Gods of the Nation: You worship the God of Longevity, I worship the King of Hell!

Chapter 213 He's made a fortune! Even looking across the entire Three Realms, you absolutely couldn't find another prodigy like him!

The fire in the hearth, after successively consuming the [Minister's Fire] and the [People's Fire], had transformed into a two-colored flame, interwoven with red and blue.

Sensing the aura of [Junhuo] and a large number of Fire Spirit Guards, it suddenly unleashed an unprecedentedly terrifying suction force!
Where the divine light swept, the raging sea of ​​fire in front of them seemed to freeze instantly.

The hundred Fire Spirit Guards who charged forward were instantly immobilized upon touching the divine light, like mud oxen sinking into the sea or insects caught in a spider web.

However, the true target of this divine light has always been that [Sovereign Fire].

After capturing numerous Fire Spirit Guards, it did not linger at all, but continued to radiate directly towards the sea of ​​fire.

In the blink of an eye, it had completely enveloped the "unable to dodge" [Lord's Fire].

"Zizzi-"

A piercing burning sound suddenly rang out, just like when it had devoured the ministers' fire and the people's fire before.

Suddenly, a burst of smoke and fire erupted from the divine light, enveloping the [Lord's Fire] like a tidal wave.

This "king" that once reigned supreme over all the flames was like a natural enemy in the face of the fire in the hearth. It struggled violently and the flames quickly dimmed, and it had no power to resist at all.

In the blink of an eye, the [Lord's Fire] was devoured whole by the hungry fire in the stove.

Strangely, Lu Chen didn't feel anything unusual this time.

The excruciating pain I had anticipated did not come.

It seemed that the fire in the stove had already sensed that, given Lu Chen's current cultivation level and life level, he simply could not withstand the excruciating pain of another round of marrow-draining and bone-sucking.

So he captured the Sovereign Fire and refined it himself in an instant.

—"Boom boom boom!"

As the [Lord's Fire] was completely devoured.

At that moment, a terrifying heat wave erupted from within the fire.

The original colors of fireworks suddenly gave way to a halo of red, blue, and black light on the outermost layer, radiating an awe-inspiring and domineering aura!

The legendary supreme divine fire that could burn the heavens and boil the seas and refine all things was thus refined by Lu Chen—no, to be precise, by the fire in the hearth!

After witnessing this scene, Lu Chen suddenly had a piece of information pop into his mind, which made him realize something.

It turns out that this fire in the stove was the first wisp of smoke in the world when the world was created.

This body is undoubtedly the top divine fire of the Fire Dao lineage.

But at the same time, it is completely different from other "simple" divine fires.

It is more like a magical artifact that can grow, possessing the ability to devour and refine all kinds of fire.

If the host's strength is insufficient, it will absorb the nutrients on its own and save them for later use.

And it stored the fire it swallowed within its body.

To put it bluntly, the fire in the stove is also equivalent to a top-notch "energy storage tank"!
This is precisely why Lu Chen was unharmed on the third attempt after the first two painful trials.

After all, with his current mortal body, how could he possibly refine the divine fire of immortality, the Samadhi True Fire?

The intense pain that had previously felt like being cleansed of marrow and hair was actually the indirect tempering and cleansing of the physical body when the fire seed absorbed the true fire.

"So it turns out that it wasn't me who refined the Samadhi True Fire, but the fire in the hearth!"

Lu Chen chuckled, but then thought it over and decided it didn't matter.

The fire in the stove absorbed the Samadhi True Fire.

He can control the fire in the stove.

In other words, he can still use the Samadhi Fire.

However, after refining it, one can activate the three fires within one's own body, which are inexhaustible and continuously output the power of true fire.

But of all the fire in the stove it consumes, Lu Chen can only mobilize that amount.

Upon thinking of this, Lu Chen's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"Inhale! Inhale deeply! Drain out all the Samadhi Fire of this heaven!"

With Lu Chen's sharp shout, the fire in the stove burned even more fiercely!
Those fire spirit guards imprisoned by the divine light seemed to sense a deep "fear" and struggled to turn around and flee.

But where can they escape to?
—Wow!!

The embers in the stove were swallowed up like a giant whale sucking in water!
Countless crimson and cyan streams of light detached from the fire spirit guards, converging into a surging river of fire that rushed into the fire seed.

The fire spirit guards quickly became transparent, dissipated, and eventually disappeared without a trace.

In a short while, the Fire Spirit Guards that had been captured by the divine light were completely devoured.

Seeing this scene...

"Gudong-"

Lan'er, who was hiding around the corner, swallowed hard and stared wide-eyed.

What did she see?
The ferocious Fire Spirit Guard... was actually devoured alive?

You should know that such a large army of Fire Spirit Guards would probably be a huge challenge even for a Golden Immortal.

But right now, Lu Chen's tiny spark has treated it as a free tonic, and he's devoured it, leaving not even a bone fragment!

Although Lan'er already knew that the fire in the stove was the nemesis of all fires, naturally suppressing all fire-related creatures.

Otherwise, He wouldn't have risked going with Lu Chen to venture into the extremely dangerous Linglong Tower.

But even with such restraint, it still severely impacted His understanding.

—What kind of heaven-defying divine artifact is this?! ...

They saw that the fire spirit guards, who had been captured by the divine light, had been completely devoured.

But a large number of Fire Spirit Guards were still in the distance.

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes and a malicious smile crept across his lips.

The Fire Spirit Guards in the distance seemed to suddenly gain sentience, trembled in unison, and then scattered and fled in all directions in the next instant!
"What are you running for? Stay here, all of you!" Lu Chen pointed and shouted, "Go!"

The spark moved at will, transforming into a streak of light that shot out.

Wherever the divine light shone, the Fire Spirit Guards instantly melted away and were swallowed up in large swaths.

"Inhale! Inhale deeply!"

As a massive amount of Samadhi True Fire and Fire Spirit Guard were absorbed.

The fire in the stove has also undergone a tremendous change!

Originally only the size of a grain of rice, it grew to the size of a thumb after devouring [Minister Fire] and [People Fire].

Now, after devouring the [Lord's Fire] and a massive number of Fire Spirit Guards, it faintly revealed the shape of a campfire built by the ancient people!
And this is exactly what the stove looked like when the first wisp of smoke in the world first took shape!
Seeing the dramatic changes in the fire in the stove, its power increasing steadily, Lu Chen felt a surge of murderous intent!
--"That!"

--"That!"

--"That!"

Lu Chen pointed his fingers repeatedly, and with each point, divine light swept out, capturing and devouring a large number of fire spirit guards!

"What the hell did I just see?! This guy is actually chasing after the Fire Spirit Guard!"

Inside the cave, Lan'er felt that the scene before her was both absurd and exhilarating:

To wield divine fire with a mortal body and devour the Fire Spirit Guards... Even across the entire Three Realms, there is absolutely no other prodigy like him!

——Boom!

Just then, the entire Samadhi True Fire Heaven trembled violently!

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, a mysterious "fire seal" interwoven with three colors slowly rose up.

Lu Chen's gaze sharpened: "That is... the pivot of this realm?"

He realized something and suddenly turned around and shouted, "Lan'er, come here quickly!"

Upon hearing this, Lan'er instantly transformed into her true form.

--hold head high!

Amidst the roar of a dragon, she had already swiftly reached Lu Chen's side.

A divine light shot out from the dimensional pivot, enveloping the man and dragon who had just arrived.

The next moment, the man and the dragon felt dizzy and disoriented, as if they were falling into an abyss.

"Lu Chen, we're about to enter the third level!" Lan'er exclaimed with joy!
"Oh dear, this Samadhi True Fire Heaven is too stingy. I haven't had enough yet."

Lu Chen looked like he still wanted more.

"Quickly! Quickly ignite the fire in the stove and unleash the Samadhi True Fire to protect your body!"

Lan'er cried out, "From the next level onwards, you will enter the true perilous area of ​​the Linglong Tower, a demonic cave that imprisons an ancient ferocious beast! Without the protection of the Samadhi True Fire, your mortal body will be instantly devoured by the demonic energy within, turning you into a soulless walking corpse!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's expression changed drastically, and he immediately dared not be negligent in the slightest!

The embers of the stove reappeared between his brows.

As he raised his hand, a wisp of flame, interwoven with red, blue, and black, leaped from his fingertips, emanating a terrifying aura capable of scorching the heavens and boiling the seas—it was the Samadhi True Fire.

With a thought, true fire spread throughout his body, transforming into a layer of dazzling light that firmly protected him.

As the descent accelerated, Lu Chen looked down and saw a faint glimmer of light appearing again in the darkness below!

That's the entrance to the third floor!
Lu Chen's gaze tightened, a burning intensity flashing in his eyes:
"The Soul-Suppressing Lotus of Destiny, I have arrived!!"

……

Meanwhile, outside the Linglong Tower.

The banquet continued as usual, with toasts and drinks flowing freely.

--boom!

Just as the Kitchen God was about to raise his cup, the fire in the stove inside his body suddenly surged violently, and a burst of intense heat almost burst out of his body!

If He hadn't already set up a restriction, His divine power would have surely dissipated just now.

"Just how much Samadhi True Fire did this kid absorb? How can his aura be so astonishing?"

Even the Kitchen God couldn't help but feel a chill, knowing that Lu Chen must have obtained an extraordinary opportunity.

Almost simultaneously, the Seven Treasures Pagoda in the center of the banquet table also emitted a faint wisp of divine light, which vanished in a flash.

"Um?!"

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, who was drinking, suddenly stopped and stared at him with sharp eyes.

"not good!!!"

Upon seeing this, the Kitchen God's heart sank.

　Sorry for the overtime work.
