A blind man cultivates immortality and witnesses the great secret of the holy maiden in her bridal c

Dark, ominous clouds hung heavily over the entire world, and a sense of oppressive despair swept through every inch of space.

Immediately afterwards, a cold and eerie sneer slowly drifted from the clouds high in the sky, carrying a chilling killing intent.

Boom!

A deafening roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth!

A magnificent and ancient altar, engraved with strange sacred fire patterns, slowly emerged from the void and hovered directly above the palace! On the altar, pitch-black sacred fire blazed fiercely, its power overwhelming and its might unmatched!

Around the altar stood nine figures clad in long black robes, their faces hidden in the shadows of their hoods. Their golden core aura surged and rippled, and terrifying spiritual energy waves tore through the sky!

Eliza looked up, her pupils shrinking in disbelief, her voice trembling: "Nine...nine Golden Core cultivators! And all of them are unfamiliar faces! They're the Holy Fire Sect's hidden trump card! They've gone mad! They're willing to slaughter an entire city for revenge!"

Chen Yang, Liu Qingxia, and Liu Nianqiu looked up at the same time, their eyes instantly filled with seriousness.

Even Chen Yang, who possessed a system, felt a surge of extreme despair at this moment.

Nine Golden Core cultivators in total! Plus a Sacred Fire Altar of unfathomable power!

It is clear that the Holy Fire Cult is willing to go to any lengths to completely annihilate them here, eradicate them completely, and eliminate any future threat!

High in the sky, a black-robed cultivator with a full beard slowly raised his lifeless, cold eyes and locked them onto the four people below.

Without uttering a single wasted word, he slammed his palm together!

Endless black holy fire gathered into a raging sea of ​​fire, and terrifying flame divine power, carrying the power to destroy the world, crashed down and crushed downwards!

A matter of life and death!

Chen Yang's eyes hardened, and he instantly opened the system panel, gritting his teeth and consuming 30 million spirit stones!

Om-!

The Ghost Flame Lotus beneath his feet instantly surged with radiant light and demonic flames soared into the sky, forcefully breaking through the shackles and undergoing a transformation, directly advancing to the next grade!

[Ding! Your Earth-grade Secret Treasure, Ghost Flame Demon Lotus, has been successfully upgraded to a Heaven-grade Secret Treasure, costing 30 million spirit stones.]

The next moment, the Ghost Flame Demon Lotus beneath Chen Yang's feet completed its ultimate transformation and successfully advanced to a Heaven-Rank Secret Treasure!

The entire demonic lotus suddenly rose up, and purple-gold flames erupted. Black-gold and blood-red patterns intertwined and entwined, and a strange and eerie glow instantly enveloped Chen Yang, Liu Qingxia, Liu Nianqiu, and Eliza, forming an impregnable defensive barrier.

In that instant, high in the sky, the leading cultivator Liu Fengchang's fiery killing blow, carrying overwhelming power, crashed down and precisely struck the Ghost Flame Demon Lotus's defensive shield!

"Boom—!"

A deafening explosion tore through the sky, and the raging flames shattered and exploded in all directions, with terrifying shockwaves sweeping across the land.

What's astonishing is that the Ghost Flame Demon Lotus beneath Chen Yang's feet remained as steady as a rock, its lotus patterns flowing and its spiritual light stable. It actually withstood this domineering and unparalleled Golden Core strike without swaying in the slightest!

High in the clouds, Liu Fengchang narrowed his eyes, a hint of surprise flashing across them. He stood with his hands behind his back, a cold smile playing on his lips, his voice carrying an imposing aura that slowly resounded throughout the heavens and earth: "A Heaven-Rank Secret Treasure? That's beyond my expectations."

"I never imagined that a mere cultivator at the Divine Power Realm in the European country would possess such a supreme treasure. Could it be that the complete destruction of my Holy Flame Sect's three Holy Flame Altars was due to the restraint of your Heavenly Rank secret treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang suddenly understood.

He finally understood why the Holy Fire Cult was willing to destroy half the imperial city and slaughter countless lives to come after him. The root cause was that he had previously absorbed and refined the Holy Fire Cult's three Holy Fire Altars, severing their foundation and lineage!

These people, without asking any questions or disregarding the rules of nature, went on a killing spree and slaughtered countless people as soon as they arrived at this place. Their actions were ruthless and decisive, and they were determined to completely eliminate the four of them and eradicate them from the root of the problem!

Eliza, who was standing to the side, finally realized what was happening. Looking at the nine black-robed Golden Core cultivators high in the sky, she was filled with both anger and fear. She immediately raised her head and shouted angrily, "How dare you! You dare trespass into the territory of my Ten Thousand Immortals Dynasty, wantonly slaughtering living beings and acting arrogantly!"

"Retreat at once! I may forgive past grievances today! But your Holy Fire Sect's actions have violated the ironclad rules of the Heavenly Dao of the Central Continent. Are you not afraid of divine retribution, the combined might of the myriad immortals and heroes, and your annihilation?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Fengchang immediately let out a wild, arrogant laugh, his voice icy and chilling, full of disdain and mockery: "A cripple with his Golden Core completely destroyed and all his cultivation gone dares to threaten me?"

"Since we dare to come here today and wreak havoc, we have already made thorough preparations. Not a single word of what we are about to do will be leaked!"

His gaze locked onto the Ghostly Flame Lotus below, his tone filled with greed and dominance: "How about this? Hand over the Heavenly Rank secret treasure you possess, and return the three Holy Flame Altars of my Holy Flame Sect. All past grievances will be wiped clean, and my Holy Flame Sect will immediately withdraw its troops and never again invade the European Kingdom. What do you say?"

Eliza frowned deeply, her heart filled with panic and helplessness. She subconsciously turned to look at Chen Yang beside her, placing all her hopes on him.

At this moment, Chen Yang's eyes were cold and deep as he stared intently at the nine terrifying Golden Core cultivators high in the sky, as well as the giant sacred fire altar that burned fiercely and exuded overwhelming power.

His spirits had plummeted, and utter despair crept over him. His mind raced, frantically trying to devise every possible way to break the deadlock, but all his attempts ultimately failed.

No matter how many trump cards you have, how ingenious your tactics are, or how meticulous your deductions are, they are all ultimately futile in the face of absolute overwhelming strength!

The opponent had a full nine Golden Core Realm experts, a lineup that crushed everything! Even though he could silently absorb the Sacred Flame Altar, he still couldn't overcome the insurmountable gap between supernatural powers and the Golden Core Realm.

Moreover, he has only mastered four elemental divine abilities to the Great Perfection, and he has not even begun to grasp the most crucial water elemental divine ability. He currently has no ability to forcefully break through to the Golden Core Realm!

Nine golden cores pressing down on him—this was a certain death situation, with no chance of survival whatsoever!

Even if he wanted to return the Sacred Flame Altar, he couldn't, because the flames on the Sacred Flame Altar had been purified by his system. If he took it out, he would definitely die even faster, and it would make these people even angrier.

Liu Fengchang's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, instantly catching Eliza's pleading look. He then turned his gaze to Chen Yang, scrutinizing the seemingly young and ordinary cultivator at the Divine Power Realm.

He frowned slightly and asked coldly, "Boy, you're the one who stole my Holy Fire Sect's three Holy Fire Altars?"

"Young in age, yet possessing considerable skill and audacity beyond belief, daring to oppose my Holy Fire Sect! Now obediently hand over the altar, and perhaps I might spare your life!"

Below, Liu Nianqiu looked tense, her slender hands tightly gripping Chen Yang's arm, her fingertips turning slightly white, her eyes filled with fear and worry.

Liu Qingxia stood beside Chen Yang, her brows furrowed, her teeth clenched, her entire being tense to the extreme. She knew better than anyone how perilous the situation was, a truly desperate predicament!

Chen Yang took a deep breath, suppressing the despair and anxiety surging within him, and said in a deep voice, "I can return the Sacred Flame Altar, but only if you let the four of us leave first. If we cannot escape safely, I would rather completely destroy the altar than hand it over to you!"
