Before, Zi Teng's mind was on those demon souls, and later he only saw things through a spar for lighting, so he didn't know much about the layout in this cave, and only knew that there was no danger.

But when Zi Teng put away the spar, although the surroundings had become pitch black, there was a faint light in the depths of the cave.

Zi Teng followed the light and touched the cave, only to find that there was an extra crack here that could only melt two or three people through, which looked like a porch in a cave, and he knew that the place where he was just now was not the end of the cave.

Walking along the entrance, the front was a little bright, although it was still relatively dim, but for a cultivator like Zi Teng, he could basically see.

When Zi Teng passed through the entrance, what fell into his eyes was a very spacious cave hall, and there were some glowing crystals embedded in the cave walls, but many of them had lost their brilliance, and it seemed that they had lost their energy for too long.

In the cave hall, Zi Teng couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief, it turned out that the ground was full of people, one by one as if petrified, when he felt that there was no trace of life here, he was relieved.

"It turns out that these people are all dead here. ”

Zi Teng came to the front of one of them, and after checking it, he realized that although these people were all sitting there with their knees crossed, they had long since lost their breath, and it was only the abundant fire attribute vitality here that kept their bodies from rotting.

"But why did they die here?"

Zi Teng's heart was full of doubts, although these corpses were lifeless, they could faintly detect something from their expressions, looking at their appearance before they fell, there was obviously no pain, it was more like it was done on purpose, to put it bluntly, it was suicide.

"Huh, this is ......."

After looking at it again, Zi Teng was surprised: "Huo Li?"

The Huoli Clan is not much different from the Terrans in appearance, the only difference is the red hair and red skin, due to the fact that they have been dead for too long, so there is no trace of blood on their bodies, so Zi Teng did not recognize it for a while.

But when he recognized it, Zi Teng was even more puzzled.

This Huoli clan was originally a very high-ranking race in the demon race, and the fire was condensed in the body, and the demon soul power could be used to give birth to fire wings, and it was extremely good at fighting in the air.

But it is said that because this Huoli clan was unwilling to participate in the war between humans and demons, in the later stage of the war between humans and demons, it was wiped out by the demon Peng clan, why did it appear here, and died here en masse?

"It turns out that those demon spirits are theirs. ”

After roughly counting these dead Huoli clansmen, Zi Teng finally knew where the more than 100 demon souls came from.

If Zi Teng's guess is correct, it should be that after the death of these Fire Leaving Clansmen, those demon souls automatically left their bodies, but because they have lost their autonomous consciousness and there is not enough Fire Attribute Yuan Qi outside, they have been wandering here.

"It must be a hundred or two hundred years for these people to die here, but those demon souls still have the energy of the human soul realm, doesn't that mean ......?"

Thinking of this, Zi Teng looked surprised, and his eyes widened as he looked at these corpses: "Doesn't that mean that these corpses must have at least the strength above the Heavenly Demon Realm before they die?"

After the demon soul is separated from the human body, the energy will be slowly exhausted, in his calculations, in one or two hundred years, no matter how to say that the demon soul of the Heavenly Demon Realm will be exhausted, but in this environment where the fire attribute vitality is abnormally sufficient, it will slow down the consumption of the demon soul to a large extent, so he will position these people in the strength above the Heavenly Demon Realm.

Zi Teng couldn't understand, what kind of force could force these more than 100 Heavenly Demon Realm powerhouses to commit suicide collectively?

Feeling too strange, he cautiously continued to walk forward.

Not far away, there was a high platform, and on top of the high platform also sat a corpse, but in front of the corpse stood a lamp base made of unknown material, which was covered with dust.

Zi Teng slowly came to the high platform, and saw that the robe on the corpse should be a priest or something, and he was holding a piece of jade paper that had long lost its luster.

Seeing this, Zi Teng carefully pulled the jade note out of the corpse's hand, but as soon as he pulled it out, perhaps because it was touched by Zi Teng, the corpse suddenly turned into a cloud of flying ash and dissipated.

And just after the corpse dissipated, the more than 100 corpses below also turned into flying ashes and disappeared in place at the same time.

"Alas, if you had given me a spark back then......"

Seeing those corpses turn to ashes in an instant, Zi Teng's heart rose a trace of unbearability, and at the same time fell into memories.

Although these people are demons, they are not the eight top demon races, and they were once exterminated because they refused to kill the human race, so Zi Teng's impression of them is not bad, if it weren't for Zi Teng's rejection in order to ask them for a ray of holy flame origin, when they were facing the danger of extermination, maybe they would have helped, then maybe they would not have been exterminated like this.

"Tinder?"

As soon as he thought of this, Zi Teng's heart jumped, and he looked at the lamp holder: "Could it be that this is what is offered to the holy fire?"

Put down the jade note, picked up the lampholder, Ziteng blew away the dust on it vigorously, and then gently wiped it with the corner of his clothes, and the lampholder immediately became crystal clear, like glass, with three blood-red handwriting engraved on it: Tianyan Cup.

"The Sky Flame Cup, haha, it's really the one that holds the Nine Turns of the Sky Flame. ”

Seeing this, Zi Teng was overjoyed in his heart, the holy flame of the Huo Li clan was called the Nine Turns Heavenly Flame, which was a kind of alien fire that could evolve with the characteristic conditions, although he couldn't find the flame of the Nine Turns Heavenly Flame, but he was happy enough to get this Heavenly Flame Cup.

Because, if there is still a trace of fire left in the world of the Nine Turns of Heavenly Flame, then within a certain range, the Heavenly Flame Cup can sense it, that is, he will be able to find this flame sooner or later.

And the soul fire that Zi Teng had in his previous life was just a relatively ordinary alien fire, and it couldn't be compared with this Nine Turns Heavenly Flame at all, otherwise he wouldn't have put down his body and asked the Huoli clan for it.

Moreover, the Nine Turns of Heavenly Flame can only evolve under conditions that are incomparably compatible with it.

At the beginning, Zi Teng did not have a conflict with the Huo Li Clan because of his desires, and it was also because at that time, he could only refine the Nine Turns of Red Flame to the Fifth Turn, and at most, he could only evolve that Soul Fire to the level of the Five Turns.

And the power of his own soul fire was also cultivated by him to be only higher than the nine-turn Heavenly Flame that had reached the fifth turn, so he didn't force it.

But today is different from the past, Zi Teng already has the Nine Colored Soul Base, and the Nine Turns of Heavenly Flame is perfect for him, it is so suitable that there will not even be a trace of gaps.

Thinking about it makes him feel excited, if he can get the Nine Turns of the Heavenly Flame, and then evolve it to the Nine Turns Realm, how powerful it must be, if he has the Nine Turns of the Heavenly Flame that has evolved to the Nine Turns, the result of the battle between humans and demons may have to be rewritten, and it will not fall at the very least!

Throwing the Heavenly Flame Cup into his mind, Zi Teng picked up the jade note again, slightly released a trace of demonic soul power, and a row of handwriting appeared, as seen in the above writing:

"The flame is not extinguished, the soul of the clan is not extinguished, and my fire leaves the soul of the clan to sacrifice here......"

"What, Soul Sacrifice?"

As soon as he saw the first sentence, Zi Teng was shocked in his heart, and he knew that it turned out that these Huoli clans had fallen because of the soul sacrifice, which meant that they were not committing suicide.

The Holy Flame, that is, the flame of the Nine Heavenly Flames, is the source of all the power of the Huoli Clan, just like the Holy Ding of the Desolate Weapon Clan.

Each of them had a companion flame in their bodies, which had been there since birth, but fundamentally, it was just a child fire of the Nine Heavenly Flames.

Because for many years, since the ancestor of the Huoli clan flew away, there was no Huoli clan who could fuse the Nine Turns of Heavenly Flame, so they could only use one of the ancestor's ribs to refine a cup and use it to worship the Nine Turns of Heavenly Flame.

However, the Nine Turns of the Heavenly Flame can only be continued under certain conditions, and it will always nourish the countless clansmen, even if it is enshrined in the Heavenly Flame Cup, it will inevitably be slowly consumed.

Therefore, every more than 100 years, the Huoli Clan will carry out a soul sacrifice, integrate the demon soul consciousness of more than 100 strong people above the Heavenly Demon Soul into the sub-fire, and then sacrifice it to the Nine Turns Heavenly Flame, so as to ignite the fire that is facing extinguishment again.

And as long as the fire is not extinguished, the fire can be continued, and it will not be completely extinguished.

"No wonder those demon spirits have lost their consciousness. ”

Zi Teng muttered, and continued to look down, only to see that he continued:

"With the fire that accompanies the clansmen, sacrifice the holy fire, and turn around. ”

"With the origin of the soul of the clan, sacrifice the holy fire, and return to the second turn. ”

"With the fire that accompanies me, with the origin of the soul, sacrifice the holy fire, and return to the three turns. ”

Seeing this, Zi Teng already knew that every soul sacrifice could only restore the nine-turn Heavenly Flame to the level of the three-turn level.

And the first turn requires the more than 100 powerhouses above the Heavenly Demon Realm to sacrifice their fire.

In the second turn, they need to integrate their Demon Soul Origin into it again, and if they lose the Demon Soul Origin, the Demon Soul will also lose consciousness.

In the third turn, it is also necessary for the priest who presides over the soul sacrifice to sacrifice his demon soul origin and fire.

From this, it can also be imagined that the priest must at least reach the strength of the Pan Demon Realm.

"A soul sacrifice will consume one Pan Demon Realm powerhouse and more than a hundred Heavenly Demon Realm powerhouses, and this soul sacrifice is cruel enough. ”

Zi Teng only sighed, he knew that compared to the continuation of the entire race, the price of paying this strong person was nothing.

Continuing to look down, it continues:

"Holy fire blesses, although the body of thousands of clans has fallen, the soul is breathing. ”

"Holy fire bless, eight hundred young sons An Tian, continue the group. ”

"Holy fire blesses, punish the demon Peng soul outside the world, sacrifice the fire away. ”

"The Flame Bless ......"

Although the next handwriting was no longer clear, Zi Teng already knew that this jade note was a record of what the priest said at that time, and perhaps before he finished speaking, he had already died.

However, from this, Zi Teng got a message, that is, the Huoli Clan was not all wiped out, and they should have sent out eight hundred young children, and these people who performed the soul sacrifice here were the last strong people of the Huoli Clan.

"But, where is the Nine Heavenly Flames?"

Zi Teng analyzed, when they were sacrificing souls, the Nine Turns of Heavenly Flame must have been here, could it be that these people left by themselves after the sacrifice?

Inadvertently, Zi Teng took the Heavenly Flame Cup in his hand again, looked at it repeatedly, but did not find anything wrong, and then injected a trace of demonic soul power into the cup.

"Huh?"

He just wanted to test it, and he didn't think that anything would change, but he didn't expect that as soon as the demonic soul power covered the cup, the cup suddenly lit up, and a vague figure could be seen at the mouth of the cup......
