"Damn it! Am I supposed to stop here?"
Chu Feng was very reluctant because the center of this inferno might hold some kind of opportunity, and he didn't want to miss it.
"Whirr." Just as Chu Feng was worried, a layer of purple flames suddenly surrounded him from beside and circled around him, forming a terrifying flame.
It was Purple Ling. Seeing Chu Feng struggling to hold on, she took the initiative to intervene and shielded Chu Feng from the flames.
And when this layer of purple flames surrounded Chu Feng, the scorching temperature did indeed decrease somewhat, but when looking at Purple Ling, her face was pale and she was sweating profusely.
"Purple Ling, stop! In this place, you must protect yourself. You mustn't waste your strength to shield me from the flames." Seeing this, Chu Feng hurriedly stopped her.
"Miss Purple Ling, Chu Feng is right. This inferno is very deep and the journey is long. If you want to continue, it's best to conserve your strength. If Chu Feng can't hold on, then he must withdraw. After all, moving forward in such a place is very dangerous."
Jiang Hengyuan also spoke. In fact, with his strength, he could definitely have split his power to protect Chu Feng and others from these flames.
But he didn't do so because he knew that the flames were very strange. The deeper they were, the stronger they became. Even he himself couldn't guarantee whether he could reach the very end. Therefore, he naturally wouldn't waste his strength to protect others.
"Ha, Chu Feng, you've been underestimated. Let the Queen of Purple out and watch her protect you to the very end."
Etnet giggled.
And Chu Feng didn't slack off either. With a thought, he opened the boundary spirit gate. At the moment the gate opened, a massive black gas burst out from the gate and instantly enveloped Chu Feng.
This black gas not only enveloped Chu Feng but also cut off the purple flames surrounding Chu Feng. Most importantly, after this black gas appeared, Chu Feng didn't feel the scorching temperature of the flames at all.
"Ha, sorry. As long as I'm here, I guarantee that Chu Feng won't lose to any of you."
Just then, wearing a black feathered dress, Etnet also walked out playfully. She first glanced at Jiang Hengyuan and then hopped excitedly towards the depths of the flames. Wherever she went, the flames automatically retreated, as if in fear of her.
"Shura Boundary Spirit?"
Seeing Etnet, Jiang Hengyuan's eyes flashed and he was greatly surprised. Then he looked meaningfully at Chu Feng and said, "Chu Feng, my young friend, is indeed very powerful. He has made a pact with the Shura Spirit Realm."
"Thank you for your compliment, Chu Feng. I won't say much. I'll keep moving forward."
Sure enough, the flames were extremely strange. The deeper they went, the more fierce they became. In the later stages, they even acted like wild beasts, constantly transforming into fierce forms to attack people, and even emitting strange roars.
In this situation, Vice President Gao couldn't hold on any longer and had to retreat. Right after him, Purple Ling also couldn't hold on any longer. Before going a short distance, even Zhang Tianyi was unable to continue.
However, with the protection of Etnet, Chu Feng, who had the boundary spirit, was actually as relaxed as Jiang Hengyuan. Jiang Hengyuan had to look at Chu Feng with new respect because he found that Etnet was extremely powerful. Although this boundary spirit only had the of Heavenly Martial Second Level, vaguely, even he felt a sense of danger in Etnet.
As for why he looked at Chu Feng with new respect instead of just at Etnet, it was because Etnet was Chu Feng's boundary spirit. To put it simply, even if Etnet was extremely strong, she had to obey Chu Feng. This showed that Chu Feng was truly the one who was truly powerful.
"Woah!"
"Chokechokechoke"
When Chu Feng and Jiang Hengyuan entered the deepest part of the inferno, Jiang Hengyuan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and began to gasp in a heart-wrenching cough.
"Senior, are you okay?" Looking back, Chu Feng couldn't help but be startled. He was astonished to find that at this moment, Jiang Heng's face was extremely strange, his body was extremely hot, and even his breathing became extremely unstable.
"Chu Feng, I can't do it anymore. This flame is too strange. It has unknowingly entered my body. I can't continue moving forward. Otherwise, even if I'm not burned by this flame, I will explode and die."
"Now, the only one who can continue exploring the fire sea is you. But don't push yourself too hard. If you can't bear it, you must return immediately."
Jiang Heng Yuan patted Chu Feng's shoulder and looked meaningfully at the egg-shaped figure not far away before turning his head without looking back and returning to the original path.
"Shh, my cultivation is okay, but my physique is too poor."
Looking at Jiang Heng Yuan's back, the egg-shaped figure rolled her eyes disdainfully and continued moving forward.
While looking at the naughty and proud egg-shaped figure, Chu Feng merely shook his head helplessly. The egg-shaped figure was very powerful, so powerful that Chu Feng couldn't even estimate it.
Although she currently only has the cultivation of Heavenly Warrior Second Stage, her combat power is probably beyond that of Heavenly Warrior Seventh Stage Jiang Heng Yuan.
The egg-shaped figure was so terrifying. Ever since that time in the White Tiger Mountains, when the egg-shaped figure crushed Zideng with Chu Feng's body, Chu Feng already knew this.
After that, the egg-shaped figure led the way, and Chu Feng followed closely behind, finally reaching the deepest part of the fire sea.
At this moment, the flames around were overwhelming, constantly swirling and roaring. Not only would they turn into physical attacks on Chu Feng and the egg-shaped figure, but they even cut off Chu Feng's mental power, making it impossible for Chu Feng to distinguish directions.
This made Chu Feng panic. In this area full of flames, without mental power, he was like a blind person. There was a chance that he might be trapped here.
"Tap-tap-tap-tap..."
But just at this moment, Chu Feng's ears began to vibrate. Then suddenly, he cast a sharp gaze towards the side of the fire sea. Because he actually heard footsteps in that roar.
"Woohoo"
Sure enough, shortly after Chu Feng heard that footsteps, the flames suddenly retreated to the sides, forming a path. At the end of that path, a figure in a black robe was slowly approaching.
This was an elder. The elder's black hair reached his waist, and it moved automatically without wind. His aura was extremely powerful.
The most special thing was his pair of aged eyes. Although the corners of his eyes were full of dry wrinkles, his gaze was extremely terrifying, like Death itself.
He just glanced at Chu Feng, and Chu Feng couldn't help but step back a few steps. The usually calm Chu Feng now suddenly had a faster heartbeat and felt an unprecedented sense of crisis.
It was a kind of murderous aura, an extremely powerful one. This kind of aura was not something one was born with; it was something that only those who had truly killed countless lives could possess.
If we consider that the strength of a person's murderous aura can be measured by the number of people they have killed, then the number of people this old man had killed was definitely over tens of millions.
