"Congratulations, Brother Chen," Wu Lingkong said sincerely.
Reaching the Late Transcendent Realm Fifth Layer was enough to raise Chen Zong's strength to a whole new level. He estimated that if he were to fight any of the three Golden Astral Sect disciples one on one, he would be able to defeat them.
"I still have to thank Brother Wu." Chen Zong smiled, shaking his arms as his Spirit Qi surged and a tyrannical aura spread out, "If it weren't for the fifty kilograms of Yuan Liquid you gave me, I don't know when I would have been able to break through to this level."
While the two of them were talking, outside the shelter, a powerful shockwave suddenly swept out in all directions. It was unbelievably strong.
The ground was shaking, and the sky was exploding. The wind was like a storm, and it shocked Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong. They turned around and saw a scary fire outside the shelter. It was like a wave, and it was very hot.
Separated by a thousand meters, Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong could feel the heat and their expressions became solemn.
Especially Chen Zong, who had the Purple Cloud True Flame and the True Flame Body Tempering Art, his body's resistance to heat was amazing, but when he felt the heat coming from the outside, Chen Zong knew that if he were to be hit head-on, he would not be able to withstand it.
As the wave of fire spread out, one Blue Evil Ghost after another was engulfed and turned to ashes in an instant, not even having the time to struggle.
The wave of fire swept out hundreds of meters, forming a huge circle and burning fiercely. Within a radius of several hundred meters, all the Evil Ghosts on the battlefield were turned to ashes, not even their bones were left behind. This scene shocked Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong even more.
Immediately, their pupils shrank to the size of needles as they saw a figure appear in the middle of the wave of fire.
Slender and vigorous, with a robe that fluttered in the wind, like a god of fire. Long hair like flames, the figure held a long saber in his right hand, its blade long and narrow, covered in blazing red flames.
When this figure walked out of the range of the wave of fire, the raging flames gradually weakened until they were completely extinguished, leaving behind a scorched black area that covered a radius of several hundred meters.
The evil spirits that were wandering around the battlefield all gathered towards the center and charged forward without fear of death. Their speed was extremely fast, as if they had gone mad.
However, this person's expression was cold and his eyes were indifferent. A wisp of cold light was like cold lightning, and there seemed to be two balls of red flames burning in his eyes.
Raising his hand, brandishing his saber, every movement was extremely clear.
With a loud bang, the red flames on the long saber instantly soared and turned into an astonishing wave that surged out. In an instant, it circled around and engulfed all the evil ghosts on the battlefield, turning them into ashes in an instant.
Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong also felt the fluctuation of the aura emitted by this person.
Seventh Layer Transcendent Realm!
The gap between the Transcendent Realm Fourth Layer and Third Layer was huge, and the gap between the Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer and Sixth Layer was also huge.
However, the methods displayed by that man were simply too terrifying.
Wu Lingkong knew that even if he used his full strength, he would not be able to kill the Evil Spirits as easily as the other party. He felt as if the other party was strolling leisurely in his own backyard, casually and leisurely. Waving his blade was as easy as plucking flowers.
They couldn't be compared at all. They were on two different levels.
"This person is definitely from the Central Territory!" Wu Lingkong whispered, his tone incomparably certain.
Because as far as Wu Lingkong knew, even the most outstanding disciple of the Great Heavenly Thunder Sect was only a late-stage Transcendent Realm Sixth Layer cultivator, and the Great Heavenly Thunder Sect was one of the top forces in the Thirty-six Lower Territories.
In other words, it was impossible for a genius of this level to appear in the Thirty-six Lower Territories, so there was only one explanation, this person came from the Central Territory and was a genius from one of the Central Territory's great forces.
In the Central Territory, five-star forces were common, six-star forces were common, and there were also many seven-star forces. There were even some powerful eight-star forces.
"That kind of power …" Chen Zong's eyes blazed.
Because his powerful Spiritual Sense had reached the Ninth Layer of the Transcendent Realm, Chen Zong's perception was far sharper, allowing him to sense the terrifying power contained in the other party's flames.
One was a kind of World Energy, while the other was a kind of Transcendent Secret Force.
It was a kind of World Energy Flame, and Transcendent Secret Force was also a kind of flame.
"When a World Energy Flame fuses with a Fire-type Transcendent Secret Force, could it be that they mutually enhance each other?" Chen Zong couldn't help thinking, but whether it was true or not, Chen Zong wasn't sure, because although he had the Purple Cloud True Flame, he hadn't comprehended a Fire-type Transcendent Secret Force yet, so he couldn't test it out.
If he wanted to know, he would have to ask the other party, but seeing the other party's strength and the fact that he didn't know him, there was no guarantee that the other party would directly kill him.
Secondly, comprehending a Fire-type Transcendent Secret Force on his own was extremely difficult, especially since Chen Zong had already grasped two types of Transcendent Secret Forces. If he wanted to comprehend a third type, it would be at least ten times more difficult than the second.
Thirdly, if he entered a Great Sect, he might be able to read ancient books or ask the Elders of the Great Sects.
Casually waving his saber, the astonishing red flames burned the Evil Ghost into ashes. This person's footsteps were neither fast nor slow, his body covered in raging red flames as he walked towards the shelter step by step.
Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong's expressions became even more solemn.
[What is this person's temperament?]
Unknown.
In the world of Cultivators, there were all kinds of strange people. Some were indifferent to the outside world, and some were very bloodthirsty. No matter if there was any grudge or not, they would kill if they wanted to.
Even though Chen Zong's cultivation base had broken through and his strength had increased, even though Wu Lingkong's strength was not weak, at this moment, the two of them didn't feel the slightest bit at ease.
"Brother Chen, let's leave." Wu Lingkong said decisively.
The other party's strength was too strong, so tyrannical that even if they worked together, there was no hope of fighting back. If the other party entered the shelter and was safe, that would be the best, but what if not?
Leaving their fate to others to choose?
No!
Wu Lingkong wasn't such a person, and Chen Zong wasn't such a person either.
Hearing Wu Lingkong's words, Chen Zong nodded. Although they would be besieged by the Evil Ghosts on the battlefield if they left now, there were still about four hours before the arrival of day.
If the two of them cooperated well, they should be able to survive, as long as they didn't encounter the Purple Cloud Evil Ghosts.
Another wave of the sword, flames billowed, covering the sky and the ground, burning hundreds and thousands of Blue Cloud Evil Ghosts to ashes again.
Every wave of the sword made Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong's hearts tremble.
Approaching!
An invisible pressure came.
Suddenly, just when the other party was a hundred meters away from the shelter, just as Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong were about to leave the shelter, the person's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he quickly turned his head to look to the side, the light in his eyes burning like a raging flame.
As if he had found a prey, he took a step forward. In the roar, the person turned into a blazing flame, like a flame sweeping across the ground, and quickly rushed to kill. With the long sword in hand, no Evil Ghost could resist.
The other party's action made Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong puzzled, and at the same time, they stopped retreating.
Looking in the direction of the person, it was a road paved with flames, constantly spreading forward, and at the end, a faint purple light could be seen.
"Could it be a Purple Cloud Evil Ghost?" Chen Zong couldn't help guessing.
This person's cultivation was at the Transcendent Realm Seventh Layer, and his strength was terrifying. If he had found a Purple Cloud Evil Ghost, he wouldn't have been afraid to hide and would instead hunt it down as prey.
After all, killing a Purple Cloud Evil Ghost would give him a Purple Cloud Soul Crystal.
Indeed, this person had found a Purple Cloud Evil Ghost and chased after it, resulting in a fierce battle with it.
The Purple Cloud Soul Crystal was very attractive to him, but at the same time, the Purple Cloud Evil Ghost was also very interested in his soul, so the battle was very intense.
The battle between the human and the Evil Ghost became more and more intense, and no other Evil Ghost could get close within 1,000 meters. This was because the shockwaves were simply too terrifying, and anyone who came within 1,000 meters of them would be destroyed.
The Central Territory genius' flames were so powerful that even the Blue Cloud Evil Ghost couldn't resist them, and the Purple Cloud Evil Ghost could also kill it.
This battle lasted for nearly an hour before it ended, and in the end, the Central Territory genius killed the Purple Cloud Evil Ghost and obtained a Purple Cloud Soul Crystal.
After killing the Purple Cloud Evil Ghost, the man turned around and quickly returned to the shelter.
"Let's go," Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong said in unison, leaving the shelter in the opposite direction without hesitation.
In another two hours or so, the curtain of night would pass away and day would arrive. At that time, they would be safe.
The Central Territory genius also saw Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong leaving the shelter, but he didn't pay them any attention and directly stepped into the shelter to rest; after all, the battle with the Purple Cloud Evil Ghost had consumed almost all of his strength.
As soon as they left the shelter, Chen Zong and Wu Lingkong were besieged by the Blue Cloud Evil Ghost, but the two of them weren't weak, so facing the Blue Cloud Evil Ghost was a piece of cake.
The two of them didn't plan to kill the Blue Cloud Evil Ghost, they only needed to repel it, so they could save their own strength and survive the next hour without a problem, provided that they didn't encounter the Purple Cloud Evil Ghost.
Otherwise, even the weakest Purple Cloud Evil Ghost was a Seventh Layer Transcendent Realm cultivator.
However, one Purple Cloud Evil Ghost had already appeared, so there shouldn't be a second one.
Sure enough, after an hour, the two of them really didn't encounter any Purple Cloud Evil Ghosts, but they did encounter two Scarlet Evil Ghosts, both of which were killed by Chen Zong.
This was because Wu Lingkong didn't have any World Energy.
World Energy was very precious, and Chen Zong being able to obtain it was largely due to luck.
Since the two Scarlet Evil Ghosts were killed by Chen Zong, the two Scarlet Soul Crystals naturally belonged to Chen Zong. Originally, Chen Zong planned to give one to Wu Lingkong, but Wu Lingkong resolutely refused.
As day arrived, the Evil Ghosts scattered one after another, and the Ghost Fire sunk into the ground, falling silent.
The two of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief, immediately laughing heartily.
Chen Zong consumed twenty-five kilograms of Yuan Liquid, raising his cultivation from the late Fourth Layer Transcendent Realm to the late Fifth Layer Transcendent Realm. As for Wu Lingkong, he originally planned to refine the other twenty-five kilograms of Yuan Liquid, but unfortunately, a powerful Central Territory genius had appeared, so Wu Lingkong didn't dare refine it.
"Brother Wu, do you want to take this opportunity to refine the Yuan Liquid? I'll stand guard for you," Chen Zong said. If Wu Lingkong refined the Yuan Liquid, his cultivation would improve further and his strength would also increase.
"Alright." Wu Lingkong didn't refuse, immediately sitting down and swallowing the Yuan Liquid while Chen Zong stood to the side, standing guard while comprehending the Azure Cloud Shatter.
