Raging flames rose from the divine palace. Except for the essence sun fire and the other few top-grade divine fires, all kinds of divine fires and spirit fires in the world had gathered in this place. All kinds of flames were almost tangible, burning the space in the divine palace and making it squirm, seeming to collapse at any moment.
The power of fire condensed in this divine palace was way too strong, so strong that every kind of fire had its own intelligence, transforming into all kinds of divine beasts, flying back and forth in the divine palace, or sleeping soundly.
Fire Dragons, Fire Phoenixes, Fire Horses, Fire Snakes, Qilins, Leopards, Ferocious Tigers, Pythons, and all kinds of strange and rare birds and beasts could be found everywhere, and they were all spirits formed from flames, without flesh and blood.
The temperature in the palace was incredibly high. Ji Hao took a deep breath and felt that a stream of heat drilled into his internal organs through his nostrils. The heat waves roared inside his internal organs like an erupting volcano, and was absorbed by his body after quite a while.
Fortunately, Ji Hao was walking on the path of the great Dao of sun. Therefore, every inch of his body was filled with the pure, positive power of fire. If an ordinary human being stood in this palace for a short while, he or she would be melted into molten iron, even if his or her body was forged from metal.
Zhu Rong gave a loud shout, following which, the few fire spirits, who had been chasing each other and playing with each other, obediently stepped aside and cleared a path that led deep into the palace. On the red bronze floor, fist-sized fire lotuses bloomed one after another. Zhu Rong said to Ji Hao, then trod on those lotuses and moved forward quickly.
Ji Hao fixed his eyes on Zhu Rong's feet, daring not to make a wrong step.
Zhu Rong had made it clear that these fire lotuses were also a terrifying magic. With a slight wrong step, an ancient poisonous fire would be released immediately. Unless one was as powerful as Zhu Rong, an ordinary human being would die immediately upon touching the fire lotuses, without even a chance to be saved.
Walking forward for tens of miles along the path paved with fire lotuses, Ji Hao saw a dense purple mist rising in the front while a raging fire reached into the sky. Ninety-nine fire dragons coiled around the fire pillars roared out from the ground. Five-colored spheres of flame flew all over the sky, releasing a terrifyingly great heat that even Ji Hao didn't want to approach.
Ji Hao's skin was scorched by the great heat, and he couldn't help but activate his Gold Crow flame cloak. Spheres of golden flame wrapped around his body, barely managing to fend against the great heat.
Being able to make Ji Hao feel unbearably hot, the temperature of these fire columns must have reached an unimaginable, almost heartless degree.
Ninety-nine fire pillars were arranged in a mysterious formation. Nine fiery dragons coiled around each fire pillar. They opened their mouths and breathed out colorless and transparent flames, forming an invisible fire cage that trapped a water-tank-sized head in midair.
Just like the muscular men imprisoned on the altar outside, this head had a pair of sharp horns on its forehead that looked like those of a buffalo. His appearance was simple and crude. At first glance, he seemed a little ugly, but upon closer inspection, one would find that his face had a rather peculiar charm. The more one looked at it, the more charming it became.
Hearing the footsteps of Zhu Rong and Ji Hao, this head abruptly opened its eyes, showing a pair of bright and watery eyes in front of Ji Hao's eyes. This pair of beautiful eyes formed a strange contrast with the rough face of this head. It was like the head of a stunningly beautiful woman growing on the body of a strong boar!
Seeing Zhu Rong, this head gave a gentle smile and said, "I told you, I don't know those people. Zhu Rong kid, I don't need to lie to a kid like you. What do you think? "
Zhu Rong stood in front of this head, pointed at it and said, "This is Chi You. Or, in other words, he is the first generation of Chi You, the real, the only Chi You. Right now, the commanders of the Chi You Army have only absorbed a drop of his blood essence and obtained a trace of his origin power. "
Ji Hao looked at Zhu Rong in shock. Back in Pan Xi world, he had fought against that Chi You, and Chi You was an extremely terrifying enemy.
However, such a powerful enemy was only created by a drop of Chi You's spirit blood? Then, how powerful was this real Chi You?
"I'm flattered." Chi You continued in a gentle tone, "Although I admit that I am extraordinarily powerful, I was still defeated by your ancestor eventually. And, he tore me into pieces with five horses in such a humiliating way. "
Sighing slightly, Chi You looked at Ji Hao and continued with a trace of grievance, "Tearing me into pieces with five horses, I can accept this kind of torture, because I killed many of your people and slaughtered many of your clans. Therefore, any kind of torture is reasonable."
Pausing for a second, Chi You frowned and continued, "But, what's a little imperfect is that the five dragon horses you chose, they have different strengths, and their movements aren't uniform enough. My body was torn into six pieces, but the lengths of my legs and arms aren't uniform enough, and the wounds aren't perfect either … I've been suggesting you to tear me perfectly again after my body is reconstructed, but why didn't you agree?"
Shaking his head, Chi You continued to murmur to Ji Hao, "For example, you said that my head was cut off by Emperor Xuanyuan himself. But, when he made the move, his sword was a bit crooked, and a piece of my cervical vertebra was cut diagonally. You see, my wounds aren't uniform enough, they're not perfect enough. "
Ji Hao looked at Chi You with a darkened face. Was this guy an obsessive-compulsive disorder patient? He was torn into pieces by five horses, but he still complained that his body wasn't uniform enough?
Was this guy the one who nearly destroyed the allied human army led by Emperor Xuanyuan back in the ancient time, and nearly destroyed the human civilization in Pan Gu world?
"Zhu … Abba!" Ji Hao looked at Zhu Rong and said, "Zhu Rong Family has been suppressing Chi You for generations. What a secret! Why did you bring me here? "
Zhu Rong narrowed his eyes, looked at Chi You, and said in a deep voice, "I have a bad feeling. I feel that something bad is going to happen. Your big brother Tong Gong is at a critical moment, and can't be disturbed. The other few brothers of yours are all guarding outside. Therefore, I brought you here. "
"This is a backup plan." Zhu Rong looked at Ji Hao and said seriously, "It's good that you're fine. If something happens …"
Chi You narrowed his eyes, looked at Zhu Rong, smiled and said, "Even if something happens, what can this kid do to me? I am an eternal-level being, and I have an immortal body. The lives of my seventy-two brothers are connected with mine. If I don't die, they won't die either. "
Chuckling, Chi You asked Zhu Rong mildly, "If something really happens, what can this kid do? Don't tell me he can kill me? "
Sighing slightly, Chi You looked at Zhu Rong, grinned and said, "Do you remember that suggestion I made when you were little? Your Zhu Rong Family suppressed me for generations, but when you suppressed me, didn't you also put yourselves in a cage? "
"Why don't your Zhu Rong Family set me free? When I regain all of my power and conquer this world, I will surely repay you."
