Fire Realm

The words fell and an old man with white long hair and wearing a full set of golden armor appeared, looking at Liu Feng and Gu Ling'er threateningly.

Even then, the golden palm's movement didn't stop.

Liu Feng saw the golden palm that faintly exuded the aura of a Saint falling towards him and Gu Ling'er and his expression turned solemn.

His aura surged and he took a sword out of his space ring and swung it towards the palm.

"Crack...crack!"

The moment the sword and the golden palm came into contact, the palm showed obvious cracks all over its body, before it shattered into pieces.

However, Liu Feng was also forced back to take a few steps back as a result of their collision.

"Huh?", the old man was a little surprised and swept Liu Feng with his spiritual consciousness.

It was only now that he noticed that Liu Feng was also a Saint cultivator like him.

When Liu Feng regained his balance, he looked at the old man in golden armor and spoke up.

"Fellow Taoist, are you sure you want to go against my Gu Clan?"

His words contained a hint of threat.

When they collided, Liu Feng found that the old man was actually slightly stronger than him.

Moreover, he also had to take care of Gu Ling'er, making him unable to exert his full combat power, falling into disadvantage.

That's why he decided to mention the Gu Clan.

He felt that most cultivators would never dare to offend him with his background.

When the old man heard his words, just like Liu Feng expected, he hesitated a bit.

In fact, he had just entered the Dark Mirror Forest when he saw the majestic vision in the sky.

From the vision, he sensed a familiar aura, the aura of his family's ancestor.

According to his family's ancient books, their ancestor was a powerful Saint King that controlled one of the famous Heavenly Flames.

Before he died, he left a special place of inheritance, hoping that one day, his descendants will come and receive it.

When he rushed here and found Liu Feng and Gu Ling'er, he suspected that the two of them were the ones that opened the inheritance and that's why he took action directly.

'No, no matter how strong the Gu Clan is, I can't let other people receive my ancestor's inheritance.'

In addition, if he was able to control the Heavenly Flame, the old man felt that he would be able to fight even against Saint King cultivators.

Then, it wouldn't matter whether he offended the Gu Clan.

The old man suppressed the fear in his heart, regained his calmness and spoke up.

"Fellow Taoist, you are the ones that coveted something that isn't yours."

"As long as you are willing to leave this place and don't interfere, I can forget today's offense."

If it was possible, the old man didn't want to completely offend Liu Feng.

Liu Feng saw that the old man didn't care about Gu Clan's face and he was a little angry.

How could a little Saint disregard the powerful Gu Clan?

Besides, just from the vision that appeared before, it was obvious that the inheritance of a powerful person had been born.

Liu Feng, who had just increased his cultivation by taking the Saint Pill, was not willing to give it up.

The old man saw Liu Feng's expression and sighed.

He knew that he couldn't settle today's matter peacefully.

"Then forgive me but I can't let you interfere with my ancestor's inheritance."

The moment his words fell, the old man took action directly.

His aura surged and sacred light appeared behind him, illuminating everything around him.

Despite the light's sacredness, it also contained unimaginable sharpness and a hint of inviolable majesty.

Very quickly, it turned into hundreds of golden spears made out of light and fell towards Liu Feng.

Liu Feng also reacted immediately and swung his sword, meeting the golden spears mid-air.

Boom!

The sword and the spears collided, cancelling each other out.

The two didn't stop however, and continued attacking each other.

In the blink of an eye, the two fought hundreds of times, with sword versus spear and punch versus palm.

Normally, the fight between two Saints would cause destruction everywhere around them, but now, their fight didn't affect their surroundings at all, as if it was the fight between two ordinary mortals.

This is because Liu Feng was worried about Gu Ling'er being hurt, while the old man was worried that their fight would affect the inheritance space and bring unforeseen changes.

As if they had an agreement, their fight slowly moved away from the mountain.

Soon after they left this place, some cultivators arrived.

With their strength, they were unable to discover that two Saints were fighting near this place and were completely clueless.

After they searched a bit for the source of the vision, they managed to find the hole where the inheritance space was located.

Most of them flew right into the hole, while some of the more careful cultivators stayed outside, waiting to see if there was any danger and whether this was a trap.

***

The source of all of this, Xiao Huo, was completely clueless about all the trouble his actions had caused.

When he entered the colorful miniature world inside the dark coffin, Xiao Huo felt that his body was shrinking continuously, before he was teleported.

The next moment, he entered the colorful miniature world.

While Xiao Huo was recovering from the dizziness caused by the teleportation, Li Yuan's split soul looked around.

The place where they were teleported was a jungle, with massive trees and plants, birds flying in the air and animals shuttling through the jungle.

If it was not for the fact that everything was made out of orange flames, Li Yuan would have thought that he had returned to Earth and entered the Amazon Rainforest.

That's right.

Whether it was the plants, the birds, the other animals, or even the earth itself, they were all made completely out of flames.

Even though Li Yuan was only a split soul and should not be able to feel anything, he had the illusion that he was inside a hot, burning furnace.

Shaking his head, he stopped thinking about it and spoke to Xiao Huo.

"Little friend, wake up. You have to hurry. Other cultivators should have found this place for now."

Li Yuan's words seemed to contain a hint of magic power, wiping out Xiao Huo's dizziness and waking him up.

It was only now that Xiao Huo saw everything around him.

While secretly amazed, he felt that his whole body was filled with powerful strength, as if he was the darling of this world made out of fire.

As a cultivator that practiced fire techniques and had a close relationship with Heavenly Flames, Xiao Huo increased countless times in this place.

However, Xiao Huo couldn't care about this at the moment and focused on obtaining the Saint King's inheritance first.

With a sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he searched around, until he found the existence of a tiger about hundreds of meters away from here.

With a move of his legs, he took flight and in an instant, he was in the sky right above the tiger.

The tiger looked completely ordinary, provided that you ignored the fact that it was made out of fire.

Its aura was roughly equivalent to only a Qi Condensation cultivator and Xiao Huo had no trouble dealing with it.

With a wave of his hands, flames gathered in front of him and turned into a 1-meter fireball.

He didn't stop and more and more flames flew into the fireball, increasing its size and at the same time, causing its temperature to surge.

Finally, when he felt that it was strong enough, he threw it towards the tiger.

Only now did the tiger notice Xiao Huo's existence.

It roared angrily and wanted to pounce on him, but before it could react, the burning fireball fell onto it, completely incinerating it.

The moment it died, its ashes gathered into an orange seed that was made out of fire.

When Li Yuan saw it, his eyes glowed with a purple light and he tried to peek its essence.

Just like the runes he had previously seen on the passage's walls, this fire seed seemed to allow people to directly comprehend the Dao.

"Is this the fire seed of a Heavenly Flame?", he murmured unconsciously and stared at it carefully.
