Chen Yang and Tu Qi entered the flame forest, facing an immense oppressive force that prevented flight. Despite the disorienting density of the fiery trees and grasses, Chen Yang remained confident, believing they were on equal footing with the earlier arrival. After a difficult trek, they paused to rest and replenish their energy with Spirit Qi Liquid. Their break was interrupted when a flaming tree attacked, forcing them to dodge its vine-like tendrils.

The flaming tree missed its first strike and then resumed its relentless assault.

The thick vines were like two pythons, rushing towards the two men.

It seemed intent on piercing through Chen Yang’s body.

"Stop being dazed, act quickly and deal with this thing."

Chen Yang immediately activated his Cultivation Technique, Mad Bull Fist!

Tu Qi didn’t dare be careless either, pulling out two kitchen knives, he began to execute his unique specialty, Thirty-two Knife Skills!

Clang clang clang...

The two immediately engaged in battle with the two vines.

The vines were exceptionally agile, dodging left and right like swimming dragons.

The attacks came in various cunning maneuvers.

And although they were vines, they were extremely tough.

Neither Chen Yang’s Mad Bull Fist nor Tu Qi’s Thirty-two Knife Skills could damage them in the slightest.

They could only force them to retreat.

At first, the two managed to cope reasonably well.

But as the battle dragged on, both started to sense something was amiss.

If they continued like this, something bad would happen eventually.

This flaming tree was originally part of this world.

It had long adapted to everything here.

While they had just entered this mystical realm.

The oppressive force here greatly limited their power.

Even their movement techniques couldn’t be fully utilized.

If this continued, how could they ever defeat the flaming tree?

"Tu Qi, we can’t keep dragging this out! We need to find a way to get closer to its core," Chen Yang said while using Mad Bull Fist.

"I can’t get close to it, you try. I’ll hold it off for you."

Tu Qi replied with difficulty.

The attacks from the flaming tree were fierce, making it hard for Tu Qi to withstand.

Seeing this, Chen Yang realized he was the only one who could do it.

"Okay! You hold it off for me, I’ll go!"

Chen Yang responded loudly and then intensified his Mad Bull Fist execution.

Booom!!

The powerful punch produced a mad bull’s bellow.

Just then, the vine lashed towards him like a whip.

He dodged smoothly and simultaneously unleashed the Power of the Mad Bull.

The Power of the Mad Bull gathered in his right hand, and he fiercely punched the vine as it whistled by him.

The vine was protected by raging flames, making it impervious to any harm.

However, Chen Yang’s punch generated tremendous inertia.

With a powerful thrust, the vine was sent flying tens of meters away, towards Tu Qi.

The vine seemed to possess a will of its own.

After being knocked away by Chen Yang’s punch, its head even shook slightly, as if disoriented by the force.

When it regained clarity, it immediately tried to whip back towards Chen Yang.

Tu Qi seized the opportunity, chopping down on it with a kitchen knife.

"Your opponent is me!"

Tu Qi’s Thirty-two Knife Skills were incredibly potent, and as he hacked the vine, the flames on it visibly shrank.

It seemed hurt.

"Chen Yang, hurry, I’ll handle things here."

Having stopped the vine, Tu Qi shouted urgently to Chen Yang.

"Alright."

From a distance, seeing that Tu Qi could still hold on, Chen Yang wasted no more time, immediately drawing the Stone-Cutting Sword and charging towards the flaming tree’s core.

Despite the oppressive force limiting his ability to fly and his movement techniques,

Chen Yang’s speed remained swift.

Within a couple of breaths, he was already wielding the Stone-Cutting Sword in front of the flaming tree.

This tree stood over ten meters tall, with lush branches and leaves.

The two vines extended from its trunk, and from the base, one could see the vines twisting wildly.

Looking back, he saw Tu Qi now battling the two vines.

The vines thrashed like fiery serpents.

Fortunately, Tu Qi’s combat skills were not weak, and he could manage.

"Die!"

Chen Yang, in front of the core, immediately executed the Triple Slash Sword Technique.

A sharp Sword Qi shot straight towards the core.

Boom...

The Sword Qi struck the flaming tree, producing a dull sound.

Subsequently, magma began to slowly seep from the Sword Qi’s impact site.

Chen Yang was momentarily taken aback.

Then he realized, these flaming trees relied on fire to survive.

And the leaking magma likely sustained their existence.

If the flaming tree were compared to a human, then the magma was its blood.

Chen Yang found newfound vigor.

Unable to harm the vines but capable of injuring its core was sufficient.

"Triple Slash Sword Technique! Gathering Spirit Seal! Mad Bull Fist..."

Knowing his attack was effective, Chen Yang furiously attacked the core.

Alternating his Cultivation Techniques, his Sword Qi rampaged, all directed at the flaming tree’s core.

In no time, many wounds covered the flaming tree’s trunk, and magma gushed out instead of merely seeping.

Seeing this, Chen Yang was overjoyed.

If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before the flaming tree couldn’t endure any longer.

Just as he was about to deliver the final blow to the flaming tree, Tu Qi’s urgent shout echoed from behind him.

"Chen Yang, watch out, the vine is heading your way."

The flaming tree was in its final throes. Though not very intelligent, it had a survival instinct in the face of death.

Both vines abruptly withdrew, surging towards Chen Yang’s back at incredible speed.

Chen Yang had no choice but to temporarily abandon his attack on the flaming tree’s core and deal with the vines instead.

The attack on the flaming tree seemed to have angered the vines.

The returning vines attacked Chen Yang like enraged dragons.

Relentlessly whipping and pounding, they aimed to kill Chen Yang.

Chen Yang executed his Swordsmanship, dodging and blocking to prevent the vines from finding an opening.

"Chen Yang, are you okay?"

Breathlessly, Tu Qi had caught up.

The rapid withdrawal of the vines had caught him off guard and unable to react.

"I’m fine, hurry and focus on the core,"

Chen Yang urged Tu Qi while desperately defending himself.

"Got it."

Tu Qi took a couple of deep breaths, then immediately swung his kitchen knife at the flaming tree’s core.

The vines were entangled with Chen Yang, unable to attend elsewhere.

Tu Qi moved as if unimpeded, steadily hacking at the tree with his knives.

Boom...

Previously heavily wounded by Chen Yang, the tree trunk was riddled with gushing magma wounds, and when struck by Tu Qi’s knife, how could it hold on?

With a boom, the tree trunk exploded into a mass of magma.

With the core’s destruction, the two vines were powerless and also turned to magma.

Dissipating within the forest.

Once the flaming tree became magma, the magma quickly flowed into the ground or was absorbed by smaller surrounding flaming trees.

Serving as nourishment for the other flaming trees.

"This is bizarre. Who exactly is this Fire Sun True Monarch? It’s one thing to leave a residence, but creating so many traps is truly life-threatening."

Exhausted, Tu Qi slumped to the ground, breathing heavily while venting his frustrations.

Chen Yang was also somewhat weary.

The oppressive force here was just too intense.

Fighting under such pressure was akin to ordinary people battling with weights, the exhaustion level is unimaginable.

Furthermore, the flaming tree was quite powerful.

Though it lacked a clear Realm, judging by the toughness of its vines and overall performance,

it was certainly no less than a mid-stage Condensation expert.
