Death Grip
"Can this thing really cross the Fire Sea?" Mo Feiyu said, looking at the Purple Fire Barrier in front of him, somewhat incredulous.
After all, the purple flames did not seem to compare at all to the raging Fire Sea ahead. The thought of crossing the Fire Sea with this seemed impossible.
"Junior Brother, this thing does seem a bit unreliable!" Xueqing also looked at Xing Chen and said. Although the Purple Gold Tiger was impressive just now, no one knew if it was truly that powerful. However, judging by their expressions, they clearly did not believe that the Purple Fire Barrier could withstand the surging Fire Sea.
"Woo woo woo..." After transforming, the Purple Gold Tiger could no longer speak, but it still understood what Mo Feiyu and the others were saying. So, upon seeing their doubts about its Purple Fire Barrier, the Purple Gold Tiger immediately began to whimper.
"Is this thing really reliable?" Even Xing Chen began to have doubts.
"Woo woo..." The Purple Gold Tiger waved its two paws incessantly, its tiger face showing an anxious expression.
"This thing should be fine. Although its power is still weak, its Purple Gold Flame can almost counter all flames from below." Hate Emperor spoke up.
"In that case, we’ll have to rely on it." Xing Chen thought to himself while looking at Xueqing and the others, saying, "Senior Brothers and Sisters, this Purple Fire Barrier is definitely reliable. If we want to cross the Fire Sea, we need to harness its power."
Xing Chen was the first to step into the barrier. The purple gold flames burning on the surface of the barrier did not harm him in the slightest.
"I believe in Junior Brother Xing Chen." Seeing that Xing Chen had already entered the barrier, Xueqing followed closely behind. Although the Purple Fire Barrier was made of Purple Gold Flame, being inside it felt completely devoid of any heat.
"Alright! Then let’s give it a shot! I hope this thing really can help us cross the Fire Sea." Mo Feiyu said as he stepped in as well, with Ouyang Zhenhai and Xue following closely into the Purple Fire Barrier.
"Okay, now that we have the protection of the Purple Fire Barrier, as long as we stay within this shielded area, we should be safe." Xing Chen said as he soared into the air. The others also moved swiftly upward, with the Purple Fire Barrier enveloping them and resisting the fiery waves emanating from the scorching Fire Sea.
"This thing is indeed useful! In this Fire Sea, we can hardly feel its heat at all." Mo Feiyu said with a joyful expression. At that moment, under the protection of the Purple Fire Barrier, they felt no heat whatsoever. Moreover, it seemed as though the raging flames of the Fire Sea below were afraid of the purple gold flames above; they retreated in droves, unwilling to approach.
It was as if an emperor was making a royal procession, causing all subjects to bow and retreat in reverence without daring to show any disrespect.
"Junior Brother, this thing is amazing! It seems we can really pass through this Fire Sea and reach the other side." A joyful expression appeared on Xueqing's face as she spoke.
"Yes, we should be there soon," Xing Chen nodded.
This time, there were no appearances of the Blazing Fire Dragon Soul or Flame People in the Fire Sea. After all, the Purple Gold Flame was the Emperor of Fire; once fire was unleashed, all flames retreated. Currently, Xing Chen and the others were surrounded by the Purple Fire Barrier, so the flames in the Fire Sea below dared not act recklessly.
After about half an hour, everyone flew across the Fire Sea and reached the other side.
At this moment, they could clearly see what lay beyond the Fire Sea. There was a bottomless abyss, and all the surrounding Fire Sea flames emanated from this chasm. On the cliffs of the abyss grew some fiery red vines bearing red fruits.
"Could this be the legendary Fire Lin Fruit?" Mo Feiyu, well-versed in such matters, looked at the fruits on the vines below and murmured to himself.
"Fire Lin Fruit?" Confusion appeared on Xing Chen and the others' faces.
"That's right, it's the Fire Lin Fruit. It is said that this type of fruit grows in extremely hot places, ideally within a Fire Sea to bloom and bear fruit normally. The effect of the Fire Lin Fruit is to enhance physical strength, making one's body extraordinarily powerful, even allowing one to transform into the legendary fire qilin body," Mo Feiyu said with shining eyes.
After all, he had obtained the inheritance of the Fire Divine Lord. While this inheritance could greatly increase his power, it could not change his physique.
However, the Fire Lin Fruit was different. As long as he had enough opportunity and consumed the Fire Lin Fruit, he could transform into the legendary fire qilin body.
The fire qilin body is a type of qilin physique; among the qilin clan, the fire qilin represents this body type. Once a human possesses a fire qilin body, not only will their cultivation level rise significantly, but their physical strength will also become immensely powerful. When performing fire attribute martial arts, their power will similarly increase exponentially.
"Senior brother, it seems your opportunity has arrived!" Ouyang Zhenhai spoke up. The Fire Lin Fruit was not suitable for him or for Xing Chen or Xueqing; it was particularly suitable for Mo Feiyu to consume and refine.
"That's right, senior brother! Go get that Fire Lin Fruit and refine it! Not only do you have a chance to obtain the fire qilin body, but you might also break through to reach the Peak of Fate Observation Realm," Xueqing added.
"Senior brother, sister is right; this thing is most suitable for you. Hurry up and pick it!" Xing Chen nodded in agreement.
Seeing Xing Chen's reaction, Xueqing smiled at him. After all, it was Xing Chen who suggested coming here in the first place. Now that they found a treasure that wasn't suitable for him, he was not angry but instead willing to help Mo Feiyu obtain it. This made Xueqing feel increasingly fond of Xing Chen, deepening her feelings for him.
"Alright, I'll go get the Fire Lin Fruit now; I’ll need my junior brother's help!" Mo Feiyu said as he glanced at Xing Chen.
"Rascal, I’ll be relying on you," Xing Chen looked at the Purple Gold Tiger on his shoulder.
"Woo woo woo..." The Purple Gold Tiger was making sounds, its two paws gesturing in the air. Although most people did not understand its meaning, Xing Chen did.
"Senior Brother, what it means is that as long as you step out of the Purple Fire Barrier, a portion of the power from the Purple Fire Barrier will naturally attach to you, helping you resist the external flames," Xing Chen said to Mo Feiyu.
"Is there such a thing?" Mo Feiyu replied, somewhat surprised.
Then, he stepped out of the Purple Fire Barrier. Under the tense gazes of everyone, a portion of the power from the Purple Fire Barrier indeed attached itself to him.
"Haha, it really works! With this, taking the Fire Lin Fruit will be an easy task," Mo Feiyu laughed and then moved swiftly toward the cliff in the bottomless abyss below.
"It seems there shouldn't be any problems!" Xing Chen thought to himself as he watched this scene. After all, as long as the surrounding flames could not harm him, picking the Fire Lin Fruit would naturally be a piece of cake.
"Wait, is that an ice and fire fluctuation I sense?" At that moment, Xueqing furrowed her brows.
"Ice and fire fluctuation? Senior Sister, I don't feel anything! Are you suggesting that besides us, there are other people or beasts here?" Xing Chen's face showed a look of uncertainty.
"I don't know, but I definitely sensed a wave of Ice and Fire Energy," Xueqing said thoughtfully.
Just as they were talking, Mo Feiyu had already reached the cliff where the Fire Lin Fruit was within reach.
"Fire Lin Fruit..." Mo Feiyu's gaze fell on the Fire Lin Fruit, revealing a hint of eagerness in his eyes. He then reached out to grab it.
However, just as his hand reached into the air, a pillar of ice and fire suddenly shot toward him.
"Not good!" Mo Feiyu sensed something was wrong almost instantly. He quickly summoned the Sun God Bow into his hand. Grabbing the bowstring with his right hand, he pulled it back fiercely, and a flaming Sun God Arrow appeared on the Sun God Bow.
Whoosh!
As he released the bowstring, the Sun God Arrow shot out instantly and collided with the ice and fire pillar.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed, and the raging flames instantly spread outwards. Mo Feiyu swiftly grabbed the Fire Lin Fruit and then soared upwards.
In a place like this, facing unknown dangers, he naturally would not linger too long on any matters. Everything had to wait until he returned above and reunited with Xing Chen and the others.
"What was that?" Xing Chen and the others also saw the ice and fire beam that attacked Mo Feiyu, but they still did not know who had launched this attack.
"It is the aura of a Demon Emperor Level. Although it is still weak, it is definitely the aura of a Demon Emperor. There must be a Demon Emperor hidden here," Xueqing said, her gaze warily fixed on the abyss below.
"A Demon Emperor Level Beast?" Xing Chen's expression showed surprise. The last Ice Sculpture Demon King had left a deep impression on him, and he did not want to engage with a Demon Emperor Level beast again, as he knew very well that he did not possess that kind of strength.
"It should be a Half-Step Demon Emperor Level, which corresponds to the Half-Step Spirit Void Realm among humans. Although this type of beast has not fully stepped into the Demon Emperor Level, its strength will definitely not be weak," Xueqing said with a serious expression.
"Everyone, hurry up! That Rascal below is very powerful." At this moment, Mo Feiyu had returned to the Purple Fire Barrier. His face was pale, and there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, indicating that he had sustained serious injuries from the previous attack.
"Aw—"
Just then, a sudden wolf howl rang out, followed by a shadow rushing out from below.
