Chapter 2061 - 1924: Terrifying Flames

Chapter 2061: Chapter 1924: Terrifying Flames

The golden flames surged!

The fifth layer of the Fire Domain was a splendid expanse of golden light, akin to a golden haze.

The temperature of the golden flame was higher than that of the purple fire domain; it hardly seemed like a normal flame.

Ye Fan frowned, feeling that the earth-shattering murderous intent grew even stronger, chilling his very soul.

Outside his body, the terrifying high temperature of the golden flames roasted his Treasure Body, nearly rendering it parched.

"I can still endure!" Ye Fan murmured to himself.

He felt that although the golden flames of the fifth layer were terrifying and the murderous intent could directly slash at one’s soul, his Nine Heavens Profound Body, tempered by the Heavenly Tribulation, could still withstand it.

Passing through the fifth layer of the Fire Domain should not be an issue, but the sixth layer was hard to predict.

He did not know how many layers of fire domains there were in the volcano mouth, but from his previous experiences, the temperature increased with each successive layer.

Without a doubt, the temperature of the sixth layer would be higher than that of the golden flames, and whether his Treasure Body could withstand it was uncertain.

Moreover, the closer he got to the central region, the stronger the earth-shattering murderous intent became. Even if the flesh was intact, whether the soul could endure that unparalleled murderous intent was questionable.

"Chirp, chirp..."

At this moment, Ye Fan suddenly heard a crisp and melodious bird song coming from the depths of the golden flames.

Golden Flame Divine Form!

Ye Fan immediately determined that there must be a divine form formed by the golden flames deep within this golden fire domain.

Every type of flame would condense into a divine form, be it an animal, a plant, or simply like the dreamlike blue fire in the second layer of the fire domain, a mass of mist, formless and shapeless.

Continuing deeper, Ye Fan soon saw a small golden bird perched atop the stone forest ahead, tilting its head as it regarded him, as if it had never encountered such a stranger before.

"Chirp, chirp..."

The golden bird chirped, its voice melodious, akin to a heavenly tune. With its petite body, it appeared very cute.

"What kind of bird is this?"

Ye Fan was surprised, having never seen such an exotic bird before, not even having heard of it, and certainly never finding any record of it in ancient texts.

Soon he discovered that the small golden bird had a fine chain around its leg, like metal, shining with light.

However, he knew that it was by no means ordinary metal, not even Divine Gold, but a Divine Chain entirely formed by the Golden Flame Law.

This Divine Chain firmly tethered it to a stele below, limiting its movement to just over a dozen meters around the stele.

"Crimson Sun Golden Flame!"

Upon approaching, Ye Fan found the stele engraved with striking characters that named this flame.

Beside the four large characters, there was a line of small text, all in the oldest oracle bone script.

If not for Ye Fan being forced by Chu Xuanji to learn this ancient script as a child, he wouldn’t have recognized it.

This line of small text briefly introduced the name and some habits of the golden bird tethered to the stele.

This golden bird was named the Crimson Sun Golden Bird, more terrifying than the Golden Crow by several times. Although it was a divine form congealed from golden flames, it already possessed Spiritual Wisdom.

Moreover, this Divine Bird enjoyed closeness with humans, and if released, would cause catastrophic disaster.

Imagine the consequence if a fire bird, more terrifying than the heat of the sun, entered a planet where humans lived?

Therefore, the Great Emperor had confined it with a Law Divine Chain in the golden flames upon its formation, preventing it from breaking free and endangering humanity.

"Chirp, chirp..."

Seeing Ye Fan’s arrival, the Crimson Sun Golden Bird chirped more joyfully, as if it hadn’t interacted with humans for a long time, with too much to say, appearing exceedingly amiable.

Ye Fan sighed inwardly, truly, the little bird was innocent, its essence was its guilt. It inherently had a kind heart, wishing to be close to humans, yet due to its essence, it was confined to this region.

This Emperor Palace had existed for an untold number of millennia, and here it had been imprisoned like a prisoner for countless ages.

If it were a normal person, even if they hadn’t died, they would likely have gone mad long ago.

"Take me away, I will be very well-behaved!"

Just as Ye Fan was about to leave, the Crimson Sun Golden Bird ceased its chirping and spoke to him with a mournful voice.

At this moment, crystalline liquid seemed to glisten in its eyes.

A divine form formed from golden flames, a little spirit, at the age when it was lively and active, yet cruelly confined to just over a dozen meters of space, how cruel was this?

At this moment, Ye Fan almost couldn’t resist agreeing.

However, he knew he couldn’t do this; if he let the Crimson Sun Golden Bird escape, he would be the sinner of all humanity.

"I’m sorry, I can’t!" Ye Fan halted and, glancing deeply at it, said, "If the opportunity arises, I will come to visit you often, but I really can’t take you away."

"Oh, alright, Birdie understands." The voice of the Crimson Sun Golden Bird was slightly forlorn, like a child who had been wronged, eliciting sympathy.

"You must visit me often, I just want someone to talk with. I’m too lonely." The Crimson Sun Golden Bird murmured softly.

"I will, I definitely will!" Ye Fan replied gently, silently vowing in his heart that if there was a way, he would certainly take the Crimson Sun Golden Bird out.

Leaving the stele, Ye Fan continued onward, quickly reaching the edge of the sixth layer of the Fire Domain, where the golden flames gradually turned into a jade-green color.

Ye Fan attempted to extend an arm into the green fire domain, suddenly feeling a strong burning sensation, his entire arm nearly consumed.

Ye Fan was shocked; his Treasure Body could shatter Holy Weapons and even Quasi-Emperor Weapons, yet it couldn’t withstand the burn of these green flames, showing just how terrifying they were.

He didn’t act rashly, but instead stood at the edge of the sixth layer’s flames, pondering a solution to break through.

The temperature of the Green Flames was too high, and the overwhelming killing intent was even stronger, the dual dangers making it especially tricky for him.

However, the so-called extraordinary fortune must be in the center of the flames, and he couldn’t resign himself to not entering.

Having traveled so far, he would not retreat at the final step; he was determined to see the Fire Domain center clearly.

Meanwhile, Xiao Peng Emperor, Martial Immortal, and Ba Cangtian also broke through three layers of the Fire Domain, reaching the edge of the fourth layer.

However, they didn’t rush in recklessly, the shocking killing intent and terrifying heat of the fourth layer made them furrow their brows.

Eventually, Martial Immortal offered a Holy Sword, suspended overhead, casting thousands of beams of light, as if a Great Emperor was traveling, and calmly passed through the fourth layer Fire Domain, entering the golden flame-filled fifth layer.

Xiao Peng Emperor revealed a crimson jade-like small cauldron, exuding strands of Holy Might, isolating the astonishing killing intent and terrifying heat; like a peerless Divine Emperor, he strode with the prowess of a dragon and tiger through the purple fire domain.

Ba Cangtian’s eyes were icy, with a Jade Bell atop his head, casting a green light, stepping into the purple fire domain with fierce dominance, repelling the purple flames unable to approach him.

Not long after they entered the fourth layer Fire Domain, the Divine Prince and others also arrived at the edge of the Purple Fire.

"Qilin Purple Fire?"

The Golden Divine Dragon snorted disdainfully, creating a golden Golden Divine Fire, instantly pushing back the purple fire, and confidently entered the purple fire domain.

With a stern face, the Peacock let out a clear cry, enveloped in Five-Colored Divine Fire, following the Golden Divine Dragon into the purple fire domain, unaffected by the purple flames whatsoever.

Though strong, the Qilin Purple Fire was held in check by the Peacock’s Five-Colored Divine Fire and the Golden Divine Dragon’s Golden Divine Fire, enough to nullify the harm of the Qilin Purple Fire.

Only the shocking killing intent made them frown, almost slicing their Divine Souls, having spat out two mouthfuls of blood before barely passing through.

Unfazed, the Divine Prince coldly snorted, shrouded in a Divine Ring, like a divine being, confidently stepping towards the purple fire domain.

He deemed that the abilities of the Golden Divine Dragon and the Peacock were far inferior to his own; if even they could pass through safely, surely he would face no problems.

Yet, upon entering the purple fire domain, his expression changed dramatically; the purple flames were far more terrifying than black Netherworld Demon Fire, like countless blades tearing at his flesh, the pain akin to being sliced by thousands of knives was unbearable.

"Ah..."

The Divine Prince screamed, as the Divine Ring instantly collapsed, unable to endure the burning of the purple fire.

At that moment, his entire body was blood-red, the terrifying purple fire even igniting divine power, horrifying him.

This scene stunned Yue Haoyu and others behind, instantly instilling fear.

Being Emperor’s sons themselves, the Divine Prince’s abilities were not lesser than theirs; if he couldn’t withstand such terrifying heat, surely they too would struggle.

"Roar..."

The Divine Prince roared, using the secret technique left by his father, the Sky-Breaking God Emperor, to resist the astonishing killing intent and terrifying heat, exuding a formidable aura.

In that instant, it was as if he awoke as an ancient God Emperor, surrounded by Four Spirits, emanating terrifying emperor might.

He strode towards the center of the Fire Domain, the terrifying heat and shocking killing intent unable to harm him.

Seeing this, Yue Haoyu and Yue Chuan exchanged glances, then imitated him, unleashing forbidden secret techniques, enveloping themselves in a mysterious glow, with emperor energy flowing.

Both strode with the poise of awakened Great Emperors, confidently entering the fourth layer flame area, their bodies releasing faint emperor aura, repelling the purple flames.

Witnessing this, Baling and Jiang Sheng of Jiang Sheng Star’s expressions changed slightly, well aware that their abilities were comparable to the three Emperor’s sons; if they couldn’t withstand the burning of the purple flames, surely neither could they.

Grinding their teeth, the two also used their secret techniques, enveloping themselves in a mysterious glow, enhancing their defenses multiple times, while protecting their Divine Souls with a Holy Artifact, daringly charging into the fourth layer of the Fire Domain.

Though not disciples, they were Quasi-Emperor descendants, with ancestral bloodlines and talents comparable to imperial offspring, and possessed corresponding secret techniques, to temporarily boost their defenses multiple folds, capable of resisting the burn of the purple fire.

As they entered, a young man also used secret techniques, his body as if forged of Divine Gold, exuding a metallic sheen, as he rushed in.

"Here comes the King!"

The Bai Yan wolf howled, wearing the Purple Gold Bell and arriving at the edge of the fourth layer Fire Domain.

"How unreliable, not waiting for me, when I charge in and leave you in shambles, hahaha..."

The Bai Yan wolf howled as it rushed into the fourth layer purple fire domain, the Purple Gold Bell and Qilin Purple Fire resonating as if clearing a path for it.

"The King laughs at the heavens, who can rival me? Destined to prove Dao and be crowned, surveying the Universe..."

Like a thousand-year-old demon unleashed, it boasted wildly, spewing overwhelming demon energy!
