Chapter 178, Center of the Blazing Fire Realm

"Ling Fei, are there any extraordinary individuals in the Blazing Fire Realm?"

"what?"

Yan Lingfei, who had been lost in thought, snapped out of her daze. After a while, she reacted, shook her head, and said...

"No, the highest level is only sixth rank. This place is related to the Flame Emperor's Death Arena, which is why I came here."

Lin Ran: "So... the Blazing Fire Realm can actually be seen as an open secret realm with a legacy?"

Yan Lingfei: "Hmm... that's one way to understand it, but most secret realms don't reach this scale."

Lin Ran: "When will the inheritance begin?"

"I have the key. I can open it directly once I get there, but it will alert all the creatures in the entire Blazing Fire Realm. They will gather here and fight over what is probably the inheritance of the Rule Realm."

Lin Ran: "How many sixth-tier levels are there?"

"I don't know, but there should be at least a hundred. Brother Lin, are you going to fight so many by yourself?"

Yan Lingfei curiously leaned closer and hugged Lin Ran from behind, resting her chin on his shoulder.

"The quantity is a bit too much; we're still a little short."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Ran said,

Yan Lingfei thought for a moment,

"Before receiving the inheritance, I left behind a copy. Brother Lin, you should be able to ensure a continuous flow of spiritual energy."

"Hmm... Let's go take a look first. We don't necessarily have to face so many Tier 6 beings at once."

Lin Ran touched her chin, realizing she would have to call for help again.

However, it involves a realm comparable to the human race's mother realm. Although it cannot be integrated into the mother realm for the time being, it still brings great benefits.

time flies.

The Fiery Bird flew for three consecutive days and finally reached the center of the Blazing Fire Realm.

There are no raging flames here, only a seemingly ancient, giant tower-like building. Within a radius of ten thousand miles centered on this building, there are no flames, only a dark yellow wilderness, and wandering creatures that can be seen everywhere on the land.

Yan Lingfei suddenly stood up.

"Brother Lin, I sensed it. The advancement path to the Emperor Flame Deathmatch Arena is in the building ahead, but the rules are a bit special..."

How special is it?

Lin Ran moved her body, her gaze calm and unwavering.

Yan Lingfei hesitated for a moment, then said,

"The path to advancement in the Deathmatch Arena is to become a referee, but before that, you need to have a creature win continuously until no one challenges you, and then defeat the creature that is on a winning streak before you can make the full advancement."

"...It feels like it was deliberately arranged."

Lin Ran touched her chin.

"Could it be that the four pillars of the human race are secretly pulling the strings?"

Yan Lingfei: "...It's hard to say."

"You go and advance your skill level; leave the rest to me."

Lin Ran patted Yan Lingfei on the shoulder.

Yan Lingfei hesitated for a moment.

"Brother Lin, there are more than 300 sixth-order beings in the realm. We need to challenge at least half of them, and many of them are at the peak of the sixth order."

Lin Ran shrugged: "You operate it, start with the weakest sixth rank, bring me a dozen or so sixth rank powers, and I should be able to break through. After that, the pressure will be reduced a lot."

Yan Lingfei hesitated for a moment, then her eyes hardened.

"good!"

The fiery bird flew toward the building, and the aura it emitted attracted the attention of many creatures.

Then, they seemed to receive some kind of message and began to move closer to the air.

Lin Ran stood in front of the bird's back, looking down at the many approaching creatures. A bright silver light flashed in her eyes, and then she slowly extended her right hand.

The spiritual energy in the void surged, and countless fire elements converged, transforming into a giant handprint over three hundred meters long. At the same time, the void was sealed off, and most living beings were frozen in place.

bang bang bang...

The giant handprint passed through the multitude of living beings and crashed into the earth.

Hundreds of creatures that tried to approach the Fiery Bird were reduced to ashes, and the earth was dented, leaving a palm print more than 500 meters long. Many creatures did not have time to escape and died under the palm or in the aftershocks.

With a flap of its wings, the Fiery Bird instantly increased its speed, transforming into a streak of light as it hurtled towards the building.

Jian Linglong conjured a physical body, grasped the flying sword, and swung it out, instantly killing several alien creatures on the spot, their corpses falling to the ground.

Lin Ran's gaze shifted, landing on a humanoid alien race not far away.

Sixth rank!

The Fiery Bird slowly came to a stop. Lin Ran stood atop its head, surveying the alien race blocking her path.

This is a highly humanoid alien race. Except for their amethyst eyes, they are exactly the same as humans!

However, judging from its aura and origin, this creature is definitely not human.

Lin Ran spoke calmly, using the universal language of all realms.

"Make way now, and you'll still have a chance to live."

"Human, you seem to be unclear about your own place."

The alien spoke calmly, his tone strange, as flat as a machine.

Lin Ran smiled.

"Whether it's clear or not, we'll know after we fight a match."

The next moment, Yan Lingfei decisively activated the Flame Emperor Death Arena, whose projection instantly enveloped Lin Ran and the alien race.

As the words fell, a dark light flashed in Lin Ran's eyes, and the world instantly turned gray.

With a swift movement, he rushed to the front of the sixth-tier alien race. All seven portals opened simultaneously, and his vital energy was locked tightly on his body surface, converging towards his right fist, making it seem as if his right fist had turned into a piece of gold.

boom!

The golden fist slammed into the alien's head, then into his chest, abdomen, and a spot on his leg where the power was concentrated.

After four punches, Lin Ran returned to the top of the bird's head and assumed the original posture.

Two seconds later, time resumes its flow.

boom!

Four loud explosions occurred simultaneously. The alien's head exploded, and a large mass of purple liquid, resembling its blood, burst from its chest, abdomen, and legs.

Then, the alien's body swayed, its life force flickering twice like a candle flame before suddenly going out.

Swish!

A white light descended upon the deathmatch arena, enveloping the alien corpse and causing it to shatter into countless starlight points. After an unknown and complex transformation, these points turned into pure spiritual energy, which flowed into Lin Ran's body.

Lin Ran used it to improve the Eight Gates Formation, but unfortunately, he gained very little experience.

The current Eight Gates Formation requires not only accumulating energy but also various forms of understanding; otherwise, it cannot be cultivated.

After consuming a small amount of power, the remaining energy was sealed away and turned into a purple crystal.

Lin Ran put away the crystal and kicked the Fiery Bird's head.

"Walk."

Behind her, Zhou Yu silently lowered her raised hand; she hadn't had time to get into character yet.

The Spirit Lord stared thoughtfully at Lin Ran's retreating figure. Just now, she had sensed an unknown, yet extremely subtle, lofty, and vast aura, the boundaries of which were unfathomable. That aura seemed to exist outside of this world.

I don't know what that is, but if she can use it, perhaps she can develop some methods.

The Fiery Bird flew over the wilderness, and no other alien race came to stop it. The news that the sixth-tier alien race had been killed in a single encounter spread quickly.

However, this could not deter the alien races from their determination to inherit the legacy.

Yan Lingfei processed the new information, and her expression suddenly changed.

"Brother Lin, all living beings in the Blazing Fire Realm are converging here."

"You can sense it?"
