Why did you provoke her? Even Heaven itself is afraid of her.

The Dharma Protector roared angrily.

With a wave of his hand, countless black stone pillars surged from the ground, piercing towards Ling Yun and Qin Feng.

Ling Yun swiftly swung his sword, severing the approaching stone pillar, while simultaneously dodging to the side.

Qin Feng then unleashed a powerful wind spell, causing the stone pillar to tilt and weaken its attack power.

Seeing that the attack had been neutralized, the guardian chanted incantations and summoned a group of demonic beasts formed from dark energy.

These monstrous beasts bared their fangs and roared as they pounced on Ling Yun and Qin Feng.

Ling Yun unleashed a set of sword techniques, his sword energy forming a net that repelled the demonic beasts.

Qin Feng was not to be outdone, so he mobilized the surrounding fire elements to create a sea of ​​fire that enveloped the magical beast.

Taking advantage of the enemy being held back by the sea of ​​fire, Ling Yun and Qin Feng charged toward the rear again.

Just as they were about to break through the defenses, a barrier of black flames blocked their way.

Ling Yun tried to strike with his spirit sword, but found that the flame barrier was extremely resilient, and the blade became stuck inside and could not break through.

At this moment, Qin Feng had a sudden inspiration.

He mobilized all the spiritual power within his body, condensing it into a huge spiritual spear, which he hurled towards the flame barrier.

The spiritual spear, carrying immense force, tore a gap in the flame barrier.

Taking advantage of the gap, Ling Yun and Qin Feng finally broke through the enemy's encirclement.

But they knew that the Dark Flame Cult would not give up easily.

The ancient books must be returned to the Son of the Sun as soon as possible to formulate the next steps.

The two swiftly traversed between realms, shaking off the Dark Flame Cult's pursuers.

Upon returning to the palace of the Son of the Sun, the Son of the Sun had been anxiously waiting for some time.

Ling Yun presented the ancient book, and the Son of the Sun hurriedly flipped through it, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

"This ancient book contains many core secrets about the Dark Flame Cult. It mentions that the Heart of the Flame Demon not only grants the cult leader immense power, but also allows him to establish a connection with the dark world through a certain ritual. If successful, the consequences would be unimaginable," the Son of the Sun said with deep concern.

Qin Feng frowned and asked, "Then how can we stop them?"

After a moment of contemplation, Ling Yun said, "Since the Heart of the Flame Demon is the key, we should find a way to destroy it or sever its connection with the Dark World. But we must first find the exact location of the Heart of the Flame Demon."

The Son of the Sun nodded and said, "I will mobilize all forces to search for the whereabouts of the Heart of the Flame Demon. In the meantime, you should focus on recovering from your injuries. Once we find a clue, we will act together again."

In the days that followed, the Son of the Sun's men searched for information everywhere.

Ling Yun and Qin Feng recuperated in the palace and studied ancient books, trying to find more information about the weaknesses of the Dark Flame Cult and how to defeat it.

at last.

During a secret investigation, the Sun Child's spies discovered traces of the Heart of the Flame Demon.

It turns out that it was hidden in a very secret underground palace of the Dark Flame Cult.

Upon learning this news.

Ling Yun, Qin Feng, and the Son of the Sun quickly gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"This underground palace is heavily guarded, and it is said that several elders of the Dark Flame Cult are stationed inside. It will be no easy task to seize the Heart of the Flame Demon."

The Son of the Sun frowned and said with a worried expression.

Qin Feng nodded slightly and analyzed, "But we can't just sit here and wait to die; we must take the initiative. We can start by examining their protective forces and restrictions to find a way to break them."

Ling Yun opened the ancient book and carefully studied the records about the Dark Flame Cult's restrictions and protective powers.

He then said, "Ancient texts mention that the Dark Flame Cult's restrictions are closely related to the power of dark flames. We can try to break them using the opposing force of light spiritual energy."

After in-depth discussions, they developed a detailed plan.

The Son of the Sun was tasked with leading a portion of the forces to create a disturbance around the palace, drawing away the main force of the Dark Flame Cult.

Qin Feng led another team, carrying pre-prepared crystals of luminous spiritual energy, to break the restrictions surrounding the palace.

With his extraordinary strength and agility, Ling Yun ventured deep into the palace and seized the Heart of the Flame Demon.

On the day of the operation, the Son of the Sun was the first to launch an attack.

He unleashed his full power, releasing a powerful golden light and energy fluctuations, like a dazzling star illuminating the sky above the Dark Flame Cult's underground palace.

Seeing this, the Dark Flame Cult members mobilized and engaged in fierce combat with the Son of the Sun's forces.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Qin Feng led his men to quickly approach the outer perimeter of the palace's protective barrier.

He took out the crystal of luminous spiritual energy, infused it with spiritual energy according to the method he had studied beforehand, and then threw it toward the restriction.

The crystal of luminous spiritual energy collided with the restriction, emitting a violent flash of light and energy fluctuations, and cracks appeared on the restriction.

However, the followers of the Dark Flame Cult also noticed Qin Feng's actions and immediately sent a portion of their forces to stop him.

Qin Feng and his men continued to break through the restrictions while defending against the enemy's attacks.

After a fierce battle, Qin Feng finally succeeded in breaking the restrictions surrounding the palace.

He signaled to Lingyun.

Upon receiving the signal, Ling Yun rushed into the palace like a black lightning bolt.

The palace was dark and gloomy, filled with a strong sense of darkness, and eerie black flames burned on the walls.

Lingyun proceeded cautiously.

Suddenly, a group of Dark Flame Cult protectors rushed out of the darkness and surrounded her.

These guardians are powerful, and each of them exudes a chilling aura of darkness.

Ling Yun was not afraid at all.

She drew her spirit sword, perfectly fusing the Star Core with the power of the Primordial Chaos, and unleashed a set of fierce sword techniques.

In an instant, sword energy crisscrossed, and light flashed.

It stands in stark contrast to the surrounding darkness.

During the fierce battle, Lingyun discovered that although the guardians' attacks were powerful, their movements seemed to be restricted by some kind of force.

There is a certain gap between each attack.

Ling Yun seized this opening and moved among the enemies like a ghost, each sword strike hitting their vital points.

After a fierce battle, Ling Yun successfully repelled the group of guardians.

Ling Yun continued deeper into the palace and finally arrived at the secret chamber where the Heart of the Flame Demon was stored.

Inside the secret chamber, a heart emitting eerie black flames floats in mid-air, surrounded by a ring of mysterious runes.

As soon as Ling Yun approached, the Heart of the Flame Demon trembled violently, as if it had sensed danger.

Suddenly, the door to the secret room slammed shut.

The leader of the Dark Flame Cult slowly emerged from the shadows.

The cult leader was dressed in a long black robe, with a cold and stern face, and exuded a powerful aura of darkness.

His eyes gleamed with a blood-red light, like those of a demon from hell.

"I didn't expect you to find this place. However, your good luck ends here," the cult leader said coldly.

Ling Yun did not back down.

She gripped the spirit sword tightly and said, "We don't know who will win or lose yet."

The cult leader let out a mocking laugh: "You? Ridiculous. Do you think the Heart of the Flame Demon is so easily destroyed?"

After saying that, the cult leader immediately launched an attack on Ling Yun.

A powerful dark force surged toward Ling Yun.
