Primordial Era: With unparalleled comprehension, I am the Ancestor of Stars.

Chapter 174 Terrifying Flames

The group quickly collected all the spider lilies, but still couldn't find any red spider lilies. However, the presence of red spider lilies here was stronger than anywhere else!

Just as they were about to continue their search, a sudden change occurred, and the entire space shook violently, as if it were about to collapse!

The group quickly left. They might not be injured if the world were to be swept away, but they shouldn't forget that they entered this place from the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame. If this world were inside the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame, then after the world was swept away, the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame would definitely erupt as well. They had no confidence that they could get out of it alive!

The group quickly exited the mysterious space, left a mark at the entrance, and then left the Flame Bottom!

As soon as they returned to the ground, the entire magma began to erupt violently, and Netherworld God-Slaying Flames shot into the sky, creating a terrifying scene. Soon, powerful figures arrived!

They saw that the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame had begun to rage, and the group exchanged glances, as if they already understood everything!

The group ascended directly into the air, and then the entire world was sealed off, preventing them from entering or leaving; they were forced to remain within this world.

After they finished doing all this, an old man covered in fiery red directly channeled his magic power, sending a voice into the ears of everyone in the world: "The Netherworld God-Slaying Flame has rioted, and we have found the cause, but the culprit has not yet been found. They are not from our Netherworld, but outsiders! I, Huo Yan, will find him, and you will not escape!"

The old man named Huoyan glanced at Nuwa and the others, seemingly casually, but quickly looked away!

This startled Nuwa and the others. Each of these newly appeared people was no less powerful than Pingxin, and some of them were even much stronger than Pingxin!

Moreover, this is the Netherworld, and there are only four of them, and their strength and number are unknown!

They were so focused on finding out about the Manjusaka flowers that they completely overlooked the strength of this world!

Under the pursuit of the old man of fire, the group went into hiding, but their good fortune didn't last long. Soon, the dead man's whereabouts were found, and the four became fugitives. They fled almost all over the world, but in the end, they were still found!

During their escape, the group did consider leaving this Netherworld, but they simply couldn't break the formation that sealed it off!

They were driven to the edge of the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame by the flames, but in the end, thanks to Huo Ling'er's strong perception of the flames, she jumped into the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame and escaped death.

However, they could not stay in the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame for too long, so they finally sent a message to Taihao.

After receiving Taihao's message, the Devouring Spirit Ancestor and the Heavenly Sword Profound Sect Master rushed over. They arrived at the Netherworld in just over a decade, but they were blocked by the great formation.

The two painstakingly studied and deduced the weaknesses of the formation, but this would take time. They had come to rescue people, not to study formations, so they directly began to attack the formation. They believed that every formation had a limited capacity, and once that limit was broken, the formation would shatter!

However, they underestimated the defensive power of this formation. They attacked for a long time, but each time they only managed to cause some fluctuations in the formation, and they were unable to break through it directly!

Just as they were about to inform Taihao, another person suddenly appeared! This person's strength seemed far greater than theirs; even Taihao wasn't that powerful!

The two were momentarily tense, thinking that this person was an ally from the Netherworld, but after arriving, he completely ignored them and began attacking the formation.

This move left the two completely baffled. Who exactly was this suddenly appearing powerful figure?

The two didn't leave immediately, because there were still several people inside waiting for them to save their lives!

But what happened next made the two of them feel like they were about to vomit blood. They had planned to wait for this newly arrived expert to break through the formation, then sneak in, rescue the person, and run away. But to their surprise, he still couldn't break through the formation!

The one who just arrived was the God-Slaying Ancestor. As soon as he arrived, he discovered the existence of the formation. He thought that in a world with high-level but low-level strength, how strong could the formation be? With his own Great Dao Realm strength, breaking it would be a piece of cake. However, he, like the Spirit-Devouring Ancestor and the Heavenly Sword Profound Sect Master, underestimated the power of this formation!

He attacked for a while but then gave up, because he couldn't break the formation by force with his strength!

He then turned to the two Soul Devouring Ancestors beside him and said, "You two, come here!"

After seeing that even the God-Slaying Ancestor couldn't break the formation, the Devouring Spirit Ancestor and the Heavenly Sword Profound Sect Master wanted to leave and wait for Taihao to arrive!

But before they could do anything, they were stopped, and the two had no choice but to bite the bullet and go over!

"Senior, what brings you two here?" the Soul Devouring Ancestor said to the God-Slaying Ancestor with a fawning expression.

"I will keep attacking the formation, and you two will also attack it, focusing your power on one point and slowly breaking it down," the God-Slaying Ancestor commanded the two of them.

Although the Soul Devouring Ancestor was very displeased, he could only accept his fate. From the God-Slaying Ancestor's attack just now, they had already sensed that the God-Slaying Ancestor was a genuine expert at the Great Dao Realm!

If they were killed, it would be like crushing an ant; the two of them would have no chance to resist and could only obediently follow the orders of the God-Slaying Ancestor!

Then the three of them attacked the great formation together. The power of the God-Slaying Ancestor had a certain corrosive effect. He wanted to slowly erode into the formation and destroy it. However, without the help of others, his corrosive power could not penetrate. So he could only find the two people next to him!

The three of them, each with their own ulterior motives, worked towards a common goal, and were all working for the same person, but they were unaware of each other's background.

Despite this, no one slacked off. At least their goal was the same: to break the formation as soon as possible, rescue the people inside, and complete the mission Taihao had given them!

The group that jumped into the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame initially did not go too deep, and thanks to Huo Ling'er's understanding of the laws of fire, they escaped death time and time again!

However, as they went deeper, they were all injured by the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame. Fortunately, they had enough Spider Lilies, otherwise they would have died in the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame!

Just as the group had barely escaped one of the Netherworld God-Slaying Flames' outbursts and breathed a sigh of relief, another wave of flames erupted, this time directly behind Huo Ling'er. Sensing the intense heat and terrifying energy behind her, Huo Ling'er used her last ounce of strength to send Nuwa, Pingxin, and Xihe flying, single-handedly holding off all the Netherworld God-Slaying Flames!

After being knocked away by Huo Ling'er, the group desperately fled their previous location!

It wasn't that they didn't want to rescue Huo Ling'er, but they lacked the strength. For the first time, Nuwa and Xihe felt a yearning for power!

Although the group had trained very hard in the past, they had only focused on training and hadn't paid much attention to their strength. However, after this ordeal, especially after Huo Ling'er bravely shielded them from the terrifying flames all by herself!

That's why they developed a desire for power, a desire to become stronger. If they had the strength of Taihao today, they wouldn't have been chased and forced to jump into the Netherworld God-Slaying Flame, and Huo Ling'er wouldn't have died trying to save them!

The three had already concluded that Huo Ling'er had perished, because although Huo Ling'er had a deep understanding of the laws of fire, her strength had only just broken through to the mid-stage of the Primordial Chaos realm!
