Proud and happy, Qingfeng Li smiled at Linger Yao . This was the first time this demon complimented him .
"Qingfeng, can you break this array formation?" Linger Yao asked him .
After a moment's thought, Qingfeng Li replied, "I'll give it a try . "
Qingfeng Li could already tell that the fire array formation on this red coffin was very different from the nine array flag formations outside the Spirit Emperor Cave .
Using the knowledge in his mind, he observed the red fire array formation carefully .
The red fire array formation was made of 99 flame flowers, each with five pedals in the shape of a heart .
A reddish glow was circling these five-pedal flowers like rays of red light .
The defense powers of this array formation were astounding .
Still in awe, Qingfeng Li put his palm on top of the flames and felt its high temperature . It was at least a couple thousand degrees Celsius .
Qingfeng Li's steel-like Mortal Purgatory Body and Golden Flames helped him withstand this incredibly high temperature .
Other self-cultivators would have burnt their hands off if they even dared to place their palms on top of this coffin .
Swoop!
Red flames shot out of the coffin right at Qingfeng Li .
It was the true flames of the fire array formation; the red bolt of flames carried great power .
Qingfeng Li reached out his right palm and caught the red flames . Grasping it in his hand, he crushed it into pieces, burning out the flames .
These flames were very hot, but they were nothing for him . He extinguished it with a small clench of his hand .
Swoop, swoop, swoop, swoop…
Dozens of red flames shot out of the coffin; the flames transformed into burning pillars and sped towards at Qingfeng Li .
It was like Qingfeng Li had punched a hole in a beehive, and now they were all coming after him, hot and angry .
These flames were bloody red and immensely powerful, shocking anyone who laid eyes on them .
Qingfeng Li channeled the energy in his body to create a golden protective veil around his body, hoping to stop the attack of the flames .
These flames belonged to an emperor-level array formation – they easily crushed Qingfeng Li's golden light veil and aimed themselves directly at his body .
Just as Qingfeng Li was about to use his fist techniques to stop the attack, the Golden Flame in his body became restless, as if it wanted to swallow the flames up .
Shocked, Qingfeng Li wondered what was wrong with his Golden Flame . Was it hungry?
Releasing it from his body and placing it on his right palm, he created a streak of golden flames .
Like a giant monster, it opened its mouth and swallowed the red flames in the blink of an eye .
All the flames disappeared into the Golden Flame's "body . "
Qingfeng Li could feel that the Golden Flame's temperature and powers increased significantly as if some mysterious power was awakening . He felt all these changes in his body .
Linger Yao's expression turned into surprise upon seeing Qingfeng Li swallowing the red flames .
Qingfeng Li's flames swallowed the flames of emperor-level array formation – this was equivalent to a Spirit-Emperor Realm attack, and not everyone could manage it .
Controlling the Golden Flame in his right palm, he approached the red coffin .
Placing it on top of the coffin so that it could absorb all the energy, the Golden Flame then swallowed the rest of the red flames .
Although the array formation atop the red coffin was emperor-leveled and discharged flames similar in strength to Spirit Emperor Realm Attacks, it became defenseless in front of the golden flame, like an ant that crossed paths with an elephant . It could do nothing but be swallowed by the Golden Flames .
The Golden Flame was one of the top 100 flames in the universe . With boundless energy, it was the flames of the Golden Saint and easily swallowed any red flames .
After swallowing the flames on the coffin, it transformed it into energy for itself .
The temperature of the Golden Flame rose again, and Qingfeng Li felt the flames become more accustomed to him, making it easier to control .
"Qingfeng Li, you're so powerful! I can't believe you cultivated and absorbed an emperor-level array formation," Linger Yao exclaimed in surprise . This was the second time Linger Yao praised Qingfeng Li .
As the number one cultivator of the Demonic Dao, Linger Yao was the absolute authority and power of her faction .
But now, Linger Yao admired Qingfeng Li from the bottom of her heart .
Qingfeng Li smiled faintly, "I've devoured the fire array formation on the red coffin, so you'll probably be able to open it now . "
"Great, let me try . " Linger Yao smiled back at him . Holding out a right palm, Linger Yao pushed hard at the coffin lid .
Ka!
With a loud crack, the red coffin's lid fell onto the ground at Linger Yao's touch, revealing its insides .
Qingfeng Li and Linger Yao peered into the coffin and saw a red skeleton .
A red skeleton?
They exchanged glances, seeing the surprise in the other person's eyes .
Dead people's skeletons were white, turning grey after oxidization, and black after cremation . No one had ever seen red bones before .
Linger Yao reacted first, "Qingfeng Li, I wonder if the Fire Emperor wasn't a self-cultivator, nor that of Earth . He might be a self-cultivator of another planet . "
Qingfeng Li said with a frown on his face, "What gave you such an idea?"
Linger Yao answered, "I once read an ancient book that belonged to the Demonic Peacock Empress . The book said that some self-cultivators from outer space had red bones, just like this one . "
Qingfeng Li nodded, he knew how big this universe was – Earth was just one of a billion stars .
The bones of dead people on Earth were white, but other extraterrestrial humanoid beings may have red, black, or even gold bones . Different colors symbolized different characteristics .
Why would an emperor-level powerhouse come to Earth? What were his intentions?
Qingfeng Li and Linger Yao would never find out . Their only target, for now, was the treasure inside the coffin .
