The First Venerable of All Paths

"Ordinary ground fires don't have this kind of power!"

The withered monster's expression turned more solemn than ever before, and he said in a deep voice, "It could be some kind of mutated earth fire!"

Due to his cultivation technique, the withered old monster was extremely sensitive to all kinds of flames.

He had fought against a master of earth fire before, but the master's earth fire was nothing like the golden-red flames before him, which made him wary.

Not just withered old monsters.

Both Poisonous Enchantress and Ghost Child felt their scalps tingle the moment Fang Xuan summoned the Undying Phoenix Flame.

The flow of internal energy suddenly became sluggish, as if suppressed by an invisible force, making it extremely difficult to operate.

"No wonder this guy is so confident; it turns out he has such powerful earth fire."

Nie Song glanced at Li Tianjiao.

I'm curious where she found her helper.

"I just hope it's not just a pretty face."

The Ghost Child sneered in a shrill voice, "Sun Wei's soul was at the peak of the Condensation Realm, and even we couldn't do anything about it. Even if he possessed the Earth Fire, his own strength was still too weak."

Poisonous Enchantress nodded in deep agreement.

Earth fire can indeed suppress the dead, but if the owner is too weak, they cannot unleash the full power of earth fire.

Even Li Tianjiao was filled with trepidation, looking nervously at Fang Xuan.

"Hey!"

A loud cry resounded in all directions, and two balls of golden-red flames rushed straight towards Sun Wei, one on the left and one on the right.

Although Sun Wei developed some intelligence, he was ultimately just a soul.

Facing the raging Undying Phoenix Flame, the ghostly Sun Wei gently trembled his spear.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

The red mist churned, and the red spear light pierced the two flames with lightning speed.

However, as the flames swept over them, these spear points vanished like snow meeting the blazing sun.

The Undying Phoenix Fire, however, continued its momentum undiminished, rushing into the red mist like two streaks of light, about to smash into the undead Sun Wei.

"Ugh!"

Only then did the ghost Sun Wei belatedly realize the terrifying power of the Undying Phoenix Fire, letting out a low, indistinct roar.

Then I saw him raise his spear.

The red lake water then transformed into two water dragons, which crashed into the two balls of flame.

"Sizzle!"

The water and fire clashed violently, instantly bursting forth with a sky full of white mist and water vapor, causing the surrounding temperature to plummet.

However, the red water dragon continued to flow endlessly, washing over the Undying Phoenix Fire again and again, causing the golden-red light to dim more and more, and the fire to weaken rapidly, gradually becoming weak.

"It still doesn't work."

Nie Song gazed at the dying flames and sighed softly, his tone carrying a hint of expected regret.

"You overconfident brat!"

The demon child's face was full of schadenfreude, and the mockery in his eyes was almost overflowing.

"It's such a pity that such a rare subterranean fire was wasted."

Poisonous Enchantress licked her red lips, a hint of regret flashing in her eyes, but her tone held no sympathy whatsoever.

"If things become unmanageable, we will retreat."

The withered old monster secretly transmitted his voice.

No matter how important the treasures in Hongquan Lake are, one must be alive to enjoy them.

He wouldn't put himself in a dangerous situation.

"You don't need to remind me."

The demon child cracked his neck and grinned sinisterly, "Let's see. If I get the chance, I'll eat that brat!"

"what ever."

Meanwhile, as the two water dragons washed over it, the Undying Phoenix Flame was rapidly extinguished, until it was only the size of a grain of rice.

Seeing this, everyone thought Fang Xuan had failed.

Even Li Tianjiao was prepared to make a move at any time.

Seeing that he had completely suppressed the Undying Phoenix Flame, the ghost Sun Wei raised his arm again.

A brilliant red light shone from the tip of the spear.

"Buzz!"

A spear beam as thick as an arm pierced the sky, heading straight for Fang Xuan.

"Brother Fang Xuan, get out of the way!"

Seeing Fang Xuan standing still, Li Tianjiao quickly called out.

Nie Song and his companions, however, watched coldly from the sidelines.

Fang Xuan's life or death is none of their concern.

What they were interested in was the treasure in Red Spring Lake.

Fang Xuan himself, however, showed no sign of panic; instead, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

"King's Fist..."

Just as the spear was about to pierce his body, Fang Xuan took a half step back.

He lowered his waist and immediately threw a punch.

"King's Fist..."

Just as the domineering spear light was about to pierce him, Fang Xuan took a half step back, lowered his waist and stood at attention, and his Yuan energy frantically gathered in his right fist, the fist wind howling.

"Suppress the World!"

With a low shout, golden and red intertwined fist energy instantly surged out from the fist, carrying a power that could shake mountains and the earth, and collided fiercely with the red spear light.

"this......."

Everyone was taken aback at first, then the ghost child sneered, "Like an ant trying to shake a tree, you're overestimating yourself!"

"madness!"

"idiot!"

When Fang Xuan chose to take the spear light head-on, everyone shook their heads and sneered.

Even though Sun Wei, the deceased, was at the peak of the Condensation Realm, he defeated them all with just one move.

For Fang Xuan, an insignificant Qi Gathering Realm cultivator, to act in this way is no different from suicide.

But the next moment.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound rang out.

That domineering spear thrust actually began to crumble inch by inch, and was shattered by Fang Xuan's punch.

"How is that possible?!"

Nie Song and the others stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with disbelief.

Sun Wei's attack was actually intercepted by Fang Xuan.

"What this guy just used seems to be an extremely profound martial art."

The withered old monster stared intently at Fang Xuan, a glint of greed flashing in its eyes.

If he could obtain this martial art...

Not just him.

The others shared the same idea.

But the deceased Sun Wei couldn't care less about all that.

Seeing that he had failed to kill Fang Xuan, he instinctively raised the bone spear high.

The crimson mist swirled and merged into the bone spear.

Dozens or even hundreds of spear beams began to shoot out in all directions.

"kill!"

The ghost Sun Wei actually uttered a single word clearly, and then all the spear lights, like a rain of spears, swept towards Fang Xuan.

Seeing this, Fang Xuan's expression grew even colder.

"The flames of war will spread like wildfire!"

Fang Xuan's eyes flashed with golden-red light as his hands rapidly formed hand seals.

"Hey!"

The next moment, a clear and high-pitched cry clearly reached everyone's ears.

Immediately afterwards, the hundred spear beams that were heading straight for Fang Xuan suddenly burst into flames.

Before they even got close to Fang Xuan, they were completely melted by the flames.

Besides.

Sparks began to appear on the entire surface of Red Spring Lake.

Immediately, these flames merged into one, transforming into a sea of ​​fire.

The spirit of Sun Wei, who perished, was in the very center of the inferno.

"Ugh!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed from Red Spring Lake.

The crowd saw numerous figures struggling and howling in the flames before being burned to ashes.

"What terrifying flames!"

Seeing this scene, Nie Song and the others subconsciously took a step back.

Even from this distance, they could feel a terrifying heat rushing towards them.

"Splash, splash!"

Amidst the sea of ​​fire, Sun Wei, a soul already engulfed in flames, moved swiftly and stepped directly out of Red Spring Lake.

However, the moment they saw the deceased Sun Wei, everyone gasped in shock.

Because Sun Wei's lower body is not actually two legs.

Instead, it was a small mountain made up of skulls.

His upper body looked as if it had grown out of this mountain of skulls, appearing both bizarre and terrifying.

"Click-clack!"

After leaving Red Spring Lake, these skulls opened and closed their mouths, making a sickening sound.

Then, wisps of red mist flew from the mouths of these skulls and entered Sun Wei's mouth and nose.

"Boom boom boom!"

As the red mist surged in, Sun Wei's figure began to grow wildly.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a three-meter-tall giant, with a robust physique, overwhelming aura, and an increasingly dense aura of death around it.

He held the bone spear, looking down at Fang Xuan with cold, emotionless eyes.

He then suddenly raised his hand, and the bone spear, with a sharp sound of tearing through the air, stabbed straight at Fang Xuan, its force even more domineering than before.

Fang Xuan narrowed his eyes, staring at the bone spear that was thrusting towards him.

"Brother Fang Xuan..."

Li Tianjiao nervously clenched her hands, but was afraid of affecting Fang Xuan.

"laugh!"

The spear shot out like lightning, piercing straight through Fang Xuan's body.

Everyone was stunned.

What's going on?

He died just like that?

"No, it's an afterimage!"

Nie Song was the first to react and looked behind Sun Wei.

There, Fang Xuan's figure slowly emerged.

Golden-red flames covered his palm, and he slammed his palm into Sun Wei's body.

"break!"

With a cold shout, the Undying Phoenix Flame swept wildly.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

A large amount of white smoke rose from Sun Wei's body, and the skulls were quickly melted.

Meanwhile, Sun Wei's enormous body was rapidly shrinking.

"Snap!"

Cracks appeared on Sun Wei's body, and he looked as if he was about to disintegrate.

"He took care of Sun Wei?"

Poisonous Enchantress was still somewhat incredulous, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing.

Just before Sun Wei disintegrated, he slapped him with his backhand.

"Bang!"

The terrifying force swept Fang Xuan away, sending him crashing heavily to the ground.

"snort!"

Fang Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, his face quickly turned ashen, and his breath became extremely weak.

"Brother Fang Xuan!"

Li Tianjiao rushed over and helped Fang Xuan up.

Are you alright?

Fang Xuan shook his head and immediately covered his mouth, but he couldn't stop the blood from flowing out from between his fingers.

Judging from his appearance, he seemed to have suffered a serious injury.

"Look! The water level in Hongquan Lake is decreasing!"

Poisonous Enchantress suddenly exclaimed and pointed at Red Spring Lake.

Everyone looked over and, sure enough, discovered that Red Spring Lake was shrinking at an extremely rapid pace, revealing its true form.

That's not a lake at all.

It's just a small puddle.

In the center of the puddle is a strangely shaped bottle.

The bottle opening is only the size of a thumb, from which clear spring water is flowing.

Moreover, it is different from ordinary spring water.

This spring water seems to contain a rich spiritual energy.

"Is this the spring source of Red Spring Lake?"

The withered monster was taken aback at first, then shouted sharply, "This bottle is definitely a treasure! Make your move!"

After saying that, he rushed straight into the lake, wanting to get his hands on the bottle first.

But Nie Song took the first step.

"I, Nie, will gladly accept this!"

Nie Song laughed loudly and reached out to grab the bottle.

Just as Nie Song's hand was about to touch the bottle, several blood-red spider silks shot over and wrapped around the bottle's mouth.

"Commander Nie, it's not a man's job to eat alone."

Poisonous Enchantress chuckled and forcefully tugged at the Blood Refined Spider Silk.

"Get out of here, you slut!"

Nie Song roared and slammed his spear down on the spider silk.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

But several spider silks came whistling in again, wrapping around the spear and binding it tightly.

"Ghost Child, go and retrieve the treasure!"

Seeing that Nie Song was entangled, the withered old monster, who was a step too slow, directly grabbed at Nie Song's face with its claws.

He seemed to want to deal with Nie Song first.

"Hehehe, the treasure is mine!"

The demon child screamed and rushed towards the puddle.

"Brother Fang Xuan, wait for me!"

Just as Li Tianjiao was about to make a move, Fang Xuan grabbed his wrist.

Just as Li Tianjiao was about to speak, she saw Fang Xuan gesturing for her to look up.

Li Tianjiao subconsciously looked up at the sky, her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowing.

because she found out.

The blood-red moon hanging in the sky had grown a full size larger than before.

Its color became increasingly scarlet, exuding an eerie and terrifying aura!
