The appearance of the Fire Spirits instantly caused the world to turn fiery red. The scorching sea of fire, the intense heat, the brutal expressions of the Fire Spirits, and the mighty pressure due to their numbers instantly caused the hearts of all the people in the area to tremble!
The corpse of the white-robed teenager with the blood of Ancient Wu fell in the area where the crack had appeared. Almost at the moment a large number of Fire Spirits surged out and their roars shook the sky, his corpse fell deep into the crack and disappeared without a trace.
No one dared to chase after him. Even Flame Fiends' Progenitor, who longed for the white-robed teenager's corpse, had his expression instantly change when he saw the large number of Fire Spirits. It would have been fine if these Fire Spirits were normal, but among them were a dozen something gigantic Fire Spirits that were nearly as strong as Almighties in Mastery Realm. They … were the reason behind the people's expressions changing.
As roars echoed in the air, Flame Fiends' Progenitor's Nascent Divinity shrank without any hesitation. A large amount of flames instantly shot out of his Nascent Divinity and surrounded his entire body. He did not dare to move. Based on his past experiences, if there was no one around him, his method would not be of much use, but if there was someone around him, then he could avoid the Fire Spirits' slaughter.
After all, the thing spreading out of his body was also fire.
Su Ming's pupils shrank. At that moment, he was already at the end of his rope. There was no way he could dodge. The only thing he could do was to use his fastest speed to take a few steps backwards, then with a swing of his arm, he put away the heavily injured Resentful Wei into his storage bag.
Almost at the instant Su Ming completed this action, the large number of Fire Spirits that surged out split into two. One of them charged towards the body of the supreme treasure where Xuan Shang and the other three were, and the other charged towards Su Ming while roaring.
Their brutal expressions, ferocious gazes, and the endless sea of fire spreading out of their bodies made the ground look as if it was about to melt from the heat before they even closed in. These were flames that could burn the world!
During the moment of danger, Su Ming gritted his teeth and put away the Resentful Wei. Just as he was about to summon the Sand Spirit to resolve the disaster, a scene that caused his gaze to focus and a strange expression to appear on his face suddenly appeared.
The Fire Spirits charging towards Su Ming froze in midair once Su Ming put away the Resentful Wei. It was as if they had come here because of the Resentful Wei. Right then, the Resentful Wei had disappeared, and as if they could not see Su Ming, they turned their heads around and looked around. Their expressions became brutal again, and as they roared … they rushed towards Flame Fiends' Progenitor, who was covered in flames and was trying to pass himself off as real.
The pupils of Flame Fiends' Progenitor shrank, and he immediately started cursing in his heart. He had used this method many times, and every single time, he would be able to bluff his way through. But this time, he had been discovered. What caused him to feel even more aggrieved was that Su Ming was standing on the ground alone, but the Fire Spirits … did not even spare him a glance. This sort of thing caused Flame Fiends' Progenitor to feel aggrieved, but he did not have time to think about it. With a flash, he turned into a long arc and fled into the distance.
The sound of air being sliced apart rose into the air, and a large number of Fire Spirits chased after Flame Fiends' Progenitor in a frenzy.
At the same time, due to Su Ming's departure, the main soul in the body of the supreme treasure turned back into Xuan Shang. When the Fire Spirits closed in on him, his heart shuddered, and he instantly had the body of the supreme treasure rise from the ground. He turned into a long arc that swiftly fled into the distance, causing the Fire Spirits to chase after it like they had chased after Flame Fiends' Progenitor.
Su Ming was momentarily stunned, because all of this had happened in the span of a few breaths. In the beginning, the Fire Spirits had surged into the sky, but in an instant, the entire place had become empty … All the Fire Spirits had split up to chase after Flame Fiends' Progenitor and the body of the supreme treasure. Only Su Ming seemed to have been completely ignored …
Su Ming blinked. He suddenly remembered his previous guess. It seemed like the Fire Spirits in this place did not harbor any hostility towards him.
A faint glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He looked towards the crack in the ground in the distance, but he did not immediately act recklessly. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and circulated his cultivation base to quickly heal himself.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Su Ming opened his eyes. He had suppressed some of the injuries in his body, and without any hesitation, he charged towards the crack in the ground. He did not care about the white-robed teenager's corpse, but what he cared about was his storage bag, because … the catwoman was clearly in it.
If there was a reason behind him and the white-robed teenager fighting to the death, then it was because of the catwoman. Even though the catwoman did not have a great relationship with Su Ming, he had taken over everything from Dao Kong, which meant that the catwoman was also his subordinate. There was no way he would allow her to be used as food.
The crack was very big. It was dark inside, and its area was even wider. Su Ming charged into the depths of the crack at full speed. Soon after, when he stepped on the bottommost layer of the crack, his pupils shrank, and he observed his surroundings carefully.
This was a secret tunnel. However, the top part of the tunnel had shattered, allowing the Fire Spirits to rush out. Su Ming looked around him, and his gaze fell on the unmoving corpse of the white-robed teenager not too far in the distance.
When he got closer, Su Ming looked at the white-robed teenager whose eyes were still open, but there was no longer any life in them. He had died with his eyes wide open, and he let out a cold chuckle.
"You are the first Almighty I've killed, but you definitely won't be the last." Su Ming lifted his right hand and swung it. Immediately, the white-robed teenager's storage bag flew out. Once he caught it, he scanned it with his divine sense. Due to the white-robed teenager's death, the storage bag had become ownerless. With his divine sense, Su Ming immediately saw the catwoman sealed in the storage bag. She was unconscious at that moment, and there was the mark of a centipede at the center of her brows. It was slowly fading away.
As he stared at the mark at the center of the catwoman's brows in the storage bag, a glint suddenly appeared in Su Ming's eyes. Without batting an eyelid, he patted the white-robed teenager's body with his right hand and immediately put away his corpse. Only then did he get up. Almost at the instant he did so, he pointed behind him with his left index finger.
However, the divine ability formed by the gust of wind from his finger did not shoot out. Not too far behind him was a Fire Spirit that was clearly still a baby. It had its eyes wide open and was staring at Su Ming with a dumbfounded expression.
The Fire Spirit was very small and did not even reach Su Ming's knees. It crouched there, and not a single hint of malice could be seen on its face. Instead, it was filled with curiosity.
When Su Ming looked towards it, the baby Fire Spirit immediately took a few steps back, as if it had been frightened by his lifted finger. At the same time fear appeared on its face, there was also bewilderment. Its bewilderment caused it to move a little further forward. When it looked at Su Ming, its expression gradually turned gentle. There was no longer any fear in its eyes, only a comfortable look.
This comfortable look caused it to get closer to Su Ming again. When it was several dozens of feet away from him, it charged towards him in a flash. A fierce look appeared in Su Ming's eyes, but he did not dodge. He wanted to verify his guess, which was why he simply allowed the Fire Spirit to come to him. When he saw the small Fire Spirit lying on his feet with joy on its face and hugging his calf, a thought appeared in Su Ming's heart.
'Could it be that this Fire Spirit is also like the one thousand feet tall tree..?' In pensive silence, Su Ming moved, intending to leave the crack. However, the moment he moved, the baby Fire Spirit immediately let go and swiftly returned to its previous crouching spot. Once it waved at Su Ming, it turned around and disappeared into the tunnel in a flash.
A pensive look appeared in Su Ming's eyes. The small Fire Spirit's intentions were very clear. It wanted him to follow it into the tunnel. After a moment of pensive silence, Su Ming took a step forward and stepped into the tunnel. Just as he expected, once he entered, he saw a fork in the distance. The small Fire Spirit was waiting there. When it saw Su Ming following it, it immediately grinned and ran into the tunnel again.
Just like that, Su Ming followed the baby Fire Spirit and continued moving through the underground, which was filled with tunnels that made it look like a maze. Time trickled by, and about an hour later, when the Fire Spirit rushed out, Su Ming closed in, and with just one glance, he saw an incredibly large and empty underground cave!
This place was several tens of thousands of feet in size. It was dark all around, but in Su Ming's eyes, he could clearly see that the ground was filled with pits, and there were countless caves on the walls around him. If he compared the underground world to a maze, then this place was clearly the core of the maze.
In silence, Su Ming stared at a corner of the ground beneath him. There was half a skeleton leaning against the wall, and in the skeleton's hand … was a long spear!
The long spear was purple, but when Su Ming took a few closer looks, he immediately saw that the color of the long spear had turned black. It was as if it was in a state between black and purple, and it would occasionally change.
There were two old Fire Spirits around the skeleton. They were clearly very old, and at that moment, they were sitting cross-legged like cultivators. Between them was a chessboard, and there were some chess pieces on it. The two Fire Spirits were clearly playing chess!
At that moment, the baby Fire Spirit was crouching by the chessboard and waving at Su Ming.
A focused glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. In silence, he moved. Since he was already here, he might as well see what was going on. When Su Ming closed in on the chessboard where the two old Fire Spirits were, he first cast his gaze on them. They did not seem to have noticed Su Ming's arrival. They did not even lift their heads, only thinking about the placement of the chess pieces on the chessboard.
This scene was incredibly bizarre. In silence, Su Ming's gaze fell on the chessboard.
This was a style of chess he had never seen before. There were only ten chess pieces on the chessboard, and five of them were gray, four were white, and only one was black.
No matter how he looked at it, the black chess piece gave off a feeling that it had appeared out of nowhere. It was filled with a feeling of disharmony. After all, nine was the extreme, but due to the addition of black, the entire chessboard looked as if it contained a powerful killing intent.
The four white chess pieces looked as if they were surrounding and attacking the black chess piece to kill it so that the chessboard would appear harmonious.
Su Ming stared at the chessboard. His gaze fell on the black chess piece, and he frowned.
Time trickled by. After a moment, the old Fire Spirit to the right of the chessboard let out a sigh filled with age. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com and vote for me. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
