Those time travelers that year

'Once a connection is established, it will inevitably be known to the gods and demons, and their fates will be affected.'

'And within this intertwined destiny, the inheritors of gods and demons, through various coincidences, will either become confidants or enemies.'

'Then, through battle after battle, you will continuously surpass yourself and become stronger.'

This is equivalent to a training method similar to that of reserve soldiers, and in the Divine Weapon F series within the Divine Weapon Unification worldview, during the modern World War II, the Yan King, the inheritor of Fuxi's great wisdom, was directly reborn in modern times. There are also many more heroic spirits from past generations who have cultivated divine and demonic martial arts or wielded divine weapons. These heroic spirits are immortal, waiting for the final battle, or rather, waiting to be resurrected to face the impending Heavenly Demon army.

"That's truly a clever move!" Xia Er exclaimed. "Taking it a step further, the ultimate leap between humanity and divinity isn't something everyone can achieve. Even the incredibly powerful Ji Fa fell before that final leap. In fact, aside from Wen Tian, ​​who lived for a thousand years because of the Phoenix Heart, all other inheritors of divine power simply vanished when their destiny was sealed."

'But their heroic spirits and primordial essences were preserved, along with their various martial arts techniques and combat experiences. They could be reborn instantly with just one body—it's practically mass-producing super masters!'

'Compared to this, the Valhalla of Heroes in Type-Moon is simply no match for the Valhalla deliberately created by these gods and demons in this world!'

'How could a group of heroic spirits, mostly blessed by legends and faith, possibly compare to these heroes who inherited the legacy of gods and demons, forged their own paths, possessed incredibly rich combat experience, and many of them were just a few steps, or even half a step, away from the ultimate leap to godhood?'

"One could even say that having experienced the glory of life and the immersion in death, having truly gone through the great fear between life and death, it's impossible not to progress. Once regaining a physical body, it's almost certain that one will be able to break through to the Heavenly Gate."

Thinking this through, even Xia Er couldn't help but marvel at how clever the gods and demons of this world were. If this world truly was a unified world of Divine Weapon F, then the Hall of Heroes in this world was simply a place to collect the souls of heroes and incidentally help them be reborn. Although these heroes didn't possess the Noble Phantasms of the Heroic Spirits in Type-Moon, if you disregard those, the Heroic Spirits would probably be no match for these heroes. Even if the Heroic Spirits had Noble Phantasms, almost everyone here was an inheritor of divine and demonic martial arts. Can you imagine the scene one day where Ji Fa, Ying Zheng, and other inheritors of the Hun Tian Bao Jian (a powerful martial arts technique) unleash Blood Sky together? Or the scene where the inheritors of the Tathagata Palm all use Buddha's Light to deliver a devastating slap? Or perhaps a cataclysmic event where several people simultaneously unleash a map-wide bombardment.

Thinking about this, Xia Er couldn't help but feel that his decisive cowardice was absolutely the right choice. This world was too complex. If it really was about unifying worldviews, then Xia Er felt he really had to be extremely careful. It would be best if those gods and demons thought he was just an ordinary hero, not an outsider.

Otherwise, it's possible that these gods and demons, who had suffered the humiliation of being ganged up on by the Heavenly Demon Army and thus developed the desire to cultivate an army of martial arts masters, wouldn't immediately attack and kill him upon discovering this.

374. Tiger Soul True Lord

"The Eight Gods combine their attacks to slay the evil tiger."

But when Xia Er sorted out the memories of the Four Spirit Generals and extracted the contents of the Innate Qiankun Technique from them, when Xia Er opened his eyes, he saw that the divine power on the eight stone tablets that had previously been peering into their power was rapidly draining away, and then being blasted towards the Crystal War Tiger by the eight guys who had absorbed the divine power.

"What a waste!" Xia Er cursed under his breath, then watched as his divine power was completely exhausted, and the entire war tiger shattered into pieces with a deafening roar. After the war tiger was destroyed, its tiger soul immediately returned to its original form, emitting a red light. The eight people who had absorbed the divine power to attack were also thrown back by the recoil, and entered a state of overexertion and exhaustion.

However, just as the eight experts, excluding Xia Er, were blasted away and fell into a state of exhaustion, the Tiger Soul Blade was directly stuck in the ground, exposed to everyone without any obstruction, and could be easily seized by anyone.

Just then, someone leaped out and grabbed the hilt of the Tiger Soul Blade, lifting it up.

"Hahahaha!" This was a short, dwarf-like figure who held the Tiger Soul Blade high, shouting, "Tiger Soul Blade shines again! Heaven and Earth reign supreme!!" He was Jue Tianji, a subordinate of the Heavenly Venerable Envoy Yan Shen of the Heavenly Alliance. When he held the Tiger Soul Blade, it immediately emitted a red glow and evil power. Infected by this power, Jue Tianji instantly felt boundless strength. His appearance also underwent a drastic change, his face becoming ferocious, his hair disheveled, with sharp ears and fangs, transforming him into a demon.

However, Jue Tianji didn't notice this. Instead, he felt an endless surge of power within his body, a power so strong that he had the illusion that it was enough to overturn rivers and seas, and that he had to unleash it. So, wielding the Tiger Soul Blade, Jue Tianji laughed wildly and swung the greatsword, instantly slashing at the innocent martial arts experts watching from the sidelines.

The first victim was born, killed by Jue Tianji's single strike. Even in death, his flesh and blood turned to ash, absorbed by the ferocious blade, Tiger Soul. After consuming Tiger Soul, Jue Tianji underwent another transformation. His muscles swelled, his bones lengthened, and his height more than doubled by a foot. Then, the mutated Jue Tianji, like a wild beast, let out a howl to the sky and continued his carnage.

"It feels like these guys are just here to get themselves killed." Watching their so-called martial arts 'experts' get completely overwhelmed, Xia Er sighed inwardly. What were these people even doing here? They served no purpose whatsoever, but they were absolutely masters at feeding the enemy kills.

With a wave of his hand, chains of energy extended, and Xia Er directly pulled the weak and powerless Wentian back from the danger zone.

"Uncle-Master!?" Wentian breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Xia Er awake. To be honest, this journey to find the sword had truly broadened his horizons, and it had also made Wentian feel intense danger, especially the terrifying evil power of the Tiger Soul Sword. This power made Wentian, who was already beginning to be influenced by Nuwa's divine power, feel a sense of rejection, as well as a strong sense of danger.

However, just as Xia Er pulled Wentian back, he also alerted Jue Tianji, who was wielding the Tiger Soul Blade and slaughtering indiscriminately. He turned around and saw that Xia Er had regained consciousness. Then, blinded by the power of the Tiger Soul Blade, he was overcome by evil thoughts and had an impulse to kill Xia Er and devour his flesh and power through the Tiger Soul Blade.

During the recent carnage, Jue Tianji had already discovered that the stronger the target he killed, the greater the power that the Tiger Soul absorbed and fed back to him. Therefore, laughing wildly, Jue Tianji directly beheaded a skilled martial artist and charged towards the forces of Beiming Manor.

"Kneel down, all of you! I'll make your deaths easier!" Jue Tianji shouted arrogantly as he charged forward.

"Idiot!" Facing the seemingly formidable Jue Tianji, Xia Er cursed, looking at this Jue Tianji, who was affected by Tiger Soul and then suffered a debuff called "brain-dead," with the eyes of someone who pitied an idiot. "Moron, get out of the way!"

The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi Lock was unleashed, directly pulling and sealing off Jue Tianji's movements and Tiger Soul Blade in mid-air. However, Jue Tianji roared madly, the Tiger Soul Blade shone brightly red, and the primordial qi chains binding his body actually showed signs of cracking.

"Trying to outdo me in control?!" Xia Er was taken aback, then sneered. The red light emitted by the Tiger Soul actually began to vie with him for control of the surrounding天地元气 (heaven and earth energy). If the Tiger Soul were in the hands of its original master, Chi You, that would be one thing, but trying to outmaneuver a puppet with micro-manipulation skills of energy control? Ha!

"A puppet dares to challenge me? Tiger Soul, aren't you being far too arrogant!" With a sneer, Xia Er waved his hand, tightening the energy chains and unleashing a gust of wind. "Get lost, you bastard!" Raising his hand, the Free and Unfettered - Magnetic Field Domain opened, unleashing a whirlwind attack. Instantly, a compressed whirlwind swept Jue Tianji into it, tearing him to pieces with a thousand cuts and countless blades. The poor fellow, blinded by Tiger Soul's power, couldn't even utter a single word before being torn to pieces and reduced to ashes by the whirlwind.

Just as everyone witnessed Xia Er instantly obliterate Jue Tianji, the turbulent currents created by the raging winds propelled the Tiger Soul Blade far away. However, this time, none of the martial arts masters dared to forcibly seize it, for the previous thief had already turned into ashes.

Could it be that destiny is on the side of Beiming Manor?!

This is the question on everyone's mind. First of all, they have the Shennong Ruler, a divine weapon that has been lost for a long time, and they also have Xia Er, a super master who has temporarily shown his powerful martial arts, in charge. No matter how you look at it, it seems like a situation that is destined by fate.

The entire hall fell silent. However, the disciples of Beiming Manor soon erupted in excitement. Xia Er's single-handed killing of Jue Tianji, who wielded the Tiger Soul Sword, proved that Beiming Manor was the undisputed winner of this sword-seizing expedition. It seemed their dominance of the martial world was just around the corner!

"Ah Lei!" Xia Er said to Bei Ming Lei, who had been standing by for a while, "Take the knife, and then we'll retreat!" Nodding, Bei Ming Lei excitedly ran towards the Tiger Soul Blade. Those guys who originally had the idea of ​​seizing the knife couldn't help but temporarily extinguish that idea in the face of the pressure Xia Er exerted.

However, just then, as Bei Minglei's hand was about to grasp the hilt of the Tiger Soul Blade, a black figure suddenly shot out from among the remaining people with lightning speed. Using superb lightness skills, the figure instantly appeared beside Bei Minglei before his hand even touched the hilt.

Bei Minglei was immediately shocked, but before he could react, he was struck by a palm and sent flying backward, coughing up blood. The black figure who had knocked Bei Minglei away and severely injured him instantly reached out and grabbed the Tiger Soul sword, pulling it out. Then, without hesitation, it unleashed several sword energies in the direction Bei Minglei had flown.

A chain of primordial energy appeared, pulling at Bei Ming Lei who had been knocked away. Then it extended to meet the Tiger Soul Blade Qi. Crack! The chain of primordial energy was shattered by the blade Qi, but the blade Qi was also blocked and dissipated.

"Haha, you didn't expect that, did you? I, the Flame God, am the true master of Tiger Soul!"

The dark figure flickered, revealing a man with strange red patterns on his face—none other than the Celestial Envoy, Flame God.

Leave

That's all for today, only one update. I'm going to another city for a classmate's banquet and won't be back until very late. Sorry! Let me check, I'll try to do five updates in the next few days! The remaining two chapters are owed, since I probably won't be home until after 10 pm tonight, and besides, I don't cultivate immortality...

375. Flame God

Yan Shen, an ambitious and aspiring man. Originally a member of the Great Rakshasa Sect, he was defeated by the combined forces of the previous generation's Nangong family head and Bei Mingzheng when he led his troops to the Central Plains with the intention of conquering the entire martial arts world. Both his cunning and martial arts skills surpassed those of the fierce Yama King, who had been killed by Xia Er.

Upon learning that the Fiend King had been killed at Beiming Manor, this cunning fellow immediately became cowardly. Although he still dispatched men to attack, as in the original story, he himself went into hiding, blending into the crowd of martial artists heading to Babao Manor. This allowed him to witness firsthand the power of the activated Heavenly Weapon during the arena battle, and to see Xia Er withstand the clash of divine energy from the activated Heavenly Weapon.

Therefore, Yan Shen knew very well that he was no match for Xia Er. Without the Heavenly Weapon, if he were to encounter Xia Er, he would surely die. So he continued to secretly and silently lurk among the group, waiting until this moment before suddenly striking, severely injuring Bei Ming Lei with a single palm strike and snatching the Tiger Soul Blade.

"So what if your Beiming Manor is the strongest? You were still completely outmaneuvered by me, the Flame God!" The Flame God, wielding the Tiger Soul Blade, laughed wildly. Compared to Jue Tianji, the Flame God far surpassed him in both skill and composure. He wasn't affected by the Tiger Soul Blade's primordial spirit, nor did he become a slave to the blade. Instead, he directly activated the Tiger Soul Blade's divine power, causing it to emit a red light far more intense than in Jue Tianji's hands. "I reign supreme over heaven and earth! I am the number one under heaven, invincible!!" The radiating red light formed a figure behind the Flame God with fiery fury—a blatant depiction of the ferocious Chi You. The arrogant Flame God, at this moment, was a veritable demon reborn.

"Number one in the world, invincible? Should I say you're too confident, or too overconfident?!" A mocking laugh rang out, and several chains of energy swept across the sky, lashing directly at the Flame God wielding the Tiger Soul Blade. Xia Er was being sarcastic and mocking. While the Flame God hadn't become a slave to the blade, he was still affected by the Tiger Soul Blade. Which is more important, oneself or the weapon? In this world, the answer is oneself. There are only invincible people, not invincible divine weapons. While divine weapons may seem powerful, there are many in this world; the so-called Ten Great Divine Weapons are merely the most famous.

"Is that so!?" The Flame God laughed wildly, wielding his Tiger Soul Blade, shattering the sweeping chains of elemental energy into primordial energy. He confidently shouted, "Then I'll show you the true power of the Tiger Soul Blade! Everyone must kneel and submit to me, or else..."

"Kill without mercy!!" The Flame God arrogantly wielded the Tiger Soul Blade, unleashing his Phoenix Divine Skill. With a single move, the Qilin Dismemberment, he unleashed a sky full of blade energy, indiscriminately slashing at everyone in the entire hall.

How terrifying was the blade energy unleashed by the Tiger Soul Blade? It truly could cleave through metal and gold; ordinary weapons couldn't even offer resistance before being shattered. Only those wielding second-tier divine weapons or possessing exceptional martial arts skills could barely withstand it. In an instant, blade energy splattered in all directions throughout the hall, and those unable to withstand it were practically torn to shreds in a flash.

"Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy Lock - Heavenly Net!"

Faced with the sweeping storm of sword energy, Xia Er was slightly surprised. The Tiger Soul in the hands of the Flame God was far more powerful than the one in the hands of Jue Tianji. However, it was still within his control. He directly engaged the Tiger Soul in a battle of elemental energy manipulation, using elemental energy chains to create a net in front of all the disciples of Beiming Manor, blocking all the sword energy attacks aimed at him.

"Die!" Seeing that Xia Er had single-handedly intercepted most of the sword energy, the Flame God's expression hardened. He realized that his assessment of Xia Er had fallen far short. However, at this moment, the Tiger Soul Blade in his hand began to tremble slightly. A new power surged from the Tiger Soul Blade into his body, causing his strength to increase dramatically. With unparalleled confidence, he lunged directly at Xia Er. The Tiger Soul Blade flashed, instantly tearing apart the large net formed by the energy chains.

"Is that so? Then let's see who dies first!" The Tiger Soul Blade tore through the net of primordial energy, and the Flame God heard Xia Er's voice. Immediately afterward, he saw a blade reflected directly in front of him.

Clang!

Blade and edge clashed, Luo Yang and Hu Po directly confronting each other. However, Hu Po's power, enough to shatter a second-level divine weapon, failed to destroy Luo Yang; instead, they became locked in a stalemate. The floor beneath their feet shattered into pieces, and the entire hall seemed to shake violently from the clash of the two weapons.

Seeing that Xia Er had blocked the Tiger Soul Blade, the Flame God was greatly surprised. But immediately, an even stronger power flowed from the Tiger Soul Blade. It seemed that the Tiger Soul's spirit, unwilling to be blocked, directly provided more power to the Flame God. Empowered by the Tiger Soul's divine energy, the Flame God roared, and raging flames erupted from his body. These flames converged and transformed into a phoenix spreading its wings, swooping down on Xia Er along with the Tiger Soul's downward strike.

Facing the descending fire phoenix, Xia Er did not retreat at all. Instead, he instantly activated his magnetic field domain, extended his sense of time, and began to continuously accumulate power on Luo Yang's blade.

Layer upon layer of magnetic field domains were attached to the blade, and Xia Er also swung his blade, bringing a blade light that also emitted a red glow to meet it head-on.

The twin blades clashed, their magnetic fields clashing against the Tiger Soul Divine Energy. To the onlookers, the entire world seemed to distort at that moment. Simultaneously, sound vanished, and all was calm, as if nothing had happened. However, extremes beget their opposites. Immediately, a dazzling light surged forth, unleashing a destructive force that swept in all directions, like a demon engulfing the earth and devouring everything. The shockwaves were like tsunamis and landslides, or the passing of a typhoon.

boom!!!!!!

The powerful collision instantly sent all the survivors flying like ants. At the same time, a surge of red light erupted, soaring into the sky and shattering the top of the hall, completely disintegrating the mountain into a chaotic mess of rocks and clouds.

In the chaos, a beam of red light shot straight into the sky, reaching the clouds. Outside the blasted mountainside, dark clouds filled the sky, thunder raged, and countless bolts of lightning struck down from the sky, directly hitting the beam of red light and the two people whose blades clashed within it.

376. The Flame God is still going to fall.

The battle escalated into the sky, reaching for the heavens, when lightning descended, intending to obliterate the two who had extended their fight to the ninth heaven. But unfortunately for them, neither of them was afraid of mere thunder and lightning.

A crimson aura of malevolence swept across the sky as the Flame God slashed at lightning with the Tiger Soul Blade, his ferocity unmatched. From high above, the peaks of Mount Tai were utterly destroyed, revealing a fault line over a hundred feet in diameter. Leaping into the air, fueled by the inexhaustible power of the Tiger Soul Blade, the Flame God, arrogant and unrestrained, continued his assault on another enemy who had also soared into the clouds, while simultaneously slashing at lightning.

The magnetic field expanded without limit, directly absorbing the lightning from the heavens. Amidst the flashes and thunder, the magnetic field materialized into golden lightning bolts crisscrossing the sky. The ever-rotating magnetic field, carrying ever-growing power, fiercely clashed with the Flame God, who possessed divine power provided by the Tiger Soul.

On one side was the Tiger Soul Divine Blade, the most ferocious and vicious among the divine weapons. On the other side was a double-edged sword, imbued with even greater power under the frenzied operation of the magnetic field. Clearly, the Tiger Soul Blade held an unparalleled advantage in terms of weaponry. However, it was only a negligible advantage and was not enough to suppress Xia Er. On the contrary, he was struggling against the destructive power, and bloody marks had already appeared on the Flame God's body, but his body could still continue to endure it.

His opponent, Xia Er, was in far better shape, showing no signs of weakening. Even while battling the Flame God, he still had the energy to send a telepathic message down below: "Wen Tian! Take Xue, Lei, and all the disciples down the mountain, quickly..."

"Roar!!" The Flame God roared, and the Phoenix Divine Art was running wildly, once again condensing a far more magnificent flaming phoenix dharma image than before, which appeared in the sky, as if an ancient divine beast had truly broken through the river of time and descended into this world.

"Go to hell!" the Flame God roared, the Tiger Soul Blade's light, accompanied by the fiery phoenix, traversed the heavens, shattering countless bolts of lightning, before hurtling towards Xia Er. "The Phoenix is ​​invincible, dominating the world; the Tiger Soul Blade shines anew, reigning supreme over heaven and earth!"

"Without Tiger Soul's inexhaustible supply of divine energy, do you think you could have fought me to this extent?" Luo Yang met Tiger Soul's attack head-on, but Xia Er was directly thrown back into the sky. Below, the Flame God, rousing even greater power, transformed into a fiery phoenix and soared into the sky, intending to completely annihilate Xia Er, an enemy capable of contending with Tiger Soul.

“That height is enough!” However, Xia Er did not show the slightest fear in the face of the Flame Phoenix. Instead, he smiled confidently, looked down at the Flame Phoenix that the Flame God had transformed into, and raised his hand high towards the sky. “The Phoenix Divine Art can be considered a divine and demonic martial art. It’s just a pity that it is far inferior in its conception. It can even be said that the user’s third-rate level has buried this martial art that imitates the primordial divine beast.”

"Now, the game is over!" The magnetic field expanded, spreading directly from Xia Er's body and enveloping the clouds in the sky. From below, it looked like a vast golden net had been unfurled, encompassing the heavens and the universe.

Is this something humans can do? At least below, the remaining experts who hadn't perished in the aftershocks couldn't help but ask this question as they witnessed the battle in the sky. To fight against natural disasters with human bodies, to use human bodies to control the universe—this was beyond the imagination of those below. At least, until those unimaginable experts who hadn't yet appeared or arrived appeared, these people below couldn't fathom such a world-destroying battle.

Of course, they could see it all later, but for now, they had to leave. This was no longer a battle they could interfere with or even watch. Wentian, Beimingxue, Beiminglei, and Niulang exchanged glances and immediately led the surviving disciples of Beiming Manor, frantically using their lightness skills to run down the mountain. Meanwhile, the others also sensed something was wrong. The earth was trembling, violent tremors shook their feet, and at the mountaintop, cracking sounds echoed continuously… With a thunderous boom, a column of lava erupted from the hole and shot into the sky.

The birth of Tiger Soul directly affected the ley lines of this region. In addition, Tiger Soul is now continuously providing divine power to the Flame God. Influenced by the divine power transmitted from Tiger Soul, which originated from the ferocious god Chi You, the magma activity has become abnormal. Furthermore, the magnetic field net above the nine heavens has opened, covering the sky and absorbing endless power.

The uncontrollable ley lines were thrown into complete chaos, and lava erupted, forming a new active volcano. As the sea of ​​lava and fire fell, everyone was terrified, frantically running for their lives, desperately trying to escape beneath the inferno.

……

A golden magnetic net spread out, enveloping the sky. Lightning and thunder from the clouds were drawn together by this net. Endless lightning roared above, like an endless sea of ​​thunder surging into the world. Bolts of lightning as thick as buckets crashed down from the sky, aimlessly bombarding the earth below.

Within this sea of ​​lightning, a fiery phoenix, its wings outstretched, attempted to break through the thunder and lightning, soaring through the heavens. However, alas, even with the divine power of the Tiger Soul, the Flame God's foundation and strength were ultimately insufficient. If it were truly a martial arts master who had reached this near-divine realm, they would have had ample means to contend with this calamity of the heavens.

Whether it was the ever-growing Rakshasa Divine Art or the pinnacle of sword and saber techniques, both could directly clash with force to blast down the sea of ​​lightning. However, unfortunately, the Flame God, who had reached this level by actively channeling divine power into his Tiger Soul, clearly lacked the ability to control it. He could only unleash less than twenty percent of his full power. Moreover, he was facing an opponent whose mastery of energy control was far superior, perhaps only comparable to a true god or demon descending to earth.

"Goodbye!" Watching the phoenix, already showing signs of weakness under the thunder and lightning, Xia Er clenched his fist, his golden magnetic net closing in, pulling in the endless lightning as well. Finally, all the thunder and lightning in the sky, drawn by Xia Er's magnetic net, converged in his hand. Positive and negative charges collided wildly, producing even more dazzling lightning. Now, this power of the heavens was firmly grasped in Xia Er's hand, transformed into a lightning spear.

Having experienced being slapped in the face by a heavenly tribulation, and having witnessed the earth-shattering power used by the incredibly overpowered Ji Fa in the memories of the Four Spirit Generals, Xia Er naturally accelerated his analysis of the world's rules. Now, using martial arts to manipulate magic is more than enough for him.

Therefore, this strike is—Free and Unfettered - Magnetic Field Domain - Electrical Collapse of the Two Poles.

The Thunder Spear, hurled by Charles, transformed into a massive golden beam of light that crashed down upon the soaring fiery phoenix. A mournful cry rang out; even the revealed phoenix beast could not withstand the descent of the lightning beam and was utterly torn apart and destroyed.

The figure of the Flame God also fell from the sky after the Flame Phoenix was destroyed, crashing into the erupting lava.

377. Meeting Chi You

The Battle of Mount Tai ended with the area within a hundred miles engulfed in flames. The vast majority of participants either perished on the way, died in the Demon-Subduing Hall, or were swallowed by the final lava inferno. Only a small number survived. The four great families also suffered heavy losses in this battle, with the Beiming family faring relatively well. However, when the lava inferno descended, Wentian, wielding the Shennong Ruler, was separated from the main force. Most of the remaining disciples of Beiming Manor survived.

As for where Yan Shen, who obtained the Tiger Soul Blade, and Xia Er, who fought against it and whose battle caused the heavens and earth to change color, went, no one knew, and no one had time to care, because the Heaven and Earth Alliance launched its offensive, beginning to besiege the four great families and a group of leaderless righteous martial arts practitioners.

Where did the Flame God go? It's simple: he fell into a volcanic eruption, into the lava. Even though he was a master martial artist, and had mastered the Phoenix Divine Skill, granting him natural resistance to fire, he still couldn't withstand the endless sea of ​​lava. However, at the last moment, Chi You's primordial spirit remotely channeled divine power into the Flame God's body, not only helping him withstand the natural disaster but also enhancing his own power.

Unfortunately, the price was that the Flame God was controlled by Chi You's power.

As if fate were playing a cruel joke, even with Xia Er's intervention, Niu Lang, along with Yu Fa Wang, ended up in Chi You's secret cave after the Battle of Mount Tai. Again, due to his weak will, he was bewitched by a demon and accidentally killed Yu Fa Wang. Then, seemingly by destiny, he arrived at an ice cave and learned the first five forms of Chi You's sword technique, the Seven Limits of Devouring Heaven and Annihilating Heaven. But because of this, it was as if he was ordained to walk the path of inevitable descent into demonic possession.
