Roar–
A dragon roar stirred the water vapour.
Water Jiao, Fire Jiao, Green Jiao, and Gold Jiao flew in the air, their teeth and claws flailing.
“Two weak human races, since you know our identities, you must die!”
“Dragon Might Spitting!”
The four augur dragons opened their mouths and spat in unison.
In an instant, the four types of spitting breath – waves, flames, poisonous gas, and golden light – poured out, like a four-coloured cloud that covered and pressed down, sweeping across the boiling water lake to devour Qin Li and Yun Shiyu.
“Boring!”
Yun Shiyu slashed out with her sword.
The power of an Immortal King, even with a casual strike, was not something an Immortal Zun could resist. With just a single stroke of the sword, a sharp sword aura erupted, beheading the Green Jiao.
Boom!
There was a roar.
The hundred-foot green scow fell and smashed into the boiling water lake, staining the water red and stirring up waves of a thousand layers, shocking the remaining three scow dragons.
“What, a single move killed the Green Jiao!”
“How is that possible, our demon race is far superior to the human race of the same rank!”
“Unless she is far superior to an Immortal Exalt and is a Half Immortal King, why is there no name for her on the intelligence.”
Qin Li smiled without saying a word and snapped his fingers.
With a swoosh, golden light shot out, transforming into a fifth-grade golden sword that flew across the sky, as fast as thunder, directly chopping down the Golden Jiao’s head.
Boom!
There was another explosive sound.
The huge auger body landed in the lake, stirring up countless blood-coloured waves.
“Surprisingly, it’s two Half Immortal Kings!”
“Let’s run away!”
The Fire Jiao and Water Jiao were horrified, instantly realising that they had kicked the iron plate, they hurriedly drummed up their demonic Qi and rose up into the clouds, wanting to escape from here in a hurry.
“Can you escape?”Yun Shiyu coldly smiled and slashed out another sword, a raging Dragon Tiger Sword Qi, instantly tearing apart the Water Jiao.
Qin Li also struck out a golden light, but did not kill painfully, if turned into a golden rope, trapping the fire auger in a ball and tearing it back hard.
“Human, what do you want!”The Fire Jiao spat flames from its mouth and struggled, but was unable to break free from the golden rope.
Qin Li said indifferently, “Your leader should be a Demon King, what exactly is his cultivation level?”
“Hahaha! Damned human race, now that the Fire Hidden Mystic Realm is closed, it has become our hunting ground, the Demon King will help us take revenge!”The Fire Jiao roared in anger, its body was covered in red light, overflowing with terrifying energy.
“Self-explosion!”Qin Li shook his head, only to behead the Fire Jiao.
Up to this point!
All four scaly dragons had been beheaded.
Yun Shiyu’s face changed slightly as she worriedly said, “I didn’t expect that there was a Demon King mixed in the secret realm, this is going to be a big trouble.”
Qin Li pondered for a while and proposed, “Let’s hurry to the Phoenix Nest Valley, where is the core of the secret realm, people from the nine great clans will go over there, let’s spread the news of the demon race and hope that more cultivators will be on guard.”
“Good, let’s set off now!”Yun Shiyu nodded.
The two of them collected the four auger skeletons.
Then they sped all the way to the Phoenix Nest Valley.
Immortal Kings flew away, naturally their speed was extremely fast, and in just an hour’s work, the duo entered the core of the Fire Hidden Mysterious Realm.
The temperature here was frighteningly high, looking around with extreme eyes, scorched earth in all directions, there were still some flames burning on the ground, and blazing lava was overflowing from the cracks in the ground, and in the sky was thick sulphurous black smoke, mixed with ferocious fire venom, and it would kill them to take a whiff.
“The environment here is too extreme!”Yun Shiyu couldn’t help but spit.
Qin Li laughed, “To the human race, this place is as hot as hell, but to the Phoenix Clan, it’s as warm as a fairyland.”
The two chatted as they flew.
Advancing another twenty miles, the scenery changed drastically.
There was a sea of blazing fire in all directions, and lava flowed on the ground, transforming into a large crimson river, in which there were also some precious ores flowing, which were all erupted from the ground.
“We’re here!”
Yun Shiyu pointed ahead.
Qin Li looked out and found quite a few high mountains.
At a rough estimate, thirty-six peaks, the mountains were bare, with a reddish hue all over, arranged in a very regular manner, if one looked down from above, one could see a blooming red lotus of a gigantic mountain peak, and at the centre of the lotus, was the Phoenix Nest Valley, raging with endless departing flames, with fiery light that scorched the heavens.
“Let’s go over there!”
Qin Li, Yun Shiyu stepped into the air.
The two landed on top of a lotus petal peak.
On the other lotus petal peaks, there were already quite a few people standing, including the Nine Great Patriarchs, as well as all the strong cultivators, all of them at Immortal Exalted cultivation levels.
Their faces changed drastically when they saw Qin Li and Yun Shiyu walking together.
“Greetings to the Immortal King of the Outer Dao, Immortal King of the Rain Sword!”
“The two Immortal Kings are here in force, but for the Vermilion Phoenix Fruit.”
Peach Red Dust came over with a smile and softly said, “There are forty-nine Vermilion Phoenix Fruits in the valley, I wonder how many Immortal Kings would like to take.”
The hearts of the remaining eight Patriarchs tightened, if these two Immortal Kings joined forces and collected all the Vermilion Phoenix Fruits, they wouldn’t even have room to resist.
Yun Shiyu shook her head and said, “I didn’t come here this time for the Vermilion Phoenix Fruit, but to tell you guys something, the Demon Race has mixed into the Fire Hidden Mystic Realm, and is on a killing spree against the Human Race, and there’s also a Demon King coming in.”
Heard!
The crowd of cultivators were a bit unconvinced.
“Ah! The demon race mixed into the secret realm!”
“It can’t be, the demon race has been silent for hundreds of thousands of years?”
“The Demon Race are all hiding deep in the mountains, lingering on, how could they possibly enter the Secret Realm and hunt the Human Race.”
Yun Shiyu shook her head and directly threw out two jiao corpses, saying, “On our way here, we encountered an ambush by the demon race, this is the evidence. Incidentally, many of the disciples of the nine great clans were killed.”
The faces of the nine patriarchs were suddenly ugly, and they hurriedly took out their communication jade talismans and called out to the disciples of each clan, but they found a large number of silent voices.
“Oh no, something has happened to them.”
“It’s really the Demon Race, and there’s a Demon King mixed in!”
“Something big has happened, quickly have all the disciples under the sect enter the Phoenix Nest Valley, lest they scatter all over the place and be broken by the demon race.”
The hearts of the nine great patriarchs trembled violently as a wave of panic spread out.
Although they were noble Half Immortal Kings, they were as fragile as paper mache in front of the Demon Kings. The immediate plan was to rely on the two Immortal Kings to get through this.
“Immortal King!”Peach red dust called even more crispy bones, the movement also more and more intimate, set close to say, “I have some thousand year old snow silkworm silk in my hand, can catch a few Vermilion Phoenix Fruit for the two Immortal Kings, I don’t know if you guys ……”
Yun Shiyu waved her hand and interrupted, “I came here for the Li Fire.”
In the Phoenix Nest Valley.
It was filled with bursts of off-fire, blazing.
At first glance, it was a round of fire sun, which was filled with flame vortexes, presenting terrifyingly high temperatures, incinerating financial iron, and even Immortal Kings would find it difficult to withstand.
It is in this extreme environment, a three zhang fruit tree stands proudly, the trunk of the tree is pale and crimson, like a ruby carved into, the leaves are bright red like blood, presenting a feathery shape, which also hangs forty-nine vermilion fruits, the light burns.
“I’m going to cultivate an immortal art, so don’t disturb me.”
Yun Shiyu sat on top of the mountain peak, her body surrounded by Dragon Tiger Sword Intent, her eyes were golden light, and she was exhaling departing fire, obviously cultivating the original version of the Departing Fire Xuan Sword Pupil, the Departing Fire Golden Pupil.
Peach Red Dust smiled awkwardly and asked again, “Outer Path Immortal King, should I help you catch a few more Vermillion Bird Fruits!”
“No need!”
Qin Li flatly refused.
His gaze was deep as he stared at the Phoenix Nest Valley, where the blazing departed fire was burning.
The departed fire within his body resonated, radiating a primal longing that compelled him to take a step forward and step into the sea of blazing fire.
“Immortal King, don’t go over! The temperature in the valley is frightening, even if the dead Thousand Year Snow Silkworms can’t hold out for more than a few breaths, they’ll be burned out.”Peach Red Dust was alarmed and hurriedly blocked the way.
“No harm done!”
Qin Li calmly stepped into the sea of fire.
His body was born of golden light, resembling a piece of divine iron refined by a thousand hammers, walking in the midst of the fire, fearless of the heat and unharmed.
“How is it possible, did I blink?”Peach Red Dust rubbed her eyes vigorously.
“The departing fire can burn an Immortal King to death, why is he fine!”The Giant Spirit Sovereign’s jaw dropped.
“It’s hard to believe that the Departing Flame isn’t as strong as imagined!”The Earthflame Grand Elder’s eyes rolled and he also stepped into the sea of fire, only to be burned so much that his long hair and white beard were burned away.
It was only then that the rest of the cultivators understood Qin Li’s terror, and a wave of awe rose steeply in their hearts.
Amidst the sea of fire.
Qin Li entwined the departing fire and stepped into the air.
The further in he went, the higher the temperature became, and Qin Li could only take off his Bewitching Black Robe so as not to burn this piece of precious clothing.
The moment he opens his storage bag, he accidentally discovers that the Thunderflame Copper Plaque emits a radiance that seems to have a certain fire-repelling effect, capable of dispelling the three-foot Departing Flame.
Solely, Qin Li carried a copper plaque, his entire body resembling a godly man cast in gold, stepping through the departing fire and crossing the void to arrive in front of the Vermilion Phoenix Fruit Tree.
“What a treasure tree!”
Qin Li carefully observed the jewel-like tree trunk and found that it bore ruddy lines, which were formed by the Departing Flame’s day and night immersion, forming the Departing Flame Spiritual Patterns, which happened to be able to make up for the fact that he was the lack of it, thus advancing to the Immortal King’s Second Grade.
“As far as I’m concerned, the value of the fruit tree is far greater than the Vermilion Phoenix Fruit!”
Qin Li sat cross-legged, letting the departing fire forge his golden body, the epiphanies from these days surfaced in his heart, dribs and drabs, gathering into a river, to help him break through the realm.
