Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

The hour is approaching.

Above the sky, the stars shone brightly. Suddenly, nine stars floated in from all directions, slowly converging at the top of the sky. They formed a line along an ancient trajectory, like the eye of heaven and earth, looking down upon the world from the void.

Those nine stars each displayed one of nine kinds of radiance: metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, and darkness. When they intersected, it was as if the world had just been created, with starlight pouring into the heavens and earth, causing all things to tremble.

At the moment the stars converged, an ancient hum faintly echoed across the entire Dou Qi Continent, as if it came from a distant starry sea, awakening some slumbering being.

At the same time, deep in the Western Regions, the silent, gray wasteland suddenly trembled. A blurry black shadow rose from the ground, like a sealed demon opening its eyes. A breathtaking heat burst forth from the depths of the earth!

Starfall Pavilion.

At the top of the Star Tower, Han Feng gazed at the moment when the nine stars aligned in the sky, his brows furrowing with a divine light.

"coming."

He spoke softly, and a phantom of his soul unfolded behind him. The radiance of the nine stars intertwined with his soul, and ancient inscriptions appeared in the void, faintly drawing upon some special power.

Inside the Star Tower, countless disciples gazed at the starry sky, their minds trembling, their souls involuntarily quivering slightly.

Yao Chen looked up at the sky, his expression gradually becoming solemn: "This level of celestial phenomenon has already involved the operation of the Heavenly Dao... No wonder the Pure Lotus Demon Flame was born because of this."

Zhongzhou, an ancient ethnic group.

Gu Yuan stood on the cloud platform, wearing a hemp robe, his radiance subdued.

The moment the nine stars aligned, his eyes narrowed, and the complete star trail was reflected in his pupils.

"It's here... a once-in-a-millennium opportunity."

He slowly turned around, looked outside the hall, and gave the order: "Have Xun'er prepare to set off immediately to go to the Western Regions on my behalf and see if this strange fire is as extraordinary as the rumors say."

South of the Vermilion Bird Mountain.

At the summit, a phantom of a Vermilion Bird soared into the sky. The Empress, dressed in a red robe, stood with her hands behind her back, gazing at the starry sky and murmuring, "The nine stars are aligned... the prophetic phenomenon has truly arrived."

Beside her, an old man asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, shall we set off?"

"Let's wait and see."

With the current anomalies unclear, her primary task is to monitor the situation in demonic caves across the continent. If a large amount of demonic energy descends, she must detect it immediately to prevent further trouble.

Soul Clan - Underworld Palace.

As the nine stars aligned and rose, the Netherworld Fire Sea deep within the Netherworld Palace churned violently, and a figure wreathed in black flames slowly opened his eyes.

"Is Jinglian finally waking up?"

The man's voice was deep and carried a strange aura that did not belong to the Dou Qi Continent.

Behind him, a dark crack appeared in the void, from which a sinister golden eye peered into the mortal realm.

"Lord Void, should we... take action?"

"Let's hold back for now." The Shadow of Black Flame sneered. "This time, it's not just us who are eyeing it... Let them make the first move, and we can simply sit back and reap the benefits."

Western Regions, on the edge of the ruins of the Pure Lotus Demon Saint.

This place is the one that receives the most direct impact from the starlight.

An ancient array that was originally sealed suddenly opened with a roar, the ground cracked, and a large amount of scorching spiritual energy surged out, like a white dragon churning, turning the night sky pure white.

"The barrier is about to break!"

"Quickly—the entrance/exit is about to appear!"

"The alignment of the nine stars is complete! First come, first served!"

Powerful figures from various factions set off, their battle qi beams illuminating this ancient wasteland.

In an instant, the night sky over the Western Regions was filled with turbulent winds and a pervasive sense of impending doom.

----------

"Teacher, I'm leaving now."

Han Feng looked at Yao Chen, who had come to his side, and said.

"Go."

Yao Chen only said two words.

The next second, Han Feng's figure disappeared from the spot, and a slight spatial tremor echoed, as if nothing had happened.

Han Feng traveled at full speed. Having made preparations in advance, he arrived at the edge of the Demon Flame Ruins a few seconds later.

However, he was not the first to arrive.

Outside the Demon Flame Space, a man dressed in a black robe stood high in the sky, exuding a restrained yet terrifying aura.

"Soul...Extinction...Life!"

Han Feng's pupils contracted slightly.

The high-ranking member of the Soul Clan whom he had killed has now appeared before him unharmed, and his cultivation level has even improved to the sixth-star Dou Sheng!

Hun Miesheng glanced at Han Feng indifferently, then a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"Have the Starfall Pavilion members gotten involved in this too?"

Han Feng took a deep breath and began to think about the Soul Clan's Reincarnation Platform.

The Heavenly Fire Venerable had told her about this before, but the Soul Clan's schemes were so deep that it was unlikely to stop them.

Now, Han Feng was witnessing the strangeness of the Reincarnation Platform for the first time.

The feeling of having an enemy you once killed come back to life is truly unpleasant.

However, he had also used a secret method to revive Yao Chen, so it's not surprising that the Soul Clan possesses similar methods.

Han Feng withdrew his gaze, his mind alert, but he wasn't actually panicked.

Even if Hun Miesheng were to be resurrected using a secret technique and become stronger, I could easily deal with him now.

Let's settle everything here within the Demon Flame Space.

Whizzing!

Several more figures flew in from the sky.

They are from an ancient tribe.

"Mr. Han!"

When Gu Xun'er saw Han Feng, her eyes lit up with joy, but she didn't show it. She just glanced at him and then looked away.

Back at the Starfall Pavilion, Han Feng had already informed her that he would be participating in the opportunity of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame's birth. He told her that if they met then, she didn't need to act too familiar with him, lest she be targeted by other parties.

Han Feng's purpose for this trip was simple: to quietly obtain the opportunity; everything else was irrelevant.

Hun Miesheng glanced at Gu Xun'er, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"The young lady of the ancient clan has actually come... The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame is also a supreme strange flame."

As he spoke, wisps of black flame appeared in Hun Miesheng's pupils, and the power of the Void Flame seemed to be unable to be suppressed because of this greed.

boom!

Another powerful aura descended from the sky.

The Yan Clan.

The Yan Clan delegation was escorted by a mid-level Dou Sheng elder and brought with them two Yan Clan prodigies, both of whom they had met before at the ancient clan's coming-of-age ceremony.

Han Feng smiled gently.

"Eight Desolate Annihilation Flame..."

He sensed the sixth-ranked strange fire on the Strange Fire Ranking from one of the Yan Clan's prodigies.

The people from various ethnic groups who came this time are all quite powerful.

It seems to be even more excessive than in the previous life.

I don't know what caused the change.

Soon, the Medicine Clan also arrived with their people. The newcomers were none other than Yao Wangui, who had been beaten up by Han Feng before, as well as the two prodigies of the Medicine Clan, Yao Ling and Yao Tian!

Han Feng had seen these two names in previous intelligence reports.

Yao Tian is the most outstanding young person in the Yao Clan. His soul power has reached the late stage of the Heaven Realm. In addition, he once consumed a precious pill that was almost able to become a ninth-grade Xuan Dan. His strength has reached the mid-stage of a one-star Dou Sheng. He can be considered the most brilliant person in the Yao Clan. It is said that he once successfully refined a ninth-grade precious pill.

Through a series of fortunate coincidences, Yao Tian has become even stronger than Yao Chen, Han Feng's teacher.

However, from another perspective, Yao Tian has received a large influx of resources from the Yao Clan, and is now only slightly stronger than Yao Chen, so he can hardly be considered a genius.

In Han Feng's eyes, the woman named Yao Ling was more interesting.

Although Yao Ling's strength is only at the initial half-saint level, her soul is extraordinary. She is considered by the Yao clan to be the most likely person to cultivate her soul to the "Emperor Realm".

This speculation stems from Yao Ling's unique physique, which is not specifically recorded in intelligence reports.

When Han Feng first heard about it, he was genuinely curious and wanted to discuss with her what was so special about her that made her seem like she had the potential to break through to the "Emperor Realm".

Perhaps an opportunity lies within the Demon Flame Space.

However, before Han Feng could take any action, the Medicine Clan made their move first.

When Yao Tian's gaze swept over Han Feng's clothes bearing the Starfall Pavilion's logo, a mocking look immediately appeared in his eyes.

"Why are those good-for-nothings from the Starfall Pavilion getting involved in this competition for strange flames?"

Upon hearing this, Han Feng's gaze turned cold.

Not content with his initial statement, Yao Tian continued, "Your sect leader is a disgraced disciple of my Yao clan. As his followers, what should we call him?"

Gu Xun'er's eyes flashed with a sharp, cold light, and golden flames flickered at her fingertips. She seemed ready to teach Yao Tian, ​​this scum who had insulted Mr. Han, a lesson!

However, Han Feng had already taken action at this point.

Suddenly, a long whip formed from golden light flew out and struck Yao Tian's mouth at an incredibly tricky angle.

"what!"

Faced with the golden whip, Yao Tian had no way to dodge. His cultivation as a Dou Sheng was completely useless. He was struck hard and let out a painful scream.

"You are so brave!"

Yao Tian was whipped so hard that blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He staggered back several feet, his face instantly turning bright red. He glared at Han Feng with a mixture of shock and anger.

As he roared, his fighting spirit surged wildly within him, and a phantom image of a precious pill appeared around him, with profound pill patterns flowing across it. It was none other than his proudest pill-forming phenomenon—the "Ninth-Grade Precious Pill Phenomenon"!

Han Feng simply smiled faintly, his expression calm, not even glancing at him directly: "You spew filth, who else should I hit if not you?"

Before he finished speaking, the Xuanhuang Flame rose up behind him, its golden flames scorching the sky. A vast and powerful flame pressure suddenly pressed down, shattering the pill energy that Yao Tian had just gathered!

"You—" Yao Tian's expression changed drastically, and his breathing became slightly disordered.

Standing beside him, Yao Ling frowned slightly, her gaze fixed on Han Feng. She did not rush to make a move, but instead showed a hint of scrutiny and curiosity.

"Is he Han Feng?" Yao Ling murmured softly, a rare glint in her eyes. "Indeed... he's not quite like the rumors."

Although Han Feng, the champion of this year's Alchemy Tournament, is not recognized by the Medicine Clan, he is still of interest to some within the clan.

After all, the fact that they had seemingly refined a ninth-grade elixir was already quite remarkable news.

There are countless ninth-grade alchemists on the mainland; are they not rare?

The key point is that previous alchemy gatherings only had eighth-grade alchemy, but now a ninth-grade alchemy has emerged, which can be considered a sudden rise.

Previously, the news Yao Ling heard about Han Feng in the clan was all fabricated. Now that she has seen him with her own eyes, she has realized how extraordinary he is.

Although it was somewhat impolite, Yao Ling had never seen an outsider beat her brother up like this before.

Yao Wangui's cold gaze suddenly fell on Han Feng.

Having been severely injured by Han Feng, who was using the alias "The Pharmacist of the Soul-Slaying Division," Yao Wangui did not immediately step forward this time, but instead went through a more scrutinizing process.

"Your Excellency, you are far too disrespectful to my Medicine Clan."

As he spoke, he prepared to teach Han Feng, a junior who had just entered the Dou Sheng realm, a lesson.

However, at that moment, a deafening roar erupted from the sky!

"The Demon Flame Space has been opened!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise, and the powerful figures from all the major forces all focused their gazes and became solemn.

After being continuously scorched by the demonic fire, that space finally tore open.
