The Great Overlord: Simulating the Future, Dominating Speedrunning

Chapter 164 The Evil Lord of Fire Palace

Soon after,

On a huge stone island.

Three streams of light streaked across the sky and stopped at the outskirts of the stone island, transforming into three figures: two men and one woman.

It was Lu Chen and the other two.

"This is where the Fire Palace is located."

Lu Chen looked at the huge spiritual barrier outside the stone island. There was a hazy spiritual light constantly wandering around the barrier, making it difficult to see the specific scene inside.

"Xiaomu."

Lu Chen shouted.

Muchen nodded, then walked forward, gently placing his palm on the spiritual array barrier, his eyes slightly closed, and visible ripples of spiritual power emanated from his palm, spreading out layer by layer along the spiritual array that enveloped the stone island.

After a while,

Mu Chen's eyes slowly opened. He smiled at Lu Chen and said, "This spiritual formation is very powerful. It's probably a master-level spiritual formation. Fortunately, after so many years, many flaws have appeared. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to deal with."

As soon as he finished speaking, he gently slapped the spiritual formation with his palm, and immediately a gap of more than ten feet in size was torn on the spiritual formation barrier.

"Walk."

Lu Chen took the lead and rushed in, followed closely by Xiao Xiao and Muchen.

……

Inside the Stone Island,

Amidst the endless dim sky and earth, huge volcanoes stood tall. Above the crimson earth like magma, a wave of hot air rose up, making the space seem a little distorted.

As Lu Chen stepped on the ground, he felt a violent, hot air that immediately invaded his body. Under the erosion of this hot air, it seemed as if even his heart became a little irritable...

However, this feeling did not last long. The crystal-like glass flame in Lu Chen's body gushed out, wrapping the fire energy that flowed into his body, and quickly transformed it into pure fire-attribute spiritual power and absorbed it completely.

"interesting……"

Lu Chen looked around and saw countless gullies of different sizes on this red land, as if it had experienced countless battles.

In some red sand, you can also see some broken weapons and bones, exuding a sense of desolation.

"It seems that the battle back then was very brutal..."

Lu Chen sighed.

"My father once said that the demonic tribe from outside the domain that invaded Tianluo Continent was led by an extremely powerful Demon Emperor, who seemed to be able to rank among the top ten demonic tribes from outside the domain."

Xiao Xiao on the side said softly.

Lu Chen nodded slightly. The Emperor of Heaven was one of the nine ancient emperors and one of the strongest people in the universe at that time. It was only natural for the extraterritorial evil clan to send the top ten Demon Emperors to deal with him.

"However, these foreign evil tribes are indeed powerful. It is said that their evil energy is extremely overbearing and can invade people's minds. Once the evil energy invades, they may be assimilated into evil creatures. We must be careful from now on..."

Lu Chen looked into the distance, gazing at a crimson palace in the center of the stone island, and spoke in a serious tone.

There seemed to be a dark mark on the crimson palace. Although the mark was extremely shallow, one could still faintly sense the disgusting, evil and cold aura...

If his predictions were correct, the Fire Palace Master might be in trouble...

Xiao Xiao followed Lu Chen's gaze, his expression instantly becoming serious. He said, "If the Lord of the Fire Palace has transformed into an evil being, even if his strength has been greatly reduced over time, we still cannot contend with him. Are you sure you want to go in?"

Lu Chen chuckled and said, "That's fine. I'll take the lead, and you can just assist from the side. The Lord of the Fire Palace was a Supreme Earth Supreme in his lifetime. After such a long time, it's good that he can maintain his strength at the Supreme Earth Realm."

"What we need to be wary of are the five hall masters at the Earth Supreme Perfection level. If they are corrupted by evil energy, it will be troublesome."

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao looked at Lu Chen deeply and said meaningfully: "It seems that you have quite a few hidden tricks. Even the Earth Supreme is confident that you can deal with them."

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I can only deal with some useless Supremes. If it's a lower-ranking Supreme from the Endless Fire Territory, I wouldn't dare to touch him."

"Xiao Mu has already gone ahead to break the spiritual formation surrounding the hall. Let's quickly follow him..."

As he spoke, Lu Chen pointed his toes and turned into a stream of light, rushing towards the hall.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao followed immediately.

……

After a while,

In front of the crimson palace,

Muchen's face was solemn. He formed seals with his hands, and spiritual seals emerged and merged into the void in front of him. Then the seal formula suddenly changed.

Outside the crimson hall, it seemed as if countless spiritual seals appeared. The fiery red light shield on the surface suddenly made a crisp sound and slowly cracked into a crack ten feet in size.

"Okay, I'll go in first, Xiao Xiao will follow, and Xiao Mu will go last."

Lu Chen gave an instruction and stepped into the hall first.

Afterwards, Xiao Xiao and Muchen looked at each other and entered one after another.

……

Within the main hall,

Lu Chen looked around and saw that the walls of the hall were all made of crimson crystals. The surface of the crystals was as smooth as a mirror, with a faint flame-like luster, as if they could breathe, emitting streams of light red spiritual mist.

In the center of the hall stood a huge crimson throne, carved from a single piece of crimson crystal. Its surface was covered with flame patterns, resembling a blooming crystal fire lotus.

Lu Chen's gaze immediately fell on the crimson throne, where he saw a figure sitting.

The figure was wearing a black robe, with a stern face and an arrogant look between his brows. His eyes were red, like burning flames. Faintly, there was an extremely powerful spiritual power fluctuation emanating from his body.

However, Lu Chen's gaze fell on the figure's right hand. He saw that his right hand was holding a scarlet divine bow. The bow was carved from blood jade, emitting a blazing red light all over, revealing a heart-pounding fluctuation.

Low-level holy object, Red Dragon Bow!

"It seems we are lucky. We found the target as soon as we came in."

As Xiao Xiao entered the hall, he set his eyes on the crimson divine bow and said with a smile.

Lu Chen shook his head slightly, his eyes falling on the figure in the black robe, and said in a low voice: "Something is wrong, didn't you notice that there is no one else here except that guy?"

Hearing this, Xiao Xiao was stunned for a moment, then looked around, his expression changed slightly. He saw that in the hall, except for the figure sitting on the throne with flesh and blood, the ground was littered with skeletons of people wearing green or gold robes.

Those skeletons were obviously the strong ones in the Fire Palace. They all kept looking up at the figure on the throne. There seemed to be fear and unwillingness on their skull-like faces.

"Stop pretending. Who can you fool with this little trick of yours?"

Lu Chen looked at the figure sitting on the throne, a cold glint in his eyes, and said coldly. The figure did not move, and the space became dead silent again. A strange and rigid atmosphere enveloped the entire hall...

The dead silence lasted for ten minutes, twenty minutes...

Xiao Xiao frowned slightly and turned to look at Lu Chen, but Lu Chen shook his head slightly at her, indicating that she should continue waiting.

At the same time, he winked at Muchen behind him. Muchen understood and slowly stepped back, about to leave the hall.

At this moment, the figure on the throne suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes. The evil light in his eyes burst out almost instantly, and his face became sinister. He stared at Lu Chen intently, and his sharp voice, filled with some rage, rang out: "Little bastard, dare to ruin my good deeds, stay here!"

"See, I told you, these guys are clueless. After being trapped for tens of thousands of years, how could they still have any patience?"

Lu Chen chuckled, then waved his sleeves, and five purple-gold fire lotuses that had already condensed emerged.

The purple-gold fire lotus is lifelike, as if it were made of jade, crystal clear and extremely beautiful. However, beneath such a beautiful appearance, it hides a power that even the Supreme Being on Earth is afraid of!

"go with!"

Lu Chen snapped his fingers, and five fire lotuses suddenly shot out, then directly tore through the space, sweeping towards the "Lord of the Fire Palace" as fast as lightning. Wherever they passed, the space collapsed!

"Insidious boy!"

The moment the fire lotus shot out, the face of the "Lord of the Fire Palace" changed and he was about to dodge.

At this moment, Muchen sneered and said, "I've been waiting for you!"

Immediately, he formed seals with his hands, and the walls around the hall suddenly shone brightly, and the hall let out a huge roar!

Wow!
Countless crimson rays of light condensed and formed four thick chains. On the chains, mysterious flame-like patterns emerged, emitting waves of fiery heat. Once they appeared, they surrounded the "Lord of the Fire Palace"!
"Damn it! You actually controlled the guardian spirit formation of this hall?"

The "Lord of the Fire Palace" roared loudly, his face became extremely distorted at this time, and then he screamed to the sky, and suddenly a huge black gas swept out from his body. The black gas was extremely sticky, like ink.

Wherever it passed, in just a few breaths, even the four thick red chains were corroded and broken.

But just this few breaths is enough.

The five gorgeous fire lotuses left a flame tail dozens of feet long in the air, like a comet breaking through the sky, and slammed into the "Lord of Fire Palace"!
"go!"

At this moment, Lu Chen kicked Muchen out of the hall, grabbed Xiao Xiao's hand, and flew out of the hall directly!
boom!
The three of them had just rushed out of the hall when they heard the hall pause for a moment, and then a shocking explosion was heard from inside.

Lu Chen turned his head and saw that there was a continuous roar in the hall, as if the sky and the earth were collapsing, deafening.

A blazing light burst out from the cracks in the temple door, with purple, gold, and crystal-like colors intertwined together, raging in the temple like violent thunder.

The light shield on the surface of the hall was directly cracked by the shock wave. At first, there were a few faint screams coming from inside the hall, but after a few breaths, there was no movement and it gradually became quiet.

"Don't let go yet!"

At this moment, an angry voice sounded, bringing Lu Chen back to his senses.

Xiao Xiao was seen with a face full of anger, her cheeks slightly red, and a bit of shame and anger in her eyes. Her wrist was held tightly by Lu Chen, and she could not break free.

Lu Chen then realized that he was still holding her hand, and quickly let go. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. He touched his nose and said, "I'm sorry, the situation was critical just now, and I had no choice. Please forgive me, please forgive me."

"Brother Lu, the situation is critical, why don't you pull me away..."

At this time, Muchen got up from the ground with a resentful look on his face, rubbed his butt which was still aching, and couldn't help but grin and said.

Lu Chen coughed lightly a few times, and said with a somewhat unnatural expression: "You are a grown man, with thick skin and flesh. What's wrong with enduring a little hardship? Don't complain. Brother Lu still has to find the Immortal Golden Body inheritance for you."

As soon as the four words "Immortal Golden Body" came out, they hit Mu Chen's sore spot.

Mu Chen curled his lips, muttered something under his breath, and then closed his mouth without saying anything more.

Instead, Xiao Xiao rubbed his red wrist, snorted coldly, and said, "You are good at pretending to be a good person."

"Pretending to be nice? That's not what I mean."

Lu Chen sighed, his tone filled with helplessness, "When the fire lotus exploded, I was in a hurry to help Miss Xiao. After all, you were the closest to me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao frowned slightly, as if he wanted to refute something, but in the end he just curled his lips and turned to walk into the hall.

Her back seemed a little cold, but after taking a few steps, she said without looking back: "Thank you."

Although the voice was soft, it reached Lu Chen's ears clearly.

Lu Chen stood there, looking at Xiao Xiao's back as she walked away, and a faint smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He thought to himself, "If I save him a few more times, I'll eventually get the Three Mysterious Transformations of Heavenly Fire..."

He followed immediately.

Seeing this, Mu Chen, who was not far away, rubbed his buttocks, picked up a jade talisman unwillingly, gritted his teeth, and said in a voice transmission: "Sister Jiuyou, I want to tell you something..."

"Brother Lu, you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust, I am doing this for your own good..."

……

The hall was in a mess.

Lu Chen and Xiao Xiao walked in and saw that the tall crimson throne in the center of the hall had long disappeared, and the ground was covered with unknown crystal fragments.

In the distant mid-air, the "Lord of the Fire Palace" stood in mid-air, but the black air around it was almost completely dispersed at this time. It stood still in mid-air, and suddenly cracks appeared on the surface of its body. Those cracks spread and soon spread throughout its entire body.

Click!

The cracks suddenly fell down, and the cracked body suddenly exploded, and as the shell dissipated.

In mid-air, an illusory Lord of the Fire Palace appeared again...

However, the evil aura in the eyes of the Lord of Fire Palace who appeared this time had completely disappeared, and his eyes were clear and bright again.

hum!
The red divine bow flew out at this moment, circling around the Lord of the Fire Palace, making a buzzing sound.

"senior……"

Lu Chen cupped his hands and asked solemnly, "Do you still have..."

The Lord of the Fire Palace smiled silently, and before Lu Chen finished speaking, he shook his head and patted the red divine bow beside him.

The divine bow let out a mournful cry and lingered beside the Lord of the Fire Palace for a moment, as if saying goodbye. It then transformed into a stream of light and landed in front of Lu Chen.

The Lord of the Fire Mansion smiled slightly when he saw this scene, and then his already transparent body completely shattered and turned into light spots all over the sky.

"Congratulations, senior."

Lu Chen's face was solemn. He bowed and saluted in the direction of the Lord of the Fire Palace.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao also bowed to show his respect.
