Chapter 893

A hundred meters outside Tianjiao City, the void shattered, forming a dark passage. A figure walked out from it.

The void rippled, causing energy to vibrate. Many people sensed it. Even the guards in the Heaven's Pride City were shocked when they saw the figure walking out of the void.

It was a figure with flames all over its body. It was like a human-shaped flame. The flame aura was restrained, making it impossible to sense its strength. However, one could see that the space around the human-shaped flame was distorted.

When the Trial Takers saw the human-shaped flame, their expressions changed instantly. Disbelief appeared on their faces. Then, exclamations came from their mouths.

"His whole body is covered in flames. Is this the root of the Five Elements Fire Family, the Fire Spirit Body?"

"His whole body is like a flame, and the flames are endless. It's naturally formed and not deliberately released. This must be a Pure Spirit Body."

The human-shaped flame descended from the sky, causing exclamations. Everyone looked at it in shock. The Pure Spirit Body was a legendary existence. It rarely appeared in the world. It represented the strongest combat power of the Five Elements Force. The Pure Spirit Body was also unique to the Five Elements Family bloodline. This was also one of its advantages.

On the ancient road, the Pure Spirit Body hadn't appeared for a long time. The last time it appeared was ten thousand years ago. This didn't mean that the Five Elements Family hadn't had a Pure Spirit Body in ten thousand years, but that there was no existence worthy of a Pure Spirit Body.

Under normal circumstances, a Xiantian martial artist with Xiantian techniques could take care of everything for the family.

The human-shaped flame descended from the sky, but it didn't enter Tianjiao City. Instead, it walked in the opposite direction.

Originally, everyone guessed that the human-shaped flame must have returned from experience and was preparing to enter Tianjiao City. However, at this moment, it walked in the opposite direction, which surprised everyone. Just as they were surprised and puzzled, they sensed a murderous intent from the human-shaped flame.

Feeling this murderous intent, the Trial Takers were in an uproar. The combat power of a Pure Spirit Body was far beyond that of a Xiantian martial artist. The two were not on the same level at all. Now that the other party had murderous intent, it was obviously a sign that he was going to kill.

But in the current world, who was qualified to make a Pure Spirit Body attack? Those below the Xiantian level naturally couldn't, but those above the Xiantian level were on the same level.

This guess caused everyone's mood to instantly become excited, and they all followed the flaming figure. If their guess was correct, it was obvious that they would be able to see a battle that had not been seen in ten thousand years.

As they moved forward, the group of trial-takers were guessing who the flaming figure's opponent was. Was it another pure spirit body, a tyrannical body, or an existence with a Heart of the Sword or a Heart of Slaughter?

Word spread like wildfire. The news that a pure spirit body was going to fight soon spread. More trial-takers followed the flaming figure.

The flaming figure walked in front while a large group of trial-takers followed behind. The figure didn't turn its head or speak as it continued forward.

This time, they traveled hundreds of thousands of miles. After traveling hundreds of thousands of miles, the number of trial challengers they encountered along the way also increased. When these trial challengers saw the flaming figure, their expressions changed greatly. However, there were also quite a few who were stunned.

These people were all people who went to search for treasures. Some of them started to return before entering the Dark World, and some of them escaped from the Dark World.

After they escaped, they all told everyone what had happened in the Dark World. Zi Chen killing Huo Si was naturally the focus of everyone's discussion.

The Huo family's Huo Si had been killed, and the Huo family's pure spirit body had appeared here. Everyone guessed that the other party was looking for trouble with Zi Chen.

"Zi Chen, it must be Zi Chen."

"I bet that this flaming figure is looking for trouble with Zi Chen. He's here to kill Zi Chen."

As everyone recounted the battle, more and more people learned about what had happened in the Dark World. Everyone was looking forward to the battle between Zi Chen and the flaming figure. Of course, they were even more looking forward to a one-sided battle. This was because as a legendary existence, a pure spirit body had already surpassed the Xiantian realm, and Zi Chen was still a Xiantian realm martial artist.

What puzzled everyone was that the flaming figure had only walked hundreds of thousands of miles and hadn't even reached the entrance to the Dark World. However, he suddenly stopped.

Looking at the motionless flaming figure, although everyone was puzzled, they didn't dare to ask.

"Zi Chen, I hate this name," muttered a voice from within the flames.

In the Dark World, with the appearance of the two ancient race elders, the five people who wanted to frame Long Chen calmed down. These two were the true guardians of the Ancient Path. They could control the Ancient Path's power. As long as one was in the Ancient Path and didn't have the means to resist the Ancient Path's power, they wouldn't be able to fight against them.

In front of the elders, the five of them were like Zi Chen in front of them. They could be completely ignored. So they didn't dare to quibble or retort.

"Hehe, Jin An, don't you hate people who collude with other races the most? Now that the truth is out, you're the ones who colluded with the other races. Do you want to commit suicide?" asked Li Xiong.

Jin An and the others glared at Li Xiong, but they didn't say anything else.

Facing the ancient race, everyone was in awe. Even the Five Elements Aristocratic Family, which had existed for a long time, was much older than them. When the ancient race had risen and unified the Tianwu Continent, they had nothing to do with it. However, during the great war between the human race and the devil race, if it weren't for the ancient race, the entire world would have been occupied by the devil race.

When the devil race had attacked, the Five Elements Aristocratic Family was just a small family. They couldn't contribute much. It was the four King Families who led the ancient race to repel the devil race. However, they also suffered heavy losses. The Lei Family, one of the four King Families, even lost their inheritance. As for the other three King Families, they hadn't appeared in the world for a long time.

The Five Elements Aristocratic Family clearly recorded the tragic battle of that year. Now that they thought about it, they still sighed, lamenting the powerful ancient race.

However, after the destruction of the ancient race, the Five Elements Aristocratic Family rose. They obtained the ancient race's inheritance and controlled the ancient race's power. After the ancient race disappeared, the Five Elements Aristocratic Family took over everything. As the wings of the Five Elements Aristocratic Family gradually expanded, they attracted the devil race for some purpose.

Jin Tu paused and said, "Today is different from the past. Now, our foundation can completely suppress the devil race. Even if the devil race appears again, they will be beaten back like before."

After the destruction of the ancient race, there were several invasions of the devil race in history. However, every time, the invaders were defeated by the joint forces of the Five Elements Aristocratic Family and other forces. There was a lot of suffering, but it was still under control. However, during the fierce battle, several forces disappeared in the long river of history.

"Nonsense."

The old man of the ancient race's face turned ashen. He said angrily, "Back then, there were many families that were stronger than you. Just the foundation of one of the four King Families was more than the sum of the five of you. However, in that battle, the four King Families joined forces and still won a pyrrhic victory."

"The situation of the previous invasions of the devil race, you all know best. The devil race seemed to be going all out, but in fact, they were just probing. You are fighting for an opportunity for yourselves, but they are also waiting for an opportunity. After hundreds of thousands of years, the devil race has accumulated an unimaginable power. Now, they are waiting for you to open the passage."

The five of them didn't care about the old man's words. Without personally experiencing the battle, they couldn't feel the strength of the devil race and the terror of the four King Families.

Huo Ming said, "We are the human race. I hope you don't underestimate the enemy. In these hundreds of thousands of years, the devil race has indeed accumulated a lot of power, but we humans are not weak either."

The old man turned to look at Huo Ming and said seriously, "It is the five families that have accumulated a lot of power, not the entire human race."

"What do you mean?" The five of them changed their expressions instantly.

The old man snorted and said, "Although the ancient race hasn't appeared, it doesn't mean that they don't know anything about the world. You know best what the Five Elements Aristocratic Family has done all these years."

"We don't understand what you are talking about."

A trace of mockery appeared in the old man's eyes. "You don't understand? Eliminate the dissidents and gather all the geniuses for your own use. Those who follow me prosper, and those who oppose me perish. If you still don't understand, then let me give you some advice. Twenty thousand years ago, the Western Desert's Buddhist Sect. Ten thousand years ago, the Southern Domain's Wuji Sect."

Hearing the old man's words, the five of them didn't change their expressions. Jin Yan said, "The destruction of the Wuji Sect is something that everyone knows. Back then, the sect master of the Wuji Sect was too greedy and wanted to attack the Lightning Divine Hall to become the Lightning Divine Hall, which led to the destruction of the Wuji Sect. As for the Southern Desert's Buddhist Sect, a powerful demon was sealed there, but they underestimated the demon's strength, which led to the demon breaking out of the seal, causing the Buddhist Sect to disappear in a day. In the end, that powerful demon was killed by our Five Elements Aristocratic Family. I don't understand what the two things you are talking about have to do with us."

In the distance, Zi Chen and the others were shocked. The Wuji Sect was the sect that Zi Chen belonged to. Back then, it was indeed destroyed because of the Lightning Divine Hall. However, now that they heard the old man's words, there seemed to be more to it.

As for the Southern Desert's Buddhist Sect, it was an extremely unfamiliar name, but it should be full of monks. Zi Chen turned to look at Tyrant. Tyrant had already put away his previous joyful expression and was much more solemn.

The old man sneered. "Ten thousand years have passed. Since you don't want to admit it, then forget it."

"Today's matter is the last time that our Ancient Race will stop you. If you insist on connecting the two worlds, then do as you wish. However, before that, let me give you a piece of advice. Go back and read the records about the Demon Race in the ancient books. Don't think that just because there are some spiritual bodies in your race, you are invincible and can control the world."

"Back then, the Four Great Ancient Races didn't have fewer spiritual bodies than you. There are also many Demon Races that are comparable to spiritual bodies. Spiritual bodies aren't invincible."

The five of them changed their expressions, but in the end, they didn't argue.

In front of the old man, the five of them naturally didn't have the right to use the rules. In the next moment, the old man waved his sleeve, and the void split open, revealing a black passage.

"We will definitely pass on this matter." Golden Flame and the others cupped their fists and entered the passage.

The other Xiantian Realm warriors who were lucky enough to survive also hurriedly followed.

Li Xiong turned his head and smiled at the few of them, then left in a flash.

"You guys can leave too." The old man waved his sleeve again, and Zi Chen and the others disappeared.
