Based on Mo Wen's understanding of monstrous beasts, the stronger the monstrous beast, the higher its spiritual intelligence. For some gifted demon beasts, once they grew to a certain extent, their intelligence would not be any lower than that of humans.
That type of demonic beast was mostly at the seventh rank and above. Their cultivation was comparable to human Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners.
However, a demonic beast that could speak human language probably surpassed the category of the seventh rank.
As far as Mo Wen knew, a monstrous beast was the initial stage of a devil. As for a devil, it was a concept of the Immortal Cultivation world. True demons were as intelligent as humans. They could speak the human language and transform into a human form. In the cultivation world, they were known as the demon race.
The Demon Clan was very simple in the Immortal Cultivation world. Mo Wen had seen them a few times before. Even the Divine Pill Sect had Demon Clan Protectors.
If a demonic beast could speak, it meant that it was very close to the level of a demon. Its cultivation was probably comparable to that of a Martial Arts Grandmaster among humans.
It was obvious that the giant snake was an existence that stood at the pinnacle of demonic beasts. It was only a step away from transforming into a demonic beast.
Fire Field?
Is this place called the Fire Domain?
The snake demon was obviously implying that the group of humans had invaded this area, but what was their purpose?
"She Yan, we are only here for the Spiritual Fire. It has nothing to do with you. Why do you have to obstruct us?"
The leader of the five said coldly. Even in the face of such a terrifying demonic beast, he did not panic at all.
"Nonsense! The Sacred Flame is the Fire Domain's Sacred Spirit. If you dare to harm the Sacred Flame, you will become the enemy of all the monstrous beasts in the Fire Domain."
The man's words clearly provoked the snake demon. It raised its head to the sky and roared. Its huge body twisted, causing the magma sea to shake continuously.
For the spirit fire!
Mo Wen was shocked. It was actually for the spiritual fire. Could it be …
He immediately realized something. This place … could it be that this place was still within the Tan Zi Beast Lair, but at a deeper level? According to Yin Banshuang, in the first five levels of the Tan Zi Beast Lair, the lower one went, the colder it got. However, after reaching the sixth level, the lower one went, the hotter it got.
Could this fire domain be the deepest level of the Tan Zi Beast Lair? At least the seventh or eighth level?
Thinking back to the Ming Temple martial arts grandmaster who had appeared out of nowhere, Mo Wen knew that he might have guessed correctly.
Other than the spiritual fire, what else could attract so many Martial Arts Grandmasters?
The spiritual fire could increase the probability of ancient martial art practitioners becoming immortal. For Martial Arts Grandmaster strong practitioners who had reached the limit, they were even more eager to become immortal. Anything that could increase the probability of becoming immortal was extremely attractive to martial arts grandmasters.
"Snake Yan, do you really think I can't kill you?"
The old man in the lead seemed to have lost his temper as well. A terrifying aura emanated from his body, causing the magma sea within a few hundred meters to sink by a few meters. The terrifying aura showed that he was indeed an exceptional Martial Arts Grandmaster.
"Despicable human, if you didn't have some magical treasures, this Snake King wouldn't be afraid of you. If you have the guts, don't use external objects. Let's see who kills who."
The Snake Monster had obviously suffered at the hands of these human Martial Artists, and its eyes turned red when it heard this. These human warriors might not be very strong, but with the help of some magical treasures, they could multiply their strength. If it was a battle of strength, he, the dignified Snake King of the Fire Field, was not afraid of anyone.
"Since you know that I have the ability to kill you, why don't you retreat immediately? Are you prepared to stay and seek your own death?"
The old man in the lead laughed coldly. Although these monstrous beasts had high cultivation and extraordinary combat ability, they were very simple-minded. They had actually asked him to give up the power of his magical treasures and fight him one-on-one. That was simply wishful thinking.
These monstrous beasts might barely be comparable to humans in spiritual intelligence, but living in such an isolated environment, they only knew how to fight with a group of monstrous beasts. They were as naive as a blank piece of paper.
Mo Wen also laughed bitterly. Even though monstrous beasts had spiritual intelligence that was not lower than that of humans, they were not very intelligent. Most of them were very simple-minded. In the world of monstrous beasts, the strong were always respected. Status and power were obtained through brute force. There was no mutual deceit like in human society, and people's hearts were complicated.
However, there was one thing that was true. Monstrous beasts of the same cultivation were generally more powerful than human ancient martial art practitioners. Even a Martial Arts Grandmaster would not be a match for this Snake Monster in close combat.
"Any living creature that is a threat to the sacred fire is my enemy. Die, despicable humans."
A snake tail that was hundreds of meters long and as thick as a water bucket suddenly emerged from the magma sea. It furiously swept towards the Martial Arts Grandmaster in the lead. The power of the sweep caused the surrounding space to distort. The mass of air pressed down, and within a radius of a thousand meters, the air seemed to have weight.
Even a skyscraper would most likely be snapped in half if it were to withstand the power of the Snake Monster's tail.
Humph!
The Martial Arts Grandmaster in the lead coldly snorted. He slapped the air with his palm, and the magma sea below immediately churned. The magma was drawn out of the sea, forming a huge dark red fist in mid-air. It furiously crashed towards the Snake Monster's tail.
Rumble!
The fist formed from magma collapsed, and a torrential rain of magma fell from the sky like a rain of magma.
The Snake Monster's tail paused for a moment. Then, it was blocked by a huge force.
Mo Wen hid in the distance, secretly shocked. The power of a Martial Arts Grandmaster was indeed terrifying. Also, he could sense that this Martial Arts Grandmaster seemed to be stronger than the Ming Temple's Third Sect Grand Elder. Although they were both Martial Arts Grandmasters, there was still quite a big difference between them.
"Die!"
The Snake Monster opened its bloody mouth and furiously spat out a flame. The flame slanted down from mid-air like a waterfall falling from a tall mountain, crashing towards the Martial Arts Grandmaster with a rumble.
"Stubborn. Since you don't want to live anymore, I will grant you your wish."
The Martial Arts Grandmaster expressionlessly took out a small square seal from his sleeve. The small seal was completely jade-colored. There was a dragon circling it and a qilin entrenched on it. It looked very much like the jade seal of an ancient emperor.
Once the small seal appeared, it released an extremely terrifying aura. The heat within a radius of a thousand meters was instantly swept away.
The old man pointed at the square seal, and a jade-colored light flashed. The next moment, a huge jade-colored light screen appeared in front of the old man. That light screen separated the five human warriors from the huge Serpent King.
The Snake Flame descended from the sky and crashed into the jade-colored light screen. Then, as if light had met a flat mirror, it was directly reflected back.
In the blink of an eye, all the flames returned to the Fire Snake Monster.
"Slash!"
The elder in the lead shouted softly. The small jade seal immediately flashed with jade light, releasing a jade belt that was more than twenty meters long and two meters wide. The jade belt shot up into the sky and then transformed into a huge jade sword, furiously slashing towards the Fire Snake Monster.
"A profound level weapon!"
Mo Wen's pupils shrank and his expression immediately turned serious. The small jade seal in the Martial Arts Grandmaster's hand was clearly a profound level weapon. The terrifying aura was definitely not something a spiritual weapon could possess.
This was the second profound level weapon he had seen in this world. It was the only profound level weapon other than the Cries of Hades Bell.
The power of a profound level weapon could usually only be completely unleashed by immortal cultivators above the Primordial Soul Realm. It was impossible for ancient martial art practitioners to unleash the true power of a profound level weapon. For ancient martial art practitioners, even the power of a spiritual weapon could not be completely unleashed.
However, a profound level weapon was a profound level weapon. Even if an ancient martial art practitioner could unleash one percent of the power of a profound level weapon, it was still a very terrifying thing.
Moreover, the person who wielded the profound level weapon was a Martial Arts Grandmaster.
If the Martial Arts Grandmaster had ill intentions towards him, Mo Wen would definitely not be able to use the same method to escape from him. A Martial Arts Grandmaster with a profound level weapon and a Martial Arts Grandmaster without a profound level weapon were two completely different things.
The terrifying jade sword descended from the sky. A look of fear finally appeared in the Fire Snake King's eyes. Its huge body subconsciously trembled. It had clearly suffered at the hands of the small jade seal before.
Faced with the attack of the small jade seal, it did not hesitate at all. Its tail slapped furiously and a wave of magma shot up into the sky, crashing into the huge jade sword. Then, its huge snake body turned around and plunged into the magma sea, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
A wave of magma naturally could not block the attack unleashed by a profound level weapon. It was like tearing through a piece of paper, easily passing through. Even its speed was not affected.
The huge jade sword chased after it and plunged into the magma sea, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, the Fire Snake King's screams could be heard coming from the magma sea. Its voice was filled with incomparable pain.
"Human brats, I will not be able to coexist with you."
An unwilling voice came from the magma sea. The next moment, it was far away. When the last word was spoken, its voice was already extremely soft.
"Humph, you overestimate yourself!"
The Martial Arts Grandmaster in the lead had a cold expression as he hid the small jade seal in his sleeve. This was not the first time the Fire Snake King had tried to stop him. Each time, it had been beaten to the point of fleeing. However, it did not learn its lesson and continued to provoke him.
"Grandfather, the monstrous beasts of the Fire Domain are really scary. If not for the Han Imperial Jade Seal, we would most likely be in trouble," Jun Wulei, who was standing behind the Martial Arts Grandmaster, said with lingering fear.
Jun Wulei, who was standing behind the Martial Arts Grandmaster, said with some lingering fear. In the past few days, he had seen too many terrifying demonic beasts. There were some that even his grandfather was not a match for.
It was said that there were seven major beast kings in the Fire Domain. Each of them was the king of monstrous beasts. In terms of cultivation, each of them was stronger than the Martial Arts Grandmasters of the human ancient martial art practitioners.
The Fire Snake King was the weakest of the seven major beast kings. Some of the stronger beast kings, even with the Han Imperial Jade Seal, might not be able to defeat it.
"In the Fire Domain, we have yet to encounter the strongest beast king. However, it is said that someone has encountered one. The spiritual fire seems to be next to the beast king. With the protection of the beast king, it will not be easy to obtain the spiritual fire. "
The Martial Arts Grandmaster in the lead nodded his head with a serious expression. Each of the seven major beast kings in the Fire Domain had shocking cultivation. Furthermore, even the spiritual fire was not an existence that was easy to deal with. The spiritual fire had a spirit and had been nurtured for countless years. Once it unleashed its power, it would most likely be even more terrifying than the beast kings.
"Little brat, have you peeked enough? Come out yourself."
The elder in the lead slowly turned his head to look at the position where Mo Wen was hiding. His tone was calm. (To be continued.)
