C456 A Brown Flame Appeared in the Sky
At their age, let alone becoming a King Rank of Middle Rank warrior, even breaking through to the King Rank of Low Rank realm was something worthy of being proud of.
Thinking back, the grand elder of Ling family in Meteor Rock City was only able to break through to the King Rank realm because of Ling Xiao's ten thousand year old Tree Milk. It could be seen that it wasn't that easy to break through to the King Rank realm all of a sudden. This was a cushion for warriors. It was broken through like a dragon entering the sea, allowing one to freely travel between the heavens and the earth.
The drum brothers did not rely on the great sects to cultivate themselves to this extent. It could be said that their heavenly Bin was definitely not inferior to ordinary geniuses.
While Ling Xiao secretly praised the Peng brothers, the brothers were even more shocked by Ling Xiao.
They had long heard from the Poison Emperor that the master of this place was very young and promising, but when they really saw it, it was a little too young.
In their twenties, their strength actually already surpassed their several decades of cultivation. Moreover, looking at their bearing and demeanor, it was indeed unique to the king.
Even the high and mighty Poison Emperor had to respectfully address them as' young master ', while their powerful mistress had actually become a young married woman next door in front of them. This was too shocking.
One should know that the Poison Emperor's reputation had already shaken the Southern Domain a hundred years ago, and the Blood Asura's reputation wasn't just for show.
However, in front of this young man, their sharpness couldn't be any weaker.
In addition to the Blue Flood Dragon that they had seen before, the six dragon claws indicated that it was at least a Flood Dragon above the Sixth Rank realm. What did this mean?
That was a Spirit Beast that was comparable to the Celestial Sovereign Rank realm. It could sweep across any place in the Southern Domain.
The Peng brothers were completely subservient to Ling Xiao. It was as if they didn't dare to look down on Ling Xiao at all because he was young.
With the mercenary group brought by the Peng brothers, it was not that difficult to organize an auction.
At the same time, Poisonous Scorpion had already arranged for people to go to the Big City to spread the news of Venomous Insect City being reopened.
Before this, Ling Xiao had visited Tang family, Fire Mercenary Group, and Xin family.
Ling Xiao did not know that Nangong Lia had sent someone to inform the Iron Reining Tribe's King Tie Le later.
For a moment, the four major powers had proven that the Venomous Insect City had indeed reopened. They would also provide the Venomous Insect Clan with supplies.
In the following half a month, the major powers sent people to the Venomous Insect City to investigate. Some rogue cultivators and mercenaries chose to stay in Gu City.
Gradually, Venomous Insect City became a little more popular. It was no longer as lifeless as before.
Ling Xiao saw the situation and felt relieved and happy.
He believed that with Cai Xiayue and the Poison Emperor in charge of the Venomous Insect City, no one would dare to cause trouble here.
Everything was settled. Ling Xiao knew that it was time for him to return to the northwest.
However, before he returned, another strange incident delayed his return.
In the mountain range not far from Venomous Insect City, there were actually a few mountains that suddenly turned into fiery mountains. The surrounding Spirit Beasts fled in all directions. The tree-fire spirit grass was also gradually withering. The sky above had turned brown and red. It looked extremely strange.
Although this strange phenomenon did not affect the reconstruction of Venomous Insect City, many people believed that this phenomenon was definitely the emergence of some spiritual object or a disaster.
As for those new martial artists who went to check, they couldn't find anything. It must be because the aura there was too high. Ordinary people wouldn't be able to get too close to it.
On the contrary, there were quite a number of fire attribute martial artists who ran to the vicinity to cultivate. They actually gained quite a bit of comprehension towards the fire attribute.
Ling Xiao always felt that this phenomenon was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. Therefore, he planned to go over and take a look.
Five miles east of Venomous Insect City was a sparse mountain range. Other than some Spirit Beast of Low Ranks and some trees that were not very old, there was nothing else worthy of attention.
In the vicinity, the soil and rocks of the five mountain ranges that were connected to each other had all changed. They had changed from the original ashen color to a brownish red color. Those trees and spirit herbs had all become lifeless, as if they could cut off their life force at any time.
Above the mountain ridges, there were indeed waves of heatwaves that made one feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao had the Demon Spirit Blue Flame's protection, so he was not affected by the heatwaves at all.
As he flew here, the more Ling Xiao felt that this aura seemed to have been felt there before.
Suddenly, the Demon Spirit Blue Fire Bead in Ling Xiao's sea of consciousness sensed something. It sent a strong message in his sea of consciousness, as if it was in the Artifact Refining Pool of the Tang family, wanting to escape his control.
"Right, it's a Brown Nether Fire... It must be a Brown Nether Fire!" Ling Xiao's mind flashed. He finally remembered what caused this phenomenon.
That's right. It was the Earth Grade Fire Brown Nether Fire left behind by Dan Chendao who came to Venomous Insect City earlier.
Thinking back to that day in Gu City, Dan Chendao was killed instantly by Old Woman in Large Square World. At that time, he was only focused on finding ways to escape, so he had the mind to pay attention to the movement of the Brown Nether Fire.
Later on, Old Woman disappeared, leaving only Ling Xiao and a few people in the Venomous Insect City. When Poison Scorpion and Cann Bao were searching for the things on the dead person's body, they also brought back Dan Chendao's Space Ring. However, Ling Xiao had always thought that the Brown Nether Fire had disappeared along with Dan Chendao's death.
Now, looking at the scene in front of him, Ling Xiao knew that the medicinal Brown Nether Fires must have escaped long ago and had rooted themselves in this place, which was why this phenomenon was formed.
No wonder the phenomenon here gave Ling Xiao a sense of familiarity. This brown and red color was exactly the same as the color of the flame that Dan Chendao used back then.
Ling Xiao glanced at the few people wandering around the mountain, then he landed in a place that wasn't too hot.
He did this because he didn't want to attract the attention of others.
Then, he started running towards the hottest, darkest brown mountain range at full speed.
As soon as he entered the mountain range, a wave of heat wave hit his face. The flames seemed to have a mind of their own as they wrapped around Ling Xiao.
Unfortunately, those flames had turned into a feast for the Blue Flame and were swallowed one by one.
Since the last time he was in the Artifact Refining Pool of the Tang family, he had heard from Lvweng that the strange pearls would advance as well. However, the energy they needed to absorb must be the same. This way, it would be beneficial to them.
The Demon Spirit Blue Fire and the Brown Nether Fire both belonged to the source energy of fire. Although the Demon Spirit Blue Fire was of a high grade, if it could absorb the Brown Nether Fire, its power would probably become even more terrifying.
However, Ling Xiao did not plan to let the Demon Spirit Blue Fire absorb the Brown Nether Fire. He had other plans.
After walking into the hottest area, he saw that the area within a radius of ten miles had turned black. This place did not have the slightest bit of vitality. There were only clusters of dark brown flames burning intensely, as if they would never extinguish.
The temperature here was terrifyingly high, and the flames were as fierce as ferocious beasts. They were not something ordinary people could get close to. Even Earth Emperor Stage warriors would be burnt to ashes if they wanted to reach this place without any preparation.
Ling Xiao, however, wasn't affected at all. He had the protection of the Heavenly Fire. Unless he was burned by a Heavenly Fire of the same level, no fire could harm him.
In this area, different types of fire seeds were in different shapes. They were all dark brown in color.
Some were in the shape of some kind of medicinal Spirit Beast, some were flickering like flowers or trees. Ordinary people could not tell which was the true fire of medicinal Brown Nether Fires.
If it was anyone else, they would probably have to spend a lot of effort to find the flame of a medicinal Brown Nether Fire.
However, Ling Xiao Behind an inconspicuous rock layer, he saw a little dark brown fire seed.
This small fire seed was very agile. When it saw Ling Xiao coming over, it instantly soared. That fierce flame suddenly burned towards Ling Xiao.
This flame was surging violently, and its energy was extremely explosive.
Any expert would be swallowed by this thick flame if they were not careful. Not even dregs would be left.
Fortunately, Ling Xiao did not need to be on guard. The Demonic Blue Flame immediately pounced towards the Brown Nether Fire.
The Brown Nether Fire seemed to have met its nemesis. It was actually crushed by the Blue Flame in an instant.
And in the heart of the fire below, that little flame seemed to have felt fear and actually chose to flee.
Ling Xiao did not expect that this earth fire was actually so intelligent.
"There is no way to escape!" Ling Xiao called out softly. He controlled the blue fire with both of his palms and chased after the small flame.
In fact, Ling Xiao didn't need to control it. The blue flame was like a wolf meeting a sheep. It revealed its ferocious side and wrapped around the Brown Nether Fire, trying to devour it.
The Brown Nether Fire was the fire seed in front of the earth fire. Naturally, it wouldn't sit and wait for death. It once again displayed a surging and explosive energy, isolating the Blue Flame.
At the same time, the brown flames surrounding the mountain range also wrapped around it. It seemed to be planning to cooperate with the outside and devour the Blue Flame.
Unfortunately, although this plan was good, it underestimated the heavenly fire energy of a higher level than it.
Ling Xiao originally did not need to exert force, the medicinal Demon Spirit Blue Fire Beads in his sea of consciousness automatically transferred out energy.
As more and more Blue Flames appeared, the brownish-red flames were forced to retreat.
Very quickly, in this area of ten miles, it was almost occupied by the medicinal Blue Flames.
And between these Blue Flames, there were faint traces of a strange purple feeling.
Ling Xiao knew that this was the reason why the Demon Spirit Blue Flame had absorbed the thunder and fire accumulated in the Tang family's Artifact Refining Pool for many years.
The Brown Nether Fires seemed to sense a strong sense of danger and intended to escape from the ground.
Unfortunately, the Blue Flame did not give it the chance at all.
The Blue Flame exerted its strength once again. In a moment, only a tiny bit of the reddish-brown flame was left swaying in the middle of the Blue Flame. It seemed to be very panicked, but also very helpless. It was like a lost lamb that had encountered a pack of wolves, and could become food in the stomach of others at any time.
Just as the Blue Flame was about to swallow the medicinal Brown Nether Fire seed, Ling Xiao sent out a strong intent to stop it from making its next move.
The Blue Flame was very unwilling, but it could not go against Ling Xiao's wishes. It only surrounded the medicinal Brown Nether Fire and did not allow it to escape.
Ling Xiao started to think of a way to keep it. This was a strange fire source. It was extremely tempting to any alchemist.
He couldn't let the Demon Spirit Blue Fire destroy it.
Although the Demon Spirit Blue Flame could benefit from absorbing it, he did not wish to do so. He had great uses for it.
