After Wang Yuan's treachery, two factions remained wary of each other while waiting for a formation to collapse. Chen Yang, knowing Wang Yuan was dead by his hand, watched the standoff. The formation eventually failed, but a residual trap activated, killing one impatient sect member. As the formation fully dissipated, a mysterious person in black rushed in, followed closely by Chen Yang. They entered an empty hall, leaving others to follow.

Where’s the promised opportunity?

Where’s the Heavenly Spirit Fire?

Why is there nothing at all?

The two were just beginning to feel puzzled when the others also rushed into the grand hall one after another.

After entering the grand hall, they looked at the empty expanse and were all momentarily stunned.

"What’s going on? Where did the opportunity go?"

"Impossible, it’s impossible that there’s nothing. There must be an opportunity here."

...

The crowd refused to believe that there was absolutely nothing in the grand hall of Fire Sun True Monarch.

Some people thought that the opportunity must require something to trigger it, so they began searching within the grand hall.

Meanwhile, Old Li had originally been at odds with Chen Yang, and started to concoct his own ideas, putting blame on them.

"It must be the two of you, you two were the first ones inside. Did you take all the opportunities the moment you entered?" Old Li pointed at Chen Yang and the man in black said.

Initially, the source of everyone’s conflict wasn’t even focused on Chen Yang and the man in black.

But with Old Li leading the way, the others immediately turned their accusations toward them.

"Right, we don’t believe there’s no opportunity here. Did you two secretly take it, which is why it’s so empty?"

"Fellow cultivators, opportunities are for everyone. Isn’t it too much that you selfishly monopolize them?"

"Hand over the opportunities, or you two won’t leave this grand hall alive today."

...

In an instant, everyone started to verbally attack Chen Yang and the man in black.

They began to believe that the empty grand hall was because Chen Yang and the man in black had already cleared it out.

Listening to the accusations, both Chen Yang and the man in black laughed.

"Do none of you use your brains? How much earlier did I come in than you? Do I have a divine ability to clear the place out instantly? There’s nothing here to begin with!" The man in black sneered coldly, directly retorting.

Normally, people would think that in such a short time, it would be impossible to collect all the valuable items without leaving any trace.

Yet, faced with an empty grand hall, they couldn’t accept it.

They had to find an excuse to comfort themselves, so they refused to think it through and forcibly concluded that Chen Yang and the man in black had taken everything away.

"Nonsense! How can such a vast palace have absolutely nothing? I bet you took it all."

"Exactly, you’d better hand the stuff over yourself, or you won’t be done with us."

...

A group of thoughtless people, full of aggression, seemed ready to engage in a big fight with the two.

The man in black chuckled angrily, casually saying, "If you really have the skills to do so, then go ahead and try, a bunch of brainless people."

Those people were already focused on their anger towards the man in black.

Upon hearing his taunt, it naturally infuriated them.

"Fine, you brought this on yourself, don’t blame others for what’s to come."

Someone coldly snorted and decisively acted.

He leapt up, operating spiritual energy through his meridians, and used his sword finger to directly shoot a dark arrow of spiritual energy aimed at the man in black’s head.

Seemingly wanting to kill the man in black with a single strike.

Faced with such an attack, the man in black easily slapped his palm, shattering the dark energy force.

Then his right hand delivered another palm strike firmly onto the attacker’s chest.

Thud...

In just a single exchange, the attacker was instantly defeated.

Hit so hard with a palm that he spat blood and flew horizontally away.

He crashed heavily into the bronze wall of the palace, letting out a muffled groan, and then fell to the ground, life and death unknown.

Seeing this, the others who were just about to make a move showed expressions of fear.

Their steps, initially eager to charge forward, quickly halted, no longer daring to advance.

The combat strength the man in black showcased was overwhelmingly powerful.

He acted decisively.

In just a single encounter, he had instantly defeated someone at the early-stage Condensation realm.

Most of them were also at the early-stage Condensation realm, how could they dare to approach?

Wouldn’t that be seeking death?

"Still want to fight? All at once or one by one?" The man in black questioned coldly.

One by one, they were flustered and dared not approach.

Seeing no one responded, the slight golden light that had just flickered in the man’s black eyes gradually subsided.

Clearly, if they had decided to rush him, the man in black was ready to start a killing spree.

Just like when she dealt with the flame lion at the entrance with golden eyes, starting a massacre, rapidly increasing her power.

After no one spoke, the man in black no longer cared about them and directly strolled forward, heading deeper into the grand hall.

At the depths of the grand hall, upon the steps, was a throne carved with intricately lifelike flame patterns.

It was clear that was the position of Fire Sun True Monarch.

Under the gaze of everyone, the man in black walked to the base of the steps.

At the very moment she reached the base, there was a booming sound as the door closed.

Everyone was startled, frantically glancing around.

Soon someone noticed that the door to the grand hall behind them had closed!

Someone panicked and rushed to open the door.

But the door seemed locked, no matter what, they couldn’t open it.

"What’s going on, why did the door close?"

"Can anyone explain what’s weird about Huoyang True Monarch Palace?"

"Is this a trap?"

...

The sudden door closure caused many timid people to grow anxious, fearing they couldn’t escape.

Yet, Chen Yang wasn’t worried at all.

Fire Sun True Monarch leaving a cave dwelling suggests he wanted to leave future generations an opportunity.

How could he set a trap to kill them?

The sudden closure of the door must have a way to open it; otherwise, the existence of this grand hall would be meaningless.

Their strength compared to Fire Sun True Monarch is as insignificant as ants; if he genuinely wanted to kill them, he wouldn’t have let them reach this point.

Chen Yang was entirely unflustered and proceeded deeper into the grand hall.

As Chen Yang approached, suddenly on either side of the grand hall, it seemed that some mechanism was triggered.

From beneath the floor, dozens of lanterns emerged.

Each lantern bore flames burning on it.

The scene instantly turned strange.

"This... This is Spiritual Fire!"

Everyone was initially shocked but then immensely delighted.

They recognized that the flames on those lanterns were Spiritual Fire.

And each one was different!

"Opportunity, opportunity, a heaven-sent opportunity, so many Beast Spirit Fires."

Those who reacted laughed wildly, wanting to rush forward to collect those Beast Spirit Fires.

Hearing the commotion, Chen Yang also turned around to observe the lanterns nearby.

He was genuinely startled.

They truly were Spiritual Fires.

This aura was too familiar, almost indistinguishable from the aura around Sun Xiaosheng.

But soon, he noticed something peculiar.

He sensed that these Spiritual Fires seemed somewhat different from Sun Xiaosheng’s Spiritual Fire.

So, he hesitated.

Instead, he watched Jin City Lord and others, looking frantic in their attempts to seize those Beast Spirit Fires.

But no matter what method they used, they couldn’t succeed.

Several people were too impatient, resulting in severe burns from the Beast Spirit Fire, leaving them severely injured and vomiting blood, their situation was very bleak.

"What’s going on, why can’t we seize so many Beast Spirit Fires?"

"Just seize them for me!!"

Some gradually realized something was amiss and started to halt their attempts to seize them.
