Chapter 2243: Chapter 2244: So Close Yet Worlds Apart
And it was at this moment that the Witch God Cult and Zhai Family members finally arrived outside the Flame God Palace.
Upon seeing the majestic palace before him, Zhai Dewen’s eyes gleamed with excitement, "Is this the celestial sect’s cave abode? It truly is extraordinary!"
Saying this, he couldn’t help but rush forward, eager to enter the long-desired cave abode as soon as possible.
The old woman from the Witch God Cult wanted to stop him, but the Holy Maiden shook her head slightly and then watched Zhai Dewen’s back with a smile.
Who knows if there are still dangers in this palace, since this guy is willing to take the lead, let him try it first!
But in the next second, her plan fell through.
Only to see Zhai Dewen charging forward, and in the blink of an eye, he was within a mere step of the Flame God Palace.
But then a strange scene unfolded; no matter how he ran, he couldn’t get a step closer.
The Flame God Palace seemed like an unattainable dream, always just out of reach.
Yet this chasm felt as distant as the ends of the earth.
The smile solidified on the Holy Maiden’s face, and everyone sensed something was amiss.
Zhai Dewen awoke from his greed, stopped, and gazed at the palace that seemed just a grasp away, full of shock.
"What’s going on? Why am I just a step away from entering, yet can’t touch it?" Zhai Dewen murmured softly.
The old woman sneered, "I’ve told you before, you are mortal and blind, even if the celestial sect’s cave abode is right before you, you can’t understand it. Convinced now?"
Zhai Dewen’s face turned ashen, yet he couldn’t retort.
At that moment, the Holy Maiden spoke with a heavy voice, "No, there’s something strange here, everyone rush forward together!"
Saying this, she took the lead in charging forward, attempting to enter the Flame God Palace.
The others rushed to follow, but ended up like Zhai Dewen, unable to advance further when just a step away from the palace.
Even the Holy Maiden was no exception, but she was not willing to give up, letting out an angry snort.
"Manifest, Witch God!"
Boom!
Another green-faced, fanged Witch God appeared behind her and punched forward.
This punch was enough to blast a hole in space, but was stopped by an insurmountable barrier when only a step away from the Flame God Palace.
Then the Witch God retreated half a step but this only provoked the fierce nature of the descending Witch God.
It raised its head in a silent roar, and swung both fists to try and shatter the barrier completely.
Boom!
Another loud crash, the barrier glowed slightly, then a wisp of flame emerged and quickly spread to the Witch God’s fists.
Instantly, the Witch God’s fists and even its arms were burned into nothingness.
Although it was just a phantom image, the pain still made the Witch God struggle.
The Holy Maiden swiftly recalled the Witch God, trying to evade the attack of the flames.
But it was too late.
In mere moments, the wisp of flame burned the Witch God entirely, refining it into void.
The Holy Maiden groaned, her face paling slightly, evidently lightly injured.
"Holy Maiden!" The old woman asked in surprise.
The Holy Maiden waved her hand, indicating she was fine, then spoke with a somber expression.
"Stop now. With our current strength, it’s impossible to break through this barrier and enter the palace!"
Upon hearing this, everyone halted.
Zhai Dewen’s face showed despair and reluctance, "What then? Just give up?"
"Of course not, I even lost a Witch God guard to come here, how could I give up now!"
"Then the Holy Maiden means...?"
"Obviously, those who entered before have already gone into the palace, which is why we can’t enter. The only solution now is to seal this place tightly and wait for them to come out!"
Zhai Dewen and the others’ eyes lit up, the old woman showing a ruthless expression.
"Yes, those people have entered the celestial sect’s cave. Though ahead of us, I don’t believe they won’t come out. We’ll wait here and capture them once they appear, then whatever they acquired inside will be ours!"
The Holy Maiden nodded too, "The old woman is right, let’s completely seal this place now!"
"Yes!"
The Witch God Cult and Zhai Family members moved swiftly to encircle the Flame God Palace.
But unlike the others eager for success, Zhai Zhuqing, the eldest daughter of the Zhai Family, looked pale and worried at the grand palace.
Will things really be as simple as Father and everyone else thinks?
Meanwhile, inside the Flame God Palace.
The man casually pinched the wisp of Red Lotus Karma Fire, studying it with curiosity for a moment, then smiled slightly.
"An interesting flame, actually mixes with the power of karma?"
Saying this, he looked up at Xue An, "Hua Clan boy, where did you get this flame?"
"Acquired by chance!"
"By chance? What a joke. This Pure White Celestial Fire might not be the highest grade here, but outside it’s the supreme treasure. You got it by chance?"
Saying this, the man suddenly clenched his fist, extinguishing the wisp of Red Lotus Karma Fire with a ’poof’.
Xue An trembled slightly, his face showing solemnity.
Since he condensed the Red Lotus Karma Fire, it had been invincible, breaking everything it touched, an unparalleled existence.
He never imagined that such a flame was weak as a candle in this man’s hand.
Xue An raised an eyebrow slightly, his voice cold, "What do you mean by this?"
"Haha, no meaning, just wanted to tell you, the flame you cherish is merely Mundane Fire to me!"
Saying this, the man extended his hand, a wisp of colorful fire rose from his fingertips.
Indeed!
Truly colorful.
The instant this flame appeared, the temperature in the entire hall soared, and Xue An closest to it felt his face scalded.
What jolted him even more was, upon seeing this flame, the Red Lotus Karma Fire within his mind took form, then floated in the air and worshipped the flame in the man’s hand!
Red Lotus Karma Fire actually submitted.
At the same time, the flame in the man’s hand visibly turned white and transparent.
In the blink of an eye, the flame looked like a flickering stream of air, invisible except for the refracted shadows it cast.
Yet the more it seemed like this, the stronger its aura became.
The man said proudly, "See? This is true fire supremacy, a force capable of melting anything!"
Xue An’s face reflected the blaze, pale except for his starry eyes, gazing at the flame without a word.
