Tales of Demons And Gods

Such intense fire aura was even slightly suppressing to Nie Li.

"This fire power is actually quite helpful for restoring my cultivation," Goddess Yu Yan appeared beside Nie Li, her face showing surprise.

She touched the surrounding stone walls with her right hand. Terrifying fiery sparkles immediately flowed along her arm into her body, making her hair and robes flutter instantly. On her crystal-clear divine body, faint streaks of crimson light flowed, extremely dazzling.

"Nie Li, I feel the fire power in my body awakening,"

Goddess Yu Yan turned around excitedly, looking at Nie Li with excitement. This place was simply perfect for her.

As Goddess Yu Yan turned, her movement was a bit vigorous. With her robes fluttering, some private areas of skin were faintly revealed before Nie Li's eyes.

Pfft!

Nie Li's eyes bulged, his nose directly spurting two streams of blood. He hurriedly covered his nose, "Ahem, Sister Yu Yan, shouldn't you pay attention to your image?"

"Ah!" Goddess Yu Yan's face reddened, and she hurriedly let go of her arms, pressing down her fluttering long skirt. She angrily chided, "Nie Li, where are you looking?"

That angry look, like a young woman, was especially bright and radiant, full of vitality.

Nie Li: "…"

It was clearly Goddess Yu Yan herself who accidentally exposed herself, what did it have to do with him?

But he also knew that if he dared to say so at this time, his head would definitely be smashed in. He hurriedly scratched his head and laughed foolishly, "Sister Yu Yan, this is just the outskirts of the Divine Flame Pool. If you want to cultivate, we should hurry inside."

"Right, let's hurry in."

At this moment, Goddess Yu Yan was also interested in this Divine Flame Pool.

*Wooooooosh!*

She burrowed into Nie Li's collar. Thinking of the previous scene, her face couldn't help but blush shyly.

Nie Li put aside his fantasies and quickly carried the platter inward. After a moment, a huge cave appeared before his eyes.

This was an incredibly massive cave, at least a thousand feet high. On the entire cave, red molten flame patterns wandered. At the nodes of these molten flame patterns, pieces of completely golden-red crystals were inlaid. These crystals were arranged in a special structure throughout, connected to each other, as if forming a large array, emitting bright and dim light.

In the central position of this cave, there was a huge red vortex. Terrifying fire aura constantly dissipated from the vortex, which led to unknown depths of the void.

"What this fire vortex leads to should be the Divine Flame Pool," Nie Li secretly looked at the distant fire vortex.

Above this fire vortex, there were layers of strange barriers. These barriers were formed from the power dissipating from the Divine Flame Pool, extremely formidable.

Hundreds of feet away from the entrance vortex of the Divine Flame Pool, there was a stone platform. On that stone platform was a completely red molten flame lounge chair. On the chair sat a mighty figure emitting a terrifying aura, with waves of frightening aura emanating from his body, forming shocking air vortexes in the surroundings.

One could see that the terrifying Martial Ancestor aura around him formed into vortexes. With his breathing, streams of fire aura constantly entered and exited his nostrils.

"Hierarch Blacknether? This is trouble." Seeing the figure on the molten flame chair, Nie Li's pupils contracted, and he couldn't help but inwardly groan.

He had thought that after entering the Divine Flame Pool cave, he could easily enter its interior. Now it seemed that to enter the Divine Flame Pool, he must first break through the barrier above the Divine Flame Pool before he could enter.

This was bad enough, but the most crucial point was that Hierarch Blacknether of the Fire Spiritual Hall was also guarding here.

Hierarch Blacknether was the most unreasonable Martial Ancestor in the Demon God's Sect, with formidable strength and unpredictable moods. Back in the Void Illusionary Divine Palace, Nie Li was almost targeted by him. In front of such a Martial Ancestor, it was simply impossible to enter the Divine Flame Pool silently.

"What should we do?" Nie Li's mind quickly turned, with various thoughts flashing through.

Even though Goddess Yu Yan had recovered a lot of her strength and could fight against this Hierarch Blacknether, once his identity was exposed here, deep in this Fire Spiritual Hall, there was simply nowhere to escape.

"Punk, where did you come from?"

At this moment, a low shout sounded. At the bottom of that stone platform, around the cave, there were several strong powerhouses from the Fire Spiritual Hall. These powerhouses had extraordinary auras, all of them being high-level experts at the Heavenly Fate realm and Dao of Dragon realm.

The one who spoke was a burly powerhouse among them.

"This humble one is here to deliver Fire Spirit Crystals." Nie Li hurriedly came to his senses, flew over, and bowed his head extremely humbly.

"Hmph, then hurry over, what are you standing there for?" That burly powerhouse coldly snorted, glaring at Nie Li, taking the platter from his hand, and respectfully said to Hierarch Blacknether above, "Lord Blacknether, the Fire Spirit Crystals have arrived."

"Hmm!"

Hierarch Blacknether opened his eyes from cultivation, countless fire auras were sucked into his nostrils like a whale absorbing water. As his eyes opened and closed, it was as if lightning flashed in the void, a terrifying aura like a mountain range spread out, instantly suppressing everyone present.

Nie Li was secretly alarmed. The strength of this Hierarch Blacknether seemed to have increased compared to back in the Void Illusionary Divine Palace.

Hierarch Blacknether's gaze swept over the tray in that powerhouse's hand, a powerful divine sense passed over, and he said, "Quickly replenish the Fire Spirit Crystals. This time, many geniuses have entered the Divine Flame Pool, causing particularly strong energy fluctuations.

Do not let the Fire Origin Sky Sealing Array stop operating, otherwise, if the Divine Flame Pool energy leaks, our entire Fire Spiritual Hall will suffer."

"Yes!"

That powerhouse bowed respectfully, then turned around and waved his hand. Immediately, many powerhouses followed, "Come with me to replenish the Fire Spirit Crystals."

"You come too," he glanced at Nie Li and said coldly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A group of powerhouses immediately flew up, hovering above the Divine Flame Pool. That powerhouse raised his hand, and immediately many Fire Spirit Crystals scattered and flew, falling into the hands of various powerhouses. Nie Li also had a dozen or so Fire Spirit Crystals in his hand.

These Fire Spirit Crystals were filled with scorching aura, and there were also streams of space power within them, extremely magical.

"Everyone, check the Fire Spirit Crystals at each node of the Fire Origin Sky Sealing Array. If you see Fire Spirit Crystals about to be depleted of energy, replace them with new ones. We must not let the Fire Origin Sky Sealing Array's operation become sluggish," the leading powerhouse said in a loud voice, quickly checking at the top of the cave.

Nie Li also mixed in with the crowd, coming to the top of the cave.

"Nie Li, what should we do now?" Goddess Yu Yan, shrunk and hiding in Nie Li's collar, secretly transmitted her voice to inquire.

"To enter this Divine Flame Pool, it seems we'll have to force our way in," Nie Li said while pretending to check the Fire Origin Sky Sealing Array around him, glancing at the distant Hierarch Blacknether.

"Force our way in?" Goddess Yu Yan was startled.

Nie Li nodded, glancing at the barrier below, pondering, "But we need to find a way to break through the barrier below first."

Goddess Yu Yan looked down, frowning, "This barrier is extraordinarily powerful. Even a Martial Ancestor couldn't break it open quickly, let alone with Hierarch Blacknether watching here."

The barrier formed by the Divine Flame Pool below was definitely at the Martial Ancestor level. Even with her strength, it would take some effort to break it open, and there simply wasn't enough time.

Nie Li's gaze moved, sweeping over the other Fire Spiritual Hall experts around. He saw them carefully checking the Fire Spirit Crystals around, each concentrating on repairing.

Then, Nie Li's gaze fell on the Fire Origin Sky Sealing Array above, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "There is a way."

"What way?" Goddess Yu Yan's eyes lit up as she asked.

"We can use this Fire Origin Sky Sealing Array!" Nie Li said while soaring upwards, taking the Fire Spirit Crystals in his hand and quickly arranging them on the array above.

His palm swept across the array patterns, and the patterns above immediately revealed a hint of strange light, being secretly adjusted.

"You are…" Goddess Yu Yan asked curiously.

"This Fire Origin Sky Sealing Array is a top-tier array guarding the Divine Flame Pool, capable of suppressing the fire aura dissipating from the Divine Flame Pool.

Without this Fire Origin Sky Sealing Array's suppression, with the fire aura from the Divine Flame Pool constantly dissipating over thousands of years, the area where the Fire Spiritual Hall is located would probably have been scorched earth long ago."

Nie Li explained while secretly acting, "What I'm doing now is slightly altering the inscription structure of this Fire Origin Sky Sealing Array, to make it help me open the barrier of this Divine Flame Pool."

Hearing Nie Li's words, Goddess Yu Yan couldn't help but reveal a strange look. This kid Nie Li knew too many things, and she didn't know where he had learned them from.

That kind of profound knowledge sometimes fascinated even Goddess Yu Yan. This was a boy full of secrets.

While Nie Li was secretly arranging the Fire Origin Sky Sealing Array.

On the stone platform.

Hierarch Blacknether narrowed his eyes, staring at the Divine Flame Pool vortex in front.

The Sect Master has been in seclusion for years, not managing sect affairs at all. Now the Demon God's Sect has been controlled by that old hag Phoenix Feather and a few others. I, the mighty Hierarch Blacknether, actually have to take orders from a woman, it's really ridiculous.

Hierarch Blacknether's eyes flickered. Hmph, this time the Divine Flame Pool opened with abnormal fluctuations, it's very likely that the rumored treasure is about to emerge. If Li Huo can obtain it, our Fire Spiritual Hall will surely suppress the other major Spiritual Halls and become the strongest force in the Demon God's Sect.

Then I'd like to see how that old hag Phoenix Feather can still be arrogant in front of me.

Hierarch Blacknether coldly laughed while raising his head to look at the many Fire Spiritual Hall powerhouses busy repairing in front, I wonder how Li Huo is cultivating inside… Hm?

Suddenly, his gaze fell on Nie Li, and his brows couldn't help but furrow.

Others couldn't see what Nie Li was doing, but Hierarch Blacknether was a true Martial Ancestor level powerhouse. He saw at a glance that when Nie Li was replacing the Fire Spirit Crystals, he seemed to be doing something on the stone walls.

"Punk, what are you doing?"

Hierarch Blacknether suddenly stood up. Boom, a terrifying Martial Ancestor aura burst out from his body, his divine sense suddenly sweeping out, locking onto Nie Li in the air above the cave entrance.

And the situation here instantly attracted the attention of other powerhouses.

Not good, I've been discovered.

Nie Li was inwardly startled, but he wasn't panicked at all. Having been prepared early, he raised his hand and instantly threw out many Fire Spirit Crystals.

These Fire Spirit Crystals seemed to have intelligence, instantly embedding themselves in the stone walls above the cave. With a hum, as these Fire Spirit Crystals fell, the entire Fire Origin Sky Sealing Array directly lit up, a terrifying array pattern light rapidly forming and circulating.

"You dare to do something improper under my nose? You have a death wish."

Hierarch Blacknether shouted angrily, a powerful thought enveloping the entire cave. At this moment, everyone in the cave felt a terrifying pressure.

Among them, Nie Li naturally felt the strongest pressure.

"Let's go!" Nie Li said under his breath, the power in his body erupting, resisting Hierarch Blacknether's mental suppression while his figure rapidly flew towards the Divine Flame Pool barrier below.

Hierarch Blacknether glanced at Nie Li and coldly snorted. "Still want to run? You have no idea!"

Hierarch Blacknether coldly snorted, a palm force striking towards Nie Li.

*Boom!*

Hierarch Blacknether coldly snorted, a palm force striking towards Nie Li.

"Nie Li, let me block it for you…"

Goddess Yu Yan hurriedly spoke, about to fly out from Nie Li's body.

"No need, quickly hide, it's not time to expose yourself yet, I'll handle it myself."

Nie Li hurriedly stopped Goddess Yu Yan. In the crisis, he quickly crossed his arms in front of his body, forcibly blocking this palm.

With a bang, the terrifying palm force swept over. Nie Li's robes exploded, his whole body in severe pain. Under this palm, his entire person was directly blasted away, feeling as if all the bones in his body had been dislocated.

Hierarch Blacknether's power was too strong. With one strike, Nie Li was directly injured.

Which clan is this punk from? To have such defense, actually taking on my strike?

Hierarch Blacknether frowned slightly, revealing a surprised look.

His palm force actually couldn't blast Nie Li apart. Although it was just a casual strike earlier, it was still not something an ordinary demon race powerhouse could block.

However, he was only surprised for a moment before his big hand once again reached out to grab Nie Li.

A mere demon disciple was like an ant in his eyes; there was no room for escape.

*Boom!*

A terrifying large hand floated in the air, carrying a heart-palpitating power, once again locking onto Nie Li.
