[Lin Dong: What a pity! I was hoping to witness my brother's prowess in battle against those Divine Fire Realm cultivators!]

[Han Li: If we could witness such an important battle firsthand, we would definitely benefit greatly...]

[Wang Lin: Perhaps this god-slaying battle of our elder brother is destined to be unattainable for us.]

Han Li and the others felt a little disappointed when they saw that Qian Renxue hadn't recorded the screen.

This made Qian Renxue, who was already feeling guilty, feel even more ashamed.

However, at that moment, Zhu Chen suddenly uploaded a first-person perspective video through the chat group.

[Zhu Chen: I was the one fighting those Divine Fire Realm cultivators just now. If anyone's going to record the screen, it's me. Why are you asking Xiaoxue for the video?]

After sending the video, Zhu Chen then posted a comment in the group chat.

Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue felt a surge of warmth in her heart.

She was watching the game live, so she's the one most convenient to record it.

But Zhu Chen took on all the responsibilities at this time.

This is clearly a deliberate attempt to protect oneself!

Upon realizing this, Qian Renxue's delicate face flushed slightly.

Why does my older brother always protect me?

"Could it be... that he has feelings for me?"

……

While Qian Renxue was lost in her romantic thoughts...

The other people in the group had already opened the video that Zhu Chen uploaded and started watching it with great interest.

This video is short, but it is even more exciting than the last time Zhu Chen fought Tuo Sen at the Vermilion Bird Tomb.

Because last time Zhu Chen faced Tuo Sen, he directly used the small tower to finish him off.

Although Tuosen's demon god consciousness was strong, it couldn't cause any trouble in front of Xiaota, who had the combat power of a sect leader.

At that time, the two sides only met once, and Tuosen's demon god consciousness was refined by the little tower.

This time, however, Zhu Chen personally took action to annihilate those Divine Fire Realm cultivators with unparalleled skill.

His physical form, brimming with blood and qi, and his fist, carrying immense heavenly might, enough to shatter a void, left Xiao Yan and the others dumbfounded, almost making them think they had mistaken him for someone else.

They never dreamed that Zhu Chen's strength had reached such a level.

Without using any magical techniques or supernatural abilities, he could instantly kill a Divine Fire Realm cultivator with just his physical strength.

This power is just too terrifying!
[Xiao Yan: Big brother, what level is your cultivation now? How did you suddenly become so powerful?]

It took Xiao Yan a long time to come back to his senses after processing the video.

He had assumed that Zhu Chen had used some powerful magic weapon to kill those Divine Fire Realm cultivators.

Just like last time at the Suzaku Tomb.

It wasn't until he finished watching the video that he realized Zhu Chen hadn't used any magical artifacts or even supernatural powers in this battle; he had relied entirely on his physical strength to overwhelm the powerful enemy.

If we have to talk about using supernatural powers, it would probably only be the very first physical form.

[Zhu Chen: Didn't I already tell you this before? I just broke through to the Venerable Realm, and my current cultivation level is only at the early stage of Venerable!]

Zhu Chen naturally responded to Xiao Yan in the group chat. [Xiao Yan: Holy crap, a Venerable Realm cultivator crushed a God-Slaying Flame Realm cultivator! Your strength is monstrous right now.]

[Zhu Chen: It's just killing someone who's above your level. It's not like you haven't done something like that before.]

Zhu Chen was immediately amused by Xiao Yan.

In the original story, this lucky guy's favorite pastime was killing people of higher rank.

Putting aside everything else, back in the Yunlan Sect, the other party had challenged opponents stronger than himself more than once.

One instance was when he used the strength of a Great Dou Master to fight against Yun Ling, who was at the peak of the Dou King level.

One instance was when he, as a Dou Wang (a powerful martial arts master), overpowered Dou Zongyunshan.

He refused to believe that the other party was now stronger than in the original story and hadn't done something like killing someone of a higher level.

[Xiao Yan: Big brother, you're too modest. When I kill someone above my level, it's either by using the Buddha's Wrath Lotus or by having my teacher do it. It's nothing compared to what you've done.]

[Zhu Chen: Aren't they all the same—killing someone of a higher order?]

[Xiao Yan: The same my foot! I had to use all my strength to take one down, while you took them down with one punch each. How can that be the same?]

[Han Li: Yes, brother, you're too modest. I really didn't expect you to kill those Divine Fire Realm cultivators in such a way.]

[Wang Lin: Brother, although your current cultivation level is at the early stage of the Venerable realm, your true strength is probably already at the peak of the Divine Fire Realm, right?]

Everyone else was just as stunned as Xiao Yan was by the video Zhu Chen uploaded.

You say you can kill people above your level and fight against many alone, and they can all tolerate it.

But you're taking them down one by one with one punch, isn't that going too far?

Xiao Yan even felt that there was no need to release Zhu Chen's initial physical form.

You say you can kill a Divine Fire Realm cultivator with one punch, so why do you still need to manifest your physical body and dharma form? Are you just showing off?

[Zhu Chen: You're overthinking it. The strength of Divine Fire Realm cultivators varies greatly. Some powerful Divine Fire Realm cultivators can easily kill other cultivators of the same realm, while others are only slightly stronger than normal Venerables. This mainly depends on the level of the divine fire they ignite!]

[Xiao Yan: Divine Fire? What kind of fire is this? Is it also a kind of strange fire?]

Upon hearing the word 'fire,' Xiao Yan immediately thought of the strange fire he could devour and refine.

[Zhu Chen: I suppose so. Here, if a Venerable Realm cultivator wants to break through to the Divine Fire Realm, they need to use external "divine matter" or "heavenly and earthly strange fire" as a seed to ignite themselves in order to advance. However, Divine Fire Realm cultivators who break through in this way have the weakest foundation, and most of them will never be able to advance any further in their lifetime.]

[Xiao Yan: No way? Using a rare fire from heaven and earth as a seed for advancement is the weakest foundation? Is there something better in this world than a rare fire born from heaven and earth?]

Xiao Yan was very curious.

In his eyes, those strange flames that were born from the pure and auspicious energy of heaven and earth should be the best cultivation resources in the world.

How did it become the weakest here?

[Zhu Chen: I'm not saying that different flames are bad, but doing it this way relies on external forces and doesn't align well with one's own Dao. This will lead to flaws in one's future divine foundation. Although these people are also at the Divine Flame Realm, their strength is far inferior to cultivators who ignite their own divine flames.]

[Xiao Yan: Ignite the divine fire with my own power? How do you do that? Do I have to create my own different kind of fire?]

[Zhu Chen: No need to create your own different flame, just use your body as a seed!]

[Xiao Yan: Using one's body as a seed? What kind of cultivation method is that? I've never heard of it before!]

[Zhu Chen: Simply put, it means that cultivators do not rely on any external divine matter to advance. Instead, they regard themselves as a complete world, a perfect seed of the Dao, using their own potential and Dao runes as the spark to ignite a unique "self-divine fire." Cultivators who advance in this way not only have a flawless divine foundation that perfectly matches their own nature without any impurities, but their combat power also far surpasses that of other cultivators at the same level, and they can even kill enemies across realms.]
