Chapter 4639: Fourth-Level Immortal Flame (None Today)

In a vast, boundless black forest, a deafening roar echoed. A massive golden light surged skyward, shaking the ground violently as powerful air currents uprooted countless trees and dust filled the air.

A golden streak of light shot out from deep within the forest, moving incredibly fast. However, before it could travel much distance, a powerful spatial force emerged, trapping it in mid-air.

The light dissipated, revealing a tall man in a golden robe. His right arm was gone, his eyes wide with terror, and his aura was weak.

Golden light flared from his body. Just then, a long spear, swirling with black light, shot towards him, striking the man in the golden robe. A dull clang of metal on metal echoed.

A blur of motion swept past, and a beast-humanoid nine-colored Chaos Beast instantly appeared before the man in the golden robe. It unleashed a punch, smashing into the man's chest. A black halo swept out, enveloping the golden-robed man's body.

The man's chest caved in, and his face contorted in pain. His body trembled uncontrollably. A thick black iron chain shot forward, piercing through his chest and sealing his immortal power.

“Soul Law!”

The man's voice trembled.

Li and three nine-colored Chaos Beasts approached, their expressions icy.

“Tell us why you came to the Immortal Chaos Tomb, and we will spare your life,” Li stated.

“To encounter a King Beast again, I suppose I'm unlucky.”

The man in the golden robe looked resolute, as if he embraced death.

“Ju, take him. We’ll interrogate him slowly back at base. If we encounter other immortals, he can also serve as a shield.”

“Heh heh, with our strength, unless we encounter a Grand Luo Golden Immortal who has cultivated a peak immortal physique, no one else is our match.”

Ju, full of confidence, tied the man in the golden robe to himself.

Unable to use his immortal power, the man in the golden robe found even suicide difficult.

“Let's hurry to our destination! We need to secure the item to avoid further complications,” Li instructed. The five Chaos Beasts then dashed deeper into the forest.

In a vast, boundless volcanic region, a massive red fire cloud hovered high above, its temperature astonishingly high.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Tunian walked through a narrow red canyon, their pace unhurried.

Passing through the red canyon, they emerged before a towering, steep red peak, black smoke plumed from its summit.

They were searching for the set of immortal artifacts. They had found three so far, with possibly three more remaining.

Wang Tunian discovered one in a pool of subterranean fire.

Wang Changsheng's right foot pulsed with a dazzling white halo, which rapidly expanded. Wherever the white halo spread, the ground began to freeze. The ice layer, now about ten feet thick, spread towards the mountaintop.

The red peak trembled violently. A crimson light shot from its summit, transforming into an enormous scarlet fire dragon. It lunged towards Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

Wherever the scarlet fire dragon passed, the ice layer completely melted.

“Fourth-grade Immortal Flame!”

Wang Changsheng was filled with both surprise and delight. Allowing the Glazed Ice Flame to refine this fourth-grade immortal flame would significantly boost his artifact forging efficiency.

Wang Ruyan's right hand grasped at the void, and a powerful spatial force surged forth. The scarlet fire dragon halted in mid-air. Its body glowed with intense red light, and numerous cracks appeared in the surrounding space, unable to withstand the immense heat.

A massive blue fist shot forward, striking the scarlet fire dragon.

With a thunderous roar, the scarlet fire dragon's body exploded, shattering into multiple clusters of crimson flames. These flames attempted to coalesce, but were held captive by the potent spatial force.

A snow-blue fire phoenix flew in, devouring some of the flames. Wang Changsheng then conjured a massive, continuously glowing blue cauldron, which emitted a stream of blue mist, collecting the remaining flames.

The fourth-grade immortal flame was a powerful supplement for the Glazed Ice Flame. It could only be absorbed in multiple stages. Without a physical body, this fourth-grade immortal flame was utterly powerless against Wang Changsheng.

With this peak as the center, an area spanning two hundred thousand li was frozen solid.

Wang Changsheng, Wang Ruyan, and Wang Tunian reached the mountaintop, where they saw a frozen pond.

Wang Changsheng released Wang Yang, instructing him to fly into the subterranean fire pool to search for the flying dagger.

Shortly after, Wang Yang flew out of the subterranean fire pool, holding a continuously glowing yellow flying dagger. The blade had several small cracks, but relatively speaking, this dagger was the best preserved of them all.

A deafening roar resonated from afar, as a massive green light shot skyward, highly conspicuous.

Wang Tunian's eyes glowed with dazzling yellow light, as he gazed into the distance.

“Two immortals were hunted down by nine-colored Chaos Beasts; they've been killed, and their Nascent Souls devoured. There are two nine-colored Chaos Beasts.”

Wang Tunian said.

“Chaos Beasts! Immortals! Let's go, we should investigate.”

Wang Changsheng said.

They headed towards the source of the green light, though not at full speed.

In an open clearing, a beast-humanoid nine-colored Chaos Beast and another nine-colored Chaos Beast resembling a swallow were conversing. Two mangled, bloody corpses lay on the ground.

“None of them had cultivated an immortal physique, yet they dared to enter the Immortal Chaos Tomb. They clearly overestimated themselves.”

The beast-humanoid nine-colored Chaos Beast sneered.

“And you? Did you overestimate yourself too?”

A cold male voice rang out.

No sooner had the words faded than a blur of motion swept past. Wang Changsheng appeared before the nine-colored Chaos Beast, six golden fists sprouted from his back, and his right fist slammed towards the Chaos Beast.

The nine-colored Chaos Beast showed no fear, swinging its right fist to meet Wang Changsheng's.

The two fists collided. The nine-colored Chaos Beast let out a pained shriek as its arm fractured. Wang Changsheng's fist then slammed into its head, causing blood to gush forth.

“Peak immortal physique!”

The other nine-colored Chaos Beast exclaimed in shock. They were King Beasts; even if the opponent had cultivated an immortal physique, it should be impossible to kill its companion with a single strike—unless it was a peak immortal physique.

With a slight flap of its wings, it darted away.

A powerful spatial force surged forth, trapping it in place.

The nine-colored Chaos Beast's eyes turned blood red. Dazzling nine-colored spiritual light burst from its body, a sign of its Berserk Divine Ability!

The spatial force weakened considerably, and it regained its freedom. Wang Changsheng instantly appeared before it, and his right fist slammed towards its head.

With no way to evade, the nine-colored Chaos Beast opened its mouth and unleashed a golden sound wave. Simultaneously, its Chaos Battle Armor materialized, shielding its entire body.

A blue light barrier shimmered into existence around Wang Changsheng's body. The golden sound wave swept across the blue light barrier, causing ripples to spread across it, before the sound wave dissipated.

Wang Changsheng's eight fists successively pummeled the nine-colored Chaos Beast's head. The Chaos Battle Armor developed numerous cracks, then shattered into fragments. With its Chaos Battle Armor destroyed, the beast perished.

A black halo bloomed from his right palm. A miniature Chaos Beast flew out from his body, and performed a soul-searching secret technique.

“Qiyan Royal Tribe!”

Wang Changsheng frowned, a thoughtful expression gracing his face.

These two King Beasts originated from the Qiyan Royal Tribe. They had entered the Immortal Chaos Tomb in search of treasures. Previously, they had encountered three Grand Luo Golden Immortals, killing two and letting one escape. Now, they had encountered another Grand Luo Golden Immortal, who also met their end at their hands.

Wang Ruyan also arrived, holding three storage bracelets. These had been retrieved from the corpse of the other Chaos Beast.

They took out the items from the storage bracelets: over fifty supreme-grade immortal essence stones, one supreme-grade immortal artifact, and two complete sets of high-grade immortal artifacts. None of them had been refined into Primordial Chaos Spirit Treasures.

They also found a golden beast hide, with the characters “Xianhun” inscribed. It depicted mountains and rivers, with certain locations marked by text.

“A map of the Immortal Chaos Tomb!”

Wang Ruyan's face lit up with joy; this was exactly what they desperately needed.

“Is there anything at this location?”

Wang Changsheng pointed to a spot on the map and asked. This location had a golden mark, the only one of its kind on the entire map, which otherwise primarily featured red markings.

They carefully examined the locations, realizing some were places they had already traversed. The red-marked areas all indicated restrictions or forbidden zones.

“Red markings indicate restrictions, while the golden marking likely signifies something valuable. Otherwise, there wouldn't be just one golden mark.”

Wang Ruyan analyzed.

“It could also be an exceptionally powerful restriction. Whether it's a restriction or a treasure, we'll know once we investigate. Having this map makes our work much more convenient.”

Wang Changsheng said.

They collected the Chaos Beast's corpse, left the area, and proceeded towards the golden-marked location.
