We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

Without personally experiencing supernatural powers, one cannot feel the oppressive aura emanating from a martial artist wielding such power.

The oppressive aura emanating from the old man surnamed Zhao was even stronger than that released when the Third Prince used his supernatural powers.

Once revealed, it was like a majestic mountain, making the two of them breathless.

Under such pressure, the qi and blood, the power of the Yuan energy, the true meaning of martial arts, the Yuan energy, and the Dharma form all seemed to be about to solidify.

Both of them felt an urge to kneel and submit.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Su Chen used his Primordial Chaos Power to envelop Zhu Yan, thus eliminating the oppressive aura of the supernatural power.

Even so, his expression was solemn. The opponent's mere aura had made the two of them feel as if they were facing a formidable enemy. How terrifying must the supernatural powers he would unleash afterward be?

For the first time, Su Chen felt a little flustered.

This was a feeling he had never experienced since he moved to the Blood Realm.

Now, seeing the old man surnamed Zhao's formidable strength revealed, he felt both nervous and inexplicably excited.

The long-dormant passion in my heart seemed to be rekindled.

But he quickly suppressed his anger, because he knew that if they really fought, he might not be a match for the old man surnamed Zhao.

"Go down into the lava!"

Without hesitation, Su Chen took Zhu Yan and leaped directly into the lava.

Right now, the only chance of survival is to jump into the lava.

"Did you think I couldn't do anything to you just because you jumped into the lava? How foolish! Today I'm going to kill you all. In the sky and on the ground, unless a martial artist at the Divine Power Realm intervenes, you will all die without a doubt!"

When the old man surnamed Zhao saw the two jump into the lava, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

He swayed, leaving behind an afterimage, and shortly after Su Chen and Zhu Yan entered the magma, he crashed into it like a shooting star.

With a loud bang, waves of flames erupted.

Crash.

Not long after the old man surnamed Zhao entered the magma, the entire magma suddenly surged with terrifying waves, violently churning.

Not long after, a disheveled figure flew out of the lava with a whoosh; it was the old man surnamed Zhao.

Despite the protection of Yuan energy, the old man surnamed Zhao was still affected by the fiery heat of the magma.

His whole body reeked of a burnt smell.

His full head of silver hair was mostly burned off by the high temperature, and his clothes were also burned with small holes.

"Damn it, those two cunning little thieves, how can they control such powerful flames, which perfectly counter my Heavenly Wood Technique?"

The old man surnamed Zhao was both shocked and furious. Just as he went down to kill the two men, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura spreading towards him.

This startled him; he hadn't expected that a mere spirit fire could make a martial artist at the Divine Power Realm feel threatened.

Left with no other choice, he had to fight the spiritual fire.

After a brief exchange, the two sides were evenly matched, but this was Spiritfire's home turf.

In addition, he cultivates wood-attribute divine abilities, and fire overcomes wood.

And so, despite his superior cultivation, he was instead restrained by his opponent.

"It must be the Fire God Grass on their bodies that allowed that spiritual fire to fight me with the help of the Fire God Grass!"

After a moment's thought, the old man surnamed Zhao guessed the reason and knew the whole story.

The aura of the Fire God Grass in the cave had disappeared, and as expected, it had been taken by Su Chen and Zhu Yan.

The two discovered the Third Prince's pursuit and inadvertently found the Fire God Grass, so they deliberately lured them here.

Then they lay in ambush all around, plotting against the Third Prince, and waited until he entered the cave before attacking the Third Prince and his men, killing them instantly.

"But there's no exit from the cave below. I refuse to believe you can stay under the lava forever. The moment you show your faces, it will be your death!"

Even a martial artist at the Divine Power Realm cannot stay in magma indefinitely; how long can a martial artist at the Longevity Realm and a martial artist at the Dharma Aspect Realm stay?

I'm afraid they'll run out of energy in less than three days and be forced to appear.

By then, he won't even need to use his full strength; the two of them will die at his hands.

Thinking of this, the old man surnamed Zhao waved his hand and used his Yuan Power to directly shield the entire magma.

He then flew into the sky, occasionally unleashing a barrage of attacks on the two below, trying to force them to come up.

Meanwhile, Su Chen and Zhu Yan, who were below the magma, were not in as dire a situation as the old man surnamed Zhao had imagined.

"My benefactor, this spiritual fire can actually block the attack of a martial artist at the Divine Power Realm. Does that mean we can rely on it to escape their pursuit?"

Zhu Yan gazed at the Nine-Turn Glazed Flame wandering outside the barrier formed by the Primordial Chaos Power and asked Su Chen a question.

Su Chen shook his head: "No, the reason why the Nine Revolutions Glazed Fire was able to defeat the Divine Power Realm warrior is entirely because it had the home-field advantage. If it were to leave the magma, no matter how powerful it is, it would have no way to fight against the Divine Power Realm warrior unless it could turn all the magma into its own power to enhance its own strength."

"Absorb the power of magma?" Zhu Yan murmured to himself after hearing this.

Immediately, as if remembering something, he slapped his forehead and said, "My benefactor, I once saw in an ancient book that there is a cultivation method that involves collecting the spiritual fire of heaven and earth and then merging it into one's own body, thereby ignoring the difference in cultivation level and enhancing one's strength."

One can even break through with the help of spiritual fire, because spiritual fire itself can also become stronger, and the way to become stronger is simpler than that of a martial artist.

They have no limitations on their cultivation level; they only need to absorb enough energy to break through.

"Isn't this how alchemists subdue alchemical fire to enhance their strength?" Su Chen felt a sense of familiarity after hearing this.

Zhu Yan shook his head: "No, the two are different. When an alchemist subdues the alchemical fire, it is purely subjugation, and its purpose is only to refine pills. It cannot enhance strength through it. But this secret method is different. It integrates the spiritual fire into the Yuan power, turning it into a part of the Yuan power."

Moreover, not only spiritual fire, but also spiritual metal, spiritual wood, spiritual water, and spiritual earth are incorporated into the Yuan power through this secret method.

These spiritual beings are born of heaven and earth. Although they may be weak or strong, they all possess certain rules.

Once a martial artist can integrate this into their Yuan Power, their strength will at least double, if nothing else.

At this point, Zhu Yan suddenly sighed: "Unfortunately, I haven't studied this secret technique in depth, so I only know the general outline."

Su Chen: "..."

It seems you've said so much, but you yourself only have a vague understanding!
Su Chen felt ashamed, but didn't say anything, instead falling into deep thought.

Although Zhu Yan's words were of little use, they provided him with a new perspective.

That is, whether or not one can integrate spiritual fire into elemental power.

"My Primordial Chaos Power is mysterious and unpredictable. Although it is powerful, I always feel that its true power has not been fully developed. Perhaps Zhu Yan's method can make my Primordial Chaos Power even stronger."

I just don't know if my Primordial Chaos Power can fuse with the Spirit Fire. You know, every spiritual object in the world is uniquely endowed.

Even the Glazed Fire can only be subdued by force, not fused with.

However, I once fused the two flames together, so there might really be a chance to fuse them into the Primordial Power.

Regardless, let's try this method to see if it works.

If that doesn't work, we'll think of other ways.

After careful consideration, Su Chen finally decided to try the method Zhu Yan had suggested.

But he had no reference points and could only rely on himself to try step by step.

Fortunately, he didn't have to worry about the depletion of his Primordial Chaos Power.

The power of primordial chaos is all-encompassing and can absorb all kinds of primordial energy; this magma is its natural refueling station.

As long as there is fire-attribute elemental energy in the magma, Su Chen can continuously absorb it and replenish himself.

Furthermore, he also doesn't need to worry about Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan cultivates fire-attribute techniques, so he would likely thrive in magma. After explaining his idea to Zhu Yan, who agreed it was feasible, Su Chen found a place to meditate.

Su Chen first summoned the Nine Revolutions Glazed Flame and then retrieved it into his body.

The moment the Nine-Turn Glazed Fire entered his body, Su Chen's skin turned bright red, and in the blink of an eye, he became a little red man.

This state did not last long, and Su Chen soon returned to normal.

Next, he manipulated the Nine-Turn Glazed Fire into his dantian, attempting to fuse it with the Primordial Chaos Power.

Unexpectedly, as soon as it entered his dantian, the Nine Revolutions Glazed Fire seemed to know Su Chen's intentions and began to resist violently.

Because it was so sudden and extremely intense, even though Su Chen was somewhat prepared, he was still caught off guard.

Fortunately, Su Chen reacted immediately and quickly used his Primordial Chaos Power to suppress it.

Unlike the Nine-Turn Glazed Fire's resistance, the Primordial Chaos Power showed no resistance whatsoever.

This is normal, though, since the Primordial Chaos Power is different from the Nine Revolutions Glazed Fire; it has no consciousness whatsoever.

It will not resist whatever Su Chen asks it to do; it will only obey unconditionally.

Su Chen even vaguely sensed that the Primordial Chaos Power was quite willing to accept the integration of the Nine Revolutions Glazed Fire.

Once the Nine Revolutions Glazed Fire was enveloped, Su Chen controlled the Primordial Chaos Power to forcefully enter the Nine Revolutions Glazed Fire.

During this process, the Nine-Turn Glazed Fire also fiercely resisted, but this resistance was futile under Su Chen's coercion.

In a short while, the Primordial Chaos Power entered the Nine Revolutions Glazed Fire, attempting to merge with it.

Only the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed, and Su Chen still hasn't seen the result of the Primordial Chaos Power absorbing the Nine Revolutions Glazed Fire.

"Under my control, the Nine Revolutions Glazed Flame did not resist, but it seemed to be of no use. The Primordial Chaos Power still could not absorb the Nine Revolutions Glazed Flame. I felt that I was almost able to fuse with it, so why is this happening?"

Su Chen was completely baffled, so he tried again and again, but the final result remained unchanged.

But he did not give up and searched for the reasons why the two could not be integrated.

Finally, after a failed attempt that came within a hair's breadth of success, he discovered the real reason.

"The reason why the two cannot be integrated is that the power of chaos is primordial energy, but the Nine Revolutions Glazed Fire is not entirely primordial energy; it contains other forces as well. It is this force that hinders the integration of the two. If we want the two to be integrated, we must eliminate this energy."

The problem is, Su Chen doesn't know what this energy is called, where it's hidden, or how to deal with it.

"Is it supernatural power?"

After much thought, this was the answer that finally came to his mind, but he quickly rejected it.

"No, it's even more profound than supernatural powers!"

He was not unfamiliar with supernatural powers; this was a power completely different from supernatural powers.

Looking at the Nine-Turn Glazed Flame, which had ceased its resistance, Su Chen's eyes revealed a thoughtful expression.

If it's not supernatural power, then what is it?

An energy even more powerful than supernatural powers—the power of a spiritual fire should be incredibly strong.

It is at least no weaker than supernatural powers.

But that doesn't make sense, since he was only at the Dharma Aspect Realm when he subdued the spiritual fire.

Unable to figure it out, Su Chen decided to observe for a while longer.

This observation lasted for several hours. Su Chen released his primordial spirit power, observing with utmost care.

Suddenly, his face lit up with joy: "I've found a way!"

The sound was heard even by Zhu Yan, who was outside. Zhu Yan looked at Su Chen, who had withdrawn his Yuan Power Barrier, and was puzzled.

"What's wrong, my benefactor?" Zhu Yan asked.

Su Chen urged, "Old Zhu, give me the supernatural fruit you have. I need it now."

"it is good!"

Without further ado, Zhu Yan tossed four Divine Power Fruits to Su Chen.

After receiving the four Divine Power Fruits, Su Chen began to try them out.

He directly released the power within the Divine Fruit, placing it into the Primordial Chaos Power and the Nine-Turn Glazed Fire.

With the help of the power of the Divine Fruit, they began to neutralize the two, or more precisely, to neutralize that mysterious power and the Primordial Chaos Power.

"There are signs of merging!"

After observing for a while, Su Chen discovered that the Nine-Turn Glazed Fire was slowly merging into the Primordial Chaos Power.

This integration process is even smoother than before.

"It seems my guess was correct."

Su Chen smiled and quietly waited for the two to merge.

Suddenly, his expression changed drastically, and his previously orderly integration became sluggish.

"What's going on? Is one supernatural fruit not enough?"

Su Chen guessed what was going on and quickly unleashed the power of another Divine Fruit.

The power of the Divine Fruit transformed into streams of pure flame, connecting the Primordial Chaos Power and the Nine-Turn Glazed Fire.

"It's still not enough!"

With the help of the two supernatural fruits, the two forces have largely merged, but their momentum has slowed down.

Seeing this, Su Chen inserted another Divine Power Fruit.

Finally, with the help of the three supernatural fruits, the two forces were successfully fused together.

The moment the Nine-Turn Glazed Fire entered the Primordial Power, Su Chen felt his body become hot.

It was as if a ball of fire was burning wildly in the dantian, rapidly spreading to the entire body, even causing the qi and blood to boil.

"hiss!"

Feeling the pain, Su Chen gasped, but his eyes were filled with surprise.

He knew that it was the fusion of two forces that was tempering his body.

Sure enough, as the Nine Revolutions Glazed Fire circulated within his body, Su Chen's physical body became increasingly resilient.

A burning sensation of flames permeated his entire body.

His hair turned crimson red from the tempering of the Nine-Turn Glazed Fire.

As I stretch my body, my bones make a cracking sound.

Immediately, he flipped his hand, and the originally colorless primordial power suddenly became mixed with a wisp of crimson.

It looks particularly eye-catching.

"It has indeed become stronger!"

Without needing to test it, Su Chen knew that his strength had increased dramatically.

"It's time to go out."

Remove the elemental barrier to reveal your body.

Upon seeing Su Chen, Zhu Yan, who was cultivating, immediately asked, "Benefactor, how is it?"

Su Chen uttered only one word: "Go!" (End of Chapter)
