I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 570 Escape
South Zhenhai, Minyan Continent.

To the northwest, deep within the Hanyou Mountains, which were once covered in ice and snow, ravaged by cold winds, and difficult for birds to cross, now magma surges, firelight illuminates the sky, and it is as hot as a furnace.

Nearly a hundred people stood around the lava lake.

These nearly one hundred people, mostly gathered in groups of three or five, were either Nascent Soul cultivators or Divine Transformation Ancestors.

They would occasionally glance at the churning lava lake, their eyes revealing a complex mix of fervor and fear.

Yesterday, several Nascent Soul cultivators, skilled in fire-based techniques and confident in their profound abilities and powerful magical artifacts, joined forces to enter the lava lake.

One of them was a second-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

So far, no one has come out.

It's not hard to imagine that the fire at the bottom of this lava lake must be extraordinary. If it could be subdued and refined into a magic weapon, its power would be astonishing once unleashed, capable of killing enemies of higher levels and withstanding heavenly tribulations!
Therefore, the failure of those Nascent Soul cultivators to return both terrified them and further fueled their greed.

No one wanted to leave like that.

Perhaps someone happens to have the special means or rare treasure to collect this fire, but their cultivation level is not high enough?
Even with profound cultivation, once he collects the fire seed, he will inevitably be exhausted or even seriously injured.

By staying here, they have the opportunity to reap the benefits of others' misfortunes.

Ji Wufeng also stood by the lake.

He would glance at the lava lake for a while, then turn back to gaze into the distance.

His thoughts were much simpler than those who stayed here, wanting the spark but not daring to enter the lava lake, hoping to reap the benefits without contributing anything.

He stayed here just to keep an eye on the flame.

Whether the spark remains at the bottom of the lava lake or is taken away, as long as Xia Daoming knows where the spark is when he arrives, his mission is complete.

Suddenly, the people by the lake all changed their expressions and turned to look southwest.

From that direction, flames surged like a rising tide, rushing towards them from the horizon.

Amidst the raging sea of ​​flames, a giant fiery bird spreads its wings and soars into the sky.

Atop the giant bird stood a woman with a red crown and dressed in red, looking around with disdain.

More than ten cultivators rode their magical lights to clear the way and protect the large bird from all sides.

Those dozen or so cultivators were all Nascent Soul cultivators, and their aura was overwhelming.

Before the fiery bird even arrived, two Nascent Soul cultivators had already taken the lead, their flames streaking across the sky like rainbows and hovering above the lava lake.

"The Inspector of Nanzhen Jishan has ordered that all Nascent Soul cultivators and First Tribulation Nascent Soul cultivators must retreat and are not allowed to set foot in Hanyou Mountain. All others must remain and await further orders!"

Upon hearing this, all the cultivators surrounding the lava lake changed their expressions.

Those cultivators who were asked to stay behind were especially pale-faced, their eyes filled with fear and anger.

Those who can physically survive the Heavenly Tribulation, or those who have survived one Heavenly Tribulation and undergone the Second Tribulation to become Nascent Soul cultivators, are all exceptionally talented. How could they not understand what it means to stay and obey orders?
They must be sent into the lava lake to explore and perhaps even collect the seeds of fire!
If you risk your life for yourself, you can't blame anyone else if you die.

But this time, risking their lives, they were only doing the work for someone else...

How could they be willing to accept this? How could they not be angry?
However, the Inspector of Jishan in Nanzhen held a high position and wielded great power. Once the order was given, they had no choice but to obey.

Otherwise, you'll only die faster!

Even if he manages to break through and escape this time, under the wrath of the inspector, not only will his sect or family be wiped out, but he himself will also find it difficult to escape the pursuit of Nanzhen Jishan!

Because the Nascent Soul cultivators here today are all prominent figures who have been famous for hundreds or even thousands of years in the Minyan Continent and the surrounding area.

There is probably only one person like Ji Wufeng, who comes from a very distant place and is still unknown.

So, after their initial shock and anger, they all resigned themselves to their fate.

Only Ji Wufeng, upon receiving the order, transformed into a dazzling blade of light without hesitation, tearing through the void in the opposite direction of the surging sea of ​​fire.

"Be bold!"

On the giant bird, the woman in red robes and a crimson crown frowned upon seeing this. From more than ten miles away, she flicked her finger at Ji Wufeng. A beam of fire shot out, instantly transforming into a crimson wing that blotted out the sky.

The crimson wings, like giant fire blades, tore through the void and arrived above Silent Peak in the blink of an eye.

A terrifying heatwave and shadows enveloped Silent Peak.

Ji Wufeng's gaze was cold and sharp, showing no sign of panic, and his sword intent suddenly erupted.

A high-pitched dragon roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

A jet-black broadsword was drawn and slashed upwards. A black dragon phantom appeared in the blade's light, raising its claws and roaring angrily. It was proud, domineering, and would never yield, determined to fight against fate!

Black Dragon Blade!

Xia Daoming confiscated a powerful magical artifact from the Dragon Clan's palace and bestowed it upon Ji Wufeng as a tool for overcoming tribulation.

boom--!
The Black Dragon Blade forcefully tore apart the crimson wings that were obscuring its view, then wrapped around the Silent Edge and soared into the sky.

A few drops of blood fell from the sky.

Ji Wufeng was ultimately only a first-stage cultivator and not a genius. He had reached this point because of his unwavering Dao heart, which far surpassed that of ordinary people, and the great opportunity of meeting a wise ruler. The woman, on the other hand, was a fifth-stage cultivator who had undergone the disintegration of his physical body. The difference in their cultivation levels was too great.

Even if the woman only strikes from a distance, he cannot withstand it and will be injured instantly.

"what!"

A look of surprise flashed across the woman's eyes upon seeing this, then her expression turned cold. She reached out and grabbed the fiery bird at her feet, gaining a fiery feather, which she then casually tossed towards Ji Wufeng.

The fire feather then transformed into a large fiery bird, flapping its wings and chasing after Ji Wufeng.

The fiery bird was extremely fast and quickly caught up with Ji Wufeng.

But just as the fiery bird was about to catch up with Ji Wufeng, a faint light suddenly flashed on Ji Wufeng's body, and then two identical Ji Wufengs appeared in the air.

One of them was transformed from the Xuanfu Sect's secret talisman technique—the Incarnation Talisman.

This talisman is very mysterious. Once it is used, it has flesh and blood and is almost exactly the same as the real body. There is no difference between them. However, not only are the materials required extremely precious, but the production is also time-consuming and laborious. It needs to be nurtured with blood and qi for at least a hundred years. The longer it is nurtured with blood and qi, the greater its power. But once it is used, it will be destroyed.

Ji Wufeng once had one, but it was destroyed in the battle against the two Lords of the Fallen Soul Abyss in the Saha Ruins.

Later, Ji Wufeng became a disciple of Xia Daoming and obtained many opportunities. He gathered enough materials to refine the incarnation talisman, so he spared no expense to make one and nourished it day and night with his qi and blood, preparing to use it to withstand several heavenly lightning strikes in place of his true body in the future.

Later, after Xia Daoming returned from Beizhenlu Mountain, he bestowed upon him the opportunity to transcend tribulation. He saved the incarnation talisman that he had carefully prepared for hundreds of years, and used it today.

The two Ji Wufeng fled rapidly in different directions.

The fiery bird paused for a moment, then chased after one of the silent warriors.

In the blink of an eye, it caught up, and its fiery wings, like blazing swords cleaving the sky, slashed fiercely at his waist.

At the same time, his other wing flapped suddenly, and streaks of fire feathers shot out, like a rain of fire that enveloped the entire space around him.

Clearly, this action aims not only to destroy his physical body but also his primordial spirit, preventing it from having any chance to separate and escape.

"Stab!"

"Ji Wufeng" was cut in half at the waist.

No primordial spirit escaped; only streams of blood energy transformed into torrential rain, scattering across the sky, and a black dragon blade slid down.

"Capture him alive! I'll make him wish he were dead!"

Seeing that Ji Wufeng had actually left, the woman felt humiliated and enraged, and gave a stern order.

"Yes!"

The two Nascent Soul cultivators who had just given the order transformed into two streaks of rainbow light and soared into the direction where Ji Wufeng had just disappeared.

　That concludes today's update.
