I conquer the immortal with my strength.

Chapter 756 Heading to
"Just as I suspected!" Xia Daoming frowned upon hearing this, his expression grave, struggling to make a decision.

For him, so many fragments and debris were an incredible opportunity.

However, if he were to collect and refine the fragments, he would inevitably have to confront the demonic energy left behind by the Demon Emperor!

The Demon Emperor is an existence on the same level as the Fire Ancestor Zhu Rong.

The last bit of primordial fire left behind by the Fire Ancestor Zhurong almost caused him to burn himself while playing with fire, resulting in his death and the dissipation of his Dao.

It is easy to imagine how dangerous it would be to face the demonic energy left behind by so many demon emperors.

Of course, drawing fire into the body for absorption and refinement is different from fighting against the Demon Emperor's demonic energy outside the body.

Otherwise, with so much demonic energy of the Demon Emperor sealed within the fragments of the Heavenly Palace, Xia Daoming wouldn't have dared to even consider collecting and refining them.

Right now, he's only had the idea; he can't make up his mind yet.

He was somewhat confident in his ability to capture and refine the Fire Ancestor Zhurong, and he also had a way to save himself by sacrificing the pawns: if he really couldn't suppress the fire, he could simply abandon the six True Fire Orbs and suffer a great loss of his own energy.

But once you directly confront the Demon Emperor's demonic energy, it's either him or you who will perish, with no way out.

Just as Xia Daoming was struggling to make a decision, his heart suddenly started beating faster for no reason, and an indescribable feeling of palpitation and anxiety spread throughout his body in an instant.

Even the blurry figure in the Purple Mansion trembled violently, unable to stabilize itself, and showed signs of collapsing.

He tried desperately to control the sudden surge of palpitations and anxiety, but to no avail.

"What's going on?" Xia Daoming was shocked.

This feeling of losing control was something I had never experienced before, even when I was forced into exile in the chaotic space for thousands of years.

Just as Xia Daoming was shocked, the dark, abyss-like aura, filled with eerie twists, coldness, and violence, suddenly surged, shattering several fragments of the Heavenly Palace in succession. Even the dilapidated foundation of the Heavenly Palace showed shocking cracks, as if it was about to collapse.

“Master, if this continues, the power of the Demon Emperor’s aura will very likely eventually break through the seal and suppression of the Heavenly Palace fragments. Once the power of the Demon Emperor’s aura breaks out, not only will this world of primordial fragments be devastated and turned into a demonic realm, but this demonic realm will also inevitably break through the spatial rift and sweep through and demonize the entire Chijiang Prefecture, unless a top-tier Golden Immortal of the Myriad Laws Realm or a Golden Immortal of the Returning Origin Realm arrives in time to suppress and seal it!” Huo Wutong, whose mind was connected to Xia Daoming, also “saw” the astonishing scene and said in a solemn tone.

"So, regardless of whether top-tier Golden Immortals of the Myriad Laws Realm or Golden Immortals of the Returning Origin Realm can arrive in time, Biyuan County and Yuntai County will be the first to be affected and will definitely not escape!" Xia Daoming's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

“That’s for sure!” Huo Wutong said.

"No wonder I felt uncontrollable palpitations and anxiety. Sealing that wisp of demonic energy was the purest instinct of Zhu Rong's remaining primordial fire. I absorbed and refined a wisp of Zhu Rong's primordial fire, and thus inherited this instinct!"

It sensed the crisis, and because of it, I instinctively sensed that this calamity would lead to widespread destruction and the demise of Master Yue, Xingyi, and others. That's why it acted so abnormally!

Xia Daoming suddenly realized what was happening, his heart heavy and bitter.

The issue is no longer whether he goes to collect and refine other Heavenly Palace fragments.

The real question is how to collect, refine, and destroy that mass of demonic energy from the Demon Emperor.

Because ever since he absorbed and refined that wisp of primordial fire from Zhu Rong, he has taken on the mission of absorbing and refining that wisp of primordial fire.

If he fails to complete this mission, his Dao heart will be flawed, and he will be unable to forge the Crimson Heaven again. When the great calamity comes in the future, he will inevitably be plagued by inner demons.

Of course, he couldn't just sit idly by and do nothing about his elders, fellow disciples, and countless beings in the Earthly Immortal Realm!
"There really is no such thing as a free lunch!" Xia Daoming shook his head with a wry smile, trying to relieve the pressure on his heavy and bitter mood.

"Master, are you really going?" Huo Wutong asked solemnly.

“That’s right!” Xia Daoming said calmly, his gaze firm.

Since it's unavoidable, we must forge ahead!

"You're going to have to go all out this time!" Xia Daoming said in a deep voice.

"I understand!" Huo Wutong sensed Xia Daoming's determination, and her tone became firm. "Let's go, I'll guide you!" Xia Daoming said in a deep voice.

Since that wisp of Zhurong's primordial fire could sense its companions, it naturally knew where they were.

"Yes!"

The fire sycamore responded, its roots, like writhing dragons, piercing through layers of shattered space, its branches and leaves surging, and a sea of ​​fire roaring.

The next moment, the Fire Phoenix Tree, along with Xia Daoming beneath its canopy, appeared on the outer edge of the sealed area.

Under the heavy protection of the tree canopy, the twelve divine weapons, and the purple aura of the Purple Palace, Xia Daoming was no longer sensing or peeking at illusory scenes from a distant void, but was actually standing on the edge of this area that sealed off the Demon Emperor's remnants of power.

Only when he stood still did he truly understand why that mass of demonic energy from the Demon Emperor, even across the vast void, could instinctively send chills down his soul.

It wasn't cold in terms of temperature.

Rather, it is a kind of oppression on a higher level, a sense of powerlessness when faced with an absolutely powerful being, where even the thought of resistance is crushed.

Even though this place was surrounded and sealed by dozens of fragments of the Heavenly Palace, that aura still surged silently in the void like an undercurrent, seeping out little by little.

The moment Xia Daoming's Heavenly Eye Divine Power touched it, the purple-gold single eye between his eyebrows felt a sharp pain, and tears flowed uncontrollably, as if being burned by invisible smoke.

Within the Crimson Palace, the twelve divine weapons simultaneously stirred, causing the originally freely flowing energy to become stagnant and disordered.

This is suppression based on rank.

Even if only ashes remain of the Demon Emperor's power, it still holds an extremely high position for Xia Daoming today.

If it weren't for the Purple Mansion guarding his soul and his stable Dao heart, just one glance would have been enough to cause his mind to collapse and him to be defeated without a fight.

The roots of the fire sycamore tentatively penetrated the sealed-off area.

However, as soon as the roots entered that space, the flames burning on them were instantly extinguished, and the crimson roots quickly turned into a deathly black.

Fire Phoenix Tree was startled and quickly and forcefully cut off the root at the front end.

"No wonder the Demon Emperor was able to destroy the Fire Ancestor's Crimson Heaven..."

Huo Wutong's voice trembled, "Once tainted by the Demon Emperor's aura, my flames are simply unable to withstand it and can only be abandoned."

“It is indeed powerful! But in the end, it is just the residual demonic power of the Demon Emperor, which has been sealed by the fragments of the Fire Ancestor Chi Chen Du Tian for a long time. I absorbed and refined a wisp of the Fire Ancestor's original true fire, which was then drawn here by fate. As long as we plan carefully, I believe we can destroy it!” Xia Daoming said in a deep voice, his tone revealing strong confidence.

Having said that, he withdrew his gaze from the depths, and his Heavenly Eye Divine Power began to slowly sweep across the fragments that surrounded and sealed the Demon Emperor's demonic energy.

Upon glancing at him, Xia Daoming's face revealed a thoughtful expression.

These fragments all contain the primordial fire left behind by Zhu Rong.

But each fragment relies solely on the most primal instinct left behind by Zhu Rong to suppress demons upon seeing them and prevent them from escaping.

They had only a very weak connection with each other, with no unifying force, like a pile of loose sand.

Because of this, over the long years, the fragments left behind by Chi Chen Du Tian not only failed to truly extinguish this demonic aura of the Demon Emperor, but instead, with its continuous impact, they became increasingly fragmented and were gradually consumed.

"No wonder there was such a big commotion this time! If this continues, just as Huo Wutong said, this mass of demonic energy will break through the blockade! It seems we must find a way to organize this scattered remnant power of the Fire Ancestor in order to extinguish this mass of demonic energy." Xia Daoming lowered his head and pondered.

　That concludes today's update.
