Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 940: Chapter 698: True Flame Incinerates the Demon

Just like that, it’s over?

Slain with such ease by this man.

The entire process was so quick they couldn’t even see it clearly.

"Tsk, went a bit too hard..."

Shen Xuan mused to himself.

Originally, he intended to appear severely depleted of spiritual power, with a weak and unstable aura.

But the power of the Seven-Taste True Flame far exceeded his estimation.

When unleashed fully, incinerating a Tier Three Demon King was as effortless as burning paper, hardly resembling a hard-fought battle.

Nevermind.

Shen Xuan decided not to pretend.

He gathered his thoughts and turned respectfully to True Master Wang Yue: "True Master, this place is not safe to linger. Why don’t we move to the Liu Family’s spaceship first and then make plans?"

True Master Wang Yue gave him a complicated look, his gaze lingering on Shen Xuan’s calm face for several moments.

Finally, he nodded slowly.

"Fellow Daoist Guo speaks truly. Let us go meet with the Liu Family immediately."

...

"A Tier Three Tiger Demon, killed instantly by Master Guo?!"

The Liu Family cultivators were equally shocked and overjoyed upon hearing the news.

They heard Master Guo used a fearsome Fire Gourd to slay the Tiger Demon.

Liu Minglin and the others were taken aback at first, then they all showed expressions of enlightenment.

No wonder he was so calm earlier, it turns out he held such a precious treasure.

Once True Master Wang Yue boarded the spaceship, the first thing he did was have a private discussion with Liu Minglin.

Knowing this "Fellow Daoist Guo" had been personally vetted by Ming Liu True Master, a great weight was lifted from his heart.

It wasn’t that he was inherently suspicious, nor that he sensed any flaw; it was simply that the methods displayed by this Fellow Daoist Guo were too formidable.

Knowing Guo Shiyan joined the battle wanting to exchange for a Golden Transformation Pill,

True Master Wang Yue solemnly promised in front of Shen Xuan.

This battle would merit him great credit.

As long as he returned safely to the sect, he would indeed be able to exchange for a high-quality Bright Flame Sect Golden Transformation Pill from the Administrative Hall.

By dusk, the setting sun was like blood.

Everyone took a short rest in a secluded valley.

True Master Wang Yue, Liu Minglin, Ma Wanquan, Xiao Changsheng, and Shen Xuan gathered together to discuss their next move.

"This time, we must thank Fellow Daoist Guo for his tremendous assistance."

True Master Wang Yue sighed deeply, speaking sincerely.

"Otherwise, my Left Army’s seven battalions would face the risk of annihilation."

He didn’t inquire about Shen Xuan’s background.

Such a character, hiding at the Liu Family’s residence, must have his reasons.

Moreover, the opponent’s combat strength was outstanding.

This not only garnered his respect but also added a touch of wariness.

Shen Xuan spoke up, posing a question that had been troubling him.

"True Master, why did the Tiger Demon pursue us from the direction of the main camp?"

True Master Wang Yue’s brows furrowed tightly.

Once they were out of danger and able to think calmly, this issue finally surfaced in his mind.

"Could it be..."

True Master Wang Yue’s voice was bitter.

"The rear camp has already fallen?"

At these words, silence fell around the campfire.

"The rear camp had the largest number, totaling over eighty thousand, and Senior Brother Qing Song was in command; how could it..."

True Master Wang Yue’s voice trailed off.

Reason told him this was the most likely harsh reality.

Shen Xuan’s gaze swept over Liu Minglin, Ma Wanquan, and Xiao Changsheng.

"True Master, I have reviewed records of previous demon beast wars. This time, it seems unlike any other."

He paused, then slowly continued, "This time, the Demon Race’s offensive is relentless and tightly coordinated—not like raiding and looting, more like exterminating us entirely."

"Indeed!"

Ma Wanquan suddenly lifted his head, bloodshot eyes still vivid.

"I have the same feeling! Over a hundred of my Ma Family’s Qi Cultivation disciples were completely surrounded and wiped out by a wolf pack lying in wait!"

"What Fellow Daoist Guo and Fellow Daoist Ma said is exactly my concern," Xiao Changsheng hoarsely added.

"I feel the same way," Liu Minglin said.

True Master Wang Yue’s heart sank deeper and deeper into despair.

The crackling of the campfire illuminated the gravely serious faces of the five people.

This demon beast war is probably far more perilous than any previous one.

...

In the dead of night, all was silent.

Shen Xuan walked out of the temporary tent, gazing southward.

The dense darkness pressed heavily on the horizon of the Southern Wilderness.

A peculiar sense lingered in his mind.

In that direction, an extremely fierce battle was underway.

He faintly sensed the shockwaves of spiritual power clashes and the vibrations of interwoven laws.

Moreover, it was a battle at the Tier Four cultivator level.

This indicated that True Monarch Red Flame, the commander of Bright Flame Sect’s 180,000-strong army, had faced off against the Southern Wilderness Demon Race’s Transformed Great Demon in earnest combat.

At the same time, a deeper, more widespread sorrow and agitation, like a silent tide, washed over his heart.

It wasn’t a specific scene.

Rather, it was the wailing of a mass extinction of life, echoing through the world.

The auras of countless Human Race cultivators were being snuffed out and dispersed under the onslaught of the demon race’s waves.

This perception not only came from the numerous sensing talents he possessed.

It was also because, after advancing to the Divine Power Realm and becoming a Tier Four cultivator, he had become more keenly aware of the world’s energy shifts.

"The might of the Seven-Taste True Flame is indeed extraordinary."

Shen Xuan mused inwardly.

For an ordinary fire cultivator, the power of the Seven-Taste True Flame is world-shaking.

A fire technique Foundation Establishment Perfection cultivator was able to cross a Great Realm and effortlessly slay a Tier Three Middle Grade Demon Tiger using the Seven-Taste True Flame.

Unbelievable!

Who would dare to believe such a tale if told?

But for Shen Xuan, it was perfectly logical.

The Seven-Taste True Flame was based on the innate Spirit Embryo True Fire Gourd, blending seven types of Celestial and Earthly Spirit Fire, including the Celestial Tribulation Thunderfire and True Sun Flame. Its power was inherently great, with a restraining effect on demon beasts.

Nurtured for many years, the flames intermingled within the True Fire Gourd, giving rise to a trace of innate spirituality, hence its power far exceeded its peers.

"Judging by the current situation, the Demon Race’s coming is aggressive and unprecedented. True Monarch Red Flame is likely locked in a grueling battle..."

"I hope Bright Flame Sect’s 180,000 strong cultivator army can survive this tribulation."
