Fire Virtue Immortal Clan

Leitinghai and Licheng were not far apart. Not long after Lu Cheng'an and his three companions left Leitinghai, they arrived at Licheng under the guidance of Zhou Hongyu.

Zhou Hongyu was very active in the city. With her leading Lu Cheng'an and the other two, they successfully entered the city.

Zhou Hongyu was very familiar with the rules of leaving the city. After entering the city, Zhou Hongyu led Lu Chengan and the other two to register their information and obtain their passes.

After that, Zhou Hongyu didn't delay at all. She led Lu Cheng'an and the other two through the boundary passage leading out of the city and completely left the Xuan Chen Realm, entering the outer void.

"This is the outer void!"

After emerging from the boundary passage, Lu Cheng'an immediately surveyed the surrounding environment.

The outer void was dark, devoid of light and color, creating an extremely oppressive atmosphere.

There is also spiritual energy in the outer void, and the quality of this spiritual energy is higher than that in the Xuan Chen Realm.

However, these spiritual energies contain extremely complex powers. Cultivators in the Xuan Chen Realm may not have any problem refining some spiritual energy from the outer void for cultivation in a short period of time.

However, if one relies entirely on the spiritual energy of the outer void for cultivation, it may lead to the collapse of one's cultivation.

"The outer void is extremely dangerous. If you're unlucky, you might encounter ancient void beasts or other cultivators like us who are also searching for treasures in the outer void."

Zhou Hongyu turned to look at Lu Chengan and the other two and said in a deep voice, "If you encounter a cultivator with malicious intentions, do not hold back at all. Kill them quickly. If you cannot do that, retreat immediately and do not entangle them."

There are virtually no rules in the outer void; killing and robbing are common occurrences.

"The Residual Sun Canyon, where the Flamehorn Fire Deer is located, is three million miles to the northwest of here. Let's set off for the Residual Sun Canyon now!"

“The three of us are not familiar with the outer void of this place, so we will follow Fellow Daoist Zhou’s instructions!” Venerable Tianyun said with a smile.

They are only heading to the Sunset Grand Canyon now, and they haven't seen the Flame Horned Fire Deer that Zhou Hongyu mentioned yet, so naturally they have no objections at this time.

Zhou Hongyu wasted no time and sped off directly to the northwest.

Three million miles is not a long distance for a Nascent Soul cultivator. Lu Cheng'an and his companions had a relatively smooth journey and did not encounter any other cultivators or ancient void beasts along the way.

After five hours, they arrived at the Sunset Canyon.

“Fellow Daoists, this is the Residual Sun Grand Canyon. The Flame Horned Fire Deer lives in the central area of ​​the canyon.” Zhou Hongyu said softly, looking at the huge canyon filled with surging flames in front of him.

Legend has it that the Remnant Sun Canyon was a dangerous place formed by a meteorite impact. When the canyon was first formed, the central area was filled with raging flames that could burn even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage to death.

The danger of the Sunset Canyon has been greatly reduced, with only a few areas still containing this extremely dangerous flame.

“A large number of Void Beasts live in this Residual Sun Grand Canyon. We must try our best to hide our presence when we travel through it, otherwise we will be in big trouble if we are discovered by the Void Beasts in the canyon!” Zhou Hongyu said in a deep voice.

"If, as Fellow Daoist Zhou says, we hunt down that Flame Horned Fire Deer at the fifth-order perfect realm, wouldn't that attract other ancient void beasts from the Remnant Sun Grand Canyon?" the Elder of Ten Thousand Corpses asked, frowning.

“Fellow Daoists, there’s no need to worry. The Flame Horned Fire Deer has an extremely strong sense of territory, and no other Void Ancient Beasts will ever set foot in its area,” Zhou Hongyu explained with a smile.

In fact, it's not just the Flamehorn Fire Deer; all the ancient Void Beasts in the outer void have an extremely strong sense of territory.

Any alien life that ventures into their territory will be met with their frenzied attacks.

Although the Void Beasts possess extremely formidable power, their intelligence is very low, so there's no need to worry about them seeking help from outside.

"If any of you three fellow Daoists have any questions, you may ask them now. If not, we shall now enter the Sunset Grand Canyon."

"Fellow Daoist Zhou, how many fifth-tier Void Ancient Beasts are there in this Residual Sun Grand Canyon? After we kill the Flame Horned Fire Deer, will we encounter attacks from other Void Ancient Beasts?" Lu Cheng'an asked.

"The Sunset Grand Canyon stretches for hundreds of thousands of miles, and I don't know exactly how many fifth-tier Void Ancient Beasts live in it."

After frowning and thinking for a moment, Zhou Hongyu continued, "After we kill the Flamehorn Fire Deer, we may encounter Void Ancient Beasts chasing us, but as long as we leave the area of ​​the Remnant Sun Grand Canyon quickly, we will be safe!"

The physical bodies of these cultivators are extremely delicious food for the ancient beasts of the void, because their bodies contain very few impurities, making them far superior to the mixed energy in the outer void.

Once the Void Beasts discover their presence, they will certainly launch an attack.

The strongest Void Ancient Beast in the Residual Sun Grand Canyon is at the fifth-order perfect realm. As long as they don't cause trouble, they should have no problem escaping smoothly with their strength.

After Zhou Hongyu finished speaking, Lu Chengan and Master Tianyun exchanged a glance and then agreed.

If they can successfully hunt down the Flamehorn Deer, they can indeed gain great benefits.

As for the risks involved in hunting Flamehorn Deer, they are all to be expected, after all, there is no such thing as a free lunch!
A moment later, Lu Cheng'an and the other three used their supernatural abilities to conceal their auras and entered the Remnant Sun Grand Canyon.

The supernatural abilities possessed by cultivators are far more sophisticated than those of ancient void beasts. Lu Cheng'an and his companions are not weak, and if they do not reveal their presence, the ancient void beasts of the Remnant Sun Grand Canyon will have a hard time detecting their existence.

The Flamehorn Fire Deer lives in the central area of ​​the Remnant Sun Grand Canyon, about 250,000 li away from the edge area that Lu Cheng'an and his companions entered.

This distance isn't far; if Lu Cheng'an were to use his spatial folding technique, he could instantly traverse this 250,000-mile area.

This is also the source of Lu Cheng'an's confidence to follow the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, including Tianyun Shangren, into the outer void.

If he were to use the spatial folding technique to escape, even the three late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators, including Master Tianyun, might not be able to catch him.

However, when they entered the Remnant Sun Grand Canyon, Lu Cheng'an did not use his spatial folding magic. Instead, he followed Zhou Hongyu and carefully approached the area where the Flame Horned Fire Deer roamed.

During this time, Lu Cheng'an and his companions also sensed some ancient void beasts living in the Remnant Sun Grand Canyon. Indeed, there were quite a few ancient void beasts in the Remnant Sun Grand Canyon.

Their ranks are mostly at the fourth or fifth level. These ancient void beasts are all highly poisonous and filthy. Their corpses, unlike the Flame Horned Fire Deer, are of no use to cultivators.

For this reason, even though many ancient beasts of the void live in the Remnant Sun Grand Canyon, few cultivators from the Xuan Chen Realm set foot there.

Zhou Hongyu was able to discover the Flamehorn Fire Deer living in Sunset Grand Canyon because she encountered a Flamehorn Fire Deer that had left Sunset Grand Canyon by chance, and followed the Flamehorn Fire Deer to its lair.

However, the Flame Horned Fire Deer had reached the fifth-order perfect realm, and Zhou Hongyu was no match for it. That's why she returned to the Xuan Chen Realm to find help.

Lu Cheng'an and his three companions moved quickly and soon entered the territory of the Flame Horned Fire Deer.

"That Flamehorn Fire Deer lives in this area. We need to find its exact location first, then act immediately and kill it as quickly as possible!" Zhou Hongyu said in a deep voice. The environment in this area is much better than other areas of the Residual Sun Grand Canyon, with a large number of golden-red spiritual plants growing on the ground.

These spiritual plants have the function of purifying the environment, and they are also the main food of the Flamehorn Fire Deer.

However, this golden-red spiritual plant is of no use to human cultivators.

Lu Cheng'an and his three companions did not separate, but instead searched together for traces of the Flame Horned Fire Deer.

Two quarters of an hour later, the spiritual power of Lu Cheng'an and the other three locked onto a huge, fiery red giant deer, which was the Flame Horned Fire Deer they had been searching for.

The most striking feature of the Flame-Horned Deer is its pair of crimson antlers on its head. These antlers are as red as jade, and it seems as if flames are burning inside them, making them look magnificent and beautiful.

Beneath the giant horns was the enormous body of the Flame Horned Fire Deer, which was about eight or nine zhang tall and about twelve or thirteen zhang long. Its fur was like fire, and it was exceptionally handsome.

"Do it!"

Zhou Hongyu spoke in a deep voice, and the instant her voice fell, she instantly summoned a jade-colored axe.

This is Zhou Hongyu's natal magic weapon, and its grade has reached the fifth rank, high quality.

After Zhou Hongyu summoned the jade-colored axe, it instantly transformed into a giant axe twenty feet long, and then, under Zhou Hongyu's control, it cleaved down towards the body of the Flame Horned Fire Deer.

The blade of the giant axe shimmered with a jade-green light, as if there were surging and rippling jade-green water.

After Zhou Hongyu made her move, Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren also immediately joined in, simultaneously unleashing their own refined Heavenly Corpse and Spirit Ghost.

Both the Heavenly Corpse and the Spirit Ghost possessed cultivation at the late Nascent Soul stage, and they pounced directly towards the Flame Horned Fire Deer's body.

At the same time, Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren also unleashed their natal magic weapons and attacked the Flame Horn Fire Deer.

Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren also upgraded their respective natal magic treasures to the fifth-grade high-quality level. They also paid a considerable price to upgrade their natal magic treasures.

Lu Cheng'an currently only has the cultivation level of the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he knows the gap in strength between himself and the Flame Horned Fire Deer, who is at the fifth-order perfect realm.

When Zhou Hongyu invited Lu Cheng'an, her main purpose was not Lu Cheng'an, but Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren, who had always been with Lu Cheng'an.

However, since Lu Cheng'an had never said that he would not come to the outer void, Zhou Hongyu did not ask Lu Cheng'an to stay out of this matter.

However, Zhou Hongyu never intended for Lu Cheng'an to play any role; she only hoped that Lu Cheng'an would not become a burden to them.

However, Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren knew Lu Cheng'an's abilities, and they still placed their hopes on Lu Cheng'an to help them kill the Flame Horned Fire Deer!
"I'm very close to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, but I haven't broken through to the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm yet. I wonder if the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal will be useful to the Flame Horn Fire Deer?"

Lu Cheng'an's gaze fell on the Flame Horned Fire Deer. After taking a deep breath, he did not hesitate any longer and immediately used the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal to attack the Flame Horned Fire Deer.

Lu Cheng'an had cultivated both the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal to perfection, and he could use these two divine abilities at an extremely fast speed.

Although he acted a little later than Zhou Hongyu and the other two, the power of the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal struck the Flame Horned Fire Deer first.

At this moment, the Flame Horned Deer also noticed the presence of Lu Cheng'an and his companions. It let out a roar, and surging flames erupted from its pair of crimson antlers.

However, just as it was about to launch an attack using its giant horns, it was immediately affected by the two supernatural powers, the Thousand-Year Seal and the Tranquil Ancient Seal.

However, Lu Cheng'an's cultivation level was far inferior to that of the Flame Horn Fire Deer, and the Thousand-Year Seal and the Quiet Ancient Seal only affected the Flame Horn Fire Deer for a moment.

That one moment is enough!

At this moment, Zhou Hongyu and the other two's attacks landed on the Flame Horned Fire Deer simultaneously.

With a series of violent roars, blood splattered all over the Flamehorn Fire Deer's massive body, and it was instantly seriously injured.

At this moment, it also completely broke free from the control of the Thousand-Year Seal and the Quiet Ancient Seal.

The flames that surged from the Flame Horned Deer's giant antlers instantly condensed into a fireball, which roared towards Zhou Hongyu.

This is because Zhou Hongyu is the strongest and caused the most damage to the Flame Horn Fire Deer, and the Flame Horn Fire Deer hates Zhou Hongyu the most.

Zhou Hongyu was still unaware of what had happened to the Flame Horned Fire Deer, which was why it hadn't dodged their attack.

But at that moment, she had no time to think further; the Flamehorn Fire Deer's attack was already upon her.

Zhou Hongyu made a hand seal, and a stream of water immediately condensed around her body. This was a defensive divine power she had cultivated.

At the same time, Zhou Hongyu also summoned a water mirror, a fifth-grade high-quality defensive magic weapon.

These two powerful defenses blocked the Flamehorn Fire Deer's attack.

However, the Flame Horned Fire Deer's attack did not stop. Its massive body burst into flames, and then it charged directly at Zhou Hongyu's body.

The most powerful feature of the Void Ancient Beasts is their physical bodies. If Zhou Hongyu were to be hit by the Flame Horned Fire Deer's body, he would definitely suffer severe injuries.

Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren showed no mercy, launching rapid attacks with both hands in an attempt to stop the Flame Horn Fire Deer, which was almost driven mad.

Zhou Hongyu's face was cold. She quickly cast a spell, and an ice-blue chain emerged from behind her, instantly binding the body of the Flame Horned Fire Deer.

Suddenly, the Flame Horned Fire Deer opened its mouth, and a rocket shot out from its mouth, piercing towards Zhou Hongyu's body.

The rocket was extremely fast. Although Zhou Hongyu tried her best to resist, she was still hit by the rocket and suffered a serious injury.

With a series of clanging sounds, flame needles shot out from the body of the Flamehorn Fire Deer. These flame needles were made from the deer's fur, and each flame contained extremely violent power.

Tianyun Shangren and Wanshi Laoren fought back fiercely while continuing their attack on Yanjiao Huolu.

A cold look appeared on Zhou Hongyu's face. She made a hand seal, spat out a mouthful of blood essence, and instantly summoned a palm-sized, light blue magic sword.

This is a fifth-tier secret treasure, which, when fully activated, can unleash power comparable to that of a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm.

This is one of Zhou Hongyu's trump cards! (End of Chapter)
