CHAPTER 1811: CHAPTER 670: FIRST COME, FIRST SERVED, JIAO EMPEROR LIU JUN_2

Luo Chen was stunned.

Thinking carefully, it seemed indeed so.

Originally, his goal in entering the Land of Fallen Demons was solely the Five Elements Lotus Stand.

Yet after absorbing the first Sourceless Fire, he became indifferent to the Five Elements Lotus Stand that was within reach, and instead went on a spree collecting other Sourceless Fires.

Not only that, he became increasingly domineering towards Tai Sui and Moyun Cave Lord.

Even when Han Zhan previously reminded him, he felt impatient, and his words were often in opposition.

Suddenly, Luo Chen’s whole body trembled.

"Has the Fire Spirit changed my mindset?"

"Not changed, but influenced!" Han Zhan corrected.

Luo Chen took a deep breath, already understanding the other party’s meaning.

The path of cultivation is vast and long, filled with many remarkable skills and secret techniques, elixirs and secret arts that have the power to influence or even change an immortal cultivator.

For example, previously, he recklessly consumed True Flame Pills in cultivation, leaving pill poison residue, which caused a change in his complexion.

And even earlier, refining the Prosperity and Decline True Fire led to the disappearance of his vitality, resulting in snow-white hair.

This time, however, it was the continual expansion of the Prosperity and Decline True Fire that impacted his usual calm and composed mindset.

"Those who cultivate Fire Type skills mostly end up like this, irritable and extreme, domineering and uncompromising. Your style over the years has been gravitating towards this, and I have refrained from commenting, letting it evolve naturally."

"But this time it’s greatly different!"

"In the Land of Fallen Demons, a single misstep could lead to falling. If your mindset changes drastically, rushing forward recklessly will not only prevent you from unleashing your full power but also could easily drag us both into danger."

These words were delivered gently.

Like spring rain, softly falling upon Luo Chen’s heart, making his mind increasingly serene.

Luo Chen lightly exhaled a breath of Turbid Qi and once again rode the clouds and mist, soaring into the sky.

As he moved again, he softly said, "Thank you, senior."

Han Zhan smiled slightly, saying nothing more.

...

Arrived!

Luo Chen’s footsteps stopped at the foot of Vermilion Bird Mountain.

Tai Sui and Moyun Cave Lord quietly appeared, standing by his sides.

"Why not go directly up the mountain?"

While speaking, his gaze fell upon a peak where a figure sat cross-legged, trembling as if about to fall.

"Dao Lan? Is it because of him?"

Tai Sui shook his head, "Not just him, there are also two Demon Kings and another unknown presence."

Luo Chen raised his eyebrows and whispered, "Wait a moment, let me see what they are doing!"

Tai Sui and Moyun Cave Lord looked at Luo Chen in surprise.

Even they, with higher realms, couldn’t detect the other’s actions. Could Luo Chen, only at the sixth layer of Golden Core, manage?

Divine Consciousness Voice Transmission.

"Senior, I need your assistance."

"It’s a minor matter!"

Han Zhan smiled slightly, and his divine consciousness swept out.

The divine consciousness of a Nascent Soul True Master, especially one skilled in Spirit Refining Techniques, seeped quietly into the surroundings, with Dao Lan and the other two entirely unaware.

Han Zhan’s divine consciousness swept through the air and then followed the array’s structure formed by the three, tracing the Qi Power convergence upstream.

Gradually...

Deep within Vermilion Bird Mountain, in a Magma Lake, Han Zhan saw a figure sitting on a lotus platform, with rippling breath.

Just at that moment, the figure’s eyelid flickered, as if about to open.

Han Zhan quickly withdrew his divine consciousness.

The immense divine consciousness surged back like a tide.

Without hesitation, Han Zhan shouted softly, "Luo Chen, enter Vermilion Bird Mountain immediately; someone has beaten us to it!"

With just one sentence, Luo Chen’s face drastically changed.

Now was not the time to act calmly, even though previously advised; urgency prevailed!

He swiftly raised his head and called out, "Someone has beaten us to it, attempting to refine the Five Elements Lotus Stand, let’s move!"

Tai Sui and others were dumbfounded, not having time to inquire how Luo Chen detected the specific situation, only to see him charging straight into the sky.

Moreover, Luo Chen’s transmission followed promptly.

"One person, two demons, we each take on one!"

"Tai Sui, you deal with the King Squid, Cave Lord, you block Dao Lan, I’ll handle the Savage Beast Seizing Sea Golden Toad!"

Tai Sui’s eyes lit up, King Squid?

Perfect for him!

Moyun Cave Lord hesitated; he wasn’t Dao Lan’s match!

But with the most formidable Savage Beast Seizing Sea Golden Toad taken on by Luo Chen, how could he hold back?

"Rest assured, they’ve maintained the array for days, their Qi Power is nearly depleted!"

Luo Chen advised, then dashed toward the peak where the Seizing Sea Golden Toad resided.

Just as he said, the three people on the mountaintop are in an extremely poor state at the moment.

Even in a meditative posture, they sway back and forth, resembling a candle flickering in the wind.

One can imagine how much power they can exert at this moment.

In mid-air, behind Luo Chen, with a swish, the Breaking Moon Wings have already appeared.

Whoosh!

With a few flickers, he arrives in front of the Seizing Sea Golden Toad.

The ten-feet-long Golden Toad let out a low croak, seemingly threatening Luo Chen.

However, Luo Chen completely ignores it and directly activates the Sky Explosion Step, stepping across its position.

The Seizing Sea Golden Toad escapes the array and is about to rise to the sky to intercept Luo Chen.

But in the next moment.

Boom!

Boom!

Two giant figures block its path.

One is the Black Scaled Jiao Python, coiled and peering forward, hissing with its tongue, its vertical eyes full of ferocity.

The other is the Green Feathered Fighting Gull, vibrating its wings, holding a giant Banana Fan. With a few flaps, it breaks through the fierce air here, defining the battlefield.

Tian Xuan said coldly, "Halt, your opponent is us!"

"Quack!"

The Seizing Sea Golden Toad doesn’t understand what they are saying. It only knows it cannot let anyone disturb the master’s grand affair, it must stop the man flying into the depths of Vermilion Bird Mountain.

But with two demons blocking the way, how can it easily move?

A great battle erupts in an environment most unsuited for the three demons!

Meanwhile, on two other mountaintops.

Dao Lan slowly stood up, looking at the Moyun Cave Lord with a cautious face.

"Cave Lord, long time no see."

"Indeed, how did you end up in this situation?"

Dao Lan showed a wry smile, "Standing by the river often enough, there are bound to be wet shoes. I was hunting geese all day, only to be pecked by the geese instead."

The Moyun Cave Lord shook his head, his gaze falling on the giant broad sword in Dao Lan’s hand, "It’s a pity for this Gold Ni-Dao, my most proud offense magic item in the first half of my life, now dimmed and dusty."

Dao Lan’s natal magic item, the Gold Ni-Dao, was custom-made by the Moyun Cave Lord using the magic knife refining method passed down from the Yuan Mo Sect.

When the sword was forged, it was of lower grade, but had deep foundations!

Because it was extremely compatible with its owner, after years of slaying demons and honing, it has already ascended to the ascendant grade, and is undoubtedly a famous magic knife in today’s North Sea Cultivation World.

Hearing the words ’dimmed and dusty’, Dao Lan’s face showed an expression of shame.

But immediately, he said solemnly, "Now, each serves their master, what Dao Lan does is not of his own volition, I hope the Cave Lord can forgive."

The broad sword was raised high, evil qi surged.

"Be careful, the next strike will be very strong!"

The Moyun Cave Lord took a deep breath, countless precious lights flashed beside him.

He could see that Dao Lan’s qi power was exhausted, in an extremely poor state, intending to focus all his energy on one strike.

And this strike will undoubtedly be earth-shattering.

If it can’t be blocked, he will die.

If blocked, then everything is negotiable!

On another peak of Vermilion Bird Mountain.

With a smile, Tai Sui walked towards the slowly rising King Squid, seemingly unconcerned about those massive tentacles.

However, part of his gaze was still following the direction Luo Chen went.

"If I’m not mistaken, the presence hidden within Vermilion Bird Mountain should be a Nascent Soul level powerhouse. Can Demon King Qingyang handle it?"

In his heart, there was a deep concern.

But until Luo Chen left, he hadn’t said a word to hold him back.

Because he knew very well that Luo Chen was determined to obtain the Five Elements Lotus Stand, and would never allow others to get there first!

...

Whoosh!

The Glint suddenly halted, landing above the Magma Lake.

"Is it in there?"

Luo Chen murmured, and received an accurate response from the wooden plaque on his chest.

The next moment, Luo Chen slowly reached out, and a giant claw breaking through the sky emerged with a rumble.

"Come out for me!"

The Cloud Probing Divine Claw plunged straight into the lake, churning the scalding waves, separating the flames.

Until reaching a thousand feet, a layer of azure light curtain slowly emerged, resiliently blocking this giant claw.

Separated by a thousand feet, two pairs of eyes met fiercely.

"It’s you!"

"Jiao Emperor Liu Jun!"
