One Hundred Thousand Flame Spirit Guards! Kitchen God: Something's Wrong! This Feeling Is Wrong!

At that moment, the azure fireball gathered from [Minister Fire] came hurtling toward Lu Chen with an unstoppable force terrifying enough to burn the heavens and boil the seas!

The dreadful heat twisted and burst the air around him.

Even the divine protective light rippled violently, as though it would collapse completely the next instant.

"Damn it!"

Lan'er, watching from the corner, saw her pupils contract sharply.

[Minister Fire] was the middle fire of Samadhi True Fire, more than a hundred times stronger than [People's Fire].

Even immortals who came into contact with it had to suppress it with great magical power. At best, they would lose centuries of cultivation.

If their cultivation methods clashed with it, dying on the spot would be nothing unusual.

But Lu Chen possessed nothing more than a mortal body!

Even if the [Hearthfire Seed] was a divine artifact that restrained all fire-related paths beneath heaven.

Could it truly protect his fleshly body from being burned to drifting ash by the lingering embers of [Minister Fire]?

At this moment, Lan'er was so frightened that she did not even dare open her eyes.

Yet in that hair's-breadth moment, the Hearthfire Seed between Lu Chen's brows suddenly trembled and let out a joyous hum!

The next instant, the fire seed expanded tenfold, transforming into a crimson brand that hovered above Lu Chen's head.

A vast divine radiance from the fire seed spread outward, instantly enveloping his entire body.

Even more wondrously, as that divine light extended, the fire barrier around Lan'er behind him grew several degrees stronger out of thin air.

When it fell upon the [Minister Fire] fireball, it forcibly froze it in midair!

"Fizz, fizz, fizz—"

Then, an inconceivable scene unfolded.

Great swathes of white mist, like the smoke and warmth of a hearth, suddenly
