Spirit General Ling Chi

Above the Fire River, the water suddenly boiled, and huge waves surged up, finally crashing against the surrounding platforms with a thunderous roar.

The sudden change in the Fire River immediately attracted countless gazes from all around. Their eyes were filled with surprise and uncertainty. Could it be that Lin Langtian was about to come out?

Upon hearing this, many people craned their necks.

The strange fluctuations emanating from the depths of the Fire River and the dark clouds constantly unleashing lightning in the sky both proved that Lin Langtian had simultaneously survived the Nirvana Tribulation and the Wind Lightning Tribulation.

Even for disciples of the Yuan Sect, the experience of undergoing both the Nirvana Tribulation and the Wind Lightning Tribulation was quite unfamiliar.

They wanted to see just how freak this newcomer named Lin Langtian really was.

On a platform closest to the Fire River, figures were numerous, forming seven distinct circles. At the head of each of these circles, a figure stood proudly.

Several gazes swept over the seven figures, their eyes filled with awe, for these seven were none other than the seven most outstanding direct disciples of the Fire Division in this generation!

On the far right was an exceptionally muscular man dressed in a red robe, his face taut and his expression cold. Surprisingly, his pair of red eyes were particularly strange; when you looked into them, it was as if his gaze was spitting fire, making you feel extremely stinged.

This person is none other than Ling Chi, the Fire Division Senior Brother and one of the Yuan Gate Eight Spirit Generals!

At this moment, Ling Chi's followers also looked at this scene with surprise. Then, one of them frowned slightly, then pursed his lips and said.

"He's certainly got some skills, but even if he survives this Nirvana Tribulation, he'll only be at the Seven Yuan Nirvana Stage."

Being able to stand so close to Ling Chi, these followers were clearly not ordinary lackeys; they were all core disciples within the Fire Division.

Their strength had long since reached the seventh or even Eight Yuan Nirvana Stage, and they also possessed a variety of powerful martial arts, making them exceptionally strong in combat.

Although Lin Langtian had defeated Xiao Lie before, this was obviously not enough to make these people wary, after all, their leader was Ling Chi, a Fire Division Spirit General and Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage Ling Chi.

"By the way, I heard that Lin Langtian joined the Fire Division in the first place because he wanted to subdue the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame. It seems that this kid is eyeing the position of Senior Brother." At this moment, another person spoke up.

The moment the man finished speaking, the room fell silent. But then someone sneered, "He's just a newcomer, and he thinks he can take the position of Senior Brother Spirit General?"

According to the rules of the Fire Division, apart from the department head, Deputy Chief, and some stewards, only Spirit General among the disciples are qualified to come into contact with the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame.

Lin Langtian's boast that he wanted to subdue the Chaos Abyssal Demon Flame made his intentions as clear as day.

However, as the Fire Division Senior Brother, Ling Chi's position has been virtually unchallenged since he obtained the status of Spirit General. Although Lin Langtian is very powerful, as Ling Chi's followers, they obviously do not believe, nor can they believe, that Lin Langtian will replace Ling Chi's position.

At this moment, Ling Chi heard the discussion of the group and slowly looked towards the depths of the Fire River. A flash of firelight appeared in his crimson eyes, and then he said coldly.

"Oh, someone's actually interested in my position? It's been a long time since I've seen such an interesting newcomer."

"In that case, I'll wait for him at the Fire Division Grand Competition. However, the consequences of failing to challenge me will be dire..."

Upon hearing Ling Chi's words, his followers seemed to realize something and couldn't help but shudder, clearly moved by the phrase "very tragic."

Although the competition in the Yuan Sect is fierce, most disciples are not in the Chaotic Demon Sea they fight everywhere. Generally speaking, their methods are relatively restrained. Apart from a very few disciples who harbor deep hatred for each other, there are very few casualties among them.

However, Ling Chi was different. His favorite thing was to use flames to roast his opponents alive in front of everyone, like roast suckling pigs. The scene was so bloody that it was horrifying.

Within the Yuan Sect, Ling Chi's cruel and ruthless methods were renowned even among the Eight Great Spirit General.

Thinking of this, Lin Langtian deep in the Fire River again, they couldn't help but show sympathy in their eyes.

Of all people to mess with, why did I have to provoke Ling Chi? I was practically asking for death...

Boom!

While everyone was lost in thought, a pillar of light formed from Molten Lava Energy burst forth from the river, accompanied by an astonishing sound.

Bang bang bang!

As the lake surface trembled, the eddies on the surface became smaller and smaller, until finally, only a channel about ten feet in diameter remained.

"They're out!"

Suddenly, someone shouted from a distant mountain peak, and all the Fire Division disciples present immediately looked up, their eyes fixed on the Fire River.

Call out!

As soon as the shout fell, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from the dissipating vortex, then surged out of the Fire River and soared into the sky.

Boom!

Just as the golden light burst forth from the lake, an astonishing surge of energy also instantly swept out from within it.

All eyes were instantly drawn to the golden light. Within the golden light, there seemed to be a figure, looking up at the sky and letting out a clear roar. The roar was mixed with a powerful Nirvana Qi, which rolled out and spread.

Under the gaze of countless eyes, the golden light gradually dissipated, and then a slender young figure clearly appeared before everyone's eyes.

The figure was enveloped in golden light, making it quite extraordinary from a distance. Moreover, many people felt a sense of oppression within that golden light.

"That's... the Primordial Spirit Qi..."

Ling Chi and the others narrowed their eyes slightly. After entering the Seven Yuan Nirvana Stage, the Yuan Power within their bodies began to generate Primordial Spirit Qi, so they were naturally very familiar with this kind of fluctuation.

What made them somewhat uneasy was that the Primordial Spirit Qi surging from Lin Langtian's body, who had just entered the Seven Yuan Nirvana Stage, was not only stronger than theirs, but also seemed to have a purer quality...

"He hasn't condensed his Nascent Soul yet, has he..." A person behind Ling Chi said in a deep voice, his pupils shrinking.

Such a rich and pure Primordial Spirit Qi can probably only be released by someone who has truly condensed their Nascent Soul.

Upon hearing this, Ling Chi frowned slightly. As Nine Yuan Nirvana Stage cultivator, he had only just begun to condense his primordial Nascent Soul. Even if Lin Langtian had the Earth Core Spirit Nurturing Saliva, a reward from the sect, it was impossible for him to condense his Nascent Soul so quickly.

However, for some reason, looking at Lin Langtian's back, Ling Chi felt a strange sense of hostility and a malice arose in his heart.

At this moment, above the Fire River, Lin Langtian also felt a chill. He then shifted his gaze and quickly locked onto Ling Chi's location.

Upon seeing the red-eyed man, Lin Langtian seemed to sense something and guessed his identity, then a cold smile appeared on his lips.

The Fire Division Spirit General can ultimately only belong to one person.
