Outside the cave, the shattered skull gradually ignited a fierce fire, becoming brighter and illuminating the entire mountain gorge.

"The Fire of Light!" Lin Fan was overjoyed and quickly jumped out, reaching out his hands towards the flames.

"Hoo," the Fire of Light made a strange sound and instantly teleported dozens of miles away.

Lin Fan missed.

"What?" Lin Fan clearly didn't expect this guy to be so fast.

"Oh oh oh," the Fire of Light seemed to be cheering, "Finally, someone has found me. It's not good to be locked up. Come and catch me. If you catch me, you can set the conditions."

"Wu hoo..."

After speaking, the Fire of Light quickly ran away.

A strong desire blossomed in Lin Fan's eyes. He guessed it right, the Fire of Light was indeed inside the body of that Flame Tiger.

He urged his spiritual power to chase after it.

But what he was using now was only the effect of the Empty Void Realm. Even if he used all his strength, he couldn't catch the Fire of Light at all.

His speed was too slow, exposing his biggest weakness.

"Damn it, why did I have to encounter a shortcoming at this time?" Lin Fan cursed, "After completing this mission, don't let me encounter anyone who can compete with my speed."

But that wasn't what annoyed Lin Fan the most. What annoyed him the most was that after this guy saw that he couldn't catch up, he actually stopped and waited for him, only to quickly pull away again when he caught up.

This was an insult, a blatant insult.

If it weren't for him not wanting to reveal the trump card of his Mahayana realm, why would he have to endure this humiliation?

"If I keep chasing like this, it's just a waste of my special effect time. I have to come up with a solution."

Soon, he came up with a solution.

"Life Reaping Sword Domain!"

Clang—

The sound of the sword echoed through the heavens and the earth, cutting through the worlds covered in dark flames. Lin Fan controlled the sword with his hand and directly slashed towards the fleeing Fire of Light.

"I can't catch up to you, but my sword might."

The sword energy came, and the Fire of Light suddenly stopped, twisting its body at an unimaginable angle to dodge the sword energy.

But the price was that its distance from Lin Fan was greatly reduced.

"Now I'll see where you can run!"

Lin Fan raised his hand again and waved several sword energies, blocking all the paths of escape for the Fire of Light.

The Fire of Light was immediately in a dilemma, but the sword energy didn't give it time to think.

In the blink of an eye, the sword energy pierced through the body of the Fire of Light.

"Hit!"

Just when Lin Fan thought he had a chance, the Fire of Light dispersed its body and turned into scattered flames. After dodging the sword, it quickly reassembled.

"What?"

"Wu hoo~ How fun! Human boy, come and chase me."

The cheering voice came again, completely infuriating Lin Fan.

"If that's the case, don't blame me for not holding back."

Lin Fan stopped his pursuit and suddenly raised his right arm.

Buzz—

A huge sword shadow appeared in the sky, countless sword shadows flickering. The space began to tremble, and the surrounding darkness was gradually dispelled.

The next second, Lin Fan's arm suddenly dropped.

The sword shadows in the sky fell to the ground like meteors, forming a huge sword arena that surrounded the Fire of Light. This was a sword arena formed entirely by Sword Intent. Once the Fire of Light touched it, it would immediately be disintegrated.

Even if it reassembled, it would take some time, and this gap was enough for Lin Fan to catch it.

Inside the sword arena, the Fire of Light had no way to escape, only to wait for its doom.

But that guy still wasn't afraid and was provoking Lin Fan in place.

Lin Fan wasn't anxious. The more this time, the more he should be on high alert and not miss a single step.

He continuously shrunk the range of the sword arena, compressing its space to the point where the Fire of Light was only a hundred meters away from him.

"Now is the time."

Lin Fan leaped up, and the power in his hand formed a palm hundreds of feet in size, grabbing towards the Fire of Light.

Even with wings, it would be difficult to escape from this distance. Just when Lin Fan thought he had a firm grip, a crack appeared behind the Fire of Light, resembling a spider web.

Lin Fan suddenly sensed something and his speed in his hand suddenly increased.

But he was always one step behind, as the Flame of Light directly pierced through the dimensional barrier and arrived in the next territory.

"Damn it."

Lin Fan chased after it unwillingly, but the Flame of Light had already disappeared without a trace.

Losing the direction to track, it was like finding a needle in a haystack to find the Flame of Light again.

He stood still, his fists clenched.

"Damn it, I chased after it all night, and it actually escaped like this."

After a while, he loosened his clenched fist, took a deep breath, and felt the flow of dark flames around him.

"Forget it..."

In his despair, a brilliant light once again illuminated Lin Fan's world.

It was the Flame of Light.

"How did this guy come back again?"

This time, the Flame of Light ran towards Lin Fan's direction, so there was no way to escape.

Lin Fan didn't care about that, he directly activated his spiritual power and captured the Flame of Light.

In the moment he caught it, Lin Fan quickly subdued it.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the second copy task and obtaining rewards: Power of Breaking the Wall, Purification Shield (can resist various toxins, lasts for one day, cooldown time is one day).]

Seeing the system prompt, Lin Fan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This night was truly thrilling.

The situation changed in an instant, catching Lin Fan off guard every time, but fortunately, the result was good.

"This aura, it's Master!"

A voice came from ahead, and then a faint light appeared in Lin Fan's eyes.

Under the light, there was a familiar face.

"Chen Feng?" Lin Fan was surprised, "How did you end up here, and what's with the light around you?"

"Master, the light on Junior Brother is my Bone Spirit Cold Fire," Dan Yangzi answered.

"Bone Spirit Cold Fire?" Lin Fan nodded, "I forgot about this, it seems that the Flame of Light returned because it encountered them, it's really fortunate for me."

"Speaking of which, Master, why are you here?"

Lin Fan briefly recounted the events.

"I see, I didn't expect this fire to have such an effect," Dan Yangzi sighed.

"This time, thanks to both of you, let's continue on the road together."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng was overjoyed, "Thank you, Master, let's set off then."

They had been here for a whole month because they hadn't yet met the Alchemist Association. They had been wandering around the outskirts of the territory, not only living in constant danger but also being bullied by the Flame Beasts during the night.

Chen Feng couldn't bear such days for another second.

"Alright." Lin Fan agreed and turned to walk towards the previous territory.

At this moment, Lin Fan noticed a problem. Why was the Flame of Light able to break through the dimensional barrier, but this place was still covered in dark flames?

And judging from the appearance of Chen Feng and the others, it seemed that it had always been like this.

This was strange. Wasn't the territory supposed to be divided into separate pieces?

He carefully recalled the hints given by the system and suddenly had a realization.

This Secret Realm was divided into pieces of land, but it didn't specify their sizes. It was very likely that this territory ruled by dark flames was a large piece, and the place they were in before was a small piece within the dark flame territory. Taking into account the positions of north, south, east, and west, it could be inferred that under a large territory, there were four small territories.

This explanation made sense.

If that was the case, then the territory he was in before should be the southern territory, and this was the northern territory. To reach the next territory, they would have to return to the southern territory first and find the dimensional barrier heading south.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan asked aloud, "Have you guys encountered anyone else on this territory these days?"

"Master, we were assigned to the same group as the members of the Alchemist Association, but Senior Brother hasn't acknowledged them yet, so we haven't been with them."

"As for the Star Demon World Domain and the Lietian Divine Palace, they are located in the east and west respectively. As for the people from the other four domains, we don't know. They might have been excluded for some reason, or they might be trapped in a territory that we don't know about."

Lin Fan pondered, it seemed that this Secret Realm was far from being as simple as he had thought.

But it didn't matter anymore, now that he had obtained the Flame of Light, he could immediately proceed to the next territory.

"I understand, let's make use of our time and head to the next territory. The closer we get to the Immortal Sword, the more likely we are to obtain the spark of fire."

"Yes, Master."

The two of them said in unison.
