When they arrived at the entrance to the third layer of the core world, Ji Dong looked around at his companions. They all looked at him with determination. The performance of the Fire Crows had greatly stimulated the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples.
Even the weak Earth's Core Beasts could be so united and release such a strong cohesiveness. How could they be weaker than the Fire Crows? The battle experience and insights gained from the previous day's battle were secondary. More importantly, it had raised the fighting spirit of the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples to an unprecedented level. This was because they were all thinking about the scene of the Holy War between the two continents not long after. They definitely did not wish for their companions to use their lives as a shield like the ordinary Fire Crows. They were even more unwilling to see the civilians and soldiers of the Radiant Five Elements Mainland being slaughtered by the enemy. Only by becoming stronger, only by becoming stronger could they use their own strength to protect those fresh lives.
The Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon crouched down and the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples floated up. The Lord of the Dark Flame and the Lord of the Flames followed closely behind Ji Dong. However, the first to fly up was not the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon. Following a loud phoenix cry, the Eclipse Phoenix Huo 'er had already soared into the sky and was the first to fly towards the entrance to the third layer.
Ji Dong did not put Huo 'er back into the Vermillion Bird Bracelet. This was because he wanted to use its Eye of Truth to coordinate with his own soul detection. The dangers of the core world had been presented to them time and time again. They could not afford to be careless.
Huo 'er's phoenix cry had awakened a large number of Fire Crows. When they saw the Sacred Evolution Fire Dragon soar into the sky, Ji Dong had already led the Heavenly Stem Holy Disciples and disappeared at the entrance to the third layer.
The cries of countless Fire Crows reverberated throughout the entire second layer of the core world. This long cry lasted for a full three days before gradually coming to a stop. Ji Dong had not only brought them power, but also dignity. This great Lord had been deeply engraved into the hearts of every Fire Crow.
With Huo 'er's Eye of Truth and the Phoenix's Ultimate Dual Flames, any poisonous gas that came close was completely melted by the Flaming Bar. The second passage to the core world was even faster than the first.
Compared to the second layer, the third layer of the core world was brighter. When Ji Dong and the others passed through, they did not encounter any obstacles.
The passageway between the first and second floors was guarded by the fire giants, and the passageway between the second and third floors was guarded by the Raven King and all of the Fire Raven elites. Although the Raven King and the turkey elites weren't as strong as the fire giants, they could mobilize tens of thousands of Fire Ravens, and their overall strength surpassed the fire giants.
The surrounding temperature had obviously risen by a few degrees. As far as the eye could see, the red color of the ground had also become brighter. Ji Dong stood on top of Maotai's head and slowly clenched his fists. In a deep voice, he said, "Our training in the core world has just begun. We still have one and a half months. Our goal is to obtain enough tokens to participate in the celebration and reach the fifteenth floor of the core world."
Fury said, "Little Junior Brother, are you going to fight for the position of the acting Hierarch?"
After a moment of silence, Ji Dong said, "I'll try my best. Let's create an unrestricted fixed teleportation formation here as well."
Fu Luo was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't there already one outside?"
Ji Dong shook his head and said, "From the looks of it, the power of the core world has far exceeded our expectations. Although unrestricted fixed teleportation can be done anywhere, the further the distance, the longer the preparation time is. From now on, we will set up such a formation every time we go deeper into the core world. We will strive to be able to teleport away as quickly as possible when we encounter danger." Ji Dong paused and looked at his companions with a burning gaze. He said, "Do you guys think that I'm the leader of the Heavenly Stems Saints, the Heavenly Stems Saint King?"
The Heavenly Stems Saints nodded at the same time. Only Tianji looked at Ji Dong with a slight frown.
Ji Dong continued, "If that's the case, my words are orders. In the core world, if we encounter an undefeatable enemy in the future, you must immediately activate the teleportation formation and leave as soon as I announce the retreat. There's no delay. I will cover the retreat."
"No." Chen Sixuan almost blurted out.
Ji Dong's sharp gaze instantly landed on her face, "I've already made up my mind. I'm the strongest amongst the Heavenly Stem Saints, and I have a Saint-grade physique. The Earth Dragon Ancestor once said that it's not easy for me to die even if I want to. If I encounter any danger that I can't handle, then I'll only be able to leave after all of you evacuate. The more time you use, the safer I'll be. Don't argue with me about this, unless one of you has the ability to defeat me. I won't hesitate to give this position to that person. I'm the one who brought everyone to the core, so I have to be responsible for everyone's safety. Danger exists at all times, but if anyone of us dies, I'll definitely be the first."
The Heavenly Stems Saints fell silent when they heard Ji Dong's words. However, there was something else in their eyes. Fury gritted his teeth so hard that the muscles on his cheeks bulged. In terms of character, they all knew that Ji Dong was right. However, in terms of feelings, who would agree to it?
At this moment, Ajin, who rarely spoke, suddenly spoke up. She used her unique icy tone and said indifferently, "If a person stands in our way, we will kill them. If a god stands in our way, we will kill a god."
These simple words expressed the thoughts of all the Heavenly Stems Saints. As long as they were undefeatable and undefeatable, how could the situation that Ji Dong mentioned happen?
…
The core world, the 15th level.
The first 14 levels of the core world had multiple entrances. Even at the 14th level, there were two entrances. However, from the 14th level onwards, there was only one entrance.
The 15th level was simply a world that was carved out of red crystals. The rocks on the ground were all sparkling and translucent red crystals. If one looked closely, they would even discover that there was a viscous liquid flowing under the crystals. Wasn't that scorching lava?!
In the core world, most of the races lived between the 5th and 10th levels. There were more than 200 races living in these 5 levels. However, at the 15th level, the number of races living there was only slightly more than the first and second levels.
The first level of the core world was mainly inhabited by the Fire Spirit Tribe, while the second level was inhabited by the Fire Crow Tribe. There were very few races there because the fire element there was far from active. As long as it was allowed, no race in the core world would be willing to live there. Only when the fire element was abundant would it be able to better aid the evolution of the creatures in the core world.
However, the 15th level was a place where 70% of the races could not live. The temperature was as high as 80 degrees Celsius, and even the air would often distort. Those who could live there and rule over the 15th level were undoubtedly the most powerful races in the core world. In the entire 15th level, there were a total of three races: the Fire Demon Tribe, the Fire Spirit Tribe, and the Fire Lotus Tribe.
These three races were known as the strongest races in the core world. As for the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth floors of the core world, it was a world that not many of the three races knew about. Most of the experts only knew that the Flame Tyrant King and the Dark Flame Devil King lived on the sixteenth and seventeenth floors respectively. The two great sovereigns constantly waged war in order to fight for a place to live. In the end, they were killed by the flames that walked out of the eighteenth floor, thus unifying the entire core world. The last three floors were no longer a place that ordinary creatures could live in. It was said that only the three great elders of the Holy Flame Church could enter. Listen to the guidance of the Great God of the Flaming Bar.
The fifteenth layer of the core was not very big. However, there were three huge castles here. If a human could come here, they would definitely be shocked to discover that there were even more magnificent buildings in the core world than the human world. Every castle was like a small city, and they formed a corner in the entire fifteenth layer of the core world. The exit from the fourteenth layer to the fifteenth layer was at the center of the three castles. As for where the passageway to the sixteenth layer was, very few creatures in the core world knew.
At this moment, 20 tall and burly Fire Demons were patrolling at the entrance of the huge tunnel. They did not look exactly the same. To put it simply, they were divided into two forms. One of them was burning with golden flames, and their burly bodies were completely shrouded in flames. One could vaguely see that their bodies were extremely sturdy, and they even had three long horns on their heads. The other type of Fire Demon looked almost the same, but the only difference was that their bodies were burning with pitch-black and cold flames.
That's right, the Flame Tyrant King and the Dark Flame Devil King that once ruled the core world were both from the Fire Demon Clan. At that time, the Fire Demon Clan could be said to be at its peak, far surpassing the other clans in the core world. Unfortunately, the Flame Tyrant King and the Dark Flame Devil King had divided the entire Fire Demon Clan into two, and they fought with each other, inciting other clans to wage war against each other, causing chaos in the core world. During that period of time, at least 30 clans in the core world were annihilated, and it was because of this that the Flaming Bar came into being and unified the core world.
After the two kings were killed by the Flaming Bar, the Fire Demon Clan instantly declined. In order to continue the clan and not take revenge for the hatred that they had built up over the years, the Flame Demon Clan and the Dark Flame Devil Clan merged to form the Fire Demon Clan, which stabilized the situation. As the saying goes, a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Although the Fire Demon Clan had suffered such a heavy blow, they were still one of the three strongest clans in the core world.
The exit of the fifteenth floor was guarded by the three clans in turns every month. Of course, this was a rough calculation based on human time. The clans in the core world naturally had their own calculation method.
The Fire Spirit Clan was different from the Fire Demon Clan. Their biggest characteristic was that they did not have a physical body. They were an ancient clan that had lived in the core world for an unknown period of time. Most of the living creatures in the core world only knew that the Fire Spirit Clan had existed before the Fire Demon Clan.
In the core world, the Fire Spirit Clan could be said to be the most beloved clan because they hated war, loved peace, and were extremely powerful. Back then, the reason why the Flaming Bar could kill the two kings and unify the entire core world was inseparable from the Fire Spirit Clan's help. All clans respected the Fire Spirit Clan greatly. Even the Fire Demon Clan that disliked them did not dare to provoke them. After all, the current Fire Demon Clan could not be compared to the past.
As for the Fire Lotus Clan, the last of the three clans, it was personally founded by the Flaming Bar Empress. There was more than one Red Lotus in the core world. The Fire Lotus Clan could be said to have come from the eighteenth floor of the core world. When the Flaming Bar awakened and gained consciousness, she transplanted the entire Fire Lotus Clan to the fifteenth floor of the core world.
Although the Fire Lotus Clan was born in the eighteenth floor, the environment there was too harsh. Only the Flaming Bar was able to awaken from it. In the fifteenth floor of the core world, the Fire Lotus Clan displayed a unique advantage. In just a short thousand years, hundreds of Fire Lotus Clan powerhouses awakened. Without exception, their strength had already reached Level-10 after awakening. They were even more powerful than the Dragon Clan on the surface world. In addition, the Flaming Bar could be said to be the clan leader of the Fire Lotus Clan. As a result, no one dared to obstruct the development of the Fire Lotus Clan. After a long time, the Fire Lotus Clan had grown into a powerful clan that could rival the Fire Spirit Clan and the Fire Demon Clan.
With the existence of the Flaming Bar, the three clans had always lived in harmony. However, after losing the aura of the Flaming Bar Goddess, the three clans in the core world appeared to be united, but at heart, they were divided. Small frictions and disputes began to appear, especially between the Fire Demon Clan and the Fire Lotus Clan.
The prosperity of the Fire Demon Clan could be said to have been extinguished by the Flaming Bar. Naturally, they did not have any good feelings towards the Fire Lotus Clan. In the past, with the suppression of the Flaming Bar, the Fire Demon Clan naturally did not dare to express anything. However, as the news of the Flaming Bar's disappearance was confirmed, the Fire Demon Clan was no longer willing to be left out. In particular, in the recent thousand years, an astonishing genius had appeared in the Fire Demon Clan. Under his command, the strength of the Fire Demon Clan rapidly increased, and there was already a faint trend of surpassing the Fire Spirit Clan and the Huolian Clan.
In order to allow the core world to continue developing steadily, the Fire Spirit King, the clan leader of the Fire Spirit Clan and one of the three Supreme Supreme Elders, decided to hold a celebration of the Holy Church. His goal was very simple, and that was to choose an acting leader to command the entire core world. He had no choice but to do so. The pressure brought by the Fire Demon Clan was increasing, and he was almost unable to suppress it. If he did not think of a solution, once a problem arose, the tragedy of the past might repeat itself.
