Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Cross This Line and Die!

Chen Xiao was held by Xuan Daozi, feeling somewhat helpless.

"Old man, can you put me down?"

"No!" Xuan Daozi said flatly, "Your speed is too slow, if they catch up, it will be troublesome."

Chen Xiao: "..."

Moments later, they saw a scorched earth as if it had been baked by a great fire.

A scorching heat swept over them.

The deeper they went, the more intense the heat became.

As they continued deeper, Chen Xiao saw crimson flames burning on the ground ahead.

Unextinguished for a thousand years.

The flames were exceedingly bright, radiating high temperatures.

Chen Xiao swallowed hard.

Going in there, he might be burned to ashes on the spot!

But suddenly, he heard a faint dragon’s roar coming from within the fire domain...

"Could this be the fire dragon’s bone-burying land?"

"Yes." Xuan Daozi nodded, "The Fire Dragon Ball is nurtured within."

"Harness all your spiritual power, we’re going in!"

With that, he sped up once again!

Chen Xiao could only muster all his strength to resist the intense heat of the flames.

Despite being shielded by spiritual power, he could feel the high temperatures penetrating, almost cooking him.

Xuan Daozi wrapped his entire body in spiritual power, making Chen Xiao feel a little better.

Once inside the fire domain, Chen Xiao saw numerous beasts formed from flame, each ferocious, charging at the two of them.

"A bunch of trash." Xuan Daozi raised his hand, instantly wiping out two or three fire beasts.

"Why are there such strange creatures?"

"The True Dragon is the head of all beasts, its fallen place naturally not ordinary, these fire beasts are the remnant souls of ferocious beasts from back then, they regained spiritual wisdom due to the special nature of this place, forming special flame beasts."

"After all, they absorbed a lot of dragon energy."

"There are also tricky presences among these fire beasts, they covet the Fire Dragon Ball very much."

"Better not let us encounter them."

Xuan Daozi led Chen Xiao forward, but slowed down as they went deeper.

Because the deeper they went, the stronger the destructive power of the flames became.

They had no choice but to slow down.

Chen Xiao felt as though he was inside a furnace, with sweat dripping from him, mouth parched.

However, this situation did not last long.

Soon, in Chen Xiao’s vision, a crimson orb floated in the air.

The crimson orb emitted a strong pressure.

Within the orb, golden light flowed.

Beside it, dragon shadows circled, swallowing and exhaling the essence of the sun and moon.

"Fire Dragon Ball!" Chen Xiao’s heart beat wildly. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

After searching for so long, he finally saw the Fire Dragon Ball!

"Seems like it has thoroughly matured." Xuan Daozi nodded in satisfaction.

He stepped into the void, heading directly toward the Fire Dragon Ball.

At that moment, a few beastly roars sounded.

A massive figure suddenly appeared before them, several meters high.

It was a fire beast.

Its body erupted with a terrifying aura.

Chen Xiao glanced at it, feeling a chill down his spine.

This fire beast’s strength had probably reached an extremely powerful level.

It felt even stronger than those Heavenly Realm experts.

Xuan Daozi’s face was also somber, "Didn’t expect, it’s been just twenty years and the strength of this fire bear has reached such a level, probably devoured quite a few other fire beasts."

The main reason these fire beasts are so strong is because the dragon energy in this place is rich.

And they survive by relying on dragon energy.

So, through mutual devouring, they can grow rapidly in strength.

Suddenly!

A thunderous roar echoed in everyone’s ears.

"Xuan Daozi, you old dog, hand over your life!"

Chen Xiao and Xuan Daozi turned around, their expression changed slightly.

An elder from the Daxia Dynasty arrived, wielding the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow Sword.

His aura of murder was vast and boundless.

On the other side, Prince Shang had a cold expression, standing aloof in the void.

His gaze was also fixed on Xuan Daozi.

Bai Yun held a folding fan, waved it gently, and the Great Zhou Imperial Family’s experts behind him spread out, encircling Xuan Daozi and Chen Xiao.

In an instant, swords were drawn!

"Xuan Daozi, years ago you broke into my Daxia Royal Family’s medicine fields and stole plenty of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, now, this debt must be settled!"

"My Da Shang Royal Family had many heavenly materials and earthly treasures taken by you, now it’s time to account for it."

"I heard that twenty years ago, you tried to abduct the imperial princess of my Great Zhou Royal Family, if our Emperor hadn’t been prepared, you might have succeeded... Now, we need to account for this old debt as well!"

Zi Xuantian was surprised, didn’t expect this unassuming old man to be so bold, offending all three ancient royal clans, truly commendable courage.

However...

He’s likely to be in trouble!

After all, these three ancient royal families are not to be trifled with.

Xuan Daozi sneered, "Your trash isn’t even enough to fill my teeth, I visited your places to give you face, at worst, I’ll repay double."

"Moreover, your ancient royal families acquired those heavenly materials and earthly treasures by plundering subsidiary forces below, you know the origins of these things yourselves!"

"Quite the stubborn mouth!" The elder of Daxia Royal Family trembled with rage, "Since you said so, there’s no need for us to hold back."

"Earlier you escaped, fortunate for you."

"Now, with holy artifacts in our hands, even if you possess sky-reaching abilities, you can’t escape!"

With that, they exchanged glances, and together unleashed their holy artifacts, preparing to attack Xuan Daozi.

Xuan Daozi’s old frame erupted with a formidable aura, even his slightly hunched body straightened significantly at that moment.

"Just you lot, with a few scraps, think of confronting me?"

"You’re dreaming!"

At this moment, the fire bear roared once again, launching an attack at Xuan Daozi and Chen Xiao.

Xuan Daozi looked at it indifferently, raised his hand, a massive palm seal descended from the sky, crushing the fire bear on the spot into flaming fragments!

The faces of the three ancient royal clans were grim; the combat power of this fire bear was terrifying, possibly not inferior to a martial artist in the late stage of the Heavenly Realm. Yet, it was killed by Xuan Daozi with a single palm!

Even holding holy artifacts, it seemed, it would be a fiercely bloody battle.

From the direction of the Xuantian Sect, Zi Xuantian did not rashly join the battle; after all, he had no enmity with Xuan Daozi, no need to fight him to the death.

And Zi Yuan stood behind Zi Xuantian, her gaze fixed on Chen Xiao, biting her red lips...

She never expected to encounter Chen Xiao here.

Thinking of the events between them earlier, her heart felt complex.

"You go get the Fire Dragon Ball." Xuan Daozi instructed Chen Xiao, "I’ll guard here."

Saying so, a sword appeared in his hand.

The sword slashed casually, carving out a sword mark dozens of meters long.

"Today, anyone who crosses this line will die!"

He stood there, indifferent in expression, his voice not loud but filled with a commanding presence.
