Su Ming stared at the fifth kiln one million feet away. At first glance, it looked like it was made of bronze and exuded an ancient presence. At the same time, if anyone took a closer look, they would be able to see that there were bloodstains on the kiln!
The bloodstains on it seemed to be a testament to the devastation it had gone through when it had sliced through space from the Fifth True World. Su Xuan Yi and his wife must have been surrounded by an endless amount of people in the past before they managed to force their way out.
Countless years had passed, and many things had disappeared in the long river of time. However, the blood on the fifth kiln had pierced through the power of time and was still around, causing all those who saw the fifth kiln for the first time to be unable to help but feel their hearts tremble.
At that moment, once the purple flames disappeared, a short period of peace appeared in the fifth kiln. As for how long this peace would last, Su Ming did not know, but based on the other people's actions, this time would definitely pass in the blink of an eye.
The first person to cross one million feet in the galaxy right at the front was Huang Mei. He was so fast that he closed in on the fifth kiln in the blink of an eye. As the two yellow dragons around him roared and surrounded him, he did not stop. Instead, with a bang, he touched the fifth kiln. His entire body was stuck to it, and a rarely seen look of pain appeared on his face. However, his hands were locked tightly around the kiln, and he did not loosen his grip.
The fifth kiln was so big that the yellow-browed man was incredibly insignificant compared to it. As Su Ming closed in on it, the fifth kiln continued growing larger in his eyes, causing him to be able to see with just one glance that there was a fine crack at the spot where the yellow-browed man was.
The second person to get close to the kiln was Reverend Zi Long. His body turned into a long purple arc that looked like a purple dragon. When he closed in with a bang, he immediately placed his right hand on the kiln. The spot where he closed in was also the edge of the crack. At the instant he touched the kiln, sizzling sounds rang out. Clearly, the heat of the kiln made even him frown. His expression of pain might not be as great as Huang Mei's, and it was clear that he was enduring it, but he and Huang Mei knew just how difficult it was.
They were followed by the white-robed man, Zhu You Cai, and Flame Fiends' Progenitor. The three of them approached the kiln almost at the same time, and they were also at the edge of the crack. When Su Ming looked over, he could see that the five people had their hands firmly fastened to the kiln. They had their bodies close to the crack, but they did not do anything, as if they were waiting.
Su Ming was the last person to approach the fifth kiln. At the instant he lifted his right hand and seized the wall of the kiln by the crack, he immediately sensed a powerful wave of heat surging into his body through his right hand with a bang.
The black horse used its intelligence to bring Su Ming to the side of the fifth kiln. Then, its two dragon heads opened wide and bit down on the kiln. Its teeth were like a person's fingers, and they clamped down on the kiln.
Almost at the instant Su Ming arrived, a powerful tremor spread out from within the fifth kiln. At the same time, Su Ming sensed the heat in the kiln rising once again. In the blink of an eye, it reached the limit of what his body could withstand. It was also at this moment that black, destructive flames suddenly erupted from the crack with loud bangs.
The destructive flames spread out from the cracks in the kiln and spread outwards from the kiln. Only at that moment did Su Ming see that there were countless cracks on the fifth kiln. The flames had spread out from these fine cracks and swept through the entire Divine Essence Star Ocean.
The moment the black flames of destruction erupted, the yellow-browed man let out a low growl and abruptly loosened his grip. He even raised his arms in front of his body to protect himself. He took a large step forward and unleashed an impact that shook everything in all directions. His body swayed, and he charged into the crack that was erupting the black flames.
As it charged in, the black flames of destruction immediately engulfed it. However, it could be seen that within the black flames of destruction, there was a huge fireball that was still moving forward at an extremely fast speed.
Naturally, Huang Mei was in that fireball. The two yellow dragons around him were rotating swiftly to form a tight defense, allowing him to charge into the distance in the face of the black flames and disappear without a trace.
Reverend Zi Long flew out at almost the same time as him. Without any expression on his face, he let go of the kiln with his right hand and turned into a long dragon that charged forward. He simply allowed the purple flames to devour him, but he could not stop for even a single moment. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the purple flames.
There was no sky or land in the fifth kiln. There was only a platform that was about ten thousand feet big. It was bronze in color, and a scorching heat spread out from it. There was an endless space in front of the platform, and there was an endless sea of fire tumbling about in that space. It exuded a thick wave of heat. The color of the flames would occasionally be red, sometimes blue, sometimes purple, and sometimes black. They would even mix together to turn into a multi-colored sea of fire.
As the sea of fire tumbled about, a loud rumble came from the flames, and Huang Mei's body shot out. His entire body looked as if it was burning, and he descended on the platform like a fireball. He stomped his feet, and the flames on his body were instantly extinguished.
Only then did he let out a sigh of relief. He lowered his head to look at his body and found that the corners of his robes had been reduced to ashes. His expression immediately turned slightly sour, and when he lifted his head, there was still lingering fear in his eyes.
'What powerful destructive flames. I've only been in there for a short while, and they've already burned the corners of my robes. If I stayed in there for a little longer, my life might have been in danger again.
'It's a pity that when the purple flames disappear and the black flames erupt, the barrier will be at its weakest, or else it would have been great if the purple flames could have stepped in.' The man shook his head. As he sighed, the sea of fire in the sky suddenly tumbled about violently again, and a purple figure rushed out.
The purple shadow was incredibly fast. In an instant, it descended on the platform. When the flames were extinguished, it turned into Reverend Zi Long's body, but a few strands of his hair turned into ashes and scattered away the moment he landed on the platform.
Huang Mei looked towards Zi Long, and Zi Long also looked towards the man. Once their gazes met, they averted their gazes. Even so, both of them had formed a general judgment of the other's level of cultivation once again.
"Fellow Daoist Zi Long, I am Huang Mei. I've heard of your fame for a long time, and now that I've met you today, it's just as the rumors say. Fellow Daoist, your level of cultivation is extraordinary. You're already half a step into Fate Realm." Huang Mei laughed and wrapped his fist in his palm towards Reverend Zi Long.
"Fellow Daoist Huang Mei, you are also famous in Divine Essence Star Ocean. Even if I'm from another world, I've heard that you like to devour the bodies of Ancestral Spirits. Compared to me, who is half a step into Fate Realm, fellow Daoist Huang Mei, you might not be too far away from attaining completion," Zi Long said flatly. When he looked towards Huang Mei, he cast a casual glance at the gourd on his back, then wrapped his fist in his palm to return the greeting.
"Haha, fellow Daoist Zi Long, you're too polite. Fellow Daoist, what sort of treasure have you come here for?" Huang Mei smiled and asked.
Zi Long lifted his head and looked at the sea of fire above him before he said calmly, "I don't have a fixed item that I want. I'll just have to rely on serendipity. But I'm even more curious. Besides the two of us, who will be the third person to step out of the black flames?"
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Zi Long, do you want to make a bet? "Huang Mei's expression remained the same. Once he looked at the flames above him, he asked with a smile.
"What's the bet?" Zi Long averted his gaze and looked towards Huang Mei. He had said those words just now to lure out the bet. Both of them were scheming people, and they were slightly wary of each other. They needed to find a way to solve the problem so that they could neutralize the other's influence and threat.
When they were Almighties at their Realm, it was best for them not to attack if they could.
"The bet is to give up on one chance!" Huang Mei immediately said.
"Whoever loses will have to choose to give up on one of the treasures the winner will choose … Sure!" Zi Long nodded.
"Alright, then I'll choose first. I choose … Flame Fiends' Progenitor! Fellow Daoist Zi Long, I wonder who you will choose? Is it that Young Master Wu? "Huang Mei's eyes sparkled, and he asked with a smile.
Reverend Zi Long fell into a moment of pensive silence before he suddenly said, "I choose … the cultivator on the black horse."
A focused glint appeared in Huang Mei's eyes. He did not expect that Reverend Zi Long would choose the person on the black horse. In his eyes, this person had the weakest level of cultivation. Only the black horse was slightly strange, but based on his previous performance, he was still the weakest among the group.
"Alright, then let's see who will be the third to arrive among the people we chose." Huang Mei remained silent for a moment before he lifted his head to look at the sea of fire in space. A glint appeared in his eyes, and he began waiting.
At that moment, Zhu You Cai and the old Flame Fiends were charging forward in the sea of fire in the crack in the fifth kiln. The burning power of the black flames was incredibly terrifying. Even if the two of them were Almighties and the old Flame Fiends considered himself the Emperor of Fire, they still felt a great sense of danger.
This sense of danger caused the two of them to become even faster. The expression of the white-robed teenager by their side also changed. His upper body remained in human form, but his lower body had already turned into that of a centipede. He was so fast that he was on par with Zhu You Cai and Huang Mei.
Behind them was Su Ming, who was sitting cross-legged on the Resentful Wei. The black flames brought with them a will to destroy everything as they burned in all directions. The Resentful Wei could withstand it, but for Su Ming, waves of terror from Xuan Shang and the other three rose in his heart.
The black flames made people feel as if they were in the furnace of the world. Their entire bodies were burning, as if they could completely refine them. In fact, even their cultivation bases seemed to be melting in the flames.
Su Ming's hair was burning, and the eyebrows of the body he controlled were also reduced to ashes. In fact, even the body he controlled looked as if it was about to melt.
'Since the four of you dared to set your sights on the fifth kiln, then why aren't you using all your hidden methods?!' Su Ming immediately sent a divine thought to the four of them in his heart. Xuan Shang and the other three had been planning this for many years, so it was naturally impossible for them not to have made any preparations. (To be continued.
