My low-key cultivation of immortality was discovered by the emperor in my diary.

In the deep sea, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp.

This is the cruelest way of survival in nature.

And isn't the same true among different kinds of fire?

They have no life, yet they are more than life itself, with devouring as the source of their evolution and power as their sole pursuit.

Even the Seven-Turn Glazed Flame, this naturally powerful strange fire, requires a huge price to pay for each transformation.

In comparison, although the Great Sun Blazing Flame is not as powerful as the Seven-Turn Glazed Flame, it has devoured countless low-level strange flames and absorbed countless rare and precious materials during its growth to the fifth rank, which is why it has the power it has today.

It was nurtured by Venerable Qianyan for hundreds of years and possesses strong spiritual power.

At this moment, faced with the threat of the Seven-Turn Glazed Flame, the Great Sun Blazing Fire's instinct made it feel fear.

However, what it fears even more is "death," or rather, annihilation.

Without the slightest hesitation, the fire toad vanished instantly, transforming into a ball of blazing white flame, and flew back to Venerable Qianyan's side at top speed.

His face was ashen, and he said in a deep voice, "This is Skyfire Island. Do you really intend to press this further?"

Chu Lengyu wore an elegant long dress, her face hidden under a thin white veil. Although her features were not clearly visible, the coldness in her eyes was as sharp as frost and snow, exceptionally cold.

Her voice was cold and clear: "Hand over the Great Sun Blazing Fire, and I may spare your life."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Qianyan felt a surge of anger rush to his head, his hands clenched into fists, and veins bulged.

The Great Sun Blazing Fire was almost one with him, the foundation of his centuries of arduous cultivation. If he lost the Great Sun Blazing Fire, he would lose not only his strength, but also his life.

He stared at Chu Lengyu with a sinister gaze, already understanding that this female cultivator was no innocent victim; her purpose in coming here was to steal and devour the Great Sun Blazing Fire.

There is no room for reconciliation between them.

Without hesitation, Venerable Qianyan turned and fled.

With a flash, he shut down the entire Soul Burning Purgatory Array, then used a fire escape technique, transforming his body into a blazing stream of fire as he fled out of the forbidden area.

In order to confuse Chu Lengyu, he even created several clones, each of which exuded a powerful aura, just like him.

These clones scattered and fled, making it difficult to distinguish which one was the real Thousand Flame Venerable.

Chu Lengyu was not surprised by Qianyan Venerable's escape; his reaction was exactly what she had expected.

While continuing to use lightning magic to block, with the power of lightning swirling in the air and emitting deafening roars, she secretly activated the backup plan she had already laid out.

As soon as Venerable Qianyan flew out of the area originally covered by the Soul Burning Purgatory Array, he was secretly thinking about where to hide next.

Unexpectedly, another unfamiliar formation suddenly appeared in front of him, forming a barrier that firmly blocked his path.

His heart sank, and he secretly regretted that he had been too careless when entering the forbidden area and had not paid attention to carefully checking the surrounding environment, which was why he was caught in the ambush by this formation.

With a formation blocking his way in front and enemies relentlessly pursuing him from behind, Venerable Qianyan knew that if he didn't eliminate Chu Lengyu today, he would have no chance of escaping alive.

A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and his fire elemental power surged dramatically.

He completely absorbed the blazing fire of the great sun into his body, his long hair turned completely fiery red, and even his eyebrows were consumed by the flames, leaving only a pair of crimson eyes, as terrifying as a demon from hell.

A white holy fire mark appeared between his eyebrows.

In the blink of an eye, Venerable Qianyan had transformed into a fiery figure, his entire body turning crimson, even his eyes were bloodshot.

He shouted sternly, "Over the years, I have been searching for otherworldly beasts and researching the art of fusing different flames. Today, I will use you to test my newly comprehended divine power!"

After saying that, he moved swiftly and, without fear of death, pounced on Chu Lengyu.

……

Skyfire City, a city renowned for its extraordinary fire, is currently in the midst of a great uproar.

The Blazing Fire Tower remains open, welcoming cultivators from all directions.

Inside the tower, cultivators either sat in meditation to improve their cultivation level or anxiously searched for seeds of strange fire that could greatly enhance their strength.

The sudden departure of Venerable Qianyan did not cause any disturbance.

As the true ruler of Skyfire City, his whereabouts have always been mysterious and unpredictable, and no one dares to speculate on his decisions.

The patriarch did not reveal his whereabouts, and the subordinates naturally dared not ask any further questions, but simply continued to perform their duties in silence.

The Yang family cultivators, as a local force in Tianhuo City, are currently busy receiving representatives from other families and sects in the surrounding area.

The representatives' faces were beaming with smiles, and they showered the representatives with compliments.

"One hundred thousand cultivators gathered in Tianhuo City. Such a grand scene can only be seen once a year. Only a generous and magnanimous Venerable Qianyan, who is willing to mentor younger generations, could do this."

"Indeed, Your Excellency has the world in your heart, we truly admire you!"

"Looking across the entire Minghai Realm, when it comes to the path of different flames, Tianhuo City is definitely number one!"

These cultivators smacked the city with compliments, as if they wanted to offer all the praise to the city and to the lofty Venerable Qianyan.

In their eyes, although the Yang family was not a powerful family, as long as Venerable Qianyan was alive, they would not dare to be negligent or disrespectful in the slightest.

The city was filled with laughter and joy, but in contrast, the Yang family residence remained remarkably quiet.

The Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yang family were all solemnly gazing towards the forbidden area behind the mountain.

A faint heat wafted through the air, a sign that the power of the earth's fire was stirring.

A moment ago, Venerable Qianyan suddenly returned to the back mountain and immediately activated the Soul Burning Purgatory Array.

Once activated, the formation immediately drew upon the earth fire power beneath Tianhuo Island, causing fire-type spiritual energy to converge on the forbidden area behind the mountain like a tidal wave.

The intense heat, even from a great distance, sent a shiver down one's spine.
