The Basin

Within the Crimson Red Mountain Range, a Crimson Red cauldron stood quietly in the air, waves of scorching heat constantly sweeping around, searing the earth.

Clearly, the people who had entered the distorted space earlier had entered this Crimson Red cauldron, the renowned Burning Heaven Cauldron.

Within the Crimson Red Mountain Range, fiery breaths rose, resembling burning volcanoes from a distance, extremely dazzling.

The peaks, wreathed in Crimson Red flames, echoed the Crimson Red cauldron in the sky, causing the flame-like patterns on the cauldron to seem to come alive. One could even faintly sense those fiery inscriptions burning.

Outside this Mountain Range, at the previous entrance, corpses littered the ground. Those Yuan Gate disciples whose strength had not reached the Eight Yuan Nirvana Realm and thus could not enter the distorted space, along with the disciples of the several super sects affiliated with Yuan Gate, had all fallen into pools of blood.

However, the blood flowing from the Yuan Gate disciples was not the usual bright red, but rather a somewhat dark green.

Seeing the abnormality of the Yuan Gate disciples, the disciples of the Yuan Gate's affiliated forces quickly defected, claiming they were unaware that Yuan Gate had already sided with the Otherworldly Demons, and that was why they had followed Yuan Gate.

However, facing the sophistry of those few super sects, Wang Yan showed no mercy, directly slaughtering all those shameless people who sided with the Otherworldly Demons, without the slightest hesitation.

Having just cleaned up everyone outside, Wang Yan had no time to reorganize the Dao Sect disciples when he saw the distorted space begin to fluctuate. Then, the power of space dissipated, and a large expanse of Crimson Red peaks appeared before Wang Yan and the others.

Seeing this, Wang Yan and the others were about to lead the Dao Sect disciples into the Mountain Range to investigate, but at this moment, Wang Yan suddenly frowned. The next moment, he raised his arm, immediately stopping the Dao Sect disciples who were preparing to enter, and said in a deep voice.

"All Dao Sect disciples, listen to my order, retreat from the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury!"

Upon hearing this, the Dao Sect disciples looked bewildered, but after seeing Wang Yan's solemn expression, they ultimately retreated towards the outside of the Basin.

The other adventurers who had come to the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury had originally planned to take advantage of the opening of the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury to enter and try their luck, hoping to obtain a fortuitous encounter.

Seeing the actions of Dao Sect, many adventurers' restless hearts were suppressed, and they looked at Dao Sect's actions with some confusion.

Watching the Dao Sect disciples retreat from the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, and then looking up at the Crimson Red treasure cauldron in the Mountain Range, most of the strong individuals gritted their teeth and followed the Dao Sect disciples, retreating from the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury together.

The remaining strong individuals, who considered themselves to be quite powerful, followed and entered the interior of the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury.

As soon as they entered the interior of the Burning Heaven Ancient Treasury, these strong individuals focused their attention on Ying Xiaoxiao, Ling Qingzhu, and Yuan Cang, who were confronting each other in the sky.

However, it could be seen that the Dao Sect side clearly occupied a huge advantage, not only in terms of numbers, but also in terms of momentum, they also occupied a huge advantage, almost unilaterally suppressing Yuan Cang and the others.

"Yuan Cang, those who commit many injustices will meet their end. Today, we will completely end the sins of you traitors!"

Ling Qingzhu shouted coldly, and a stream of ice-blue Sword Qi was released from the long Sword in her hand, and wherever it passed, even the scorching heat in this space dropped.

Faced with this Sword, Yuan Cang's face changed abruptly. Under normal circumstances, he would naturally not fear Ling Qingzhu. Even with Ying Xiaoxiao by her side, he would not be afraid at all.

But at this moment, Yuan Cang discovered a terrifying thing, that is, Ling Qingzhu's strength was not weaker than him at all.

No, it should even be said that she was even stronger than him. No matter how arrogant or self-important Yuan Cang was in his heart, he had to admit a fact, that is, his strength was improved by external forces, and it was still Otherworldly Demonic Qi, a power that was incompatible with Origin Power.

Originally, the strength that was forcibly improved was difficult to control, and the power that was exerted was not as good as that obtained through painstaking cultivation, not to mention that the two forces conflicted. This was still because the Otherworldly Demonic Qi in Yuan Cang's body was not strong, and this influence was relatively weak.

If it reached the realm of Tian Yuanzi and Di Yuanzi, once the Otherworldly Demonic Qi in the body broke out, the Origin Power in the body would have to be transformed into Otherworldly Demonic Qi, because the two huge and opposing forces would gradually conflict in the body. If it was not quickly transformed, it would easily explode during fierce fighting.

This was also why the three of Tian Yuanzi had always been unwilling to detonate the Demonic Seed in their bodies, because once the Demonic Seed was detonated, unless they never made a move, they would still be able to barely retain a part of their Origin Power, thereby concealing the aura in their bodies.

But once they made a move, the Otherworldly Demonic Qi in their bodies would instantly assimilate the deliberately maintained trace amount of Origin Power.

Now, Yuan Cang's Origin Power and Otherworldly Demonic Qi were in a balance that he could control, so although he was not in his full state, from a certain point of view, he was actually in his full state, because Yuan Cang could control the power in his body.

However, what Yuan Cang did not expect was that Ling Qingzhu not only improved her strength extremely quickly, and stabilized at the Great Accomplishment of Life Profound Realm so quickly, but also was able to use the Ice Ancestor Symbol to suppress the not-so-pure Otherworldly Demonic Qi in his body.

The suppression, or rather, the restraint of Ancestor Symbols and other divine objects on Otherworldly Demonic Qi, is generally only reflected in the ability of the divine object to completely kill the Otherworldly Demon, which is not possessed by ordinary Origin Power, and it does not mean that Otherworldly Demonic Qi will be afraid of the power of the divine object, or the Ancestor Symbol.

But the premise is that they are creatures of the same level. In fact, the Ancestor Symbol is actually transformed from a Sacred Beast, belonging to a power that contains the rules of heaven and earth. And the pure Otherworldly Demonic Qi within a high-level Otherworldly Demon, in a sense, can also be considered a rule power. It's just that it doesn't belong to the rules of this world. Therefore, ordinary Origin Power finds it difficult to contend with Otherworldly Demonic Qi.

This is also one of the reasons why Yuan Cang was so arrogant before. He could control two powers at the same time and exert the strength he should have.

However, what Yuan Cang didn't expect was that Ling Qingzhu's control over the Ice Ancestor Symbol had reached such a state that she could suppress the Otherworldly Demonic Qi in his body.

The power of the Ancestor Symbol cannot be directly suppressed, that is for those high-level Otherworldly Demons, or those with pure bloodlines and high-level Otherworldly Demons. For a Fiend like him, the suppression is naturally much stronger.

And this move, Ling Qingzhu did not show it when she faced all the Yuan Gate disciples alone before, that is to say, this is Ling Qingzhu...

No, this is definitely not something that was comprehended in a short period of time. It is very likely that Ling Qingzhu knew it all along, but she just didn't show it last time.

"Unexpectedly, you hid your strength back in Otherworldly Demon City."

Yuan Cang looked at Ling Qingzhu with a look of realization, muttering to himself, with a bit of disbelief in his eyes. He originally thought that he was the number one genius in the entire Eastern Xuan Region, except for that Madman, but now it seems that this Reincarnation of the Ice Master is indeed worthy of being the Reincarnation of the Ice Master, and his strength is really beyond his reach.

Now, Yuan Cang understood that this Otherworldly Demon Domain was clearly a certain-kill game prepared for them by Dao Sect and others. As long as they stepped into it, they were destined for Death.

Ridiculous, the three Sect Leaders thought they were well prepared, but now it seems that Dao Sect, no, it should be that Madman, should have seen everything in his eyes, so he went with the flow and set up this game. What he did was probably the same as what he did outside the Yuan Region that day - revenge!

Sure enough, that Madman cannot be provoked. From the moment they provoked him, their demise was already doomed.

Among the Mountain Range, Yuan Cang, who had already foreseen his Death, directly burst out with the strongest power of his life. However, facing the joint efforts of Ling Qingzhu and Ying Xiaoxiao, Yuan Cang only persisted for less than ten moves before being directly beheaded on the spot.

The remaining Lei Qian, Ling Zhen, and other Yuan Gate elite disciples were also quickly beheaded under the encirclement and suppression.

After clearing all the Yuan Gate disciples, Ling Qingzhu and others turned their attention to the huge Crimson Red cauldron in front of them.

"The Burning Heaven Cauldron doesn't seem to have any movement."

Ying Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her eyes. Dao Sect's layout against Yuan Gate seemed to be very large, but in fact, there was only one truly important place, and that was Lin Xuan's place.

If Lin Xuan could suppress, or even get rid of that Otherworldly Demon General, everything would be fine. Even if they capsized in the gutter here, it wouldn't matter. Lin Xuan's level of combat power could easily reverse the situation.

But if Lin Xuan failed to seal that Otherworldly Demon General and he escaped, then the entire Otherworldly Demon Domain would be blood-washed by Otherworldly Demons, and countless creatures would be killed.

That level of powerhouse has already surpassed the limitations of numbers. At least, before the strength reaches a certain level, and the number reaches a certain level, and there must be a joint formation of that level, otherwise, it is impossible to pile it up with numbers. The human sea tactic completely loses its effect in front of that level of powerhouse.

Therefore, Lin Xuan's battlefield is the most important place, and there must be no accidents.

"Don't worry, with his strength, it's no problem to seal that Otherworldly Demon General, I'm just afraid he..."

Ying Huanhuan said softly, with some sadness in her eyes when she spoke. She could feel that Lin Xuan had a different kind of hatred for Otherworldly Demons, and even, it was not just because of the demise of Fu Zhu and Zhu Yan.

No, it also has something to do with Fu Zhu and Zhu Yan.

Perhaps, because of the inheritance of the Four Sacred Beasts and the Four Fiend Beasts, Lin Xuan has gradually begun to become a Divine Beast. Perhaps his body is still human, but his heart has gradually had the kind of mind of a Divine Beast.

And Divine Beasts are born from the rules of heaven and earth, so they will naturally have a natural hostility, or even hatred, for the invading Otherworldly Demons, because Otherworldly Demons destroy this world.

Various hatreds are added together, coupled with Lin Xuan's firm and strong character, as long as he is given a chance, he would rather endure the pain himself, but also make the Otherworldly Demon pay a sufficient price.

Therefore, Ying Huanhuan was worried, worried that he would pay some price to hurt himself in exchange for the complete fall of that Otherworldly Demon General.

"There's a result!"

At this moment, Ling Qingzhu suddenly said, and then, everyone saw that the Crimson Red cauldron in the sky was actually trembling slightly.

"Buzz!!"

Soon, a figure fell out of the Burning Heaven Cauldron. As soon as he appeared, Ying Huanhuan's eyes narrowed, and with a flash, she caught the falling figure.

Supporting Lin Xuan, whose upper garment was torn, and looking at the dense sword marks on his body, a trace of heartache flashed in Ying Huanhuan's eyes as she said softly.

"Why bother? That beast is already doomed. Even if you don't kill it today, it will be obliterated before long."

Ling Qingzhu, standing to the side, didn't speak, but the look she gave Ying Huanhuan carried a hint of complexity and surprise. From the memories she had obtained, her Senior Sister from back then was also this kind of person, showing no mercy when killing Otherworldly Demons, one could say she risked her life.

But now, Ying Huanhuan was actually advising Lin Xuan to be careful and not to risk his life too much.

This... Alas, are women who fall in love all so irrational?

In fact, even Ling Qingzhu herself had a bit of this emotion, but Ling Qingzhu cultivated the Supreme Induction Sutra, calming her mind and focusing her spirit, allowing her to quickly discard distracting thoughts, which was why she could remain clear-headed.

"I'm fine."

Lin Xuan didn't explain much, just shook his head slightly, but clearly, his body was covered in injuries, and he exuded a weak aura, indicating that he wasn't as fine as he claimed.

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Ying Huanhuan gently bit her Pearly Teeth, looking at this stubborn man without saying a word. Ying Xiaoxiao, seeing the atmosphere suddenly stiffen, quickly spoke up and asked.

"By the way, Senior Brother, what about Lin Dong, Junior Brother? Did you see him? I remember he entered the Burning Heaven Cauldron together with you earlier, but he wasn't seen when you came out just now."

"Lin Dong is still inside the Burning Heaven Cauldron. That Burning Heaven Old Man has something to give him."

Lin Xuan said softly. In fact, at the beginning, the Burning Heaven Old Man intended to give everything to him, saying that he had a connection with the Ice Master and that it was most suitable for him.

However, Lin Xuan didn't accept it. Those things were of no use to him. With his current strength, ordinary Pure Origin Treasures were completely useless, not to mention that he had a Divine Sword in his hand that was more miraculous than any divine object.

Moreover, compared to him, Lin Dong needed it more. In addition, with Yan personally stepping forward, the Burning Heaven Old Man withdrew his original suggestion, not only giving the Burning Heaven Cauldron to Lin Dong, but also preparing to give Lin Dong a stroke of good fortune.
