Chapter 647: Chapter 447: Nine Lotus Sacred Fire, Treasure Seizure, and Distant Escape

"Unbelievable! That’s two Tribulation Crossing experts fighting up ahead!"

Even from ten miles away, Lin Chang’sheng could feel the intense energy of their battle.

Every clash made the ground quake, surges of powerful Primordial Power rippling outward.

Anyone with weak cultivation dared not get close at all.

Otherwise, if they even approached, it would mean certain death.

A clash between Tribulation Crossing experts isn’t something ordinary people can just stand by and watch.

"A heavenly omen—there must be a treasure emerging! Let’s go have a look!"

Xiaobai sensed that the skies ahead were ablaze with red, and with such powerful contenders fighting, a rare treasure had to be behind it.

"So, I was right!"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself, then rushed quickly toward the heart of the battle.

Hoping that before the two finished fighting, he could seize the treasure for himself.

However, as Lin Chang’sheng drew closer to the combat’s center, the two mighty auras expanded even further.

Even Lin Chang’sheng was finding it hard to press forward step by step.

Roar—

With no other option, Lin Chang’sheng activated the Dragon God True Body Technique, his body and Primordial Power instantly soaring to the Mahayana Stage.

With his Mahayana Cultivation boosting him, Lin Chang’sheng was finally able to move ahead.

When only a mile from the battle, Lin Chang’sheng saw clearly who was fighting.

One of them was a blue-robed woman, about thirty years old, still exuding graceful allure.

With every swing of her blade, she looked as though she could split heaven and earth apart.

Facing her was a middle-aged man.

The man was clad all in white, and on his chest was the insignia of a Furnace.

In his hands, he wielded a Fiery Flame Spear.

"He’s from Divine Pill Pavilion?"

Lin Chang’sheng muttered inwardly.

Because the insignia on his robes was the same as Divine Pill Pavilion’s.

Not far from the two, deep underground, a dazzling light flickered, sending waves of heat rolling outward.

"Maybe the two of them are fighting over that!"

Lin Chang’sheng thought to himself.

Since he hadn’t actually gotten close to the underground chamber, he didn’t know what was hidden there.

But judging by appearances, it wasn’t an Immortal Vein.

Because raging heat poured out from the underground cavern ahead, dyeing the skies a blood-red.

"Xiao Chen, you’re no match for me. Leave now and you might keep your life. The Nine Lotus Sacred Fire was discovered first by disciples of the Piaomiao Sect! You think you can just rob us?"

The blue-robed woman called out from ahead.

At her words, Xiao Chen sneered.

"The Nine Lotus Sacred Fire is a treasure born of heaven and earth, belonging to none. Since when did it become yours? Robbery? Please. This flame is the ultimate sacred fire for Alchemy. If you let me have it, I’ll reward you with a Holy Pill in the future!"

Xiao Chen had no intention of backing down.

After all, the Nine Lotus Sacred Fire was the most stable flame for refining elixirs. If he got it, it would guarantee his ascension to Holy Grade Alchemist.

"What a joke. Is a single Holy Pill worth as much as the Nine Lotus Sacred Fire? If you insist on being stubborn, don’t blame me for what comes next!"

Seeing Xiao Chen’s refusal to yield, the blue-robed woman knew she had to kill him.

The Piaomiao Sect desperately needed a top prodigy to emerge. If such a Heaven and Earth Spirit Treasure could fall into their hands, the sect would rise to greatness.

"Fine! Then let me see just how strong your Misty Sword Technique really is!"

Xiao Chen was fearless.

Though both were Tribulation Crossing cultivators, and Xiao Chen was mostly focused on the Alchemy Dao, leaving his cultivation a bit behind—

Killing him wouldn’t be easy.

"Hell-bent on dying? I’ll grant your wish!"

At this point, Yu Lanfeng’s killing intent was raw. If she didn’t finish Xiao Chen soon, more powerhouses would show up.

By then, getting the Nine Lotus Sacred Fire would become impossible.

So Yu Lanfeng unleashed the Piaomiao Sect’s strongest swordsmanship—Unrivaled Mysterious Sword Technique.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Tens of thousands of Sword Aura slashed through the air toward Xiao Chen.

The Sword Qi’s illusions and reality blurred together—mysterious, hard to distinguish.

The only way to survive was to block every single strike.

"Angry Dragon Roar—"

Xiao Chen roared, his spear trembling as thousands of firelights erupted. With a thrust, endless flames shaped into a fiery dragon, clashing against the Sword Qi.

Boom! Boom! Boom!—

In an instant, deafening detonations echoed through the sky.

Sword Qi and Spear Aura collided, and the very heavens and earth seemed to warp.

Waves of scorching heat blasted outward, sending nearby Mahayana experts stumbling back hundreds of yards for safety.

But with Xiaobai shielding him, Lin Chang’sheng withstood the blast unscathed.

"Still not moving?"

Xiaobai urged Lin Chang’sheng.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin Chang’sheng sprang into motion, darting straight for the glowing spot underground ahead.

This treasure had to be the Nine Lotus Sacred Fire they were talking about.

Anything worth fighting over by two such experts was anything but ordinary.

"How dare you!"

Yu Lanfeng shouted when she saw Lin Chang’sheng making a play for the Nine Lotus Sacred Fire.

This bastard dared try and snatch food from the mouths of dragons—he was out of his mind.

He didn’t take them seriously at all.

But with her and Xiao Chen still locked in battle, if she diverted her Primordial Power, the enemy could seriously wound her.

Which meant she could only watch as Lin Chang’sheng rushed into the cavern.

"Why are you all standing around?! Kill him!"

Yu Lanfeng shouted coldly.

The disciples and Elders of Piaomiao Sect surged forward to surround and kill Lin Chang’sheng—they couldn’t allow the Nine Lotus Sacred Fire to fall into someone else’s hands.

"Yes!"

Piaomiao Sect disciples and the other Elders responded, charging toward the cave as one.

Just as Lin Chang’sheng stepped into the cavern, he was utterly stunned by what he saw inside.
