In such a blazing place, there was actually another person!

Did he also have Natural Dao Water, or… was his strength so heaven-defyingly powerful?

Ling Han saw very clearly that there was no water shield on that person’s body. Instead, he was covered densely with seals of fire, effectively absorbing the power of the flames.

This was an elite, and one that was powerful to the extreme. He could actually walk freely in such depths.

The other had also seen him. The power of flames here was too terrifying. His divine sense could not be activated, so he could only see him with the naked eye. Thus, Ling Han discovered the other even earlier, because he had an eye technique.

It was an old man. He had a head of crimson hair, and his eyes were like copper bells. He was dressed in white coarse clothes, and there was not the slightest bit of adornment on him. However, he exuded a powerful and invincible aura. He was first surprised, then nodded, and said to himself, “So it’s Natural Dao Water!”

To be able to recognize Natural Dao Water with a single glance, this old geezer was no ordinary character.

Of course, being able to appear here with his own strength was already proof of the old geezer’s strength.

“Very good. I want to obtain Fire Crystals and comprehend the way to communicate with high-level flame energy. In this area, there is a limited number of Fire Crystals. If there is Natural Dao Water, then I can enter into a deeper area,” the old man mumbled to himself again, but his voice was very loud, and did not fear that Ling Han would hear him at all.

p***l

Ling Han did not say another word, and directly broke out into a run towards the depths of the canyon.

Why didn’t he run back?

Firstly, he couldn’t waste the Natural Dao Water. Secondly, and most importantly, this old man was too powerful. If he ran back, it would be impossible for him to dodge. He could only enter the depths of the canyon and rely on the Heavenly Dao Flames there to stop him.

As for how he would come out later, that was a matter for the future. At present, the most important thing was to escape.

“Trying to escape?” the old man in coarse clothes said calmly. He set off in pursuit of Ling Han.

With the gap in strength between the two of them, the old man in coarse clothes should have been able to easily catch up to Ling Han, but it was different here.

The power of flames was too terrifying, forcing the old man to have to channel 99% of his power to resist. This naturally greatly affected his speed.

Ling Han, on the other hand, had a water shield to protect him, so he didn’t need to worry about the flames. He only needed to run with all his might.

One ran, while the other pursued. Though the old man had a slight advantage in speed, if he wanted to catch up to Ling Han, he would need some time.

What was the key?

The old man in coarse clothes had already reached his limit by coming here. If he continued to run in, even he wouldn’t be able to withstand the power of the flames. He wouldn’t be able to chase for more than a few steps.

He obviously knew this as well, and couldn’t help but raise a brow, brazenly making his move.

Boom, endless power condensed, turning into a giant hand of fire that grabbed out at Ling Han.

This palm strike was incredibly terrifying. Endless seals were surging in the flames, as if the God of Fire was about to bum the world to ash in his fury. However, it was useless.

The giant hand of flames descended, but it was continuously melting. The power of flames here was too terrifying. Even if the old man in coarse clothes also shot out fire element attacks, they were still rapidly disintegrating. The old man in coarse clothes frowned. In truth, he had also known that this would happen. He had only made a move to scare Ling Han.

He immediately activated his divine sense, using a level of being that was innumerable times higher to suppress Ling Han.

This was the might of a high-level cultivator, and it was used to intimidate low-level cultivators.

Boom! The might surged over, yet Ling Han was completely unmoved. He continued to run as fast as he could.

This time, the coarse-clothed elder was truly astonished.

Who was he?

Dragon Flame Venerate!

This was a supreme elite at the fourth pinnacle level. Below Saint-level, he was the most powerful.

By now, it had already been a very long time since a Saint had appeared on this planet. He was definitely the strongest, but his pressure was actually ineffective against Ling Han?

Just how strange was this?

Could this brat have a Saint Tool on him?

That couldn’t be, either. What Holy Land would hand over a Saint Tool to a mere Foundation Building Tier cultivator? Wouldn’t they be afraid that it would be snatched away?

After chasing for another two steps, the old man in coarse clothes suddenly stopped. He didn’t dare to go any deeper, or it would be an action of courting death.

However, even if this brat brought the Natural Dao Water with him, there would eventually come a time when it would be exhausted. How could it be that he would never come out?

He would just wait for him.

Ling Han moved swiftly. The water shield was rapidly being consumed, and he had no choice but to drink another drop of Natural Dao Water to maintain the activation of the water shield.

Old b@stard.

He thought to himself. Just because he saw that he had Natural Dao Water, he wanted to take him down forcefully. How shameless!

However, for the old geezer to be able to walk to such a deep place, his abilities should be world-shakingly terrifying.

By the looks of it, he wouldn’t be able to exact revenge in the short term. —If this was known to others, they would definitely cry out in madness. Have you gone mad? He is a mighty Venerate Tier elite, and your first reaction is actually not how to escape, but rather when you can get your revenge. He was really bold.

Ling Han put all of this aside first, and arrived at the depths of the Flaming Canyon. There was a pit here that had been created by a smash. It was not very big, about nine meters in diameter, and was only about three meters deep. In this place, the power of flames had reached the pinnacle.

Ling Han stretched out his head to look from afar. Even if he had Natural Dao Water, he didn’t dare to touch the flames here. He saw that the flames boiling in the pit were actually all seals, but they were indescribably mysterious. This was a high-level flame energy!

Ling Han thought. There was actually still a difference even when both was high-level energy. This was known through the level of different Spirit Diagrams.

Different Fire Spirit Diagrams communicated with completely different flames. In this place, it was possible that it had reached the pinnacle of the power of flames. Even Saints could be easily burnt to death.

Ling Han’s heart throbbed wildly. Were these seals the profound knowledge that communicated with the supreme power of flames?

He thought, but did not dare to have any hesitation. Immediately, he followed the tool refinement technique that Wu Qingxu had taught him, and attached a sliver of his divine sense to the Origin Gold, then threw the Origin Gold into the fire pit.

Boom! The symbols immediately started to pulsate madly, surrounding the Origin Gold and attempting to melt it down.

But what kind of existence was the Origin Gold?

The supreme flames that could easily bum a Saint to death did not seem to have the slightest effect on it. The Origin Gold did not change in the slightest. In fact, it did not even become red. The aura of Primal Chaos descended, and the power of lightning surged gently, steady.

Ling Han wasn’t anxious. If the Origin Gold could be so easily melted, then could it still be called the Origin Gold?

As he drank Natural Dao Water and replenished his water shield, he continued to study those seals of fire. Even if he could only grasp the slightest bit of them, they should still be greatly beneficial to him.

A guess flashed through his mind. Was the Destructive Energy also a high-level, or perhaps it was close to the highest level of energy?

This thought flashed past, and Ling Han naturally focused his energy on studying the seals of flames.

One day, two days, three days… Time slowly crept by.

Natural Dao Water was expending very quickly. Thankfully, the amount was not small either. Since the Great Emperor Wu Ya had left behind a great opportunity for his descendants, he must have made adequate preparations. Every morning, Ling Han wanted to cultivate, but the power of flames here was too terrifying, suppressing the power of heaven and earth. He couldn’t cultivate at all.

Thankfully, he had prepared a backup plan, and brought food with him. Otherwise, if he couldn’t absorb the power of heaven and earth, and didn’t eat or drink, he would really starve to death here..
