Chapter 1668: The True Origin of Fire

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Seeing two Jiang Chens appear in front of them, Shen Xingchen and the others were pretty shocked.

However, they didn’t show it on their faces. They, like lots of other people, already knew that Jiang Chen possessed a practicing body.

Now the miserable state of the practicing body made them wonder what enemy he’d faced to be in such a state.

While the practicing body had been busy, a group of people had followed the Fire Kylin in their search for the origin of fire.

They were walking on the edge of a cliff, and, in front of them, there was an abyss.

“I can guarantee that the spot we’re looking for is right down there,” said the Fire Kylin.

Jiang Chen didn’t seem to be listening to the Fire Kylin. His thoughts were still on the black robed man.

“Let’s go down and look for it.” Noticing that Jiang Chen looked troubled, Shen Xingchen took charge and made a decision.

The abyss was in total darkness, which was good news, because that meant that there were no fire monsters here.

Yang Zong gathered an energy wave and blasted it toward the abyss. It surged through the abyss, making a great deal of noise, but there were still so signs of those pesky fire monsters.

Therefore, they decided to go ahead and explore the abyss.

Jiang Chen let out a long breath. Words couldn’t express his feelings. The formation of a crack had resulted in the arrival of the blood race. This sounded very serious, but, in reality, it wasn’t.

Jiang Chen assumed that the crack must be extremely small, only allowing one member of the blood race to come out at a time.

Otherwise, since all the other races were unified, why hadn’t there been any rumors or sightings of the blood race at all.

However, no matter what kind of spin you put on it, the blood race had invaded again. This meant that a catastrophe was coming soon.

Especially now that one of his practicing bodies had been killed, he felt rather uneasy.

He’d managed to resist the palm strike of the black robed man. However, the thing that had struck Jiang Chen the most was that the opponent’s palm strength ignored defense, and it had no apparent destructive force. Yet, it had the ability to make someone wither away. It was really incredible.

“Was this the blood race’s new means of offense?”

The strength of the blood race was that they could easily learn and steal the powers of every race.

Martial techniques, sorcery, spirit methods, and more could all be practiced by the blood race.

However, to be considered a race, it must also possess its own power system.

Unfortunately, his eight groups of spiritual beings were not around. Jiang Chen really wanted to have a talk and clear things up with the Evil Blood Emperor.

Soon, he stopped pondering and adjusted his mood. Then he jumped into the abyss and began to search with everyone else.

“It’s here!”

Not long after, Wen Qing made a discovery. Near a precipice, there was a dilapidated palace. Even the panels on the main door were gone.

The whole palace looked as if it had been occupied by a giant. The broken main door had been enlarged so that it was big enough to accommodate a horse carriage.

Jiang Chen and the others entered by the main door. Immediately they came across a hall lined with stone pillars that were tens of yards tall.

If the palace hadn’t been falling down and almost destroyed, this would have been a magnificent sight.

The Fire Kylin, who was walking in the front leading the way, came to the center of the palace.

He signaled to Jiang Chen, who then saw a symbol of a flame imprinted on a dented stone brick on the ground.

Jiang Chen’s interest was piqued. He pressed his Vulcan ring onto the brick. As expected, it fit perfectly.

KA! KA! KA!

After that, all of them could feel a rumbling sound as something was being activated under their feet.

“Stand back.” The Fire Kylin warned everyone.

Just as he’d just finished his sentence, the center of the stone brick started sinking. In the blink of an eye, a secret passage leading downward appeared.

Jiang Chen and the others looked down at the passage without thinking. All of a sudden, a blazing flame rushed straight out of the passage.

Everyone felt a sting in their eyes, but that was not the most important point: the blazing flame coming out of the passage had turned the palace into an oven.

It seemed as if fire would be spurting up any time and anywhere.

“The origin of fire has gone out of control. If you still want to grab some, you will be taking a big risk,” said the Fire Kylin anxiously.

Jiang Chen nodded. He asked everyone to wait where they were, and he went into the passage.

After he’d gone down, the stone brick closed up once again. The temperature of the palace lowered; it was no longer at the boiling point. Shen Xingchen and the others let out a long sigh.

“So that’s it?” Some of them looked at each other, feeling disappointed. This treasure hunt had been too dull for them.

They hadn’t really been necessary at any time during the whole trip. They’d really only been like laborers who’d been recruited by Jiang Chen for large-scale searches.

To someone who bore high expectations, there would be an inevitable sense of disappointment.

Although Shen Xingchen was here for the reward also, according to previous cases, every treasure that was retrieved would be split equally.

“The furious fire in the passage just now has made it clear. We are unable to endure the fire if we go down. We are only able to be spectators for this treasure hunt.”

“Ugh, I really wanted to become a Venerable Sovereign as soon as possible.”

“The longer it takes, the less treasures will appear.”

However, no matter how discontented they were, they had to accept their fate in terms of power levels.

.....

In the passage, Jiang Chen was struggling to move. The Fire Kylin, on the other hand, had sensibly returned to the Vulcan ring.

“Didn’t you say that after burning for many years, the might of the true origin of fire had decreased by a lot?” Jiang Chen was enduring the pain as best as he could. He couldn’t sprint in the passage due to the resistance formed by the heat wave.

“Yes, this is the weakened origin of fire.”

“Doesn’t that mean then that when it’s at full power anyone would burn to death in an instant?” Jiang Chen grumbled.

“But then it wouldn’t be out of control.”

“F*ck.”

Jiang Chen never thought that he would forget that fact.

“How much longer is this passage?” he asked.

“A few hundred yards.”

“What was the point of you making it so deep?”

Jiang Chen couldn’t stop grumbling. This passage wasn’t something that an ordinary person could endure.

“If even the Ten Golden Crows call you big brother, why are you still afraid of a weakened origin of fire?”

The Fire Kylin was resting leisurely in the Vulcan ring as he started ridiculing Jiang Chen.

“Even if they call me big brother, I still have to keep on training.”

“All right, all right, don’t talk anymore. In the shape you’re in right now, you definitely won’t be able to reach the end. Start training based on the Fire God Scripture that I gave you,” said the Fire Kylin.

Jiang Chen understood, but he didn’t use the Fire God Scripture. Instead, he started practicing the Undead Holy Bird for the third time, which was a manual passed down by the Celestial Phoenix.

The last time he’d wanted to rise from the ashes, he’d needed to condense a vast bloody sea into the Undead Holy Bird.

This process had been extremely long. He wouldn’t have achieved it even if he’d died last time. He got out of that situation only due to the help of the Will of the Natural Law.

In fact, the first time he’d risen from the ashes was under the condition of the Doctrine Heart of the Devil, where his luck coincidentally met the requirements.

Jiang Chen had never succeeded in this practicing before. It was no easy task. Life and death were not child’s play. It couldn’t be achieved easily.

Anyway, Jiang Chen operated the manual and did actually reduce the pain caused by the roaring flames. He’d almost fused with the fire in the passage.

He felt more ablaze every step he took. Golden flames started gushing out of his body.

In the end, Jiang Chen’s law of fire turned out to be improving.

When he’d successfully reached the end, there was a small enclosed house, which had a jade bottle floating in the air.

The surface of the jade bottle was filled with cracks. Some parts of it were even broken. Unlimited fire energy was flowing out of the bottle.

“Ha, ha, ha, ha, Jiang Chen, you’ve been tricked! That’s right! I still want to take over your body and become the Fire Emperor.”

Unexpectedly, the maniacal laughter of the Fire Kylin could be heard from the Vulcan ring.

However, Jiang Chen didn’t budge, and there were signs of indifference all over his face.

The Fire Kylin’s laughter stopped after a while. After a weird silence, he said awkwardly, “How did you know I was trying to trick you?”
