Mortals cultivate immortality, I have a Chaos Tower

Inside Chiyan Pass, the red flames lit up the night sky, as if the entire pass was engulfed in flames. On the city wall, patrolling soldiers were nervous, hurriedly walking back and forth, whispering to each other about the invaders. The air was filled with a suffocating sense of urgency, as if the shadow of a war was approaching little by little.

In the core hall of Chiyan Pass, Chi Yan was sitting on a throne carved with flames, his face normal, but his fiery eyes were burning with rage. He had already sensed the collapse of the formation, and the defeat of the guards clearly conveyed a message that could not be ignored - a powerful invader had successfully broken through his first line of defense.

"Report!" A soldier in red armor knelt in front of Chi Yan in a hurry, sweating profusely, "Sir, the invaders have broken through the outer formation and are approaching the outer perimeter of the pass!"

Chi Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze was as hot as fire, and he snorted softly, and the atmosphere instantly became solemn. He slowly stood up, his figure was tall, and the flames jumped around him like loyal servants. He held the Flame Dragon Spear in his hand, and the tip of the spear was flashing a red light, like a burning fire dragon.

"Interesting." Chi Yan smiled coldly, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, "Someone dared to break into my Chiyan Pass and break my formation. It seems that he underestimated my strength."

Chi Yan stepped down from the throne, his figure as steady as a mountain. His palm gently grasped the Flame Dragon Spear, and flames instantly gushed out from the spear. The tip of the spear turned into a swirling fire dragon, which roared as if it had a spirit, as if it had sensed the anger of its master. The air around it instantly heated up, and the entire hall seemed to be immersed in a sea of ​​​​heat. Even the soldiers around felt that they could not bear this suffocating power.

"Sir, those invaders... are extremely powerful. I'm worried... they will charge directly into the pass." The soldier said tremblingly, obviously having felt the strength of Lin Fan's team.

"Humph, just a bunch of ants." Chi Yan's voice was low and powerful, with disdain and coldness, "If you dare to break into my Chiyan Pass, I will let them know what despair is."

He walked slowly to the center of the hall, holding the Flame Dragon Spear tightly with both hands, gathering his true energy quickly, and instantly stimulating the fire power of his whole body. He closed his eyes, as if sensing the power of the flames around him. After a moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were burning with even more violent flames.

"Pass the order, everyone enter combat mode and block all passages." Chi Yan's voice echoed in the hall, "Mobilize all elite guards and set up three lines of fire defense inside the city wall. Anyone who dares to step in will be burned to ashes!"

The soldiers quickly took orders and retreated, preparing to deploy defenses according to Chi Yan's instructions.

Chi Yan gently raised the Flame Dragon Spear, and the fire dragon on the tip of the spear suddenly leaped up and rushed straight into the sky. The entire pass was instantly covered by flames, as if a barrier of blazing flames enveloped the pass, forming an insurmountable barrier of flames. The fire was bright and dazzling red, even far beyond the borders of Chiyan Pass. Where Lin Fan's team was, they could clearly see the blazing light rising into the sky.

Inside the pass, Chiyan's flame power has merged with the entire Chiyan Pass. He stood in the center of the hall, closed his eyes slightly, and the Flame Dragon Spear in his hand exuded a terrifying aura, as if every inch of land and every stone could sense all the movements of the outside world through him.

"Do they think they can easily enter the city by breaking my formation?" Chi Yan sneered, "I want to make them understand that the real challenge has just begun."

At the same time, Lin Fan's team gradually approached the wall of Chiyan Pass from the periphery of the pass. The blazing flames in the distance illuminated the entire pass as bright as day. Lin Fan stood at the front of the team, looking grimly at the flame barrier in front of him, feeling the fire power of Chiyan covering the entire place.

"He has already noticed our presence." Jiang Shuiling said softly, frowning slightly, "Chi Yan's fire power is very strong. This power almost covers the entire Chiyan Pass."

"It seems that there is no chance of a head-on charge." Zhong Ling'er also felt the scorching oppression. The power of the fire seemed to be integrated with the heaven and earth, and there was no way to find any flaws.

Jin Buk sneered disdainfully, "Even if a fire dragon blocks my way, I dare to break it!"

Lin Fan remained calm, his eyes flashing with deep thought. He knew that Chi Yan's power was far more than this, and these layers of defense were just Chi Yan's attempt to lead them into his home ground. To defeat Chi Yan, brute force alone was obviously not enough, and he had to find his weakness.

"Chi Yan has set up this flame barrier, obviously intending to trap us on the periphery and consume our strength." Lin Fan said in a deep voice, "But if he thinks this can stop us, then he is wrong."

Jin Buk smiled slightly and tightened his grip on the sword. "Well said. No matter how strong this barrier is, we have to fight our way in."

"But we can't act rashly. Since Chi Yan has personally set up the defense line, he must have a backup plan." Lin Fan looked in the direction of Chiyan Pass and said in a deep voice, "We must find a way to bypass the flame barrier in front, enter the pass, and then attack Chi Yan directly."

Zhong Ling'er and Jiang Shuiling looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"I can use water magic to temporarily suppress the power of fire, but it won't last too long. We need speed." Zhong Ling'er said softly, the staff in her hand flashing blue light in the night.

"Then let's act." Lin Fan's eyes were determined, with the Qiankun Axe in his hand.

They crept along the edge of the city wall, using the cover of night to gradually approach the weak point of the flame barrier. Although the flames were powerful, Lin Fan's team was still agile and swift. Their goal was very clear - bypass the frontal defense and reach Chiyan Pass.

Soon, they came under the shadow of the city wall. The surrounding flames had made the air scorching hot. The firelight shone on everyone's face, and sweat involuntarily seeped from their foreheads.

"Now is the opportunity." Lin Fan whispered, "Ling'er, prepare for action."

Zhong Ling'er nodded slightly, waved her staff, and a surge of water magic gushed out, turning into a huge water dragon that swirled up. The water formed a barrier in the air, isolating the blazing flames that were rushing towards her. As the water and the flames collided, a "hissing" sound was heard in the air, and steam instantly spread.

"Hurry! Now is the time!" Lin Fan shouted, and quickly led everyone into the passage covered by the water curtain.

Although the flames were still strong, Zhong Ling'er's magic suppressed them and temporarily created a gap. Lin Fan's team quickly passed through the flame barrier and entered the inner side of Chiyan Pass.

When they stepped into the land of Chiyan Pass, the scene before them was even more dangerous than they had expected.

The ground inside the pass was covered with countless traces of flame formations, and the red runes flashed with dazzling light. The air was filled with the power of blazing flames, and in front, Chi Yan was already standing in the center of the pass, holding the Flame Dragon Spear, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Finally here." Chi Yan smiled coldly, his eyes full of contempt and confidence.
