The tender meat of the Crystal Fire Beast was a priceless treasure!
It wasn't that this meat was more valuable than other treasures. In fact, the tender meat of the Crystal Fire Beast had no other uses other than being delicious and replenishing blood.
The reason why it was priceless was because it was too difficult to obtain. Every time the Fallen Star Secret Territory opened, the chances of core disciples encountering a Crystal Fire Beast in the sea of fire were extremely low.
The Crystal Fire Beast lived in the flames. When core disciples crossed the area of fire, they would only want to pass through as quickly as possible. They didn't want to fight the Crystal Fire Beast in the flames.
Unless they were martial artists who could kill the Crystal Fire Beast in one move, they would do so. This didn't affect the time it took to cross the area of fire.
For example, Ye Xing!
If it were any other Four-Star Martial Saint, or even a Five-Star Martial Saint, it would be difficult for them to kill the Crystal Fire Beast in one move.
The Fallen Star Secret Realm only opened once every three years, and during that time, core disciples might not be able to kill Crystal Fire Beasts and obtain their meat. Therefore, no matter who it was, they wouldn't be able to eat such delicious food most of the time!
Therefore, the tender meat of the Crystal Fire Beast was a priceless treasure. It wasn't that it was incomparably valuable, but that it could only be found by chance!
Those who really wanted to eat it were willing to pay a sky-high price for a little bit of the tender meat, or even exchange it with other natural treasures that were helpful for cultivation.
For most people, natural treasures that were helpful for cultivation were obviously more valuable!
Different pursuits led to different values!
Other than the flame crystals and the tender meat, the rest of the Crystal Fire Beast's belongings weren't of much use to him. After taking the flame crystals and the tender meat, Ye Xing continued to walk along the fire-free tunnel towards the depths of the Falling Star Secret Realm.
About an hour later, the flames on the side surged, and a Crystal Fire Beast that was twice as large emerged from the sea of fire.
This huge Crystal Fire Beast was more than six zhang long and three zhang tall. It was like a moving house.
The big Crystal Fire Beast walked to the small Crystal Fire Beast's corpse and sniffed it. Then, it raised its head and let out an earth-shattering roar!
Then, the big Crystal Fire Beast lowered its head and bowed to the small Crystal Fire Beast's corpse. Then, it turned around and ran in the direction Ye Xing had gone.
What Ye Xing didn't expect was that the Crystalfire Beast he killed wasn't a lone Demonic Beast, but the child of a large Crystalfire Beast. Although it was already an adult, it was still under the protection of the large Crystalfire Beast.
Although demon beasts were animals, blood relations were still important. This large Crystal Fire Beast had gone through the pain of losing its son and smelled Ye Xing's scent. Obviously, it was going to seek revenge on Ye Xing.
The fire-free passageway was full of twists and turns. Although Ye Xing's speed wasn't slow, the distance he covered in a straight line wasn't too far.
The giant Crystalline Fire Beast that was chasing after Ye Xing, on the other hand, was charging straight at Ye Xing. It didn't take long for it to catch up with Ye Xing.
Ye Xing, who was moving forward, suddenly felt the ground shake. He stopped and looked around vigilantly.
Soon, the sound of something hitting the ground came from behind him. In the sea of fire, flames were rolling. Obviously, a giant beast was running out of the sea of fire.
"Is it a Fire Crystal Beast?" Ye Xing frowned slightly.
Lin Fenghua had told him about the situation in the Falling Star Secret Territory. The Fire Crystal Beasts in the sea of fire would only attack cultivators in the sea of fire. If the cultivators were in the fire-free area, they wouldn't be attacked by the Fire Crystal Beasts.
Ye Xing was in the fire-free area, but he knew that the giant beast that was running towards him had locked onto him. He was the target of the giant beast.
"Could it be because of the Fire Crystal Beast that I killed earlier?"
Ye Xing began to speculate as the thought crossed his mind.
Obviously, his guess was right!
In the next moment, the giant beast rushed out of the sea of fire. It was the giant Fire Crystal Beast that was more than six zhang long and three zhang tall.
Ye Xing's heart skipped a beat when he saw it. This Crystalline Fire Beast was equivalent to a Six Star Martial Saint. It was a strong enemy!
A Six Star Martial Saint was the last realm of a Middle Rank Martial Saint. Ye Xing was only a Three Star Martial Saint. There was a gap of three realms between the two!
Before this, although Ye Xing had defeated Ma Ji, Ma Ji was only a Four Star Martial Saint. Ye Xing hadn't even fought a Five Star Martial Saint. Moreover, this Crystalline Fire Beast was equivalent to a Six Star Martial Saint. This made Ye Xing feel a lot of pressure.
Although the Falling Star Secret Territory wasn't very dangerous, in the history of the Falling Star Sect, many core disciples had died in the Falling Star Secret Territory and never came out again.
Being chased by a Crystal Fire Beast that was equivalent to a Six Star Martial Saint, only the top three core disciples, who were all Six Star Martial Saints, had a fighting chance. The rest of the core disciples were basically dead meat!
However, Ye Xing was an exception!
Ever since the Falling Star Sect, Ye Xing hadn't used all his trump cards and battle prowess. Now, facing this Crystalline Fire Beast that was equivalent to a Six Star Martial Saint, Ye Xing had used all his trump cards and battle prowess. Whether he could win or not was still unknown.
Everything could only be determined after the battle.
Ye Xing was alert. He activated his super brain and scanned the Crystalline Fire Beast's every move and the power in its body. Everything was clearly scanned.
This Crystalline Fire Beast was too strong. Ye Xing had to be on guard.
The Crystalline Fire Beast rushed out of the sea of fire and looked at Ye Xing. It snorted and breathed out a hot breath. It sniffed at Ye Xing and its eyes burned with anger.
Roar!
The Crystalline Fire Beast opened its bloody mouth and roared at Ye Xing. The sound was deafening and shook the earth.
Moreover, a torrent of flames was spat out from the Crystalline Fire Beast's bloody mouth.
As the sound waves hit him, Ye Xing's body shook, and he couldn't even stand properly. Immediately, he circulated his Celestial Essence, causing his physical strength to drop by ten thousand jins. Only then did he manage to stabilize his body.
However, the torrent of flames that followed was more than ten times stronger than the sound wave.
Even if he used his celestial essence to protect his body and his physical strength dropped by ten thousand jin, his body was still blasted back dozens of feet by the torrent of flames. He was directly blasted into the fire area.
Ye Xing cultivated the Pure Yuan Art and his celestial essence was strong. Even if his body was pushed back dozens of feet, the celestial essence shield protecting his body was still intact and undamaged.
However, the endless flames in all directions made him feel incomparably hot.
The Crystalline Fire Beast was stronger in flames. Even in the fire area, this Crystalline Fire Beast, which was equivalent to a Six-star Martial Saint, was a great enemy of Ye Xing. Now, Ye Xing's situation was even more dangerous!
Whoosh!
Ye Xing's body continued to retreat. With the attack power of the torrent of flames, the speed of Ye Xing's retreat was extremely fast.
In an instant, Ye Xing adjusted his battle strategy. He opened up the distance and shot with his bow and arrow. He did not want to fight the Crystalline Fire Beast head-on.
The Purple Feather Spear in Ye Xing's hand turned into a Spirit Pattern Bow in the blink of an eye and shot out a blue sandalwood arrow!
Whoosh!
The arrow broke through the air and tore the air. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of the Crystalline Fire Beast.
This arrow, which was as fast as flowing light, was enough to kill any Four-star Martial Saint. Even a Five-star Martial Saint would not be able to block it.
However, in front of the Crystalline Fire Beast, it was nothing. The Crystalline Fire Beast stretched out its claws and slapped. It was like slapping a mosquito. It slapped the arrow to the ground and smashed it into pieces.
Roar!
The Crystalline Fire Beast roared again. It shook the heavens and the earth. Its body moved and waves surged. It pounced toward Ye Xing.
Four Symbols Arrow Art — Vermillion Bird Arrow Style!
Ye Xing drew his bow again. The arrow left the bowstring and with endless flames, it turned into a Vermillion Bird that was formed by flames. It charged toward the Crystalline Fire Beast.
The Vermillion Bird was ten feet long. It was much bigger than the Crystalline Fire Beast and looked extremely terrifying.
The Vermillion Bird Arrow Style was a fire-based martial art. It was strong when it came into contact with fire. When it was used in this place of flames, its power would be multiplied.
However, the Crystalline Fire Beast was a fire-based Demonic Beast. It lived in flames and was least afraid of the power of fire. Facing the Vermillion Bird that was bigger than it, the Crystalline Fire Beast pounced toward it without fear.
Rip!
The Crystalline Fire Beast waved its claws and tore the Vermillion Bird apart. The arrow was also knocked away.
The Vermillion Bird Arrow Style could not hurt it!
Maybe Ye Xing could use the Sagittarius Constellation to shoot an arrow that could threaten the Crystalline Fire Beast. However, Ye Xing did not have the chance to do so.
The Crystalline Fire Beast tore the Vermillion Bird apart. In the blink of an eye, it was in front of Ye Xing.
Ye Xing put away his bow and took out his Purple Feather Spear. In the flames, Ye Xing could not see the Crystalline Fire Beast from a distance. The bow and arrow required distance. Hence, to fight the Crystalline Fire Beast here, the bow and arrow were not the best weapon. It was better to fight the Crystalline Fire Beast in close combat.
