Mortal Transformation Realm is the Divine Fire Realm. Only by igniting the Divine Fire can one wield spells and divine abilities. There is a qualitative difference in combat power between the two.
However, not everyone who enters the Divine Fire Realm immediately has the ability to wield spells and divine abilities. Usually, only mid-stage disciples with enough divine power can activate these abilities.
As for the disciples following Chu Kuang, although they had entered the Divine Fire Realm, they were still at the early stage. They did not possess the ability to wield divine abilities or spells, and were only slightly stronger than the peak disciples at the Metamorphosis Realm.
Experts like Luo Bing and Luo Ning could single-handedly defeat several such strong opponents without defeat. It was precisely because of this that they were so easily slain.
However, this does not mean that disciples at the Divine Fire Realm are weak. Once their divine power can activate spells and abilities, it is as difficult for a Mortal Transformation disciple to fight above their level.
Above the Divine Fire Realm is the even more terrifying Four Extremes Realm. As for why it's called the Four Extremes Realm, Long Chen hasn't read books on that topic and doesn't understand it yet.
He only knew that the easiest way to recognize a Four Extremes Realm expert was that they could fly through the air.
Among the group led by Chu Kuang was an elderly man flying through the air. However, this old man's face was stern, his expression unusual, as if he wore a human-skin mask, unwilling to reveal his true identity.
"This Chu Kuang is really ruthless. He even deployed elder-level experts. If we stay inside the cave, we're truly finished." Luo Ning said, still shaken.
"Long Chen, since you know he might come back, why aren't you in a hurry? You have to understand, if we're even a little late, we'll be caught." Luo Ning also looked terrified as she spoke.
After subduing the Heavenly Fire Seed, Long Chen still had the mood to chat with them and then went to find Mu Qingyun and the others. He was calm and unhurried, showing no sign of urgency.
Moreover, it seemed Long Chen had long anticipated that Chu Kuang would bring his men. The timing was too precise and extremely dangerous. If Chu Kuang had hurried even a minute, wouldn't they all have died without a grave?
Long Chen shook his head and smiled, "Since I dared to bring out the Xiaoyao Alliance, and entrusted so many lives to me, how could I not prepare a backup plan?"
I'm not like you. I'm in the next stage, but I fought my way through countless dangers. One careless move could mean total ruin, so I rarely put myself in danger.
On the way here, I set up countless obstacles. If someone passes by or a powerful beast approaches, an alarm will be triggered. After
speaking, Long Chen took out a palm-sized formation disk and sneered, "Just this alarm device cost me over twenty thousand immortal crystals."
So I know exactly when Chu Kuang left and when he brought people over. There are more than a dozen obstacles, so I know exactly how far apart they are.
I've never lived by luck. The main reason I've survived until now is because I'm afraid of death and very cautious. "
Actually, Long Chen came out this time and made quite a commotion. He was mainly worried that if Chu Kuang learned of the news, he might secretly ambush them."
After all, there were too many people in the Xiaoyao Alliance, so having Chu Kuang's informant was normal. He just hadn't expected Chu Kuang's attention to be on Luo Bing and Luo Ning, leaving no time to deal with him.
But these devices also came in handy at this moment, letting Long Chen know about Chu Kuang's movements.
After all, one end of Crescent Valley faced the academy, and Chu Kuang was in a hurry to make way. Besides, he absolutely couldn't have imagined that Long Chen would set up a trap in a hidden spot.
Hearing Long Chen's explanation, Luo Bing, Luo Ning, Mu Qingyun, Li Cai, and the others admired him even more. Long Chen's methods were incredibly powerful, with the ability to control everything.
From the flying boat, looking from afar through the formation, Chu Kuang could see several hundred people tightly surrounding the cave entrance. These hundreds were all mid-stage Divine Fire Realm experts, and some even late-stage experts. Their auras were astonishing, each entering combat mode, their bodies engulfed in flames, exuding an overwhelming presence.
Chu Kuang chattered to the surrounding powerful figures, but the flying boat's observation formation could only see images and not hear sounds. Still, it was likely telling them to be cautious and not let a fly fly fly out.
At this moment, Chu Kuang's hair was gone, his face covered in countless blood blisters, looking grotesque and terrifying. Clearly, the injuries from the heavenly fire could not heal immediately.
And even if his injuries healed, his hair wouldn't grow back immediately. Perhaps because of this, Chu Kuang hated Long Chen to the core, his eyes burning with murderous intent like fire.
After saying this, Chu Kuang and the old man led a dozen people into the cave, probably to search for Long Chen and the others.
"Let's go. If they find out we're gone, they might search everywhere. We're at risk of being discovered." Seeing the Four Extremes Realm experts leave, Luo Bing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the Four Extremes Realm experts found out, they would be finished.
"Leave?" No, it's not over yet. I'll treat you to the show. Long Chen chuckled.
Everyone was stunned, but seeing that Long Chen seemed unwilling to explain, they had no choice but to ask and quietly waited.
Luo Bing and Luo Ning exchanged a glance, both feeling a chill run down their spines. This Long Chen was terrifyingly deep, as if he was preparing another big move.
Time passed bit by bit, the entire time it takes to burn an incense stick, but there was not a single movement in the cave; everything was eerily still.
Even the disciples waiting outside the cave began to show signs of impatience. After all this time, how could nothing have happened?
"Heh heh ..."
Long Chen suddenly laughed, a somewhat sinister smile. Mu Qingyun and the others were baffled and about to ask, when suddenly there was a loud explosion, shaking the earth and mountains.
"Boom!"
At the center of Crescent Valley, where the cave was located, the cave exploded, and a red flame spanning a hundred miles shot up into the sky, soaring straight into the sky.
It was a massive pillar of lava, erupting and sending the surrounding disciples blasted away by the terrifying force. Immediately, the terrifying lava surged out in all directions like a tidal wave.
The disciples screamed in terror and rushed outward, completely unaware of what had happened. Suddenly, a volcano erupted.
"Pfft!"
A disciple was running desperately when he was struck by a meteor-like rock, shattered to dust, and the blood mist instantly burned to ashes, leaving no bones behind.
"How could this be?"
Luo Bing covered her cherry lips with her jade-like hand, her face full of shock. She looked at Long Chen, while at this moment, she stared at the disciples who were fleeing desperately but were constantly killed by rubble, laughing like an old fox who had succeeded in stealing a chicken.
The terrifying lava swallowed tens of thousands of miles of land in just a few breaths. No matter how the disciples struggled, they were ultimately swallowed by the lava.
Although they were mid-to-late stage Divine Fire Realm experts, even if devoured by lava, they would not die immediately.
However, their divine fire power was rapidly depleted by resisting the terrifying lava, and since they could not fly, they simply could not escape this boundless sea of lava.
Some disciples were engulfed in flames, running with all their might across the lava, but couldn't run dozens of miles. Their divine fire power was completely depleted, and they could only cry out as they were swallowed by the lava and turned to nothingness.
Li Cai and the others watched with fear and cold sweat, while Mu Qingyun's face showed even more compassion.
Long Chen looked at Mu Qingyun and said, "Are you feeling sorry for them?" "
