Great Red Immortal Sect

Chapter 610 Xuandan
Above Baihua Palace.

The golden-red fire surged ceaselessly, mingling with the Xun wind, transforming into a vast wind and fire that burned in all directions. From this wind and fire emerged a majestic bear beast, smashing its way forward and creating a long path.

Holding the [Honghuo Beast Diagram], Liu Xiaowen was now urging the summoned Bing Beast to break through the formation. Seeing an opening ahead, he was about to unleash the blue and white feather fan in his hand to break through the encirclement.

At this moment, within his inner vision, he was exerting all his strength to suppress a treasure bag woven from gold thread, its surface decorated with sun patterns and bound with a vermilion rope, from which golden light continuously emanated.

The [Long Flame Radiance Bag] is a solar artifact. Its grade is unknown, but according to Liu Xiaowen's estimation, it definitely surpasses any spiritual artifact in the sect, and even spiritual treasures from other lineages are hard to compare with.

When this artifact is placed on the platform, if an ordinary person gets close, thousands of golden rays will immediately shoot out, burning their body and exposing their soul, making it impossible to get close. However, they are quite close to the [Eternal Brightness Venerable Light Profound Flame] in his hand, which is why they have the opportunity to take the treasure.

Putting everything else aside, just taking this thing with you and leaving the cave immediately would be a huge profit.

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to activate such a treasure without refining it. Only the most orthodox solar cultivators can use it immediately. For now, he can only suppress it with the Xuan Flame.

Suddenly, a supernatural power appeared ahead, and a deep red light condensed into a sword pellet, which exploded instantly, wiping out the wind and fire in front of them. Liu Xiaowen's body also gradually turned golden, and his figure froze instantly.

What appeared was a huge crocodile monster, with a crocodile head and a human body, wearing a golden-white armor that shone with a golden light, and its aura had reached the level of two supernatural powers.

The former Demon King of the Turbid Sea, Destroying Gold.

This demon once lived in the Turbid Sea, but was driven away by the Azure Origin True Man of the Upper Heaven Daoist lineage. Now it has entered the cave heaven and finally found an opportunity, but it dares not go to cause trouble for that Golden Core direct descendant. Instead, it has set its sights on the people around him.

"Hand over the feather fan and the treasure bag, and I'll spare your life."

A hint of covetousness flickered in Cui Jin's eyes. He was not a rogue cultivator in the ordinary sense; he had his own lineage and background, so he could naturally see the extraordinary nature of the feather fan. However, what was more important was the treasure bag.

Liu Xiao remained silent. The golden-red spirit fire beside him burned fiercely, its profound flames surging, trying its best to melt the golden energy on his body. However, the effect was not very good. If this fire had not been tainted with a bit of solar energy, it probably wouldn't have been able to burn at all.

The gold is not afraid of being refined by fire, but it is extremely difficult to make into a useful object. It is very calm in the face of the fire of Bing, and it is also easy to withstand the fire of Li. However, the fire of Ding can overcome this gold.

Judging from the aura of this demon, it has already cultivated two supernatural powers, possesses noble blood, and its lineage even has a strong restraining effect on its Bing Fire, making it difficult to deal with.

Liu Xiaowen did not panic, but instead briefly observed his surroundings.

He had already broken out of the Baihua Divine Palace's territory, and not far away, that Fellow Daoist Qingyuan had also seized a spiritual item, but was entangled by a mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator and couldn't kill him for the time being.

He did not place all his hopes on outsiders. To be honest, the fact that Qingyuan Zhenren was willing to help him fend off the siege at the first moment was already beyond Liu Xiaowen's expectations.

'We must hurry. If we delay any longer, the surrounding Purple Mansions will recover and won't let me retreat.'

Liu Xiaowen made a decision immediately. Without wasting words, he began to activate his divine power. Instantly, streaks of golden-red fire fell from the sky, burning towards the opponent and forcing the giant crocodile back a few steps.

【Flame Immortal】, as a rare supernatural ability that combines body and technique, its function is almost entirely in combat. It can transform the body into a fiery body, with strength like a tiger or bear, allowing the cultivator's strength to increase rapidly, giving them a great advantage in close combat.

As for performing magic, it has two natures. When activated by the position of Bright Virtue, it can simultaneously control the True and False Fires to increase its magical power, burn away evil and refine wickedness, and control the Heavenly Fire. When activated by the position of Harsh Evil, it can devour and plunder the opponent's vital energy and magical power when it strikes, and use it for its own purposes.

Even more extreme, the so-called cruel nature can directly plunder blood and energy and use it for one's own benefit, but it will bring irreversible changes to one's supernatural powers.

It can be said that this supernatural power is extremely comprehensive in combat, and can almost be used as two supernatural powers from other sects.

Liu Xiaowen's dark black robe fluttered in the wind and fire, and his aura rose inch by inch. The two Purple Mansion Spiritual Flames, Hengming Profound Flame and Dayan Combined Flame, rose and burned in his inner world, transforming into magical power.

"Boy, you cultivate the Bing Fire element, and you think you can compete with me—"

With a swift movement, the golden crocodile raised its head, and the golden energy within its belly condensed once more, instantly spewing out and slashing towards Liu Xiaowen's face.

This [Great Evolution Five Metal Flying Sword] is his confidence in traveling the world, and also his most powerful killing technique. Its power is definitely not lacking, and its lineage is even more astonishingly high.

However, the cultivator's physical body had already transformed into spiritual fire, becoming one with the true essence, which was extremely wondrous. He once again summoned a blue-white feather fan from his hand, and with a wave of his hand, wind and fire raged. The golden flying sword was slightly deflected, and Liu Xiao narrowly dodged it.

"Lingbao."

Cui Jin's tone seemed somewhat resentful. He immediately made a hand seal, and the flying sword formed from golden energy turned around, humming as it slashed towards the head of the spirit fire body.

boom!
The golden-red fire-man's head fell to the ground with a thud, teetering on the edge. This brought a smile to the demon king's face, but he still cautiously summoned a bead wreathed in black flames and hurled it at the figure.

Amidst the raging winds and flames, Liu Xiaowen's severed head instantly regrew. He activated the wondrous [Speedy Strike] technique, allowing him to instantly reach the golden body.

"?"

Cui Jin was no fool; he immediately guessed the opponent's strategy. His body transformed into spiritual fire, and his weakness lay only in his inner vision. Without the restriction of flesh and blood, the opponent could hide his inner vision wherever he wanted.

But after beheading someone, they should be severely weakened, so how can they still be so full of energy? Unless the opponent's supernatural power is strange, it must be a very high-level magic technique!

Before Cui Jin could think any further, the person in front of him had already charged in with rolling wind and fire. The palm formed from golden-red spiritual fire slashed down with great force, carrying a vast amount of light and heat.

"How dare you underestimate me!"

The giant alligator's face immediately contorted into a ferocious expression, a golden-white light swirling around its entire body, and a vigorous, unyielding energy, like the workings of Heaven, emanated from it, empowering its form. [Heavenly Movement]

As a physical supernatural power of the Shengjin Dao, this method corresponds to the ceaseless nature of Qiantian. The more one fights, the more it enhances various aspects of oneself, including the toughness of the physical body and killing power.

As a nobleman, his physical body was exceptionally strong. At this moment, his fists, gleaming with a golden-white luster, slammed upwards towards his opponent.

A strange force surged from above, causing Cui Jin to feel a sudden weakness in his arms and a tremor in his body. It seemed as if his vital energy and magical power were being torn apart by something.

In a contest of strength, he was the one who lost!
Liu Xiaowen's fiery body was now covered with animal hide, as if he were wearing an ancient and primitive battle suit. Crimson bear skin covered his upper body, and another wonderful use of the [Honghuo Beast Diagram] was being used.

Aside from the [Shou] which can activate the Binghuo Bear Beast to fight enemies, another wonder of this spiritual artifact is the [Da Zhao], which can be combined with supernatural powers to instantly transform a person into an ancient Zhao Bear bloodline, enhancing their physical body and boosting their strength.

Combined with the [Flame Immortal], its wondrous power increased even further, overwhelming the demon in a mere instant.

"Uu——"

The crocodile's mouth was about to open, and inside, a dazzling sword light flickered, locking onto Liu Xiaowen's changing inner vision. In the close combat, the demon finally found the opponent's fatal weakness!
Suddenly, colorful rays of light burst forth, and a pagoda surrounded by water and fire appeared in Liu Xiaowen's hands.

Without hesitation, he grabbed the other's throat with one hand, unleashing a burst of spiritual fire that turned the throat red and slightly charred, while his other hand shot up a pagoda and slammed it into the crocodile demon's mouth.

The [Avici Fire Pearl] that had been refined into the Divine Glow Pagoda in the past took effect, and the Yin Fire burst forth, just in time to burn away the metal energy at the moment when the opponent's sword light was about to be released.

If this flying sword were unleashed, Ding Huo would naturally be unable to deal with it, but Liu Xiaowen seized the opportunity and performed a miraculous feat.

"Junior!"

With a furious roar, Cui Jin opened its mouth wide and snapped down, about to swallow its opponent whole, but Liu Xiaowen seized the opportunity and dodged using the southeast wind.

The Divine Glowing Pagoda was then spat out by the demon and snatched back. The demon now held a golden-white treasure plate engraved with a steed, which it used to suppress the pagoda and prevent it from being taken back.

"Nanrong".

Liu Xiaowen remained calm and activated his magic. He stretched out his palm and pushed, and Bingzhen spiritual fire condensed on it, about to erupt. This caused Cui Jin's expression to change. Instantly, layers of five-colored mysterious crystals appeared in front of him, blocking the fire.

A faint flame ignited from Liu Xiaowen's hand and vanished in an instant, posing no threat whatsoever. Cui Jin was slightly taken aback, but he quickly realized something was wrong.

Within that radiant pagoda, immense power accumulated, gleaming with brilliant light and raging with true flames, erupting in an instant.

When he tried to activate the [Heavenly Horse Plate] to suppress it, a hazy, colorful light covered him, causing his mid-grade spiritual artifact, which was superior to gold, to fall.

Boom!

The spiritual fire transformed into tigers and bears, burning towards its head. Under the repeated scorching, the golden light on its body finally dimmed, revealing its flesh and blood, which were charred and burnt.

Even so, the monster was not seriously injured; only most of its head was burned to ashes, revealing its golden-white bones.

'As expected of Sheng Jin, a first-rate protective lineage.'

Liu Xiao took a deep breath. The battle at Baihua Divine Palace in the distance had reached its most intense moment, and many Purple Mansions had already discovered his whereabouts and were fleeing towards this place.

"Retreat quickly."

Suddenly, a blue primordial wind blew from afar, and a man dressed in a black robe of wind and thunder rushed out, tightly clutching a golden scripture and two precious pills in his hands, which respectively emitted the spiritual light of the sun and the aura of primordial blue.

Behind this True Person of Shangxiao Sect were at least three Purple Mansion cultivators, and even a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator came to attack, making Liu Xiaowen's scalp tingle.

"Borrow me a fan!"

Tian Tuo spoke decisively, instantly taking the blue and white feather fan from the other party's hand. He activated the Yuanmu Divine Power [Fufeng Bao] at full power, and combined it with the [Dafeng Zhenxun Fan], instantly creating a raging gale that howled through the world.

The two rode the wind and soared away in an instant, breaking through the encirclement and fleeing deeper into the cave, having already passed the encirclement of the thirty-six Dao Palaces.

"Cui Jin, you can't even defeat someone with a single supernatural power!"

A handsome Asura stepped out, with dark blue skin, nine heads, and a thousand outstretched arms. He was clearly a cultivator at the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm, and belonged to the most powerful Fire Dao lineage.

Great Asura [Flower Garland].

"You give it a try, that kid has a lot of good stuff!"

Cui Jin's tone was deep and serious, with a hint of sarcasm, as he said:
"You also let Qingyuan escape. Tsk, how come you still have wind injuries? Back then, you boasted that you would definitely be able to capture this person."

Hua Man's expression remained cold and stern, and she said in a solemn voice:
“He can’t escape. Shangxiao has been too arrogant lately and has broken the rules in the West Sea. Shanjian Temple ordered me to teach him a lesson. The Great Master of Thunder is also watching. This time, he’ll get what’s coming to him.”
