Only those at the Jingnie Realm or above, with their profound cultivation, could barely withstand this extreme heat, yet they were still scorched so badly that their bodies burned and their Immortal Essence circulation was disrupted.
"This is the Magma Heart-Refining Pool of the Immortal Emperor Qinglin, and also the last barrier of the cave. But the temperature is too terrifying. Even if we can withstand it, we won't last long!"
Wang Wei's face turned deathly pale as he spoke, clearly feeling his Immortal Essence being continuously consumed by the high temperature of the magma.
As soon as everyone regained their footing, the demonic energy surged from behind them. Ancient Demon Tagga leaped into the Magma Forbidden Land, surrounded by demonic flames, showing no fear of the high temperature of the lava.
The Ancient Devil looked at the group trapped at the edge of the lava and sneered, "Run! Why don't you keep running? This lava inferno will be your burial ground!"
Luo Chuan's heart sank. Ahead lay the perilous lava, behind them were Ancient Devil pursuing them, and everyone was severely injured, already trapped in a deadly predicament.
Luo Chuan gripped the Luo God Sword tightly, the Six-Star Ancient God mark between his brows flashing as he tried to unleash the Ancient God Power once more. However, his injuries were too severe, and the Ancient God Power within him had long been exhausted, leaving him utterly powerless to fight again.
At this critical moment between life and death, a dazzling crimson light suddenly emanated from Luo Chuan's chest!
The light originated from the depths of his dantian, where a small, exquisite Vermilion Bird Flame suddenly flickered. The flame was golden-red, carrying endless vitality and heat, completely different from the surrounding magma fire. An ancient and noble aura instantly permeated the entire Magma Forbidden Land.
The previously rampant and Zhang Kuang Ancient Demon Tagga suddenly froze, his surging demonic energy halting abruptly. He stared intently at the Vermilion Bird Flame on Luo Chuan's chest, a look of shock appearing in his eyes for the first time, and roared:
"This is... the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire? How could it be on you!"
The Ancient Demon Bero, who had been slumped on the ground, suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief, his whole body trembling. " The Vermilion Bird Sacred Fire... This is the legendary Primordial Vermilion Bird Flame, containing the essence of all flames! Who are you, and why do you possess such a divine flame!"
The Vermilion Bird Divine Fire is one of the Ancient God, capable of burning the heavens and boiling the seas, suppressing all evil and heretical forces. Even the Ancient Demon Tagga felt a suppression originating from his soul when facing this divine fire.
The rolling flames in the magma bowed down like subjects before their king before the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, and the temperature of the entire forbidden area was actually suppressed by this small flame.
Luo Chuan himself was also stunned. He could feel that the Vermilion Bird Flame originated from the depths of his soul and was the Vermilion Bird inheritance that he had accidentally obtained when he was cultivating on Vermilion Bird Planet.
However, he never intended to become the Vermilion Bird Child back then, so he remained dormant within his body and never awoke. Unexpectedly, he has now appeared in the world on his own in this desperate situation.
The moment the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire ignited, ripples suddenly appeared in the previously calm void above the Demon Spirit Land.
The Demon Spirit Land is a place where all kinds of demons gather. It is a vast area with countless powerful beings. At this moment, countless powerful auras suddenly awaken.
Countless gazes pierced through the void, looking towards the direction of the Rain Immortal World, their eyes filled with shock and confusion.
At the summit of a misty, celestial mountain, an old man dressed in Huang Long robe slowly opened his eyes. His face was ancient and simple, and he exuded a powerful dragon aura. He was none other than the True Person Huanglong who addressed Luo Chuan as Ancestor on Vermilion Bird Planet.
True Person Huanglong gazed in the direction of the Rain Immortal World, his brows furrowed, his eyes filled with astonishment and doubt. He muttered to himself, "This peculiar energy... the aura of the Primordial Vermilion Bird's divine fire, could it be him?"
"That little guy from Vermilion Bird Planet back then is actually still alive, and he's even awakened the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire!"
As soon as he finished speaking, True Person Huanglong's figure flashed and disappeared from the top of the immortal mountain, rushing towards the direction of the Immortal Mansion. His dragon might surged around him, clearly startled by the aura of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire and eager to find out what was going on.
Besides True Person Huanglong, figures also took to the air from various sacred sites of the demon race in the Demon Spirit Land.
On White Tiger Ridge, a white tiger shadow streaked across the sky, its roar echoing throughout the Demon Spirit Land. The Great Sage White Tiger, his eyes blazing, stared in the direction of the Rain Immortal World and said in a deep voice, "The Vermilion Bird Divine Fire has appeared in the world. Could it be that the Vermilion Bird clan is about to reappear? This matter is of utmost importance; we must go and investigate!"
In the South Sea Demon Domain, towering waves surged, and a colossal azure dragon emerged, its eyes filled with solemnity. It hissed in a low voice, " The Vermilion Bird Flame, the supreme of all flames! This aura is extraordinary; a great upheaval is about to occur!"
Other powerful figures from the demon realm, including the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, the Golden-Winged Great Peng, and the Old Ancestor Profound Turtle, were also drawn by the aura of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire. They all stepped out of the sacred land, transforming into streaks of light, and rushed towards the Immortal Emperor Cave Abode.
The Vermilion Bird Clan is the strongest force in the Cultivation Alliance. The appearance of their divine fire is enough to alarm the entire Demon Spirit Land and even affect the entire Immortal Realm. Naturally, these powerful demon clans would not miss such a momentous event.
Within the Magma Forbidden Land, the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire on Luo Chuan's chest burned ever brighter. The golden-red flames traveled along his meridians, and his originally severely injured body rapidly recovered under the nourishment of the divine fire. His depleted Ancient God Power also began to slowly revive.
Ancient Demon Tagga snapped out of his shock, a glint of greed and apprehension flashing in his eyes. He stared intently at the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire on Luo Chuan's body and sneered, "I never expected you to have such a trump card. The Vermilion Bird Divine Fire —if I can devour it, my demonic arts will surely advance even further."
"Even the remnant soul of Immortal Emperor Qinglin can be completely devoured! Today, I will not only kill you, but also seize this divine fire for myself!"
Having said that, Taja no longer hesitated. His body surged with demonic flames, and holding the Thick-Backed Blade, he leaped into the air and slashed at Luo Chuan. This time, he dared not be careless in the slightest and used all his strength.
Luo Chuan's eyes narrowed as he felt the surging power within him and the intense heat of the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire. With a wave of his hand, the Luo God Sword instantly flew back into his grasp, the divine fire coiling around the blade, and the golden-red sword light blazing brightly.
He knew that there was no way to retreat now. Even if he was still no match for Taga, he could only fight to the death. The powerful figures from the Demon Spirit Land were on their way, and perhaps this was their only chance of survival.
The Ancient Demon Bero looked at the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire surrounding Luo Chuan, a resolute glint in his eyes. He struggled to his feet and roared, "Brother Luo Chuan, I will use the power of my Demon Core to help you hold off this demon while we await reinforcements!"
Despite their injuries, Wang Wei and Hu Juan stood up, willing to risk their lives to buy time for Luo Chuan, even though they were too weak to fight anymore.
In an instant, within the Magma Forbidden Land, the golden-red divine fire collided with the pitch-black demonic flames, and the fighting spirit of the crowd intertwined with the despair of their predicament. A decisive battle concerning life and death was about to begin once again.
Luo Chuan gripped the Luo God Sword tightly, the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire coiling around its blade. He did not retreat, but instead faced Ta Jia's blade light head-on.
