CHAPTER 1814: CHAPTER 671: FIERCE BATTLE WITH NASCENT SOUL, SHATTERING MOUNTAINS AND SPLITTING EARTH_3

"No, I can’t keep fighting him here!"

"My domain is suppressed by the Blazing Refinement Prison, and my Qi power is being depleted. Yet, my physique is not as strong as his."

"Especially with that presence lurking in the shadows, it makes me feel like a thorn is on my back!"

Taking a deep breath, Jiao Emperor Liu Jun withstood Luo Chen’s attack with the swing of his robe before using the momentum to retreat rapidly into the sky.

Witnessing this scene, Luo Chen’s killing intent surged.

He glanced at the magma lake below and then leapt into the sky without hesitation, in hot pursuit.

As he soared out of the magma lake and entered the sky, Luo Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted.

In his line of sight, Jiao Emperor Liu Jun hadn’t fled.

He simply stood in the heights, holding an oil lamp in his hand.

A cerulean oil lamp!

A drop of liquid, resembling both blood and oil, trickled from Jiao Emperor Liu Jun’s fingertip, landing on the oil lamp.

"Did you really think I would be cornered here so easily?"

"I survived the Demon War, what do I have to fear from mere water and fire?"

The prior suppression and embarrassment caused Jiao Emperor Liu Jun to laugh in anger.

Hiss!

A tiny blue flame suddenly appeared atop the oil lamp.

With a gentle blow, the blue flame drifted leisurely toward Luo Chen.

Danger!

An extreme sense of danger erupted wildly in his mind.

Without a second thought, Luo Chen fled into the distance.

However, though the flame appeared to fly slowly, its speed was extraordinarily fast.

Even with Luo Chen’s Fourth-Order Primordial True Body and his perfect speed of ninety-thousand miles, he inexplicably couldn’t shake off the bizarre flame.

When Luo Chen was finally forced to halt atop a towering mountain, the flame surfaced before him.

With a fierce visage, he extended his left hand toward the flame.

His hand, imbued with the Prosperity and Decline True Fire, fearlessly reached for the blue flame.

Nearby, Jiao Emperor Liu Jun watched this scene and smirked coldly.

"Foolhardy!"

Sure enough, the next moment, the giant’s left arm made contact with the flame.

One azure, one blue, two rays of light fiercely contended, neither giving an inch!

Jiao Emperor Liu Jun was again taken aback; how did this young man come to possess such a miraculous flame?

But, it’s still insufficient!

As expected.

Amidst the contest of azure and blue, the breakthrough happened on the "battlefield."

The former was strong, the latter’s light weak.

Yet, when the blue light touched flesh, it suddenly surged, overpowering the azure flame.

"In the North Sea, there are Jiaoren, beautiful and skilled in song. Divine silk comes from their hands, tears sparkle like the bright moon. Their blood prolongs life, and their oil burns for millennia..."

Since he slew a Late Phase Third-Order Jiaoren in the Oblivion Sea and witnessed Jiao Emperor Liu Jun’s appearance, Luo Chen had gathered much information about this race.

At this moment, these facts vividly surfaced in his mind.

He gazed at his left hand, watching as the vibrant life force in his body was consumed by the blue flame, and he fell silent.

Clearly, this was the peculiar flame birthed from a Nascent Soul True Master using their own lipid as lamp oil to light an oil lamp akin to a True Device.

His current means, even with the Prosperity and Decline True Fire not yet fully mastered, couldn’t resist it.

If this continued, even with a physique comparable to a Fourth-order Wild Beast, he would likely be burnt to ashes.

Regrettably, time was not on his side; otherwise, he could sever it with the Slaying Dragon Technique.

Decisiveness is crucial; hesitation leads to detriment.

In silence, Luo Chen formed a sword gesture with his right hand, a flash of blood light scattering forth.

Crack!

The left hand fell in response.

Jiao Emperor Liu Jun, just ten feet away, was momentarily stunned by the sight.

He had assumed the opponent would hold out longer, relying on that miraculous azure flame.

Unexpectedly, his resolve was so decisive!

At this moment, Luo Chen raised his head, a pair of cold eyes fixing on him.

Jiao Emperor Liu Jun frowned, "What more can you do? My clan’s True Device summoned Demon Fire, meant to suppress fervent life force of wild beasts, now your physique is restricted, and you’re no longer benefiting from home turf..."

Luo Chen smiled chillingly, then formed a seal gesture with his right hand before striking forth with a palm.

Not at Jiao Emperor Liu Jun.

But at the mountain beneath him.

"Mountain Collapse!"

A low growl echoed through the wilderness.

In the next moment, under Jiao Emperor Liu Jun’s confused gaze, the mountain shattered.

The powerful explosion’s aftermath forced both to be blown back.

"Trying to run?"

In the explosion’s aftermath, Liu Jun’s expression was icy. This man cornered him to this extent; he wouldn’t let him escape.

He stepped forward, prepared to pursue Luo Chen.

At that moment.

From within the shattered mountain, a shrill scream resounded.

A silver serpent, in a fury, charged out.

With just one glance, Jiao Emperor Liu Jun recognized the essence of the silver serpent.

"Fire Spirit!"

Luo Chen smirked coldly, opened his mouth, and a azure flame wafted out, transforming into a Fire Tree in the void.

"Go, kill him!"

The Fire Tree swayed, racing toward Jiao Emperor Liu Jun.

And sensing a similar motion, the silver serpent targeted Jiao Emperor Liu Jun as well.

Seeing the two at least Fourth Order Fire Spirits rushing toward him.

Jiao Emperor Liu Jun panicked!

Luo Chen’s eyes glinted with a fierce light, his gaze sweeping around, filled with murderous intent.

Moving, he rushed toward another erupting volcano.

"Not enough!"

"Still not enough!"

"I want him to die within the Blazing Refinement Prison!"
