Chapter 1387 Crimson Lotus
Yun Fengzhu took a breath and nodded, saying, "Alright, then let's be careful. Once we confirm who that person is, we'll leave immediately."
"This……"
Junior Brother Xu hesitated for a moment, then, facing the pressure of Zhuang Heng's gaze, reluctantly said:
"Alright then, but let's make this clear first: we'll only take one look. Regardless of whether that person is Fellow Daoist Yun's junior brother or not, we must leave immediately."
Zhuang Heng nodded: "Junior brother, don't worry, I understand."
Having said that, he flipped his hand and took out the small white flag. With a flick of his wrist, he cast a spell to conceal the three figures, then vanished into the void and flew swiftly towards the battlefield.
The three moved quickly and soon arrived near the battlefield. As they got closer, they could clearly feel the surroundings becoming scorching hot.
Although no flames were visible, waves of heat rolled in, distorting the air.
As they continued deeper into the area, the three men's expressions grew increasingly grave.
Based on their previous perceptions, they are currently located nearly 70,000 miles away from the battlefield.
The aftershocks of their battle could reach so far; one can only imagine how intense the duel at the heart of the battlefield must have been.
Putting everything else aside, the power of these flames radiating heat alone is no exaggeration to say that they are capable of destroying the heavens and the earth!
Just then, Yun Fengzhu suddenly stopped, and Zhuang Heng, who was wondering what was going on, also stopped abruptly, looking ahead with a look of surprise.
"This, what is this..."
Not far ahead of the three, a large black area appeared in the naked eye.
The black area was extremely large, with no end in sight. Only after probing with divine sense did I realize that it was a huge pit with an unknown area and a depth of tens of thousands of feet!
The air inside was distorted, and the heat waves were rolling in. The bottom of the pit was full of black ash, which, with the constant surging of the heat waves, resembled a desolate sea of ash.
"What kind of flame is this that can affect such a large area!"
"Such terrifying power, even the earth was burned to ashes, could it be that the sword cultivator used some secret technique to summon heavenly fire to burn this place?!"
Junior Brother Xu clenched his fists slightly, his whole body stiffened, his blood surged, his heart pounded, and he wished he could turn around and run away immediately.
Zhuang Heng naturally understood what his junior brother was afraid of; to be honest, he was afraid too.
Even though the flames had died down, he still felt his heart pounding with fear.
The sheer power of this world-destroying force made his body tense just from sensing it; even the slightest touch would likely reduce them to ashes.
Such magical arts, comparable to immortal techniques, were simply beyond their ability to contend with.
He released his divine sense and carefully extended it forward, trying to find the boundary of this place. Then he moved faster and faster until he suddenly stopped after reaching a certain limit.
"This……"
Zhuang Heng's breathing quickened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"What a vast area! My divine sense can't even see the boundaries of this place..."
His divine sense was extremely powerful, enough to cover an area of 23,000 li.
But now, even with his full divine sense, he couldn't find the boundary of the flames.
A spell with such a wide range must be some kind of powerful divine ability. If this spell were used in human territory, it could easily destroy millions of lives!
"call……"
Zhuang Heng let out a long breath, composed himself, and looked ahead again.
Now is not the time to be afraid. No matter the outcome of this battle, this is the time when the Mountain-Shaking Demon King is at his weakest. He must go and see him!
Ideally, we should also find out who exactly performed this supernatural power.
After thinking it over, he waved his hand and released a cool breeze to help the three of them calm down quickly. Then, without saying a word, he cast a spell to conceal his figure and continued forward with the two of them without further ado.
Now it's almost certain that the one who fought the Mountain-Shaking Demon King was undoubtedly a powerful being at the Demon King level.
It's just unknown who that powerful figure is. If he really is that sword cultivator, how did he manage to do all this?
Despite only being at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, his strength was so formidable that he not only fought the Demon King to a standstill but also caused a commotion that shook the land for tens of thousands of miles.
If this person wasn't hiding his strength, then he must possess an extremely powerful treasure that could help him contend with the Demon King.
Perhaps, the ashes scattered all over the ground were caused by that treasure in his hand!
Zhuang Heng's eyes flickered, his thoughts churning.
There are only three beings among the entire human race in the entire Land of Inheritance who can rival a demon king.
Now, there's one more.
No matter the cost, he would find a way to win this person over and help the human race fight against those demon kings!
Beside him, Yun Fengzhu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since he is a powerful expert who uses fire, and there is no sword intent or lightning sensed here.
It seems that the one fighting here is not Jiang Han, right?
That's good, that's perfect.
……
The center of the battlefield.
The former demon king's cave is now nothing but ashes, and the towering black stone mountain has long since been burned to ashes and disappeared.
Apart from Jiang Han and the Demon King's physical body, only the towering black fire lotus remained, blooming and burning.
The black sea of fire that had spread for 50,000 miles had now been completely drawn into the fire lotus.
After absorbing a massive amount of black demonic fire, the ten-thousand-foot-tall black lotus actually grew red veins on its leaves.
The veins shimmered with a crimson light like blood vessels, giving the black lotus a touch of liveliness.
Before long, the flames above the black lotus gradually died down, and the lotus leaves began to turn to ash and dissipate.
Layers of ash were blown away by the heat wave, turning into countless black ashes that filled the sky.
As more and more ashes accumulated, the fire lotus grew smaller and its color deepened.
In the end, the fiery lotus transformed into a tiny black lotus, no bigger than a palm, suspended in mid-air, spinning rapidly under the impact of the heat waves.
"What is this? Could it have become a treasure by some twist of fate?"
Jiang Han examined it carefully for a moment, then raised his hand and manipulated the lightning to approach the black lotus, intending to capture and collect it.
But to everyone's surprise, the lightning bolt suddenly burst into flames as soon as it approached within a thousand feet of the black lotus, instantly consuming itself.
"What a treasure! It can even burn lightning."
Jiang Han's eyes lit up, and he paid even more attention to the fire lotus.
This was only a thousand feet away from the fire lotus, yet its power was already so great that even he didn't have time to react before the lightning was completely burned away.
If this fire lotus were to erupt close to someone, its power would be enough to burn even a powerful cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage to ashes in an instant.
