The First Venerable of All Paths

"Great marksmanship!"

Gazing at the eight-pronged spear thrusting rapidly, Kuanghuo burst into wild laughter, appearing extremely pleased.

"Unfortunately, it's still not enough."

The fiery lion formed from the spear's edge swiftly slashed with its claws, shattering the eight spears one after another.

"puff!"

With his spear thrust broken, Fang Xuan coughed up a mouthful of blood.

In terms of gun skill alone, he is no match for Madfire.

After all, the other party was a powerful expert in the Divine Intent Realm who had cultivated for many years, and his realm was far superior to Fang Xuan's.

If Fang Xuan hadn't possessed profound knowledge and the Chaos Saint Body, his swordsmanship, spearmanship, and formation skills would have been crushed by Kuang Huo's slap long ago.

"Kid, being able to withstand one of my shots is enough for you to be the envy of your generation."

Kuang Huo brandished his spear and said, "As long as you are willing to hand over the Heavenly Fire, I promise not to kill you and will even protect you from the Merchant Alliance's pursuit."

Fang Xuan remained silent, simply sitting cross-legged.

The innate sword box rests horizontally on both knees.

"The sword case is now unlocked!"

Fang Xuan formed a sword seal with both hands, simultaneously releasing the two layers of restrictions on the sword box.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!"

The swords rang out, and two longswords flew out of the sword box one after the other, hovering around Fang Xuan.

Phoenix Cry Sword!

Scorching hot, its sharp edge fully revealed.

The Azure Lotus Sword.

Pure and clear as a lotus, it purifies all things.

"This is......."

Gazing at the two longswords swirling around Fang Xuan, Kuang Huo's expression changed for the first time.

"Two natal flying swords? How is that possible!"

For a sword cultivator, being able to cultivate a natal flying sword is already something to be proud of.

However, this guy in front of me actually possesses two natal flying swords, which is simply unbelievable.

"No wonder the Merchant Alliance is willing to go to any lengths to kill this kid."

Kuang Huo's expression turned solemn, and a hint of regret crept into his heart.

It possesses the arts of swordsmanship, formation, and spearmanship, and also celestial fire.

Such people either come from a major clan or a hidden family.

But neither of them is someone the Mad Lion Mercenary Group can afford to offend.

"Since we've already formed an enmity, we must kill him to prevent future troubles!"

Kuang Huo was not a hesitant person. After making his decision, he frantically poured his spiritual power into the Flame Lion King Spear.

"Awooo!"

A roar resounded, and the phantom of an enormous fiery lion appeared behind the raging fire.

Moreover, the lion was also holding a flaming spear in its claws.

"Gun Soul Break!"

A cold glint flashed in Kuanghuo's eyes as he thrust his spear fiercely towards Fang Xuan below.

"go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Flaming Lion, carrying a long spear, charged menacingly towards Fang Xuan.

"The sword sheath is unsealed, the sword formation begins!"

Fang Xuan slapped the sword box, and ten thousand sword energies surged out from it, forming a formidable sword formation with his two natal flying swords.

The sword formation surged forth, continuously blocking the Flame Lion's offensive.

However, it was clear that the sword formation was insufficient to withstand the attack and was retreating steadily.

"puff!"

As the sword energy shattered, Fang Xuan's face grew increasingly pale.

"Is this your limit?"

"Then you'll stay here today!" Kuang Huo shouted fiercely.

Kuang Huo charged forward with his spear, shattering the sword formation with a single thrust, and then aimed for Fang Xuan's brow.

The approaching death weighed heavily on Fang Xuan's mind.

"Fang Xuan!"

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Flaming Lion, witnessed this scene and his eyes turned bloodshot.

"Kid, you can't die!"

A frenzied aura surged from the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's body, and the overwhelming demonic energy was like a vortex, devouring everything in its path.

"A line of blood across the sky!"

The scales on the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's body ripped apart inch by inch, transforming into a red thread that cut through the heavens and earth.

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor is burning his essence and blood to activate the demonic python bloodline within his body.

"Execute him!"

The crimson threads slashed straight at the Fiery Lion.

"Burning your life essence? You're insane!"

The Fiery Lion was also startled and dared not confront its attack directly, quickly dodging the blow.

However, the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor instantly traversed a hundred meters and appeared in front of Fang Xuan, slapping a claw at the raging fire.

"Thump!"

Although this claw successfully blocked the attack of the raging fire, a cloud of blood mist burst out around the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor.

"Fang Xuan, I... have done my best."

The Crimson Scale Demon Emperor's body went limp and it plummeted straight to the ground, its body growing smaller and smaller.

Finally, it turned into a small snake, about the thickness of a thumb, lying limply on the ground, completely unconscious.

"A great opportunity!"

Tang Xuan, who was watching the battle from a distance, had his eyes light up when he saw this.

He used his movement technique to quickly approach Fang Xuan, and the thorns transformed into venomous snakes, shooting towards Fang Xuan.

"Without that demon emperor, you're just a fish on a chopping board, completely at my mercy!"

Tang Xuan was overjoyed.

With the Crimson Scale Demon Emperor unconscious, Fang Xuan also lost his fighting ability.

All his sacrifices were worth it to defeat Fang Xuan.

"You old scoundrel, how dare you be so insolent!"

Seeing that Tang Xuan had actually attacked Fang Xuan, Kuang Huo was furious. He shook his spear and thrust it directly at Tang Xuan.

The Fiery Lion also swayed and rushed straight towards Fang Xuan.

Not only that.

Even the skeleton Lady Bone, now reduced to ashes, was now approaching Fang Xuan like a ghost, eager to get a share of the spoils.

"Are they all going to kill me?"

Fang Xuan slowly grabbed the unconscious Crimson Scale Demon Emperor, roughly stuffed him into his arms, and stared expressionlessly at the man and beast rushing towards him.

A sinister smile curled wildly from the corner of his mouth.

"Senior, it's your turn to make a move!"

As the murmur ended, a scorching aura that seemed to soar into the sky suddenly erupted from Fang Xuan's body.

"Hey!"

A clear and high-pitched cry resounded between heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, a giant fire phoenix, hundreds of feet long, materialized behind Fang Xuan.

Golden-red flames swept across the sky.

An aura of dominance, suppressing the universe.

The true spirit of the Fire Phoenix has descended upon the world!

"The Undying Fire Phoenix?!"

The fiery lion that had just rushed up to Fang Xuan was so frightened by the ancient divine beast that its fur stood on end.

Without hesitation, the Flaming Lion turned and ran.

Lady Bone, along with Mad Fire and Tang Xuan, who were engaged in battle, were also desperately trying to escape.

"call!"

The Undying Fire Phoenix gently flapped its wings.

Fiery feathers burst forth from the wings, shooting out like arrows.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

The first to be hit was the Flame Lion, which was pierced by two fire feathers, and half of its body was smashed to pieces.

Then came Lady Bones.

His chest was pierced by the fire feather, and he let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Kuang Huo and Tang Xuan were also struck by the fire feathers one after another, and both were seriously injured and coughed up blood.

And this is just the beginning.

More fire feathers shot towards them, intent on annihilating them all.

At this critical moment, the earth roared and thunder rumbled in the sky.

In the heart of the Sunset Wasteland, an extremely violent and terrifying pressure suddenly shot straight into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a colossal maw, capable of swallowing the heavens and earth, emerged from the depths of the wasteland and fiercely bit down at the undead fire phoenix that was displaying its divine power.

At that moment, half the sky was covered.

Countless mountains and hills were destroyed by the power emanating from the giant maw.

"shortage?!"

The fiery lion, its blood gushing forth, stared in terror at the enormous, unfathomable gray maw.

"It really exists!"

Kuanghuo and the others turned pale instantly, their eyes filled with deep despair.

shortage.

It is an existence that has been passed down for many years in the entire Sunset Wasteland.

Legend has it that it created the wild beasts, and the Sunset Wasteland exists because of it.

He is known as the Lord of the Wasteland.

But for countless years, no one has seen the wilderness.

Perhaps all those who have seen it are already dead.

Today, they saw it.

With just his mouth, he instilled in them an unparalleled sense of terror, as if he could swallow the entire world whole.

Even if Huang is not at the Tongxuan Realm, he is infinitely close to it.

"Boom!"

The gigantic gray maw descended, swallowing the Undying Fire Phoenix whole, and quickly returned to the depths of the wasteland.

On the earth, only a huge crater hundreds of meters deep remains, devoid of any life.

"Gulp!"

Kuanghuo involuntarily swallowed, his face still showing signs of shock.

"Fire Master, that thing..."

"Shut up!"

The Fiery Lion, enraged, shouted, "Get out of here! Get out of the wasteland!"

Before the raging fire could respond, the Flame Lion, dragging its remaining half-body, charged wildly out of the wasteland.

Kuang Huo's expression changed, and he gritted his teeth and quickly followed in the air.

"This matter must be reported to the Alliance Leader immediately!"

Tang Xuan did not hesitate and followed suit, flying away into the sky.

Lady Gu and Xue Wanlong also left.

They didn't mention Fang Xuan at all.

Clearly, having been swallowed by the wilderness, Fang Xuan had no chance of surviving.

"Ahem!"

After everyone had left, a figure crawled out of the ground.

Spitting out the dirt from his mouth, Qiu Feng looked still shaken.

"Oh my god, that's terrifying."

Wiping the dust off his face, Qiu Feng sighed, "Guard Fang, I, Qiu, have done my best. I hope you'll be blessed with good fortune and survive."

Qiu Feng didn't dare to delay and used his movement technique to fly away from this place of trouble.

He had to return to Sunset Town immediately to arrange matters concerning his clan.

Despite the Alliance of Merchants mobilizing so many powerful individuals and joining forces with the Mad Lion Mercenary Group and other forces, they still failed to kill Fang Xuan, and even alarmed the Wilderness.

He worried that the business alliance would use this as an excuse to completely integrate the entire Sunset Town.

The Qiu family business is small and fragile; it cannot withstand much setback.

The appearance of the wasteland will cause everyone to feel uneasy.

"So it's barren? It truly lives up to its name."

High in the sky, amidst the clouds.

The man with the hooked nose stood atop an eagle, gazing into the depths of the wasteland, his expression extremely solemn.

"Commander Wen, stop looking."

The hook-nosed man looked in a certain direction and said, "Whether that little guy is dead or not, now that he's fallen into Huang's hands, he's no longer someone we can covet."

"What you need to do now is hurry up and chase after that wild wolf of your Canglang, otherwise your Canglang mercenary group will be short of a top combatant."

Upon hearing this, Wen Kang's lips twitched, his face full of helplessness.

When Huang appeared, the wolf demon king brought by Wen Kang was so frightened that it fled in panic.

"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Flying Eagle."

Wen Kang first bowed to the man with the hooked nose, then looked deeply into the wasteland and sighed softly.

"The swordsman's demeanor was astonishing, truly a pity, a great pity."

......

"Senior, are you there?"

A weak voice rang out from the darkness.

After calling out dozens of times, Fang Xuan finally heard the voice of the Undying Fire Phoenix in his mind, even weaker than his own.

"I am here."

Fang Xuan quickly asked, "Senior, do you know what place this is?"

"The Desolate Realm".

The Undying Fire Phoenix said, "That is, Huang's belly."

"shortage?"

Noticing that the Undying Fire Phoenix was too weak, Fang Xuan asked, "Then how should we leave?"

"Little one, I am too weak and need to sleep for a long time. It is unknown whether I will wake up, so I can't help you."

When Fang Xuan faced a life-or-death crisis, the Undying Fire Phoenix used its primordial power and was in a state of extreme weakness.

"You just need to remember this."

The voice of the Undying Fire Phoenix gradually faded into the distance.

"The wilderness is invisible and invincible."

Upon hearing this, Fang Xuan fell silent.

The Undying Fire Phoenix needs to sleep, and may not even be able to wake up.

Furthermore, all the power within him was suppressed and imprisoned by a mysterious force, making it impossible to activate or use.

At this moment, Fang Xuan was like an ordinary person with no strength to even kill a chicken, who would be permanently imprisoned in this desolate world where the sun never shines.

"Invisible, invincible?"

Fang Xuan pursed his lips, a strong sense of resentment rising in his heart.

But I have to leave.
