"Drought Demon?" Miao Yi and the others were shocked.
This kind of monster was not common. It was a natural monster, and it could also be said that it had innate magical powers. It was not something that the common ox and tiger monsters could compare to. Moreover, it was a monster of extreme Yang among the natural monsters. It was the nemesis of ghost cultivators. Most ghost cultivators could only retreat when they saw it, unless they had a great cultivation to suppress it.
Miao Yi remembered that when he was fighting the red-clothed female ghost in the Mystic Arts Temple all those years ago, he used some charcoal ash as the 'Yin Dissolving Powder' refined from the Drought Demon's Yao Core, scaring the female ghost into fleeing. From this, it could be seen how intimidating the Drought Demon was to ghost cultivators.
And this Supreme Yao Lord Lie Huan's cultivation had even reached the Golden Lotus First Grade. How terrifying was that? Probably none of the participating Ghost cultivators would dare to approach this island.
"No wonder he's living in this damn place!" Miao Yi exhaled. When he inhaled again, the high temperature seeped into his lungs. Amidst the torment, he suddenly felt a strange sense of joy.
Miao Yi wondered if he was a little perverted, to actually feel excited by torture. If this wasn't perverted, then what was?
However, he was immediately stunned. That strange feeling of joy seemed familiar, as if he had experienced it somewhere before …
The high temperature around him, coupled with the familiar sensation, instantly helped him recall the time when Yao Ruoxian helped him refine a transcendent artifact after he escaped from the Sea of Constellations all those years ago.
At that time, something strange had happened while he was cultivating. It seemed like he had absorbed something strange into his art source from the cauldron that Yao Ruoxian used to refine transcendent artifacts. At that time, he was afraid that he would go berserk, so he quickly stopped the absorption process.
Now that he thought about it, he seemed to be able to control the high temperature around him. This was definitely true. He remembered such a strange thing clearly.
Out of everyone present, his cultivation was the weakest. His ability to forcefully resist the heat was also the weakest. At the same time, he had to invoke his arts to help his dragon steed withstand the heat. Seeing how his dragon steed was sweating profusely, it was only a matter of time before it died from dehydration. This was not a long-term solution.
Without any hesitation, he quickly gave up on the simple and direct method of casting spells to resist the high temperature. The Fiery Star Technique quickly circulated in his body. The mental cultivation technique was coupled with transcendence energy, and the miraculous phenomenon reappeared once again. It was exactly the same as what had happened to Yao Ruoxian's Artifact Refining Cauldron.
The high temperature surrounding his body was originally invisible, but it began to fluctuate in response to Miao Yi's transcendence energy interference. It was as if an invisible cloud had been pushed away.
Miao Yi was overjoyed. As expected, he could control the high temperature around him.
Back then, he was afraid of going berserk because of the unknown. After trying it once, he didn't dare to try it again. Now, it was more important to save his life. How could he care so much? He quickly familiarized himself with controlling the high temperature around his body and quickly found the way to control it.
However, due to the limitations of his cultivation, he was unable to control the temperature in a large area. He could only barely protect his mount and couldn't take care of the others.
However, looking at the situation of the others, it was obvious that their cultivations were higher than his. For the time being, they could still forcefully invoke their arts to withstand the high temperatures. Among the dragon steeds, Miao Yi's steed was the one who was sweating the most.
Miao Yi's dragon steed, which was already feeling a little hot and restless, gradually calmed down. Miao Yi, who was connected to the dragon steed, could feel it directly. The dragon steed had also stopped sweating, which made Miao Yi heave a sigh of relief.
In the boundless charred land, the entire ground looked as if it had been scorched by a raging inferno until it had condensed into a large shell. Whether it was the undulating mountain ranges or the towering boulders, they all blended into one. The ground was also hard, and the sound of dragon steeds' urgent hooves rang out continuously amidst the high temperature.
Western Constellations Palace.
Standing in front of the astrolabe, Hei Yun cast a sidelong glance at the voluptuous and alluring Ji Meimei and chuckled. "Ji Meimei, your son is quite bold. He actually dared to trespass into Lie Huan's forbidden area. Isn't he afraid of angering Lie Huan later?"
Ji Meimei couldn't help but worry. Fu Qing had nine Supreme Yao Kings under his command. All of them were Demonic Behemoths with a cultivation at the Golden Lotus realm. Since they were able to oversee an area for Fu Qing, they were naturally people he trusted deeply. If they really angered Lie Huan and Fu Qing decided to stand up for him, even her father, Ji Huan, would probably have to give him an explanation.
The reason why the Six Sages were willing to give the old monsters of the Sea of Constellations some face was because of the Four Sages. This was the deterrent force of the Four Masters and the thirty-six Supreme Yao Kings. They were all powerful beings with a cultivation at the Golden Lotus realm. With these people working together, who in the cultivation realm would dare to disrespect them? Unless the Six Sages worked together to suppress them, no one could afford to offend these old monsters!
'Why is this child, Ziliang, so insensible? Skyfire Mountain has already been marked as a forbidden area. Why are you still trespassing? My son and I are already dying to gain the support of the Four Masters. Why are you taking the initiative to provoke them? ' Ji Meimei sighed inwardly. She couldn't tell what exactly was going on from the astrolabe. She had no idea who her son was chasing to the point of risking his life by trespassing into Lie Huan's personal quarters!
"What's there to be afraid of? If Grandmaster Qi Jie's disciple can go, why can't my son?" Ji Meimei scoffed. Although she was secretly worried, she still put on a nonchalant expression. She couldn't afford to lose her status and face. Otherwise, how would she and her son survive in the future?!
"So what if it's Lie Huan? Lie Huan doesn't have the guts to provoke Ji Huan. Only sinister bastards like you would be afraid of him, "Yun Guang mocked Hei Yun.
Hei Yun immediately glared at him and shrieked, "Why would my Realm of Yin Yang be afraid of Lie Huan?"
"Stop using the Realm of Yin Yang to scare people! If you aren't afraid of him, I'll help you arrange a duel with Lie Huan later. Just tell him that you want to challenge him to a duel. Let's see if Lie Huan can shatter your soul with a single slap! "Yun Guang scoffed.
'Challenge Lie Huan to a duel? ' Fear flashed across Hei Yun's eyes. Even though Lie Huan wasn't a match for his Master, Ghost Sage Situ Xiao, he was someone who dared to fight against his Master and managed to escape unscathed. It was all because that old monster Lie Huan had an innate ability to restrain Ghost cultivators, causing them to be unable to do anything to him.
How could Hei Yun possibly dare to provoke that old monster Lie Huan? He immediately shrieked, "Yun Guang, who asked you to meddle in other people's business?!"
"If you don't dare, then so be it. Don't be so stubborn!" Yun Guang scoffed. He turned around to look at Ji Meimei, who was watching the show from the sidelines. His gaze wandered over her voluptuous, sexy, and mature figure without the slightest scruple. He chuckled and said, "Ji Meimei, don't worry. It doesn't matter even if that precious son of yours dies. As long as you're willing, your man is dead anyway.
This guy was more than just arrogant. He had just provoked one, and now he was trying to take advantage of another.
As soon as he said that. Grandmaster Qi Jie pressed his palms together and remained silent. The other men who were listening in on the conversation snickered. Hei Yun even forgot how Yun Guang had teased him just now. His gaze was also wandering all over Ji Meimei's figure as he snickered wickedly.
Tang Jun laughed for a moment, then seemed to realize that something was amiss. There was another fellow disciple behind him, and she was also a woman. It didn't seem appropriate for him to laugh along with her, so he coughed dryly.
Ji Meimei was naturally furious. She glared at Yun Guang and shouted, "Bullsh * t!"
"That's enough!" Yun Guang winked at Hei Yun.
Hei Yun nodded as if he understood Yun Guang's intentions. His shoulders trembled as he snickered incessantly.
Neither of them were good people. In some ways, they were birds of a feather...
Skyfire Mountain.
"Young Master! If we go any deeper, I'm afraid our mounts won't be able to handle it! "
Pang Duo couldn't help but remind Bai Ziliang as he chased after Bai Ziliang.
Bai Ziliang was in the midst of recalling how he embarrassed himself in front of Yue Yao. To embarrass himself in front of a beautiful woman who could make one's heart pound was truly an infuriating thing. Hearing Pang Duo's words, he replied, "If they're not afraid, why should we be?"
Pang Duo could only keep his mouth shut.
Behind them, Ba Jie looked around and said, "What the hell is this place? It feels like we're in a furnace."
Kong Zhi sighed. "I don't care if we continue chasing, but I'm afraid your mounts won't be able to handle it!"
"Riding on a lousy deer? Sh * t! I don't believe they're riding dragon steeds while we're riding pigs. If they can persevere, there's no reason we can't! " With a flip of his hand, Ba Jie took out a string of translucent beads and placed it on the back of his dragon steed. He exclaimed, "It's hot and cold at the same time. How satisfying!"
Kong Zhi exclaimed, "Grandmaster Qi Jie's Ice Soul Beads?"
"We can't possibly come empty-handed. It's a pity we can't eat this thing." Ba Jie turned around and smiled. "Why don't I trade this bead for your mount?"
'Eat? ' Kong Zhi looked at his own mount and felt a chill run down his spine. He shook his head and rejected the trade.
By now, the large flock of birds in the sky had long since disappeared. Even the birds in the sky were unwilling to approach this place. It was obvious how hot this place was.
With such a harsh environment, the faces of Miao Yi and the others darkened when they saw that the people behind them were still relentlessly pursuing them. They knew that they were in deep trouble now, and that it would be difficult for them to escape. None of them had been to Skyfire Mountain before, so they didn't expect it to be like this.
Pi Junzi's face was already filled with fear. Even his mount was sweating profusely. He was using all of his transcendence energy to hold on as he anxiously said, "We can't go any further. The temperature up ahead is getting higher and higher. I can't hold on much longer. Let's circle around to the side."
"We won't be able to avoid them if we circle around to the side. We have to venture deeper into the danger zone and use the environment to force them to retreat. Now that there are no longer any pursuers in the sky, it will be easier for us to escape once we force them to retreat!" Gu Sanzheng said grimly.
Pi Junzi lamented, "That Bai Ziliang's mount doesn't seem to be afraid of the heat. We won't be able to shake him off."
Gu Sanzheng scoffed. "It's enough that we can shake off the others. That Bai brat doesn't have the aid of the gourd artifact anymore, so there's nothing to fear. If he dares to chase us alone, we can join forces and kill him! Now, let's see who can last longer! "
Pi Junzi's expression turned bitter when he heard Gu Sanzheng's words. He was running to his death!
The Blue Lotus Ninth Grade cultivators could still handle it. Tao Yongchun's cultivation was much higher than Pi Junzi's, so he could still hold on. Gu Sanzheng and the others had the upper hand. The Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts' endurance was clearly higher than that of dragon steeds. As expected of spiritual beasts of a higher grade than dragon steeds.
However, what surprised them was that Miao Yi, who had the lowest cultivation among them, seemed to be completely fine. He seemed to be running more comfortably than Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei.
Miao Yi wanted to pull Pi Junzi along with him. That way, he would be able to help Pi Junzi avoid the heat. However, he knew how strong a dragon steed was after riding on it. His current mount couldn't compare to Charcoal at all. If he brought Pi Junzi along as well, there was no way they could escape from the pursuers behind them.
However, this wasn't the way to go. The pursuers behind them were relentless. If they continued like this, they would die sooner or later.
