Chapter 2235 - 2217: Wait!
"Sisters, let’s go inside where the icy aura is dense," Ding Wan’er called to the other women, urging them to move forward, but she didn’t move herself. Instead, she looked at Lin Feng and instructed, "Don’t worry about us here, just be careful yourself."
"Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me. Contact me when you’ve all reached the Human Immortal Realm Peak, and I’ll come back to find you," Lin Feng said to Ding Wan’er with utmost tenderness. Although he really didn’t want to part from Ding Wan’er and the others, he genuinely had no time now, so he had no choice.
After hearing Lin Feng’s words, Ding Wan’er nodded seriously, then directly called the women to head deeper into the Sky Cold Cave. Although this place was forbidden for others, for them, the environment was most suitable for cultivation, so Lin Feng didn’t need to worry much about them.
Watching Ding Wan’er leading the women inside, a trace of tenderness flashed in Lin Feng’s eyes. He immediately turned and left with Xia Lalan and Moyan. When he reached the cave entrance, he began setting up a formation, layering seven formations ensuring no one could enter from the outside. After securing Xia Lalan and Moyan inside the Cave Heaven Mansion, he disappeared from the spot...
Outside a city of flames stretching over a thousand miles, Lin Feng looked at the Skyfire City in front of him, marveling at the wonders of the world. Such a city, burning for an unknown period, still existed! If he hadn’t seen it himself, he wouldn’t have believed it!
It’s known that there were no living creatures around the Skyfire City. From afar, besides the blazing flames, there was nothing different about it. Strangely, none of the buildings within the city were damaged by the high temperatures!
But these flames weren’t enough to stop him. He came here because he believed there might be a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire within Skyfire City. If not for this strange fire, the Skyfire City couldn’t have been in such a state. Another thing: his Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate this place, likely due to those flames.
With a thought, the Fire Spirit Xiao Huo darted out from his body, immediately noticing the Skyfire City and gasping, "How is this possible, how could this be happening!"
"What’s wrong?" Lin Feng asked Xiao Huo, confused about its reaction.
"The Fire Element here is incredibly dense, condensed in a way that normally wouldn’t result in such flames!" Xiao Huo responded without looking at Lin Feng, its eyes fixated on the distant Skyfire City, truly shocked by the peculiar flames.
"So, does that mean there’s a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire here?" Lin Feng asked Xiao Huo mildly. He came for the strange fire and wouldn’t waste time if it wasn’t present.
"It’s not just possible; it’s certain there’s a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire here. Judging by its level, if I hadn’t evolved a few times, I wouldn’t be its match. I even suspect that this strange fire has developed a Fire Spirit similar to me, and that would be a big problem!" Xiao Huo answered gravely. Faced with such a strange fire, it wasn’t confident, fearing the strange fire might have developed a Fire Spirit, making capturing it nearly impossible.
Hearing this, Lin Feng finally understood why the Skyfire City had remained untouched and why no one dared target it. If not unexpected, a Fire Spirit had indeed formed here. He wore a serious expression, fully aware of the difference between a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire with a Fire Spirit and one without.
"I’ll handle it this time; you assist me. Once we subdue it, you can integrate with it," Lin Feng spoke calmly to Xiao Huo. Faced with such an extraordinary strange fire, Xiao Huo wasn’t strong enough to handle it, so Lin Feng decided he should take it on, unwilling to miss such an opportunity.
"Be careful, master. From what I sense, this strange fire here is quite unusual, possibly even comparable to the fused Eternal Divine Flame. If we can capture this strange fire, the Eternal Divine Flame will evolve to a terrifying level," Xiao Huo added, eager for Lin Feng to capture the fire, knowing the benefits of merging such a potent fire with the Eternal Divine Flame.
"Rest assured, I won’t take it lightly," Lin Feng replied coolly. Faced with such an extraordinary Heaven and Earth Strange Fire, he couldn’t afford carelessness—that would be suicidal!
After saying this, Lin Feng sat down and began refining elixirs. He never fought battles unprepared, wanting to ensure thorough preparations before attempting to capture the strange fire in Skyfire City.
A pitch-black medicinal cauldron appeared as Xiao Huo assisted from the side. The process was smooth, and within just a few hours, Lin Feng had successfully refined two necessary elixirs: a Heavenly Grade Level Two Elixir for enhancing fire resistance, the Body Sculpting Melting Fire Pill, and a Heavenly Grade Level One Elixir to keep the mind alert, the Nine Splendors Clear Heart Pill.
Having prepared everything, Xiao Huo reentered Lin Feng’s body, while flames flared red on Lin Feng’s figure. Like a fire deity, he walked step by step into the Skyfire City!
Entering Skyfire City, Lin Feng immediately sensed its oddity. While flames raged everywhere, many things in the city remained intact, even the roofs of wooden houses merely charred black, an especially eerie sight!
Could it be the strange fire only affects living beings?
Lin Feng pondered this as he started examining everything within the city. In almost every house, items were charred from the heat but not ignited, with not a single person or even bones present!
Seeing this, Lin Feng felt a cautious flicker within his heart, realizing this strange fire was extraordinary, able to control flames to such an extent. But this merely prompted him to be more careful; it wouldn’t make him leave.
Eyes fixed on the city’s center, a faint smile appeared on his lips as he strode toward it.
Throughout his approach, his Divine Sense continuously monitored his surroundings, while his body attuned itself to the changes in the surrounding flames. The closer he got to the city center, the stronger the flames grew. Approaching the center, he felt as if his blood was about to boil, something he’d never experienced before!
As expected, these flames are peculiar!
Realizing this, Lin Feng understood the strange fire’s primary function was enhancing the activity of biological tissues, essentially triggering cellular self-combustion. Capturing such a unique flame would be a miracle for any other cultivator.
Yet, for Lin Feng, it was an uncertainty whether he could capture the strange fire. But he was luckier than other cultivators, for Xiao Huo protected him. Simply relying on this strange fire couldn’t force him out.
The rest of the journey, Lin Feng proceeded more cautiously, calling Xiao Huo out to reduce the pressure on him. Not that he was struggling, but he wanted to preserve strength for the encounter with the Heaven and Earth Strange Fire.
About an hour later, Lin Feng finally reached the city’s center, where a massive meteorite crater, roughly two to three miles around, lay. A Flame Giant Dragon resembling a dragon in shape was resting here, seemingly asleep...
How could this be!
Seeing this, both Lin Feng and Xiao Huo were stunned, never expecting this outcome. There wasn’t a strange fire here but a Flame Dragon sleeping. How had the world not known of this? Hadn’t past strong cultivators encountered this Flame Dragon?
While Lin Feng was pondering this, an ancient voice resonated within his mind, "Young one, I acknowledge you’re extraordinary, a person of great creation. Leave swiftly, as if you’ve never seen me."
Realizing the voice came from the Flame Dragon, Lin Feng immediately bowed to it, saying, "Junior Lin Feng, mistaking this place for the emergence of a Heaven and Earth Strange Fire, came exploring. I apologize for disturbing your rest, elder, and hope for your forgiveness!"
After saying this, he prepared to turn and leave. Such a Flame Dragon, not even ten of him could withstand, and he wasn’t foolish enough to attempt dragon-slaying. His master’s ancient book recorded Heavenly Immortal Realm experts attempting it, but even with significant losses, they never captured a single Blue Dragon, showcasing their power!
But before Lin Feng could leave, the ancient voice called out again in his mind, "Wait!"
Lin Feng stopped at the words, still unsure why the Flame Dragon halted him. As he pondered, a wisp of flame from the dragon encircled him, transforming into a fiery figure filled with anger, "Why do you have the aura of a Dragon Soul on you, speak!"
After shouting, the space seemed to quiver under the fiery figure’s aura, instantly causing the crater, originally a few miles wide, to more than double in size, a testament to its ire.
