The implication was clear. It was obviously not some “spiritual fire,” but rather demonic fire or demonic flames.
This fire looked distinctly more evil and dark than the “azure yang devil fire,” making it obvious at a glance that it was not something good.
At the same time, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was violently fluctuating.
Under the control of an unknown powerful being, strands of spiritual power surged into the black-red demonic flame, causing the fire to grow increasingly fierce, its might rising sharply to a level that would make even great cultivators change their expressions.
But for some unknown reason, the black-red demonic flame only surrounded the three without launching an immediate attack.
"Hehehe~"
The sound of a girl’s laughter, like silver bells, seemed at first to belong to a pure and innocent little sister.
However, upon closer listening, it resembled that of a mature female cultivator, modest yet hinting at charm and temptation, easily evoking images related to “sexiness.”
There was a certain bewitching quality to this laughter; those of insufficient cultivation who listened for too long would inevitably become restless and lost in thought.
A discerning sword knows its master. The ability to emit such a demonic laugh clearly indicated that its owner was not a righteous cultivator.
“Black-red demonic flame, controlling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, female cultivator—”
Based on these three characteristics, a renowned title from Tian Nan instantly appeared in the minds of the three.
Crimson Serpent True Lord!
Due to her cruel and merciless demonic style, coupled with her signature “Purgatory Demon Flame,” she was privately referred to as the “Purgatory Demoness” by many True Lords.
Upon realizing the visitor's identity, Huang Mei and Mo Mei's expressions changed, feeling as though a great mountain pressed down upon their hearts, making it difficult to breathe.
The reason was simple: every pinnacle True Lord possessed absolute strength, being the strongest beneath the divine transformation, far surpassing other True Lords.
Even a late-stage yuan ying great cultivator could be killed without injury!
In the vast Tian Nan cultivation world, there were only three who were recognized as pinnacle True Lords.
Without a doubt, they were the geniuses among geniuses, the monsters among monsters!
Had it not been for unfortunate timing, they would likely have broken through the divine transformation realm even in ancient times.
Realizing who had come, Liu Yu also wore a grave expression, his magical power quietly circulating within his body, ready to strike with full force at any moment.
It was clear the visitor was not here for a friendly visit. However, with strength backing him, he was neither surprised nor flustered.
“The Crimson Serpent Demon Lord, true name Shen Bixin, is over eight hundred years old and has been stuck at the peak of yuan ying for over two hundred years.”
“Yet I wonder why she is ambushing a few ‘small cultivators’ instead of contending for opportunities at the core of the Forbidden Zone?”
“Could it be because of the ‘Nine Orifices Qingti’?!”
With related information flashing through his mind, Liu Yu gazed at the dimly lit Line of Sky, various thoughts swirling within.
During the competition for the Nine Orifices Qingti, numerous powerful beings had secretly monitored the situation, and the news could easily leak out, allowing the Crimson Serpent Demon Lord to learn of it.
While the assistance this item could provide during a divine transformation was limited, it was still a rare spiritual object in the current cultivation world.
“A bird in hand is worth two in the bush.” Given his understanding of demon cultivators, it was indeed likely that the Crimson Serpent Demon Lord chose to ambush them on the way rather than compete for the core of the Forbidden Zone precisely because of the ‘Nine Orifices Qingti’.
After all, at the core of the Forbidden Zone, powerful beings gathered, undoubtedly bringing together the most elite forces of both humans and demons.
