"Die!"
Chen Nan roared furiously.
He had been struggling to vent and suppress the flames within him.
Now, the enemy had tracked him down.
He certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity.
"A person?"
The middle-aged man's eyes flickered with disbelief.
He seemed surprised that Chen Nan was engulfed in flames.
He then extended a palm.
A powerful energy, carrying the force of a mountain collapsing, surged towards Chen Nan.
But the moment it touched him...
It vanished instantly.
"Hiss!"
"How could this be?"
Everyone at the cave entrance gasped in unison.
They recognized Chen Nan.
But they couldn't believe it.
A junior at the first level of the Soul Gathering realm.
Could actually withstand the attack of a peak Soul Devouring realm expert.
The middle-aged man who had attacked earlier, his face contorted with ferocity, said, "I refuse to believe you can withstand my attack!"
As he spoke.
A long sword appeared in his hand.
It flashed like a startled swan, lunging towards Chen Nan.
"Good, good, wonderfully good!" Chen Nan's eyes turned fiery red. He charged at the opponent with bare hands.
"Die!" the middle-aged man roared, his sword slicing through the air.
The sword light flickered.
The blade directly embedded itself in Chen Nan's neck.
"Is that all?"
"Is that all?"
"Is that all?"
"Did you not eat breakfast?" Chen Nan's angry voice rang out, tinged with disappointment.
"What?"
At that moment.
Everyone's pupils constricted.
Although the underground temperature was scorching hot.
A chill ran down everyone's spines.
He was merely a cultivator of the Soul Gathering realm.
Yet, he could withstand the furious strike of a Soul Devouring realm expert.
The sword was embedded in his neck.
Yet, it hadn't severed his head?
Unreasonable!
Completely unreasonable!
"So hot!"
The middle-aged man, as if he had seen a ghost, abandoned his sword and fled.
Everyone looked at Chen Nan.
They saw the steel sword embedded in his neck.
For some unknown reason, it had melted.
A tidal wave of shock surged through everyone.
They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
"Quick, escape this place."
The middle-aged man made a swift decision and flew towards the surface.
This place was close to the earth's core magma.
In his opinion, Chen Nan's terrifying strength was likely related to the environment here.
If they retreated from this place, they might be able to kill him.
Hundreds of people headed for the surface.
"Where do you think you're going?"
Chen Nan's eyes blazed.
He had finally found a group to vent his anger on.
He absolutely wouldn't let them escape.
He was like a rocket shooting into the sky.
Burning with a long fiery tail.
He appeared outside with lightning speed.
It was night.
His emergence was like a radiant sun, its flames illuminating this small world.
It also illuminated the shocked faces of the cultivators below.
Chen Nan floated in the night sky like a god of fire.
Exuding a wild aura from his entire being.
"Thank you."
"As a token of my gratitude."
"I shall now send you to your deaths!"
Chen Nan swung his arm.
Buzz!
With a humming sound.
Centering on him.
The surrounding thousand meters instantly transformed into a sea of fire.
It not only ignited the vegetation in the area.
But even the stones and soil began to slowly melt.
"Run!"
"Quick, quick!"
The cultivators were filled with terror, their eyes brimming with deep fear.
They had never witnessed such a breathtaking display of power.
This kind of power was comparable to that of deities.
It was certainly not something a human could possess.
Fortunately, they were cultivators and had Yin energy protecting them.
If it were ordinary people.
They would instantly turn into cooked meat.
Even if many of them didn't know each other before.
They would become acquaintances.
Acquaintances who had been cooked.
However.
Even though they were cultivators.
And even with Yin energy protecting them.
Under the terrifying high temperature.
They couldn't last long.
But.
They had underestimated the power of the flames.
Some, as soon as they released their protective Yin energy, let out a heart-wrenching scream.
Without undergoing the process of being cooked.
They burst into flames.
Instantly turning to ashes and disappearing into the heavens and earth.
The cultivators of the Soul Gathering realm couldn't withstand the terrifying heat.
They perished one after another.
"Roar!"
The Tianting also arrived on the ground.
Although the flames were terrifyingly hot.
They couldn't affect it.
Its eyes glowed fiercely.
It seemed to blame Chen Nan for burning these people to death directly.
He should have saved them for its meal.
At the same time.
It also felt a sense of displeasure towards Chen Nan.
When they weren't close, the guy kept calling it "Brother Hu."
And even prepared dinner and extra meals for it.
But now.
After becoming familiar.
Not a single bite was offered.
"I may not be human, but you are truly a dog in your dealings."
------
Seeing their disciples being incinerated one after another.
The six peak Soul Devouring realm experts were grief-stricken.
They couldn't accept their disciples dying in such a manner.
Without hesitation.
Those at the Transformation realm and Soul Devouring realm experts.
All transformed into eagles and great condors, soaring into the sky.
Attempting to escape.
After all, the ground had turned into a surging sea of fire.
Even if they stayed on the ground for long.
They would be burned alive.
Chen Nan grabbed at the depths of the void with his bare hands: "Net of Heaven, appear!"
Buzz!
A point of light erupted from the depths of the void.
Following that.
A net, which humans called a "killer net," materialized out of thin air.
It then resembled a...
Enveloping everyone.
No matter how they flew in all directions, they couldn't escape this domain.
For a time.
The surviving fifty to sixty experts above the Transformation realm scattered like headless flies.
"No, we can't get out like this," an eagle spoke, its tone grave.
Another person said, "We must join forces and kill this brat."
"Indeed, only by joining forces to kill him can we survive."
At this moment, an ancient voice rang out: "It's not necessary to kill him. Look at this brat's state."
"Although I don't know why he can control such terrifying flames, one thing is obvious: he is being backlashed by this terrifying flame."
"As long as we can disrupt his state of mind, we can make him burn himself to death!"
No sooner said than done.
Those Soul Devouring realm experts reverted to their human forms.
Standing on the flying beasts transformed by the Transformation realm experts, they suspended themselves in the air.
Then, they controlled their long swords and thrust them towards Chen Nan from all directions.
The Tianting sat on the ground, reaching out a paw to stroke its head.
Indeed.
These people were quite clever.
They wanted to disrupt Chen Nan's state of mind and make him self-immolate.
But...
His state of mind was already chaotic!
If you hadn't attacked.
He would have had nowhere to vent.
And there was a high probability that he would have burned to death.
But once you attack him...
The energy accumulated within him would surely be released.
Are you trying to kill him?
Heh!
A bunch of unlucky kids!
You are saving him!
