"What's going on?"
Holy Emperor Frost's face was grave. He could feel a terrifying aura coming from the depths of the Fire Marrow Mine.
The aura was so powerful that his scalp went numb.
"Fang Chen." Lou Lanxi also looked at him anxiously.
"Let's go."
Fang Chen waved his hand and the four of them were sent into the Demon Slayer Array.
"Stay in the Demon Slayer Array. I'll go take a look."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fang Chen's figure flashed and disappeared into the mine, leaving behind four people who looked at each other.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Fang Chen was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he had left the Demon Slayer Array's range and arrived at the depths of the Fire Marrow Mine.
Roar!
Just then, he saw a shocking scene.
An incomparably huge Fire Demon rushed out of the lava formed by the Triple Origin Flames. It raised its head to the sky and let out a furious roar.
"Human?"
When the Fire Demon King saw Fang Chen, its eyes spat fire. It slapped out and the mine shook. Fang Chen felt the world spinning. The palm formed by the Triple Origin Fire swooped down and enveloped Fang Chen.
The surrounding air condensed, but Fang Chen could not care less. With a thought, a Flame Essence Wall instantly appeared in front of him to block.
Rumble!
A deafening sound rang out as the flaming palm collided with the Fire Essence mine, causing the earth to shake.
Crack!
The Flame Devil King's strength was too strong. He directly smashed the Flame Essence Wall with a palm strike. The terrifying shockwave sent Fang Chen flying.
"Rank 7 Fire Demon King?"
Fang Chen cried out involuntarily, his heart trembling.
At the same time, he released the Saint Puppet and wanted to activate it.
However, at this moment, the Fire Demon with its monstrous aura instantly stopped attacking. It widened its eyes and sized up Fang Chen seriously.
Seeing this, Fang Chen was somewhat stunned.
The Fire Demon King shook its head and came to Fang Chen. It sniffed as if it was looking for something.
"What happened?"
Fang Chen was very puzzled. Just now, he had clearly felt that the seventh rank Fire Demon was filled with anger and killing intent towards him. Why did it suddenly stop attacking?
"You … gained the recognition of the Fire Sky Saint?"
The Fire Demon King spoke in human language.
Hearing this, Fang Chen was stunned, and then he understood.
Come to think of it, the Fire Demon King must be related to the Fire Sky Saint. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped.
Fang Chen nodded and told the Fire Demon King what had happened in the valley.
"Hu!"
The Fire Devil King's breathing was a little hurried. Its face was trembling. It was very excited.
"Greetings, Master."
The Fire Demon King knelt on one knee and worshipped Fang Chen sincerely.
"This …"
Fang Chen shrugged, somewhat stunned.
The Fire Demon King stood up and explained the situation in detail.
It turned out that the Fire Demon Clan was once a very powerful clan in the ancient times. However, because of the Battle of God Fall, they were almost wiped out. Only a few clansmen were left and they fled frantically. In the end, they fled to the Demon Sky Fire Region.
For countless years, the people of the Fire Demon Clan lived carefully and worked hard to cultivate. They wanted the Fire Demon Clan to rise again.
However, one day, a mysterious expert came and discovered them. He started a crazy massacre. Fortunately, the Fire Sky Saint appeared in time and saved them.
From then on, the Fire Demon Clan followed the Fire Sky Saint and protected him.
It was a pity that the Fire Sky Saint fell.
"I see."
Hearing this, Fang Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't expect the Fire Demon King in front of him to be the servant of the Fire Sky Saint. He was finally relieved.
"My clan is almost wiped out. Strictly speaking, the Fire Demons living in the Magic Sky Fire Region can't be considered as my pure-blooded descendants …"
Fang Chen could control the ores in the Fire Marrow Mine at will. Moreover, he had the aura of the Fire Sky Saint and the Demon Slayer Formation that the Fire Demon King discovered. He believed in Fang Chen's identity without a doubt.
"The Fire Sky Saint has his reasons for choosing you. From today onwards, you are the new master of the Fire Demon Clan." The Fire Demon King said.
Fang Chen nodded and didn't refuse.
There were many enemies in the Magic Sky Fire Region, such as the Sword Saint Mountain. With such a powerful servant, it would be easy.
"Have you always lived here?" Fang Chen asked.
The Fire Demon King nodded. Fang Chen told him his plan. The Fire Demon King said, "Humph, how dare he attack my master. I think he doesn't want to live anymore."
Immediately, the Fire Demon King said that he wanted to find the disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain for revenge. However, he was stopped by Fang Chen.
He had his own considerations. If the news that the Fire Demon King obeyed his orders spread, it would cause a huge uproar in the Sect.
In the end, the news that he had obtained the approval of the Fire Sky Saint and controlled the entire Fire Marrow Mine couldn't be hidden. At that time, he would become a thorn in the eyes of the various top forces. They would do everything they could to capture him.
Although he was a disciple of the Heaven Defying Alliance, he wasn't strong enough to ignore the threats of the various Sect. Therefore, Fang Chen chose to keep a low profile.
"Hide in the mine and don't attack. When I'm no match for him, you can attack," Fang Chen said to the Fire Demon King.
Not long after, Fang Chen returned to the Demon Slayer Formation.
The tremors in the Fire Marrow Mine had already disappeared. When the Frost Saint Emperor and the others asked, Fang Chen just brushed it off.
… …
In a wasteland not far from the Fire Marrow Mine, there was a fierce battle.
Whoosh!
Resplendent saber lights filled the sky. A cultivator wielding a saber sent out saber after saber strike. With every saber strike, the sky darkened even more.
"Hmph, the Ancient Race Young Master only has this much ability?"
The man with the long blade sneered.
With a flick of his wrist, the long saber moved horizontally and suddenly appeared behind Gu Fu. The saber slashed at his back. Although Gu Fu dodged, he was still injured.
Puchi!
The long saber contained a terrifying Origin Energy, and it sent Gu Fu flying with a single blow.
The latter retreated and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Lin Yan, you've hidden your strength well," Gu Fu said coldly as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
The man called Lin Yan sheathed his long blade. "You're only my first opponent in this trip to the Demonic Sky Fire Domain. Unfortunately, you've disappointed me."
Back then, Gu Fu had become the most dazzling genius of the Ancient Race. His Ancient Demon Annihilation Art had reached perfection and there were few who could match him in the younger generation. After reaching the Saint Emperor Realm, he had directly entered the top ten of the Saint Emperor Ranking.
Before entering the Demonic Sky Fire Domain, he had never lost.
But now, in such a short period of time, he had lost two consecutive battles and his confidence had been shattered.
Gu Fu stared at Lin Yan solemnly.
This guy was ranked tenth on the Saint Emperor Ranking and he came from a weak Sect.
Hu! Hu!
Fang Chen rushed over from afar.
"Someone's fighting?"
When he arrived, he saw the end of the battle. It was the clash between the two.
"Gu Fu of the Ancient Race?"
Fang Chen had once read the records of the Sage Emperor Rankings and recognized Gu Fu's identity with a single glance.
"Hmm?
Who's that guy? He can actually defeat Gu Fu? "
Fang Chen looked at Lin Yan seriously. "Lin Yan?"
Lin Yan, ranked tenth on the Saint Emperor Ranking, had actually defeated Gu Fu.
If he had guessed correctly, Lin Yan's strength was comparable to the Frost Saint Emperor.
"Indeed, there are no weaklings on the Saint Emperor Ranking."
Fang Chen sighed.
Shoo!
At this moment, a terrifying Sabre Radiance tore through the void and appeared before him, stabbing towards his chest.
Fang Chen frowned and struck out with his palm.
Crack!
The Sabre Radiance shattered and Fang Chen took a few steps back.
"He blocked it?"
Obviously, Lin Yan was surprised. He had not expected a Third Rank Holy Emperor to be able to block his Sabre Radiance.
"You're indeed a disciple of the Heaven Defying Alliance. You can't be judged by common sense." Lin Yan stared at Fang Chen.
"I've long wanted to experience the skills of the Heaven Defying Alliance's disciples. Coincidentally, I've met you today. Saves me the trouble of looking for you."
Lin Yan struck as soon as he finished speaking.
Shoo!
Wherever the Sabre Radiance went, the void shattered.
"Nine Sabre Sky Extinction."
Lin Yan let out a low growl as he displayed his unique skill.
The sky changed color as the sabre was executed.
However, Fang Chen was not a pushover. He took out the Star Concealing Sword and executed the Chaos Sword Art.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Sabre Radiance and Sword Radiance clashed together and there was a terrifying energy fluctuation.
Lin Yan's expression changed when he saw that Fang Chen had blocked the three Sabre Radiance effortlessly.
"To be able to block the first three Sabre Sky Extinction is enough to prove that your strength is comparable to a Sixth Rank Holy Emperor."
Lin Yan swung his Sabre Radiance again.
The fourth Sabre Radiance, the fifth Sabre Radiance, and the sixth Sabre Radiance!
Three Sabre Radiance intertwined.
"Lin Yan's strength should be comparable to Holy Emperor Mo Bai. He might even be stronger." Fang Chen muttered to himself.
"If I go all out, it won't be a problem to defeat him."
However, his strength would definitely be exposed. If the disciples of the Sword Saint Mountain knew about it, it would be difficult to lure them out and kill them.
With that thought, Fang Chen swung his Sabre Radiance and intertwined with the three Sabre Radiance. Then, he leaped and appeared in the void a thousand miles away.
"Today's battle ends here."
"Trying to leave?"
Lin Yan swung his Sabre Radiance for the seventh time. It pierced through the void and chased after Su Mo.
However, Fang Chen had already disappeared without a trace.
Boom!
The Sabre Radiance exploded a thousand miles away and shattered the void. Lin Yan narrowed his eyes and pondered.
"Interesting fellow," Lin Yan said.
In the distance, Gu Fu, who had been watching the battle, was even more shocked.
An unknown disciple of the Heaven Defying Alliance had actually unleashed such terrifying strength. His combat strength was comparable to Lin Yan's. He could definitely be ranked in the top ten of the Holy Emperor Ranking Board.
"Monster."
Gu Fu could not help but exclaim.
It was difficult for other top Sect to nurture a demon-like disciple who was ranked in the top ten of the Holy Emperor Ranking Board. However, the Heaven Defying Alliance had casually sent out a Third Rank Holy King disciple and he was so powerful.
…
In the void, Fang Chen stepped on the clouds and moved quickly.
"With my current strength, it should be difficult for me to find a match among the Sixth Rank Holy Emperors." Fang Chen muttered to himself.
Other than the top five demon-like disciples on the Holy Emperor Ranking Board, he was fearless.
However, he was confident that he would surpass them in the near future.
