The Black Tortoise explained, "Miracles are usually hidden in some secluded corner, isolated by some sort of divine restriction or seal. There's no aura at all. If you want to go, you can only search slowly in the ninth forbidden area."
"Search slowly?" Wutian frowned and did not continue speaking, following behind the Black Tortoise in deep thought.
The north was filled with mountains that were incomparably steep and extended to the ends of the world.
The Black Tortoise's spirit consciousness extended and enveloped the entire mountain range, searching every single corner. Four hours later, they searched everywhere but to no avail.
"Lad, are you sure that the aura came from this mountain range?" The Black Tortoise asked.
"To be honest, I don't dare to be sure now." Wutian shrugged his shoulders. In the past two hours, he had not sensed even the slightest bit of aura, which made him begin to think that it might have been an illusion.
"Given your current cultivation, it's definitely impossible for you to be hallucinating. Let's search carefully again. If there's still nothing, we'll look for miracles and the place where the emperor was sealed," The Black Tortoise said after thinking for a moment, seemingly indignant.
Wutian's gaze was strange. Why was this old fellow so stubborn?
Therefore, the two of them began searching again.
However, neither of them knew that there was another world within an inconspicuous short mountain in the mountain range.
It was a secret chamber that was around ten thousand feet wide. In the middle of the secret chamber sat a woman in red with a lotus position. Beside her was a ferocious beast with a pair of wings on its back, staring ahead with a ferocious gaze.
The woman and beast were none other than Zhao Qing and the Green Pterosaur!
A hundred feet away from them, where the Green Pterosaur was looking, there were two ferocious beasts. One of them was a nine-headed Fire Jiao and the other was a fiery-red bull!
If Wutian was here, he would definitely be shocked – weren't those the Fire Jiao and the Barbarian Fire Bull that was killed by the White Tiger evil spirit?
The two ancient remnant beasts were sprawled on the ground with shriveled expressions and dull eyes. Their bodies were filled with injuries of various sizes and blood flowed continuously – it was a terrifying sight!
Moreover, under the steaming hot blood, there were dried bloodstains!
Clearly, the scars on their bodies had always been there!
Or, there was another possibility, and that was that after their injuries had healed, someone had used a sharp weapon to reopen their wounds.
Looking at the struggling Fire Jiao and Barbaric Fire Bull, Zhao Qing said with disdain, "Don't put up a pointless struggle. With the Concealment Pearl, not to mention Wutian, even if the Eastern Region's Ice Demon Master came, he wouldn't be able to sense your auras. You'd better obediently become my Spirit Pet, and I promise to let you live."
The Barbarian Fire Bull roared, "Who do you think you are? You want us to be your spirit pet? Come at me if you want to kill me! If I frown, I'm not an ancient remnant beast! "
At the same time, the Fire Jiao struggled to move its head and looked at the red bead above its head. Its nine pairs of eyes were filled with rage and killing intent, but more than that, there was helplessness.
It was because of this bead that his and the Barbarian Fire Bull's auras were isolated.
Previously, when he sensed Wutian's aura in the ninth forbidden area, he suddenly went on a rampage, using the remaining fire energy in his body to launch a full-powered attack. Only then did a wisp of his aura break through the Concealment Pearl's seal and reach the outside of the secret room, allowing Wutian to sense it.
However, it was quickly suppressed by Zhao Qing, and with a wave of his hand, he dealt a heavy blow to the Fire Jiao and the Barbarian Fire Bull.
When the Barbarian Fire Bull finished roaring, the Fire Jiao looked away and said to Zhao Qing, "Don't think that I don't know that even if we submit to you, we won't have a good ending. Your goal isn't us, but the Azure Dragon Bone Claw on me."
"Since you already know, then all the more reason to hand it over obediently. Perhaps we'll spare your lives," the Azure Pterosaur said, its eyes filled with unconcealable desire.
Zhao Qing extended his hand and stopped the restless Azure Pterosaur. He smiled at the Fire Jiao, "Actually, you're wrong. You're far more valuable than the Azure Pterosaur. How could I bear to kill you? As long as you agree to submit, not only will I focus on nurturing you, but I'll also give you the Azure Dragon's horn and tail bone. "
"You …"
The Azure Pterosaur's eyes narrowed when he heard that. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Qing said through telepathy, "Don't talk too much. This is just a ploy to trick them. Once we obtain the Azure Dragon's bone claws, I'll hand the Fire Jiao over to you."
"I see."
The Azure Pterosaur came to a realization and said in a sinister voice, "The power of the Fire Jiao's bloodline will definitely help me achieve atavism and successfully transform into the Azure Dragon Divine Beast. Then, after we collect all of the Azure Dragon's bones and obtain his inheritance, we'll have the strength to fight against Li Tian."
Zhang Ting's eyes flashed with a cold light. He sneered, "Li Tian thinks that he can fool everyone. In fact, he doesn't know that I've already discovered his plot. It's just that the pseudo-god is suppressed by the stone tablet and can't report it to him."
While Zhang Ting and the Azure Pterosaur were communicating through telepathy, the Barbarian Fire Bull and the Fire Jiao were also secretly communicating.
The Barbarian Fire Bull said through telepathy, "Big brother, if I detonate my primordial spirit, I'll definitely be able to tear apart the seal of the Concealment Bead and let Wutian sense it. Once we're free, you must cut Zhao Qing and the Azure Pterosaur into pieces to avenge me!"
The Fire Jiao's expression changed when he heard this. He hurriedly replied, "Second brother, you can't …"
"Big brother, I've made up my mind. Don't say anything more. Besides, Wutian is gradually getting farther away. If I don't detonate myself, both of us will die here. I can die, but you can't!"
The Barbarian Fire Bull's eyes flashed with determination. He then smiled and said, "Big brother, thank you for taking care of me all these years. If there's an afterlife, I'll definitely recognize you as my big brother again."
"Second brother …"
The Fire Jiao roared and used all of his strength to get up with difficulty.
However, the Barbarian Fire Bull did not give the Fire Jiao any chance to stop him. As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly expanded and a terrifying aura shot up like a volcanic eruption!
Zhao Qing and the Azure Pterosaur were also shocked. They hurriedly used their own methods to suppress the Barbarian Fire Bull.
However, if a person was determined to detonate himself, how could they stop him without absolute strength?
"Big brother, goodbye forever!"
The Barbaric Flaming Bull roared while two bowl-sized drops of tears flowed from its enormous eyes. After that, its body suddenly exploded with a bang, and then a strand of destructive energy swept out violently and instantly drowned the entire room!
Zhao Qing and the Azure Pterosaur saw that the situation was not good. They did not even collect the Invisibility Bead and immediately escaped. Even so, they were still swept by a strand of energy. Their bodies instantly cracked and blood splattered everywhere!
However, in the face of such a fatal destructive force, the Fire Jiao did not escape. On one hand, he did not have the strength to escape. On the other hand, he did not want to escape. He wanted to see his brother's death with his own eyes.
His nine pairs of eyes were opened angrily. He allowed the destructive force to destroy his body. His skin and flesh were torn open, and his flesh and blood splattered everywhere. He did not even blink once. It was as if he did not know pain. There was only sorrow and grief in his eyes!
With a boom, the secret chamber collapsed. The Invisibility Bead shattered. Dust and gravel rolled down and buried the Fire Jiao deep inside. At the same time, it also buried the Barbarian Fire Bull, whose body and soul had been destroyed!
"Second brother …"
A miserable roar came from the ground of the mountain range and echoed between heaven and earth. It was filled with sorrow and grief that could not be dissipated!
In the distance, at the edge of the mountain range, Wutian, who was about to leave, immediately stopped when the Barbarian Fire Bull's self-destruction crushed the Invisibility Bead. He looked back and his eyebrows were full of shock.
When he heard the roar of the Fire Jiao, his expression changed abruptly. Without hesitation, he activated the Defying Territory and used his lightning speed to appear in the sky above the center of the explosion. The Black Tortoise followed closely behind.
Between heaven and earth, two forces reverberated. One was the aftermath of the Barbarian Fire Bull's self-destruction. The other was the tear-inducing sorrow of the Fire Jiao.
"It really is the Fire Jiao!" Wutian's spirits were lifted. He grabbed at the air and a piece of land floated up. A bloody figure immediately appeared in his line of sight.
"What!"
When he saw the appearance of the Fire Jiao, Wutian was instantly enraged. He waved his hand with all his might. The floating piece of land, accompanied by the sound of wind and thunder, flew across the sky and disappeared on the other side of the mountain range.
Whoosh!
Wutian's figure flashed and landed in front of the Fire Jiao. He asked anxiously, "What's going on?"
"Quick … Quick … Don't let … Green Winged Dragon … Zhao Qing escape …"
The Fire Jiao stuttered these words and fell to the ground. Wutian was shocked. He hurriedly checked the status of the Fire Jiao. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he found that the Fire Jiao had only fainted.
However, his gaze became incomparably cold!
"Zhao Qing, Green Winged Dragon, this time you will definitely die …"
Wutian's killing intent soared. He looked up at the Black Tortoise and pleaded, "Senior, can you do this junior a favor?"
The Black Tortoise said, "Speak!"
Wutian said coldly, "Help me capture Zhao Qing and Green Winged Dragon. Remember, I want them alive!"
"The two of them often stay in the Western Region. I know them. Don't worry, they won't be able to escape." After saying that, the Black Tortoise shattered the void and disappeared.
Retracting his gaze, Wutian looked at the miserable and almost deformed Fire Jiao. His eyes were a little wet as he muttered to himself, "Sorry, I'm late."
Then, he took out a leaf from the Celestial Realm and placed it in the Fire Jiao's mouth.
The divine essence of the Celestial Medicine was as boundless as the sea. The Fire Jiao's physical body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Fire Jiao's red scales were also rapidly regenerating. After a dozen breaths, his eyelids moved, showing signs of waking up.
Boom!
Before he woke up, his cultivation had broken through first. A powerful aura rushed out of his body. Caught off guard, even Wutian staggered and was pushed back by the impact.
"The peak of the Celestial Being Stage!" Wutian was shocked and felt that it was unbelievable.
From the time they met until now, except for the time at the Astral Fire Peak, the two had never met face to face. Therefore, in Wutian's heart, the strength of the Fire Jiao had always been a mystery. He had estimated the Fire Jiao's cultivation more than once. He estimated that the highest level of the Fire Jiao was not beyond the Half-Celestial Being Stage.
Unexpectedly, the aura that erupted at this moment was far beyond his expectations. It was even stronger than his ancestor, the Flood Dragon Emperor, and his father, the Demon Emperor Shun Tian!
How did he do it?
