Chapter 69

Remember for a second 【↘→】, providing you with exciting novel reading. For a moment, the entire atmosphere seemed to freeze, the scene falling into an eerie silence, but it was soon interrupted by a deliberate laugh.

"Haha... Honglian, congratulations on breaking through to the late Essence Spirit Realm. With this, our strength has increased once again. What a joyous event!"

Shen Yushu spoke loudly with a smile, his eyes glancing at Zhou Huo, who stood elsewhere with a cold expression, a hint of mockery passing over his lips.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

In such a short time, more than a dozen figures quickly arrived, also witnessing the strange scene and the surging flow of elemental energy in the air!

None of those who had made it this far were ordinary. Dozens of eyes scanned each other, on guard and cautious, especially focusing on Zhou Huo, the red-haired youth, Nalan Yan, and Shen Yushu. The most attention was on these five.

"Prince Sima, are you alright?"

Mo Honglian, who had been standing quietly, suddenly spoke, looking at Sima Ao, who was held by the red-haired youth, his face covered in blood. Concern and regret flashed in her beautiful eyes.

In fact, as soon as the five of them entered the Primordial Yang Inheritance, they encountered strange puppets and a fierce battle ensued. After they defeated the puppets blocking their path, they were targeted by Zhou Huo and the red-haired youth.

With their cultivation at the time, the five of them could not possibly stand against even one of Zhou Huo or the red-haired youth. They had no choice but to resist and retreat. The red-haired youth, under Zhou Huo's orders, pursued them relentlessly, determined to eliminate all five from the Hundred Yuan Realm.

In the end, it was Sima Ao who stepped forward, desperately holding back the red-haired youth, allowing the Mo sisters and Lin Yingluo to escape. The four of them entered a one-time teleportation array and were transported to the side of the elemental energy river.

Perhaps all of this could be attributed to luck.

"Cough, cough... Thank you for your concern, Miss Mo... I'm fine... cough, cough... Miss Mo... don't worry, Ye... Ye Wuxian has already entered... he... he is coming..."

Sima Ao coughed violently, but the excitement and enthusiasm in his voice were clearly perceived by Mo Honglian.

"That's great! Little Brother Wuxian, I knew he would come! Hmm? Prince Sima, your fingers?"

Seeing Sima Ao's three left fingers, which were bloody and grotesquely deformed, Mo Honglian's heart trembled. But then she noticed that the red-haired youth, who was holding Sima Ao, also had three left fingers broken by brute force!

"Ha ha ha ha... Miss Mo... I... I'm fine... cough, cough, cough..."

Though he was coughing continuously, Sima Ao's laughter was filled with a sense of satisfaction, as if a great vengeance had been achieved!

"Shut up!"

The red-haired youth roared in anger, his face flushed with veins, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the laughing Sima Ao. He wanted to crush him to pieces immediately, but he didn't dare.

Seeing this, Mo Honglian remained silent, her mind racing, her gaze shifting to Zhou Huo, who stood with his hands behind his back.

Even after successfully breaking through to the late Essence Spirit Realm, and with the help of the Clear Spirit Cold Fire and the elemental energy river, Mo Honglian's realm was now firmly established. She was confident that she was no less than Shen Yushu.

But facing Zhou Huo, the seemingly indifferent but ruthlessly talented first genius of the Purple Fire Main City, Mo Honglian still felt a strong sense of danger. It was as if Zhou Huo harbored a shocking power within him, waiting for the right moment to unleash it.

As for Shen Yushu's sudden outburst, Mo Honglian was not surprised. She understood that not only herself, but also Shen Yushu and Nalan Yan from the Heavenly Phoenix Main City, were wary of Zhou Huo. Now that she had successfully broken through to the late Essence Spirit Realm, if she could successfully ally with them, they would have a better chance against Zhou Huo.

Therefore, despite her extreme disgust with Shen Yushu, Mo Honglian did not speak out against him. Instead, she quietly scanned the other three women still absorbing elemental energy in the river.

"If Qingye, Xiaobaiou, and Yingluo are given another three hours, they will all advance further, all reaching the late Essence Spirit Realm. With the unpredictable Little Brother Wuxian, we will fear no one in the Primordial Yang Inheritance!"

This thought flashed through her mind, but Mo Honglian knew that the dozens of people present, none of whom were ordinary, would not fail to notice the three women's gradually strengthening auras.

"Move."

A cold, indifferent voice suddenly came from Zhou Huo. The red-haired youth's eyes flashed, and he threw Sima Ao to the side. The Deep Silver Soul Moon rose behind him, elemental energy surging, his face filled with a murderous intent as he rushed towards the elemental energy river, ready to attack the other three women!

"Purple Fire Burning Sky Fist! Fire Burning the West!"

"Buzz"

Two massive fire rings instantly formed, and despite the already high temperature of the elemental energy river, Mo Honglian still felt the temperature rise even more!

"You dare! Honglian Embracing Moon Hand!"

Seeing the red-haired youth finally make his move, Mo Honglian's expression hardened, her face radiating a menacing aura. Her arm moved gracefully in the air, and a round moon shadow above her head rolled down, pressing towards the red-haired youth!

"Hmph!"

The red-haired youth immediately felt an overwhelming pressure surge towards him, the waves forcing him to take it seriously. Seeing Mo Honglian, whom he could have easily defeated, now burst with such astonishing power, the red-haired youth couldn't help but sneer, but he had to be cautious!

"Boom"

The air buzzed, and under the red-haired youth's control, the two fire rings merged into a nearly twenty-zhang fiery light wheel, emitting a terrifying heat!

"Buzz, buzz, buzz"

The moon shadow rolled over the air, bright and gentle, yet containing a force that could suppress everything!

"Boom"

The intense collision caused a massive explosion, the waves spreading in all directions, causing the faces of the dozens of people present to change dramatically!

"Good opportunity!"

"Having waited so long, it's time to make a move!"

Two of the four people who had been held back by Mo Honglian saw her engage in a fierce battle with the red-haired youth and immediately showed a sinister smile, attacking the three women sitting by the elemental energy river again!

"Buzz, buzz"

Two streams of elemental energy, like rainbows spanning the sky, surged through the air, heading towards the elemental energy river!

This time, no one could help them.

"Oh no!"

Mo Honglian, who had just clashed with the red-haired youth, her face changed, her elemental energy surging, ready to help!

"You think so?"

The red-haired youth laughed sinisterly, his body's fiery elemental energy surging, the fire rings reappearing in his hands. He took a step forward, blocking Mo Honglian and launching two more attacks!

"Bang"

Mo Honglian was completely blocked by the red-haired youth, unable to help the other three women!

"Buzz"

Just as the two streams of elemental energy were about to hit the elemental energy river where Lin Yingluo was sitting, they were suddenly intercepted by a massive seven-colored light!

"Phoenix Wheel of Rebirth! Phoenix Dancing in the Nine Heavens!"

A figure suddenly appeared in front of the elemental energy streams, her slender hand waving, instantly breaking the two streams.

The seven-colored light faded, revealing a tall and slender figure—Nalan Yan!

Zhou Huo's indifferent eyes flickered, glancing at Nalan Yan before returning his gaze.

Shen Yushu, somewhat surprised, looked at Nalan Yan, who then spoke to Mo Honglian, who was battling the red-haired youth: "Sister Mo, with Nalan here, no one will harm your companions."

"Bang"

Mo Honglian, who had forced the red-haired youth back, looked at Nalan Yan, hearing the kind words, and smiled in response: "Hehe, thank you, Sister Nalan."

The two women's exchange instantly changed the atmosphere!

Everyone immediately understood that Mo Honglian, Nalan Yan, and Shen Yushu had formally allied to deal with Zhou Huo.

The two who had attacked the three women in the elemental energy river several times changed their expressions, their bodies involuntarily retreating.

"Boom"

A loud explosion suddenly rang in everyone's ears, and for a moment, it felt as if their soul spaces trembled, though the sensation quickly passed.

Zhou Huo, who had been standing silently, finally showed a change in his expression.

"Buzz"

A brilliant silver light swept across, instantly illuminating a hundred zhang!

Vast, powerful, and with an indescribable aura, it instantly captured everyone's attention!

In the center of the silver light, a ten-zhang silver sun-like light appeared, causing the air to tremble!

"Lucky successors..."

A cold, emotionless voice echoed, which, if Ye Wuxian were present, he would recognize as coming from Ji Yuanyang.

The sudden appearance of this scene stunned everyone!

"This... This is... Soul Sun!"

"Could it be a Dust Transcending Realm expert?"

"Is it the creator of the Primordial Yang Inheritance?"

...

Dozens of voices rose and fell, and outside the stone door, more figures entered, also instantly stunned by the scene.

"Finally, it appears..."

A hint of excitement flashed in Zhou Huo's indifferent eyes. Since letting Mo Honglian and the others escape, and then Ye Wuxian's strange appearance, Zhou Huo realized that the Primordial Yang Inheritance might be more complex than he thought.

"The Primordial Yang Inheritance... belongs to me, Zhou Huo. Whoever dares to challenge me... will die!"

An infinitely cold voice murmured from Zhou Huo's lips, his eyes fixed on the silver Soul Sun in the sky, his body trembling with excitement!

"Lucky successors... my inheritance is here. Whoever can obtain it, it's all up to their abilities... strive..."

"Buzz"

The silver Soul Sun shone brightly, the brilliant silver light engulfing everything. When the silver light faded, a ten-zhang long passage appeared at the other end of the elemental energy river, its interior faintly glowing silver, and at the end, the complete inheritance left by Ji Yuanyang was stored!

"Whoosh"

Zhou Huo's entire body radiated a terrifying aura, his face flushed with extreme desire, and he rushed into the ten-zhang passage!

"Hmph!"

Shen Yushu let out a cold laugh, gathering all his elemental energy, and followed into the passage!

"Bang"

After a clash with Mo Honglian, the red-haired youth quickly jumped out of the battle, his speed extremely fast, and followed in.

"Sister Mo, I hope you're not too late."

Nalan Yan looked at Mo Honglian, her expression showing a hint of anticipation, then her body surrounded by seven-colored elemental energy, she entered the ten-zhang passage!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

More than a dozen figures quickly followed into the ten-zhang passage.

Another dozen figures did not enter, their eyes scanning between the ten-zhang passage and the elemental energy river, their expressions fierce, and they leaped into the elemental energy river.

"Buzz, splash"

At the same time, Lin Yingluo, who had been sitting in the elemental energy river, suddenly surged with elemental energy, a purple aura bursting out, and she leaped out of the river!

"Thud"

Standing still, Lin Yingluo carefully felt her body, a hint of regret flashing in her clear, cold eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination.

"Cough, cough... Yingluo... you're alright... that's really great... cough, cough, cough..."

Sima Ao, who had fallen to the ground, saw Lin Yingluo leap up, his bloodied face showing extreme excitement!

"Sigh."

Lin Yingluo came to Sima Ao's side, gently helping him up, looking into his sincere eyes, a tall, handsome figure flashed in her mind, and she sighed softly.

"Yingluo, I'm in your debt. I need to repay Nalan Yan's favor."

Seeing Lin Yingluo leap out of the elemental energy river, her cultivation greatly advanced, Mo Honglian finally breathed a sigh of relief. She instructed Lin Yingluo and then her body glowed, entering the ten-zhang passage.

This was the purpose of Nalan Yan's earlier intervention, which is why she had said those words to Mo Honglian.

Mo Honglian understood this, but she had to repay Nalan Yan's favor, showcasing Nalan Yan's high level of strategy.

Inside the elemental energy river.

Ye Wuxian had already entered a state of complete focus, his Holy Dao Battle Qi unknowingly growing much stronger. Over the past half-hour, his aura was getting closer to the late Essence Spirit Realm.

"Hehe, I didn't expect this kid to have refined the Clear Spirit Cold Fire, naturally breaking the bottleneck between the peak middle Essence Spirit Realm and the late Essence Spirit Realm. Luck, luck... truly left to fate..."

A voice filled with infinite emotion echoed from the silver sun, Ji Yuanyang feeling immensely satisfied. If nothing went wrong, Ye Wuxian would surely break through to the late Essence Spirit Realm in the remaining minute.

"Boom"

At that moment, a massive explosion suddenly echoed from an unknown distance, causing the silver sun to tremble!

"Is it out... An hour is ultimately too tight... Kid Ye, you need to hurry..."
