Chapter 5808
Flames, sometimes sword-shaped, sometimes lotus-like, sometimes like flowing clouds, danced and darted within, each wisp enough to easily incinerate the physical body and soul of an early-stage Celestial Immortal!
Within the sword domain, space was completely sealed off, the intense heat distorted perception, and the sharp sword intent was omnipresent, frantically compressing and scorching everything within!
This was the signature technique of the Heavenly Fire Sword Master, his greatest reliance for dominating the Ten Heavens!
“Senior!”
“Senior Chen!”

Lie Tian, Ling Shuang, and the others exclaimed in horror upon seeing this.
Under such a terrifying sword domain, they could barely protect themselves, let alone help.
Facing this Heaven-Burning Sword Domain, powerful enough to kill even an ordinary seventh-grade Celestial Immortal, Kai merely sighed softly.
“It seems reasoning won’t work.”
He reached out and grasped the hilt of the seemingly ancient longsword behind him.
“Buzz—!”
A clear and melodious sword cry, like a dragon’s roar across the heavens, or the first wisp of Dao sound at the beginning of chaos, suddenly rang out!
The sword’s cry wasn’t particularly loud, yet it strangely pierced through the raging flames and sword intent of the Burning Heaven Sword Domain, clearly reaching everyone’s ears, even causing the surging flames to momentarily pause!
Kai drew his sword.
The Dragon-Slaying Sword was unsheathed!
There were no earth-shattering phenomena, no overwhelming momentum.
The Dragon-Slaying Sword’s blade presented a chaotic, dark color, as if it could devour all light.
But when Kai held the sword in his hand and casually swung it forward—
an indescribable “intention” suddenly spread out!
It wasn’t scorching, nor icy, nor sharp, nor heavy.
It was a kind of… a state of mind where “destruction” and “rebirth” intertwined, seemingly transcending the Five Elements and above the rules!
It was the grandeur and vastness of the primordial chaos, the initial separation of Yin and Yang!
Before this “sword intention,” the Burning Heaven Sword Domain’s scorching heat and sharpness, capable of burning everything, actually seemed… somewhat “petty,” somewhat “merely there in form”!
“What?!”
Ling Yan’s expression changed drastically! He felt his proud Burning Heaven Sword Intent, upon contact with the opponent’s strange sword intent, was like a subject encountering a king, involuntarily experiencing a feeling of being suppressed, even on the verge of collapse!
How could this be?!
His Burning Heaven Sword Intent was the supreme fire sword intent he had comprehended after thousands of years of observing the “Undying Flame Seed” at the core of the Blazing Fire Secret Realm, enduring countless hardships!
How could it be suppressed by the sword intent of a mere junior in the Immortal Realm?
“Break.”
Kai uttered a simple word.
The Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand, following an indescribably profound trajectory, gently thrust forward.
This thrust, seemingly slow, was actually extremely fast, as if ignoring the barriers of space and flames. This thrust
had no vast sword energy, no dazzling light.
But wherever the sword tip passed, the surging and roaring fiery sword energy in the Burning Heaven Sword Domain, like ice and snow under the scorching sun, silently melted and dissipated!
The sword domain itself emitted cracking sounds, as if a huge piece of glass had been lightly struck, instantly becoming covered with countless fine cracks!
“Crack—!”
A clear sound of shattering echoed through the canyon.
Ling Yan’s Heaven-Burning Sword Domain, powerful enough to trap and kill opponents of the same level, shattered under Kai’s seemingly casual sword strike!
It dissipated into countless sparks, quickly extinguishing in the air.
“Pfft!”
The sword domain was forcibly shattered, and Ling Yan, his mind injured, groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with utter horror and disbelief!
His sword-wielding hand trembled slightly.
It wasn’t a difference in strength, but… a crushing defeat in the level of swordsmanship!
The “intent” contained in that sword strike far surpassed his understanding of “fire” and “sword”! It was a higher-dimensional realm of swordsmanship that he had dreamed of but could never reach!
Kai sheathed his sword, the Dragon-Slaying Sword pointing diagonally at the ground, the chaotic light on its blade slowly receding.
He looked at the pale-faced, confused Ling Yan, and said calmly, “Now, can we go in?”
Ling Yan stared intently at Kai, then at the Dragon-Slaying Sword in his hand, his chest heaving violently.
That sword strike had completely overturned his understanding.
This seventh-grade Immortal Realm youth was no ordinary person!
His eerie sword intent, that strange sword, and the Fire Demon Lord and Fire Spirit Star Lord he mentioned… all of this pointed to one possibility—this person might truly have an unimaginable background and extraordinary opportunities!
Should they continue fighting?
Ling Yan wasn’t confident.
The opponent’s sword intent was too strange, completely countering his fire sword path. Moreover, he vaguely sensed that the opponent’s previous sword strike… seemed… not at full strength?
After a full ten breaths of silence, the overwhelming aura emanating from Ling Yan slowly subsided, and the sword intent that had burned everything receded like a tide.
He took a deep breath, as if to expel all the shock and pent-up emotions in his chest.
Finally, he stepped aside to clear the path to the burning rock wall, his voice dry as he said, “…Let’s go in.”
He didn’t ask any more questions.
Some answers are better left unknown.
Kai secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the Heavenly Fire Sword Venerable had agreed.
If the Heavenly Fire Sword Venerable had attacked again, he simply wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.
If it weren’t for the inheritance of Wan Jianxing and the incredibly pure sword intent he forged using those fire meteors in that void passage, Kai wouldn’t have been able to withstand the Heavenly Fire Sword Venerable’s attack.
Kai dared not think further and said to Lie Tian, Shi Yan, Ying Wu, and the others behind him, “Let’s go in.”
He walked to the rock wall, took out the Li Huo Pendant given to him by Ling Shuang, and without needing to deliberately transform it, he poured a wisp of chaotic immortal power into
it, causing the Li Huo Pendant to light up again. At the same time, with a slight movement of his divine sense, the hand seal taught by Ling Shuang instantly took shape and was imprinted into the rock wall.
This time, there was no obstacle.
The flames on the crimson crystal rock wall surged violently, quickly parting to both sides to reveal a stable portal three zhang high, burning with golden flames.
Behind the portal was a light curtain interwoven with crimson and golden hues, twisting and undulating. The specific scene was unclear, but the extremely rich and pure fire attribute energy was already overwhelming.
“Let’s go.”
Kai took the lead and stepped into the light curtain.
Shi Yan and Ying Wu quickly followed, helping the heavily injured Ling Shuang up.
Lie Tian then led the Wan Shou Sect disciples, who had survived the ordeal and were still in a daze, into the legendary Blazing Fire Secret Realm one by one, their emotions filled with complex and indescribable feelings.
Ling Yan stood still, watching the group gradually disappear into the light curtain, especially Kai’s back, his eyes shifting uncertainly before finally settling into a long, complex sigh.
Crimson Flame Canyon returned to its usual scorching heat and silence, with only the flames on the rock walls still burning tirelessly.
