In the dark realm.

With the appearance of Mantis King and Jing Ke, the fire spirit body seemed to feel threatened.

All the flame energy that was originally released was recovered.

Immediately, the ball of fire, about the size of a fist, squirmed strangely and turned into a fire mantis.

Its entire body is as red as fire, and its shape is exactly the same as that of the Mantis King.

Seeing this, Lin Hao was slightly surprised.

It seems that the intelligence of this fire spirit is not low. The beast species it transformed into actually chose the Mantis King with stronger combat power.

"Mantis King, come on!"

Lin Hao raised his eyebrows slightly and gave a direct order.

With the Mantis King's current combat power of 100,000, which is comparable to the fourth level of the Holy Domain, it is not difficult for him to deal with the Fire Spirit.

Swish——!

The Mantis King received the order and rushed out instantly.

The two pairs of blade limbs brought out sharp edges and slashed fiercely at the fire mantis.

Seeing this, the fire mantis did not retreat and suddenly raised its feet to resist.

“clang!”

The moment the two beasts collided, fire splashed and the sound was as sharp as the sound of metal clashing.

The blazing red flames immediately spread along the mantis king's blade-like limbs to his entire body, as if wanting to devour it and turn it into nourishment for its evolution.

However, the Mantis King's evolved form is now the energy body of the Dark Flame Spirit, not a flesh and blood body.

This kind of flame did not cause any burning pain to it.

laugh!

The mantis king's body shook slightly, and cold black flames surged out, directly swallowing the red fire on his body.

Immediately, its cold eyes locked onto the figure of the fire mantis, and without any delay, it rushed up again and engaged in a fight directly with it.

clang clang clang!!!

For a moment, extremely harsh collision sounds rang out like a rainstorm.

Bang--!

At a certain moment, the Mantis King used its skill "Flame Slash".

The powerful force directly knocked the fire mantis flying backwards.

The direction was exactly towards Lin Hao.

"Jing Ke, go ahead!"

Lin Hao seized the opportunity and gave decisive orders.

whoosh!

Jing Ke instantly rushed out like an arrow.

The fire mantis's legs, which were as sharp as blades, twisted wildly, and its body suddenly exploded, turning into a sky full of flames.

“Ah—”

However, a scream was heard amid the fire.

The fire elf body was obviously not dead.

At this moment, Lin Hao's powerful spiritual consciousness radiated, and he quickly found the specific location of the fire spirit in the dark area.

However, at this moment, the fire spirit had recovered its flame spirit body, its light was dim and it looked listless.

After locking onto the fire spirit's position, Lin Hao suddenly leaped up.

boom!

As the Devouring Starry Sky was performed, the palm covered with black air seemed to penetrate the void and grab the fire spirit.

The fire spirit instinctively felt fear and wanted to escape, but it was severely injured at this time, so how could it escape from Lin Hao?

Grabbing the fire spirit, the spiritual energy protection shield in Lin Hao's palm suddenly emitted a burning sound.

In the blink of an eye, a small hole was burned in the protective spiritual energy shield.

Lin Hao directly transformed into a dragon man fighting form. Although his palms were burning, he was not hurt under the protection of the scales.

Then, Lin Hao quickly cast a series of sealing runes, all covering the fire spirit.

“Shhhhhh!!”

The fire spirit resisted violently and suddenly erupted with a strong flame. Then, sealing runes fell one by one and were burned to ashes in an instant.

Lin Hao remained unmoved, and his fingers engraved runes faster and faster.

After one rune was burned, more sealing runes appeared in the blink of an eye and covered it again.

As a result, the runes continued to increase and became thicker and thicker.

The fire spirit's resistance became weaker and weaker, until it was finally completely sealed.

"Done."

Lin Hao sighed lightly, then called up the system storage space and placed it directly inside.

Now is not a good time to absorb the fire essence.

After all, the energy of high-level fire essence is extremely rich and strong.

Even if he used the devouring martial arts, it would probably not be able to consume it in a short while.

Besides, we are now in the Fire Chain Bridge and we don’t know if the fire spirit will appear again. We can only choose to seal it for the time being.

With a change of mind, Lin Hao waved his hand, recalled Jing Ke and the Mantis King, and directly removed the dark area.

"Look, the white-robed deacon has appeared."

As the black fog dissipated, the inner hall disciples outside looked slightly grim and cast surprised glances at him.

"Hmm? Why is there no movement? Where is the high-level fire spirit?"

"Could it be possible that he has gone into hiding?"

When they saw the quiet scene, everyone was quite surprised and immediately looked around.

"No need to look for it, the fire spirit has been subdued by him."

Among those present, only Lu Huateng saw the situation clearly and said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the inner hall disciples started laughing.

"Subdue?"

"Brother Lu, you must be kidding."

"The flame energy of a high-level fire spirit is extremely strong. Not to mention a third-level Saint Realm warrior, even a fourth-level Saint Realm warrior would find it difficult to subdue it."

They shook their heads, not believing it.

Lu Huateng ignored the suspicions of the people around him.

"Is this what a martial arts genius is like?"

He stared at Lin Hao's back as he walked forward again with burning eyes, and sighed inwardly with emotion.

Next, as Lin Hao successfully crossed the entire Fire Chain Bridge, the inner hall disciples finally reacted.

Could it be that the high-level fire spirit was really subdued by him...

Thinking back to what Lu Huateng had just said, everyone was shocked and couldn't help but gasp.

At this time, after Lin Hao crossed the Fire Chain Bridge, his figure directly swept into the flame light gate deep at the end.

The second level of trial is now over.

Although his cultivation level did not increase much, the high-level fire essence he obtained was still a considerable amount of precious resources.

Then, after a brief blur, the vision gradually became clear.

What appeared in front of Lin Hao was an extremely vast stone palace hall.

The entire hall is completely enclosed, and the air temperature does not feel uncomfortably hot.

Lin Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he saw a flame light array deep in the hall.

In the center of the formation, a huge ancient stone tablet is suspended.

Looking closely, the stone tablet looks like a mountain, majestic and magnificent.

The most peculiar thing is that the surface of the stone tablet is covered with fine cracks, and the traces of the cracks are like a mysterious fire totem.

Faintly, there was a fire power that was based on the laws of heaven and earth.

"Fire Source Stone?!"

Seeing this, Lin Hao's eyes flashed.

When Ying Yuanzi participated in the Hundred Colleges Competition before, he won a piece of Fire Source Stone by betting with the bald old man from Jianyun Academy.

The fundamental laws of fire contained therein are of immeasurable value.

At that time, the fire source stone was only the size of a palm.

The fire source stone in front of him is about tens of feet in size and is simply a treasure!

If it can be transformed into a crystallization of laws, I wonder how far I can go.

Thinking of this, a look of excitement suddenly appeared on Lin Hao's face.

At that moment, he moved, rushed to the side of the fire source stone, and put his hand on it.

"Start system scan!"

Lin Hao muttered to himself and gave the order directly.

"Ding, the fire source stele touched by the host is detected. It is sealed with a formation. It is not the host's property and cannot be scanned and converted."

However, this time, the system's prompt sounded counterproductive.

"Array seal?"

Lin Hao was slightly surprised.

Just as he was wondering, the flame array under his feet suddenly lit up with brilliant light...
