The Abandoned Demon Heavenly Emperor continued:

"On the day of Nine Stars in a Row, when the Dragon Vein is at its weakest. At that time, I will set down an earth-shattering magical array. This magical array is an energy array that I have painstakingly crafted in the Demon Cave for millions of years. It gathers the negative energy from millions of years of humanity. When the time comes, the energy will obscure the sky, completely isolating the sun from the outside world. A new world of the Demon Cave will envelop the earth!"

"Within this array, all Demon Cave creatures will see their power and cultivation rise several times over. Humanity will face complete defeat! The so-called elite cultivator from the Human First Territory, Tiandu Mountain's Emperor Yu, will also become a defeated opponent under my hand!"

Upon hearing this.

The four Great Demon Kings finally understood the grandeur of the Abandoned Demon Heavenly Emperor's plan.

This was to stake the entire future of the Demon Cave World, to gamble away the millions of years of stored human negative energy.

"We swear allegiance to the Heavenly Emperor unto death!"

"We swear allegiance to the Heavenly Emperor unto death!"

"We swear allegiance to the Heavenly Emperor unto death!"

The four Great Demon Kings continually declared their attitude and stance.

They were also filled with hope for the attack on human society.

...

Meanwhile.

Fang Yu left Yanjing.

As he instantaneously moved through the air at lightning speed,

he suddenly sensed an alternating hot and cold energy forming.

"Is something happening in Jiangzhou?" Fang Yu frowned.

Before leaving, he had set a large array in the Jiangzhou mansion.

An energy that could cause such a fluctuation in the array must be very significant.

An energy capable of posing a threat!

"Wenjun... wait for me!"

Fang Yu deployed the Heavenly Master Realm's instantaneous movement.

His figure vanished into space without a trace.

...

Several minutes later.

Jiangzhou.

Outside the Fang Mansion.

Fang Yu's figure suddenly appeared.

Originally, returning from the Emperor City required half an hour, but now he had forcibly shortened it to merely a few minutes.

Of course, the Primordial Qi also consumed at least a tenth.

In modern society, even taking the high-speed rail from Yanjing to Jiangzhou takes five hours, not to mention the time for boarding and alighting.

But Fang Yu only needed a few minutes.

This shows the terrifying nature of the Heavenly Master Realm.

"The large array has been destroyed?"

Fang Yu felt incredulous.

Immediately, he strode inside.

Just as Fang Yu was walking in,

a silhouette ran out.

That stunning figure, complementing her exquisite physique.

Xu Sisi?

Xu Sisi looked up and saw Fang Yu at the courtyard gate, immediately overjoyed, and said: "Mr. Fang, you've returned! Quick... quick..."

She swallowed, her breathing somewhat anxious.

"Don't rush, speak slowly, what exactly happened." Fang Yu's breath was calm, even though he sensed something significant had occurred, he remained composed.

Xu Sisi said:

"Sister Wenjun, Sister Wenjun seems to have encountered an incident!"

As expected, it was Ye Wenjun.

"Where is everyone else?"

"They're all inside, none of them can approach Sister Wenjun!"

"Come with me."

Shush.

The two swiftly headed towards the inner hall.

Winding their way to the backyard.

Everyone was present.

Bai Yu Xian Yao, Xu Zhaopei, Shangguan Linghui, and others stood in the courtyard, anxious.

The moment Fang Yu stepped into the backyard, he witnessed an astonishing scene.

He saw Ye Wenjun floating in mid-air.

Enveloped in red flames, like blazing fire, consuming her body continuously.

The flames seemed like some special energy.

They kept surging, wave after wave.

It wasn't a large scene, it was just fire!

"Mr. Fang!"

"Mr. Fang!"

Everyone saw Fang Yu's return, revealing joyous expressions.

Fang Yu's gaze swept over Ye Wenjun in mid-air.

He said loudly: "All of you, hold the four directions. Jiangzhou's such large energy fluctuation will surely attract the attention of the cultivators. This energy is a gigantic treasure!"

"Yes!"

They only then realized the severity of the situation.

Xu Zhaopei came up and said: "I don't know why Wenjun became like this, she was fine yesterday, but this afternoon suddenly became like this, what exactly happened?"

"It requires further observation! Don't approach!" Fang Yu said.

"Okay."

Fang Yu attempted to approach the flame energy.

That energy was too bizarre.

Fang Yu clearly blocked the outside with an energy protective shield, even his body turned into a virtual state.

Yet somehow, the flames seemed target-locked and could still burn him.

"True Fire?"

"What True Fire?"

"The memory of the spiritual body says that there are many kinds of flames in the universe. True Fire is the extremely high-class energy among them. Even if turned into a spiritual body, it can still burn the spiritual body!"

"Spiritual body?"

"You can understand it as a soul."

Upon hearing this.

Xu Zhaopei felt her head was going to explode, better not to dwell on this kind of thing.

She simply waved her hand and said: "Isn't your cultivation very high? Don't tell me you can't solve this either!"

"Of course, it can be solved, but it will require substantial Primordial Qi energy to counteract! If I'm not mistaken, Wenjun should have broken through and condensed her new Divine Artifact."

Divine Artifact?

Breakthrough?

Xu Zhaopei became even more clueless, hurriedly retreated several steps, and let the expert handle it.

Fang Yu's gaze fell on Ye Wenjun floating in mid-air.

Ye Wenjun's expression looked somewhat pained.

If Fang Yu was anxious before, now he was not anxious at all.

Because he understood why.

Ye Wenjun had broken through!

This flame did not come from her but from—the Fire Phoenix.

The Fire Phoenix, having advanced to the Divine Artifact stage, like a Divine Dragon, could breathe True Fire.

To approach Ye Wenjun, either kill the Fire Phoenix or let the Fire Phoenix know you are not the enemy.

Therefore, Fang Yu said with a smile:

"Fire Phoenix, I am your master's husband, in other words, I am your male master, don't be so fiery, retract your energy, let me see how your master is!"

Screech—

A cry.

The flames suddenly surged.

Whoosh!

The flames roared up.

"Geez—"

Fang Yu took several steps back.

The flames nearly burned down the entire mansion.

Fortunately, Fang Yu's cultivation was powerful, and the Desolate Divine Sense had long covered the mansion, preventing any energy from escaping.

No matter how strong the Fire Phoenix was, it could only operate within his realm of consciousness.

"Really doesn't appreciate kindness, looks like I'll have to use force!" Fang Yu said.

His hands moved.

Hand seals changed.

"What is that?" Xu Zhaopei saw Fang Yu looking like a Taoist, constantly urging something.

Fang Yu laughed: "Great Restriction Technique!"

Indeed.

Layers of energy magic patterns suddenly spread across the sky like ice and snow.

"Seal!"

An extremely cold breath approached the Fire Phoenix, like frozen heaven and earth.

Fang Yu felt more relaxed, at least he knew Ye Wenjun was not in danger now, but the Fire Phoenix, now a Divine Artifact, was tricky—

Not that Fang Yu couldn't handle it. If it belonged to someone else, a single move to eliminate it would not be impossible.

But killing the Divine Artifact would waste Ye Wenjun's painstaking cultivation.

Plus, the Fire Phoenix possesses the Nirvana Rebirth Technique.

Sealing it is the best option.
