“Remember, there are mountains beyond mountains, and people beyond people! Do not think that mastering a bit of superficial knowledge makes you invincible in the world!”
“The true path of flames is far more profound than you could ever imagine!”
With that, the golden fire phoenix let out a cry and transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into the horizon.
The Departing Fire Demon Lord and the Fire Spirit Star Lord were left staring at each other, their faces full of shock and shame.
“This… who on earth is this?”
The Departing Fire Demon Lord murmured to himself, his eyes filled with fear.
He could feel that if the owner of that voice earlier had wanted to kill him, it would have been as easy as lifting a finger!
The Fire Spirit Star Lord’s expression was grave. He took a deep breath and said solemnly,
“I do not know, but one thing is certain: this senior is undoubtedly an ancient monster who has lived for countless ages! His mastery of flames has reached a realm beyond our wildest imagination!”
A flicker of fear passed through the Departing Fire Demon Lord’s eyes. He glanced at the Soul Devouring Venerable beside him, then at the Fire Spirit Star Lord in the distance, and suddenly made a decision.
“Soul Devouring Venerable, let us go!” the Departing Fire Demon Lord said in a deep voice.
The Soul Devouring Venerable was stunned. “Demon Lord, are we just leaving like this?”
The Departing Fire Demon Lord said coldly, “What else are we to do, stay here? Did you not hear what that senior said earlier? In his presence, we are nothing but two bits of trash!”
“If we stay, and that senior changes his mind and decides to deal with us, we will not even have a chance to resist!”
With that, the Departing Fire Demon Lord wasted no more time. He turned and left with the Soul Devouring Venerable.
They transformed into two streaks of light and vanished into the horizon in an instant.
The Fire Spirit Star Lord watched the direction in which the Departing Fire Demon Lord and the Soul Devouring Venerable fled, but he did not give chase.
He knew that with his current strength, it was impossible to hold them back.
Moreover, the appearance of that mysterious powerhouse earlier had made him realise his own insignificance.
He needed time to digest the insights from before and to re-examine his understanding of the path of flames.
The Fire Spirit Star Lord took a deep breath, exhaustion filling his eyes.
At this moment, Chen Ping’s brows were tightly furrowed. That flame just now had given him a sense of familiarity.
Suddenly, Chen Ping’s body shuddered. He remembered: it was the Supreme Fire of the Flame Demon.
Thinking of the Flame Demon, Chen Ping instantly withdrew the Dragon Pattern Bell and leaped to his feet. He wanted to chase after it and see who this mysterious person truly was.
However, there was no trace at all in the sky above.
There were only three lingering auras remaining.
Sensing the three auras, Chen Ping’s body trembled even more violently.
Because he discovered that among these three auras was the presence of Su Yuqi and Ning Zhi.
“Yuqi, Yuqi…”
Chen Ping roared loudly, his voice filled with helplessness.
No one knew what had happened to Chen Ping, so they all gathered around.
Only Hu Mazi, hearing Chen Ping call Su Yuqi’s name, was slightly taken aback. “Chen Ping, did you see Yuqi?”
Chen Ping shook his head. “I sensed her aura…”
“You know the owner of that flame?” The Fire Spirit Star Lord looked at Chen Ping in shock and asked.
Chen Ping nodded. “If I am not mistaken, that flame should be the Supreme Fire of the Flame Demon.”
“Flame Demon?” The Fire Spirit Star Lord frowned, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar.
“I once mentioned to you that the demonic supreme fire in my body comes from this Flame Demon.”
Chen Ping explained.
Upon hearing this, the Fire Spirit Star Lord’s body trembled slightly. He remembered now: he had once mocked it, saying that the Flame Demon’s supreme fire was rubbish and that only the Departing Fire Demon Lord’s demonic supreme fire was powerful.
Now, it seemed that this Flame Demon’s supreme fire was far stronger than theirs.
At this thought, the Fire Spirit Star Lord swallowed hard. Fortunately, the Flame Demon had not been present when he was boasting back then, or he would probably have been dead by now.
