The Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword, carrying Yang Fire, quickly reached the Fire Fox.

As Qin Xin thrust out his sword, he felt a blockage, as if he could not advance any further.

"Bang!"

A crisp metallic clang rang out, and the Nine Flames Battle Immortal Sword was sent flying.

Feeling a sharp pain in his hand, Qin Xin quickly retreated.

At this moment, the fire fox was surrounded by surging flames, and the deep red fur on its head burst out with a dazzling light.

Through his spiritual sense, Qin Xin could feel the changes in the fire fox. The huge wounds caused by the impact of the low-level Earth-rank martial art, Wildfire Hundred Slashes, were rapidly healing, and its beastly eyes were emitting a strange red light.

"A demonic beast at the Yuanfu Realm!"

Seeing the changes in the fire fox and the aura it exuded, Qin Xin's pupils suddenly shrank.

Immediately, sixteen fire blades appeared rapidly behind him.

Faced with the changes in the Fire Fox, Qin Xin dared not be careless and directly condensed sixteen fire blades. This was the most fire blades Qin Xin could condense at the same time after entering the first level of the Qi Sea Realm.

With a thought, Qin Xin attached his spiritual power to the fire blade, and then began to fuse the fire blade together.

"Stain! Stain! Stain..."

The impact of the violent energy continuously generated this enormous sound.

The fire fox seemed to possess intelligence, and it also knew the terrifying nature of the attack behind Qin Xin, so the power within its body rapidly gathered.

"Click! Click! Click!"

A crisp sound rang out.

The fire fox's body seemed to have developed a deep red exoskeleton, radiating a scorching aura.

"Bang!"

As the fire fox slammed its limbs into the ground, sand and gravel flew everywhere, and flames spread in all directions.

At this moment, the fire blade behind Qin Xin had already condensed, mixed with orange yang fire and purple air currents.

The moment it was thrown out, the fire fox opened its blood-red maw and launched a swift attack.

Because it was within the Spirit Realm, Qin Xin's attack was completely unrestrained. He also wanted to know the strongest power he could unleash. As for the fact that one could only access the Strange Fire after passing the twenty-fifth level of the Spirit Realm, Qin Xin had already disregarded that.

"Bang!"

After the fire blade exploded, orange flames spread first, followed by purple lightning, and finally the entire spiritual realm was completely enveloped by the intense light emitted by the flames.

Once engulfed in flames, the fire fox continuously tore apart the incoming flames.

Even when the purple lightning struck its body, it only caused it to take a few steps back and did not cause much damage.

The exoskeleton formed by the deep red fur on the top of the fire fox's head has an astonishing defensive capability.

The flames raged for an unknown period of time, and it seemed that the exoskeleton began to melt as the power dissipated.

Meanwhile, Qin Xin was also struggling to endure the flames, the intense heat causing his body to tremble continuously.

"ah!"

Qin Xin couldn't help but cry out in pain, his consciousness gradually fading.

Within the Spirit Realm, a ripple flashed, and Qin Xin had already left the Spirit Realm.

At this moment, outside the Spirit Realm, Qin Xin sat upright on the ground, his forehead covered in cold sweat. Although he knew that death in this Spirit Realm was not real, the fear of death still haunted him for a while.

After slightly opening his eyes, Qin Xin looked around at his surroundings and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, you have successfully passed the twenty-fifth level!" The Eighth Elder's voice appeared in Qin Xin's mind.

Upon hearing that he had passed, Qin Xin's face showed some joy, because he was ultimately sent directly out of the Spirit Realm Space, and he was not sure about the final outcome.

However, what made Qin Xin even more delighted was that he had gained some understanding of his own final strength. Although he possessed the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern, a Qi Sea Realm martial artist would have no chance of winning against a Yuanfu Realm martial artist.

As for his eventual victory over the Fire Fox on the 25th floor, it was probably due to the limitations of strength within the Spirit Realm space.

After regaining his composure, Qin Xin bowed slightly to the Eighth Elder, who was dressed in a black robe, and said, "Eighth Elder, when will we go to the place where the strange fire is located?"

Qin Xin had not yet prepared all the necessary medicinal herbs for the strange fire in the Eastern Wilderness Academy, and only had one Fire-Repelling Pill, which was clearly insufficient to subdue the strange fire.

After glancing at Qin Xin, the Eighth Elder paused and said, "Seven days from now, only you and Wu Fa will be qualified to go to Kunmen this time."

"I never expected you to be able to overcome this twenty-fifth hurdle."

"These twenty-five levels are not simple. The illusions that appear in them are mostly the thoughts in the minds of martial artists. Such obsessions are impossible for ordinary people to break through, and their minds may even be shaken because of them."

"However, I must remind you that the strange fire also has this ability. Moreover, whether you can subdue the strange fire on this trip depends entirely on your luck. More importantly, after you enter the place where the strange fire is located, you need to place the array flag in a fixed place."

After hearing the Eighth Elder's introduction, Qin Xin knew that this matter was not simple. According to Dan Qing, this strange fire was sealed by the Eastern Wilderness Academy, so it would naturally have endless resentment towards these powerful people in the inner courtyard.

This is why the inner courtyard allows its disciples to set up the array flags. If the elders were to enter, they might cause the strange fire to become violent. If the strange fire were to break free of its seal, the entire inner courtyard would be turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"Thank you for informing me, Eighth Elder," Qin Xin said with a bow before turning and leaving the Spirit Realm Pavilion.

According to the Eighth Elder, many disciples from the Gan Sect and the other six sects successfully entered the twenty-fifth level on this trip. However, after being informed of the risks involved, only a small number of disciples chose to go. After all, the strange fire did not hold much appeal for many disciples, and it also posed a life-threatening danger.

Of course, the reason why the Eighth Elder told Qin Xin about the Strange Fire before entering the Spirit Realm was mainly because he was quite surprised by Qin Xin's perception. If Qin Xin failed to pass the twenty-fifth level, the Eighth Elder would use his authority to secure a spot for Qin Xin to enter.

As far as he was concerned, he hoped to suppress the strange fire again, because once it erupted, it would not only destroy the entire Eastern Wilderness Academy, but also likely affect the entire Great Xia Dynasty.

Personally, he also hoped that it wasn't disciples from other forces who would take away this strange fire. After all, for the Eastern Wilderness Academy, both the spiritual realm and the spiritual veins of each sect depended on this strange fire. Once the strange fire was lost, it would mean that the Eastern Wilderness Academy would no longer be able to help its disciples cultivate quickly as before, and the sect might gradually decline as a result.

Qin Xin is naturally a good choice.

Before leaving, Qin Xin gave the names of some medicinal herbs to the Eighth Elder. After passing the twenty-fifth level, Qin Xin received a reward of more than 10,000 spiritual energy, and he planned to use all of this spiritual energy to exchange for some medicinal herbs needed to subdue the strange fire.
