Chapter 1077: The Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame Riot, Take Me With You, Don’t Stand In My Way
On that day, Chu Kuangren and others headed to the ruins of Thousand Flames Valley.
According to He Yun, he had tried to refine the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame, but it backfired, causing the entire Thousand Flames Valley Ruins to be covered in the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame. As a result, everyone was burned to death by the Karmic Flame.
To prevent the Karmic Flame from spreading, He Yun activated the mega formation of the Thousand Flames Valley to seal the entire Thousand Flames Valley and Karmic Flame in the void.
Since his remnant soul was attached to the Qingzhou Cauldrons, he escaped the catastrophe and slept for many years.
“It’s all my fault.”
Speaking of that, He Yun could not help but feel remorseful.
Chu Kuangren did not comfort him as it was the karma that He Yun needed to bear for his whole life.
Boom!
At that moment, a red ray of light suddenly rose into the sky in the distance.
The color of the light ray was as red as blood. As it shot into the sky, it dyed the tumbling clouds red, with terrifying power.
“This aura…”
He Yun’s expression changed. “The Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame!”
Chu Kuangren frowned. “Didn’t you seal this Karmic Flame in the void? Why is it suddenly appearing?”
Then, he thought of something. “It’s the Lin clan.”
“It must be them! They must be trying to take the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame by force. Do these idiots think they can grab a divine fire like the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame? I guess they’ve triggered a Karmic Flame riot.”
“Well, they’re in a rush.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
He could tell that the Lin clan was eager to get their hands on the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame. However, since they could not get the Fire Dragon Cloak, they could only grab it by force.
In addition, Chu Kuangren’s declaration of war had also put some pressure on them, and they desperately wanted to get the Karmic Flame to increase their odds of winning.
The firelight soared into the sky, visible for hundreds of millions of kilometers.
Everyone could sense the power contained in the Karmic Flame.
“It’s the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame, which is ranked thirteenth in the Divine Fire List!”
“My goodness. I can’t believe it is that divine fire. Rumor has it that the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame can burn a sin, but anyone who gets into contact with it will not survive. Its power is no worse than the top ten divine fires.”
“Indeed. It is ranked thirteenth because such divine fire is too difficult to tame. However, I heard that the Thousand Flames Valley tamed the Karmic Flame a long time ago. Didn’t the Thousand Flames Valley disappear as well?”
“It seems like the Thousand Flames Valley has reappeared.”
The Thousand Flames Valley was the sacred land of alchemy in Planquilon Immortal World. It contained countless Immortal Pills that piled up into mountains. However, they mysteriously disappeared later in the years.
The emergence of such sacred land had attracted much attention, and many forces rushed to explore it.
The land was already crowded with people when Chu Kuangren and others arrived.
“It’s Chu Kuangren!”
Chu Kuangren’s appearance attracted many people’s attention.
The crowd exclaimed.
However, Chu Kuangren could not care less about them. Instead, he looked at a valley that was burning with bright red flames not far away.
Strangely, the flames did not cause any damage to the surrounding terrain. Even in the flames could flowers and grass survive without any threats.
“Is this the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame?”
“According to the rumors, the Karmic Flame only burns people’s sinful karma, so it won’t damage other things. Not even a piece of paper. It’s miraculous.” Chu Kuangren looked at the Karmic Flame in amazement.
Then, he noticed that many people were moving within the valley.
Those people were from the Lin clan and had a faint brilliance around each of them that resisted the scorching Karmic Flame as they collected all kinds of medicinal pills, Immortal herbs, and the like in the valley.
“They’re using a fire-proofing pill.”
Chu Kuangren could tell the tactic they used at a glance.
The fire-proofing pill was a medicinal pill that could isolate the burning flames with limited effects.
However, Chu Kuangren also noticed some of the Li clan’s people burning to ashes by the Karmic Flame when the medicinal effect was exhausted.
“No way. I can’t sit still watching the Lin clan’s people wantonly looting the treasures here,” said some of the cultivators.
Then, they protected their body with source energy before rushing into the valley to take a share.
Despite that, they were burned to ashes by the Karmic Flame in the shrill screams after a while.
Some cultivators robbed the fire-proofing pills of the Lin clan’s people with their mighty strength and could temporarily stop the Karmic Flame.
The entire Thousand Flames Valley was in chaos, with many cultivators taking action.
“Let’s go,” said Chu Kuangren.
With that, he came to the Thousand Flames Valley, reached out to grab a ball of Karmic Flame, and felt the power contained in it.
He could sense something burning in his body. Although he could not see or touch it, he felt it around him.
“Oh, is this the so-called sinful karma?”
Chu Kuangren grinned. The Karmic Flame burned sinful karma, which eroded the physical body and soul. It was impossible to defend against.
The more sinful karma, the more damage the Karmic Flame could cause.
The Karmic Flame could be suppressed either with a powerful Immortal’s Core, by killing the Karmic Flame source, or by other methods.
However, Chu Kuangren had a better way.
His Phoenix’s Flame flashed by in his palm, devouring the Karmic Flame completely.
“Fire Dragon Cloak!”
At that moment, He Fei shouted and took out an Immortal Weapon — a fiery red scarf similar to a handkerchief.
As he threw the scarf, it transformed into a lifelike Fire Dragon, circling Chu Kuangren and isolating the Karmic Flame.
“Master, please.”
“Alright.”
Chu Kuangren and others walked towards the depths of Thousand Flames Valley. At that sight, everyone became envious as they did not have such an Immortal Weapon to avoid the fire.
However, they dared not go forward and grab it.
“Master Chu, I’m from the Wang clan. Please take me with you.”
“Little Brother, could you please take me along? You can do whatever you want to me as long as I can enter the depths of the Thousand Flames Valley.”
“Get off from my sight! Master Chu, please take me with you.”
Many people wanted to go deep into the Thousand Flames Valley to search for treasures using Chu Kuangren’s power. Some promised various benefits, some revealed their identities, and some female cultivators were even willing to offer their bodies.
Unfortunately, Chu Kuangren was not tempted by them.
Everyone was helpless.
As Chu Kuangren went deeper into the Thousand Flames Valley, they encountered a more powerful Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame.
“Those outside are nothing but aftereffects of the Karmic Flame. The real Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame is in the Thousand Flames Valley’s Heavenly Blaze Palace,” said He Yun.
Soon after, they came to a splendid palace, where they bumped into some Immortals from the Lin clan.
They had consumed a lot of fire-proofing pills, and with their cultivation as Immortals, they were barely pulling through to get the Crimson Karmic Lotus Flame.
Upon seeing Chu Kuangren’s arrival, the expressions of the Immortals guarding outside the Heavenly Blaze Palace changed, and they quickly became alert.
“Chu Kuangren is here!”
“D*mn. The Karmic Flame riot must’ve attracted him here. But how is he so fast?!”
They had no idea that Chu Kuangren’s target was the ruins of Thousand Flames Valley and that he would come even if there were no Karmic Flame riot.
“We can’t allow him to disturb the Clan Leader and others.”
“We must stop him!”
Several Lin clan Immortals took action by unleashing all kinds of divine fires as soon as they saw Chu Kuangren.
However, Chu Kuangren did not look at them. He simply raised his hand and unleashed the golden-red Phoenix’s Flame, killing those Immortals to scum!
“Don’t stand in my way!”
