1942 The First Challenge - Fire Essence River (1/2)

The Peach Blossom She-devil looked at Qingfeng Li, saying, ”It's too dangerous in the Tomb of Sun Monarch. Even I feel the inhibition inside and my power seemed to be restrained somehow.”

Qingfeng Li nodded, saying, ”Of course. It's the place where the Sun Monarch was buried. He was the Planet Ruler and conquered the entire Crimson Fire Continent, controlling the vital energy of the whole planet. Everyone will feel suppressed here.”

Ahhh…

Suddenly, a few more screams came from the front. Some more self-cultivators were killed and cried out eerily.

Qingfeng Li frowned for he sensed the smell of blood from the front.

They walked into a tunnel at the beginning, but it turned very spacious after they passed through, looking like a boundless grassland.

The Sun Monarch Tomb was truly luxurious, with such a large space underground. It was like a small world, with actually an undulating grassland.

Qingfeng Li looked forward and found thousands of self-cultivators not far from him. They all gathered there, stopped by something.

Qingfeng Li walked forward and found it was a giant river in front of them. This river was a thousand feet wide and ran through the entire tomb without a visible end.

In this river, there was no water but red flames.

The red flames filled up the river, running through the tomb, burning like lava and blocking their way.

The screams they heard before were from some self-cultivators that were devoured by the red flames when they tried to fly through the river.

The Peach Blossom She-Devil turned stern after seeing the river, saying, ”It's not flame, but fire essence. This river is called the Fire Essence River.”

Qingfeng Li turned serious. He knew the power of fire essence because he had the Golden Flames. The fire essence was refined from flames and was more powerful and could attack others on its own will.

The river before them was completely made of fire essence and was called the Fire Essence River. It was extremely powerful and was very difficult to pass through even for masters in the spirit monarch realm.

Qingfeng Li looked over and saw Huozhu Chi had taken out an Eight-Trigrams Compass. The compass was red as the color of flames. Huozhu Chi threw the Eight-Trigrams Compass in the air and turned it into a compass thousands of feet wide.

The compass shined red talisman scripts, each one of which stood for the flame force of the heaven and earth. One would feel stung and burned once they took a look at them.

Huozhu Chi waved his hand and then jumped onto the compass, followed by hundreds of self-cultivators behind him.

The compass was a Dharma treasure in the ninth level of the monarch realm, which was extremely powerful. It flew in the air and blocked the burning fire essence.

The fire essence in the river rushed toward the compass and was all resisted by the defense force. Huozhu Chi brought his minions across the Fire Essence River a moment later.

Qingfeng Li frowned and said in a low voice, ”He is worthy to be the descendant of the Planet Ruler, taking out a Dharma treasure of the ninth level of the monarch realm this casually. No wonder they can pass through the Fire Essence River safely.”
