The Peach Blossom She-devil looked at Qingfeng Li, saying, "It's too dangerous in the Tomb of Sun Monarch. Even I feel the inhibition inside and my power seemed to be restrained somehow."

Qingfeng Li nodded, saying, "Of course. It's the place where the Sun Monarch was buried. He was the Planet Ruler and conquered the entire Crimson Fire Continent, controlling the vital energy of the whole planet. Everyone will feel suppressed here."

Ahhh…

Suddenly, a few more screams came from the front. Some more self-cultivators were killed and cried out eerily.

Qingfeng Li frowned for he sensed the smell of blood from the front.

They walked into a tunnel at the beginning, but it turned very spacious after they passed through, looking like a boundless grassland.

The Sun Monarch Tomb was truly luxurious, with such a large space underground. It was like a small world, with actually an undulating grassland.

Qingfeng Li looked forward and found thousands of self-cultivators not far from him. They all gathered there, stopped by something.

Qingfeng Li walked forward and found it was a giant river in front of them. This river was a thousand feet wide and ran through the entire tomb without a visible end.

In this river, there was no water but red flames.

The red flames filled up the river, running through the tomb, burning like lava and blocking their way.

The screams they heard before were from some self-cultivators that were devoured by the red flames when they tried to fly through the river.

The Peach Blossom She-Devil turned stern after seeing the river, saying, "It's not flame, but fire essence. This river is called the Fire Essence River."

Qingfeng Li turned serious. He knew the power of fire essence because he had the Golden Flames. The fire essence was refined from flames and was more powerful and could attack others on its own will.

The river before them was completely made of fire essence and was called the Fire Essence River. It was extremely powerful and was very difficult to pass through even for masters in the spirit monarch realm.

Qingfeng Li looked over and saw Huozhu Chi had taken out an Eight-Trigrams Compass. The compass was red as the color of flames. Huozhu Chi threw the Eight-Trigrams Compass in the air and turned it into a compass thousands of feet wide.

The compass shined red talisman scripts, each one of which stood for the flame force of the heaven and earth. One would feel stung and burned once they took a look at them.

Huozhu Chi waved his hand and then jumped onto the compass, followed by hundreds of self-cultivators behind him.

The compass was a Dharma treasure in the ninth level of the monarch realm, which was extremely powerful. It flew in the air and blocked the burning fire essence.

The fire essence in the river rushed toward the compass and was all resisted by the defense force. Huozhu Chi brought his minions across the Fire Essence River a moment later.

Qingfeng Li frowned and said in a low voice, "He is worthy to be the descendant of the Planet Ruler, taking out a Dharma treasure of the ninth level of the monarch realm this casually. No wonder they can pass through the Fire Essence River safely."

At this moment, Qingfeng Li realized the power of the descendant of Crimson Fire Monarch, who would never be killed by normal people. He had to plan well.

Behind Huozhu Chi, Linglong Xue took out a bottle of over a foot tall. It was not white or black but was red, bloody red.

It was carved with patterns of blood flowers, looked like a blood ocean with turbulent waves, shocking the heaven and earth. Seeing the bottle, the surrounding self-cultivators all drew a deep breath and stepped backward, daring not to get close.

This bottle was infamous in the self-cultivation world; many people had been devoured and refined into blood by it.

It was said that a monarch of a top-tier dynasty once took liberties with Linglong Xue, and then was devoured by the bottle, as well as millions of self-cultivators of that dynasty. Since then, people started to call Linglong Xue the number one she-devil on the Crimson Fire Continent.

Qingfeng Li clearly felt the power of the red bottle. Even his soul shook a little bit.

Qingfeng Li had a feeling that even he could hardly stop the red bottle.

Qingfeng Li asked the Peach Blossom She-Devil by his side, "Do you know the background of the bloody bottle?"

The Peach Blossom She-Devil nodded with a pale face and terrified look, saying, "The bottle in Linglong Xue's hand is called the Blood Demon Bottle and is known as the number one bottle of the Devilish Dao. It was said that the Blood Sea Monarch gave this treasure to his sister Linglong Xue. It is super powerful and can refine anyone below the Eighth Level of the Spirit monarch realm. It will be almost impossible to defeat her unless you are the Planet Ruler."

Qingfeng Li nodded and understood the background of this Blood Demon Bottle.

He had an assumption that this Blood Demon Bottle might come from the ancient devilish Saint. Otherwise, it couldn't be this powerful.

Linglong Xue threw the Blood Demon Bottle into the air and turned it into a bottle of thousands of feet large. Then she stepped slightly on the ground and landed on the Blood Demon Bottle, along with the self-cultivators behind her.

The Blood Demon Bottle flew forward, splitting the fire essence in the river apart. The fire essence was scared of Blood Demon Bottle's power too and was afraid to be devoured.

The next moment, Linglong Xue disappeared far forward with the rest. Fire Essence River could hardly stop her. As the sister of Blood Sea Monarch, she was truly powerful.

After Huozhu Chi and Linglong Xue crossing the river, Jun Po also took out his White Jade Halberd, throwing it down as it grew until it was several thousands of feet long. Then he led the self-cultivators around him across the Fire Essence River, using it as a bridge.

Qingfeng Li's face revealed a touch of confusion. He felt this White Jade Halberd was very similar to his Sky-Breaking Halberd after careful observation. They were exactly the same except the color and material.

Qingfeng Li really wanted to grab the White Jade Halberd over and fuse it with his Sky-Breaking Halberd, to see what would happen.

Xie Ming then made a weird howl, saying, "Me next."

Xie Ming then threw his black scepter over Fire Essence River. It turned into a giant scepter thousands of feet long, shining with horrifying black lights.

The black lights were black Saint flames. The fire essence all separated, not daring to get close. Then Xie Ming also flew forward with his minions and disappeared over the Fire Essence River.
