Chapter 3459 Red Flame Valley

Crimson Flame Valley, a place extremely famous throughout the Honghuang Heaven Domain, was almost identical to Flame Mountain.

However, this was not a mountain but a valley, a valley completely engulfed by a sea of fire.

The range of the flames was continuously shrinking into the valley, now only about ten miles wide.

The areas where the flames had receded were scorched earth, devoid of life, with even rocks reduced to black powder, indicating the terrifying temperature.

Even without the flames burning, the temperature here remained astonishingly high, unbearable for ordinary people.

Yet, despite this, hundreds of people had already gathered around Crimson Flame Valley, with the highest cultivation being a dozen Immortal Kings and the lowest being Great Supreme Immortals.

The temperature here was so high that even Great Spirit Immortals could not approach.

They all stared intently into the valley, eager to see what kind of treasure lay within.

When Ye Bufan and his companions arrived, they immediately attracted countless gazes.

Firstly, Jin Meier and the others were too stunning; secondly, Ye Bufan's cultivation was too low. Normally, a Great Spirit Immortal would be unable to endure the terrifying heat here.

But everyone only gave them a glance. At this moment, they were more interested in what good things were inside Crimson Flame Valley.

Ye Bufan did not approach too closely either; everyone stopped at the periphery.

After scanning the surroundings, he looked at Zhao Wuxiang beside him: “Which one is Yan Chixing of the Divine Fire Sect?”

He had previously read Qiao Tianyu's memories; the Divine Fire Sect was the main force coming to Crimson Flame Valley this time, and they were determined to obtain the heavenly flame fire crystal, making them the biggest opponent on this trip.

Zhao Wuxiang carefully examined them and whispered, “Young Master Ye, Yan Chixing is not among these people.”

“How could he not be here?”

Ye Bufan frowned slightly. Normally, the Divine Fire Sect inviting Xuanwu Gate for assistance should mean they would go all out, so why was he not seen?

However, these were just minor doubts; nothing could stop him from getting the heavenly flame fire crystal.

“Look quickly, the flames seem to be shrinking faster!”

At this moment, someone in the crowd shouted, and then everyone's gaze turned in unison.

They saw the flames in Crimson Flame Valley rapidly converging towards the center, as if something immense was attracting them.

About fifteen minutes later, the flames throughout Crimson Flame Valley had shrunk to an area of approximately one mile in diameter.

And within that overwhelming sea of fire, a small, faint bright spot appeared, about the size of a fist, looking somewhat dazzling within the flames, but its full appearance could not be clearly seen.

“This is the heavenly flame fire crystal!”

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, their voice filled with excitement.

Treasures like the heavenly flame fire crystal were an absolute blessing for fire-attribute Immortals; simply carrying it would make their Cultivation speed skyrocket like a rocket.

Even Immortals of other attributes could exchange it for a large amount of Cultivation resources, perhaps never having to worry about Immortal crystals for the rest of their lives.

Precisely because of this, after that loud shout, everyone was as if injected with adrenaline, cheering and extremely excited.

And at this moment, an old yet proud voice echoed throughout Crimson Flame Valley.

“Fellow Immortals, my previous prediction was correct; a heavenly flame fire crystal has indeed formed here. This is a treasure rarely seen in ten thousand years.”

Everyone's gaze turned in unison. The speaker was a tall old man in red robes, his aura hot and powerful, having clearly reached the Immortal King Middle Stage.

Among all the Immortal Kings present, his strength was considered among the top tier.

Fire Cloud Immortal King, a well-known powerhouse in Zixiao Heaven.

“Immortal King is truly resourceful…”

Several people accompanying him echoed his words.

Fire Cloud Immortal King continued, “The problem now is that we have the treasure, but how should it be distributed later?

After all, the formation of one heavenly flame fire crystal is an enormous stroke of luck; it's impossible for everyone to get a share.”

When he finished speaking, many people present felt as if cold water had been poured over them, and they immediately calmed down.

Although the heavenly flame fire crystal was good, with so many powerhouses eyeing it, how could they get their hands on it, or rather, get a piece of the pie?

“Immortal King, what do you suggest we do?”

The speaker was a middle-aged man in black robes beside him, the Central State Immortal King, whose strength was at the Immortal King Early Stage.

His words carried significant weight, as he also had an elder brother, the Pingzhou Immortal King, who had also come here today.

“Treasures are obtained by those with affinity, but the prerequisite is that you must also have the strength; otherwise, you don't even have the qualification.”

Fire Cloud Immortal King said, “I have a suggestion: those who have reached the Immortal King realm can stay, and everyone else should retreat. They simply do not have the qualification to share the heavenly flame fire crystal.”

“Immortal King is right!” As soon as he spoke, the dozen or so Immortal Kings beside him all agreed, and these people quickly reached a consensus.

The Central State Immortal King turned to look at the crowd present: “Did you all hear that? Those whose strength has not reached the Immortal King realm, retreat. This is not a place you can stay.”

The crowd present immediately burst into an uproar, each glaring angrily. They had been told that treasures were for those with affinity, so why were they not even given a chance to participate?

But most dared to be angry but not speak, after all, strength decided everything. Although there were only a dozen Immortal Kings present, their strength absolutely crushed the remaining Great Luo Immortals and Great Supreme Immortals.

However, there were also some straightforward individuals; a Great Luo Immortal in white robes stepped forward.

“I'm not convinced! Why? At least we should be given a chance to participate. Even if we die here, we will do so willingly.”

“You want to die? Then I'll grant your wish!”

The Central State Immortal King sneered coldly, raised his hand, and a black flame roared out, instantly engulfing the Great Luo Immortal in white robes.

That person struggled desperately, using all sorts of methods, but still could not extinguish the black flame.

Just like that, a dignified Great Luo Immortal slowly turned into ashes amidst painful wails.

The crowd present felt their scalps tingle, and they all turned and left, not daring to utter another word.

After all, strength was king; without that strength, staying here only meant waiting for death.

In almost the blink of an eye, more than half of the hundreds of Immortals present had left, leaving only a dozen or so behind.

The Central State Immortal King's lips curled into a smug smile, but suddenly his expression froze, his gaze falling upon a Young man not far away.

He was clearly only a Great Spirit Immortal at the Early Stage, yet he hadn't left; instead, he stood there with a calm expression.

“Boy, are you deaf? Didn't you hear me? Get lost quickly, this is not a place where you can continue to stay.”

Zhao Wuxiang stood behind Ye Bufan. He also hadn't left, and at this moment, he shook his head slightly.

Having just witnessed with his own eyes how Sect Leader Song Que of Xuanwu Gate had fallen, he naturally didn't put these lower-ranked Immortal Kings in his eyes.

And at this moment, seeing this Central State Immortal King, who didn't know his place, actually jumping out to provoke, he had already sentenced him to death in his heart.

Ye Bufan's goal was the heavenly flame fire crystal, so he naturally wouldn't leave. He sneered coldly, “This Crimson Flame Valley isn't your family's. Why should I leave?”
