At that moment, there were no longer nearly a hundred people outside the mouth of the volcano, but only around seventy to eighty. All of them had pale faces, and most of them were injured as they surrounded the mouth of the volcano.
The purple-robed man, Yue Hong Bang, stood at the edge of the mouth of the volcano. His face was just as pale, and he would occasionally cough, as if there was blood in his mouth. There were only four people left from the seven people behind him, and the thin old man was one of them.
It was the same old man from more than three months ago. Behind him, there were only ten people left, and each of them was carrying a corpse. Among the corpses, there were Fellow Daoists of the past, as well as strangers.
As the old man's words reverberated in the air, a roar came from within the volcano, and the gigantic ferocious beast with the head of a phoenix, which was one hundred feet wide, flew out from within the volcano and stared at the cultivators around it coldly.
Once the old man threw out the corpses respectfully, the ferocious beast with the head of a phoenix crashed into them and scattered them, just as it usually did. It absorbed the light green aura within the corpses and coughed out an equal amount of crystals.
When the number of corpses it threw out reached nearly forty something, the slightly smaller ferocious beast with the head of a phoenix flew up with a roar and started crashing into and devouring the corpses.
Once it devoured twenty something corpses, it stopped and instead lowered its head to look at the bottom of the volcano. The gigantic ferocious beast with the head of a phoenix also looked down and let out a roar.
There was no malice in that roar. Instead, it sounded as if it was urging them to hurry up.
This scene stunned the people around them. The cultivators who were about to throw out the corpses also froze in their movements.
Right before the gazes of the two ferocious beasts and the seventy to eighty people around them, Su Ming slowly rose into the air from the mouth of the volcano. His expression was calm, and he did not move quickly, but once he appeared, an uproar that could not be controlled immediately broke out from the mouths of the seventy to eighty people around him.
"Who … Who is that?!"
"There's actually someone in the volcano where the Crimson Python Phoenix resides? That person …"
"The Crimson Python Phoenix has always been xenophobic and extremely ferocious. How could it possibly allow humans to exist in its cave abode!?"
An uproar reverberated in the air. The seventy to eighty people sucked in a sharp breath and retreated without any hesitation. The purple-robed Yue Hong Bang looked at Su Ming flying out of the volcano, and his eyes went wide. Su Ming's body might have turned from an illusory aura of death into flesh and blood, but he still looked the same as before. Yue Hong Bang could tell with just one glance that he was the person he had picked up three months ago.
At this moment, the shock in his heart could be said to be the most intense among the seventy or eighty people. His face was filled with disbelief as he staggered back a few steps. He suddenly looked at the skinny old man beside him.
Three months ago, it was this old man who had personally taken the person who had not died and thrown him into the volcano. At that moment, the skinny old man's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. Shock and disbelief filled his face, and even his breathing had stopped for an instant.
As the crowd retreated in shock, the gigantic ferocious beast with the phoenix's head opened its mouth wide and let out a roar that could shake hearts, causing the people in the area to stop moving. However, the shock on their faces could not be hidden no matter what.
This sort of thing had surpassed their imaginations.
Su Ming's expression was calm. Once he rose into the air, he walked towards the gigantic Crimson Python Phoenix. He stood on its head and looked at the crowd beneath him coldly.
The gigantic ferocious beast did not avoid him, but simply allowed him to stand on its head. To it, Su Ming's presence was that of its familiar son.
"Throw the corpse away," Su Ming said flatly.
Once he said those words, the seventy to eighty people in the area immediately fell silent. Their eyes sparkled as they looked at Su Ming, but it was clear that terror was filling their eyes.
This scene was simply too inconceivable. The only explanation for it was that an almost identical thought had appeared in most of their minds at that moment.
However, no one took the initiative to say it. The cultivator who had seized the corpse just now gritted his teeth and threw it towards Su Ming.
The corpse drew a long arc in the air and charged towards Su Ming. At the instant it closed in on him, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. He lifted his right hand and clenched his fist before throwing a punch at the corpse.
At the instant his fist came into contact with the corpse, understanding appeared in Su Ming's eyes. The corpse let out a bang, but there was no blood, and neither were there any body parts. Instead, it disintegrated and turned into ashes that disappeared into the air.
Wisps of light green aura spread out, but Su Ming did not absorb them. The smaller Crimson Python Phoenix by his side blinked, then sucked in a deep breath and sucked in the light green aura.
Su Ming lowered his head and looked at his fist. During that instant just now, he had clearly sensed the strange power of law spreading out from his body. It was a strange power that could perfectly disintegrate all matter.
"What part of the Barren Lands of Divine Essence is this?" Su Ming lifted his head and asked coldly while standing on the Crimson Python Phoenix's head. Not a single hint of emotion could be heard in his voice, and it was so cold that the temperature in the area seemed to have instantly plummeted.
That aloof voice immediately caused the expressions of the people in the area to become even more terrified. At that moment, the guess in their minds became even more certain.
Yue Hong Bang's heart trembled. He remembered that not only had this person not died when the aura of death had entered his body three months ago, he had even managed to remain conscious. His aloof gaze had also caused anguish to instantly rise in his heart.
'He managed to not die when the aura of death entered his body, and he even managed to subdue a powerful ferocious beast like the Crimson Python Phoenix. Based on his words, it's clear that he's not from this place, and there's a mercilessness and aloofness in his words that comes from deep within his bones. Could it be that this person really came from … '
The thin old man by his side shuddered slightly, a telling sign that he had thought of something terrifying.
'Only those who have killed to a monstrous degree can speak in such a manner that there is not a single hint of emotion in their words. They are as aloof as ice, and only these people who are indifferent to life and death can move through the galaxy without fear … and only they can subdue the Crimson Python Phoenix! ' The white-haired old man in the lead felt his heart tremble. He might have been suspicious, but that suspicion immediately disappeared under the Crimson Python Phoenix's gaze. He sucked in a deep breath and wrapped his fist in his palm to bow towards Su Ming.
"This is Crimson Flame Planet, the edge of the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. With the speed of an Almighty in the Third Step, it would take about thirty years to travel from the galaxy of the True World to Black Ink Planet. It would take two hundred years to travel from here to the Barren Lands of Divine Essence to Black Ink Planet.
"Sir, did you … come from outer space?" The old man's expression was incredibly respectful, and there was even a hint of respect in his final sentence. Su Ming's level of cultivation might not be strong in his eyes, but to not waste their power in the Barren Lands of Divine Essence, there were plenty of people who would usually seal up their cultivation bases to prevent themselves from wasting too much of their power.
Su Ming fell into a moment of pensive silence before he asked languidly, "Is there anything that grows in Crimson Flame Planet?"
"There's nothing here that grows in abundance. The only thing that grows in abundance is the Crimson Flame Grass that grows in fire regions …" the old man quickly answered.
"How many powerful warriors of the Third Step are there here?" Su Ming suddenly asked.
