Above the Outer East Sea, the surface of the sea surged majestically, yet not a single island could be seen.
The islands here had long since been destroyed and flattened by the Flame Devils time and time again.
At this moment, massive bubbles roiled on the surface of the Outer East Sea one after another as the entire sea seemed to be boiling.
Above the sea, the blue skies had already vanished. There was only an all-encompassing sky of flowing fire that surged rampantly.
One powerful Flame Devil after another traversed the horizon, spreading into the surroundings as they brought with them the aura of destruction and calamity.
The Great Flame Devil charging at the very front had the head of a tiger and the body of a human, its features savage and terrifying as it roared continuously.
Suddenly, its body abruptly halted in mid-air.
The next moment, countless flowing fire shot out from behind it.
The back of its head, neck, back, waist, buttocks, limbs, soles of its feet … streams of flowing fire shot out from every single part of its body.
The flames condensed in the space behind this Great Flame Devil, instantly forming a dazzling painting.
It was a painting completely composed of blazing flames, on which were famed mountains and great rivers that were majestic and magnificent.
The painting of flames condensed in the air, incomparably dazzling and breathtaking as it did not dissipate for a long time.
Amidst its extreme magnificence, it also contained a terrifying power, resembling a cage. The Flame Devils that followed were unable to stop in time as they slammed headfirst into that 'painting of fire', seemingly entering another world.
A world of mountains and rivers completely composed of flames. While the Flame Devils did not fear blazing fire, being within it, they were still struck by streams of qi, forming ferocious attacks.
Meanwhile, the flames of that Great Flame Devil from earlier were rapidly extinguished, its roars coming to a halt as its body fell towards the sea down below, no longer possessing any signs of life.
A scholarly looking old man with his hands behind his back slowly appeared within space.
Meanwhile, in another direction, the speeding group of Flame Devils suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable.
Possessing natural spiritual essence of fire, they could clearly sense that the water vapour in the surrounding air had suddenly increased.
Before they could react, one spark after another erupted from the surface of their bodies.
It was like human skin rupturing, fresh blood spurting out.
A subtle yet majestic, formless yet hard to resist power instantly enveloped the entire bodies of these Flame Devils.
They wanted to dodge, yet were unable to do so. Because that attack came from all directions, from every corner of the air, covering every inch of their bodies.
Pervasive, omnipresent, omnipresent.
The source of these invisible swords was the water vapor that densely covered the surrounding space.
Under the raging fire, the water vapor should have been swept away, but the raging fire seemed to be helpless in the face of this water vapor.
The water vapor turned into countless sharp swords at this moment, attacking these Flame Demons from all directions.
The seemingly weak and fine water vapor just happened to seem all-powerful and sharp at this moment, and it caused all the Flame Devil experts to be unable to resist it.
Some of the Flame Devils struggled to resist, but the water vapor seemed to be endless and unending.
As the countless swords pierced through, the bodies of the Flame Devils directly disintegrated.
Being dismembered into a thousand pieces was not enough to describe this scene. It was as if the flesh and blood of a human body had been minced into a rain of blood and minced meat!
The endless rain of fire exploded and drifted down to the ocean below.
The figure of Jade Sea City's Lord Song Wuliang appeared in this direction, innumerable illusory streaks of light circulating unceasingly around him, dense sword-qi unable to be seen clearly suffusing the heavens and the earth.
Facing the countless attacking Flame Devils, a bright moonlight rose from the surface of the sea.
The moonlight rose, and it seemed as if it could compete with the sun in the sky.
The blazing heat caused by the infinite blazing fire instantly fell, the air welcoming a long awaited cool feeling.
Very quickly, however, an extremely powerful fluctuation emanated from the direction from which the Flame Devils had surged, the temperature between the heavens and the earth rising once more.
That powerful fluctuation was far from just a single one. Congregating together, it had a domineering momentum as it advanced from east to west with a crushing momentum.
To the east of the great sea, the boundary between the sky and the sea grew blurry, only a crimson colour remaining as blazing flames enveloped the sky.
Song Wuliang and the scholarly old man drew closer to the moonlight at the centre.
"Old Mo, we now seek stability," Song Wuliang said in a heavy tone.
The scholarly old man was naturally the Painting Saint Old Man Mo. He nodded, slowly retreating alongside Song Wuliang.
Meng Wan who wielded the Extreme Yin Crown naturally had no objections as well, following the two seniors at every step.
While the Outer East Sea was no longer completely transformed into a sea of flames like last time, there were four Flame Devil Kings equivalent to experts of the second level of the Martial Saint realm before them. Adding on the other Flame Devil Kings and Great Flame Devils, the destructive torrent formed left Song Wuliang and the others powerless to forcibly resist it as they could only retreat step by step.
Infinite Boundless Mountain's Chief Chu Yan who had remained in the Water Domain had originally been situated between the East Sea and the Earth Domain, prepared to support both sides at any time.
Now that he had received the news, Chu Yan had immediately brought along Infinite Boundless Mountain's Sacred Artifact, the Heaven Cleaving Axe, in haste to the East Sea.
Even so, however, it still felt like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood. As the Flame Devils advanced, the human experts could only retreat time and time again, giving up on the Outer East Sea as they retreated all the way to Jade Sea City of the Inner East Sea, relying on the Jade Sea Limitless Grand Formation as the foundation of their stronghold to block the Flame Devils.
Jade Sea City fell into a storm once more, seeming as though it might collapse at any moment.
Within the Earth Domain, having received the news, Yuan Zhengfeng and the others exchanged looks.
As compared to the current situation in the Earth Domain, the situation in the East Sea was even more dangerous.
While the Earth Domain might be even more dangerous, the situation in the East Sea had already reached the point where it was on fire.
Yuan Zhengfeng said in a heavy tone, "As long as the seal here is not broken, nothing will happen. However, the situation in the East Sea is critical. Other than the four Flame Devil Kings equivalent to the second level of the Martial Saint realm, there are also other Flame Devil Kings equivalent to the first level of the Martial Saint realm!"
The Lord of Turbid Wave Pavilion, An Qinglin, said to Huang Guanglie, "East Huang, I will go with you to the East Sea. The martial legacies of our two clans will be comparatively advantageous against the Flame Devils."
A Martial Grandmaster of Turbid Wave Pavilion said hesitantly, "If there are only two Martial Saints here …"
Yuan Zhengfeng shook his head, "Unlike before, the seal has already stabilised once more. Four people would at most be a little faster in suppressing them, two a little slower."
"If the seal really is broken, to say something disheartening, there might not be any use even if we all remain here."
Huang Guanglie gazed at Yuan Zhengfeng.
Pointing at the great golden sun down below, Yuan Zhengfeng looked straight at Huang Guanglie, "Unreasonable Old Huang, this old man knows that you covet this treasure down below. This old man covets it as well. Who doesn't like good things?"
"However, if the seal is broken, let alone the Nine Underworlds descending afterwards, this old man and Shen Li would be the first two to suffer a calamity here. If it were you, would you want a treasure over your life?"
Shen Li nodded solemnly as well.
Huang Guanglie looked at the great golden sun that was currently sinking unceasingly within the deep abyss down below, pondering for a moment before he finally still nodded, "Alright."
Everyone present were bigwigs of their own domains, being decisive in their actions. Having made their decision, they immediately acted.
Huang Guanglie and An Qinglin immediately ceased their cultivation before rising together, leaving the Earth Domain and heading straight for the East Sea. (To be continued.)
