Jian Qingyun clenched his fists tightly, his purlicue hurting.
The five portions of Origin of Wind that his brother, Jian Moyun, had obtained for him had been depleted. However, Jian Qingyun was not injured at all. This made Jian Qingyun's expression turn grave.
He reassessed Fang Chen and realized that the Third Level Holy King before him had concealed his strength too well. His combat strength was definitely at the level of a Sixth Level Holy Emperor, or even higher.
Recalling what had happened before, Jian Qingyun even thought that Fang Chen was the trump card of the Heaven-Defying Alliance.
"No wonder the Heaven-Defying Alliance would send a Third Level Holy King to participate in such an important event."
Jian Qingyun said in a low voice.
He rolled his eyes and quickly understood.
"The Origin of Wind has been depleted. My Unparalleled Sword Technique is unable to unleash its full power. It is impossible to defeat him."
Rather than wasting time here, he might as well enter the Demonic Fire Domain.
"Let's go."
Thinking of this, Jian Qingyun waved the long sword in his hand and slashed at Fang Chen.
Just as Fang Chen was about to block, Jian Qingyun's palm jerked and he retreated quickly. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared.
"Trying to escape?"
Fang Chen sneered. He had already been prepared for this.
With a flick of his wrist, the Hidden Star Sword slashed out. A faint sword light pierced through the void and disappeared instantly.
A moment later, in the distant void, there was a scream. Blood splattered all over the flaming passageway. A severed arm was burned by the flames.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
When Fang Chen rushed over, Jian Qingyun had already escaped.
"Substitute Life Charm."
Sensing the aura in the surrounding void, Fang Chen said.
The so-called Substitute Life Charm was a talisman refined by a powerful Talisman Master. This talisman contained an extremely strong power and could replace the owner in a desperate situation to withstand a fatal blow.
Therefore, people called it the Substitute Life Charm.
In the outside world, the Substitute Life Charm was priceless. Even a dominant force like the Heaven-Defying Alliance would not casually give out a Substitute Life Charm to their disciples.
Unexpectedly, Jian Qingyun, the third disciple of the Sword Saint Mountain, actually had a Substitute Life Charm.
"Count yourself lucky this time."
Fang Chen said as he plunged into the depths of the flaming passageway.
Hu hu hu!
After fleeing for an unknown period of time, Jian Qingyun, who was dragging his severed arm, finally walked out of the flaming passageway and entered the Magic Sky Fire Domain.
"Damned fellow."
Jian Qingyun stopped in his tracks and panted heavily. His face was contorted with rage and he wanted nothing more than to tear Fang Chen into pieces.
"The enmity of my severed arm is absolutely irreconcilable! From this day forth, I, Jian Qingyun, will not rest until you're dead!" Jian Qingyun howled into the skies.
…
In a secret place within the flaming passageway.
This place was shrouded in poisonous flames. Ordinary people would have a hard time discovering that in the center of the poisonous flames, there was a flight of stairs made entirely of poisonous flames.
Fang Chen sat cross-legged on the steps with his eyes closed. He was trying to comprehend the blue light trapped in his body.
The blue light was the power released by Jian Qingyun's Unparalleled Sword Principle. The power contained two completely different Origin Energy.
Fang Chen was very curious. What was it that could drive two different types of power to fuse together?
He released his Divine Consciousness and enveloped the blue light.
After being suppressed by the blood, the blue light had already lost its sharpness. It no longer struggled and allowed Fang Chen to invade.
After entering the blue light, Fang Chen realized that there were translucent crystals swimming around. Seeing this, he was stunned.
Epiphanies often happened inadvertently.
At this moment, Fang Chen was in a state of epiphany.
It was as if a brand new door had opened in his mind. He had never thought that different Origins could be combined in such a manner.
The more he comprehended, the more shocked and excited Fang Chen was.
At the same time, Saint Emperor Han Bing and the other three had already gathered in the Magic Sky Fire Domain. They looked at each other and realized that Fang Chen had not arrived.
"Where's Fang Chen?"
Lou Lanxi was slightly anxious.
Zi Die shook her head. "After we entered the flaming passageway, the poisonous flames were too strong and scattered us. We lost contact with him."
"With Fang Chen's strength, the flaming passageway should not be a problem for him," Saint Emperor Mo Bai said.
Saint Emperor Han Bing nodded. "The most important thing now is to kill the Rank 6 Fire Demons. As for Fang Chen, we'll hunt while looking for him."
They came with a mission this time. The Fire Marrow Mine was very important to the Heaven-Defying Alliance. They could not give up such a good opportunity to find Fang Chen.
Although Lou Lanxi was worried about Fang Chen, he had to consider the big picture.
"Fang Chen, I hope you're okay."
Lou Lanxi prayed.
She knew Fang Chen's strength better than the other three. If it was just the flaming passageway, she would not be worried.
As Saint Emperor Han Bing said, the most dangerous thing in the Magic Sky Fire Domain was not the Fire Demons, but the disciples of the other Sect.
The human heart was the most unpredictable.
Especially since Sword Saint Mountain had a grudge with Saint Emperor Han Bing. What if they encountered Fang Chen?
Would they be ambushed?
However, it was useless to think about it now. She flicked her hair and a look of determination flashed in her eyes. She followed Saint Emperor Han Bing and the other two and continued to go deeper.
One day, two days, three days.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
During this time, Fang Chen had been comprehending the Profound of the blue light.
Finally, one day after half a month, he had an epiphany.
Buzz!
He opened his hands and a terrifying golden light shone from his body. It completely covered his body.
The golden light continued to expand and the poisonous fire around him dissipated.
"Condense."
Fang Chen yelled and the power of the Metal Origin quickly condensed into an Origin Star.
Success!
The eighth Origin Star was condensed!
Looking at the eight Origin Stars in his body, Fang Chen smiled brightly.
"I've comprehended almost half of the Metal Origin."
Fang Chen muttered. The blue light was too important to him.
"It's a pity that in order to fully comprehend the Profound of the blue light, I need to comprehend the Wind Origin."
The Five Elemental Origins were divided into Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.
Fang Chen had comprehended the Metal Origin previously.
An Origin was like a Great Dao. When comprehended to the extreme, it could destroy the world.
Very few people could fully comprehend it. It was rare for the younger generation to comprehend almost half of it.
"I've gained a lot from this enlightenment. I've comprehended almost half of the Metal Origin and condensed the eighth Origin Star.
In fact, I even feel that my affinity with the origin of wind has greatly increased.
If there's a Wind Elemental Spiritual Herb, it might help me comprehend the Wind Origin. "
Huff!
When he thought of this, Fang Chen took a deep breath and completely sealed the five dim blue lights within his body. After which, he stood up and looked towards the Magic Sky Fire Domain with a deep gaze.
"Magic Sky Fire Region?"
Fang Chen muttered.
He had a feeling that the trip to the Magic Sky Fire Region might be a major turning point in his life.
He might take the opportunity to climb to the top.
