Liu Ruyan Borrows Xiao Yan's Flame?

"What's going on?!"

"Could there be more undead pretending to be dead?!"

"Damn it, again?!"

After the battle earlier, everyone was mentally and physically exhausted.

"Kehehehe!"

"You actually managed to destroy this Venerable's puppet army. Interesting."

"This Venerable loves eating talented people like you most, kehehehe!"

A massive undead with two horns growing from its head appeared on the horizon.

"Holy shit! What kind of monster is that?!"

"Damn it, what terrifying aura! My life is over!"

Everyone panicked and tried to flee. They had no ability whatsoever to fight back against such a powerful undead!

But where could they run in this secret realm?

By their calculations, the secret realm's exit would not open again for at least another day.

"Mu Qing'er, Shi Yuan, attack now!"

After speaking, Wang Teng hurriedly took out the spatial fragment again. This undead's aura was far too powerful, more than a hundred times stronger than the strongest undead in the ruins earlier!

At Wang Teng's words, the three of them attacked together.

A fiery red jade shard, a jade pendant, and an azure scroll flew together toward the undead in the distance.

After a tremendous explosion, the undead was completely unharmed!

"Hahaha, are you scratching this Venerable's itch?"

"This Venerable..."

"Could this be an undead at the Dou Zun Realm?"

"A Dou Zun Realm Expert!"

"This is over!"

Wang Teng despaired. Why the hell was there a Dou Zun Realm Expert inside this secret realm?!

The undead's aura was unstable, clearly showing that it had yet to fully recover. Even so, it was not something people like them could contend against!

"This Venerable will kill you first, then head to the Northwest Continent for a grand slaughter!"

"That damned Dan Chen thinks he can trap me like this?"

"As long as I replenish my blood and vitality, this Venerable, Blood River, can revive perfectly!"

With that, Blood River Venerable began to attack. He merely stood there without moving, yet the people below immediately began screaming.

"Ah! My hand! My leg!"

Some of the weaker people had their entire bodies begin to melt away under the resentful spirits.

"Medusa, open your sea of consciousness."

Just as Medusa was flustered and did not know what to do, the senior in her ring spoke again.

She immediately opened her sea of consciousness, allowing Liu Ruyan's remnant soul to enter.

Taking action in this state would come at a price, but because she had taken the Soul Nourishing Pill earlier and recovered considerably, she could still bear it.

Seeing that Medusa and the others were about to be killed, she could no longer stand by and watch.

"Kid, lend me your Green Lotus Core Flame."

Liu Ruyan spoke in an unquestionable tone.

"Huh?"

"Senior Sister, you want to...?"

Xiao Yan still wanted to say more, but when he saw Medusa's icy gaze, he hurriedly lent over control of the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Then, before the shocked eyes of Shi Hao, Xiao Yan, Wang Teng, and the others, she flew toward Blood River Venerable in the sky.

"Where did this insect come from? You're courting death!"

When Blood River Venerable saw someone actually daring to attack him, he immediately flew into a rage.

"Who is that woman?!"

"She's actually so fearless!"

Everyone was utterly shocked to see someone take the initiative to attack the undead in the sky!

"Senior Sister, be careful!"

Xiao Yan had never imagined that Senior Sister had borrowed his Heavenly Flame in order to...

It was already too late to stop her!

He could only hope for a miracle!

Blood River Venerable roared as resentful spirits surged into the sky, and he slammed down with all his strength!

He would crush this insect courting death into pulp!

Holding the Green Lotus Core Flame, Liu Ruyan pierced straight through his palm and continued flying upward.

The burning pain from his palm made Blood River Venerable even more enraged.

Blood River resentful spirits flooded the entire secret realm!

"Heavenly Flame!!"

"Impossible!"

"Who are you? Why is there such a powerful expert like you in the Northwest Continent?!"

Blood River Venerable roared.

He could not understand why this insect, so young in appearance, possessed such terrifying cultivation!

When had such an unrivaled genius appeared in the Northwest Continent?

"A lowly ant has no need to know this seat's name."

Liu Ruyan stood suspended in the air.

The Green Lotus Core Flame in her hand shone brilliantly. Then, centered around Liu Ruyan, nine dazzling streams of earthfire streaked across the heavens.

Green Lotus Shining Across the Nine Heavens!

Green Lotus Nine Palaces, explode!!

"No!"

Sensing the fatal threat, Blood River Venerable roared.

"Damn blood food, just wait! I, Blood River Venerable, will return one day!"

"Especially you, you damned woman..."

Before Blood River Venerable could finish speaking, the bewitching Green Lotus Core Flame pierced through his body, and he vanished into smoke.

Xiao Yan stood there dumbfounded. Senior Sister had slaughtered Blood River Venerable...

And what kind of terrifying strength was that?

Why was it so vastly different from the Green Lotus Nine Palaces he had used?

At that moment, Xiao Yan watched the figure in the sky wield the Green Lotus Core Flame, instantly kill a Dou Zun Realm Expert with a single move, then depart with effortless grace.

He could not help but sigh. He still had a long way to go on his path of Dou Qi cultivation.

"Holy shit, Senior Brother!"

"I never thought our Senior Sister would be this amazing!"

"Uh..."

"I didn't expect it either..."

At this point, Shi Hao slowly recovered from his shock.

Just before entering the secret realm, he had shamelessly declared that he would protect Senior Sister, hadn't he?

Thinking of that, Shi Hao felt his face burn.

"Your flame."

"If it had not been for it, I would not have won so easily."

Liu Ruyan came before Xiao Yan and returned control of the Green Lotus Core Flame to him.

"Ah, oh..."

Xiao Yan finally snapped out of it and hurriedly accepted the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Over the following day, disciples from the various sects continued searching the secret realm, and all of them gained something to varying degrees.

However, no more lucky ones emerged, and as for the inheritance of a Dou Zun Realm Expert, it never appeared at all.

Perhaps the greatest harvest in this secret realm had been Dan Zun's medicinal pills?

As the end drew near, a vortex appeared above the secret realm, identical to the one through which they had entered.

"Let's go, Senior Brother. The secret realm's exit is open."

The secret realm's exit would remain open for only half a day. If they failed to leave within that time, they could only wait until the secret realm opened again.

This trip had not been in vain.

Outside Chu Yun Imperial City, Chu Yun Empire.

The elders of every sect had already gathered there, hoping their disciples would obtain the inheritance of a Dou Zun Realm Expert. If not, getting more resources would do as well.

The vortex appeared outside Chu Yun Imperial City, and disciples gradually emerged from it.

By the time the deadline approached, nearly all the sect disciples had come out.

Seeing that fewer than half of the disciples remained, everyone could not help but sigh.

The competition in this secret realm had been far too intense!

"How was it?"

"Did the inheritance of a Dou Zun Realm Expert appear inside?"

An elder immediately stepped forward and asked impatiently.

"No, and we didn't find anything particularly good either."

"No?"

"Then why did you compete so fiercely? So many people died."

The elder was deeply puzzled.

"Elder, we encountered a huge number of undead inside!"

"Our entire group almost perished in the secret realm."

"Fortunately, a powerful woman intervened and destroyed them."

Even now, the disciple speaking still felt lingering fear.

"Undead!"

On the road.

"Master, we gained quite a lot this time!"

Shi Hao told Ye Changge about the Eighth-grade Medicinal Pill they had obtained in the ruins and the entire process of killing the Hall of Souls undead.

"An Eighth-grade Medicinal Pill."

Ye Changge fell into thought.

Yeah, damn it!

Ye Emperor Hall did not even have an alchemist. Should he have the ancestor invite a high-level alchemist over?

Alchemy?

That's right! How had he forgotten about Yao Chen?

It seemed he needed to quickly begin preparing for Yao Chen's resurrection!
