Half a month later, Xiao Chen met with an invisible resistance in the clouds.
The gravity multiplied, and the Cycle Throne felt heavy pressure, making flying exceptionally difficult.
"I've arrived?"
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and looked down. Dust filled the air, obscuring everything; he could not see clearly.
The Dragon Flame Ancient Land still had an ancient, savage aura. The space there was different from that of the outside world.
Although Xiao Chen could not see clearly, he guessed that he had arrived.
Xiao Chen leaped into the air and jumped off the throne. When he landed, the throne turned into a beam of black light that attached to his clothes.
Everywhere Xiao Chen looked was desolate. The ground was dry and cracked; not even a blade of grass could be seen.
Hot, dry, and lonely.
An ancient, savage aura lingered in the air, giving Xiao Chen a deep sense of familiarity.
This was the Dragon Flame Ancient Land.
It did not seem to feel any threat at all.
"Let's go to Dragon Flame City first!"
The Dragon Flame Ancient Land was vast, occupying nearly one-third of the Soaring Dragon Great Realm. More than seventy percent of it had yet to be fully explored.
Dragon Flame City was the only city in the entire Dragon Flame Ancient Land.
Maintaining some caution, Xiao Chen carefully set off.
After about seven minutes, Xiao Chen took out a bottle of water and drank it. He discovered that the drain on his body here was far greater than in the outside world.
One should not underestimate this. Cultivators were not immortals who did not eat or drink. It was just that the drain was smaller.
If one did not come out of closed-door cultivation, they would last at most half a year.
If one stayed any longer, one would need to replenish themselves with food and water unless one was a Divine Vein powerhouse that surpassed the Cloud Sea Realm.
"It looks like the environment of your Dragon Flame Ancient Land is indeed somewhat terrible. You made yourself look like an ordinary person."
Holding the Tyrant Saber in his hand, Xiao Chen casually chose a direction and walked over.
After taking only a few steps, Xiao Chen saw a charred corpse in an exceptionally miserable state.
With a gentle touch of the scabbard, the corpse turned to ashes.
It was not as simple as being charred. The corpse's entire source of life had been drained.
"Flame Demon."
Xiao Chen spat out two words indifferently.
One of the threats to survival in the Dragon Flame Ancient Land was a ferocious beast that lived here, the Flame Demon.
To be precise, Flame Demons were a type of Fiendish Demons. The conditions for their birth were rather harsh. They were much more terrifying than ordinary Fiendish Demons. They were also one of the Fiendish Demon Eagles that were still active in the Great Thousand Realms.
However, once they left the special environment, the threat of the Flame Devils would be greatly reduced.
A true major power would not intentionally seek out the Flame Devil's Mo Fan.
It was impossible to kill them all. As long as the Dragon Flame Ancient Land existed, more Flame Demons would be born, never ending.
"The corpse was still so well preserved earlier. This means that the Flame Demon did not go far."
Xiao Chen pondered for a moment before deciding to meet this Flame Devil.
The Heavenly Eye on Xiao Chen's forehead immediately turned into a beam of light and flew out, searching the surroundings.
Not long after, he finally found some clues.
At the foot of a hill far away from him, a man and a woman were fighting a Flame Demon.
The two were both Major Primal Core Venerates. However, they found it very taxing to face a Flame Demon of the same cultivation realm.
There were many charred corpses around them. It was a ghastly sight.
"Strange. That charred corpse seems to be only a Minor Primal Core cultivator. Its remaining strength is not very strong, not even a Great Desolate Eon bloodline."
Xiao Chen did not understand why these people took the risk to enter the Dragon Flame Ancient Land.
Xiao Chen stopped thinking about this for now and focused his gaze on the Flame Demon.
The Flame Demon looked no different from a human. One could only make out its aura and attack methods.
The Flame Demon's evil aura could not be faked. The white flame twirling around its hand was close to blue, inspiring fear in the two cultivators.
Even if the Flame Demons had the same cultivation, there were differences in strength.
The white Flame Demons were low-rank Flame Demons. The blue Flame Demons were middle-rank Flame Demons. As for the red Flame Demons, they were high-rank Flame Demons that no one wanted to meet.
The color did not represent strength but a kind of aptitude, similar to the grade of a human's bloodline.
Of the same strength, one blue Flame Demon could easily kill ten white Flame Demons.
The flame that this Flame Demon gave off was already close to blue. This meant that its aptitude was already very high.
It was close to middle-rank Flame Demons.
Xiao Chen withdrew his Heavenly Eye. With a few flashes, he arrived near the man and the woman.
"Big Brother, someone is coming."
The male cultivator looked at Xiao Chen and immediately frowned slightly. "A Minor Primal Core Venerate. It's useless. He really came at the wrong time. He was just delivering resources, and he actually ran into a peak low-rank Flame Demon. "
Upon seeing Xiao Chen appear, that Flame Demon abandoned the two and directly launched itself at Xiao Chen.
Perhaps it discovered that Xiao Chen's cultivation was relatively low, that Flame Demon grinned and launched itself at Xiao Chen.
That man and woman immediately took the opportunity to flee without even turning their heads back.
"Human, taste the feeling of being burned!"
The Flame Demon cackled strangely. A scorching aura surged over, making it feel like its hair would burn.
"Whoosh!"
A saber light flashed. Before the Flame Demon could see its arm clearly, Xiao Chen chopped it off.
A miserable shriek rang out, and the Flame Demon's severed arm spat out a terrifying flame.
The Flame Demon held its wound with its left hand and looked at Xiao Chen in horror. Then, it turned into a clump of flames and merged into the ground, fleeing into the distance.
The vertical eye on Xiao Chen's forehead opened, and the Heavenly Eye clearly saw a clump of black shadows fleeing to the north.
Xiao Chen closed his vertical eye and waited for that black shadow to flee far away before giving chase.
As for that man and woman from earlier, Xiao Chen could not be bothered with whether they lived or died.
That was a group of fugitives. They transported resources from the outside world to Dragon Flame City, earning dozens of times the price difference.
Of course, they might also run into a Flame Demon and die.
Xiao Chen gave chase unhurriedly, hiding his aura and cautiously giving chase.
Flame Demons were Fiendish Demons that lived in groups. Xiao Chen wanted to see if this Flame Demon would return to its tribe.
If it could bring him over, he would not mind barging into a Flame Demon tribe.
Flame Demon tribes were formed by gathering fire.
A gathering place definitely had a strong flame, which was what Xiao Chen needed.
Before coming, Xiao Chen had already thought of such a plan.
Half a day later, the sky turned dark. Suddenly, the Flame Demon that Xiao Chen had been following suddenly disappeared.
"Whoosh!
Whoosh! Whoosh! "After a long time, Xiao Chen appeared from the darkness and landed at the place where the Flame Demon last disappeared.
Could the Flame Demon tribe be underground?
Xiao Chen did not have the ability of a Flame Demon to burrow into the ground.
However, Xiao Chen had chased them all the way here after much difficulty. It was impossible for him to give up.
Propping up his chin with his right hand, Xiao Chen thought for a while. Then, he ferociously punched the ground.
Silently, the dust that had turned into powder flew out. After a while, a hole appeared in the ground.
Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he entered the hole.
As he descended, Xiao Chen discovered that the underground was as he expected. It was not completely sealed. Instead, there were many intersecting caves, looking as complicated as a maze.
Xiao Chen followed the source of the heat waves and carefully walked through them.
One hour later, Xiao Chen finally felt the surging heat waves and the auras of many Flame Demons in this complicated cave.
"So, it really was hidden here."
A brilliant light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. After thinking for a while, he quickly moved over.
Xiao Chen's body moved through the cave with incredible agility.
He looked around and discovered that the one-armed Flame Demon that he injured was heading for one of the caves.
Xiao Chen's lips curled up in a smile. He stuck close to the ceiling of the cave, looking like a lizard as he quickly followed.
Xiao Chen saw that one-armed Flame Demon stop at one of the caves. After chatting with the two Flame Demons guarding it, he walked in with large strides.
Right after the other party entered, Xiao Chen's figure flashed, and he quickly descended.
Xiao Chen attacked at lightning speed. The Heavenly Snow Divine Flame instantly sealed the Flame Demon on the left in ice. Then, he stabbed his other arm into the chest of the Flame Demon on the right. When he pulled it out, a white Flame Crystal appeared in his palm.
The Flame Crystal was the Life Core of the Flame Demon. Once it was lost, it would die immediately.
Before the two Flame Demons could say anything, Xiao Chen silently killed them.
Xiao Chen calmly walked in, continuing to follow the one-armed Flame Demon quietly without the one-armed Flame Demon leading the way. Without the one-armed Flame Demon leading the way, Xiao Chen would not be able to find this complicated cave.
There were Flame Demons guarding the main camp of the Flame Demon tribe at regular intervals.
However, Xiao Chen attacked at lightning speed every time. Almost right after the one-armed Flame Demon left, Xiao Chen would immediately kill the Flame Demons that the one-armed Flame Demon talked to.
Along the way, Xiao Chen already had close to fifty white Flame Crystals in his hand.
Suddenly, the one-armed Flame Demon in front seemed to sense that something was wrong, so it quickly turned its head.
However, it did not see anything. The instant the one-armed Flame Demon turned its head, Xiao Chen already sensed it, and his body silently floated above the cave.
After the other party left, Xiao Chen landed.
He followed the other party in the shadows, neither far nor slow.
Behind Xiao Chen were all dead Flame Demons, either sealed in ice or turned to ashes.
Relying on his skill and boldness, as well as his cool-headedness, Xiao Chen did something that seemed crazy.
He entered the depths of the Flame Demon tribe alone.
Finally, that one-armed Flame Demon arrived at an exceptionally vast cave.
A clump of scarlet flame burned fiercely in the center, flickering with a strange light and giving off surging heatwaves.
A blue-haired Flame Demon with a gloomy gaze sat on a stone throne at the end of the cave.
Several Flame Demons stood in other places, the weakest of them Major Primal Core Realm cultivators.
These Flame Demons had expressions of enjoyment as they absorbed the heat from the scarlet flame.
It was clear that only the strong or talented Flame Demons were qualified to enter this place.
Xiao Chen stood outside, watching from afar, his gaze landing on that scarlet flame.
Xiao Chen could not recognize the flame seed. However, he could sense that it was a Yang-attributed flame no weaker than the Dazzling Sunlight True Flame.
Furthermore, it was even older, at least a thousand years old. The fire-attributed energy it contained was rather significant.
"Yan Feng! How did you get injured? Tell the truth. "
The blue-haired Flame Demon on the stone throne said with an unhappy expression as he looked at the one-armed Flame Demon.
"Tribe Chief, I was injured by a white-clad bladesman. He chopped off my arm with one saber strike. He was so fast that I could not see clearly."
Thinking back to that scene, this one-armed Flame Demon could not help trembling.
"Fool! All the tribes have issued strict orders not to offend any humans carrying a saber. Didn't I tell you that? "
The blue-haired Flame Demon scolded loudly.
"This subordinate saw that his cultivation was rather low and was somewhat careless. This subordinate deserves death."
The one-armed Flame Demon immediately knelt on the ground in fright.
"Humph! You are not allowed to enter the Holy Flame Cave for one month. You can use the Holy Flame to treat your injuries only after one month."
"This subordinate understands."
The one-armed Flame Demon did not dare to rebut. It looked greedily at the blazing scarlet flame before turning to leave.
The blue-haired Flame Demon was just halfway there when he suddenly startled awake. "You trash! Someone chopped off your arm with one saber strike. How did you manage to return alive?!"
"Whoosh!"
Right after the blue-haired Flame Demon spoke, the gazes of all the Flame Demons in the Holy Flame Cave turned cold as they uniformly looked at the one-armed Flame Demon.
"Speak! How did you return?!"
