Honghuang: Fire De Huaguang, I am the Horse King of Human Education

This pure light flowed with the unique rhythm of the Shangqing Immortal Law. Although it was as thin as a cicada's wing, it kept out the terrifying high temperature that was enough to melt gold and iron and burn away the primordial spirit!
It was the Shangqing Immortal Qi, a direct descendant of the Jie Sect, that protected his body!

"Yun Zhongzi! Your Divine Fire Pillar is nothing special!"

Wen Zhong's hair and beard stood on end, his eyes flashed like lightning. While resisting the impact of the sea of ​​fire, he also activated his primordial spirit. The vertical line on his forehead opened and closed faintly, and his divine sense swept over the eight pillars of divine fire!
He was searching! Searching for the core of this grand formation, searching for the one and only life-giving gate!
Once he finds the core of the formation, with his peak Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation and combined with the Shangqing Immortal Technique, he might be able to break through the formation!

"Hmph! Grand Tutor Wen, what arrogance you have!"

Yun Zhongzi stood above the sea of ​​fire, surrounded by a clear light, unaffected by the flames.

His face was grim. He was shocked and furious as he watched Wen Zhong withstand the attack of the eight divine flames and even have the strength to find the array's core.
Wen Zhong's cultivation was even more profound than he had expected!

In particular, the protective Shangqing Immortal Qi was extremely pure and could withstand the burning of eight flames!
"Let's see how long you can hold out!"

A fierce glint flashed in Yun Zhongzi's eyes, and he stomped his foot!

The eight fire dragons roared deafeningly, and instead of spewing flames, they suddenly coiled themselves around their respective pillars of divine fire!

The dragon's scales rubbed against the bronze pillar, producing a piercing metallic scraping sound! Then!

boom! boom! boom! boom!
Under Yun Zhongzi's control, the eight pillars of divine fire that reached the heavens suddenly exploded!
Countless fragments of the burning bronze pillars scattered and flew everywhere!
The eight fire dragons, freed from the pillar's restraints, instantly transformed into eight giant fire dragons, each a thousand feet long and of different shapes!

They are no longer phantoms clinging to the pillars, but have completely unleashed their essence, transforming into eight pure and violent flames!

Crimson, dark blue, blazing white, pitch black... the eight-colored flame dragon roared and swirled, completely filling the entire space!

The flames were no longer scattered attacks, but merged into a boundless, viscous ocean of fire!

The space has been completely compressed!
The lightning shield around Wen Zhong was squeezed so hard it creaked, and the Shangqing Immortal Qi shield also fluctuated violently! The space for movement was compressed to less than ten zhang in diameter!
"Wen Zhong! This is a death formation! I am the core of the formation! This space itself is the core of the formation! You have nowhere to escape! You will be refined into ashes!"

Yun Zhongzi's voice was icy, tinged with cruel pleasure.

"Give up! Your struggle will only make your death more painful!"

Wen Zhong's face turned ashen!

He felt unprecedented pressure!
The viscous, lava-like sea of ​​flames, carrying the terrifying power of the law of incineration, continuously eroded his protective immortal light!

The space was compressed to the extreme, making even moving around difficult!
What's even more terrifying is that after the eight fire dragons unleashed their power, their auras became interconnected, circulating endlessly and forming a unified whole, making it impossible to find any obvious flaws!

Yun Zhongzi is right, the core of this array is this space itself!

There is no way to survive unless the entire space is destroyed!
"Trapped here... Chaoge... the Great Shang Dynasty..."

Wen Zhong's mind raced. His master's decree was a lie! This was a conspiracy by the Chan Sect against him and against the Great Shang!

If he were trapped and died here, Chaoge City would lose his presence, and that old scoundrel Antarctic Immortal would still be in the city... The consequences would be unimaginable!
We must get out of this predicament as soon as possible!

With this thought in mind, Wen Zhong's eyes filled with determination!

He abruptly closed his eyes, and the vertical line between his brows suddenly lit up!

An aura of profound mystery, seemingly transcending the rules, emanated from between his brows!
This aura was neither Shangqing Immortal Technique nor his own lightning technique, but rather... the power of laws!
It was the thunderous power that Hua Guang had previously gifted, containing the origin of the law of destruction!
"what?!"

Yun Zhongzi's smug expression froze instantly, replaced by unbelievable horror!

"The power of laws?! You... how could a Grand Luo Golden Immortal possibly control the laws?! This is impossible!"

Wen Zhong ignored his shock.

He focused all his attention on the source of the law between his eyebrows!
The vertical lines on his forehead, like a third eye, slowly opened!

There were no eyeballs, only a deep, dark expanse that seemed to devour all light!

Dark lightning was brewing and roaring within it!
"break--!"

Wen Zhong suddenly opened his eyes! From the vertical eye between his brows, a terrifying bolt of lightning, condensed to the extreme, as black as ink, yet containing the power to destroy all order, shot out silently!

This bolt of lightning had no earth-shattering power, no dazzling light, only pure and ultimate destruction!

Ignoring the viscous sea of ​​flames and the barriers of space, it instantly pierced through layers of flame barriers and slammed into the walls of space!

A crisp yet chilling cracking sound rang out!

The seemingly indestructible spatial barrier, which had been forged into a bright red by the eight divine fires, was actually torn open by this jet-black lightning, leaving a huge crack several feet long!
At the edge of the crack, a spiderweb-like fissure spread through space! A violent, chaotic current rushed in from outside the crack!

"puff!"

Wen Zhong groaned, his third eye instantly closed, and a streak of bright red blood flowed down his nose!

Forcibly activating the power of laws far exceeding one's own level resulted in extremely severe backlash!

But a startling light flashed in his eyes! There was hope! This great formation was not unbreakable!

"Do not--!"

Yun Zhongzi let out a terrified scream!

He watched helplessly as the jet-black lightning tore through the spatial barrier, and a monstrous wave surged within him!

Wen Zhong actually managed to shake the spatial barrier of the Heavenly Fire Pillar?! How is that possible?!
That was his prized possession, the treasure he was so proud of!
What terrified him even more was the power of the laws contained within the dark lightning, which made him feel a deadly threat!

"We can't let him out! Absolutely not!"

Yun Zhongzi's eyes were filled with madness!

He bit his tongue hard and spat out a mouthful of blood!

His essence blood was not sprinkled into the great formation, but merged into a warm jade pendant in his arms!

The jade pendant suddenly burst forth with a dazzling, ethereal light!

A vast, majestic, and supreme aura of a sage descended upon us like a sleeping dragon awakening!

This aura, though only a wisp, carried the supreme will of the Primordial Celestial Venerable!
"In the name of the saint! Seal the heavens and lock the earth! Suppress!"

Yun Zhongzi's face contorted as he formed hand seals, frantically channeling that wisp of saintly aura into the crumbling spatial barrier!

Boom!

The spatial barrier, which was originally full of cracks and on the verge of collapse, was instantly covered by a layer of crystal-clear, jade-like immortal light with profound Dao patterns the moment the saint's aura was injected!
All the cracks healed at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The backflow of chaotic energy was forcibly cut off! The entire spatial barrier became stronger and thicker than ever before!
It exudes a terrifying pressure that suppresses all heavens and is impervious to all laws!
"Hahaha! Wen Zhong! You're finished!"

Yun Zhongzi's face was deathly pale, and his aura was weak. It was clear that activating this life-saving trump card had come at a great cost, but his eyes were filled with a manic sense of triumph.

"This formation has been strengthened by the aura of a sage! Even if a quasi-sage were to arrive, they could not break it from within! Even if you possess the power of laws, you cannot budge it in the slightest! Today, this place will be your burial ground! No one will know! No one can save you!"

Under the blessing of the sage's aura, the spatial barrier became as clear as jade and indestructible!

Bathed in the Jade Purity Immortal Light, the eight fire dragons seemed to be infused with new life, their size increased dramatically, and their power grew even stronger!

The dragon's roar shook the heavens, and eight-colored flames intertwined to form a destructive torrent, frantically impacting Wen Zhong's protective immortal light!
"Tsk-!"

The protective shield formed by the celestial energy of Shangqing finally let out a mournful cry and shattered inch by inch under the continuous burning of the eight divine fire sources and the impact of the saint's pressure!

Terrifying flames swept over in an instant!

"what--!"

Wen Zhong let out a muffled groan!
His grand master's robe was instantly charred and curled, most of his beard and hair were singed off, and his skin felt an excruciating burning pain!
The mount, the black Qilin, let out a mournful cry. Its massive body struggled and twisted in the flames, eventually turning into a charred skeleton before collapsing with a crash!

"Beast!"

Wen Zhong's eyes were bloodshot and his heart was in excruciating pain!
He roared and desperately tried to extinguish the flames on his body by drawing up the little Shangqing Immortal Qi he had left, but it was like a drop in the ocean!

The flames, like a leech, carried the power of the law of destruction, frantically eroding his immortal body and primordial spirit!
What made him even more desperate was that the spatial rift he had just torn apart with all his might had already disappeared without a trace under the cover of the Jade Purity Immortal Light!

The entire spatial barrier was perfectly round and seamless, without the slightest flaw!

The eight fire dragons, nourished by the saint's aura, became even more ferocious and violent, their attacks suppressing him within a small space of less than three zhang, compressing his range of movement to the extreme!
"puff!"

Wen Zhong forcefully activated the vertical eye between his eyebrows, attempting to once again gather that destructive lightning!

A sharp pain pierced his mind, and he barely managed to open his eyes a crack, with dark lightning flashing deep within his pupils!

However, this time, before the lightning could even take shape, an even more violent backlash surged forth!

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his life force instantly weakened!
Forcibly activating the power of laws beyond one's own realm already damaged one's very essence, and now one is completely exhausted!
He staggered backward, looking at the eight ferocious fire dragons rushing towards him, his eyes filled with sorrow.

With trembling hands, he pulled out a palm-sized communication seal from his bosom. It was neither gold nor jade, and was engraved with a black bird pattern. This was a magical artifact that Hua Guang had personally crafted for emergency communication.

However, when he tried to activate it, he found that the seal did not respond at all!
This space has been completely sealed off by the aura of a sage, isolating it from the outside world!

"Heaven has forsaken me..."

Wen Zhong's last hope was shattered.

He looked around. The sea of ​​fire stretched endlessly, the barriers were solid, his magic power was depleted, and his magical treasures were destroyed... A desperate situation! A truly desperate situation!
He gave a bitter laugh, no longer resisting in vain, letting the scorching flames lick his broken immortal body. The light of the twin whips dimmed, emitting a mournful cry.

He slowly closed his eyes, awaiting his final annihilation.

"call……"

Outside the space, Yun Zhongzi looked at the figure in the sea of ​​fire who had given up resistance and was barely breathing, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

His face was as pale as paper, and his aura was weak. The price of activating the aura of a saint was far beyond imagination, almost draining most of his original essence.

But as he watched Wen Zhong about to be refined, his eyes still held a sense of pleasure and relief.

"Finally... it's done!"

Yun Zhongzi thought to himself, a relieved smile curving his lips.

Once Wen Zhong dies, Chaoge City will be like a tiger with its teeth pulled, and Senior Brother Antarctic's plan can be implemented smoothly.

As for the source of the damage... as long as the mission is completed, Master will reward you handsomely!

He sat down cross-legged, preparing to regulate his breathing and recover, waiting for Wen Zhong to turn to ashes.

However, in the very moment when he was most relaxed!

A slender, fair hand with distinct knuckles landed on his shoulder without warning!
This hand appeared so abruptly!

There were no spatial fluctuations, no energy dissipation, as if it had always been there! Yun Zhongzi's hair stood on end instantly!

An unprecedented, bone-chilling cold instantly swept through my entire body!

He didn't even have time to react!

The palm pressed down lightly!
An indescribable, terrifying power, seemingly originating from the very source of heaven and earth, instantly invaded Yun Zhongzi's body!
The surging magical power within him froze instantly, like a river frozen solid!
His powerful primordial spirit was as if it were shackled by invisible chains, and his divine sense was completely imprisoned!
He can't even move a finger or roll his eyes!
He stood frozen in place, only his eyes revealing extreme terror and horror!
"who?!!"

Yun Zhongzi screamed wildly in his heart!
He wanted to roar, to struggle, but no sound came out! He could only use all his willpower to roar in his heart!

He tried to activate the jade pendant that contained the aura of a sage, but found that the connection with the jade pendant was also forcibly severed by that force!

Who is it?! Who could silently infiltrate this space sealed off by the aura of a sage? Who could so easily imprison a Great Luo Golden Immortal?
Could it be... that Master has come in person? No! Impossible! If Master had made arrangements, he would never do this!

Just as Yun Zhongzi was horrified, a calm, emotionless voice rang in his ear, like the whisper of death.

"A disciple of Yuanshi? Ha, what a show of prestige."

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a sense of indifference.

Yun Zhongzi was utterly shocked! This voice… was not his master! Nor was it any of the saints he knew! Who… was this person?!

He suppressed his fear and tried to communicate with his mind, his voice screaming in his heart.

"Your Excellency... just who are you?! I am a disciple of the Primordial Heavenly Venerable of the Jade Void Palace! I am acting on my master's orders! If you harm me, you will be making an enemy of the Jade Void Palace! An enemy of a sage! Please reconsider!"

He invoked the name of Yuanshi Tianzun in an attempt to intimidate the other party.

However, the hand resting on his shoulder remained motionless. The calm voice rang out again, carrying a faint hint of sarcasm.

"A sage? Is that so great? Trying to intimidate me with the Primordial Beginning? You... are not qualified."

Yun Zhongzi was stiff all over, like a frozen sculpture, even his thoughts were almost frozen.

The hand resting on his shoulder seemed to possess the immense power to suppress all heavens, rendering him utterly incapable of resisting.

His heart was in turmoil, frantically trying to guess the identity of the newcomer, but he only felt a deep, unfathomable chaos. (End of Chapter)
