Chapter 1437: Chapter 1437

Beyond the sea, islands are scattered like stars.

Many cultivators reside on them, none of weak strength.

Fire Mulberry Island is a famed little island in the South Sea, covered with Fire Mulberry Trees.

All year round, it glows fiery red.

The island is rich in geothermal energy, and Yuan Heng, Yuan Li, and Yuan Zhen, the three brothers, cultivate Fire Elemental Force here.

They were originally young fishermen who stumbled upon this island and gained the fortunes of an ancient cultivator, leading them to where they are now.

Speaking of fortunes, they are not much lesser than others.

This time, they agreed to come at the behest of the Southern Sea Black Dragon King because Yuan Zhen took a fancy to the Dragon Maiden of the Black Dragon King’s family.

Despite his age, he was moved by mortal desires.

All because this Dragon Maiden visited the island, at the age of eighteen, in her prime, completely captivating Yuan Zhen.

In terms of age, they’re just over five hundred years old, not considered that old among cultivators, perhaps middle-aged at most!

The Black Dragon King promised that if Long Fei was killed, the two families would become in-laws.

At that time, he would give rich gifts as a dowry.

That’s why Yuan Zhen and the others put in so much effort.

Yuan Zhen wielded a sword; the blade was crimson, appearing like a fiercely burning flame, exuding fiery Sword Qi.

This sword was made by ancient cultivators from the trunk of a Fire Mulberry Tree, as hard as Divine Iron, capable of channeling both Wood and Fire elemental forces.

"Brat, surrender your life!"

Yuan Zhen’s brow furrowed coldly, pointing at Long Fei with his sword finger.

The Fire Mulberry Sword flew out with a whoosh, streaking a red light across the sky, akin to a leaping Fire Dragon, pressing down on Long Fei from above.

Before the sword arrived, its Sword Aura rumbled and surged, causing the dust on the ground to rise up.

Red light roiled, waves of heat swept across.

Cultivators a thousand meters away felt a wave of heat as if a volcano had spewed lava, completely engulfing Long Fei.

The surrounding cultivators were shocked, secretly acknowledging that the three Daoists from Fire Mulberry Island truly possessed vast divine skills, unmatched.

This Aotian, despite his grand name, turned out to be someone with a brain disorder.

A mere Nascent Soul Realm Early Stage dares to challenge someone in the Soul Ascension Stage.

"With this little skill, you dare to be arrogant?"

Long Fei raised his hand, and a Jade Handprint appeared in the air, instantly transforming into a ghostly image ten meters high, grabbing at the fiery sword.

He didn’t use his unique Magical Treasure or cultivation level but instead displayed the newly learned Jade Handprint.

In the Mount Tai Secret Realm, all who saw this handprint perished.

Those who survived went into seclusion, and the people present were all outside then, having never seen such a scene.

The Sword Aura of the Fire Mulberry Sword, despite its Soul Ascension Stage pressure, didn’t descend but collided with the Jade Handprint.

In mid-air, a thunderous vibration occurred.

The Jade Handprint was completely swallowed by the flames, the Sword Qi fierce, spiraling and stabbing under Yuan Zhen’s spiritual power.

The immense pressure caused the void to tremble continuously, the space seemingly about to be torn apart, stirring furious winds in all directions.

Long Fei’s right hand closed, and so did the handprint.

The surrounding Earth Elemental Force gathered in the air, swirling around the handprint like a tornado, forming an Earth Elemental Force vortex, enveloping the Fire Mulberry Sword.

No matter how much spiritual power Yuan Zhen used, the Fire Mulberry Sword would not advance any further.

A tremendous shock, Long Fei’s handprint fully closed, enclosing the Fire Mulberry Sword and suppressing all Sword Qi.

Yuan Zhen’s Divine Sea felt like mountains were pressing from all sides, his head buzzed, and a mouthful of hot blood burst from his throat.

His Magical Treasure Fire Mulberry Sword was also snatched away by Long Fei.

All the cultivators widened their eyes in astonishment.

The two generals of the Black Dragon King, Cang Lang and Cang Hai, were especially shocked, not expecting Long Fei to be so formidable, wielding a sword with bare hands.

How strong must his physical body be to achieve this?

Earlier it was clear that Long Fei didn’t use spiritual power, yet his hand manipulated the surrounding Earth Elemental Force, leaving others mystified.

"Could this be an ancient method of physical cultivation?"

Chang Xi and Taida exchanged glances, surprised at the move Long Fei revealed.

"Is this all you’ve got?"

Long Fei stared at Yuan Zhen and his brothers, shaking his head with an inscrutable expression.

Ji Haotian felt a surge of admiration, inwardly thinking that this was why someone dares to challenge these three old men, indeed possessing extraordinary skills.

If these methods could be used for his own, he truly would be like a tiger with wings, able to make a name in the Cultivation World.

His eyes lit up, no longer daring to make any improper moves towards Wang Xiaoya.

Yuan Heng and Yuan Li turned pale, hastily administering a pill to their third brother to rest on site.

The two disregarded their dignity, attacking together.

Each wielded a Fire Mulberry Sword, but changed tactics.

Yuan Li summoned a massive fire-colored net, opening it above Long Fei’s head like a fishing net, using all his power to trap Long Fei within.

This net was made from the fire silkworm silk on the Fire Mulberry Tree, an ancient and precious relic, impervious even to Human Immortal Magical Treasures. Key to this, the Fire Silkworm Net could channel Fire Elemental Force.

With just a flicker of the caster’s spiritual power, anyone trapped inside would be engulfed in flames, burned to ashes alive.

Using this Fire Silkworm Net, the three Daoists had snatched countless fortunes in the South Sea, gaining fame with this treasure.

Yuan Li bore a fierce look, thinking silently how Long Fei would respond to this net.

Yuan Heng gave Long Fei no chance to resist, bringing forth the Fire Mulberry Sword, creating a barrier of Sword Qi like flames that sealed off Long Fei’s retreat from behind, afraid he might escape the Fire Silkworm Net.

The brothers cooperated seamlessly.

They did not expect that Long Fei had no intention of fleeing, calmly standing his ground as he suddenly summoned a Magical Treasure resembling a copper-colored teapot.

As the lid opened, a suction force surged from within, forming a gravitational vortex in the air, drawing the Fire Silkworm Net into it.

This copper pot was none other than an item of the Sima Family’s elder, Sima Qingcang, known as the Fire Crow Pot.

This pot, a Mount Heng Sect treasure, belonged to the realm of Human Immortals, considered an invincible existence in this world.

The spout can spawn Fire Crows.

The mouth can devour everything for refinement.

The Fire Silkworm Net was skilled at capturing, yet unmatched in precision by the Fire Crow Pot.

With the suction, the net began to swirl, and one corner was quickly pulled in, frightening Yuan Li into a loud shout, "You little thief, courting death!"

His spiritual power surged, fire flaring brightly on the net, illuminating the entire Prince’s Mansion.

The scorching heat glazed the tiles below.

Yuan Li was prepared to make one last desperate move, trying to bake Long Fei to death with flames as the treasure was devoured.

But Long Fei’s body was so resilient, the Fire Elemental Force the net channeled felt like a warm bath, surrounding him unfazed, as he continued to pull the Fire Silkworm Net into the Fire Crow Pot with strong spiritual power.

Amidst the flames, he stood like a Fire God. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⚫𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢⚫𝔫𝔢𝔱

The surrounding cultivators watched, horrified and in awe, silently acknowledging that had they been inside, they would have long been reduced to ashes.

Yuan Heng was shocked, roaring hoarsely, "Brat, take my sword."

He launched an active attack from behind, no longer guarding against Long Fei’s escape, waving a hand, the Sword Qi unfurling, transforming into a Fire Dragon, striking Long Fei from behind.

Yuan Zhen recovered and summoned a large fire-colored tree, shouting fiercely, "Thief, steal my Magical Weapons! See how I take your treasure!"

He summoned the tree, sweeping it like a broom towards Long Fei’s Fire Crow Pot.

Long Fei frowned, knowing the fire tree was formidable, without underestimation, raised his hand and commanded, "Sword, come!"

A longsword flashing with flames appeared in his hand with a swish.

This sword, like the Fire Crow Pot, was another of Sima Qingcang’s treasures, the Burning Flame Sword, an Earth Immortal item, a Mount Heng relic.

The longsword emerged, sweeping back with Long Fei’s hand, clashing surprise with the surging Fire Mulberry Sword, echoing muted booms and collisions of Fire Elemental Forces, leading to a violent explosion.

A series of explosions, firelight burst into the sky.

With a bang, Yuan Heng’s Fire Mulberry Sword was shaken by the Burning Flame Sword, its flames completely suppressed, thrusting into the ground with a puff, sinking the tiles in a radius of ten meters.
