Refining the Immortal Flame Flower, Burning Sky Valley undergoes tremendous changes!

“Let’s replenish some energy first.”

In the end, Lin Dong still lit a fire and boiled water, planning to eat the roasted chicken wings first to replenish his energy.

The Golden-Winged Great Peng race possesses powerful Physical Bodies and contains extremely rich essence, and the Little Peng King is a legendary Ancestral Bloodline.

For Lin Dong, it should be somewhat useful.

Skillfully, he put the chicken wings into the pan, plucked the feathers, and placed them on the grill.

Soon, a fragrant aroma wafted through the Immortal Cave, and Lin Dong, impatient, picked up a golden, oily chicken wing and began to gnaw on it.

“Fragrant!”

“The flesh and blood of an Archaic Yao Beast is indeed good.”

“The essence contained in its flesh and blood is not much worse than the Yao Emperor meat Fourth Senior Apprentice Sister made earlier.”

Lin Dong ate, nodding frequently, feeling pure energy surging into his limbs and bones, condensing into giant elephant particles within him.

In a flash, dozens of giant elephant particles were condensed, increasing his strength by hundreds of thousands of catties.

He also did not forget to praise his own cooking skills, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Even if he stopped Cultivating, he could still change professions in the future.

Lin Dong's mind stirred: “System, use one Daily Divine Power Card.”

System: [Ding! Host consumed sixth-grade Golden-Winged Great Peng meat, consumed Daily Divine Power Card x1, obtained Emperor Rank Divine Ability—Golden Peng Wings.]

Golden Peng Wings: When Cultivated to the extreme, a single flap of the wings can instantly fly ninety-eight thousand miles. Note: When Golden Peng Wings are activated, speed is increased by 200%.

“The speed increase is not bad.”

Lin Dong had not held too much hope, but the reward was still decent.

If he were to use his Line Character Secret to augment the Golden Peng Wings, his speed would likely be no weaker than a Royal Extremity Realm expert, providing him with an extra means of self-preservation in Qingzhou, a place full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers.

Next, Lin Dong prepared to devour the immortal flame flower.

Lin Dong did not want to use the Divine Power Cards; he wanted to Cultivate the remaining Divine Power Cards.

From the last time he used up his Divine Power Cards on the Sky-Intercepting Palm, to his journey to the Thatched Cottage, and until now, he had saved up almost a month's worth of Divine Power Cards.

26 cards.

His intuition told him that the depths of the Secret Realm would require these Divine Power Cards.

Especially the Emperor Flame, he felt that this item was specifically prepared for him…

Buzz!

A vibrant, blood-red flame flower appeared in the Immortal Cave, like a cluster of flames, illuminating the Immortal Cave.

Radiance flowed, and Law rippled.

Lin Dong grabbed it and immediately activated the Devouring Heaven Scripture to refine it.

The immense essence contained within the immortal flame flower surged madly into his body.

Lin Dong felt a hot current rush through his limbs and bones, his whole body becoming fiery, as if he were entirely immersed in molten lava and flames.

But the difference was that this heat came from within.

The essence of the immortal flame flower furiously tempered Lin Dong's Physical Body and cleansed his Divine Soul.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lin Dong immersed himself in Cultivation.

But what he didn't know was that while he was in a deep Cultivation state, the Immortal Cave began to tremble violently, and rumbling sounds of the earth shaking came from outside.

“Roar!”

“Rumble!”

It was as if some monstrous flood beast had erupted.

Between heaven and earth, invisible Dao patterns, profound and strange, appeared out of thin air, plundering the life of all creation.

“Hehehehe!”

“The Heaven-Severing Grand Formation has been set up!”

“Our Saint Fire Sect’s tens of thousands of years of planning will finally be realized today!”

“As long as we obtain the Emperor Flame, our sect will rise powerfully, becoming an Overlord-Grade existence in the Nine Provinces, and even advancing into the starry sky will not be impossible.”

At the same time, in the deepest part of Vatican Sky Valley, heaven and earth shook, and flames soared into the sky.

Terrifying Formation patterns silently enveloped the entire Vatican Sky Valley, and several King Realm experts wearing Saint Fire Sect robes laughed sinisterly.

A profound Formation enveloped heaven and earth.

This was the Heaven-Severing Grand Formation, which sealed off the entire Vatican Sky Valley, seizing the creation of heaven and earth. Any living being within the Formation would become nourishment.

It was a legendary Saint-Grade Grand Formation.

Several King Realm experts jointly presided over the Formation; even Royal Extremity Realm experts could be temporarily trapped.

And the Saint Fire Sect sealed off Vatican Sky Valley, as most Cultivators who came to this Secret Realm were Purple Palace Realm, at most King Realm Cultivators.

There was simply no way they could break through the Grand Formation and escape this place.

The Saint Fire Sect intended to refine all the Cultivators in the entire Vatican Sky Valley into nourishment.

And the Saint Fire Sect sacrificed all the Cultivators in Vatican Sky Valley precisely to weaken the Emperor Flame of Vatican Sky Valley.

This time, for the sake of the Emperor Flame, the Saint Fire Sect deployed all its Foundation, dozens of King Realm Foundations, fearing no one at all.

Ah…

Some weaker Purple Palace Realm Cultivators screamed, instantly refined into blood, and wisps of blood Qi drifted towards the Formation's core.

“Madmen!”

“You Saint Fire Sect members are all a bunch of madmen!”

“You harm the innocent, aren't you afraid of being condemned by the various Dao Lineages?”

A King Realm expert from an immortal great sect cursed, while simultaneously, with some other King Realm experts, attacked the Grand Formation.

But they found that the Grand Formation was indestructible.

The Saint Fire Sect's experts seemed to hear nothing; they had long anticipated such a result but still pressed forward resolutely.

As long as they obtained the Emperor Flame, what did it matter if they offended a few Dao Lineages?

…

At the same time, in an unknown Immortal Cave.

A blood-stained figure stumbled inside.

The Little Peng King's aura was faint, and his blood-red eyes were as devouring as a demon's: “Lin Dong, this King will kill you…”

He was the Young Supreme of the Golden-Winged Great Peng race.

Since his birth, he had never tasted defeat.

But today, he was truly defeated too miserably; two Young Supremes ganged up on Lin Dong, yet still lost.

To flee in such a sorry state in front of so many Cultivators was something he had never experienced; for him, it was an immense humiliation.

Lin Dong would become his Heart Demon; if he did not kill Lin Dong, he would have no hope of achieving Dao in this life.

Hmm?

Suddenly, the Little Peng King seemed to sense a familiar aura and looked towards the depths of the Immortal Cave, only to see a golden skeleton lying on the ground.

“Hahaha!”

“Heaven never seals off all exits!”

“This is an ancestor of my Golden-Winged Great Peng!”

“Its bone marrow contains rich Saint Blood.”

“As long as I refine it, my injuries will heal, and my Physical Body Cultivation will even be sublimated. Slaying Dao and becoming King is just the beginning.”

Inside the Immortal Cave, the Little Peng King's laughter echoed.

Lin Dong, just you wait! As long as this King becomes King and slays Dao, I will certainly wash away today's humiliation!

…

As time passed, the commotion outside the Immortal Cave gradually subsided.

Lin Dong also gradually refined the immortal flame flower, his aura soaring, and a fiery glow rising into the sky as he Breakthrough to Purple Palace Realm Seventh Layer.

He once again condensed over a thousand Divine Elephant embryos, increasing his strength by tens of millions of catties.

A treasure medicine that could allow a King Realm Cultivator to Breakthrough a major Realm only allowed Lin Dong to Breakthrough a few minor Realms.

It was evident that after Lin Dong received the Heavenly Dao's blessing, the strength of his Foundation was probably unprecedented throughout history.

Lin Dong opened his eyes, a fiery glow flashing in his pupils, his whole body filled with a powerful aura, and his overall combat power increased by several levels.

“Now, I am probably invincible among King Realm Cultivators.”

Lin Dong muttered to himself: “Among the younger generation, I can no longer find any opponent!”

He stood up, his black hair wildly dancing, his posture tall and straight, his skin as clear as jade, every inch of his flesh and blood containing incredibly violent power.

His entire being exuded an invincible aura.

The next moment, Lin Dong restrained his aura and slowly walked out of the Immortal Cave, “I wonder if anything has happened outside during these few days of seclusion.”

Lin Dong walked along, initially not discovering anything unusual.

It wasn't until he had walked several thousand miles that Lin Dong noticed a problem: it was quiet, too quiet.

There were no fights.

He had walked several thousand miles, yet saw no one.

Lin Dong wondered: “Why are there so few people? Could something unusual have happened in Vatican Sky Valley?”

…
