Report

The Ji Clan mobilized a large number of people. Their cavalry swept through the sky, and their banners fluttered in the wind. People shouted and beasts roared. Murderous intent shot into the sky, and cold light shone on their armor.

This power didn't seem like it belonged to the mortal world. It was like heavenly soldiers and generals had arrived. Strange beasts stepped on the air and ran above the clouds. Even the sky was shaking.

The Ji Clan's Saint Leader didn't merge with the air this time. He stood high in the sky and was surrounded by countless rings of light. It was like the Eastern Barren Territory's Godking was being reborn.

With him as the center, an ocean-like ripple spread out. Powerful divine power swept up the nine heavens and down to the nine hells. At this moment, the Ji Clan's Saint Leader became the center of the world.

Divine wind blew for dozens of miles. The Ji Clan's Saint Leader flew across the sky and landed on the sixth level. Purple energy shot into the sky, but it couldn't get close to his body. Everywhere he passed, the flames were silently extinguished.

It could be said that at this moment, he wasn't a Godking, but he was comparable to one. Behind him, six or seven elders landed as well.

On the ground, the blood had dried up long ago. The head and the body were separated, and no spirit was left behind. He had been completely killed. No matter how powerful they were, they couldn't save him.

More than ten black feathers stabbed into the ground randomly and surrounded the body. This was why the bones weren't burned by the purple flames.

"This is …" An extremely old elder with white eyebrows that were half a foot long frowned and said, "The feathers of the Fire Crow are as tough as iron and can't be melted by flames. These … are the feathers of an old crow that has cultivated for more than a thousand years."

The elders looked at each other. One of them thought for a while and said, "1,500 years ago, there was a Crow Daoist in the Southern Region. His power was unfathomable. Then, he mysteriously disappeared and hasn't been seen since."

The Ji Clan's Saint Leader grabbed a feather and flicked it in his hand. Instantly, there was a clanging sound as if divine metal was shaking.

A Grand Elder's expression changed and he said, "This old demon's life is about to end, but his cultivation is becoming more and more terrifying."

"No matter who he is, no matter how strong he is, as long as we find him, we must kill him!" The Ji Family Sacred Lord said coldly as killing intent filled the air. When he opened his eyes, two beams of light shot out like sharp swords that swept across the Fire Zone.

In less than half a year, the Ji Clan had lost two Great Elders. To the Clan of the Huanggu, this was a great humiliation. They were supposed to be the rulers of the world, but now they were being provoked again and again.

Up until now, the Peacock King was still free and unfettered in the mortal world. Now that such a situation had occurred, if they couldn't establish their might, how could the Ji Family face the world?

On this day, the entire Southern Region was shaken. The Ji Clan announced to the world that the name of Crow Daoist had been added to their must-kill list.

All of the cultivators in the Eastern Wasteland and Southern Region were shocked. During the past half year, there had been endless disturbances, and there had never been a true calm. Now, a storm was rising again.

For many people, they had never heard of the name Crow Daoist. But when the Grand Elders of the various sects heard of it, their faces changed.

An enormous storm swept through the southern region. The Ji Family was truly furious and vowed to establish their might. This caused many sects to tremble with fear, fearing that they would be swept into the storm.

Raging waves rose, and the Southern Region was shaken even more than last time!

After leaving the Fire Domain, Ye Fan heard a lot of news.

Half a year ago, the Bronze Immortal Palace had sunk into the Eastern Wasteland and disappeared. Along with it, dozens of elders had disappeared. They were all experts who had reached the end of their lifespans and could no longer prolong their lives.

This indicated that another era had come to an end. The Eastern Wasteland had lost dozens of top figures. The Bronze Immortal Palace was truly a graveyard for experts.

However, this didn't mean that the Eastern Wasteland had gone through a calamity. Old age and death were normal. Otherwise, these people would have died in recent years.

The Eastern Wasteland was too vast, and there were countless countries. Losing dozens of people didn't have much of an effect.

Another important news was that the Peacock King's magical power was monstrous. That day, the Wavering Light Saint and the Ji Clan's Saint worked together, but they still couldn't stop him and the Green Flood Dragon King. They had already brought the Yao Emperor's descendants to the Northern Region.

Furthermore, in the past half a year, the Ji Clan, the Wavering Light Saint, and the others had also sent experts to the Northern Region in batches. The Divine Source there was shocking, and the great factions that had existed since the Ancient Desolate Era all wanted a share of the spoils.

The Origin Ancient Mine in the Northern Region was originally a desolate place, but in the past year, it had become more and more restless. It was said that humanoid creatures appeared, and the sounds of nature intoxicated people.

Half a month later, Ye Fan returned to the Fire Domain. There was great turmoil outside, so this was the safest place.

After the Ji Clan left, this place became peaceful again. Unless the Wavering Light Saint came personally, not many people would be able to enter the seventh layer of the Fire Domain.

In the past half a month, he had read many historical records in the ancient books of a large country, understanding everything about the Fire Domain.

There were many legends about the Fire Domain, and many of the records were absurd.

Yes, they couldn't be confirmed as historical facts. They could only be classified as legends because the records were too unimaginable.

For example, in one of the ancient books, an Immortal had been burned to death in the depths of the Fire Domain. Another ancient book recorded that the Ancient Desolate Tower had appeared here before, floating for thousands of years.

It was also recorded that the ninth layer of the Fire Domain had a total of ten types of flames. However, the tenth type did not have a source. It had only appeared a few times since ancient times.

This made Ye Fan very excited. The Fire Domain actually had something to do with Immortals and the Ancient Desolate Tower. Although it was just a few words and the words were vague, it made it hard for him to remain calm.

Ye Fan returned to the seventh layer of the Fire Domain and prepared to think of a way to refine his cauldron.

The five-colored flame was extremely hot, able to burn a major character to ashes. It was very horrifying. In the ancient books, this kind of multicolored mist was a rare treasure among flames. In the entire Southern Region, this was the only place where it existed. It was a peak quality flame source for refining.

After careful attempts, Ye Fan used the cauldron to collect the five-colored flame and send it into the Sea of Reincarnation. He used the golden sea to block it and succeeded.

However, in just an instant, his expression changed.

This kind of flame was too terrifying. Even the golden sea could not completely block out the heat. His body was in danger of drying up.

In conclusion, his cultivation was far from enough. Even though his physique was special, it was hard for him to endure it. After all, he had not cultivated his Sage Body yet.

Even the major characters of the Ji Clan chose to refine in the sixth layer of the Fire Domain. They did not dare to enter the seventh layer casually. From this, one could imagine how horrifying the five-colored flame was.

At the crucial moment, the Azure Lotus in the sea of bitterness trembled slightly. The mist became hazy and immediately drowned out the Sea of Reincarnation. A cool feeling spread throughout his body.

Ye Fan let out a long breath. He felt that he had taken too much of a risk. If not for this mysterious Azure Lotus, he would have been in danger.

"Since I have already started, I have to do my best." He continuously absorbed the five-colored flame into his body, using the Azure Lotus to protect the Sea of Reincarnation. Finally, the five-colored flame surged and burned fiercely. Only when it was enough to refine the cauldron did he stop.

Just like that, for an entire month, Ye Fan refined his cauldron.

The five-colored flame was extinguished many times. He did not know how many flame essences he had absorbed. Only after another two months did he stop.

The cauldron became even more condensed and ancient. After the refinement of the five-colored flame, the inside of the cauldron became misty. The source energy of all things grew endlessly and appeared again.

This was the source of the source energy of all things. It would never dry up and was endless. After the refinement, the source energy overflowed again. The cauldron was no longer deathly still and seemed to have life.

At this point, the refining process had come to an end. He did not plan to enter the eighth layer of the Fire Domain. Using the five-colored flame was already his limit. He could only come back in the future when his cultivation improved.

After that, he quietly cultivated and prepared to leave the Southern Region after the outside world had completely calmed down.

Another month passed. On this day, Ye Fan suddenly heard the roar of beasts from outside the Fire Domain.

"Could it be that another major character has come to refine a weapon?" He stealthily came out and looked into the distance.

Outside the Fire Domain was a barren land. The earth was dry and cracked. Not even a blade of grass grew.

At this moment, there were dozens of wild beasts standing in the air. Their scales were ferocious and full of killing intent. Every one of them was incomparably powerful. Their iron robes flickered and cold.

Ye Fan was a little surprised to see Ji Ziyue. Her eyes were clear and ethereal. Her purple robe fluttered and she looked like a fairy. She landed on the ground from the sky and silently looked into the Fire Domain.

In the sky, a man in blue robes was as handsome as jade. His robes fluttered like a god. He landed with her on the ground. It was Hua Yunfei of the Taixuan Sect.

"Little brother Ye, we have come to see you. If you know in the underworld, rest in peace." Hua Yunfei's voice was magnetic.

Ye Fan was really speechless. He was clearly alive, but he was cursed like this.

"Brother Hua, go somewhere else. I want to be alone for a while," Ji Ziyue said calmly.

"Okay." Hua Yunfei nodded and did not say anything else. He walked around the Fire Domain.

Ji Ziyue stood there quietly for a moment and then moved. She used the sword in her hand to dig the ground. Seeing this, the knights behind wanted to go up and help but were stopped by her. She personally dug a deep hole and placed the clothes that Ye Fan had left in the Humble Peak. Then she filled the hole with soil and formed a grave. She set up a tombstone in front of it and carved a line of words with a jade finger.

Ye Fan smiled bitterly. He was clearly alive but he even had a grave.

Ji Ziyue stood in front of the cenotaph silently. She was very different from her usual lively personality. She was very quiet and did not move for a long time.

At this moment, Ye Fan discovered that Hua Yunfei had entered the Fire Domain. He was like a blue cloud, light and silent.

"What does this guy want to do?" Ye Fan was very far away from him and observed quietly.

Suddenly, his expression froze and his eyes sharpened. He saw a familiar person. A tall old man appeared in the Fire Domain and bowed to Hua Yunfei.

Back then, a hemp clothed man with a five-story silver pagoda had chased after him and Ji Ziyue. He had nearly died with a grievance.

A few months ago, he had killed the hemp clothed man in the Fire Domain. He had seen this old man come to investigate.

"Hua Yunfei!"

Ye Fan had never imagined that the true mastermind was actually Hua Yunfei. This was really out of his expectations.

In his impression, Hua Yunfei was otherworldly. His celestial music was close to the Dao Realm. It was natural and spiritual. Even hundreds of birds came to pay homage and hundreds of flowers bloomed for him. He was like an immortal descending to the mortal world.

Such a handsome man had an otherworldly appearance and a spiritual aura. However, he was very scheming. His methods were so ruthless that it made Hua Yunfei's heart tremble.

Because they were too far away and the two were communicating with their spiritual senses, Ye Fan could not hear what they were talking about. He could only observe quietly.

Not long later, the tall old man left.

Hua Yunfei stood there for a long time and muttered to himself, "A strange Divine Body with extraordinary power. If I obtain it, I must obtain its origin …" He slowly walked out of the Fire Domain.

"This person has hidden himself too deeply. Even if I tell others, no one will believe me." Ye Fan thought for a while and said, "No, I need to remind Ji Ziyue. Hua Yunfei is obviously harboring evil intentions."

At the same time, he decided to leave the Fire Domain and the Southern Region. Even if he had to fly, he could not stay in this region any longer.
