"You say, can he succeed?"

On the rolling magma swamp, Mowun Cave Master asked in a low voice.

Taishui flew while looking at the thousand-mile burning clouds, his expression somewhat complex.

For Mowun Cave Master's inquiry, he did not answer but asked instead.

"Do you hope he succeeds?"

"I..." Mowun Cave Master pursed his lips; since stepping into the Land of Fallen Demons, his usual calm demeanor had become much less, and at this moment, he became even more at a loss.

Halfway through, he said in a low voice: "I don't know. However, this Demon Lord Senior Qingyang is somewhat domineering, but at least he has a bottom line in his actions; when there is no conflict of interest with him, he will not target me. So... I still hope he succeeds!"

In Mowun Cave Master's mind, if Luo Chen succeeded in subduing that Burning Heaven Fire, which looked very powerful, his strength would surely advance greatly.

In this way, in the subsequent journey, their team would also be more guaranteed.

Taishui sneered after hearing this, but did not give an evaluation.

Mowun Cave Master was curious, "What about you?"

"Success or failure has nothing to do with me, but overall, I hope he fails to subdue the Burning Heaven Fire." Taishui said casually.

Mowun Cave Master did not understand, "Why? Could it be that you are afraid that he will threaten your main body?"

"A mere Core Formation cultivator, no matter how powerful, how can he threaten my main body!" Taishui glanced at Mowun Cave Master, seeming to imply something, and then changed the topic, "I'm just afraid that he won't control the proportions well, affecting your subsequent breaking of the restrictions for me."

So that's it.

Mowun Cave Master suddenly realized.

The reason why Taishui specifically chose him and Luo Chen was that what he valued was not their strength, but the superb array attainments they both possessed!

High-level array masters were rare.

Even in the North Sea cultivation world, which was famous for its many rogue cultivators, powerful array masters were often controlled by large sects and families.

And he and Luo Chen, on the surface, were weapon-casting masters famous for refining weapons and treasures, but in reality, they both had impressive attainments in arrays.

Taishui wanted to break the restrictions and let his main body escape, so he had to rely on his and Luo Chen's help.

As for whether Luo Chen's strength could advance greatly, it had little to do with him.

However...

"What does it mean to not control the proportions well?"

Just as Mowun Cave Master was puzzled, a low shout suddenly came to his ears.

"Be careful, there is someone on Zhu Que Mountain!"

Mowun Cave Master was stunned, looked up, and on the Zhu Que Mountain that was about to spread its wings and fly, a figure was sitting cross-legged at this moment.

He sat there quietly, with a sharp long knife inserted beside him.

His hands maintained a seal, silent.

"It's Dao Lan!"

At a glance, Mowun Cave Master recognized the person's identity, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

"Didn't he die under the Demon Emperor's hands?"

Taishui did not answer his question, his spiritual sense spreading frantically with Dao Lan as the center.

"Not just one, there are two more!"

"On the left and right mountain peaks."

"No, not people, they are two third-stage late-stage Great Demon Kings!"

Taishui's tone was urgent, quickly stating the distribution locations of one person and two demons.

Mowun Cave Master's face changed drastically, "It's one thing that Dao Lan is still alive, but how did he get mixed up with two Great Demon Kings? What are they doing at this moment?"

Taishui also had a gloomy expression.

His eyes stared gloomily at the high mountain.

On the main peak, Dao Lan sat in command alone.

On the left and right mountain peaks that seemed like wings, a giant squid and a golden toad stood respectively.

The three figures had almost no concealment.

Or rather, they could not afford to conceal.

"They seem to be joining forces to drive an array!"

Mowun Cave Master observed for a while and analyzed what the three were doing.

Taishui nodded slightly; he was of the same opinion.

Although on the surface, Zhu Que Mountain did not have any changes, there was vaguely an aura completely different from this place flowing through Zhu Que Mountain.

Mowun Cave Master asked carefully: "Then what should we do?"

"Wait!"

Taishui said in a low voice, "Wait for Demon Lord Senior Qingyang to solve the tail, and then make plans."

Mowun Cave Master nodded repeatedly; this decision was exactly what he wanted.

In his view, none of the one person and two demons were easy to deal with.

Dao Lan, the fourth eight-star demon hunter of the Wan Sima Xian Society, had extremely powerful combat strength. Even when Ding Yi was still alive, he was very wary of Dao Lan and could only use benefits to lure him when communicating.

And the other two demon beasts, that giant squid was clearly the legendary giant squid.

That golden toad could not be identified, but since it could be ranked with Dao Lan and the giant squid, its ability would certainly not be bad.

In the absence of Demon Lord Senior Qingyang, relying solely on himself and Taishui, who could not fully exert Ding Yi's physical strength, they would definitely not be able to defeat the three.

Therefore, only wait!

Zhu Que Mountain.

Dao Lan sat cross-legged, his magic power pouring out like flowing water.

His aura was very sluggish, to the point that his face was very pale.

But even so, he could not stop the movements in his hands and could only constantly inject magic power into the mountain beneath him.

"Unexpectedly, I, a generation of Blade Kings, have fallen to this point. Being a puppet for others is one thing, but I also have to ignore my foundation and consume a lot of magic power to set up an array for others."

Dao Lan also had a Daoist title.

Because he had been stationed on the Liuyang defense line for a long time and slaughtered demon beasts on a large scale, he was flattered by many rogue cultivators of the Wan Sima Xian Society and took the Daoist title of Slaughtering Demon Blade King.

He didn't use this title much, but compared to his current situation, it was truly bitter.

Dao Lan had a bitter smile on his face, his gaze wandering from time to time in this world full of fire light.

"Recently in the Blazing Purgatory, volcanoes have erupted frequently, and the earth has been shaking constantly; such strange things, I think it is because there are strong people entering again."

"I just hope they don't come to Zhu Que Mountain, otherwise they won't be able to go back."

Dao Lan shook his head and looked at the red clouds hundreds of miles away.

Inside, the wind was rolling and the clouds were moving, and the murderous intent was clanking.

He remembered that there was a fourth-stage fire spirit there, which was transformed from a source-less fire breaking through to the fourth stage.

That fire spirit was extraordinarily powerful and had the advantage of the home field, so even the three of them did not want to provoke it easily.

Being able to fight that fire spirit to a draw, it must also be an extremely strong existence!

Such an existence, I am afraid, would not skip the treasure land of Zhu Que Mountain.

Once the other party comes, there will inevitably be a great battle.

"If he can kill Shark Emperor Liu Jun, he might be able to solve my situation of being enslaved."

"But if the other party comes here, the first thing they have to deal with is the three of us; if they are too strong, I am afraid I will die first."

Contradictory mood, constantly flowing on Dao Lan.

The pain in his eyes was even more entangled.

Just at this time, a sharp shout came from the mountain peak next to him.

"Dao Lan, don't stop the magic power, if the array is interrupted, the Shark Emperor will definitely hold you accountable!"

It was that giant squid.

A look of anger flashed in Dao Lan's eyes.

If it weren't for you occupying the home field of the Sinking Sea and the Demon Emperor cutting off your own retreat, I would not have become a prisoner.

Do you really take yourself seriously?

However, even if angry, his body still honestly increased the output of magic power.

Within Zhu Que Mountain, a dark blue light suddenly increased and gathered toward a figure.

If Luo Chen were here and saw that figure, he would definitely recognize his identity.

Shark Emperor Liu Jun!

The fourth-stage Demon Emperor who escaped from the North Pole Ye Ye Motian!

Wisps of dark blue light gathered on his body, his aura became more and more mysterious, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Suddenly.

His figure stopped in a volcano that was burning non-stop.

"Found it!"

"It took a full year or more, footsteps covered the Five Elements Heaven, and finally found you!"

Under the volcano, endless magma merged into a large lake.

A lotus flower was quietly blooming with five petals of different colors in the magma lake.

As the petals stretched, the light on the lotus flower was constantly changing, sometimes shining gold, sometimes green, and when the fire light flowed, it was suddenly crimson.

Looking at this scene, Shark Emperor Liu Jun's eyes showed wild joy.

The five elements are coiled, the nature is clear and the life is firmer. Planting gold lotus in the fire, turning into gods and immortals!

This legendary Five Elements Lotus Platform was even higher in quality than the one he saw in the Green Elixir Valley back then!

"This trip was worth it after all!"

Seeming to have been suppressed for a long time, the extremely handsome Liu Jun laughed loudly at this moment regardless of his demeanor.

With his loud laughter, the magma lake immediately boiled.

That five-colored lotus platform began to sink slowly.

"It actually gained intelligence, how can I let you escape!"

Shark Emperor Liu Jun's face changed, and the dark blue light in his hand immediately rushed toward the magma lake.

Not only that, he moved his heart and suddenly unfolded his Nascent Soul domain!

Isolating the fire-attribute spiritual energy here, wanting to separate the five-colored lotus platform.

In the thousand-mile red clouds, two huge figures collided, stirring up endless waves.

Looking closely, both were the same appearance.

Even the colors on their bodies were the same.

Both were crimson Great Pengs!

"The spirituality is quite sufficient, actually able to borrow clouds to transform into form and resist my attack."

Luo Chen, who changed into the Heavenly Peng True Body, was not surprised but happy.

This Burning Heaven Fire had already gained intelligence, and its strength was definitely not inferior to that Nine-Yang Golden Eagle, and even because of the advantage of the home field, it was more powerful by three points.

But unfortunately, its home field was also Luo Chen's home field!

In these thousand-mile burning clouds, the power of Luo Chen's Senluo Fire Prison reached its maximum, no longer limited to a hundred zhang in radius, and could spread to a thousand zhang, five thousand zhang.

No matter where the Burning Heaven Fire Spirit escaped, Luo Chen could follow it like a shadow.

Speed was the absolute gap between the two!

Later on, the Burning Heaven Fire Spirit also realized that it could not escape and began to collide head-on with Luo Chen.

However, Luo Chen, who directly opened the second form, had the Withered Glory True Fire attached, and was not afraid of the burning of the Burning Heaven Fire at all.

After hundreds of rounds, its decline was already obvious.

"Want to run again?"

Seeing the Burning Heaven Fire Spirit, which had turned into the same appearance as his Heavenly Peng True Body, flapping its wings and wanting to leave the thousand-mile red burning clouds, Luo Chen smiled.

"Unfortunately, it's too late!"

The Senluo Fire Prison was urged again, covering a range of several thousand zhang.

Not only that.

In the void, there came a clanking sound.

Chains flew out from Luo Chen's body, binding the Burning Heaven Fire Spirit with lightning speed.

When the chains reached its body, the fire spirit panicked.

Its body shape also began to change constantly.

From a fire Peng to a steed, then to a human appearance, then to a dragon and giant python, truly responding to the ever-changing meaning of the clouds.

It's just a pity.

Under the spirit-locking power of the Hunyuan Cauldron, no matter how it changed its true body, it could not escape.

The Senluo Fire Prison began to tighten constantly, and the nine giant chains also tightened more and more.

Finally, the Burning Heaven Fire Spirit revealed its original form!

A fire flame that looked like red clouds was struggling and burning there.

Luo Chen looked at this scene with satisfaction; the power of the Hunyuan Cauldron was even better than before.

Especially these things without a physical body had a stronger targeting effect, and he suppressed it so easily without even taking out the main body of the Hunyuan Cauldron.

Then next...

Luo Chen opened his mouth and spat out.

A wisp of green flame flew out leisurely, turning into a one-zhang small tree phantom in the void.

The small tree stood in the void, and its roots went straight into the red cloud fire flame.

"Fourth-stage source-less fire, if you want to refine it, it will take a lot of time."

Luo Chen murmured, and immediately sat cross-legged in the void without panic, operating his life-bound cultivation method.

When he started to urge the origin true fire to swallow the source-less fire again, he suddenly found that the refining speed seemed to be much, much faster than before.

"Eh?"

"How can it be so easy, it seems to be easier than refining third-stage source-less fire before?"

Luo Chen was surprised.

While refining the source-less fire, he was looking for the reason for this change.

"Is it because the grade of my Withered Glory True Fire is getting higher and higher?"

"Or am I becoming more and more familiar with this process... or is it the help of my life-bound magic treasure, the Hunyuan Cauldron?"

Perhaps, these factors all exist.

But in the end, Luo Chen found the main reason for the faster swallowing speed.

On the system panel, a term was flashing with brilliant light.

Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra Grandmaster 501/I don't know when, the proficiency of the life-bound cultivation method had quietly broken through to the Grandmaster level!

After noticing this change, Luo Chen was extremely excited, almost interrupting the process of swallowing the fourth-stage Burning Heaven Fire.

Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough, and he immediately restrained his excited mood.

But even so, Luo Chen was still extremely happy.

This "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" was the most profound divine skill he had ever learned in his life.

Since he got it, it had been more than forty years!

If it were any other cultivation method or magic spell he had learned before, it would have long since reached Great Perfection.

However, the progress of the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" was so slow that it was simply outrageous.

Even if he operated it day and night without stopping, and his realm was promoted to the Core Formation sixth-layer, and he was only a small part of the progress bar away from the Core Formation seventh-layer, the proficiency of the life-bound cultivation method was still stuck at the perfect level.

It seemed that there were only dozens of proficiency points away from the so-called Grandmaster level, but it was still like a snail crawling.

It could be imagined that it would be harder and harder later, and I don't know how many years it would take to reach the Great Perfection level.

Unexpectedly, after setting foot in the Blazing Purgatory, urging the life-bound cultivation method again and again, and swallowing source-less fire with origin true fire, the proficiency began to soar.

In just a few months, it crossed the perfect level in one fell swoop and reached the Grandmaster level.

And once it reached this level, the efficiency of swallowing source-less fire increased sharply by more than ten times.

"Sure enough, the function of swallowing source-less fire originates from this set of cultivation methods!"

"It can even be said that this miraculous function should only be displayed when cultivated to a deep level, that is, the Grandmaster level."

The Grandmaster level on the system panel can be compared to the Great Accomplishment attainment in the mouths of ordinary people!

And Luo Chen discovered this wonderful use a step earlier and experimented and practiced it, which also led to the soaring of proficiency in a short time.

"This is truly a double happiness!"

Luo Chen smiled freely, his magic power intensified, and the swallowing process accelerated by three points again.

A few days later.

Luo Chen floated down slowly from the thousand-mile red burning clouds.

The aura on his body became more and more domineering and fierce.

When flying in the void, there was a feeling of being like a fish in water.

It seemed that this Blazing Purgatory was his home!

When Luo Chen stopped again at a low hill and showed a look of surprise, a low voice came to his ears.

"Luo Chen, too much is as bad as too little!"

Luo Chen was full of displeasure, "What's wrong?"

"You can't go on like this anymore." Han Zhan's voice came again.

Luo Chen snorted, "Why not, I can feel that if I continue like this, my origin true fire will undergo a qualitative change, and it might be able to cross the fourth stage in one fell swoop and reach the fifth stage!"

As he spoke, a small tree with green flames in his Qi sea swayed its branches slightly, as if responding to him.

Han Zhan was silent.

Watching Luo Chen take a step again and fly toward the low hill that might hide source-less fire, Han Zhan finally spoke again.

"At that time, should I call you Luo Chen, or should I call you Withered Glory Fire Spirit?"

Green flames permeated his whole body, burning the void.

Luo Chen's footsteps froze in mid-air, as if struck by lightning, and his face became extremely ugly.
