Creak!
The gate of the flaming palace opened again, and a fiery red figure entered the palace.
"Kid, hand over the inheritance."
Huo Hen had finally reached the 99th step of the Stairway to Heaven through his own efforts, including using a forbidden technique. He thought that he could get the inheritance.
However, when he reached the 99th step, he found that the shadow in the flaming palace had already dissipated.
The only explanation was that Fang Chen had already gotten the inheritance.
Therefore, Huo Hen wanted to force Fang Chen to hand over the inheritance at all costs. Otherwise, he wouldn't mind killing Fang Chen.
Fang Chen was a little surprised when he saw Huo Hen enter. He didn't expect Huo Hen to reach the 99th step.
"Kid, hand over the inheritance, or I'll kill you," Huo Hen said coldly.
"The inheritance is indeed with me, but I won't hand it over to you," Fang Chen said.
Why would he hand over the inheritance that he had worked so hard to get to Huo Hen? Moreover, Huo Hen wasn't a good person.
"You're courting death."
Huo Hen snorted coldly. He clenched his fist, channeled all his strength, and threw a punch at Fang Chen.
Bang!
Fang Chen didn't show any weakness. He threw a punch at Huo Hen.
Deng! Deng!
After the two punched each other, Fang Chen was surprised to find that Huo Hen had actually taken a few steps back.
"Well, you're injured," Fang Chen said as he stared at Huo Hen.
Huo Hen was furious and roared, "Even if I'm injured, don't think that you can escape from me!"
Huo Hen finished his words and attacked Fang Chen again. A fierce attack was launched instantly.
The two of them fought fiercely, but when Fang Chen used the Taiyi Dispersing Light Sword, Huo Hen was instantly defeated.
"Damn it, if I didn't use a forbidden technique, I wouldn't have lost to him," Huo Hen roared in his heart.
After a moment of fierce fighting, Huo Hen was stabbed in the arm by Fang Chen's Hidden Dragon Sword. His body was directly pushed back.
Huo Hen steadied himself and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Fang Chen. A hint of fear appeared in his heart. He was currently seriously injured and was no match for Fang Chen.
In an instant, Huo Hen made the decision to retreat.
"Brat, just you wait. I won't let you go."
After Huo Hen finished speaking, his body flashed and he left the Flame Palace.
When Huo Hen came out of the Flame Palace, all the warriors stared at Huo Hen, wanting to know if he had obtained the inheritance.
Huo Hen was already very angry. After seeing everyone's gaze, he coldly snorted. Immediately, he pushed off the ground and directly descended from the Sky Stairway, disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Why did Huo Hen leave? Did he obtain an inheritance?" Zhuge Yuan asked doubtfully.
Just as everyone was puzzled, Fang Chen walked out of the flame palace.
"Fang Chen came out," a disciple exclaimed.
After seeing Fang Chen, Feng Yin's eyes flashed with a trace of heat. "Even if he didn't obtain the inheritance, he must have gained a lot of benefits."
The moment Fang Chen came out of the Flame Palace, the Flame Palace disappeared into thin air. The ninety-nine steps of the Sky Stairway also dissipated in an instant.
Many warriors on the Sky Stairway fell directly to the mountain peak.
"Brat, you obtained the inheritance?" Feng Yin stared at Fang Chen unkindly and asked in a deep voice.
Fang Chen raised his eyebrows, glanced at Feng Yin, and said, "So what if I obtained it? So what if I didn't?"
"It seems that you obtained the inheritance. Brat, obediently hand it over." Feng Yin grinned.
"Feng Yin, don't go too far." Zhuge Yuan and others walked to Fang Chen's side and said coldly.
"Zhuge Yuan, it's none of your business. You'd better not interfere." Feng Yin said strongly.
Beside Feng Yin stood several disciples of the Clear Breeze Lake. They were also glaring at Fang Chen, wanting to force Fang Chen to hand over the inheritance.
Fang Chen's face was indifferent. He looked at Feng Yin and asked, "You want the inheritance?"
"Of course." Feng Yin said.
"Then do you dare to make a bet with me?" Fang Chen asked.
"What bet?" Feng Yin was puzzled.
"The two of us will fight. Whoever wins will get the inheritance." Fang Chen said.
"Okay, I hope you won't regret it." Feng Yin was secretly delighted.
"Fang Chen, you …" Zhuge Yuan and others were worried about Fang Chen. After all, Feng Yin's strength was comparable to Zhuge Yuan's. Fang Chen was not his opponent.
"Senior Brother Zhuge, just watch." Fang Chen said confidently.
Then Fang Chen took a step forward and coldly looked at Feng Yin. "Make your move, or you won't have a chance."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Feng Yin's heart burned with anger. He clenched his fist, and the spiritual energy in his True Core instantly poured into his fist. Then he punched at Fang Chen.
Feng Yin's strength was comparable to Feng Xueshan, so in Fang Chen's eyes, he was just an ant. The funny thing was that Feng Yin was secretly delighted, thinking that he could defeat Fang Chen.
"Taiyi Diffraction Sword, seventh level."
Seeing Feng Yin make his move, Fang Chen instantly displayed the seventh level of Taiyi Diffraction Sword. Sword light instantly filled the sky.
Fang Chen did not intend to waste time. He directly integrated the sword power into the Hidden Dragon Sword, and then controlled the sword light to bombard Feng Yin.
Rumble …
When the sword light that filled the sky collided with the fist light, it instantly exploded. Seeing this, Zhuge Yuan and the others were also shocked.
"Fang Chen's strength is tyrannical to this extent." Zhuge Yuan thought to himself.
Just as Zhuge Yuan was shocked, Fang Chen once again launched a fierce attack. The Hidden Dragon Sword combined with the Taiyi Diffraction Sword was extremely powerful.
Moreover, Fang Chen's cultivation had reached the Fourth Realm of Qi Transformation, and he had once killed Feng Xueshan. So a mere Feng Yin was nothing to him.
"Taiyi Diffraction Sword."
When Fang Chen displayed the Taiyi Diffraction Sword again, Feng Yin finally felt that something was wrong.
"How is this possible?"
When Feng Yin's fist technique was broken, he cried out involuntarily.
However, it was too late. The Hidden Dragon Sword pierced through his fist and directly into his arm.
Bang!
Feng Yin's body directly flew out, and the disciples of the Cool Breeze Lake surrounded Feng Yin.
"How can you be so strong?" Feng Yin's heart was filled with unwillingness. How could a warrior with such a low cultivation be so strong?
"It must be the inheritance of the Flame Palace." Feng Yin thought to himself.
But at this time, Feng Yin no longer had the strength to fight. A trace of fear appeared in his heart.
"I give up fighting for the inheritance!" Feng Yin shouted loudly.
"You give up just because you say so?"
Fang Chen didn't intend to let Feng Yin and the others leave from the beginning. Hearing Feng Yin's words, Fang Chen sneered.
"Brat, you dare to kill our Breeze Lake's disciples?" A disciple beside Feng Yin asked coldly.
"Whether I dare to kill or not, you'll know once you try."
As soon as Fang Chen's voice fell, a sword light flashed. Suddenly, a Breeze Lake disciple fell to the ground, lifeless.
"Stop! My Breeze Lake gives up the inheritance!" Feng Yin roared.
However, Fang Chen didn't want to let a tiger return to the mountain.
Every step was filled with killing intent. When Fang Chen arrived in front of Feng Yin, all the disciples of the Cool Breeze Lake had already been killed by Fang Chen.
Looking at the surrounding disciples falling one by one, Feng Yin roared loudly, "Madman, you're a madman!"
"Go to hell."
Fang Chen sneered and used the Taiyi Diffraction Sword. A cold light directly pierced Feng Yin's body.
Feng Yin's eyes were wide open. He died with remaining grievances.
This series of changes shocked Zhuge Yuan and the others. Fang Chen's strength was tyrannical to the point that he could casually kill Feng Yin.
After a long time, Zhuge Yuan slowly said, "Fang Chen, your progress is too fast. I'm ashamed of my inferiority."
Zhuge Yuan's strength was comparable to Feng Yin's. Fang Chen was able to kill Feng Yin, so naturally, he was stronger than Zhuge Yuan.
"Fang Chen, you're really domineering. You killed all the disciples of Breeze Lake." Fatty Xiao Haobo grinned.
"Not killing them is tantamount to letting a tiger return to the mountain." Dugu Feng said.
"Fang Chen, well done. I've long been displeased with the disciples of Breeze Lake. Unfortunately, I don't have the strength to kill them." Cheng Fei said.
After Fang Chen killed Feng Yin and the others, he nodded slightly to Zhuge Yuan and the others and said, "Their interspatial rings are yours."
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Zhuge Yuan and the others grinned. This time, Fang Chen had gained the most from the ancient ruins. They had gained almost nothing.
Fang Chen let them take the interspatial rings as compensation. Hearing this, Zhuge Yuan and the others began to collect the interspatial rings.
In the end, Fang Chen took out four hundred million mid-grade spirit stones and handed it to the four of them.
"Fang Chen, what's the meaning of this?" Zhuge Yuan and the others were shocked when they saw the huge number of mid-grade spirit stones and asked.
"If it weren't for you guys, I wouldn't have had the chance to participate in this expedition to the Ancient Ruins. After entering the Ancient Ruins, I've obtained a lot. In fact, I've even obtained the highest level of inheritance. On the other hand, you guys have obtained almost nothing.
"Those three Demonic Dragon Flowers, I have some use for them. I hope you can sell them to me." Fang Chen said.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Zhuge Yuan and the others didn't say anything else. Each of them received a hundred million mid-grade spirit stones with smiles on their faces.
That was a hundred million mid-grade spirit stones. Even Huo Hen and the others' gains this time weren't worth a hundred million mid-grade spirit stones.
Thinking of this, Zhuge Yuan and the others felt that Fang Chen was even more unfathomable. There weren't many people who could take out four hundred million mid-grade spirit stones so casually.
"Fang Chen, we'll definitely be friends with you. As for the Demonic Dragon Flowers, you can take them away." The four of them laughed.
Four hundred million mid-grade spirit stones was a huge sum for the four of them. However, to Fang Chen, it was just a drop in the ocean.
Previously, he had 1.8 billion mid-grade spirit stones left. After the golden heart absorbed two hundred million mid-grade spirit stones, he was left with 1.6 billion.
After giving the four of them a total of four hundred million, Fang Chen still had 1.2 billion mid-grade spirit stones left.
