Chapter 657: 525 Imperial Sky Spear

"The aura of the Demon Clan’s Great Saint!"

"It’s definitely Lord Bear King, I didn’t expect his body to be preserved."

Just now, the aura of the Earth Bear King explosively burst out, spreading across the entire Wuya battlefield. Even the injured Demon God Zao Chi, who’s trying to heal with all his strength, felt it.

Knowing the body of the Demon Saint is of utmost importance, Zao Chi did not dare to hesitate. Completely disregarding his wounds, he hastily repressed his pain and, taking a squad of Demon Clan Dao Monarchs with him, quickly hurried towards the location of the Bear King’s body.

"Zao Chi..."

"He came here too?"

"Instead of quietly healing his wounds, he rushes here seeking death on his own accord. If that’s the case, then I’ll help him succeed."

Even while being enveloped by the Karma Fire, Jiang Chen’s perception of the external world remains unaffected. Thus, he instantly detected Zao Chi’s aura as soon as it appeared.

Unavoidably, Jiang Chen once again harbored killing intent toward Zao Chi.

Without trying to hide his figure, Jiang Chen just stood in his place, carefreely awaiting the arrival of the Demon Clan contingent.

In the past, if Jiang Chen were cultivating in seclusion, he would definitely set up layers of protective arrays around him to prevent any accidents. However, now, he appears extremely bold, with no defensive arrays around him at all.

Jiang Chen is confident in himself, not only in his own strength, but also in the Red Lotus Karma Flame that’s on him.

Within this continuous cycle of birth and death, the power of the Red Lotus Karma Flame has become even more terrifying. Even some low-level Innate Spiritual Treasures can be melted and turned to ash by it.

The terrifying Red Lotus Karma Flame has already completely engulfed Jiang Chen’s body.

Who would dare attack him now? If one were to attract this fire, even the Innate Dao Sovereign would lose a layer of their skin. In the worst case, they might be directly turned into ashes.

At this moment, the previously deadly Red Lotus Karma Flame has become his strongest defense. Nobody would dare to attack him now.

With the Red Lotus Karma Flame present, what need is there for any other defense? This is the strongest defense, capable of incinerating everything.

"Lord Bear King’s body is up ahead. As long as we can bring it back to the Demon Clan, our elders will be able to revive him through secret rituals. In doing so, the Demon Clan will gain another Quasi-Saint powerhouse."

Even before Zao Chi arrives, his excited voice can already be heard from afar. Then, he arrived before the Blood Pool.

Looking up, he saw the massive body of the Bear King, and the two giant Innate Lotus blooming in front of the carcass.

However, what attracted Zao Chi’s attention the most was not the body of the Earth Bear King, but the figure enveloped by red flames before the two Innate Lotuses.

"Hiss..."

"Red Lotus Karma Flame!"

Recognizing the origin of the Red Lotus Flame, Zao Chi unconsciously gasped, his body involuntarily stepping back a pace.

Zao Chi was truly scared. He had seen nothing as terrifying as the Red Lotus Karma Flame in his life. Even from a great distance, he could sense the terrifying power within the flames, causing him dread.

"Wait!"

"Why does this person look so familiar? Have I seen him somewhere before?"

"It’s him!"

"It’s that human!"

As realisation dawned, Zao Chi identified Jiang Chen. A smile spread across his face. Wasn’t the greatest joy in life to watch your enemies fall into a desperate situation, unable to escape death or take their own lives?

Engulfed by such terrifying Red Lotus Flames, Jiang Chen’s fate was predictable and certainly not pleasant.

"You’ve come to this, huh..."

Elated internally, Zao Chi was about to ridicule Jiang Chen, to mock his plight properly.

However, before Zao Chi’s teasing remarks could be voiced, Jiang Chen coldly interrupted, "Zao Chi, are you looking for death, don’t you know that?"

"Just now, I spared you once. You didn’t cherish it and leave the battlefield. Instead, you boldly came before me."

"Are you tired of living?"

As Jiang Chen spoke, the Red Lotus Karma Flame grew even more turbulent, making him seem like a Demon God emerged from purgatory.

"You..."

Thinking back on how he nearly got killed by Jiang Chen before, Zao Chi was filled with rage. He pointed at Jiang Chen and spat out, "You’re on your last leg and yet you still dare to talk big. The feeling of being burnt by the Karma Fire shouldn’t be pleasant, right?"

Hearing this, Jiang Chen laughed loudly, "What, you want to know? Then come and experience it yourself!"

As he spoke, Jiang Chen suddenly stood up. Transforming into a streak of light, he crossed the vast distance, appearing before Zao Chi, and threw a punch at him.

A normal punch, but because Jiang Chen’s arm carried the fearsome Red Lotus Karma Flame, it had completely turned into something utterly different.

Zao Chi never expected Jiang Chen to act immediately. What surprised him even more was that Jiang Chen, despite being burnt by the Karma Fire, still had the strength to launch an attack.

Caught off guard, Zao Chi completely lost the initiative. Jiang Chen’s punch was inevitable; he could only endure it directly.

The moment the Karma Fire touched him, every hair on Zao Chi’s body stood on end, and a voice in his heart kept screaming, Danger! Danger!

An extreme danger. Zao Chi wanted to retreat, but any path he could take was sealed by the intention in Jiang Chen’s punch. Having no choice, Zao Chi brought out an ancient shield from his Sea of Consciousness, about the size of a person, and placed it in front of him.

Boom!

Jiang Chen’s punch heavily slammed into Zao Chi. The Red Lotus Karma Fire exploded with a bang, transforming into a rain of sparks that scattered in all directions.

The terrifying force transmitted through the shield caused Zao Chi’s entire body to become numb. Unable to help himself, he retreated, with his legs sinking into the ground, plowing two deep furrows in the earth.
