Pain!
It hurts!
It hurts a lot!
As he approached within a hundred meters of the Source of Fire Flower, a strong burning sensation began to overwhelm Wei Chen's body. After all, he possessed such powerful Stellar Power to protect him.
However, when his body truly entered the range of the Fire Source, the terrifying temperature, the overwhelming heat waves, and the fierce flames instantly engulfed him.
Unbearable pain!
Every part of him felt as if it were being roasted over an open flame.
The reality was that he was not merely being roasted; instead, his entire being was enveloped in terrifying flames.
Ordinary flames, with temperatures reaching thousands of degrees, posed no threat to a powerhouse like Wei Chen.
But the temperature of the Fire Source and the surrounding flames had reached hundreds of thousands of degrees!
Wei Chen's Stellar Power shield could not hold out for long.
Moreover, the burning sensation pressed against Wei Chen's lungs and Sea of Consciousness. Even though his Stellar Power shield remained intact, the feeling of being scorched still managed to penetrate through.
The fact that Wei Chen had not died instantly was already a testament to his formidable Stellar Power.
After a few breaths, Wei Chen surged into the center of the Fire Source, where his protective Stellar Power was rapidly dissipating.
"Paralyze me? Am I really going to die?" Wei Chen cursed inwardly. It was too late for regrets; he could only fight on!
He gathered the last remnants of his Stellar Power and reinforced his protective armor before continuing to plunge downward.
After a few breaths, his Stellar Power was about to be completely exhausted!
But he had not yet reached the safe space he had imagined, a space where the Fire God should be sleeping!
With his Stellar Power nearing depletion, once it was gone, Wei Chen would turn into a wisp of energy, returning to the natural world.
There would be nothing left of him, not even a trace, under the terrifyingly high temperatures of the Fire Source.
In an instant, Wei Chen's Stellar Power finally ran out.
Wei Chen did not know how to describe his feelings; he was about to die, and it felt strangely surreal. Faced with the final moments of life and death, he found himself indifferent, as if nothing mattered anymore.
All those things he missed, all those things he cared about, all those unfinished matters—none of it seemed important.
What else was there to care about?
Nothing. Truly nothing. In his final moments, Wei Chen could not think of much at all.
"Let it be. Death isn't so terrifying," Wei Chen thought quietly, a rare smile even curling at the corners of his mouth.
But just then, as his Stellar Power was completely exhausted, a warm and familiar force surged from his Dantian, instantly wrapping around him tightly.
That power was no less than that of the Fire Source. In fact, even the power of the Fire Source seemed to yield in its presence, as if it feared this force within Wei Chen.
It was the power of the Demon Lotus!
At this critical moment, when life and death hung in the balance, it was that magical Demon Lotus that saved Wei Chen's life?
"Am I not dead?"
“Demon Lotus, did you save me?”
“How could you withstand the power of Fire Source? You’re so strong!”
Wei Chen felt the presence of Demon Lotus enveloping his body, while the forces of Fire Source seemed to retreat on their own. Wei Chen was utterly shocked.
What the hell is going on?
Before he could think further, Wei Chen found himself in a hollow space filled with flames.
The temperature in that space was the highest among all the Fire Source.
The space he had imagined appeared, but it was the hottest environment, not the safe haven he had hoped for.
Fortunately, with Demon Lotus protecting him, a Black Lotus hovered above Wei Chen, and wherever it passed, even the terrifying flames actively dispersed.
A straight, seemingly endless giant passage appeared before Wei Chen.
Flames still filled the passage, but with Demon Lotus guarding him, Wei Chen felt no fear.
“Could that be where the Fire God sleeps?”
Wei Chen gritted his teeth. Since he was here, he couldn’t just leave without seeing anything.
He looked around; the giant passage was about a hundred feet high and wide, its length indiscernible. All he could see was flames burning fiercely, hotter and more terrifying than those above the Source of Fire Flower.
“Thank goodness Demon Lotus appeared in time to protect me; otherwise, I would have been doomed this time.”
“The temperature of the fire is so terrifying. What can my Stellar Power do? While Stellar Power can resist fire to some extent, it’s limited in quantity. There’s no way it can match the sheer volume of fire here.”
"Killing God Senior, this is the place where the Fire God resides. The flames here are incredibly intense; I fear that a large part of this fire is actually the Fire God's essence."
"The fire in Winning the Qin Divine Realm, compared to this, might not even be a fraction of its power."
"This kind of fire cannot be matched by human strength. Twelfth Level Deity... Heh, Uncle, Second Uncle, Great-Uncle Three—could they withstand this level of fire for even a second?"
"Ah, humans are determined to conquer, but in reality, there are things that no one can overcome."
Wei Chen squinted as he surveyed the passage, countless thoughts swirling in his mind.
Previously, driven by sheer willpower, he had plunged into the Source of Fire Flower without hesitation. Who would have thought that the power of the flames would be so overwhelming?
His Stellar Power lasted only a few breaths before being completely consumed by the fire. As he faced imminent death, he felt something strange—no regrets, no longing; it was empty, like a solitary soul drifting in the vast universe.
In an instant, without him realizing it, Wei Chen's Mental Strength surged dramatically, experiencing life and death in a fleeting moment. His Mental Strength intensity skyrocketed to the Ninth Level Divine Realm!
Yet even with such Mental Strength, he could not extend it into the passage; he could only rely on his eyesight to see what lay a hundred meters ahead.
"My Mental Strength has reached the Ninth Level Deity; this is an unexpected gain. It has been a long time since my Mental Strength experienced such a violent increase."
"Experiencing life and death can indeed enhance one's Mental Strength; it seems to have been validated."
"But what was I thinking just before I was about to die?"
"It seems I wasn't thinking about anything at all?"
"Calm to the point of being eerie?"
Wei Chen recalled that moment with a sense of lingering fear. However, fear aside, he was fine now; a new journey awaited him.
"Demon Lotus Emperor, what the hell is this Demon Lotus Bloodline you gave me?"
"Is it so powerful that even fire has to retreat in its presence?"
"Such might, isn't it stronger than Fire Source?"
Wei Chen pondered for a moment, speculating that the power level of the Demon Lotus was indeed greater than that of the Fire Source. However, the number of Demon Lotuses was vastly inferior to that of the Fire Source.
This stark contrast made it seem as if the Fire Source still held some fear towards the Demon Lotus, akin to a child scaring off a giant.
"Demon Lotus, oh Demon Lotus, what exactly are you?"
"Even fire is afraid of you?"
After quietly analyzing for a moment, Wei Chen no longer hesitated and walked into the passage.
...
At the peak of the Fire Clan Secret Realm, Fire Clan Leader, Fire Shadow, and the Fire Clan Elders anxiously awaited, while Shaohuang God King and Donghua along with their seven companions were equally frantic.
They were worried but felt utterly helpless. They had all witnessed Wei Chen plunge into the Source of Fire Flower. Fortunately, at that moment, Wei Chen did not turn to ashes but instead entered the interior of the Source of Fire Flower. This indicated that Stellar Power could indeed withstand a portion of the Fire Source's burning.
However, the strength of the Fire Source was unimaginable to Fire Clan Leader, Fire Shadow, and the other Elders. Shaohuang God King and his companions felt that the power of the Source of Fire Flower was incredibly formidable; while Wei Chen's Stellar Power could hold out for a moment, it surely couldn't last forever.
The power of the Fire Source could incinerate everything. Although Wei Chen's Stellar Power was impressive, in terms of magnitude compared to the Source of Fire Flower, how many times greater was the difference?
Shaohuang God King and his seven companions were in a state of panic; even Shaohuang God King himself found it hard to remain calm.
The usually composed Shaohuang God King was now visibly flustered.
"Everyone, Wei Chen is definitely in grave danger this time. The words he left before departing show that he himself has no confidence at all!" The Great Merchant God King paced back and forth, rubbing his fists together, anxiety etched on his face as a whirlwind of complex thoughts surged within him.
In his mind, if something really happened to Wei Chen, then there would be no good outcome; they might as well head back.
Listen to the Shaohuang God King’s orders? Don’t make him laugh; they were all Divine Kings—why should they?
The others, hearing the Great Merchant God King's words, felt anger at his pessimism, but it was also the truth, leaving them without even the desire to refute him.
The Shaohuang God King shot a cold glance at the Great Merchant God King and said, "Great Merchant God King, are you thinking of leaving again?"
"No, no, no... I didn’t mean that. Regardless of what happens, we must wait here for Wei Chen to come out or see his Soul Power extinguished. My words may sound harsh, but how much confidence do you all really have in Wei Chen's actions this time?"
"We're all in the same boat. None of us have any confidence in Wei Chen's reckless actions; even Wei Chen himself lacks confidence. I'm just brave enough to speak up. The truth is, only when Wei Chen is here can we seven unite as one. Without him, Shaohuang God King, do you really think you can lead us through the Endless Divine Realm?"
The Great Merchant God King was not wrong; everyone shared his concerns, though they were more reserved about expressing them. Moreover, while the Shaohuang God King had formidable swordsmanship and had received the divine stone from Wei Chen, his cold demeanor made him unsuitable as a leader.
Without Wei Chen, the team of seven led by the Shaohuang God King would soon fall apart—there was no doubt about it.
The Shaohuang God King sneered coldly and said, "Don't worry; Wei Chen will definitely return. And when he does, his combat power will be several levels stronger. Look, this is a trace of Mental Strength left by Wei Chen within the divine stone."
He held out the divine stone before the others. Through its shimmering surface, they could clearly see that the trace of Soul Power left by Wei Chen had grown thicker and more radiant.
"Great Merchant God King, can you now close your crow's mouth?" The Shaohuang God King looked at him with disdainful indifference.
