Extremely Scorching Presence

Misaki City, commercial district.

Compared to the quiet residential areas, the streets here are filled with noise.

Vehicles drove by on the road.

The flow of people crisscrossed all around.

People moved about amidst the sounds of car horns and chaotic conversations, laughing and chatting with their companions, creating a lively urban scene.

Having crossed the Misaki Grand Bridge from the residential area, Fang Li also mingled in the crowd, wandering aimlessly.

However, Fang Li lowered his head slightly, letting his bangs cover his eyes.

The Ice-Blue Demon Eyes kept flashing under her bangs.

He held a sharp dagger in his hand, concealing it behind his back.

Fang Li mingled in the crowd until a person with no presence, unfocused pupils, listless, and whose consciousness had clearly vanished completely passed by him, before he suddenly moved.

No one saw this action.

The reason is simply because it was too fast.

Just as that person, whose very existence was about to perish, passed by Fang Li, an arc of light flashed beside Fang Li and swept across the person's body.

The man immediately stopped, and then his entire body burst into a ghostly blue flame, turning to ashes and disappearing.

No one paid any attention to this scene.

People continued to move about as usual.

Fang Li raised his eyelids and looked around.

"Torch... so many..."

Upon arriving at the bustling commercial district, Fang Li realized that the number of torches he had seen before was nothing compared to the vast majority.

Among the surrounding crowd, there were torches everywhere; almost one in ten people was a torch, a frightening number.

However, the flames of existence within these torches were still burning fiercely, and their consciousness had not dissipated. They continued to chat and laugh with their friends as they walked away.

Seeing this, Fang Li sighed.

"It should be about time."

With that, Fang Li started walking back.

The destination is the bank of the Minami River.

There is no one here.

The water flows through the river, reflecting the sunlight from the sky and making the river sparkle.

Fang Li arrived here and gazed at the river in front of him.

The Ice-Blue Demon Eyes has disappeared.

The sharp dagger was also put away.

Looking at the beautiful riverbank, Fang Li couldn't help but smile slightly and said this.

"Isn't the location a bit too extravagant for our first battle in this world?"

With those words, the world began to change.

"Bang—!"

That was the sound produced by the flames burning.

In that instant, a surge of flames suddenly burst into flames, transforming into a tangible wall that enveloped the entire riverbank.

Within the enveloped area, a geometric square pattern suddenly appeared on the ground, like Magic Circle, expanding directly to the location of the Sunfire Wall.

Immediately, the color of the space changed.

It turned into a glaring bright red.

In this crimson space, everything suddenly came to a standstill.

The flowing river water has come to a standstill.

The fish that were playing were suddenly stilled.

The whistling breeze came to a standstill.

Even the birds flying across the sky suddenly froze, as if they were frozen in space, solidified in this crimson space.

In the blink of an eye, only one person remained capable of moving around in this space.

That's Fang Li.

"Is this Sealed Heaven is?"

————"Sealed Heaven".

That is a kind of Inherent Skill.

The so-called "Inherent Skill" refers to the magic that uses the Power of Existence to create all sorts of magical phenomena at will.

Sealed Heaven is one of these spells.

Like a barrier, it can isolate the inner and outer spaces, completely severing the cause and effect between the two spaces, causing the inner space to enter a state of stillness, while the outer space is an unobservable Inherent Skill to Sealed Heaven inner space.

This kind of Inherent Skill is generally only used for two purposes.

One type is the "disciple," used to conceal their existence and devour the Power of Existence.

One purpose was to use it as a battlefield.

"Bang—!"

Then, a sound like flames burning rang out again.

However, this time it wasn't the sound of Sealed Heaven the attack, but rather the sound of clusters of flames suddenly appearing around Fang Li.

Fang Li's expression remained unchanged as he calmly surveyed his surroundings.

Suddenly, the clusters of flames solidified into physical forms, transforming into individual puppets.

Each doll was dressed in a variety of costumes, some quite old, others completely new and life-size.

"Click... click click..."

These puppets, their joints clattering against each other, slowly moved forward, surrounding Fang Li.

Looking at these dolls, Fang Li couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

"Phosphorus?"

— "Phosphorus".

That is not Crimson Realm Denizens, but a servant created by the Crimson Realm Denizens using the Power of Existence in this world. It is a tool that cannot maintain its form and dies without the power supply of its master.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Crimson Realm Denizens use the phosphorus they create as a tool to collect the Power of Existence and then spread it out.

Naturally, these beings were merely small fry, far less powerful than the Crimson Realm Denizens. In terms of strength, they were roughly equivalent to medium-sized Aragami, posing no threat to Fang Li whatsoever.

This made Fang Li laugh.

"I see. Since we didn't know the situation, we sent out scouts first. Even if we found the enemy and couldn't annihilate them, we could still use them to test their strength?"

This proves only one thing.

Hidden in Misaki City, the "Disciple" is a very cautious individual who is also skilled at using schemes.

"If my memory serves me right, that is indeed who he is."

Fang Li seemed oblivious to the danger lurking in the air, continuing to express his own thoughts.

That arrogant attitude seemed to have enraged the surrounding phosphorus.

"Click... click click..."

With a crisp sound, the puppets suddenly swung their arms and legs, bursting up from all directions like ferocious beasts pouncing out, rushing forward.

As the puppets rushed towards him, Fang Li narrowed his eyes and slowly reached behind him.

However, the next second, Fang Li stopped moving.

"This is..."

Fang Li looked in one of the directions with some surprise.

At that moment, Fang Li vaguely sensed it.

An extremely hot aura is rapidly approaching this place.

The intense heat sparked a flash of inspiration in Fang Li's mind.

"Could it be her?"

Fang Li saw it the moment those words were spoken.

A figure appeared in mid-air.
