Murong Nie was very curious. He had already said that the Upper Realm was so powerful that when people from the Lower Realm went there, they were no better than children. The Upper Realm was a nightmare for Lower Realm cultivators.

In fact, many ascenders from the Lower Realm couldn’t accept this reality when they reached the Upper Realm, with many going mad on the spot.

But for those in the Business World, this was completely irrelevant. From the Upper Realm’s perspective, the waste from the Lower Realm arriving in the Upper Realm was useless; this was true only for ordinary cultivators.

Those ordinary cultivators pursued ascension to the Upper Realm, having cultivated for hundreds of years, and the sudden blow was understandably hard to take.

However, if a genius went to the Upper Realm, they would still be a genius, but they would have to work even harder, and the likelihood of death was very high, often resulting in geniuses being killed by the freaks or ordinary people of the Upper Realm before they could rise.

This sort of thing was common, but it was also the shattering of someone’s dreams and hopes, which is why the Upper Realm refers to people from the Lower Realm as insects.

But Immortal Wei Huo suddenly laughed, which made Murong Nie very curious. Could Immortal Wei Huo be an idiot? That would be the only reasonable explanation for his laughter.

However, Immortal Wei Huo answered Murong Nie’s doubt.

"I know a young person who entered the Ancient Martial World not long ago, and his strength was incredibly powerful. But what he pursued wasn’t formidable power. I could see that he pursued progress, endless progress."

"He once said that cultivation is about contending with the heavens, so he never considered himself a genius. Yet he is a genius, one that hasn’t appeared in the Ancient Martial World for a long time."

"To him, he wasn’t a genius, and that’s why he worked so hard to progress, so hard to cultivate. Though he is dead now, his spirit made me admire him, made me wake up, and eventually, helped me become who I am now. I have to thank him, and I believe your Murong Family isn’t unfamiliar with him?"

"Are you talking about Lin Fei?!"

Immortal Wei Huo smiled and nodded, "I heard from Leng Daoqiu that he annihilated your Murong Family. Although he is from the Lower Realm, I believe if Lin Fei walked out of this Lower Realm and reached the Upper Realm, your Murong Family would eventually be completely destroyed by him!"

At this moment, an intensely strong battle intent burst forth from Immortal Wei Huo. He believed in Lin Fei this much, because Lin Fei had only entered the Ancient Martial World for several years, not even ten years, and had already become powerful enough to wipe out this Lower Realm’s top forces. This showed how formidable he was.

Moreover, Immortal Wei Huo believed that if Lin Fei hadn’t died, he might have become an Ancient Martial Artist who ascended within twenty years, setting a new record in the past hundred years!

Unfortunately, Heaven is jealous of talent, and the final result is that Lin Fei is dead, leaving him unable to witness Lin Fei’s charisma or see Lin Fei stepping on the people of the Upper Realm!

"Haha, I admit he’s amazing, but he’s dead. That’s the fact, isn’t it?"

Immortal Wei Huo remained silent and nodded.

"Since that’s the case, there’s no use talking about a dead man. Now you should be worried about your own life! If you leave here alive, then talk about going to the Upper Realm later. If you die here, you’re just a useless ant, absolutely irrelevant, not to mention stepping us Upper Realm folk underfoot!"

Murong Nie coldly mocked Immortal Wei Huo. In fact, when he arrived in the Lower Realm, the Lower Realm had already provided enough space for the people to overcome the ones from the Upper Realm. It had given many benefits to the people of the Lower Realm, including those from the Upper Realm. Upon arriving in the Lower Realm, no matter the degree of cultivation, all would become part of the Lower Realm’s permitted realm.

This is why those incredibly powerful individuals don’t dare to easily step into the Lower Realm... Spoiler alert, this is for later discussion.

Immortal Wei Huo frowned; Murong Nie was right. The first thing he had to resolve was how to get out of here, then talk about other matters.

So he gritted his teeth, the Heaven and Earth Qi on his body rolling like the Yangtze River and Yellow River, surging and rushing outwards, finally transforming into more than ten balls of flame, like huge fire sparks shaking and flickering in the air.

These more than ten flames surrounded Immortal Wei Huo, and Immortal Wei Huo was seriously injured and covered by the flames, finally becoming one of the more than ten flames.

Suddenly!

More than ten flames converged to the center, becoming part of the center, with only one flame burning in the sky, but for cultivators, there were more than ten auras continuously jumping in the sky, not just one.

"Trying to escape, aren’t you? Hmph, I won’t let you do that so easily!"

Murong Nie saw Immortal Wei Huo doing this and knew Immortal Wei Huo intended to escape, so he wouldn’t let Immortal Wei Huo leave so easily. At least, he’d let Immortal Wei Huo know it wouldn’t be easy to escape, especially from right in front of him!

A palm slammed towards the flames below, and Murong Nie ordered his other companions to surround Immortal Wei Huo, preventing him from leaving.

The palm wind raged like a typhoon, causing the flames flickering in the sky to constantly sway, seeming as if they’d extinguish at any moment.

But the flames were condensed from Immortal Wei Huo’s Heaven and Earth Qi, so they couldn’t be extinguished so easily by the palm wind.

To escape, Immortal Wei Huo transformed his Qi into more than ten paths, distributing it evenly, with almost no difference, then enveloped in flames. In the end, one flame once again transformed into more than ten flaming eyes, but at this time, it was impossible to distinguish which flame was wrapped around Immortal Wei Huo.

Immortal Wei Huo knew that facing so many experts, he had no chance of winning, so he wouldn’t seek his own death. In a situation with certain death, anyone wouldn’t give up that last bit of hope to survive; Immortal Wei Huo was like that.

Not to say Immortal Wei Huo, anyone would be like that, unless they seek death wholeheartedly. Otherwise, they wouldn’t give up the hope of living.

At this moment, Murong Nie’s attack had landed. Suddenly! The dozens of flames scattered like fire sparks being blown apart, fleeing in all directions.

And at this time, the companions who followed Murong Nie’s orders each attacked the flames.

Since Immortal Wei Huo’s body aura had been transformed into more than ten paths, each path’s power was balanced. But dividing a person with great power into more than ten paths, each balanced path was evidently only a tenth of the total powerful force.

Therefore, after suffering multiple attacks, all were directly extinguished...
