Tsk, tsk, tsk … I knew things wouldn't be so simple. Now, there were big implications. No wonder Second Palace Lord Chujiang and Tenth Palace Lord Chakravarti King were against Du Feng from the start. It turned out that there was such a connection. It seemed like the Xiao Family had long received news that Du Feng was going to accompany Kenji into the Chaos Zone. That was why they had arranged for Xiao Yuan, Xiao Hong, and Little Purple to wait ahead.
All of this seemed like a coincidence, but it was all part of the plan. Du Feng braced himself and summoned the Porcelain Bone Armor. Although the damage to the armor hadn't fully recovered, he had to be careful in this situation. After all, his life was more important.
"Alright, come with me if you can."
Du Feng's tone changed. He didn't fight Xiao Jingshan to the death, but told him to follow him. What was going on? Sword Two was dumbfounded as he watched from the side.
"Hmph, at least you know what's good for you."
Xiao Jingshan thought that Du Feng was really afraid of him and wanted to bring him into the Furnace of Hellfire to search for treasures. In any case, he had to find the treasures first. It wouldn't be too late to kill Du Feng after he got the items.
Just like that, Du Feng led the way, and Xiao Jingshan followed behind. The two flew deeper into the Furnace of Hellfire. Kenji thought for a moment and followed. He had a hard time following. As a pure sword cultivator, he didn't know any elemental spells. He didn't know any cold spells that could lower the temperature or fire spells that could adapt to heat. He relied on his rapidly spinning sword light to withstand the raging flames.
Du Feng descended at a steady pace. His entire body was covered in flames, and he looked like a man on fire. He even put away the Riding Dragon Sword. Did he really not want to resist anymore? Actually, he was using the Star Fire and Phoenix Undying Fire to convert and absorb fire elemental energy.
He had just broken through to the Ultimate Emperor Realm and wasn't very stable yet. He could use this opportunity to consolidate his Cultivation. To Du Feng, this descent was a good opportunity to consolidate his Cultivation and adjust his condition. However, it wasn't a good thing for Xiao Jingshan.
Firstly, there was a time limit to the effects of the Longevity Reduction Pill. If he wasted too much time, his Pseudo Deva Realm state would disappear, and he would not have the confidence to defeat Du Feng. Furthermore, the intense heat of the Hellfire Crucible was very taxing on him.
The higher the temperature of the Hellfire Crucible, the more elemental fire it contained. As time went by, Du Feng's condition became better and better. On the other hand, Xiao Jingshan was consuming more and more energy.
"Why isn't he here yet? Don't try to play tricks."
Xiao Jingshan finally lost his patience. If it wasn't for the treasure, he would have already attacked Du Feng. The Hellfire Crucible was far more difficult to find than he had imagined. While descending, he did not see any entrance, nor did he see a treasure similar to the Riding Dragon Sword.
Du Feng laughed in his heart. In fact, he didn't know where the entrance to the treasure cave was. That was because the Riding Dragon Sword was not the treasure of this place. The ancient bronze cauldron was the treasure of this place. But he hadn't found it. It had floated up on its own.
"Don't worry. It's not far up ahead."
Du Feng shrugged and spread his hands, putting on an innocent expression. He was trying to say that he had nothing to complain about even when he was leading him to the treasure. What was there to complain about?
Xiao Jingshan felt embarrassed by Du Feng's teasing. He didn't dare completely fall out with Du Feng just yet. If he did, it would be very difficult to find the treasure. The Xiao Clan's original plan had been to have Little Violet enter the Hellfire Crucible in her beast form. Now that Little Violet had been beaten half to death, all of their plans had been thrown into disarray. Xiao Jingshan could only rely on Du Feng to lead the way.
The temperature of the Hellfire Crucible continued to rise. Even Du Feng, who had broken through to the Ultimate Emperor Cultivation stage, was unable to completely convert the elemental fire. He had no choice but to convert a portion of it, and then defend against the rest, lest he burn himself.
Defending against the invasion of the flames consumed elemental energy. That was why he could absorb a portion and then use the rest. It wasn't very strenuous. Xiao Jingshan, on the other hand, was finding it hard to endure even in his Pseudo Diviner state. He repeatedly wiped the sweat off his forehead with his sleeves.
Actually, at such high temperatures, the sweat evaporated as soon as it came out. This action of his was completely unnecessary. However, when people felt uncomfortable from the heat, they liked to wipe their sweat off.
"Hmph, I don't believe you won't die from the heat."
Du Feng laughed inwardly. This was exactly the effect he wanted. If they had fought just now, it would have been dangerous for him to fight Xiao Jingshan, who was a Pseudo Diviner. Thus, he rolled his eyes and came up with such a rotten idea.
The greedy Xiao Jingshan had fallen for it. He was willing to sacrifice his own children for the sake of the treasure. How could he give up on a chance to find the treasure? Considering that he wouldn't be able to subdue Du Feng in a short amount of time, he was afraid that Du Feng would fly into a rage and fight to the death. As a result, he had followed him in a daze.
"When are we going to arrive? Didn't you say we weren't far?"
When it was hot, a person's temper would also become violent, and their minds wouldn't be too clear. Xiao Jingshan could feel that the medicinal power of the Longevity Reduction Pill was weakening. He wouldn't be able to maintain his Pseudo Diviner state for much longer. At this moment, Kenji couldn't keep up.
No matter how ferocious his sword was, there was a limit to how much he could endure. Moreover, he had to protect Little Violet along the way. He decided to stop and wait for Du Feng and the others along the way.
"We'll be there soon. We'll be there soon. I'll find the treasure nearby."
Du Feng knew that Xiao Jingshan had run out of patience. He would definitely turn hostile before his Pseudo Diviner state disappeared. Because no matter how greedy he was, he wouldn't joke around with his life.
"Look, what's that!"
Suddenly, Du Feng seemed to have found some treasure and pointed ahead for Xiao Jingshan to see.
Xiao Jingshan, who had been anticipating for a long time, thought that he had found something good. He looked in the direction Du Feng was pointing. Suddenly, a black shadow smashed towards him. Du Feng was really willing to use the ancient bronze cauldron to smash Xiao Jingshan.
"Damn it!"
Xiao Jingshan knew that he had been tricked. He struck out with his palm toward the black shadow. He felt that with his Pseudo Diviner state strength, he could definitely smash anything.
"Bang!"
The power of Xiao Jingshan's palms was not small. It made a loud sound when it hit the ancient bronze cauldron. However, the situation was different from what he had imagined. The ancient bronze cauldron didn't break. Not only did it not break, but its momentum didn't decrease. It hit his chest hard.
"Hahaha …"
