Chapter 6246 - Kun's Impossible Technique

"I knew it..." Long Chen rolled his eyes and cursed himself for being foolish. It was so close to the entrance, how could such a treasure fall into their hands? "Poof" The man roared angrily and severed his own arm with a sharp blade. His face turned somewhat pale, and with gritted teeth, he flickered and vanished. The other strong man who was competing with him for the Nirvana Pearl also changed his expression drastically. He was fortunate to have been a step slower; otherwise, he might have been the one to lose an arm. Moreover, the severed arm seemed to be more than it appeared. After losing the arm, the man's aura visibly weakened, hinting at something peculiar. The man glanced at Long Chen, seemingly tempted to take action, but ultimately restrained himself. With a cold snort, he too disappeared. "It seems that even experts with three hundred Emperor Flames aren't brave enough to challenge me. Heh, I guess I'm somewhat famous now," Long Chen chuckled. He had used the Qiankun Cauldron, and everyone saw it. This person managed to restrain such a great temptation, showing he had some self-awareness. With the two gone, Long Chen approached the Nirvana Pearl again. He extended his hand, enveloping it with his flame power. "Buzz" As Long Chen grasped the Nirvana Pearl, endless black energy erupted from it, but it was blocked by the flames, unable to harm him. "Boom..." Long Chen pulled with force, attempting to take the Nirvana Pearl, but it didn't budge. Instead, the entire island shook continuously. Simultaneously, a massive pulling force caused a scene to appear in Long Chen's mind. Within a sea of fire, countless islands were scattered, numbering in the tens of thousands. On each island floated a Nirvana Pearl. If viewed from the Nine Heavens above, the pearls would form the image of a gigantic divine bird. "These tens of thousands of Nirvana Pearls are enhanced by a peculiar formation. Pull one, and the whole body moves. Even Xia Chen wouldn't have a solution," Long Chen thought in shock. All the Nirvana Pearls were part of a whole. Taking just one was impossible, which explained why previous entrants hadn't targeted them. In Long Chen's mental map, a massive island at the heart of the divine bird emitted a vast pressure. "That should be everyone's target," Long Chen thought. His figure flickered as he left the island, speeding toward that direction. As he flew, the sea of fire below boiled with magma. Just as he sensed an unusual wave, Huo Ling'er warned: "Brother Long Chen, below the lava, there are strange creatures with formidable power and astonishing numbers." "Do you know what kind of creatures they are?" Long Chen asked. "Not sure. Unless we probe with spiritual sense, but that might alarm them," Huo Ling'er shook her head. Long Chen nodded, not particularly worried. Creatures living in magma must be fire-attributed, and as long as they were, there was nothing to fear. Besides, with so many divine birds entering here, even if danger lurked, it wouldn't target him first. Now that he didn't need to worry about being expelled, Long Chen wasn't in a hurry. He was aware of his luck; when it came to matters involving luck, he often had to step aside. Although his treasure-hunting skills weren't strong, he was adept at seizing treasures, which was useful. Long Chen asked Huo Ling'er to help conceal his aura. In this world of flames, it was child's play for Huo Ling'er. Soon, a fiery battle outfit appeared on Long Chen, with long flame wings trailing behind. Runes flowed across the wings, rendering Long Chen's figure invisible. As long as Long Chen didn't take action or get too close to others, he would be hard to detect. Having done all this, Long Chen silently moved toward the core area. He had to admit, Huo Ling'er was indeed powerful. Long Chen encountered many strong individuals along the way, yet none discovered him. As he neared the core area, more and more experts gathered, causing Long Chen to curse inwardly. That birdman certainly wasn't considerate; he seemed afraid Long Chen would arrive late and escape with the treasure, leaving no one to kill him. As Long Chen advanced, he saw over a hundred strong individuals, all possessing at least three hundred Emperor Flames, some with auras similar to Di Mengyao's. The experts here, whether from the Nine Heavens World or beyond, all wore vigilant expressions, hostile yet refraining from immediate action. Evidently, in the face of the Chaos Vermilion Bird's relic, grudges could be temporarily set aside. Long Chen keenly observed that these extraterrestrial experts bore a dark aura, distinctly different from the Nine Heavens World's experts, easily recognizable at a glance. He noticed an extraterrestrial demon with golden wings, yet his demonic aura differed from that of the Nine Heavens' demons and demonic beasts. Their aura was darker, colder, unmistakable even at a glance. "Wait, such a familiar aura..." Long Chen suddenly halted, his eyes filled with uncertainty, for he sensed a familiar presence. However, the other party had evidently concealed their aura. Without the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art's keen perception, it would have been undetectable. In such a perilous place, to encounter someone familiar, Long Chen was intrigued and needed to locate them first. But as Long Chen continued, more strong individuals appeared ahead. Soon, he spotted a massive island. From high above, Long Chen's heart pounded. The island was actually a corpse. It was as large as a world, a divine bird radiating flames. Its feathers still shimmered with divine light, impaled by a sky-piercing pillar, nailed to the ground. Seeing the pillar, Long Chen couldn't help but have his pupils shrink: "This aura..." To Long Chen's shock, upon seeing the pillar, his Seven-Colored Supreme Blood boiled instantly. If not for Long Chen's timely suppression, he might have exposed his position. "This corpse should be the legendary Chaos Vermilion Bird, and the pillar is a divine weapon that killed it. Yet this pillar caused my Seven-Colored Supreme Blood to react. Could there be a connection with my bloodline?" Long Chen was astounded. Long Chen's Seven-Colored Supreme Blood came from the Jiuli Clan; was it possible this pillar... "This Chaos Vermilion Bird, I, Kun Wufa, am determined to obtain. Any who dare obstruct me shall be slain without mercy!" Suddenly, an arrogant voice, like that of an emperor, echoed throughout the area. Instantly, a group of figures appeared in the void above. Leading them was a man with a golden crown and robe. As he appeared, the entire world was painted gold, his eyes flowing with golden symbols, exuding divine might. "Is he Kun Wufa?" Long Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he observed the man who arrived with an imperial air.
