The Kalor Tribe had been burned beyond recognition. The ground had been charred black by the flames, and pitch-black corpses could be seen scattered in the surroundings from time to time.
From the traces, the Kalor Tribe had been wiped out for quite a few days already. The ruins were deathly silent, without any signs of life. The autumn wind was bleak, making the ashes on the ground dance in the wind. It was a rather desolate sight.
The Ziying sword flickered with violet light. It was enveloped by a dense layer of violet sword Qi. Only a ball of violet light could be seen from the outside. It slowly descended under Jianchen's control, hovering twenty meters above the ground.
Jianchen gently hugged Huang Luan as he stood on the Ziying sword. He slowly scanned the ruins of the Kalor Tribe, remaining silent for quite some time. He could still clearly remember how bustling this place had been when he had given Caia the cultivation method of the Eight Wastelands. The entire tribe had been bustling with activity, but now, the bustling and powerful tribe was nowhere to be seen. It had been reduced to desolate ruins.
"Sigh." A while later, Jianchen let out a long sigh. He had given Caia the cultivation method of the Eight Wastelands to thank Caia for his assistance back then, and he also hoped to find a successor for the Eight Wastelands so that Caia could become the second Eight Wastelands emperor. But now …
"I wonder if Caia is still alive?" Jianchen thought. He did not feel any sorrow. This was a world where the strong preyed on the weak. A tragedy like the one that had befallen Caia's tribe happened frequently, both in the sea realm and on the Tian Yuan Continent.
"Chen, do you have any friends here?" Huang Luan glanced around before turning her head to Jianchen.
Jianchen said, "This used to be the home of a friend, but I didn't expect this tribe to have been attacked. I don't know if my friend is still alive." After that, Jianchen's Divine Sense swept out with all his might, and it enveloped an area of 150,000km as he started to search with all his might. However, he wasn't able to find Caia in the end.
"Let's go!" Jianchen did not continue to search. He left with Huang Luan and flew towards the Tianyuan Continent.
Jianchen flew with Huang Luan in the coastal region of the Tian Yuan Continent. In the end, they arrived at the Fire Sang Kingdom, one of the eight great kingdoms. They directly entered the royal palace.
The Huosang Kingdom was no weaker than the Qin Empire. It also had four Saint Kings, and they were the four Imperial Protector of the Huosang Kingdom.
Jianchen's sudden arrival caused a huge commotion in the royal palace. The king and the four Imperial Protector personally came out to receive him. Normally, they acted in fear and trepidation before Jianchen. They spoke politely, not even daring to breathe too loudly.
Jianchen directly stated his intentions. He wanted to use the Space Gate of the Huosang Kingdom to return to Flame City. Although he had already learned the Azulet swords and could fly very quickly, the coastal region was several million kilometers away from Flame City. Using a Space Gate would obviously be much faster than flying on a sword.
The king and the four Imperial Protector dared not disobey Jianchen's request. They even personally opened the Space Gate for Jianchen and politely sent Jianchen off.
The king and the four Imperial Protector immediately let out a sigh of relief when Jianchen and Huang Luan vanished through the Space Gate. Jianchen did not give off any presence, but the five of them felt a mountainous pressure when they stood before Jianchen. This was psychological pressure.
"Imperial Protector, is Jianchen really the Holy Emperor? If he's the Holy Emperor, why does he need to use a Space Gate? "The king wiped the sweat off his forehead as he asked the four Imperial Protector. The four Imperial Protector were unable to answer.
Only a while later did one of them answer with certainty, "I have an old friend who cultivates in the volcanoes of the western extremities all year round. I've received concrete news from him that Jianchen has indeed become a Holy Emperor. Coupled with the two swords nurtured by the world, the Holy Emperor is no longer Jianchen's opponent. Back then, Jianchen defeated the two Holy Emperors of the magical beasts in a single move. The Holy Emperor of the humans, the path lord of carnal desires, directly fled. The current Jianchen is no longer a regular Holy Emperor. As for why he wants to use a Space Gate to return to Flame City, I have no idea either. "
The king of the Fire Mulberry Kingdom gasped. He had defeated two Saint Emperors in a single move. He was so shocked that his heart had almost jumped out of his chest.
However, he soon thought about how he had just come into close contact with such a supreme expert, which made him excited. He immediately ordered, "Immediately spread the news that the Holy Emperor Jianchen has just arrived at the imperial palace of our kingdom …" The king immediately ordered people to spread the news. Jianchen had basically become the greatest Holy Emperor on the Tian Yuan Continent now. It was a great honor for the kingdom to have someone like that visit. It could increase their status and prestige.
Twenty kilometers away from Raging Flame City, the space there began to distort violently. In the end, it cracked open and formed a multicolored spatial door.
After Jianchen and Huang Luan stepped through the Space Gate, it began to slowly vanish as well. Very soon, everything returned to normal.
Jianchen hovered ten meters above the ground with his Azulet swords on his back as he gazed at the city in the distance. The walls of Flame City before him were completely black, like a huge beast that crouched there silently. It gave off a sense of dominance and dignity.
Above the city, a golden barrier spread out, enveloping the entire city. Only by passing through the city walls could one enter.
Jianchen's eyes landed on the golden barrier, and his eyes suddenly narrowed. His gaze sharpened in a single moment, like two swords being unsheathed. They shone with resplendent light.
This was because the ripples of energy from the golden barrier actually shocked him. The energy was just too powerful, having completely surpassed the Holy Emperor's.
"An Origin realm expert? Aside from protector Shui and Xiao Ling of the arctic Ice Goddess Hall, who else has reached such a level of cultivation on the Tian Yuan Continent? And why would they cast down such a powerful barrier to protect the city? "Jianchen was filled with doubt. He then directly flew toward the city with Huang Luan in his arms.
At this moment, in the manor of Raging Flame City, Bi Lian and Sima You Yue were sitting around a table. They were personally teaching a chubby little boy who looked to be only three or four years old how to write.
The little boy was very cute. He wore a golden robe and was bald. His entire body was golden, and there was a faint golden light flowing under his skin. He looked like a person made of gold. His big eyes were incomparably bright, flashing with an innocent light. He was practicing calligraphy with a serious expression.
"Xiao Jin, tell me, what is this word?" You Yue held a piece of paper in her hand as she smiled at the boy.
"Heavens," the little boy replied in a childish voice, sounding a little childish.
"What about this?" Bi Lian also held a piece of paper with words on it as she asked the boy.
"Emperor," the boy answered accurately.
"Xiao Jin sure is smart. He basically has a photographic memory. Before long, he'll be able to learn everything," Bi Lian giggled. Her gaze towards the boy was filled with love.
At this moment, Bi Hai walked in from outside. He pulled Xiao Jin outside and chuckled, "Xiao Jin, you'll have plenty of time to learn how to write in the future. Come with me first. I'll teach you a new ability, like this barrier. Yep, it's indeed very powerful, but there are still many flaws. For example, the protective barrier of Mercenary City has completely seeped its energy into the ground, making it as tough as steel. Come, come with me. I'll teach you a new use for energy."
The boy did not resist. He obediently allowed Bi Hai to take him outside. Only You Yue and Bi Lian grumbled from behind.
"What do you know? You'll have plenty of time after you learn how to read. Right now, the most important matter is to make Flame City impregnable. At the same time, Xiao Jin can become more familiar with the use of energy," Bi Hai said righteously. He ignored the two girls' objections and left with Xiao Jin.
