Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Logically, this shouldn't be the case. Since the source of the evil fire has been stolen, the nearby evil beasts should have arrived quickly.

Han Feng clapped his hands. "If they didn't come, they didn't come. They were probably scared by the commotion earlier."

"Just now?"

Wenren Xuan looked completely bewildered.

"Oh, I forgot, you were awake but not fully conscious just now."

Han Feng smiled and didn't explain further.

"Let's go, I have an easier way to get back."

Han Feng put his hand on Wenren Xuan's shoulder, and Yao Tianhuo also came over.

Together, the three of them passed through the spatial rift of the Void God Stele and arrived at the entrance of the Purple Shattered Ruins in the next second.

"this......"

Wenren Xuan was stunned again.

That's incredible skill...

After passing through the entrance to the Purple Shattered Ruins, Han Feng and the others returned to land.

The soldiers guarding the entrance to the Purple Shattered Ruins immediately pointed their weapons at the three of them.

Wenren Xuan took out his token, and the soldiers carefully checked it before letting him pass.

"They're back so quickly?"

The Empress was extremely surprised when she received the news.

We just solved the problem of the evil fire not long ago, and then we left the Purple Shattered Ruins. Could it be that the evil fire is hiding near the entrance?

Han Feng and his two companions entered the tent to wait, and the Empress soon appeared.

Seeing the three of them looking calm and composed, the Empress smiled.

Congratulations on your triumphant return, all three of you.

Han Feng stood up and bowed, then took out the "Evil Fire".

"Your Majesty, this is the corrupted strange fire. Please use your methods to purify it."

The Empress looked at the "Origin of Evil Fire" that Han Feng handed over and accepted it with a solemn expression.

"Such a strong, malevolent energy."

After estimating for a moment, the Empress said to Han Feng, "I will need about ten days to purify it."

"it is good."

Han Feng nodded.

"You can take a good rest these few days. The aftereffects of entering the Purple Shattered Ruins are quite significant, so don't let them leave you with any lasting health problems."

The Empress said.

She was well aware of the immense danger of venturing deep into the Purple Shattered Ruins, as the concentration of malevolent energy within was far greater than on the outer perimeter.

Soldiers who enter the Purple Shattered Ruins usually return to rest for a few days after experiencing a battle.

That's exactly what happened.

Although Han Feng helped Wenren Xuan expel the evil energy from his body, he still felt extremely exhausted.

The same was true for Yaotianhuo; he was seriously injured in a battle with Wanshoulinghuo.

Only Han Feng was in slightly better condition.

However, rest if you can.

Let's get back to normal first. Who knows what changes might happen in the Purple Shattered Ruins in a few days?

The three settled into their respective tents and began meditating to regulate their breathing.

Having experienced the previous battle, Han Feng's fighting spirit has been further enhanced, and he already feels like he is about to break through.

Han Feng seized the opportunity and focused on circulating the "Burning Technique," refining the battle qi within his body.

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the tent, Han Feng's body surface emanated a pale blue battle aura. His meridians circulated throughout his body, and the surrounding energy suddenly gathered, then reached its limit and gently dispersed.

hum!

Han Feng's battle qi level has successfully advanced to the next minor level.

Six-star Dou Zong.

Han Feng caught up with Wenren Xuan, and the opponent's last pitiful advantage was leveled off, leaving them completely behind.

Han Feng was in a good mood and got up to stretch his muscles.

Next, a myriad beast spirit fire awaits him.

After absorbing this strange fire, his cultivation level should increase by a few more stars.

Moreover, the "Burning Technique" can also evolve again.

The power of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire is very special; I had already seen it before in the Purple Shattered Ruins.

Not only can it summon magical beasts, but it can also enslave their souls, extract their spirits, and use them for its own purposes.

Don't underestimate it just because it's ranked second to last on the list of strange flames.

That's just that people don't know its true power.

If used properly, one person can form an army, equivalent to a top-notch beast taming master.

Beastmasters are a relatively common, but not very popular, profession on the continent.

Han Feng knew of several famous beast-taming sects, but most of their sect leaders were mediocre in strength and relied mainly on the combat power of their magical beasts.

Some cultivators specialize in selling unhatched young magical beasts. They can roughly estimate the potential of a magical beast based on its breed and bloodline. After buying it, they can tame it from a young age and have a powerful magical beast guard it when it grows up.

However, this process is extremely lengthy, requires enormous resources, and also carries the risk of being devoured by its master.

This led to inventions such as the Beast Taming Ring and Beast Taming Seal, which improved the means of controlling magical beasts.

The "Soul-Controlling Needle" that Han Feng used many times before was a similar move, but it had the drawback of not lasting long.

The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire is very powerful; its ability allows it to control magical beasts for extended periods, and it can even control hundreds or thousands of magical beasts simultaneously without any problem.

With the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, the ability to explore the Beast Realm would be greatly increased.

Because ordinary magical beasts have difficulty resisting the burning of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, of course, one must also be careful of being targeted by magical beast families.

After a brief period of seclusion, Han Feng arrived outside the camp. The camp was much emptier now, exuding a desolate atmosphere.

Han Feng found a soldier and asked him for information.

"My lord, a large number of evil beasts have suddenly appeared in the Purple Shattered Ruins, and most of the army has been mobilized."

Han Feng nodded.

Even without the evil fire, the evil beasts in the Purple Shattered Ruins continued to emerge, recklessly charging towards the exit.

This situation is unusual, unless there is a more powerful entity controlling everything behind the scenes.

Han Feng found Wenren Xuan, who had recovered and started working again.

"Brother Han, you're out."

"Ah."

Han Feng walked to Wenren Xuan's side and saw that he was dealing with military intelligence.

"how is the situation?"

"It's not very optimistic. I only rested for two days, and when the results came out, I found that the situation had completely changed."

Wenren Xuan's expression darkened slightly.

“When we came back, we had the upper hand, but after several days of fighting, the evil beasts advanced instead of retreating, and the Imperial soldiers were almost at their breaking point.”

Han Feng looked serious.

At this point, they have to hold on even if they can't hold on. Once they retreat, the attacks of the evil beasts will only become more frenzied, and in the end, it may even lead to a situation like the evil beasts attacking Yuguan City during the founding war.

That's the really serious thing.

At least for now, the evil beasts haven't been able to break through the Purple Shattered Ruins exit.

"How did His Majesty handle it?"

"We dispatched a puppet army in an attempt to launch a surprise attack on the high-level evil beasts in the rear, but the effect was not significant."

Han Feng nodded.

The Empress wanted to find the enemy hidden deep within the Purple Shattered Ruins. Only by knowing the enemy's true identity could she know who the target was.

Otherwise, this war will be difficult to stop.

Han Feng originally did not want to get involved in too much of the war, but given the current situation, he could no longer stand idly by.

If Han Feng simply took the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire and left, he would feel guilty.

After learning about the latest situation from Wenren Xuan, Han Feng approached Yao Tianhuo.

The old man's face had lost its usual liveliness, and was somewhat somber, as if the war had washed over him.

They could have simply left, and no one would have said anything.

Even the Empress would only be grateful for their achievement in resolving the evil fire.

"Elder Yao, I plan to stay and help."

Yao Tianhuo sighed.

"I knew you wouldn't stand idly by."

Han Feng smiled and asked, "And you?"

"Of course I'll go with you, didn't I already promise?"

Yaotianhuo was straightforward.

"Alright, let's go all out this time," Han Feng said.

Yao Tianhu stretched, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"To be honest, I've never fought such a tough battle before. Do you have any idea how to win?"

Han Feng didn't answer, and in truth, he wasn't very confident either.

"There will always be a way to solve this, don't worry. If there's really no other way, I'll lead you to retreat. In short, I won't leave my life here."

Yao Tianhuo thought of Han Feng's strange method of traversing space and nodded.

Han Feng's ability to escape is indeed first-rate, far surpassing even that of a Dou Zun.

"Speaking of which, were you prepared when you devoured the strange fire? That Myriad Beast Spirit Fire is not comparable to the Fallen Heart Flame; it's a true eighth-tier flame."

Han Feng's own cultivation level has not even reached Dou Zun, yet he wants to devour a Dou Zun-level strange fire. The danger involved is far greater than when he devoured a Dou Zong-level Fallen Heart Flame during his Dou Huang era.

"Of course we were prepared."

The Myriad Beast Spirit Fire was a goal Han Feng set when he came out of the Heavenly Mountain Blood Pool. With so much time having passed, how could Han Feng not be prepared?

He hadn't known the true strength of the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire before, but now he did.

To refine this level of Myriad Beast Spirit Fire, a Grade 7 high-grade pill is the minimum, and a Grade 8 pill would be even better.

During his time cultivating in the Valley of Medicine Saints, Han Feng not only refined the Bone-Growing and Blood-Melting Pill for Yao Tianhuo, but also refined an auxiliary pill for himself.

Nine Spirits Mysterious Pill.

The Eighth Grade Four-Colored Dan Lei Pill, made by combining nine different Grade Seven spiritual herbs, has miraculous effects. It can help the body refine foreign energy, absorb it perfectly, and reduce the loss of energy.

If consumed in conjunction with other spiritual items during a level breakthrough, there is a high probability of breaking through the barrier and advancing further.

This is a precious pill that is useful even to Dou Zun level experts. Han Feng plans to use it to help him refine the Myriad Beast Spirit Fire.

"That's good. Only you could succeed in refining different kinds of strange fire."

Yao Tianhuo said with an envious tone.
