I picked up skill fragments in the demon world.

Chapter 482 Burning mountains and boiling seas
"Seven days? That's enough!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself. It was enough for him to complete the final work in the north.

He wanted to collect the colored fire in the Bagua furnace, and also return to Huangli Temple to see if there was any other fortune in Huangli Temple.

"It's just a water monster, nothing to be afraid of!" Zhang Chen has the skill of taming beasts, so of course he doesn't take the water monster seriously: "By the way, why don't you see Cheng Yu?"

"Cheng Yu is currently practicing in seclusion, and is about to enter the realm of driving objects. This girl's talent is truly rare, even better than mine." Xie Lingyun showed a hint of amazement when he mentioned Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu’s talent really surprised her.

"I intend to take that girl as my disciple. What do you think?" Xie Xuan asked.

Zhang Chen looked at Xie Xuan, then shook his head: "I have already paved the way for her in Chengyu, so please don't bother Chief Xie to worry about her. The affairs in the Inspection Office are too complicated and not suitable for the growth of that girl."

Zhang Chen didn't want to deal with the court because the people in the court were too corrupt. Once your superiors asked you to do something that went against your conscience, would you do it or not?
If you don't follow the family rules of the Procuratorate, you will go against your conscience. At that time, your mind will be filled with demons and it will not be conducive to your practice.

"Why do you have to be so afraid of the imperial court? In fact, the imperial court is not bad." There was a hint of helplessness in Xie Xuan's voice.

"I'm going to see Chengyu." Zhang Chen looked at Xie Lingyun.

"Come with me." Xie Lingyun said.

The two of them got up and walked all the way to a hidden cabin, where they saw dozens of warriors with trained Qi and blood guarding the cabin. Obviously, the father and daughter of the Xie family knew how much Zhang Chen valued Cheng Yu, so they were afraid that Cheng Yu's practice would be disturbed.

"Cheng Yu is practicing in the house. She has been in seclusion for six days." Xie Lingyun said.

People who are practicing cultivation are full of energy and spirit, and even if they don’t eat or drink for a month, there will be no impact.

Through the blood control technique, Zhang Chen was able to sense that Cheng Yu's energy was in the room. The other party's blood and energy were stable, and his heartbeat was extremely slow. It was obvious that he had reached a critical point in his practice and entered a deep state of meditation.

Seeing that Cheng Yu was fine, Zhang Chen felt relieved. He turned to Xie Lingyun and said, "I still have something to do. I will definitely return in five days to help the army of the Inspection Office survive the disaster."

Xie Lingyun said with a serious expression, "Be careful. The Northland is now in chaos with all kinds of people. There are all kinds of crises lurking. Even those great masters in the Yang God realm dare not say that they can protect themselves. The tenth-level masters of the demon race entered the Northland, and the people of the entire Northland are already in a panic. The masters of the human race are also keeping their tails between their legs to avoid being targeted by the demon race masters."

"Sister, you should know my methods. When it comes to the ability to save lives, few people in this world can compare to me." After saying that, Zhang Chen jumped directly into the water, activated the water escape technique, and disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Chen was sneaking around all the way, running continuously in the water, but Zhang Chen was frightened along the way. Do you know why?

There were people screaming in the water, struggling and rising and falling. The flood came suddenly, and countless people were buried in the water and became bait for fish and shrimp.

Zhang Chen looked at the people struggling in the water, and after a little hesitation, he left. It was not that he did not want to rescue them, but that he could not rescue them at all. He could rescue ten, a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand people, but what if there were a hundred thousand people struggling in the water? What about a million people?
How could Zhang Chen have the ability to rescue them?

After walking for another hour, there was suddenly a mysterious fluctuation of energy in front of them. Zhang Chen stopped his escape and after a slight hesitation, he rushed towards the mysterious fluctuation. When he got closer, he saw a big tiger sleeping in the water. There was purple light flowing around its body, and it was undergoing a transformation.

It’s strange to say, isn’t it strange that the big tiger was sleeping in the water instead of drowning?
Zhang Chen transformed into a human form in the water and looked at the five-meter-long tiger. Purple light was flowing around it, and he suddenly realized, "This is just an ordinary tiger. Because it got the dragon ball fragment, it got the luck to transform and will evolve into a demon beast. The dragon ball fragment has the ability to control water, so it has the ability to avoid water."

Zhang Chen looked at the transforming tiger and thought of strangling it with water. The big tiger turned into a pool of meat paste. A piece of purple dragon ball fragment the size of a rice grain flew out and was caught by Zhang Chen who then turned into water escape and continued his journey.

Once this kind of monster becomes powerful, because it has obtained the fortune of a true dragon, it is incomparable to those ordinary monsters. Once it is born, it will definitely master innate skills and will become a great threat to the human race in the future.

Zhang Chen shuttled through the water all the way, but soon he felt a little scalp-numbing, because there were too many shattered dragon ball fragments and too many powerful monsters, and Zhang Chen could not kill them all.

Along the way, Zhang Chen met at least hundreds of monsters that had obtained dragon ball fragments and were in the process of transformation. The most important thing was that some of the monsters had already digested the dragon ball fragments and integrated them into their blood. Zhang Chen strangled them, and their blood flowed out, carrying the essence of the dragon ball, and polluted countless ordinary aquatic creatures, causing them to undergo transformation.

"The north is no longer suitable for human habitation. It has turned into a demon country on earth." Zhang Chen sighed softly, his voice full of helplessness. He simply gave up and did not waste any more time. Instead, he went all the way to the mountain where the Bagua Furnace was hidden.

The mountain where the Bagua furnace was hidden was not flooded. When Zhang Chen came to the mountain where the Bagua furnace was, he saw that the Bagua furnace was cold and silent. The Bagua furnace had long lost its heat. Zhang Chen walked into the cave and looked at the Bagua furnace in front of him. There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes: "The colored world fire in the Bagua furnace has gone out?"

"How could the fire of the colored world be extinguished?" Zhang Chen's eyes were full of disbelief.

Zhang Chen placed his palm on the Bagua furnace, sensing its condition. After a long while, he sighed, "King Pingbian deserves to die!"

The flooding of the Pingbian King caused the displacement of the people in the north, and the dragon energy was weakened to the limit. It was difficult to supply firewood to the Bagua furnace, and it was impossible to maintain the burning of the colored world fire in the Bagua furnace. Without firewood, the colored world fire would naturally go out. Zhang Chen was a step too late after all.

"It's a pity that this Bagua Furnace, such a place of good fortune, I don't know if there will be a chance to reopen it in the future." Zhang Chen was very disappointed and wished he could cut King Pingbian into pieces. However, there was no point regretting now and he could only return empty-handed.

Fortunately, he is not without other options. He has a new skill: Solar Embers.

I don't know if I can develop this skill into the True Fire of the Sun in the future. The True Fire of the Sun is one of the most domineering flames in the world. If I can develop it, I wonder if it can replace the colored fire.

"It's just right. I can try out the skill of this Sun Embers!" Zhang Chen looked at the vast ocean of water at the foot of the mountain. The next moment, he stretched out his hand and saw a dark red charcoal fire the size of a grain of rice appear in the palm of his hand.

After the dark red charcoal fire appeared, Zhang Chen did not notice anything unusual. He held it in front of him and looked at it for a moment, but still did not see anything strange.

"That's it?" Zhang Chen looked at the dark red charcoal fire in his hand with disappointment. This skill was too poor. He casually flicked his fingers and saw the charcoal fire passing through the void and falling into the river at the foot of the mountain.

"Boom~"

The next moment, there was an explosion. It felt like someone poured a basin of cold water on a high-temperature stove, and the cold water boiled instantly after falling on the stove.

When Zhang Chen's sun ember fell into the water, the river water within a radius of ten miles boiled instantly, rolling up a terrifying heat wave. Mist rose up and filled the sky and earth. An overwhelming temperature dissipated between the sky and the earth, shocking Zhang Chen in shock: "It's cooked! All cooked! All the fish and shrimp in the water are cooked!"

Zhang Chen's eyes were filled with horror.

In just a moment, all the water within a ten-mile radius was boiling. What a terrifying heat!

Looking at the boiling river water, Zhang Chen had to admit that he had made a mistake and underestimated the power of the sun's embers.

If such a terrifying temperature fell on a human, even a Yangshen master would be melted, right?
"This is ember, the temperature may not be lower than the real sun fire! I was wrong!" Zhang Chen scratched his head, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Which is hotter, the flame of burning coal or the charcoal fire after burning?
The temperature of the charcoal fire is not low!
Although the embers are flames that are about to go out and their temperature is one level lower than that of charcoal fire, they are comparable to the real fire of the sun.

These are embers, not ashes!
"I've made a fortune! I've really made a fortune this time. It seems that I have a way to threaten Yang Shen Zhenren. However, Yang Shen Zhenren controls the energy of heaven and earth, and his body can gather and disperse without form. It's not easy for these embers to hit him. After all, he is not a wooden stake." Zhang Chen was ecstatic.

But can you say that this ember is weak? This is simply a means of group attack!

Especially since he also has the magic of combining sands. If the magic of combining sands is combined with the sun embers, I wonder what kind of terrifying power it will have.

"The wind can fan the flames of a fire. I wonder if my Hesha magic can blow these embers into the Sun's True Fire and make the Sun's True Fire burn completely." Zhang Chen had an amazing idea in his mind.

"Interesting!" Zhang Chen muttered to himself, his eyes sweeping across the boiling river water in front of him. The sun's embers gradually cooled down in the river water, and finally turned into ashes and disappeared in the water, but the mysterious energy fluctuations caused spread between heaven and earth.

"Someone is coming. The other party should have sensed the fluctuations of my sun embers. My sun embers contain pure yang energy, which is a great tonic for Yin God cultivators and can help them transform into Yin Gods. Even if its power is not as great as the sun fragments collected by Xie Lingyun, it is still a first-class pure yang treasure." Zhang Chen seemed to be thinking about something, and the next moment his water escape technique was used, and he escaped without a trace.

Now Zhang Chen doesn’t want to get himself into trouble, he just wants to stay hidden and develop.
