Three days later, Wutian and Lin Fan recovered from their injuries and set off on their journey once again.
This time, Wutian was confident that they could reach the peak.
Because three days ago, he had observed some clues. Every time the demonic beasts appeared, there was a certain pattern.
The first time, the Crimson Snake King attacked them not long after they climbed up the stone stairs.
The second time, the Blazing Sparrow Hawk appeared in the middle of the Astral Fire Peak.
The third time, the Barbaric Flaming Bull swooped down from the peak when they were one-third of the way up the stone stairs.
This was definitely not a coincidence.
In other words, this was more like a test. If they wanted to reach the peak, they had to pass through many obstacles.
Wutian also had absolute confidence that there would be more demonic beasts after they reached the peak.
If they lost, they would return to the ground.
If they won, they would stay on the peak and be baptized by the astral fire.
Wutian naturally told Han Tian about this idea. Of course, he did not believe it and even looked down on it. How could demonic beasts know how to share?
In the end, the two of them spent more than half a day and finally reached the peak of the Astral Fire Peak. Wutian's words were also fully confirmed.
"Awesome! You guessed it right, but I'm afraid there's going to be a big battle next! "Han Tian narrowed his eyes and stared ahead.
The peak was very vast, with a radius of a few hundred miles. In the center, a magma-like fire pillar shot up from the ground. It was actually more than ten feet in diameter. Tongues of fire flickered and fire rained down. A terrifying heat wave rolled over!
Around the fire pillar, there were all kinds of demonic beasts. They were as small as grains of rice and as big as hills. There were at least a few hundred of them, and their terrifying auras were extremely shocking!
They were using the astral fire to temper their bodies.
Without exception, every one of them was a Son of Heaven. Even the dozens of them at the front had already broken through to the Extreme Realm. Their auras were much stronger than the other demonic beasts. The Barbaric Flaming Bull was among them, and it was at the front.
After the battle three days ago, it was covered in injuries. Although its blood had dried up, its injuries had not healed. Its head drooped weakly. Obviously, that battle had caused great damage to it.
When it saw Wutian and his companion climb to the top of the mountain, its pupils constricted, and there was a trace of fear in its eyes.
Under the influence of the spell, the Monster Beasts in this primitive forest no longer paid attention to cultivation and realm. Instead, they paid attention to the quality of their bodies. In this place, the body and strength were king!
There seemed to be some sort of discipline here. The strong stood at the front while the weak stood at the back. There was no killing, and everyone got along peacefully.
Roar!
The Demonic Beast at the very front roared, its voice like a great bell, resounding through the heavens and earth!
This was a ferocious and terrifying Archaic Descendant. Its body was as large as a mountain, and it was fifty to sixty zhang tall. It circled around on the ground, and it had three giant heads. The eyes on each head were as large as copper bells, and within them, there was a burning flame.
Its body was like a snake's, and its diameter could reach up to six meters. Its surface was covered with scales the size of a dustpan. They were oval-shaped like fish scales, and their radiance was dazzling and resplendent. The most peculiar thing was that its head was very similar to the legendary Nine-Headed Flood Dragon. On both sides of each head, there was a long beard.
Moreover, on the head in the middle, there was a horn that was three feet long. It had a sharp and hard texture, and it flickered with endless radiance!
"The Three-Headed Fire Jiao!"
Wutian and the other person frowned at the same time. This Archaic Descendant was the Three-Headed Fire Jiao, and it had the blood of the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon. Moreover, looking at the horn on its head, it was a sign of its bloodline returning to its ancestral roots.
Han Tian said seriously, "It is very strong. Even if the two of us work together, I'm afraid it will be difficult to defeat it. I don't dare to imagine how strong this beast would be if it wasn't suppressed by the spell."
Rumble …
The Three-Headed Fire Jiao looked at the two of them. Its bell-sized eyes shot out six rays of fire, and its aura was shocking!
Its body was too large, and it was like an ancient chariot rolling over. The Monster Beasts in the surroundings were respectful and fearful, and they all quickly retreated, opening up a path for it to pass through.
Obviously, the Three-Headed Fire Jiao was the king of this place.
The two of them did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. They were ready, and they were on guard!
The Fire Jiao stopped ten feet away. Its three pairs of fiery red eyes were threatening.
"Humans, take this move. If you are not defeated, I will allow you to stay."
Following that, a voice full of energy rang out in Wutian and the other person's mind.
"Telepathy!"
Telepathy meant that when two people were together, there was no need to speak. Instead, they directly transmitted their voice into the other person's heart. The two of them were shocked. The Fire Jiao actually knew telepathy. This also meant that its cultivation had reached the Hundred Dynasties Stage!
Because only powerhouses above the Hundred Dynasties Stage had this ability.
"Do you dare or not? If not, get down immediately." The Fire Jiao said, and there was a trace of impatience.
Wutian and the other person looked at each other, and said in unison, "Why not!"
Then, Han Tian added, "On the contrary, if we defeat you, can we take away the origin of the astral fire?"
The two of them were extraordinarily courageous and had even seen a true primordial vicious beast before. Moreover, they had even plucked a tooth from the tiger's mouth and seized its innate spiritual embryo. So why wouldn't they dare when facing a descendant whose cultivation was suppressed by the restrictions?
Moreover, they had to defeat the Fire Jiao and take away the origin of the astral fire.
When the Fire Jiao heard this, a trace of surprise appeared in its eyes. It stared at the two for a while and said in a deep voice, "Let's not talk about whether you can defeat me. Even if you can defeat me, I will not let you take away the origin of the astral fire."
Wutian asked doubtfully, "Why is that?"
"The origin of the astral fire is a treasure of fire. Not only can it increase the affinity of the fire element, but it also has an excellent effect on tempering the body. This item is very important to this forest and is regarded as a sacred item. As the king of the beasts here, I have the obligation to protect the origin of the astral fire. I cannot let it be lost." The Fire Jiao said.
Han Tian smiled and said, "What if we snatch it?"
"Haha, human, do you think you have the qualifications? Do you have the strength? There were once two people wearing the same clothes as you who tried to snatch it. In the end, they were seriously injured and fled. We chased them for thousands of miles. "The Fire Jiao mocked.
Wutian frowned. The two people mentioned by the Fire Jiao were definitely the Fire Cicadas and Luo Shenzi. No wonder they were so cautious when it came to the depths of the forest. It turned out that they had suffered a great loss here.
Wutian had a plan in his mind. He nodded and said, "Okay, we will take one move from you. If you are defeated by us in one move, I request to be at the front."
"Human, I have to say that you are very arrogant. You are even more arrogant than the two people from five years ago. However, I like it. As long as you have the ability, let alone defeating me, as long as you can make me retreat an inch, it will be your win." The Fire Jiao was full of arrogance.
Han Tian wanted to speak, but Wutian glared at him, hinting him not to worry. He knew what he was doing.
Wutian believed that the Fire Cicadas and Luo Shenzi had suffered a great loss five years ago. With their strong personalities, they would definitely not let this matter go. Five years later, they would definitely come back to regain their face.
Moreover, after five years, their cultivations had undergone earth-shaking changes. They were several times stronger than they were in the past. At that time, if the four of them joined forces, or if they fought on their own, with the addition of the other fifty people, they might be able to seize the astral fire origin.
But at this time, he and Han Tian had to face several hundred Sons of Heaven. The chances of them winning were miniscule!
Wutian said, "Then it's a deal. Please!"
As his voice fell, the two of them prepared themselves and prepared to take precautions.
The Fire Jiao had the bloodline of the Nine-Headed Flood Dragon and had already returned to its ancestral state by a third. It was two to three times stronger than the Barbaric Fire Bull and was definitely a formidable opponent. If they underestimated it, they would definitely lose, and it would be a miserable defeat!
"Ao!"
The Fire Jiao roared like a dragon. It shook the entire area and caused all the beasts to tremble and submit!
With a loud boom, flames broke out from its body and shot up into the sky like a giant pillar that supported the heavens. In an instant, the wind blew and the clouds surged. The clouds were scattered and a giant hole appeared.
Like an ancient Demon King had come into being, an invincible aura shrouded the entire area! Suddenly, the mountain began to shake as if there was an earthquake. Countless large boulders fell and rumbled incessantly. Dust covered the sky and covered the sun, almost spreading to the summit.
Just the aura it released had such a terrifying destructive force. The Fire Jiao's strength had reached the peak. Wutian and Luo Shenzi became even more dignified.
The ten beasts retreated and hid 50 miles away. Looking at the mountain like Fire Jiao, their eyes were full of awe. But when they looked at Wutian and Luo Shenzi, they were full of disdain.
"Boom!"
A gigantic tail swept across the sky. It was covered in dense scales and blazing flames. A terrifying aura swept out in all directions. The scarlet rocks that had been refined by the astral fire for countless years were incomparably hard. However, they broke apart inch by inch and shot out in all directions. This kind of power was absolutely terrifying!
The wind howled. The giant tail carried with it an unparalleled amount of power. Like a mountain, it broke through the sky. Its power was heavy and ferocious. Even the void was shattered. Grey air rushed out!
The two of them looked at each other and nodded. Han Tian dashed out. The power of the earth emerged. Yellow Profound Qi circled around his body and formed a sturdy armor. It shone brightly and had a texture that was as sturdy as a boulder!
"Form!"
Han Tian shouted. When he opened his eyes, two beams of light shot out. The power of the earth rushed out of his body like a tidal wave. Then, he pointed at the void. The power of the earth surged and condensed into two giant hands.
The two giant hands were too big. They were almost comparable to the Fire Jiao's huge body!
With a boom, the giant hand grabbed the tail. Sparks flew in all directions, and the earth shook. However, the giant tail only paused for a moment before the giant hand quickly dissipated, turning into earth elemental energy that drifted between heaven and earth.
"Pu!"
Han Tian spat out blood. His face turned pale and his armor cracked inch by inch. He was shocked. The power of this' Dominating the World 'move was enough to kill a Channel Opening Stage cultivator. But he did not expect it to be defeated so easily by the Fire Jiao!
"Wu …"
The wind howled. The giant tail was extremely sturdy and strong. It broke through the power of the earth and swept towards Luo Shenzi.
"Thick Earth Mountain River!"
Han Tian roared in anger. The scattered power of earth swirled around him, gathering together and fusing with each other. Finally, a small mountain ten zhang in size appeared before his eyes.
This place was filled with yellow air. A powerful aura spread out in all directions!
"Rumble!"
This small mountain shone brightly and actually blocked the Fire Jiao's giant tail. But it only lasted for a few breaths of time before it exploded. The sound of the explosion reverberated in the air above the primitive forest.
