Chapter 364: Burning Heaven? Protecting Heaven

As the ripples swept across his body, Lin Changqiang clearly felt that the space around him began to reject him, and Ling Qingzhu beside him also frowned slightly.

The next moment, the two felt their vision go dark and they were thrown out by the repulsive force. When the light returned, what they saw was no longer a world filled with fog, but a group of red mountains that looked like a sea of ​​fire. Above the mountains, a huge cauldron that covered the sky for hundreds of feet stood firmly.

Lin Changqiang looked up.

The cauldron was red all over, with blazing flames carved on its surface. Except that it was countless times larger, its appearance was no different from the small cauldron he had purchased before. Waves of blazing heat continuously emanated from it, as if it was going to burn the entire sky to ashes.

Not far away, Yuan Cang and the other two looked around in shock and fear, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the black aura was gone.

Immediately afterwards, the space nearby began to tremble, and figures appeared one after another. They looked at each other, but soon it became noisy. Some people had bloodstains on their bodies, and it seemed that they had not had an easy time in the formation just now.

"Senior sister!"

Suddenly, a surprised voice was heard among the crowd. Ling Qingzhu turned her head and saw dozens of disciples of Jiutian Taiqing Palace, led by Wu Qun, flying from all directions.

"Is everything okay?"

She asked hurriedly, but her eyes froze suddenly when she swept across the crowd. Wu Qun beside her had a sad look on his face and shook his head.

"A few people are missing. This Burning Heaven Ancient Treasure is too strange. I'm afraid they have already..."

The sky was in chaos at this time. People from all forces gathered together without stopping and counted their manpower. Only Lin Changqiang was still motionless. Ling Qingzhu looked at him with a complicated expression, regretting not letting other disciples stay in the outside world. But who could have thought that there was no treasure in the ancient collection, only a sealing formation?
Lin Changqiang didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the two because his attention was completely attracted elsewhere.

Ling Qingzhu followed the direction of his gaze.

It was the most majestic of the mountains, with magma flowing from top to bottom, undoubtedly an active volcano, but what was even more eye-catching was the figure sitting cross-legged in the magma pool.

The figure was extremely skinny, wearing a dark red robe. He looked like a withered corpse, but if one sensed it carefully, one could find that there was still a trace of life left in him.

"Is this dead or alive?"

Wu Qun was stunned, while Lin Changqiang sighed, with compassion and respect in his eyes.

"Strictly speaking, they are no different from the living dead, with only a few last bits of intelligence and vitality left."

Boom!Boom!Boom!
As everyone was gathering, the giant tripod in the sky was making continuous rumbling sounds, and soon after, shrill laughter was heard.

"You think you can trap me with this broken tripod?"

After several increasingly shocking collisions, a huge black gas finally spread out from it, and a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere swept across the mountains. There were also scarlet spots that were looming in it, which was chilling.

"So many ants?"

The black shadow snorted disdainfully, and a scarlet light swept across the figures in the sky. The next moment, countless black beams of light suddenly shot out, like a rain of pear blossoms, and attacked all the people below.

Fear instantly emerged on everyone's face. None of them could figure out the black shadow's cultivation level. The disciples from the major super sects were even more horrified, because the terrifying power emanating from that black beam was infinitely higher than that of almost all the seniors in the sect!
How to stop this?!

The whole sky suddenly became chaotic, some people fled, some people blocked, but when no one expected it, a figure suddenly broke away from the crowd and flew upwards. It was...

"Lin Changqiang?" Everyone stared at the sky in astonishment, but their movements did not change at all. This was normal. Although they did not understand why Lin Changqiang would step forward to help strangers like them, could an Eight Element Nirvana, no matter how strong he was, be able to withstand such a terrifying and exaggerated attack?
Lin Changqiang himself didn't believe it.

Looking at the black rain falling from above his head, he stretched out his hand and an ancient yellow stone tablet appeared in front of him, swelled in the wind.

"The Great Desolate Monument?"

Two voices sounded almost at the same time, the former was frightened, the latter was dazed and hoarse, and when the dazed voice was heard, the originally swirling black fog suddenly froze.

"Old ghost Fentian!"

The black shadow screamed ferociously word by word. The hatred that had been sealed for countless years was so accumulated that even the fear of the Great Desolate Monument was suppressed a lot.

At the same time, the figure sitting cross-legged in the magma finally opened his eyes, disappeared from the spot in an instant, and appeared in front of the Great Desolation Monument again. He stretched out his hand and waved, and a huge red palm covering the sky and the sun rushed up into the sky, not only easily extinguishing all the rainstorms, but even slammed into the black fog without stopping, causing it to let out a muffled groan.

“It’s actually alive?”

Many people had cold sweat on their palms. They wanted to escape but didn't know where to go. The red-robed man's gaze stayed on Lin Changqiang, as if he was thinking about something. His dry lips moved but no sound came out.

Lin Changqiang didn't care about the eyes around him. He just bowed slightly to the other party, then took out something from his backpack and handed it forward. It was the light card he got from the small tripod.

"Senior, return the item to its original owner."

The man in red robe came to his senses and was immediately surprised when he saw the light sign. He looked at Lin Changqiang with more and more satisfaction. However, the black shadow in the sky suddenly screamed and flew away as fast as an arrow.

"You actually got the missing gate."

The man in red robe seemed not to notice the movement of the black shadow. He looked at Lin Changqiang deeply, but then he waved his sleeves lightly, and the huge cauldron hanging in the sky roared down. Countless terrifying pillars of fire that reached the sky and the earth blasted out from the cauldron, directly turning into a vast magic circle that enveloped the black fog.

Seeing that the way was blocked and there was no hope of escape, the scarlet light in the black fog suddenly flickered, obviously sensing the fatal crisis. Then the monstrous black air exploded like a black lotus, and the cold and evil waves spread wildly from it, which was extremely creepy.

boom!
The fire array and the black gas finally collided fiercely, and the whole world seemed to tremble. The flames and black light flew like fireworks, and several surrounding mountains were razed to the ground as soon as they came into contact. The horrifying destructive power made everyone secretly gasp in amazement, and they were just glad that they were not pierced by the black beam of light.

The red-robed man's expression did not change, and red light surged in his sunken eye sockets. As soon as he thought about it, eight extremely bright red lights emerged from the cauldron and finally turned into eight light plates, which fell on the eight largest active volcanoes in the surroundings, causing the volcanoes to erupt instantly. Countless hot magma condensed into eight huge doors, reaching into the sky.

"Everyone, leave immediately."

Magma was flying all over the sky, forming a terrifying formation. The air around them became scorching hot. Some people even felt as if their bodies were on fire. The hoarse voice of the man in red robe was also heard.

As his voice fell, the space around them suddenly squirmed, obviously trying to condense a space gate to allow everyone to leave. Except for Yuan Cang and the other two, the other disciples in the Yuan Sect were all staring at their surroundings anxiously, wanting to leave quickly. But at this moment, a familiar voice sounded in the distance like a nightmare.

"Senior, it was those three who released the alien demon general. Almost all the top leaders of their sect are involved with the alien demons."

As he finished speaking, the red-robed figure cast his gaze towards him, his eyes showing murderous intent. Everyone in Yuan Sect felt like they were dreaming...
