Chapter 273 Receiving the Pure World Glazed Flame, Battle Emperor-Level Demon (5K)

Miao Kuo blinked to make sure he wasn't seeing things.

The figure that came into view was indeed Su Chen.

"Isn't young friend Xiang in seclusion?" Miao Kuo wondered.

Just then, Su Chen, who had arrived, swept past the crowd and stood before Miao Kuo and the other man.

boom!
With a single palm strike, he severed all the branches that were attacking Miao Kuo and his companion.

"Young friend, what are you doing here?" Miao Kuo stared blankly at Su Chen who had come before him and asked.

Su Chen shook his head and frowned, saying, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's leave quickly."

After leaving Tiandan City, Su Chen originally planned to find a secluded place to cultivate in seclusion.

Unintentionally, he came to the vicinity of Yunxia Mountain.

Before he could find a place to cultivate in seclusion, he noticed something unusual about Yunxia Mountain.

The dark cloud that shrouded the mountaintop seemed to contain boundless demonic energy.

This made Su Chen realize that something was wrong.

After a slight hesitation, Su Chen decided to go and take a look.

Upon entering Yunxia Mountain, Su Chen keenly sensed that the so-called dark clouds were clearly a cloud of demonic energy soaring into the sky.

Amidst the demonic aura, faint sounds of fighting and screams could be heard.

The closer he got, the clearer it became, and the more cautious Su Chen became.

Demonic energy, battle, alchemical fire...

These factors combined were enough for him to fill in part of the picture in his mind.

What worries him is Miao Kuo.

From Miao Xingxing's words, we know that Miao Kuo is still on Yunxia Mountain, and he must be in grave danger this time.

Over the course of twenty years, the two had become both teacher and friend, and he could not bear to stand by and watch someone die.

Therefore, Su Chen concealed his presence and lurked near the canyon.

The situation was more serious than he had imagined; this time, it wasn't just the Demon Alliance that had taken action, but also the Spirit Alliance.

The two alliances joined forces to trap all the alchemists beneath the canyon and slaughter them indiscriminately.

Fortunately, the situation has not yet reached the point of no return.

Although he did not know the identities of Xu Qingshan and Bai Luoxue, their appearance bought him some time.

While Xu Qingshan and Bai Luoxue were engaged in a fierce battle with the Demon Alliance and the Spirit Alliance, Su Chen entered the canyon.

Because of the primordial energy emanating from him and the intensity of the battle, no one noticed Su Chen until now.

Soon, he found Miao Kuo, who was fighting a hard battle.

After the two sides met, Su Chen took the lead and led the two out of the encirclement.

Miao Kuo supported his friend and followed behind Su Chen, feeling a sense of security as if he were being protected.

Su Chen transformed into a warrior, single-handedly holding off ten thousand, and forcefully carved out a path.

This aggressive posture quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding branches.

Countless branches danced in the air, transforming into towering black shadows that swept in like a tidal wave.

"Young friend Xiang, be careful!"

Miao Kuo saw this, his eyes sharpened, and he quickly shouted a warning.

However, when faced with the overwhelming barrage of branches, Su Chen was engulfed in flames.

The Nine Revolutions Fire, condensed from the power of primordial chaos, reveals extreme power once released.

It ignites upon contact, and the fire spreads uncontrollably.

The entire canyon was quickly engulfed in flames.

"Everyone, run!"

The spreading fire also provided a breakthrough for the group of alchemists who were fighting hard.

They each displayed their unique abilities, like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, in an attempt to break through the blockade.

"You bastard, who is it?"

The fire tree, which was greedily absorbing the alchemist's blood and energy, was filled with boundless rage the moment it realized that its thousands of branches had been burned to ashes.

He roared, and thousands of branches shot out from his body, the huge branches like iron chains, soaring into the sky.

They intertwined in mid-air, forming a large black net, attempting to intercept all the fleeing alchemists.

However, he was still a step too slow. With the chance of survival within reach, the alchemists unleashed their fierce power.

As the tree net closed in, the alchemists seized every opportunity to file out.

Moreover, Su Chen was secretly sabotaging things.

No matter how strong a branch is, it cannot withstand the influence of another thing for long.

Both Su Chen's Primordial Chaos Power and the Nine Revolutions Fire are inherently restraining the Fire Tree.

No matter how strong this tree network is, it can't compare to the combined efforts of the two.

In just a few breaths, the netting was engulfed in raging flames, and the fire swelled with the wind, sweeping out like a tidal wave.

This time, however, Huoshu noticed Su Chen, who was secretly sabotaging his operations.

He gritted his teeth and said, "So it was you, you little bug, who repeatedly ruined Grandpa Tree's plans. Today, if Grandpa Tree doesn't drain your blood dry, I'm not called the Blood-Drinking Fire Tree!"

Su Chen realized that their whereabouts had been exposed, so he quickly said to Miao Kuo and the other man, "You two, hurry up and leave."

Miao Kuo and the other man realized the urgency of the situation and, not daring to delay, left immediately.

While Su Chen covered the rear, he blocked the Fire Tree's attack.

Even though the branches extending from the fire tree were burned, it did not have a significant impact on it.

The fiery tree locked onto Su Chen, releasing thousands of branches from its body once again.

Thousands of branches transformed into cold, merciless chains, piercing the air and instantly filling the void.

In an instant, the entire void trembled.

Endless black light stirred up the wind and clouds, forming a ring shape, like a black net, rushing towards Su Chen.

The darkness seemed to be swallowing Su Chen whole.

Faced with such a massive and extreme offensive, Su Chen remained remarkably calm.

He turned around and spun around, a wisp of flame leaping between his fingers, which he then flicked lightly.

In an instant, the flames fell off, swelled with the wind, and the firelight transformed into waves, spreading out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The void, corrupted by darkness, was instantly scorched by flames.

Those thick branches, under the raging fire, turned to ashes in less than a few seconds and disappeared into the sky.

"Damn it!"

Seeing its attack thwarted, the Fire Tree let out a sharp shriek, its voice brimming with boundless fury.

She was furious that she had been made so miserable by Su Chen, this little rat, and even more furious that Su Chen not only dared to resist, but also dared to attack her in return.

Ignoring Huoshu's anger, Su Chen quickly caught up with Miao Kuo and the other person after shaking off Huoshu's attack.

Before Su Chen could reunite with the two, a shrill scream rang out.

Immediately afterward, to Su Chen's astonishment, a figure fell awkwardly from mid-air, creating gusts of air as it hurtled towards Su Chen.

With sharp eyes, Su Chen quickly dodged, narrowly avoiding the onslaught.

He recognized the other person; it was one of the two who had fought against the numerous demons.

Su Chen glanced at Xu Qingshan briefly, then ignored him and turned to leave.

The most urgent task is to rescue Miao Kuo.

The five demons were all at the Dharma Aspect Realm, and Su Chen wasn't very confident.

The idea was good, but Su Chen had already entered the demon's sight.

Before he could even take a step, Su Chen sensed a dangerous gaze locking onto him.

A slightly surprised voice rang out from above: "I didn't expect there to be someone like you among these alchemists. You're clearly a Divine Intent Realm martial artist, yet you can suppress the Blood Drinking Fire Tree!"

Not to mention the branches of the Blood-Drinking Fire Tree, its suppression of a martial artist's blood and qi alone is enough to cause a Dharma Aspect martial artist of the same level to suffer a great loss.

Now the situation has reversed.

Not only did the opponent fail to suppress Su Chen's qi and blood, but Su Chen also left him in a sorry state.

This surprised Fierce Tiger Emperor.

When he said these words, Lie Hu Huang made no attempt to conceal the sarcasm in his tone.

The words reached Huoshu's ears and instantly ignited his anger, which seemed even more intense than the raging Nine-Turn Fire.

"Fierce Tiger King, watch your mouth! Does he think he's worthy of suppressing me?" Fire Tree's old tree face was filled with rage.

Upon hearing this, Fierce Tiger Emperor shrugged noncommittally.

Huo Shu turned to Su Chen and said fiercely, "Don't get involved in this matter. I'll deal with this kid!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Fire Tree roared, as if summoning something. As the sound faded, the surrounding air seemed to boil.

Before Su Chen could make a move, magma began to bubble and gurgle at the bottom of the canyon.

The Glazed Fire, which had been greedily absorbing the corpses in the magma, suddenly shot up with a whoosh the moment it heard the Fire Tree's words.

A fiery dragon, stained with magma, rose straight up.

A fiery dragon hung across the sky, sizzling the surrounding air. The intense heat, however, had no effect on the fiery tree; instead, it fueled its flames even more fiercely.

“This flame…” Su Chen stared at the glassy fire suspended in mid-air, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

Unexpectedly, the Blood-Drinking Fire Tree could control the Glazed Fire.

But then he frowned slightly; this flame seemed to be quite different from the legendary Glazed Fire.

"Be careful, this is not the Glazed Flame, but the Purifying Glazed Flame!"

A head slowly rose from the deep pit. Xu Qingshan's face was covered in dust, his hair was disheveled, and there was a conspicuous trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.

He whispered a reminder to Su Chen, as if speaking too loudly might be too much for his body to handle.

Su Chen was stunned when he heard this. This was actually the Purifying Glazed Flame!

"It must be that the Fire Tree somehow allowed the Glazed Fire to devour a large number of corpses, which is why the Glazed Fire was able to transform into the Purifying Glazed Fire."

Su Chen thought to himself, his expression gradually becoming serious.

If it were Glazed Fire, his Nine Revolutions Blazing Fire might be able to block it.

But if it were the Pure World Glazed Fire, even he himself wasn't confident he could withstand it.

Even if he activated the Primordial Chaos Power to unleash the Nine Revolutions Fire, Su Chen was unsure which was stronger.

The difference between the two is not only the difference between acquired fire and innate fire, but also a difference that stems from their very essence.

What Su Chen feared soon happened.

Surrounded by the Pure World Glazed Fire, the Fire Tree was full of confidence and directly controlled the Pure World Glazed Fire to cover the Nine Revolutions Li Fire that was spreading along its branches.

The collision of the two flames was not as earth-shattering as one might expect; instead, it was rather silent.

The moment they made contact, they were evenly matched.

However, this trend did not last long. In less than two breaths, under the cover of the all-encompassing Purifying Glazed Fire, the Nine Revolutions Blazing Fire, having lost Su Chen's support, was completely overwhelmed by the Purifying Glazed Fire.

This kind of submersion is not suppression, but engulfment!

"The Nine Revolutions Flame was devoured by the Purifying Glazed Flame!" Su Chen murmured, his eyes suddenly turning deep.

The Pure World Glazed Fire is like a python and a sparrow, while the Nine-Turn Separation Fire is like a dragon. A python and a sparrow can devour a dragon, let alone a dragon.

Before long, the Nine Revolutions Fire was completely devoured by the Purifying Glazed Fire.

Huoshu's gaze fell from afar, carrying a fierce aura, and locked onto Su Chen.

Su Chen knew a great battle was inevitable, so he stepped forward and looked at Xu Qingshan: "Brother, can you still fight?"

In a one-on-one situation, he was not afraid of the Fire Tree, but he was afraid of other demons getting involved.

Because of Xu Qingshan's defeat and injury, there are now two other demonic creatures eyeing the battlefield besides the Fire Tree.

Huoshu said not to let the two demons, Liehuhuang and Huoshuhuang, help, but when Su Chen actually makes a move to kill Huoshu, they will definitely intervene.

At that time, Su Chen will face three demons.

If Bai Luoxue couldn't hold on beforehand, then there would be five heads.

He believed that although he was strong, he could not take on five opponents at once.

The best solution is to find helpers; both Xu Qingshan and Bai Luoxue are at the Dharma Aspect Realm.

If he could shield him from the attacks of the other demons, he might be able to kill the Blood-Drinking Fire Tree.

Xu Qingshan, who was recuperating and preparing for another battle, was taken aback by Su Chen's words. It seemed that Su Chen was preparing to deal with the Fire Tree.

Can……

After realizing Su Chen's strength, Xu Qingshan did not hold out much hope.

A martial artist at the Divine Intent Realm fighting a martial artist at the Dharma Aspect Realm, especially one who is also an alchemist—isn't that a joke?
Even so, he still said, "I can fight, but I need some time to recover from my injuries."

His injuries are quite severe right now, and even if he tries his best to recover, it will probably be too late to help him in his immediate situation.

If Su Chen can buy him some time, he might still have a chance to make a move.

After a pause, Xu Qingshan asked again, "Are you an alchemist? Do you have any healing pills on you?"

Su Chen didn't say anything, but instead threw out a cloth bag.

Xu Qingshan took the cloth bag, opened it, and was immediately dumbfounded. Inside the bag were healing pills.

They are all Grade 5 healing pills; roughly estimated, there are probably over a hundred of them.

This was originally prepared by Su Chen for his own cultivation of the Pure Yuan Scripture. Just in case, he prepared not only healing pills but also other kinds of pills.

Upon seeing so many Grade 5 healing pills, Xu Qingshan had only one thought in his mind.

That's outrageously extravagant!
As a Holy Dragon Guardian at the Dharma Aspect Realm, he's still not as wealthy as a Divine Intent Realm martial artist—it's truly disheartening!
"Isn't that enough?" Su Chen's indifferent voice rang out.

Xu Qingshan shook his head repeatedly: "That's enough! Brother, you hold on for me for a while."

With so many healing pills, even if Su Chen couldn't last long, he could quickly recover his strength and continue fighting.

"Junior Sister!" Xu Qingshan called out to Bai Luoxue, who was engaged in a fierce battle not far away.

Then he took out dozens of pills, transformed them into a ball of light, and presented them to the other party.

Bai Luoxue is stronger than him, and she can quickly absorb pills to recover.

With her around, this battle will be much easier.

Bai Luoxue's pretty face froze upon receiving a large number of healing pills, but she quickly recovered and swallowed all the pills at once.

Anyone else would not dare to do this, but she has a special constitution and can withstand any amount of healing pills.

The numerous healing pills not only did not harm her body, but instead made her Yuan energy more powerful than ever before.

Upon noticing this, both Flame Soul Flower and Azure Sun Vine sharpened their gazes, and their attacks became even more ferocious.

Seeing that Bai Luoxue's strength had recovered, Xu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief and then focused on taking pills to recuperate.

While recuperating, he observed the battle on Su Chen's side.

"Isn't this guy an alchemist? How come his strength is so formidable that even the Fire Tree, which possesses the Purifying Glazed Flame, is suppressed by him!"

The more I looked, the more alarmed I became; it was a completely one-sided and crushing situation.

Even with the help of the Pure World Glazed Flame, the Fire Tree was still no match for Su Chen.

He possesses the Nine Revolutions Flame, which may not be able to match the Pure World Glazed Flame in quality, but in terms of quantity, it is almost overwhelming.

The boundless primordial power transformed into a rushing river, continuously supporting the Nine Revolutions Fire.

The Nine Revolutions of Fire enveloped the Pure World Glazed Fire by tens, hundreds, or even thousands of times more than it.

Moreover, Su Chen's strength far exceeded Xu Qingshan's expectations.

"Is this guy really a Divine Intent Realm martial artist? He has more Yuan Power than me, thousands upon thousands of different Yuan Power auras, and his martial arts true intent is unparalleled. Apart from not having condensed a Dharma Body, I am inferior to him in every aspect!"

Upon witnessing Su Chen violently beating the fire tree, Xu Qingshan was deeply shocked and fell into a daze, even swearing twice in a row.

He simply couldn't imagine how Su Chen cultivated, how he could be so monstrous!
Su Chen's true strength spurred Xu Qingshan, and even more so the Fire Tree and other demonic creatures.

The moment Huoshu saw the Pure World Glazed Flame suppressed, his face froze in shock. But this was not the end; it was only the beginning.

Before he could react, Su Chen unleashed a series of various techniques.

The raging Yuan energy flowed endlessly like a surging river, even more outrageous than the Nine Revolutions Fire, as if it had gathered into an ocean of Yuan energy, completely enveloping him.

To his horror, these Yuan energies contained waves of completely different Yuan energies.

At this moment, he was like a lonely reef, enduring the battering of countless waves, teetering on the verge of breaking.

The shock didn't stop there; the power of the Yuan Force actually concealed the true meaning of martial arts.

Not just one, but countless.

This scene completely shattered his understanding; he was utterly bewildered.

Isn't it said that a martial artist can only comprehend one true essence of martial arts? Why does this guy in front of me have so many?
The physical injuries caused him immense pain, but the mental trauma drove him to the brink of madness!

He could no longer hold back and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"what!"

Not far away, the Blazing Fire Emperor and the Purple Mantis Emperor, who witnessed the Fire Tree being ravaged, exchanged a glance, both seeing horror in each other's eyes.

The situation before them was completely unexpected.

"Take action quickly!"

The Fire Tree's aura grew weaker and weaker, and the Fierce Tiger Emperor could no longer heed its words and could no longer restrain himself from attacking.

As soon as the voice fell, the Fierce Tiger Emperor and the Purple Mantis Emperor rushed out at the same time, attacking Su Chen from the left and right respectively.

"Watch out!" Xu Qingshan shouted, his expression changing upon seeing this.

Su Chen remained calm under pressure, knowing that killing the Fire Tree would not be easy.

As the two demons charged at him, he punched the fire tree.

He let the two demons save the Fire Tree, and then retreated towards the Nine Revolutions Fire and the Pure World Glazed Fire that were fighting nearby.

"Do not……"

Upon seeing this, Huoshu's pupils contracted, and he roared.

Just as Su Chen broke away, he sensed that his connection with the Pure World Glazed Flame had been completely severed.

The Fierce Tiger King and the Purple Mantis King looked at Su Chen in the direction of the voice, their huge eyes suddenly narrowing.

Under the watchful eyes of the two demons, Su Chen reached out and his palm surged with the Nine Revolutions Flame.

Like the last straw that broke the camel's back, the already overburdened Pure World Glazed Fire was completely enveloped by this Nine-Turn Separation Fire, and then quickly devoured.

Su Chen flipped his hand, a look of joy spreading across his face: "Success!"
