# Chapter 1164: Prodigy Figures
Just as Lin Feng and the others stepped forward, they suddenly heard a buzzing sound. Turning back, they were surprised to find that the demon palace seemed to be shrouded by a mysterious force, as if sealed.
"The demon palace is closed?" Duan Wudao beside Lin Feng murmured. This was a sealing force. After Yuan Fei entered, the demon palace had actually closed. Did the demon palace only permit one person to enter?
"You two, do you want to seek your own opportunities?" Lin Feng turned back and asked the current Purple Gold Dragon King and Duan Wudao. The Purple Gold Dragon King's strength was quite formidable; if he could fully control it, there shouldn't be too many problems. However, Duan Wudao was still somewhat weak.
Having spent a million destinies to enter this ancient city, it would be a pity not to seek their own opportunities. If everyone walked together, although it would be safer, they would inevitably miss some chances.
"Alright, we've also left a trace of our imprint on you. Find us anytime." Duan Wudao seemed to know that Lin Feng was mainly worried about him. However, he was once a powerful venerable in his past life. Now that he had taken control of Duan Wudao's physical body, he had retained his own memories, possessing some of Duan Wudao's abilities as well as some of his own divine abilities and life-preserving methods. He had no destinies, so others wouldn't kill him without reason. He just needed to be careful.
The two left one after another. Lin Feng then took out the Snow Demon Tower and released all the demon beasts inside, saying to them: "This might be an ancient city. It could be an opportunity for you. Now, I release you. Be careful on your own."
These demon beasts no longer held any value for him. Releasing them in this city, he wished them good luck.
After observing the situation, the demon beasts all nodded to Lin Feng before leaving one by one, leaving only an empty Snow Demon Tower.
"Lin Feng, this Snow Demon Tower was refined by mother. It might be able to unleash stronger power in my hands. Let me use it." Meng Qing asked Lin Feng for the Snow Demon Tower. This tower was also a sacred artifact capable of suppressing demon beasts. In this ancient city, since there were powerful ancient demon beasts, if she had the opportunity, she wanted to suppress a few demon beasts inside.
Since Meng Qing asked, Lin Feng naturally gave it to her. He then looked at Great Pest, who understood Lin Feng's meaning. He happened to have the same idea and smiled: "I'll go on my own."
"Alright, be careful." Lin Feng punched Great Pest's chest, then took out the sacred artifacts on him and said to Great Pest: "Whatever you want, choose for yourself."
"My dragon axe is strong enough. I'll take this ancient shield." Great Pest picked the black shield, then left as well. Walking separately gave more opportunities. He couldn't rely on Lin Feng to protect him forever. If he wanted to become stronger, he naturally had to venture out on his own. Besides, he wasn't weak to begin with.
"No." Meng Qing saw Lin Feng looking at her and shook her head before he could speak. Lin Feng didn't say much either, just smiled gently, took Meng Qing's hand, and continued forward.
This was indeed an extremely ancient ruined city. Lin Feng saw several fire-attribute demon beasts, all with cyan-colored destinies, exuding fierce aura. They were all troublesome fellows. Lin Feng didn't go to seize those destinies. The demon beasts here would definitely not be easy to deal with.
"Lin Feng, over there." At this moment, Meng Qing's finger pointed to a direction. There, raging flames soared to the sky as if trying to burn the heavens red, with radiant light shining in all directions.
"Such terrifying flames. Let's go take a look." Lin Feng also cultivated fire. Seeing the flames burning the sky there, he naturally had some interest. The two of them flickered toward that direction. The hissing sounds of demon beasts continued. When they reached the vicinity, they were surprised to find that two demon beasts were actually fighting!
"It looks like a three-legged Golden Crow, but not quite." Lin Feng looked at one of the demon beasts. It had some similarities to the sun divine bird, the three-legged Golden Crow. Its entire body was covered in terrifying flames, dyeing the heavens and earth red. The one confronting it was also a fire demon beast, resembling a turtle but with wings. Lin Feng had never seen such a demon beast before. It was probably another ancient demon beast, and he didn't know if it had gone extinct by now.
Beside the two demon beasts, there was actually a terrifying flame region, like a mountain range of fire, rushing toward the sky.
"A fire domain, indeed a fire domain!"
"The Golden Crow seems to be fighting for that flame fragment!" Meng Qing's gaze fell on the claw of the winged turtle-bird. There was a dazzling fragment, fiery red in color, with fluctuations of flame power emanating from within.
"Kiya!" The Golden Crow spewed flames, as if a brilliant sun was spat from its mouth, blasting toward the turtle-bird crouching on the ground. At the same time, its body carried terrifying flames, as if a wind of fire swept through the space. Lin Feng and Meng Qing were quite far away, but they still felt extremely hot, and even their eyes slightly closed under the hot wind.
These flames were definitely infinitely close to the power of flame essence, as if they were about to ignite space itself.
However, the turtle-bird suddenly opened its mouth wide, directly swallowing the sun flames. This left Lin Feng and Meng Qing speechless. Fire demon beasts fighting fire demon beasts was not good; both sides were fire-resistant. Unless there was a huge difference, they couldn't burn each other to death.
Sure enough, the two battling demon beasts both crazily used fire. This sky seemed to be devoured by flames. The turtle-bird had been guarding that fragment, and the battle was caused by it.
The entire space was filled with a layer of terrifying fire aura. The void became somewhat blurry. Lin Feng and Meng Qing felt very uncomfortable. These flames were too fierce.
"Whoosh!" At this moment, the void suddenly trembled violently. Then Lin Feng saw a young man slowly step into the battle circle of the two demon beasts, completely ignoring the terrifying flames.
"A human expert." Lin Feng's expression solidified. This person's hand swept across, and star light appeared on the turtle-bird's body, locking it within.
"Kill!" The young man's hand traced through the void. The crisscrossing star light burst forth with terrifying brilliance. Then blood and flames scattered. The turtle-bird's body was torn apart. The young man's hand grabbed, directly snatching the flame fragment into his palm.
His gaze suddenly turned toward the Golden Crow. His eyes were calm yet seemed filled with sharpness.
"Kiya!" Seeing this, the Golden Crow let out a cry, then turned and fled toward the sky, trying to escape.
The young man opened his palm, then took another step. His body disappeared. Terrifying star light appeared again, enveloping the Golden Crow's body. The Golden Crow's body still soared upward, frantically flying toward the void. But the young man's hand traced through the void. A mournful cry, and the Golden Crow's body was torn apart. Its destiny was obtained by the young man!
"Such terrifying strength!" Lin Feng watched the young man kill two fire demon beasts with such ease. His heart trembled slightly. Only two words filled his mind: powerful!
This strength was too shocking. Even if he and Meng Qing joined forces, they might not be able to deal with those two demon beasts. But the other party had annihilated them in an instant.
"A prodigy!" Lin Feng thought to himself. He wondered if this person was one of the prodigy figures of the Eight Wastelands Realm that Yuan Fei had mentioned. Void flickering, star light killing. This should be void teleportation and space killing power. This young man had likely comprehended the power of essence, and a very powerful one at that — space essence!
The Nine Heavens Continent was not lacking in prodigy geniuses. The vast Eight Wastelands Realm naturally had them too. At this moment, Lin Feng had encountered one. This person could probably kill an ordinary venerable with ease. His movements in killing those two fire birds were too smooth, turning them to ashes with a wave of his hand.
The young man cast a glance in Lin Feng's direction but didn't make a move. He held the fragment in his palm and stepped into that terrifying flame region. This made Lin Feng understand that perhaps, besides having comprehended space essence, this person was also skilled in flame power. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to seize that flame fragment and then step into the terrifying sea of fire.
"Meng Qing, I want to go in and take a look." Lin Feng said to Meng Qing. Meng Qing nodded slightly and smiled: "Go ahead. I'll wait for you outside. If it takes too long, I'll leave on my own and go find my own place."
"Be careful." Lin Feng rubbed Meng Qing's head, smiled gently as he instructed, then took a step forward. His body rushed into that flame region. Besides him, several others had also entered this flame region from the surroundings. They should all be martial cultivators who cultivated fire attributes!
