"Retreat!"

"We need to pull back to a safe area and observe the Red-Crowned Fire Python's movements!"

As soon as she saw that the Green Flame Grass had indeed been lit, Ruan Yuan immediately spoke up, and she, along with Chen Bi and He Ye, swiftly flew away from the area where the Green Flame Grass was located.

Just after they had left, the scent of the Green Flame Grass had already spread to the region where the Red-Crowned Fire Python was lying on the ground outside the Flame Lotus Pond.

When it smelled the fishy scent of the Green Flame Grass, the previously motionless Red-Crowned Fire Python, as if stimulated, suddenly lifted its head from the ground. Its red crown even flashed with strange lights.

Instantly after that moment, the Red-Crowned Fire Python seemed to have located the position of the Green Flame Grass,

Whoosh!

It was as if a streak of light shot through the void; the Red-Crowned Fire Python traveled hundreds of miles through the void and landed near the Green Flame Grass.

With a "boom," the massive body of the Red-Crowned Fire Python slammed to the ground.

Strangely, the Red-Crowned Fire Python seemed to be extremely fond of the Green Flame Grass, not touching it in the slightest.

It coiled its body into a bunch, assuming a peculiar pose, and started cultivating right next to the Green Flame Grass—inhaling its scent on one side and cultivating on the other!

Tens of miles away from the Red-Crowned Fire Python and the Green Flame Grass, Ruan Yuan, Chen Bi, and He Ye were carefully concealing their bodies and stealthily lurking.

Seeing the Red-Crowned Fire Python actually being lured away from the vicinity of the Flame Lotus Pond by the Green Flame Grass and beginning to cultivate near it, Ruan Yuan, Chen Bi, and He Ye looked at each other and were so overjoyed they almost shouted out loud.

The three excitedly communicated with each other, "It worked; we really managed to lure the Red-Crowned Fire Python out!"

"Looking at it like that, it won't return to the Flame Lotus Pond area for a while. Now, it's all down to whether Ye Chen, Dongfang Xuanyi, and Wang Chen can seize this moment to harvest the Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds!"

While the three of them were excitedly watching the Red-Crowned Fire Python cultivate near the Green Flame Grass, anxiously anticipating Ye Chen and the others' actions,

On the other side.

Ye Chen, Dongfang Xuanyi, and Wang Chen, under the cover of the True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe, had already snuck back near the Flame Lotus Pond.

Seeing that the Red-Crowned Fire Python had not discovered them and had left the Flame Lotus Pond under the influence of the Green Flame Grass, Ye Chen, Dongfang Xuanyi, and Wang Chen were also thrilled.

They had not anticipated that the operation would go so unexpectedly smoothly!

"Hurry up and pluck the Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds!"

"The Red-Crowned Fire Python will finish absorbing the scent of the Green Flame Grass soon enough if it keeps inhaling it. We need to collect the Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds as quickly as possible!"

As soon as Dongfang Xuanyi finished speaking, he, along with Wang Chen and Ye Chen, transformed into three streaks of lightning, rapidly flying towards the eight lotus pods inside the Flame Lotus Pond.

The three of them exerted their combat power and struck towards the roots below the eight lotus pods.

These eight lotus pods of the Fire Elemental Lotus Seed were incredibly tough; likely even ordinary Middle God Kings would not be able to damage the pods in the slightest.

But Ye Chen, Dongfang Xuanyi, and Wang Chen were not ordinary individuals.

With their combat power surging, Ye Chen directly chopped off the roots of three pods, collecting a total of thirty-nine plump Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds from the three pods that fell into his hands.

On the other side, Dongfang Xuanyi and Wang Chen harvested three and two pods respectively.

All eight pods were successfully collected!

Seeing that the Red-Crowned Fire Python had not returned, Ye Chen, Dongfang Xuanyi, and Wang Chen looked at each other with excitement gleaming in their eyes, "We did it!"

Dongfang Xuanyi, even more thrilled, squeezed a talisman by his waist. A light flashed across this talisman in an instant.

This talisman was clearly for signaling Ruan Yuan, Chen Bi, and He Ye on the outside.

Dongfang Xuanyi was informing the trio that they were successful and urging them to quickly leave the area they were hiding in to regroup at a predetermined location.

After sending the message, Ye Chen, Dongfang Xuanyi, and Wang Chen rapidly ascended into the sky.

On the other side, Ruan Yuan, sensing the signal from another talisman she carried, was also elated, "It worked, Ye Chen, Dongfang Xuanyi, and Wang Chen got it!"

"Let's quickly leave as well, lest the Red-Crowned Fire Python senses something wrong and chases after us!"

Hearing Ruan Yuan's message transmission, Chen Bi and He Ye were also overjoyed.

They had not expected to complete the mission so successfully without having to engage in combat with the Red-Crowned Fire Python or use their combat powers to hold it off!

"It seems that the Red-Crowned Fire Python, having been near the Flame Lotus Pond for a long time without incident, has lowered its guard," Chen Bi commented with a smile.

He Ye's face was filled with joy as he said, "Haha, who would have thought our past encounters would be so perilous, yet this final operation went so smoothly!"

Their joyful message transmissions made Ruan Yuan relax her brows as well. She transmitted back with a smile, "Let's go; we still have to distribute the Fire Elemental Lotus Seeds at the rendezvous!"

"Missions always carry a risk, and of course, they can go smoothly. Many have died undertaking missions; we are just fortunate this time around!"

While Ruan Yuan was transmitting her message, she suddenly felt something was amiss and abruptly looked up.

Next, Ruan Yuan saw an unbelievable scene.

A colossal leg, with its foot alone spanning hundreds of zhang, appeared out of the void, and with a sudden force, it descended from the sky towards the area where she was standing.

"Not good!"

Ruan Yuan's reaction was incredibly fast; she didn't even have time to see who the owner of the leg was before her graceful body shot out, weaving through the void.

At the same time, a powerful protective light, stronger than any she had ever emitted, radiated from her body, fully enveloping her in defense.

But then, a terrifying change occurred.

Just as Ruan Yuan's body entered into the void, a sharp shadow of a finger tens of zhang in length appeared behind her; its nails, flashing a horrific cold light, pierced through Ruan Yuan's body in an instant!

Ruan Yuan only had time to let out a single scream before this female martial artist, an incredibly powerful being even among the true gods of nine calamities, fell then and there.

Elsewhere, at the same time Ruan Yuan made her escape, the petite "Chen Bi" and the white-robed youth "He Ye" also felt a massive shadow engulfing their entire area.

Looking up, they saw an incredible scene.

A gigantic black ape, reaching a height of ten thousand meters, was lifting its massive foot, preparing to stomp down upon this expanse of earth.

The "Red-Crowned Fire Python," which had been cultivating just moments before, was so frightened that it immediately fled into the void.

However, this colossal Red-Crowned Fire Python, nearly a thousand zhang long and with a strength approaching that of an Upper God King, was caught in the very instant it entered the void by the huge black ape.

With a single tear, the giant black ape ripped the Middle God King-level Red-Crowned Fire Python into shreds, brutally killing it!

In the blink of an eye, both Ruan Yuan and the Red-Crowned Fire Python had fallen.

Chen Bi and He Ye were so terrified that they stood paralyzed on the spot!

"This... This is a true Upper God King-level demon beast!"

"My god, how can such a beast appear in the Fiery Realm? I thought such creatures were only found in the Nine Suns Realm!"

"And it's not just this one Upper God King-level beast!"

Chen Bi and He Ye saw that the giant black ape that had killed the Red-Crowned Fire Python and Ruan Yuan had its entire right arm severed, with copious amounts of blood gushing out like a fountain.

This giant black ape was a wounded Upper God King-level Demon Ape!

What was more terrifying was that above the head of this gigantic black ape, there were seven or eight similarly immense flying demon beasts circling, completely obscuring the sky as soon as they spread their wings.

Just by looking, these seven or eight giant flying demon beasts were all at the Upper God King level!

Moreover, these flying demon beasts had battered feathers and were covered in blood.

Certainly, these flying demon beasts were wounded as well!

"Who could have injured these Upper God King-level terrifying creatures?!"

"How did these gigantic monsters get here?"

No sooner had Chen Bi and He Ye thought this than they had no time to flee. Under the watchful eyes of these fearsome Upper God King-level beasts, there was no chance to escape. Suddenly, a mighty Divine Eagle, spanning ten thousand meters, spotted them.

Two terrifying beams of golden light burst forth from the eyes of the golden eagle, crazily shooting towards Chen Bi and He Ye.

These two terrifying beams of golden light completely immobilized the land for hundreds of zhang around Chen Bi and He Ye, and not only did they kill the two of them on the spot, but they also created a massive, bottomless pit in the hundreds of zhang of land around them.

Roar!

Howl!

Ruan Yuan, Red-Crowned Fire Python, Chen Bi, and He Ye fell one after another within this domain, and after letting out a heaven-shaking roar, the beasts that killed them turned their terrifying eyes towards the deeper regions of the Nine Suns Ancient Land, their gazes filled with shock. Then, they turned their heads and rampaged towards the outer regions.

On the other hand, Ye Chen, Dongfang Xuanyi, and Wang Chen, who had just obtained the Fire Elemental Lotus Seed, had no idea that Ruan Yuan and the others had perished hundreds of li away.

Because at that moment, they also encountered grave trouble.

Just as they flew into the void, eight colossal demon beasts appeared around them.

The one in the lead was also an Upper God King-level incredible demon beast.

It was a giant flame wolf, its entire body engulfed in rolling blue flames. As soon as it appeared, its eyes locked onto the void, and a strange blue light flashed within them.

Even Dongfang Xuanyi and Wang Chen, who were hidden under the "True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe," felt the robe disintegrating in an instant. Before they could react, they were enveloped by two terrifying blue flames and instantly incinerated to ash.

Only Ye Chen managed to escape the "True Hidden Rosy Clouds Robe" at the critical moment of life and death and flew up to the void.

But even so, a terrifying blue flame pursued him relentlessly.

Ultimately, it was only thanks to the "Star Blue Divine Garment" he wore that Ye Chen managed to deflect the blue flame away.

When Ye Chen looked around, even he, with his many methods, couldn't help but take in a sharp breath of cold air.

Ye Chen saw the eight terrifying Upper God King-level demon beasts around him and noticed behind them more fearsome beasts charging out of the depths of the Nine Suns Ancient Land towards the Flame Mountain domain.
