Chapter 1069: Chapter 661: Killing Someone by Borrowing a Knife! (4K)_2

The magma below was incredibly hot, transforming into pure flames, with the temperature continuously rising.

If not for refining the Star Dream Detached Fire, having its protection, Xiao Fan would have already turned to ashes.

Even so, as Xiao Fan descended thousands more feet, even the Star Dream Detached Fire struggled to withstand, and he felt the world’s force rejecting him.

This was the Earth Core of the Immortal Realm, clearly not a place ordinary people should enter.

“Is that a stone gate down there?”

Xiao Fan faintly saw a stone gate standing three hundred feet below.

Based on Xiao Fan’s experiences in the Daoist Temple, this stone gate very likely contained wonders within.

“No, the flames are turning golden, even the Star Dream Detached Fire can’t reach there.”

Xiao Fan felt his body heating up.

The golden flames three hundred feet below encircled the stone gate, making it difficult for Xiao Fan to approach.

Suddenly, the magma fires began boiling, and the ground beneath Divine Flame Mountain shook violently.

“Could the Wan family’s pursuers have clashed with the Golden Crow?”

Xiao Fan noticed the magma and flames boiling in Divine Flame Mountain and knew something unusual must have occurred. It was highly likely that those from the Wan family pursuing him had engaged in a fierce battle with the Golden Crow.

“My current cultivation level still cannot fully unleash the power of the Star Dream Detached Fire and the Creation Celestial Cauldron. Once I reach the Divine King Realm, I’ll investigate deeper.”

Xiao Fan knew he had to take advantage of the Wan family and Golden Crow’s battle to slip away. Moreover, since he couldn’t approach the stone gate for now, it was better to note its location and plan to explore it in the future.

Within the cavern, the Wan family Ancestor truly fell for the trap, chasing straight into the Golden Crow’s lair.

The Golden Crow, one of the rulers of Divine Flame Mountain, upon seeing human cultivators intrude and take away many of its Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, immediately flew into a rage and launched a frenzied attack on the Wan family group.

The Star Dream Detached Fire had disappeared, and the Golden Crow attributed this theft to the Wan family Ancestor.

Immediately, several Wan family disciples were burned to ashes by the Golden Crow’s flames.

The Wan family Ancestor was forced to summon his longsword, engaging the Greatly Accomplished God-King level Golden Crow in a fierce battle. The terrifying True Qi vibrations caused earthquakes across the Divine Flame Mountain Range.

The human cultivators in Yanxia City had no idea what had happened, scrambling to activate the City-Protecting Great Formation to avoid getting involved.

The Golden Crow, having cultivated underground in Divine Flame Mountain for ages, had no fear of the Wan family Ancestor on its home turf.

The boiling magma and flames surged, obedient to the Golden Crow’s command.

“Myriad Swords Return to Origin!”

The Wan family Ancestor transformed his Immortal Sword into tens of thousands of threads of Sword Qi, resisting the magma and flames.

The Golden Crow struck, its razor-sharp claws gripping the longsword’s blade, inexplicably making tiny cracks appear on the sword.

“This beast is ferocious, and this is its territory. We cannot fight it here; retreat immediately!”

Even the Wan family Ancestor could no longer withstand the Golden Crow’s savage attacks, leading his group to withdraw.

“Ah!!”

“Ancestor, save me!”

Several Wan family disciples failed to escape in time and were swallowed whole by the Golden Crow.

“You vile beast! If you dare oppose our Wan family, we will not spare you!”

Even the Wan family Ancestor felt his scalp tingle.

He realized he had been set up.

Xiao Fan, that scoundrel, likely lured them deliberately into the Golden Crow’s territory to use it as a blade to eliminate them.

Mr. Wan and the others were utterly flustered.

While tracking Xiao Fan earlier and delving into the depths of Divine Flame Mountain, they had not encountered the Golden Crow. Who could have anticipated that such a beast, equivalent to a human Greatly Accomplished God-King, lay dormant here!

The Wan family Ancestor’s beard was singed by the Golden Crow’s flames, leaving him in utter disarray. Only with difficulty did he guide Mr. Wan and the younger members back to a decrepit Daoist Temple.

The Golden Crow pursued them relentlessly, seemingly unwilling to let the Wan family Ancestor escape.

The Golden Crow and the Wan family Ancestor continued their battle outside the Divine Flame Mountain Range.

The Golden Crow was unimaginably terrifying, spreading its wings, causing fire to fall like golden meteors. A hundred-mile radius was engulfed by flames, turning it into a sea of fire—truly an inferno that could burn mountains and boil seas!

As frightening as the Golden Crow’s flames were, its razor-sharp claws and beak were equally fearsome, comparable to a First Grade Dao Artifact.

During the brutal battle, the Wan family Ancestor’s chest was slashed, leaving a bloody gash.

If not for the Wan family Ancestor’s years of accumulation of elixirs, he might well have perished here.

Mr. Wan and his cousins were powerless in a battle of such magnitude, forced to be sheltered inside the Ancestor’s Space Ring, helplessly witnessing the combat outside.

Suddenly, Mr. Wan noticed a figure slip out from the Daoist Temple behind them, fleeing rapidly toward the outskirts of the Divine Flame Mountain Range.

“Damn it, we fell for that scoundrel’s trick! Ancestor, he’s escaped!”

Mr. Wan cried out.

The Wan family Ancestor, while locked in mortal combat with the Golden Crow, turned toward the direction Mr. Wan indicated and indeed saw a figure escaping.

The Wan family Ancestor was almost driven mad with fury.

To think he, a man of countless years, could be outmaneuvered by a junior, trapped in mortal danger, without even glimpsing the junior’s face…

Xiao Fan fled in one breath to the outer reaches of the Divine Flame Mountain Range.

Divine Flame Mountain had already become a place of trouble.

The Wan family continued to send experts, even alarming high-level figures at the Divine King Realm—a level equivalent to the Jiang family Ancestor of Mount Taihua Sacred Land. Staying any longer risked provoking long-lived, immortal monsters, which would spell disaster.

Xiao Fan traveled for days without yet reaching Lianshan Holy Land.

He still had alchemy skills to hone in Lianshan Holy Land, and only when his master returned to Mount Taihua would he need to return to the Sacred Land.

While resting in a bamboo forest, a terrifying presence descended.

“You brat, you caused me all this suffering.”

The Wan family Ancestor suddenly appeared, blocking Xiao Fan’s path.

The Wan family Ancestor’s strength was truly formidable, managing to catch up.

However, the Ancestor looked battered, with a swollen face, soot-covered appearance, and several wounds across his chest. His injuries were severe, giving him no time to recuperate before pursuing in desperation.

His eyes burned with hatred for Xiao Fan.

To have lost face in front of the younger family members, he could not let Xiao Fan escape, or he would lose all authority when he returned to the Ancient Wan Clan.

Even though his injuries from battling the Golden Crow were critical, he was confident he could kill Xiao Fan.

The difference between Divine King Realm and Immortal Emperor Realm was as vast as heaven and earth.

Moreover, he was far beyond the mere beginning stage of Divine King.

“What’s your background? How dare you oppose my Wan family?”

Before taking action, the Wan family Ancestor demanded to clarify Xiao Fan’s origins.

If Xiao Fan came from a major force like the Heavenly Court, he couldn’t kill him outright, only give him a harsh lesson.

But if not from the Heavenly Court, no matter if Xiao Fan hailed from another Holy Land, he would ensure life became unbearable for him.

“Defeat me, and then we’ll talk.”

Xiao Fan showed no fear facing the Divine King Realm Wan family Ancestor. Instead, his blood boiled with excitement.

If the Wan family Ancestor had been at his peak, Xiao Fan wouldn’t have dared fight him, but with the Ancestor severely wounded after battling the Golden Crow, Xiao Fan now had a chance.

“You insolent child, the gap between people is greater than the gap between people and dogs. In front of me, you’re nothing but an ant…”

The Wan family Ancestor scoffed.

Couldn’t defeat the Golden Crow, but surely he wouldn’t lose to an Immortal Emperor junior?

“Dragon Elephant Extreme Fist!”

Xiao Fan launched a punch at the Wan family Ancestor, its force tearing through space.

“A foolish attempt to shake the heavens.”

The Wan family Ancestor met Xiao Fan’s fist with palm strength.

However, his expression instantly changed: “You refined the Star Dream Detached Fire!?”

Xiao Fan’s fist was enveloped in the Star Dream Detached Fire, its dreamlike, ethereal flames searing the Ancestor’s palm!

The Star Dream Detached Fire’s power rivaled the Golden Crow’s flames.

Moreover, the fire could penetrate the physical body, scorching the Three Souls and Seven Spirits—a truly formidable weapon.

Just from clashing with Xiao Fan, the Wan family Ancestor’s injuries worsened significantly.

Xiao Fan seized the opportunity to press the attack, unleashing proficient martial techniques with increasingly relentless and unstoppable ferocity.

The War Heaven Tyrant Body thrived in battle, growing stronger with each strike!

The Wan family Ancestor was overwhelmed, struggling to react and wary of the Star Dream Detached Fire, ultimately falling under Xiao Fan’s oppressive assault.

Inside the space ring, Mr. Wan and the Wan family juniors were utterly stunned.

Even after calling upon their Ancestor, how could he still fail to overpower their opponent?
