Chapter 148: Huo Ling’er’s Adventure! Rewards!
While Chen Xuan and Chi Yao were exploring the Nine Origins Seas, rapidly advancing their cultivation and uncovering the secrets hidden within this Domain, there was someone back in the Tianxuan Domain who was far from pleased.
More specifically, a certain red-haired young woman was practically burning with rage.
Just after refining the Nirvana Phoenix Feather and emerging from seclusion, Huo Ling’er had been eager to find her Master and proudly show off the results of her hard work.
However, she was greeted by an empty room.
No. Two of them.
Both Chen Xuan and Chi Yao had vanished.
The only thing they left behind was a letter explaining that they had traveled to the Nine Origins Seas without her.
Although the letter claimed they had attempted to contact her before departing and only left because she remained in deep seclusion, Huo Ling’er refused to accept such an explanation.
How could they leave without her?
Could it be that Chi Yao had already managed to complete her plan?
The more Huo Ling’er imagined the two of them traveling together, exploring islands, searching for treasures, and experiencing exciting battles without her, the angrier she became.
Especially when her mind wandered to a potential scene that was not suitable to be explained through words.
’No! No! No!’ she clenched her fists tightly.
’I was the first disciple! Master belongs to me!’
Upon that thought, Huo Ling’er found it impossible to remain calm.
However, she knew that this was not the place to erupt.
With a thought, her figure shot out of the Spirit Stone mine like a streak of fire. Soon, she disappeared into the horizon.
--
"Die! Die! Die!"
A furious shout echoed throughout the forest as a blazing orange figure raced across the land.
Everywhere Huo Ling’er passed, towering trees burst into flames.
The lush vegetation turned to ash, while countless beasts were engulfed in fire before they could even understand what had happened.
It was as though the God of Death had descended upon the forest and was harvesting everyone’s lives.
Yet despite the total destruction surrounding her, Huo Ling’er’s anger showed no signs of subsiding.
Instead, it only grew stronger with every passing minute.
Almost unconsciously, the Nirvana Phoenix Feather materialized in her hand.
The feather remained as magnificent as ever.
Brilliant crimson flames flowed across its surface, while an ancient aura quietly spread through the surroundings.
The moment Huo Ling’er grasped it, the feather resonated with her Spiritual Energy.
Boom! Her cultivation erupted without restraint.
An aura at the Peak Foundation Establishment realm swept across the forest before continuing to rise, faintly touching the threshold of the Core Formation realm.
Every beast within dozens of miles sensed that overwhelming pressure.
The weaker ones collapsed onto the ground and trembled uncontrollably.
Some desperately fled, while others instinctively lowered their heads, hoping the terrifying existence above would forget about them.
Only the beasts occupying the forest’s deepest regions dared to respond.
One after another, powerful roars echoed through the forest.
Several enormous figures emerged from the darkness, baring their fangs as they glared toward Huo Ling’er.
None of them chose to attack. They merely warned her to leave through their shouts.
For beasts, whose territorial instincts ran deep, this alone was already an enormous compromise.
Unfortunately for them, Huo Ling’er wasn’t in the mood to compromise with anyone.
Their threatening growls only fueled her frustration even further.
"Master! Master! Where are you?!"
"Look! Look! Even a bunch of beasts dare to bully your disciple!" she cried out.
Holding the Nirvana Phoenix Feather tightly, she instinctively activated her Holy Body Vision.
Immediately, the towering Vulcan Vision appeared behind her.
The colossal phantom seemed to have been forged from molten magma, while endless flames danced across its skin.
The instant it manifested, the Nirvana Phoenix Feather flew from Huo Ling’er’s hand into the giant’s palm.
Then, a sea of fire erupted.
Starting from where Huo Ling’er was standing, crimson flames spread in every direction with astonishing speed.
Terrified screams echoed one after another as countless beasts were consumed by the flames.
Even those at the Peak Foundation Establishment realm could barely resist.
At most, their screams echoed for a little longer than the rest before finally growing silent.
Soon, the once flourishing forest had completely disappeared.
Only blackened earth, drifting ash, and rising smoke remained.
Huo Ling’er stood quietly amidst the ruins, allowing the lingering flames to surround her figure.
A cold, ruthless silence settled.
Yet only moments later, that silence was broken.
A surprised voice rang out from within the cloud of ashes and smoke.
"Huh? What’s this pill?"
"Hmm? It smells pretty good. But Master reminded me not to eat unknown things—Gulp!"
"..."
"..."
"Oh no! I didn’t mean to eat it!"
Before Huo Ling’er could say anything else, a powerful aura arose from her body and rapidly spread throughout the ruins.
--
Naturally, Chen Xuan knew nothing about Huo Ling’er’s current situation, much less that she had left the Spirit Stone mine and embarked on an adventure of her own.
If he learned what had actually happened, he would probably be left speechless.
Was Huo Ling’er really the villainess?
Why did she seem more like a Destined Protagonist?
At the very least, Chi Yao, who had remained by his side all this time, hadn’t stumbled upon opportunities with such absurd ease.
Could it be that Chi Yao was defective?
Regardless, although Chen Xuan didn’t know what had happened, he knew the outcome.
Staring blankly at the flickering notification before him, he rubbed his eyes, wondering if he had somehow fallen into an illusion.
Only after confirming that everything was real did he gradually calm down.
Even so, he couldn’t hide his surprise.
He understood Huo Ling’er’s cultivation better than anyone.
For her to break through so quickly, she must have encountered another extraordinary opportunity.
’It seems that I’ll have to return to Tianxuan Domain in the near future.’
’Even if not to see what is going on with the war, bringing Huo Ling’er with me is absolutely necessary.’ Chen Xuan thought.
Then, his gaze settled on the notification.
Without hesitating, he chose to accept it.
The notification vanished. Immediately afterward, several new lines of text shimmered into existence before him.
