Sitting on Pan-Pan's back, Yan Zhaoge gazed into the distance, yet his gaze seemed unfocused.
Concentrating, he unceasingly felt the changes and movements of the circulation of the earth veins at the bottom of the sea, earnestly identifying the source of the changes in the Fire Pith Veins.
Unlike earlier when all the nodes had been detonated at the same time, the true core of the network of fire veins set up by the Flame Devils had been concealed.
Now, only that single node had been destroyed, being maintained and restored by the fire network as a whole.
Traces instantly appeared in the circulation of the fire network, allowing Yan Zhaoge to trace its source and find its core.
The region of sea where the vortex of fire and ice had arisen earlier had already been left far behind by Yan Zhaoge.
However, Yan Zhaoge could feel that the scene of the end of the world erupting with underground fire had already returned there, the roiling jade sea having transformed into a boundless sea of flames.
The abnormalities had already continued for many days. The seawater of the Outer East Sea had already evaporated in great amounts. If not for the unceasing replenishment of the surrounding sea, the vast Outer East Sea would probably have already been burnt dry by the underground fire.
The strange changes of nature had also caused the current weather over the sea to become extremely chaotic.
Hurricanes, torrential rains, earthquakes and tsunamis were already a common occurrence.
With such a large-scale abnormality occurring with the earth veins of the Outer East Sea, even the spiritual qi flow of the entire sea and the Eight Extremities World was being affected.
If this continued for a long time, the effects would be even more profound, hard to predict.
For the Flame Devils who only knew destruction and plunder, they didn't really care about what the world before them had become.
However, for the martial practitioners of the Eight Extremities World who had been born and raised here, the abnormalities in the spiritual qi flow were undoubtedly a massive calamity.
The usually carefree Ah Hu was now filled with worry, "Young Master, there should probably be Flame Devil experts guarding the core, right?"
Yan Zhaoge stared ahead as he said, "It is not impossible."
Sitting on Pan-Pan's back, the two proceeded forward.
The routes connecting the various nodes were still stable, forming a rather long and narrow safe zone. The underwater mountain range was silent, no underground fire erupting.
And on the left and right sides of this long and narrow path, blazing fire could be seen unceasingly spurting from the depths of the sea, colliding with the seawater above as countless massive bubbles were formed which then rapidly floated to the surface of the sea.
There was not just one such long and narrow path, but many of them, intersecting as they were laid out at the bottom of the Outer East Sea.
Yan Zhaoge did not follow a single path to the end as he advanced, instead changing directions multiple times in order to reach his destination as quickly as possible.
Passing by many nodes along the way, Yan Zhaoge did not make a move as he just sped towards the core hub.
The nine icicles that had been used to set up the Frigid Abyss Dharma Realm had already been used up at the first node in the fiery abyss.
Currently sitting on Pan-Pan's back, Yan Zhaoge hurried along while forging a second batch of ice spikes.
It was a pity that his Internal Crystal Furnace had already exploded in Jade Sea City in order to assist in the birth of the Jade Sea Pill Heart Sword.
If he wanted to refine the ice awls now, the difficulty would undoubtedly be much greater. Yan Zhaoge could only slowly polish them.
On the Outer East Sea, there were currently both the Flame Devils and the martial practitioners of the Eight Extremities World, the great battle between the two sides still continuing.
Although the current Outer East Sea was not as fiery as the Flame Demon Great World.
However, the change in the external environment had caused the roles of host and guest to be reversed. The Flame Imps instead seemed to be fighting on their home ground. Not only did their battle prowess increase, they also seemed to never tire, becoming more and more valiant as they fought.
The human martial artists could only grit their teeth and resist. The casualties gradually increased.
Along the way, whether it was the Flame Devils or the human race, Yan Zhaoge met quite a few of them.
However, on his way this time, Yan Zhaoge carefully kept the dark red ring left behind by the Flame Devil Emperor, preventing its aura from leaking out.
Not just that, having already attracted the attention of most of the Flame Devils, Yan Zhaoge himself also kept his aura as much as possible.
Now that the situation was urgent, speed was of utmost importance.
Since the core of the fire net had already been roughly confirmed, Yan Zhaoge decided to avoid wasting time along the way as much as possible.
Moving underwater, even with Pan-Pan opening the way, their speed could not compare to that on land.
As time passed, the surrounding environment had already become more and more hostile.
Yan Zhaoge's expression was calm as usual, but a worried look inevitably appeared within his gaze.
Finally nearing another node, Yan Zhaoge patted Pan-Pan lightly. Pan-Pan's advancing speed instantly slowed.
While it seemed ordinary, no different from the other nodes, through Yan Zhaoge's various calculations, he could confirm that the node that had appeared before him now was that core that originated from the source of this massive fire net that enveloped the entire Outer East Sea.
For the Flame Devils to be able to shake the spiritual qi flow of the Eight Extremities World's earth veins on such a large scale within a short period of time, at the same time also hiding it from the eyes and ears of human martial experts, detonating the Fire Pith Vein, it was most likely here as well.
The reason Yan Zhaoge halted was because the scene before him was completely a perilous land.
The problem did not lie at the bottom of the sea. At the bottom of the sea was a silent stretch of reefs. There was only a massive entrance to a deep abyss at the centre of the underwater mountains, within which streams of crimson fire flickered.
The problem lay at the surface of the sea. Incomparably violent power fluctuations emanated from the top of the deep abyss of flames.
In the air above the sea's surface, a great battle that was tragic to the extreme was currently underway.
Its scale was even vaster and more terrifying than the previous great tribulation of Broad Creed Mountain and Jade Sea City!
Even Yan Zhaoge, who was bold to the extreme, could only halt at this moment, not lightly approach.
The so-called collapse of the heavens and the collapse of the earth, the overturning of rivers and overturning of the seas, was also just this.
Seeing this scene that caused everyone's expressions to change, Yan Zhaoge instead heaved a sigh of relief, the anxiousness in his gaze easing slightly, "Grand Master and the others have indeed found their way here."
Currently, the intense battle above the sea, the heavens and the earth overturning, was precisely the peak martial experts of the Eight Extremities World led by Yuan Zhengfeng, Huang Guanglie and the others, as well as the Flame Devil Kings who had descended into the Eight Extremities World this time.
The peak experts of the two worlds had originally been locked in battle in various parts of the Outer East Sea, locked in a stalemate. Now, however, they had all congregated in the region of sea near the core of the fire net.
Yan Zhaoge had destroyed a node of the fire net in the distance, causing a change to occur in the entire fire net as it began to repair itself.
Whilst battling the Flame Devils, the human experts who were also trying to suppress the abnormalities in the Fire Pith Vein immediately felt that something was different.
Yuan Zhengfeng and the other Martial Saint experts who were the strongest naturally detected it immediately, all deducing the changes in the earth veins as they found their way to the centre of this fire net.
Jing Zhong and the other Flame Devil Kings naturally couldn't allow Yuan Zhengfeng and the others to come and cause trouble. Therefore, they had pursued and fought all the way here, all congregating here.
This region of sea was extremely vast to ordinary people.
However, to Martial Saints, it was only a limited space.
At this moment, within this extremely limited space, more than ten Martial Saint experts were gathered on both sides, battling to the point where the heavens collapsed and the earth split apart! (To be continued.)
