Chapter 690: Chapter 689: The Struggle

"Isn’t this the Fire Swallowing Treasure Bottle I left behind that year?"

"What in the world is the Qiankun Pot up to? Didn’t I tell it to take it back? Why is it still here?"

Ye Xuan was surprised when he saw the treasure bottle.

He had once conducted alchemy here and, noticing the vigorous Earth Fire of this place, he had dropped a Fire Swallowing Bottle, intending to collect some Earth Fire to take back to the Qiankun Palace.

However, later on, when he had to leave the Qiankun Palace, Ye Xuan had instructed the Qiankun Pot to keep an eye on it and find a time to retrieve the Fire Swallowing Bottle.

Unexpectedly, the Fire Swallowing Bottle was still here.

Boom————

At that moment, the Red Divine Bull, whose four hooves trod on fiery flames, was fighting the golden lion, causing mountains to collapse and the sun and the moon to darken.

Each collision shook the heavens and moved spirits.

Clearly, these two beasts also wanted to snatch the Fire Swallowing Bottle.

After looking around, Ye Xuan muttered, "Forget it. I always need to borrow fire for alchemy; it would be convenient to take this Fire Swallowing Bottle back for use in alchemy."

Boom boom boom————

However, just then, the various prodigies from the East Desolation Domain had already set off towards the Fire Swallowing Treasure Bottle, attempting to snatch it away.

Although they did not know exactly what this object was, they were aware of the immense power it contained and its great utility!

The Overlords of East Desolation had been eyeing the Fire Swallowing Treasure Bottle for a very long time and definitely would not miss out!

"Charge!"

The faction from the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty naturally did not want to miss out either. With a command from the Eighth Prince, everyone charged out.

Wei Qing from the Medicine Pavilion, Chang Zuhua from the Myriad Artifacts Saint Sect, and others also took action.

They had long sensed the power contained in this treasure, which was of great use to them.

This competition for the treasure would undoubtedly be fought with all their might!

"This item belongs to my Fierce Sun Heavenly Sect!" The Fierce Sun Saint, who had spoken earlier, took the lead, his entire being like a Divine Sun traversing the skies, overwhelming everyone present.

"The same phrase still applies, ’to the capable go the spoils!’" The Little Peng King transformed into a streak of golden rainbow, instantly piercing through the sky, reaching extreme speeds.

The Little Peng King, also known as the Golden Peng Saint, was originally a Golden Peng known for his speed. Not only among his peers, but even Saint Realm powerhouses might not be able to catch up with him!

Almost instantly, the Little Peng King had surpassed the Fierce Sun Saint.

"I will clear the enemies; you go for the treasure." At the same time, the Giant Spirit Valley people also made their move.

Their conviction was firm, believing the treasure to be the Giant Spirit Holy Blood, so they wouldn’t miss it.

Giant Spirit Changtian stood up instantly, his hundred-foot giant body exuding an extreme oppressive force. As he moved, the very ground trembled beneath his steps.

"What? Giant Spirit Valley is joining this fight too?"

The movement of the Giant Spirit Clan caused a sudden shock.

Giant Spirit Valley had always been known for its peaceful demeanor to outsiders, with the Giant Spirit Clan regarded as approachable.

Nobody really expected the Giant Spirit Clan would participate in this competition.

Just as Giant Spirit Changtian was about to reach the volcano cluster, he leaped ferociously. His colossal form instantly rose into the air, and then, with a sweeping force, he pressed down against the prodigies from the other Overlords of East Desolate.

"Damn it!" The Little Peng King was originally close to the treasure, but after being attacked by Giant Spirit Changtian, he was forced to quickly dodge to the side.

Boom!

The others, without the speed of the Little Peng King, had to hastily face Giant Spirit Changtian’s strike, resulting in a loud crash. Everyone, whether it was the Eighth Prince, Fierce Sun Saint, Chang Zuhua, or others, was blasted away in a wretched state.

"So strong!"

That scene was shocking.

One must know that these people who had taken action held great fame in East Desolate, being this generation’s most brilliant figures. Yet now, they were easily repelled by someone, which was indeed surprising.

"Is this the might of the Giant Spirit Clan?"

The Heavenly Martial Divine Son and others, who had yet to take action, were astounded upon witnessing that scene.

"Forget it. We won’t compete for this object." Heavenly Martial Divine Son whispered.

They didn’t feel the need to contend for this item; seeing even the Giant Spirit Clan taking action, they totally lost the will to compete.

Apart from Heavenly Martial Divine Son, Li Jichuan from the Purple Mist Sect, Ye Qingyue from the Red Sparrow Institute, and others also decided not to intervene.

Nevertheless, Long Aotian from the Divine Dragon Azure Sea of the Long Family charged forward.

"Let’s go!"

Meanwhile, Giant Spirit Changcun, Giant Spirit Hao, and others protecting the Giant Spirit Mountain emerged from a corner and headed straight for the Fire Swallowing Treasure Bottle.

"Moo!"

"Roar!"

But at the same time, such a situation had also startled the Fiery Divine Bull and the Golden Lion, which were in the midst of battle—they ceased fighting each other and charged towards the people of the Giant Spirit Clan.

Boom———

In an instant, the Fiery Divine Bull opened its mouth wide and spouted a column of fire thousands of feet high, scorching the heavens.

The Golden Lion, on the other hand, evolved into nine lion heads, each emitting a roar.

This was the true Lion Roar Skill, with sound waves shaking heaven and earth, distorting the void, and impacting everyone present.

Those of weaker power even exploded into pieces and died on the spot.

Cultivators watching from a distance had no choice but to retreat even further.

The previously dominant Giant Spirit Changtian was also showing a pained expression.

"The opportunity has come!" Lin Feiyan, who had been observing in secret, immediately sealed his hearing and turned into a streak of fiery light, shooting straight for the Fire Swallowing Treasure Bottle.

"This Lin Feiyan indeed has some schemes," Song Qilin mused from afar, detecting Lin Feiyan’s move. However, he had no intention of intervening, for he had no interest in competing for the treasure.

He was merely there to observe.

The situation on the field was extremely chaotic; too many people were making their move. Additionally, the presence of the Giant Spirit Clan and the two Fierce Beasts made the scene even more tumultuous.

"In the struggle for treasures, who knows how many will die," the Purple Mist Sect’s Divine Son Li Jichuan couldn’t help but shake his head as he said.

This trip to Hengduan Mountain, the Purple Mist Sect had already reaped a great harvest, hence they were not too eager to join the fray.

No sooner said than done.

Seizing the right moment to act, Lin Feiyan turned into a streak of fire, rushing towards the Fire Swallowing Treasure Bottle, his eyes sparkling with fierce excitement.

"This treasure is mine!" Lin Feiyan thought excitedly as he gazed at the Fire Swallowing Treasure Bottle, which was within arm’s reach.

Whoosh!

But just as Lin Feiyan was about to touch the Fire Swallowing Treasure Bottle, it suddenly turned into a streak of light and, with the speed of lightning, flew away.

Lin Feiyan was stunned. Could this treasure be sentient?

He followed the direction in which the Fire Swallowing Treasure Bottle had disappeared.

The next moment, Lin Feiyan’s pupils contracted as he said in disbelief, "Ye Xuan!?"

Sure enough, at the edge of his vision, stood a black-robed youth holding the Fire Swallowing Treasure Bottle, inspecting it.

If that wasn’t Ye Xuan, who else could it be?

Lin Feiyan’s expression darkened suddenly, and without saying a word, he turned into a blaze of fire and rushed towards Ye Xuan.

A treasure already in hand—how could it be snatched away?

"The treasure has been stolen by Lin Feiyan!"

Meanwhile, those in the midst of battle had also noticed Lin Feiyan’s figure, and they became furious, roaring and rushing towards Lin Feiyan.

The Fiery Divine Bull and the Golden Lion had also changed their target, heading towards Lin Feiyan.

Whoosh!

At the same time, the Golden Peng King showed his true form, transforming into a thirty-foot Golden Peng and speeding through the air, arriving above Lin Feiyan in an instant and bellowing, "Hand over the treasure, and I’ll spare your life."

"Get lost!" Lin Feiyan, with fury surging in his heart, retorted sharply.

"Seeking death!" The Golden Peng King, who was none other than the Golden Peng Divine Son of the Six Demon Sect, was instantly enraged upon hearing that, his wings unfurling as thousands of golden lights transformed into arrows, crashing down towards Lin Feiyan like a torrential downpour.

Hiss hiss hiss———

Sharp sounds of cutting through the air erupted.

"War God Body, activate!" Lin Feiyan, enraged, also set off his anger, immediately activating the War God Body.

Once the War God Body was activated, a golden light burst forth from Lin Feiyan’s body.

Right after, Lin Feiyan retaliated with a grasp of his hand.

Boom boom boom———

In a brief moment, a terrifying force burst into being from the heavens and earth, eradicating all of the golden lights the Golden Peng Divine Son had fired.

"This guy is so strong..." The Golden Peng King watched in surprise, his eyes narrowing, not having expected Lin Feiyan’s strength.

It looked like he had underestimated Lin Feiyan.

But for the sake of the treasure, the Golden Peng King couldn’t let Lin Feiyan off.

"What a scene."

Just then, a calm voice suddenly emerged from ahead.

The Golden Peng King looked up, only to startle and exclaim, "Ye Xuan?"

"Weren’t you dead?"
