That was a fierce beast manifested from black demonic flames, roaring as it charged fiercely toward Chu Yan.
"Demon Race!"
Chu Yan narrowed his eyes, killing intent radiating intensely!
Flames ignited on his right fist as he threw a punch directly at the roaring demonic flame beast.
Boom!
A explosive sound rang out as flames scattered in all directions. The pitch-black demonic flames instantly shattered, the powerful energy impact causing the volcano to shake violently.
Whoosh!
Chu Yan's figure emerged from the explosive energy, charging directly downward toward Chi Yan without any hesitation.
"Die!"
Chi Yan growled lowly, his body flashing to appear in front of Chu Yan. With a single punch, several heavenly-grade demon flames surrounded his fist, transforming into a rapidly spinning fire wheel that attacked Chu Yan.He understood very clearly - if he didn't kill his opponent, it would be difficult for him to focus on refining this Divine Flame!
However, in the next instant, a jet-black flame emitting demonic properties appeared before Chu Yan, transforming into a wall of fire that blocked the attack.
"What?!"
"This is Extinction Demonic Flame!"
"You're that Chu Yan who stole our Divine Flame?!"
Chi Yan exclaimed in shock, as this matter had already spread throughout their Flame Demon tribe - everyone knew about it!
In an instant, his expression turned fearful. How could he possibly be a match for someone who controlled a Divine Flame?
"My reputation is that big already?"
"Unfortunately, the only reward I can give you is sending you to reincarnation!"
Chu Yan coldly laughed as the black flames of Extinction Demonic Flame instantly surged, swallowing Chi Yan whole!
"Ah! I can't accept this!"
Chi Yan roared loudly - he had actually died by their Flame Demon tribe's own Divine Flame.
The agonized scream was piercing, but it only lasted for a breath's moment!
"Why wouldn't you accept it?"
"I specifically used demonic flames just to let you die with clarity!"
"Logically speaking, being able to die under your own tribe's Divine Flame should be considered a blessing for you people!"
Chu Yan withdrew the Extinction Demonic Flame. Chi Yan's body remained completely intact, without even a trace of burning on his clothing, but all life energy had completely vanished, just like the Buddhist concept of extinction - which was how Extinction Demonic Flame got its name!
This flame lacked scorching heat, but its fire could instantly incinerate a person's soul!
Chi Yan was dead, but his several heavenly-grade flames remained behind, collected by Chu Yan.
Although Heavenly Flames had limited power, his cultivation technique could fuse Heavenly Flames into Divine Flames!
Chu Yan didn't linger, continuing deeper down the volcano!
Before long, he entered the magma. The magma here was filled with Divine Flame fire, the temperature rising to an extremely terrifying degree. Without Martial God cultivation, it would be impossible to enter this place.
Continuing for tens of thousands of meters, Chu Yan arrived at an underground river, though the water here was scorching hot magma. The temperature here had reached levels even a Martial God couldn't endure. Even for a fire specialist like Chu Yan, he had to cloak himself in a Divine Flame garment!
"No wonder Hell's Gate didn't dare explore this place - Martial Emperor cultivation simply couldn't reach here!"
"Even a Martial God couldn't survive here without special means!"
Splash!
Just as Chu Yan entered the magma river, a crimson flame burst forth from the river's upstream!
Seeing this, Chu Yan flew toward the magma river's upstream, soon arriving at the flame's source.
This place resembled a massive magma lake. Suspended at the center of the magma lake was a crimson giant egg the size of a house, its shell densely covered with various intricate golden runes!
"This couldn't be a phoenix egg, could it?"
Because a large bird's phantom would occasionally appear on the eggshell, though Chu Yan wasn't certain if that phantom was actually a phoenix.
"Whether it's a phoenix egg or not, I'm taking it back!"
This was something Chu Yunling wanted!
Then Chu Yan discovered that beneath the crimson giant egg, a cluster of golden flames was continuously burning the giant egg.
"This... is this roasting an egg?"
His eyes widened in disbelief - that cluster of golden flames was clearly burning that giant egg!
"Could this have been cooked long ago?"
Because that cluster of flames was a Divine Flame - being burned by Divine Flame, it would be strange if it wasn't cooked!
Chu Yan flew to the giant egg's side, extending his divine sense. To his shock, he discovered there was still life energy within the giant egg.
"This giant egg hasn't been burned to death - it's still alive!"
Chu Yan decisively collected the giant egg. However, just as he moved the giant egg away, the flames below seemed to erupt. A golden large bird shot out from the golden flames, attacking Chu Yan.
"Holy shit!"
Chu Yan was startled, immediately summoning Cangtian Virtual Flame.
Two Divine Flames collided in mid-air, golden and white flames sweeping in all directions, creating rolling waves of fire!
"This is the Phoenix clan's Nirvana Divine Flame!"
Cangtian Virtual Flame said.
"Nirvana Divine Flame? The flame that can bring the dead back to life?"
"Correct!"
"That egg should be a phoenix egg. The Nirvana Divine Flame continuously burning it should be to make it undergo nirvana rebirth!"
"Nirvana rebirth? Could that egg have been dead before?"
"Possibly!"
"......"
As the two conversed, the flame phoenix within the golden Nirvana Divine Flame spoke: "Damnable human, do you know what crime you've committed?!"
"I spent millions of years bringing the Primordial Phoenix's child back from death to life. Finally, there was life energy, and you dare move him away at this critical moment? Do you know that your actions will make my millions of years of effort come to nothing?"
"It will also make the Primordial Phoenix's child completely perish!"
Nirvana Flame appeared extremely furious. The flame phoenix was transformed from Nirvana Flame's fire spirit.
At this moment, it was frantically crashing against the barrier formed by Cangtian Virtual Flame. Towering waves of fire swept in all directions, causing this space to melt!
Chu Yan was stunned, hurriedly explaining: "I truly didn't do it intentionally!"
When he saw that scene, he thought the Divine Flame was burning the egg, so he didn't think much before collecting it!
He immediately took out that phoenix egg, indeed sensing that the life energy within was gradually dissipating. This made Chu Yan's expression change drastically!
He didn't want to bring back a dead egg for Chu Yunling!
"Human, quickly give the Primordial Phoenix's child to me!"
"If he perishes, I will absolutely fight you to the death!"
Nirvana Divine Flame was born simultaneously with the Primordial Phoenix, renowned as the Phoenix clan's exclusive Divine Flame. Naturally, it held special feelings for the Primordial Phoenix's child!
With no other choice, Chu Yan could only return the phoenix egg.
If kept with him for too long, the life within might truly dissipate.
The golden flames swept up the phoenix egg, placing it back at the center of the magma lake, beginning to burn it as before.
"Human, you've set back my efforts by at least tens of thousands of years!"
The Nirvana Divine Flame's fire spirit sighed. When the Primordial Phoenix was dying, it laid this egg, but unfortunately it was stillborn.
Following the Primordial Phoenix's order, he used his own nirvana power to rebirth the Primordial Phoenix's child. Thus, he had guarded this place for millions of years like a single day.
He never expected that after finally seeing some progress, a human nearly ruined this great undertaking!
