**

The Heavenly Flame in Lin Feng's palm suddenly erupted with a dazzling brilliance.

In just a brief moment, a highly intricate and complex formation of light began to take shape in the sky!

As soon as the formation appeared, the surrounding Heaven and Earth dou qi surged madly toward Lin Feng's position.

Above the sky, as it fused with the Heavenly Flame, the two quickly intertwined, forming a shape resembling a colossal alchemy cauldron.

Boom!

With a deep, ancient-sounding echo, a massive green flame cauldron erupted in the sky, covering nearly a hundred meters in all directions.

Lin Feng and the toad-like old man were both instantly wrapped within the boundaries of this fire cauldron!

Of course, while this setup seemed complicated, Lin Feng had executed it all in the blink of an eye.

"Hmm?"

Just as the flame cauldron stabilized, Lin Feng noticed something unusual.

His soul force—previously restricted—was now able to flow freely again.

That mysterious suppression that had kept his soul power from extending beyond a hundred meters had suddenly vanished.

Lin Feng's heart stirred. He immediately lessened the intensity of the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame reinforcing the walls of the cauldron.

Soon, he sensed an additional energy beginning to seep into the formation.

This made Lin Feng frown slightly.

He had a strange feeling… almost as if someone—or something—was deliberately manipulating this force from behind the scenes.

But he still allowed that mysterious soul-restricting energy to enter the formation.

After all, the opponent's soul strength far surpassed his own. With that restriction in place, Lin Feng would actually gain the upper hand.

At this moment, Old Chan Chu no longer carried his earlier air of calm detachment.

His gaze burned with intense greed as he stared fixedly at the wildly blazing green flame in Lin Feng's hand.

The moment that flame appeared, he had felt it clearly—his own Rank 8 Beast Flame had trembled with fear!

That flame was something he had paid a hefty price to obtain from a Four-Star Dou Zun-level fire-type magic beast.

Ordinary flames couldn't scare it in the slightest.

Which left only one explanation…

"This green flame… could it be one of the legendary Heavenly Flame—the sovereigns of all fire?!"

But then he frowned again.

This particular flame didn't match the appearance of any of the twenty-three flames listed on the Heavenly Flame Ranking.

The only one that bore some resemblance was the Green Lotus Core Flame, ranked nineteenth on the list.

But even that flame wasn't this vibrant in color.

And as far as he remembered, the Green Lotus Core Flame wasn't this terrifying in aura either.

Unable to figure it out, he turned his greedy gaze back toward the Glazed Lotus Heart Flame in Lin Feng's hand.

If he could obtain it, study it carefully, and then refine it into his own—a cruel grin curled his toad-like lips.

"Seems this old man's luck is excellent today. A rare, high-quality Heavenly Flame actually walked right into my lap."

Staring at the man disguised as a middle-aged cultivator, Old Chan Chu sneered coldly.

"Junior, since you've brought me this gift so kindly, I'll return the favor. Once I've killed you, I might even leave your body intact."

As an alchemist, he naturally couldn't resist the allure of a Heavenly Flame.

Especially when Lin Feng's dou qi strength was clearly far beneath his own.

No matter what—it was his flame now.

"Haha... then let's see who ends up alive today!"

Hearing the elder's words, Lin Feng chuckled softly. The Heavenly Flame within him suddenly surged outward!

Under the amplification of the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change, his dou qi skyrocketed—from Four-Star Dou Zong straight to the peak of five-star.

"As expected… even the First Change of the Skyfire Three Mysterious Change is starting to lag behind my pace."

Sensing that the transformation had only increased his strength by less than two stars, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Back when I was at Three-Star Dou Zong, this Skyfire Three Mysterious Change could still boost me by a full two stars… But now, it's already starting to lose its effectiveness."

"The Skyfire Three Mysterious Change… from Blazing Flame Valley?!"

When Old Chan Chu sensed Lin Feng's sudden increase in power, his expression changed dramatically.

"Are you from Blazing Flame Valley?!"

But then, a dark glint flashed through his eyes.

If he could obtain that Heavenly Flame from Lin Feng, with its amplification, perhaps his alchemy skills would break through to a whole new level.

His expression grew vicious again as he said coldly: "Hmph, I don't care who you are. This Heavenly Flame—I'm taking it today no matter what!"

With a roar, a crimson flame rapidly gathered in his palm, quickly condensing into a long, blazing-red blade.

Seeing this, Lin Feng's lips curled upward in a faint smile.

"He hasn't noticed… As expected, even a peak seventh-tier alchemist can't easily detect the subtle flame threads hidden within this array."

"Die!"

Old Chan Chu slashed the fiery longsword and shot forward like a comet toward Lin Feng.

Seeing his opponent's rapidly approaching figure, Lin Feng remained calm and unmoving—he didn't even try to dodge.

But as Old Chan Chu closed to within one hundred meters, his expression suddenly shifted.

He could faintly sense something… off about Lin Feng.

"Whoosh!"

Just as doubt flashed across the elder's mind, a vague silhouette suddenly shot out from the snow-white storage ring on Lin Feng's finger!

The figure materialized—a soul form holding a gleaming soul sword, slashing directly toward Old Chan Chu!

"A Nine-Star Dou Zong-level soul body?!"

The elder was stunned. As a high-ranking alchemist, he instantly recognized what this was.

And he also knew…anyone whose soul could reach this level—had most likely been a Dou Zun in life!

The realization hit him like thunder.

"I've been ambushed…"

But as he looked again at that incredibly tempting Heavenly Flame, he simply couldn't bear to abandon it and flee.

Gritting his teeth, he raised the fiery longsword in his hand and slashed toward the soul form!

Clang!

The fiery blade and the soul sword clashed fiercely with all their might!

The violent impact sent shockwaves crashing across the entire flaming cauldron formation.

The resulting violent energy storm slammed into the walls of the fire cauldron, causing the entire array to tremble violently!

Lin Feng quickly increased his energy output to stabilize the formation, while also taking action of his own.

He flicked his hand, and with a flash of faint light—three fierce silver figures appeared before him!

"Go!"

With a single command, the three silver puppets shot toward Old Chan Chu with blinding speed!

As they flew through the air, all three raised their massive, sandbag-sized fists—and punched straight at him in unison!

"Puppets… from the ancient era?! Long thought lost?!"

Old Chan Chu was once again shaken.

Two of the silver puppets were at peak Seven-Star Dou Zong, and the third was Six-Star Dou Zong.

Three ancient-grade puppets, coming at him all at once!
