Chapter 1422 - 1421: Earth Fire Storm

Chapter 1422: Chapter 1421: Earth Fire Storm

"It’s Earth Fire, at least a millennium-level Earth Fire!"

Seeing the few strong ones swallowed by the flames and turned to ash, the people from various families hesitated too. This level of Earth Fire has been brewing for a long time, and the fire columns ejected are compressed to a terrifying degree, even Saints can’t withstand them. If hit, one won’t die but will be gravely injured.

Originally, a distance of only twenty miles would take just a few minutes to rush across. But now, within this Barrier of Ise Shrine, everyone has lost the ability to fly, can only use Light Skill, making this twenty-mile Earth Fire region a dilemma.

If one forces through, the chances of being hit by the fire column are very high.

However, though the Earth Fire region is terrifying, it cannot stop people’s desire for the Central Shrine. After hesitating for a short moment, many silhouettes rushed out towards the ash region!

Bang bang bang!

Continuous sounds of ground cracking reverberated, and the ash region suddenly exploded with several large holes, ejecting fire columns dozens of yards high.

Quick-witted ones can dodge once or twice, but slower ones may not escape and are incinerated cleanly by the fire column.

As many groups began their actions, the Bei Chuan family’s side also grew restless. Just as Beichuan Ye hesitated, Ling Chen already reached the edge of the ash region, seemingly ready to move.

"We can’t wait any longer."

Ling Chen looked at Beichuan Ye.

"Let’s go!"

Beichuan Ye nodded. Though this Earth Fire is troublesome, they certainly can’t just stand and do nothing, waiting for other families to pass through the ash region first and reach the Central Shrine, only to regret it later.

As soon as the words fell, Ling Chen and Hong Ye made their move into the ash region.

"That kid is too impetuous."

Watching Ling Chen rush into the ash region, the Great Elder of the Bei Chuan family shook his head. Then he took out the Treasure Ship from before.

The strong ones of the Bei Chuan family entered the Treasure Ship, evidently intending to rely on it to pass through the fire column-filled ash region.

"If that kid doesn’t come with us, he’s going to have big trouble soon,"

an Elder of the Beichuan family sneered.

Ling Chen, a mere young junior, previously forced all the Saint Body Ointment, causing discontent among many strong ones in the Bei Chuan family. His continuously arrogant attitude also displeased them.

Bang bang bang!

The ground suddenly cracked open, sending fire columns soaring towards Ling Chen and Hong Ye. Although the two dodged repeatedly, they were still engulfed by a scorching fire column.

While many from the Bei Chuan family gloated, waiting for Ling Chen to be embarrassed and plead with them to enter the Treasure Ship for refuge, a water-blue glow suddenly appeared where Ling Chen and Hong Ye were engulfed, forming a protective barrier around them.

As this water-blue barrier solidified, the fierce fire columns impacting it did not cause any ripples, completely isolated, unable to harm Ling Chen at all.

"What?"

This scene shocked those waiting to see Ling Chen embarrassed.

Bang!

Two fire columns hit the Bei Chuan family’s Treasure Ship suddenly, causing it to wobble and shake.

In the ash region, there were dozens of light shadows, among them a blue, water-bubble-like barrier moving swiftly above the region. This blue bubble seemed fragile, but the scorching fire columns impacting it only caused ripples, the defense envied by many struggling to endure.

This blue bubble, formed by Ling Chen using the Water Dragon Orb, now surrounded Ling Chen and Hong Ye seated inside, appearing relaxed compared to those exhausted around them, enjoying it much more.

"The energy released by this orb is extremely pure, perfectly countering the Earth’s fire here. Where did the master acquire this Treasure?" Hong Ye smiled at the surrounding blue barrier, sensing a not-so-weak fluctuation from it.

"This belongs to my Sect, to be returned afterward."

Ling Chen remarked calmly.

Yet inside, Ling Chen felt fortunate for bringing the Water Dragon Orb, which turned out to be a major help.

Under the Water Dragon Orb’s protection, Ling Chen and Hong Ye swiftly passed through the ash region. However, just as they were about to cross it, Ling Chen’s pupils shrunk, face turning solemn. In the distorted space’s reflection, not far ahead, a dark red storm connecting heaven and earth spun terrifyingly, its overwhelming energy causing Ling Chen’s skin to shiver.

"It’s an Earth Fire Storm!"

Hong Ye’s pretty face changed dramatically, shocked at the site’s end presenting such a terrifying obstacle!

Ah! Ah!

The heart-wrenching screams repeated non-stop, even further away the same echoed, clearly many strong ones also facing the Earth Fire Storm, unable to escape, consumed with no remains.

The previous fire columns might have been evaded quickly, but the extensive Earth Fire Storm left no room for avoidance!

"Master!"

Seeing the destructive Earth Fire Storm approaching rapidly, Hong Ye’s beautiful eyes showed great worry, fearing not even a Saint could withstand such terror!

"Don’t worry,"

yet Ling Chen’s eyes remained calm as if no Earth Fire Storm existed, serene despite the situation. A sharp resolute flashed in his eyes, pressing his palm onto the Water Dragon Orb, abruptly infusing True Qi into it, causing the blue bubble to accelerate and plunge into the Earth Fire Storm.

Puff puff puff puff puff!

Fierce sounds surrounded, violent flames crashed against the bubble, distorting it to the edge of collapse, feeling apocalyptic. Hong Ye felt her ears deafened, flames everywhere, only Ling Chen’s composed figure ahead.

At such a critical moment, yet he’s still so composed?

Ling Chen’s concentration was intense, only after several minutes did he relax, a relieved smile emerging.

Seeing Ling Chen’s smile, Hong Ye relaxed, uncovering her ears, looking at the twisted space, seeing the Earth Fire Storm far behind, their escape complete. ℴℴ𝘮

Ling Chen nodded slightly, swiftly waving his sleeve to collect the Water Dragon Orb, their bodies gently landing, eyes habitually sweeping around before suddenly freezing, gaze shaken at what lay ahead.

In front stood a colossal Shrine, hundreds of feet high, a giant Stone Statue catching their eyes first, before it an immense Taiji Yin-Yang pattern, projecting profound, embracing vibes.

Cloud Monarch!

Gazing at the massive Stone Statue, a name rose in Ling Chen’s mind.
