As dawn broke, the first Battle Saint finally appeared; the strongest who had arrived earlier was only a Half-Saint.
The moment this Battle Saint appeared, he instantly drew everyone's attention.
[This person appears to be Chen Kong, the patriarch of the Chen clan, the most powerful family in the Northwest region.]
[That's right, I saw him once before. I heard he advanced from a one-star Dou Sheng to a two-star Dou Sheng this year.]
It seems we've missed out on this opportunity; even a Dou Sheng level expert has arrived.
Let's just watch the show. Do you think Chief Chen can seize this opportunity?
[It's hard to say. Previously, a semi-saint ignored warnings and, relying on his powerful protective aura, rushed in, only to be reduced to nothingness before collapsing within a single breath.]
Tens of thousands of people began to discuss and speculate whether a Dou Sheng level expert could enter the flames.
Those who knew each other and those who didn't gathered in twos and threes. Although Elder Mu Gu and the other members of the Soul Hall were not particularly strong here.
However, no one dared to underestimate them; each of them was incredibly arrogant. They had the right to be so, since they were members of the Soul Palace.

All the semi-saints saw them and had to come and greet them. Even the two-star Dou Sheng smiled at Elder Mu Gu when he arrived.
"Have you notified them? Why hasn't the main hall sent anyone over all night?" Elder Mu Gu asked anxiously as he watched Chen Kong arrive.
"We've already notified them, and they've replied, saying they'll send someone as soon as possible," a man in black nearby answered.
Elder Mugu sighed and said, "I hope this Clan Chief Chen can..."
Chen Kong looked at the Flaming Mountain with excitement in his eyes. Looking around, he saw no Dou Sheng among them, making him the strongest person here.
"Before the other Dou Sheng arrive, I need to quickly subdue this strange fire." Chen Kong was very annoyed, wondering why he hadn't come sooner.
He spent the entire night in bed with his newly seized concubine, discussing their ideals and giving orders that she should not be disturbed in any way, or she would be killed without mercy.
Finally, upon learning the news the next day, he was so enraged that he killed the Fighting King who had sent the notification.
However, still feeling very angry, he immediately killed the concubine to vent his anger, which calmed him down a bit, and then he rushed over.
Chen Kong stood in front of the Flaming Mountain, less than ten meters away from the flames.
"The energy contained in this strange fire is so powerful, yet it doesn't leak out at all. It's truly miraculous." Chen Kong carefully observed it.
"Even a half-saint couldn't hold on for a single breath, so it seems extremely dangerous for me as well."
Chen Kong learned about this from the conversations of the people below, but he would not back down, because this was his only chance.
Otherwise, once those powerful figures arrive, he, a two-star Dou Sheng, will be sidelined.
Although he didn't know why he was a whole night late, he was still the first Dou Sheng to arrive.
Chen Kong couldn't observe anything, so he prepared to try out the flame himself.
Suddenly, a blue light flashed on his wrist, and a dark blue bracelet appeared.
"Sea Spirit Bracelet, it's up to you now." Chen Kong activated the Sea Spirit Bracelet, and immediately a blue water-attribute battle aura enveloped his entire body.
The Sea Spirit Bracelet, the treasure of the Chen family, is, as its name suggests, a water-attribute magic weapon. Putting aside its other functions, the Sea Spirit Bracelet is second to none in suppressing flames.
Even though his body was protected, Chen Kong still felt uneasy, so he took out another bottle containing a light blue liquid.
The bottle contains secretions from a clam that lives in the sea, which have a strong protective effect against flames.
What's more, this was obtained from the body of a clam demon, a one-star, ninth-tier magical beast. This time, he really went all out.
In no time, he had covered his entire body with the coating, and then he used all his fighting spirit to protect his body layer by layer.
Immediately, they slowly walked towards the Flaming Mountain, which was shrouded in flames.
At the same time, those powerful figures standing in the distance or flying in the sky also held their breath and watched Chen Kong intently.
"It's alright, it'll be alright. With the Sea Spirit Bracelet, this flame won't hurt me." Chen Kong looked at the few steps left before he could cross the mountain peak junction and enter the Misty Mountain.
At that moment, for some reason, his heart started pounding. He felt even more nervous than when he first talked about his ideals with a woman in bed.
While everyone was focused on whether Chen Kong would succeed, our instigator, Lin Qing, was fast asleep.
Inside the Flaming Mountains, on a concave platform, stands a modern luxury villa.
The Three Flavors Divine Fire had no effect on the villa whatsoever, while Lin Qing was fast asleep in bed.
Lin Qing also knew that Soul Emperor or other beings with different flames would not be able to arrive in the short term.
So he slept for a few days, since no one could break through his flames anyway.
As long as you don't enter the misty mountain peaks shrouded by the Samadhi Divine Fire, there is absolutely no danger.
If you try to force your way in, then I'm sorry, even a Nine-Star Dou Sheng wouldn't last a minute. Of course, if you have a special magic weapon or a different kind of fire, that's a different story.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Chen Kong finally entered the flames. Of course, he didn't dare to rush in directly, but first tentatively put his left hand in.
"Ah!" In less than a second, Chen Kong yanked his hand out and let out a miserable scream.
Everyone was immediately shocked, and then they all stared intently at Chen Kong's still burning hand.
Chen Kong's five fingers had disappeared, leaving only a round palm with flames slowly burning inside.
The clam demon's secretions on his hand evaporated at a visible rate, and the Sea Spirit Bracelet was also full of cracks, which were still increasing.
It looks like the Samadhi Divine Fire will lose its suppression in less than thirty seconds.
Even the two-star Dou Sheng clan leader Chen couldn't withstand this flame. What kind of flame is this?
[My God, is Chief Chen really going to be burned to death like this?]
"Damn it, my hand!" Chen Kong endured the pain, looking at his hand. He felt both regret and relief.
What he regrets is why he got involved in this mess; what he's fortunate about is that he only put his hand in.
If he went in completely, then he has absolutely, absolutely been burned to nothingness.
Chen Kong pondered for a moment, gritted his teeth, and took out a sharp sword from his storage ring, looking at the Sea Spirit Bracelet which could only last for another ten seconds at most.
Without hesitation, he severed his wrist with a single sword strike, letting out a muffled groan before quickly retreating a few steps and using his battle qi to stop the bleeding from the wound.
Before the severed hand could even hit the ground, the Samadhi Divine Fire suddenly surged and instantly engulfed it, leaving only the flame swaying in the wind less than a meter above the ground.
"Hiss!" Everyone who witnessed this scene was filled with shock and horror.
"That's ruthless!" Everyone agreed that the act of cutting off one's own hand was cruel.
After all, cutting it off would only mean losing a hand, but if you don't cut it off, you'd lose the whole person.
Chen Kong, clutching his wound, was in great pain. Not only had he failed to obtain the strange fire, but he had also lost a hand, and even the treasured Sea Spirit Bracelet was almost reduced to fragments.
He was truly on the verge of tears. Looking around, he found everyone staring at him. He snorted coldly, and with a flash, he disappeared.
"They've left?" Elder Mu Gu asked in confusion.
Of course, he didn't really leave; he just hid in the shadows, because he was unwilling to just leave like that.
"I never expected this flame to be so powerful. I wonder if the Palace Master will come." Elder Mu Gu no longer dared to hope to obtain this strange flame.
After all, even a Dou Sheng has already suffered a crushing defeat, so how could a mere Dou Zun possibly hope to achieve anything?

Soul Extinction said expressionlessly, "Is the spatial wormhole still not repaired?"
"Reporting to the Palace Master, for some unknown reason, the space has been in disarray, and it will probably take another five days to stabilize." The several Dou Sheng who were repairing the spatial wormhole were all sweating profusely.
"No need to repair it, let's head straight there." After saying that, Hun Miesheng headed directly towards the Lost Soul Mountain Range.
The others followed without hesitation.
Traveling directly by road would take them a day at their speed, while the space wormhole would only take about an hour.
When Hun Miesheng received this news, he immediately led several trusted confidants to the space wormhole connecting the Northwest region.
However, it was discovered that the spatial wormhole, for some unknown reason, caused spatial disorder and rendered it unusable.
In order to get there as soon as possible, they called several Dou Sheng who were proficient in this field to repair it. They waited all night, but they still couldn't do anything. So, the group had to rely on themselves to travel.
At the same time, major powers such as the One Palace, One Tower, Two Sects, Three Valleys, and Four Directions Pavilion in Zhongzhou, along with other forces and clans, all rushed towards this place.
However, they all encountered the same problem as the Soul Palace: the spatial wormholes could not be used.
Those who are nearby can travel on their own, while those who are far away can only wait for the space wormhole to be completed.
Although a massive mountain was shrouded in strange fire, this news only attracted the attention of the forces in the Central Plains.
The transcendent forces hidden in the shadows, namely the eight ancient clans, did not send a single person. Of course, the subordinate forces were another matter.
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
"Bang!"
Lin Qing fell off the bed, and that's how she woke up.
"Huh! What's wrong?" Lin Qing yawned and stood up.
"Boom!" The entire villa shook, then calmed down.
Lin Qing immediately extended his divine sense and exclaimed with some surprise, "Eh, a strange fire?"
In the distance, a middle-aged man enveloped in black flames was looking over with a joyful expression.
"As expected, a treasure has indeed appeared. This incredibly luxurious palace was completely unharmed after being attacked twice by me."
"Perhaps the origin of this golden strange fire lies within it." Hun Miesheng was determined to obtain this golden strange fire.
According to his estimation, the power of this flame is definitely no less than the top five on the list of strange flames. You must know that what he possesses is the second-ranked Void Devouring Flame.
Even with the Void Devouring Flame's sub-flame and all the rare treasures he possessed, he could only sustain himself within the flames for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
This was his tenth attempt, and he finally found the treasure that held such a chance.
"Hmm? Although it's a different kind of fire, this isn't the original form." Lin Qing immediately noticed the abnormality.
"We can't let anyone else find out; this opportunity must belong to my Soul Palace."
