Chapter 644: 553 Subduing a Fifth-Order Spirit Flame_1

A vast and boundless black forest, the air filled with the stench of decay.

An ear-shattering roar came from the depths of the forest, as a black ray shot out from deep within, moving swiftly.

Ghostly cries of "woo woo" were heard; as the void fluctuated, a black ghost claw materialized out of nowhere, striking the black ray accurately.

With a "bang," the black ray crashed to the ground, revealing an injured black bear covered in scars.

A faint black light darted toward it, and just as the black bear prepared to defend itself, a piercing ghostly cry sounded.

The black bear suddenly felt dizzy and weak all over.

The black light entered the black bear’s left eye and flew out from the back of its skull, leaving the black bear lifeless.

A chilly wind blew as a tall young man in black appeared, his presence saturated with yin qi.

With a single gesture, a black flying needle flew towards him, disappearing into his sleeve.

"A fifth-rank Quake Hill Bear, excellent material for Corpse Refinement."

The young man muttered to himself.

Xu Wei, in the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation, hailing from the Yinluo Sect.

He packed up the black bear’s corpse and vanished from the area in a gust of yin wind.

······

Atop a mountain with steep slopes, at the base of the mountain was a massive cave, from which deafening explosions sounded, shaking the entire peak violently.

After a moment, the explosions stopped.

Inside the cave, a man of average height dressed in a blood-colored robe stood before a golden fruit tree three zhang high, with more than a hundred golden fruits hanging from it.

"So many Golden Soul Fruits! This Secret Realm does have its fair share of treasures!"

The blood-robed man said joyfully.

Golden Soul Fruit is the main ingredient in crafting a sixth-grade Golden Soul Pill, known for bolstering the Divine Soul.

He carefully harvested more than a hundred Golden Soul Fruits, taking the entire tree with him.

"I wonder if there are any Spiritual Medicines or Spirit Fruits that can aid in breaking through to the Refinement Void Phase."

The blood-robed man muttered to himself, a look of anticipation on his face.

Chen Qian, in the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation, from the Blood Flame Sect.

He took out a glowing blood-red pearl, with an emblem of a blood-flamed fire on its surface, and injected a spell.

The blood-red pearl radiated blinding blood light and flew out of the cave.

Chen Qian hurriedly followed, trailing the blood-red pearl.

After flying three million li, a blood-red pearl of the same size approached him from the opposite direction, with a slender woman in a green dress following close behind.

"Junior Sister Wu, are you here alone?"

Chen Qian asked with a frown.

"Yes! If it weren’t for the Blood Flame Pearl, I wouldn’t have been able to meet up with Senior Brother Chen!"

The woman in green said.

Wu Rongrong, in the Late Stage of Divinity Transformation.

She and Chen Qian cultivated the same technique and could perform the Combined Attack Technique with five people.

"It seems this Secret Realm is quite large, fortunately, we have the Blood Flame Pearl. As long as Brother Jiang and the others are within ten million li of us, the Blood Flame Pearl can guide us to meet up."

Chen Qian said confidently.

All five cultivators practiced the Combined Attack Technique and held a Blood Flame Pearl in hand; they had previously entered secret realms to hunt for treasures and had experience in this area.

"Senior Brother Chen, we need to find the control hub of the Secret Realm, to avoid the Qianling Sect, the Nine Flames Sect, or the Li Family getting there first."

Wu Rongrong said.

"The Secret Realm is too vast, finding the control hub won’t be easy, let’s try our best! Let’s leave this place first."

Chen Qian put away the Blood Flame Pearl, and together with Wu Rongrong, left the place.

······

An undulating white mountain range, fierce cold winds, and a flurry of snow.

A thunderous explosive sound came from an underground cavern, and the ground started shaking violently.

A white light flew out from the underground cavern, not getting far before a golden light shone in the void, transforming into a huge Golden Crow, emitting a terrifying high temperature.

The Golden Crow flapped its wings, colliding with the white light.

With a series of booming sounds, the body of the Golden Crow exploded, turning into a sea of golden flames that engulfed the white light.

The white light turned out to be a thick-waisted White Serpent. The golden flames engulfed its body. The White Serpent let out cries of extreme pain as scales fell off its body and blood poured out.

A ripple appeared in the void, and a Sky-Supporting Giant Hand wrapped in golden flames emerged and struck the White Serpent.

The White Serpent’s body hit the ground, melting the nearby ice.

A streak of golden light flew in, severing the head of the White Serpent.

A girl in a golden skirt with a painted-like face flew out of the cavern, landing beside the White Serpent’s corpse.

"A fifth-stage middle-stage Ice Armor Python, I can refine a lower-grade Sky-Reaching Spiritual Treasure with ice attribute when I get back."

The girl in the golden skirt muttered to herself, claiming the Spirit Soul of the Ice Armor Python and storing the corpse in her Storage Bracelet.

Zhao Yuqian, at the late stage of Divinity Transformation, born into the Nine Flames Sect.

She flicked her sleeve, and the golden flames turned into a beam of golden light that flew into the sleeve, while a giant golden blade also flew back, turning into five golden, shimmering Flying Needles midway.

Zhao Yuqian flipped her right hand, and a chicken egg-sized golden pearl appeared in her hand, infused with Mana.

The golden pearl burst forth with a blinding golden light, and a pair of golden shimmering wings grew on Zhao Yuqian’s back. With a light flap, she flew towards the southwest and quickly vanished into the skyline.

······

A vast expanse of Red Mountain Range, from deep within the mountains erupted an ear-splitting roar of a beast, shaking the earth and the mountains.

In the depths of the mountain range, Shen Long was entangled in a battle with a giant Golden Phoenix, which upon closer observation, was not solid.

Shen Long’s arms moved, unleashing dense yellow fist shadows. The Golden Phoenix flapped its wings fiercely, and a large amount of red Spirit Flame surged in the void, transforming into red fire spears, meeting the attack.

With a series of thunderous roars, the dense red fire spears collided with the yellow fist shadows, both annihilating each other.

Waves rippled in the void above the Golden Phoenix’s head, and a fuzzy yellow Quake Hill Bear’s Paw appeared out of nowhere, accurately striking down on the Golden Phoenix.

The body of the Golden Phoenix exploded, turning into a large swath of golden flames. As the flames quickly gathered together and barely formed another Golden Phoenix, the dense yellow fist shadows struck down once more.

A massive explosion sounded, and the body of the Golden Phoenix exploded once again, reverting to a swath of golden flames.

Shen Long shook his sleeve, and the Qianyang Cauldron flew out, emitting a red aura that enveloped the golden flames, drawing them into the cauldron.

"To think it’s a fifth-stage Spirit Flame, the Qinglian True Flame will enhance my Alchemy efficiency if it refines this flame," Shen Long said to himself, face full of joy.

He had found a fifth-stage Spirit Flame in this volcanic cluster and managed to subdue the flame smoothly.

With a beckoning hand gesture, the Qianyang Cauldron shrank rapidly and disappeared into his sleeve.

He released the Hundred Eyes Cicada, and its eyes burst forth with dazzling golden light.

"Master, to the west four hundred li, there’s a cavern with two Red Fire Monkeys, their stage undetermined," reported the Hundred Eyes Cicada.

Shen Long nodded, his Divine Sense fully deployed, detecting two powerful auras in a cavern four hundred li away, merely at the late stage of Divinity Transformation.

Shen Long felt relieved and flew westward.
