Nine hundred and ninety-eight anomalous flames gathered together and broke through the seal. In an instant, clouds surged in all directions. Above the valley, various flames soared into the sky, and heat waves swept across more than half of the demon race territory.
It was earth-shattering.
Within a radius of a hundred thousand li, all the demon race citizens trembled in fear, feeling as if they would be burned to death in the next second.
Before Elder Sheep could notify the Sovereign, the little white fox arrived with the various elders of the demon race.
Seeing the scene before them, everyone’s faces turned grave.
“Elder Monkey, what exactly happened? Why were these anomalous flames able to break through the seal?” Elder Bear asked quickly.
Elder Monkey’s face was pale as he said, “I do not know what happened either. Sovereign, quickly order the demon race citizens to evacuate. Once the anomalous flames riot, the demon race will be burned to nothing.”
The little white fox asked solemnly, “Where is Ye Changsheng?”
“He is inside the valley,” Elder Sheep said. His face suddenly changed, “This is bad. The anomalous flames have broken the seal. Would that not mean Brother Ye will be burned alive?”
The little white fox’s expression shifted. She decided without hesitation, “Elder Bear, immediately lead the other elders to evacuate the demon race citizens.”
With that, the little white fox stepped forward.
“Sovereign, where are you going?” Elder Bear asked.
“I am going to find Ye Changsheng,” the little white fox said.
“Absolutely not,” Elder Monkey urgently replied. “Based on the current situation, Ye Changsheng has probably already been burned to death by the anomalous flames. Now that those anomalous flames have broken free from the seal, if you enter at this time, Sovereign, you will face great peril.”
As high-level members of the demon race, everyone present knew that the anomalous flames sealed in the valley had been brought back by the Eternal Azure Heaven Great Emperor. Even a Saint-level anomalous flame could easily kill a Saint.
The little white fox had gone to the Immortal Mountain, causing her cultivation to drop. She was now merely an ordinary Saint. If she entered and the anomalous flames rioted, she would surely face dire consequences.
The little white fox said, “Ye Changsheng carries half the destiny of the human race and has obtained supreme opportunities from the Immortal Mountain. I believe he will not die easily.”
“Moreover, I brought him to the demon race. I must go in and rescue him.”
“Sovereign, please stay!” Elder Bear said. “Sovereign, you should lead the elders to evacuate the demon race citizens instead. My cultivation is higher than yours. I will go rescue Ye Changsheng.”
The little white fox replied, “Elder Bear, your injuries have not fully healed. If another mishap occurs, you will be in great trouble.”
“I will go personally.”
“Ye Changsheng is the future of our demon race. No accident can be allowed to befall him. I must rescue him.”
“Besides, the power of those anomalous flames is immense. Ye Changsheng is cautious in his actions. He should not have gone deep into the valley…”
Before she could finish.
“Sovereign, look quickly!” Elder Bear exclaimed in shock.
The little white fox looked up and saw, in the deepest core valley, a figure sitting cross-legged in the air, enveloped and burned by azure flames.
“It is Ye Changsheng!”
Elder Monkey was greatly alarmed, “How is this possible?”
“Ye Changsheng is only at the extreme Cave Heaven realm. How could he possibly enter the deepest core valley?”
Elder Monkey thought he was seeing things. He rubbed his eyes vigorously and looked again, confirming that the figure was indeed Ye Qiu.
“Sovereign, did you not say he is cautious? Then how did he end up in the deepest core valley?”
“This Ye Changsheng is truly audacious and reckless.”
“Is he not courting death by doing this?”
“Hmph, if he can come out alive, watch me not split him in half.”
Rather than saying Elder Monkey was angry, it was more accurate to say he was afraid. After all, the valley where Ye Qiu was located contained an Emperor-level anomalous flame.
“This is trouble,” Elder Bear said with unprecedented gravity. “An Emperor-level anomalous flame can burn a Saint King to death. Rescuing Ye Changsheng will be difficult.”
“I will go,” the little white fox said without any hesitation before stepping forward.
However, at that moment, Elder Sheep suddenly said, “These anomalous flames have been sealed here for who knows how many tens of thousands of years. Now they have collectively broken free. Do you think this could be something Brother Ye caused?”
“Could he be… subduing the Emperor-level anomalous flame?”
Hearing this, the little white fox paused her step. Just as she was about to speak, Elder Monkey cut in first.
“Although I do not know how Ye Changsheng got there, if he truly intends to subdue the Emperor-level anomalous flame, that only proves Ye Changsheng is a super idiot.”
“An Emperor-level anomalous flame can only be subdued by a Great Emperor powerhouse. He, at the mere extreme Cave Heaven realm, actually dares to dream of subduing an Emperor-level anomalous flame. Is this not delusional?”
“Hmph, I think he is not only a super idiot but also a jinx.”
“These anomalous flames were sealed here for tens of thousands of years without incident. As soon as he enters, something like this happens. He is going to doom our demon race!”
“Originally, seeing his outstanding talent, rare in eternity, I even thought of taking him as my direct disciple. Now it seems he is a complete bringer of misfortune.”
“When he comes out, I will personally kill him…”
As he spoke, Elder Monkey’s voice weakened, “He will not come out. Alas… what a pity…”
The little white fox wasted no more words. She sacrificed the Demon-Refining Pot, preparing to go rescue Ye Qiu.
In an instant, the little white fox stopped again.
“Something is not right.”
Two beams of divine light shot from the little white fox’s eyes, directly piercing towards the depths of the valley. Her gaze was profoundly deep.
“Sovereign, what is not right?” Elder Sheep asked.
The little white fox said, “Apart from that Emperor-level anomalous flame, although the other anomalous flames have broken the seal, they have not left the valley. They all remain in place. For so long, no riot has occurred. Even the Saint-level anomalous flames are very docile.”
If a Saint-level anomalous flame rioted, the scene would not be what they were seeing now. Describing it as a massacre of living beings would not be an exaggeration.
Elder Monkey said, “That is because the Emperor-level anomalous flame has not left yet. The other anomalous flames are suppressed by the Emperor-level one, so they dare not act rashly.”
The little white fox continued, “I do not think so. Have you noticed? Ye Changsheng has been burned by the anomalous flame for so long, yet his physical body remains intact and unharmed.”
The other elders all looked towards the deepest valley. They saw raging flames boiling on Ye Qiu’s body, yet he was completely unscathed.
Moreover, the azure flames on Ye Qiu’s body were identical to the azure flames burning the void, clearly the Emperor-level anomalous flame.
“Indeed, he has been burned by the Emperor-level anomalous flame for so long. Why has he not fallen?” Elder Monkey was shocked. “Could it really be as Old Sheep said? Is Ye Changsheng subduing the Emperor-level anomalous flame?”
The little white fox said, “In my view, Ye Changsheng has probably already completely subdued the Emperor-level anomalous flame.”
“This is impossible…” Before Elder Monkey could finish, he suddenly saw Ye Qiu move.
Ye Qiu stood up tall, then spread his arms. Immediately, the azure anomalous flames between heaven and earth gathered towards the valley, then drilled into Ye Qiu’s body at an unbelievable speed.
In the blink of an eye, the Emperor-level anomalous flame disappeared.
“This…”
The scene fell into stunned silence.
Especially Elder Monkey. He had once entered the valley and subdued a low-grade heaven-level anomalous flame, so he naturally knew what it meant for the Emperor-level anomalous flame to enter Ye Qiu’s body.
“How is this possible?”
“His cultivation is so low. How could he subdue an Emperor-level anomalous flame?”
Elder Monkey’s face was full of shock as he murmured, “This Ye Changsheng is truly not human!”
“He is a monster…”
“An unparalleled monster!”
