The memories of all humanity are awakening, except for mine.

The fiery red-clad man snorted coldly, his eyes burning with fury, and questioned, "Frost Fairy, my clan and your Frost Clan have always kept to ourselves. What brings you here today?"

The Frost Fairy stood proudly, her ice-blue robe shimmering in the sunlight. She coldly looked at the fiery-red man and sneered, "I've heard that the Demon King is about to break the seal and wreak havoc on the mortal realm."

For the past hundred years, our two races have had an agreement to prohibit the Demon King from reappearing, in order to ensure peace between the human and demon realms.

"What, is your Crimson Clan now going to break the alliance and start a war with my Frost Clan?"

Before the fiery red man could respond, a loud and majestic voice suddenly came from mid-air: "Ah, a friend has come from afar. It turns out to be a fairy from the Frost Clan visiting."

"What brings you to my Fiery Clan?"

Before the words were finished, a blazing light, like the sun, illuminated the entire desert, and a figure, bathed in flames, slowly appeared from the void.

This person was dressed in a crimson robe, with flames dancing around him like phoenix wings. His sharp eyes were as fiery as molten lava, and his brows exuded boundless majesty.

He held a crimson gold scepter, the head of which was inlaid with a gem that shimmered with flames. He was none other than the city lord of this extremely fiery land—Fire Phoenix!
The Frost Fairy was as cold as ice. Facing the appearance of the Fire Phoenix, she showed no weakness, staring directly at her and saying coldly, "Fire Phoenix, do you really intend to allow the Demon King to be resurrected and disregard the safety of both the human and demon realms?"

Fire Phoenix narrowed her eyes slightly, a playful smile playing on her lips: "The Demon King has been resurrected?"

"So what if it is, and so what if it isn't? Why are you, Frost Fairy, so nervous?"

The Frost Fairy gritted her teeth, a chill emanating from her body. Her icy gaze was fixed on the Fire Phoenix: "You know that once the Demon King returns, it will inevitably trigger a catastrophe in both realms, yet you still sit idly by. This is truly a selfish act."

"Our Frost Clan will never allow such a calamity to occur. Today, we will expose your crime of harboring evil, and let all living beings see your true face!"

Upon hearing this, the Fire Phoenix's smile vanished instantly, replaced by endless indifference: "Frost Fairy, you keep talking about the safety of the two realms, but in reality, you are provoking my Fiery Crimson Clan."

I advise you not to make a mistake and to leave immediately, or don't blame me for being ruthless.

The Frost Fairy sneered: "It seems you have decided to stand on the Demon King's side and become an enemy of my Frost Clan."

A hundred years ago, they swore they would break away from the demon race, but now it seems that it was just a joke!

"Since that's the case, there's no need for further words. Let's settle this with a single battle!" With that, the ice sword in her hand hummed, and a chilling aura surged, as if even the air itself was about to freeze.

Fire Phoenix's expression darkened, and she slammed her scepter heavily on the ground, flames surging and the temperature in the world instantly soaring: "Since you insist on provoking me, I, Fire Phoenix, will accept your challenge! Today, I will show you the true power of my Fiery Crimson Clan!"

The two men's auras clashed fiercely in the air, like ice and fire clashing at any moment.

Jiang Chuan, Shen Jing, Qing Yun, and the Bull Demon King all felt a chill run down their spines upon seeing this.

"what should we do?"

Shen Jing muttered to himself, "If these two powerful figures were to fight, it would probably be beyond our ability to intervene."

Jiang Chuan frowned, seeing that a great battle was about to break out. He could only say, "Let's wait for an opportunity and see if we can sneak into the Demon Sealing Valley."

"Are you sure we can get through this extremely hot land and reach the Demon Sealing Valley?"

Shen Jing instantly lost confidence. He knew that the four of them had to cross the Land of Extreme Flame, and they didn't know how many people of the Fiery Clan they would encounter along the way.

Just as Jiang Chuan, Shen Jing, Qing Yun, and the Bull Demon King were nervously discussing how to sneak into the Demon Sealing Valley amidst the chaos, the duel between the Frost Fairy and the Fire Phoenix began with thunderous force.

Around the two, on one side was an icy world formed by endless freezing power, and on the other side was a blazing, fiery domain. The interplay of ice and fire was like a magnificent yet cruel painting between heaven and earth.

The Fiery Phoenix Scepter was raised high, and blazing flames poured out like a tidal wave, transforming into a giant fire phoenix that spread its wings and soared, rushing straight at the Frost Fairy with an aura of destruction.

The Frost Fairy responded calmly, wielding her ice sword as countless ice spikes shot out like a meteor shower, colliding with the fire phoenix and sending up a shower of ice shards and sparks.

A powerful shockwave swept around, causing the earth to tremble and sand and stones to fly everywhere.

Everyone was shocked by this earth-shattering battle and knew that forcibly intervening at this moment would only make them cannon fodder.

Shen Jing looked worried and asked in a low voice, "Can we really take advantage of the chaos to get through the Land of Extreme Flames?"

Jiang Chuan clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination: "We must try, we can't just sit here and wait to die."

Although Qingyun and the Bull Demon King had their doubts, they could only nod in agreement when they saw Jiang Chuan's determined expression.

Just then, the Frost Fairy stood in mid-air, her clear, cold voice piercing through the roar of the fierce battle and reaching the four people's ears: "You go ahead first. I have already summoned reinforcements from the Frost Clan, and they will arrive soon."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chuan and the others perked up, casting grateful glances at the Frost Fairy before speeding off towards the Demon Sealing Valley without hesitation.

However, fate did not seem to let them off easily.

They had only walked a few miles when a familiar figure suddenly appeared ahead. It was the fiery red man who had been frozen into an ice sculpture by the Frost Fairy. Now free, he blocked their path with a face full of anger.

"Did I let you go?"

The fiery-red man's eyes were fierce, and the spear in his hand blazed with flames once more.

Seeing this, Jiang Chuan and the others knew that forcing their way through was hopeless, so they had no choice but to stop.

Shen Jing stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "What exactly do you intend to do by blocking our way?"

The fiery red-clad man sneered, "Don't think that just because you have the protection of the Frost Fairy, you can pass through the Land of Extreme Flame unscathed."

"I'd like to see how you'll handle the wrath of my Fiery Crimson Clan without her!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed forward and instantly closed in on Jiang Chuan and the others, his spear attacking fiercely like a storm.

Jiang Chuan and the others unleashed their unique skills, determined to fight.

Jiang Chuan held the Dragon Roar Sword, his body surrounded by lightning, and uttered a low shout: "Thunder Dragon Soars to the Sky!"

In an instant, three thick pillars of lightning descended from the sky like divine punishment, carrying a deafening dragon's roar, heading straight for the fiery red man.

Wherever the lightning bolt passed, the air distorted and sand and gravel flew. The power that could tear the heavens and the earth apart inspired fear.

As Qingyun saw the lightning pillar approaching, he shook his body, and the wings on his back instantly unfurled, like a dazzling galaxy.

He chanted a spell, and the feathers on his back, like a rain of snow, transformed into sharp blue arrows of light, densely weaving into an invisible giant net called "Feathers Everywhere," which rushed straight at the fiery red man.

Each arrow of light contains the power of a sharp wind blade; once it touches, it will tear flesh and blood, determined to trap the enemy within.

Shen Jing followed closely behind, holding a Bagua longsword with mysterious Yin-Yang Bagua patterns flowing across its blade.

His eyes were resolute, and he took strange steps, as if in harmony with some invisible force in the world.

With a flick of his wrist, the Bagua sword suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, its tip tracing mysterious paths that intertwined to form a Bagua formation, enveloping the fiery-red man. The Bull Demon King roared, like a thunderclap, his iron cudgel as heavy as a mountain. He swung it with all his might, the tip whipping up a howling wind that shook the ground.

The Bull Demon King stomped the ground, his iron cudgel striking the earth, unleashing a torrent of demonic power that instantly created a blazing inferno around him, known as the "Demon Fire Purgatory."

His eyes widened, his gaze fixed on the fiery red man, and with a powerful strike, the iron rod, carrying immense force, hurtled straight at the man's vitals like a falling meteorite.

The four attacks rained down on the fiery-red man simultaneously, like a storm.

Lightning, wind blades, the Bagua formation, and demonic fire intertwined to create a dazzling display of light and shadow.

A deafening explosion echoed through the fiery land, and the powerful shockwave caused the surrounding sand and gravel to churn and dust to rise.

However, once the dust settled, everyone was surprised to find that despite the astonishing power of their attacks, they had failed to budge the fiery red man in the slightest!
The fiery red-clad man stood at the center of the storm, his flames growing ever more intense. With each swing of his spear, he forcefully deflected the attacks of the four men.

A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips as he coldly said, "With your paltry tricks, you think you can contend with my Fiery Crimson Clan? You're simply delusional!"

The fiery red-clad man stood proudly in the center of the storm. Facing the all-out attack from Jiang Chuan and the others, he not only did not back down in the slightest, but instead appeared to be more and more at ease.

His spear twirled like a dragon, each movement precisely shattering incoming lightning, wind blades, Bagua formations, and demonic fire, as if performing a magnificent martial arts dance.

Jiang Chuan's expression was solemn, and the Dragon Roar Sword in his hand flashed with lightning. The power of Thunder Dragon Soaring to the Sky did not weaken due to the failure. On the contrary, it became even more violent in anger and frustration.

He gritted his teeth and once again summoned the power of lightning. Three lightning pillars shot into the sky like angry dragons, accompanied by a soul-shaking dragon roar, heading straight for the fiery red man.

However, the fiery red man simply smiled, flicked his spear, and the lightning pillar vanished like a bubble, leaving not even a ripple in the air.

Seeing that the lightning pillars were ineffective, Qingyun became extremely anxious. He activated all his wind power, and countless feathers rained down like a storm, attempting to overwhelm his opponent with sheer numbers.

However, the flames surrounding the fiery red man acted as a natural barrier, and the seemingly sharp light arrows vanished the moment they touched the flames, along with the power of the wind blades.

Seeing this, Shen Jing took a deep breath, and his Bagua footwork became even more agile. The Bagua longsword in his hand was like a living thing, and the Bagua formation that emanated from the tip of the sword enveloped the fiery red man like a mist.

However, no matter how the formation changed, the fiery red man could always dismantle it completely with a light touch of his spear at the crucial moment, as if he had mastered all the secrets of the formation.

The Bull Demon King roared repeatedly, his iron cudgel swung more and more violently, the area of ​​the Demon Fire Purgatory continued to expand, and the temperature of the flames rose sharply, attempting to scorch the fiery red man with high temperature.

However, the fiery red man seemed to be a rock in a sea of ​​fire, allowing the scorching flames to lick his body, yet he remained unmoved. Instead, he used the power of the flames to deflect the Bull Demon King's attack, forcing the Bull Demon King to retreat.

"How can it be?!"

Jiang Chuan and the others stared in disbelief at the scene before them; their combined attack had failed to harm the fiery red man in the slightest.

The surrounding environment became increasingly unbearably hot due to the fiery power of the red-haired man. Sweat poured down their foreheads like rain, their clothes were already soaked, and their physical and spiritual energy were being rapidly depleted.

Shen Jing wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked anxiously, "What is his background? Why are our attacks having no effect on him?"

Qingyun replied, panting, "His strength far exceeds our expectations, and he seems to know our moves inside and out. I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Chuan pressed.

Qingyun hesitated for a moment before reluctantly uttering his guess: "I'm afraid he's a high-ranking member of the Fiery Clan, or even a confidant of the Fire Phoenix."

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback. If this were true, their predicament would undoubtedly be even more severe.

The fiery red man sneered, "That's right, I am an elder of the Fiery Red Clan. You ant-like beings dare to dream of fighting against my clan?"

Jiang Chuan gripped the Dragon Roar Sword tightly. Despite his exhaustion, the fighting spirit burning in his eyes had not been extinguished.

He looked at his companion and said in a deep voice, "We can't give up. We must find his weakness!"

"But……"

Shen Jing looked around worriedly. The scorching flames were already making it difficult for them to move. If this continued, they would probably collapse from exhaustion before they could find a weakness.

Just then, a melodious flute sound came from afar, clear and pleasant, like a mountain spring flowing or a spring breeze blowing.

The chill contained in the flute music was like a clear spring in the desert, instantly dispelling the surrounding heat and bringing everyone a long-lost coolness.

The fiery-red man stood proudly in the center of the battlefield, his fiery-red spear dancing like a dragon in his hand. Facing the sudden arrival of aid from the Frost Clan, he showed no fear, coldly snorting, "Ice Jade? Hmph, you've come at the perfect time, saving me the trouble of searching for you one by one!"

His gaze was sharp as he swept over Bingyu's beautiful and refined face, and he said sarcastically, "You little brat, do you dare to stand in the way of my Fiery Clan's great cause?"

Upon hearing this, Bingyu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a calm smile, like a lotus blooming in the snow, unmoved by the harsh words.

Holding an ice crystal flute, she pointed it at the fiery red man, her voice like the tinkling of an icy spring, clear yet firm: "Fire Maple, do you know that your so-called great cause is nothing more than aiding and abetting evil and causing untold suffering in the eyes of my Frost Clan?"

I, Bingyu, am here today to stop your evil plans.

"Ha, trying to stop me?"

Huo Feng threw his head back and laughed wildly, his laughter full of disdain, "Do you know that the Demon King will be resurrected in less than half a day!"

At that time, my fiery red clan and the demon clan will join forces to conquer the human world, and no one will be able to stop us!

We have waited for this day for hundreds of years, pouring in countless efforts. What can you, a mere individual, possibly do?

Bingyu's expression changed slightly, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

She gently stroked the ice crystal flute in her hand, her tone calm yet resolute: "A hundred years ago, my sister prophesied that the Fiery Clan had some kind of connection with the Demon Realm."

At the time, we had our doubts, but now it all seems to be true. But whatever your schemes may be, as long as my Frost Clan exists, we will do everything in our power to protect the peace of the world.

Upon hearing this, a shadow crossed Huo Feng's eyes, but it was quickly concealed by arrogance.

He glanced provocatively at Jiang Chuan and the others not far away, then said to Bingyu, "What a shrewd woman, you've got a sharp tongue."

"Since you want to try, then let me see what your Frost Clan is capable of!"

After saying that, Huo Feng suddenly let out a sharp whistle.

Instantly, more warriors of the Crimson Clan emerged from behind him, clad in flame armor and wielding various firearms.

"Kill me!"

"The Demon King's resurrection plan must not be abandoned!"

"This is a critical time; no mistakes can be tolerated!" (End of Chapter)
