to say the least.
âHow much hatred and resentment do these people have with Chu Kuangren to willingly sacrifice themselves?â
âYeah, theyâre trying too hard.â
âIf Iâm not mistaken, the forces these people belong to have no conflict of interest with Chu Kuangren. Why are they suddenly making a move on him?â
Some people were confused.
Just then, having burned their life essences to obtain more powerful combat strength, the Immortals launched a more violent attack on Lan Yu.
While the two sides were at a stalemate, a monstrous aura suddenly erupted from the Heavenly Blaze Palace. Several sword rays wrapped in the golden-red Phoenixâs Flame and a loud phoenixâs roar shot out!
âAh!â
Accompanied by several screams, most of the attacking Immortals were killed by the sword qi and turned into ashes. Only an Immortal, whose Immortal Soul was kept but his physical body was decapitated, remained alive.
Following that, a giant hand formed from an Immortalâs Core stretched out from the Heavenly Blaze Palace to grab the Immortal Soul.
âChu Kuangren has taken action.â
âI canât believe he could free up his hands to kill Immortals while refining the Karmic Flame. How strong is he?â
âWhat a scary man.â
Amidst everyoneâs surprise, an indifferent voice sounded from the Heavenly Blaze Palace.
âEveryone leave Thousand Flame Valley now. Otherwise, the consequences will be at your own risk!â
After that, sword qi swept across the land like a hurricane, which terrified all the cultivators, and they immediately retreated.
They looked at each other before leaving the Thousand Flame Valley as they could not resist Chu Kuangrenâs strength.
In the Thousand Flame Valley, Chu Kuangren looked at the Immortal Soul in his hand indifferently while refining the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame. The Omniscient Spirit activated and analyzed all information of the Immortal Soul, which concluded that the Immortal Soul had been manipulated.
A mischievous look appeared on Chu Kuangrenâs face. âInteresting. Is it related to a soul technique? Who could do this?â
âThis aura⦠Itâs Buddhist Light.â
He noticed a faint glow of blood-colored Buddhist Light around the Immortal Soul.
It reminded him of the sudden emergence of the evilest aura when he destroyed the Golden Ridge Temple back then.
The aura was exactly the same as the blood-colored Buddhist Light.
âInteresting. Is it the evil thing that was born that day?â mumbled Chu Kuangren.
âMaster Blood Monk Disciple will make you pay for it!â
The Immortal Soul shouted, not at all afraid that Chu Kuangren would kill him.
âBrainwashed fella, you have no value to me anymore.â
Chu Kuangren clenched his fingers and killed the Immortal Soul with a bang.
After that, he continued refining the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame.
â¦
Further away, the Blood Monk Disciple looked in the direction of the Thousand Flame Valley. âA few of my puppets have been killed. Chu Kuangren, the battle has just begun.â
He grinned while walking in the opposite direction of Thousand Flame Valley with large numbers of worshippers behind him.
They looked devoted and fanatic.
Soon after, the Blood Monk Disciple came to a dark place with tons of eerie demonic qi in the air.
There was also a palace, and a feminine-looking man in a black robe was sitting with his legs crossed in there.
He was the source of the eerie demonic qi in the place.
âIâm glad youâre here,â said the feminine-looking man indifferently as he glanced at the Blood Monk Disciple.
âLong time no see, Ming Zi, the descendent of the Demonic Daoâs Yin Underworld Tribe,â said the Blood Monk Disciple with a faint smile.
âGo straight to the point and state your purpose here.â
âIâm here to join forces with you to deal with a person.â
When Ming Xi heard that, a strange look appeared in his eyes. âIf Iâm not mistaken, the person is Chu Kuangren.â
âIndeed. He is a serious threat to the Battle of Destiny. If he stays alive, Fated Ones like you and I will never be noticed.â
âWhat do you want me to do?â
âActivate the Yin Underworld Portal and lead him inâ¦â
