Peerless War God

Chen Xiao turned around and looked at the people from the Sky Fire Dao Sect one last time. Then, he completely gave up on the idea of fighting for the Fire Spirit Fruit.    

In front of the Five Tribulations Longevity Stage experts of the Sky Fire Dao Sect, snatching food from the tiger's mouth was no different than seeking death.    

At this time, he had also completely calmed down.    

"Let's go, don't think about it anymore."    

"That's right."    

Immediately, one man and one dog quickly fled far away from this place of no return. They did not want to suffer an undeserved calamity.    

In the air, Chen Xiao sped forward, continuing to enter the Extreme Earth Flame Valley.    

Not long after, he arrived at a place less than fifty kilometers away from the core area. Then, he stopped.    

He wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "This is the limit. It's too hot."    

"Woof."    

Hei Zi was excitedly wagging its tail at the side. It was as if a fish had returned to the water, and it was quite comfortable.    

Xiluo smiled and said, "See, you're not even as good as a dog. It hasn't even called yet."    

Chen Xiao was stunned and laughed out loud. He said, "It's a Hellhound. I'm a human, so I naturally can't stand this heat. I don't know how this Extreme Earth Flame Valley was formed. How did such a shocking flame aura come about?"    

"I don't know. However, it is greatly beneficial to cultivating the Ghost Flame."    

Xiluo replied.    

Chen Xiao nodded. "That's right. I can feel the Ghost Flame is restless. If it wasn't for the Ghost Flame protecting me, I wouldn't have dared to go so deep into this place."    

As he spoke, he swept his Divine Sense across the area and discovered a few other cultivators cultivating in the distance.    

Flames surged, forming a flaming domain that isolated the area from the outside world.    

There were even more array formations protecting it, making it seem very cautious.    

From time to time, there would be intense fighting sounds coming from even further away, mixed with the miserable wails of cultivators.    

It seemed like someone was fighting for the Fire Spirit Fruit, not hesitating to put their lives on the line to obtain the treasure and soar to the heavens.    

It was true that the two paths were different, and they did not have the same goal.    

Some people chose to fight for the Fire Spirit Fruit, risking their lives to gamble for the treasure in order to soar to the heavens, while others chose to steadily advance, borrowing the aura of the flames here to increase their cultivation, not in a hurry to achieve success.    

The two paths were different, and there was no right or wrong, only different choices.    

Chen Xiao sighed in his heart for a moment before starting to set up the formation.    

"I'll set up a defensive formation here first."    

Numerous array flags flew out and stabbed into the ground. Following Chen Xiao's hand seals, they entered the ground, and a Heaven Imprisoning Killing Formation with the power of flames rose up from the ground.    

After that, in order to prevent any disturbances, he also set up an isolation barrier in the array.    

The grand array was embedded with a small array, and it was connected to both inside and outside, perfectly fusing together. Its power was even higher.    

After he finished setting up the formation, Chen Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. "That's good, this is safe."    

A black lotus appeared in his palm, burning with a sinister flame. A chilling aura spread out, making people feel as if their souls were about to be ignited.    

This was the Green Flame Ghost Fire. After he fused with it, it became even more sinister and terrifying, and its power was extraordinary.    

Coincidentally, this Earth Flame Absolute Valley was filled with an inexhaustible flame aura, which was perfect for cultivating the Ghost Fire Technique.    

In the blink of an eye, the Green Flame Ghost Fire had grown a bit stronger, and the flame was burning even more fiercely.    

Chen Xiao was also surprised when he saw it, "Tsk, this dense flame aura can actually help the Ghost Fire grow so quickly even without taking the initiative to absorb it. This place is really the right place."    

"Ghost Fire is a divine ability of the ancient Gods, and it has unfathomable power. If you want to cultivate it to the Great Perfection, it will be extremely difficult to do so. However, with the help of this place, you can greatly speed up your cultivation."    

Xilo said with a smile.    

Chen Xiao was also ecstatic. Although he mainly cultivated the Dao of Fire, this Ghost Fire was extremely important to him.    

If he could increase the power of the Ghost Fire, it would be greatly beneficial to him.    

He nodded and said, "Very good, then I'll cultivate with all my strength."    

"En."    

Immediately, he focused his attention on the Ghost Fire and activated the black lotus to slowly rotate, continuously absorbing the flame aura in the air to strengthen himself.    

At the same time, Hei Zi, who was beside him, also lay on the ground, raising his head and swallowing the flame aura. There were even more flame runes flashing on his body, emitting a shocking aura.    

"As expected of a Hellhound, as an ancient beast, its potential is astonishing."    

When Xilo saw this, he clicked his tongue in wonder.    

Just like that, Chen Xiao focused on cultivating, without any distractions. The black lotus crazily absorbed the flame Qi.    

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.    

On this day, Chen Xiao opened his eyes. His eyes were bright as he stared at the black lotus in front of him. It rose and fell, burning with a sinister flame.    

In the surrounding space, the endless flame Qi gathered into a flame tide, surging over and pouring into the black lotus, helping it to grow stronger.    

"Break for me."    

Suddenly, Chen Xiao shouted.    

With a crack, a crack appeared on the black lotus. Then, a second one, a third one... It quickly expanded until the black lotus completely collapsed.    

In this way, the shape of the black lotus was no longer there. Instead, it became a pitch-black mass. However, the terrifying power contained within it was even stronger, causing people to be extremely shocked.    

"This is?"    

In the soul sea, Xilo was chewing on a green fruit and his mouth was wide open as he exclaimed in shock.    

Chen Xiao smiled, "The fusion of the Ghost Fire and the Green Flame Immortal Fire was not complete before, but now, the two have completely fused together, becoming a true Ghost Fire. Its power has increased greatly."    

Xilo nodded. "I can feel that the explosive mana contained within this ball of flame is comparable to that of a Three Tribulations Longevity Realm cultivator with just one strike of the Ghost Fire."    

Chen Xiao was ecstatic. "That's right. It's all thanks to this Earthflame Absolute Valley. This excellent cultivation treasure ground has helped me further refine and fuse with the Ghost Fire. Now, the Ghost Fire's power is several times stronger than before. Haha."    

"That's right, continue to work hard. Right now, it's only the eighteenth year, and there's still enough time."    

Xiao said again.    

Chen Xiao calculated in his heart, and he immediately knew what to do.    

"Continue to cultivate the Ghost Fire Technique."    

He immediately calmed down and closed his eyes to cultivate bitterly. His ears did not hear anything outside, and he wholeheartedly focused on cultivating the Ghost Fire Great Dao to increase his own strength.    

Very quickly, another five years passed.    

On this day, Chen Xiao slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Ghost Fire in front of him with a strange expression.    

After the Ghost Fire completely merged with the Green Flame Immortal Fire, it turned into a ball of chaos. It was cold and gloomy, and it also had the power to burn souls.    

Moreover, the Ghost Fire's form had also changed. It was no longer a ball, but a terrifying ghost face.    

If one looked carefully, this ghost face looked a bit similar to Chen Xiao's own appearance.    

He stared at the ghost face formed by the Ghost Fire and began to think.    

"Ghost Fire Transformation, this is the small success stage, but I feel that it's a bit strange."    

Chen Xiao said underestimatingly.    

"Ghost Fire is a flame and a soul. It is a great divine ability that fuses with your life, so it naturally matches you."    

Xiao said indifferently and gave some pointers.
