After putting away the mid-grade storage rings of Yun Tianhao and the Grade 3 array master, Ye Xing conjured his astral fire and burned the three corpses to ashes.
As for Perfected Huo Ling's storage ring, it was also reduced to dust when he self-destructed.
Following that, Ye Xing began to study the 'Heavenly Fire Seal' on his body.
This flame rune seemed to have fused with Ye Xing's body. Ye Xing used all sorts of methods to make it disappear, but he was unable to do so.
Even when Ye Xing cut off the skin that was branded with the Heavenly Fire Seal, it was in vain. This was because the Heavenly Fire Seal was branded very deeply, from the skin all the way to the bones.
If Ye Xing wanted to dig out the Heavenly Fire Seal, just cutting off the skin was not enough. He had to drill a hole in his body and dig out his bones.
Finally, Ye Xing activated the Stellar Fire Seed, causing the black hole stellar vortex to spin even faster. It produced a massive devouring force, allowing the Stellar Fire Seed to devour the energy within the Heavenly Fire Seal.
Although the Heavenly Fire Seal was strange, it was ultimately fire energy. Ye Xing was pleasantly surprised to discover that the Stellar Fire Seed's devouring was effective.
However, the Heavenly Fire Seal contained a powerful force that prevented the fire energy from dissipating. The Stellar Fire Seed's devouring was very slow.
"Oh no, at this speed, it will probably take half a month to completely absorb the Heavenly Fire Seal. Even if the Fire Cloud Sect Master is in the Fire Cloud Sect, he will have enough time to come to the Skycorpse Mountain Range to find me!"
"Furthermore, Yun Tianhao said that his father is in the Skycorpse Mountain Range. Is this just to scare me or is it true? If it's true, the Fire Cloud Sect Master will take even less time to find me! "
Ye Xing's mind raced as he frowned slightly.
Although the situation was terrible, Ye Xing did not regret it one bit. When he killed Yun Tianhao, he had already thought of such an outcome. He did not care about the price.
"If I were to return to the True Mystic Region, regardless of whether the Fire Cloud Sect Master is in the Fire Cloud Sect, he will inform the other Exalted Masters of the Fire Cloud Sect to kill me. Now that the Fire Cloud Sect Master has lost his son, he will definitely ignore Exalted Master Wu Yu's warning. Before the Heaven Fire curse mark is removed, I cannot return to the True Mystic Region. If not, I will be walking right into a trap. The moment I reach the True Mystic Region, I will fall into the hands of the Fire Cloud Sect."
"Since the Fire Cloud Sect Master can sense the Heavenly Fire curse mark on me, it's useless no matter where I flee. He can take the shortest route to pursue me. I might as well conserve my strength and seize the time to absorb the Heavenly Fire curse mark. It won't be too late for me to flee when the Fire Cloud Sect Master arrives. I can now use the Azure Cloud Wings' maximum speed, so the Fire Cloud Sect Master won't be able to catch up to me."
Ye Xing pondered for a moment and quickly came to a decision. He did not lose his composure because of the Fire Cloud Sect Master's threat.
Ye Xing had set up a warning formation dozens of miles away. As long as someone came, he would be able to sense it immediately from dozens of miles away.
This way, he would have the time to focus on powering the Stellar Fire Seed to absorb the Heavenly Fire curse mark.
However, before absorbing the Heavenly Fire curse mark, Ye Xing first checked the two middle-grade storage rings he had obtained. He wanted to see if there was anything inside that might be useful.
In Yun Tianhao's storage ring, there were more than forty thousand middle-grade Astral Crystals, two superior-grade Spirit weapons, and a large number of pills. Many of them were superior-grade Spirit grade. There were also some spirit herbs, metal ores, and array formation materials.
Other than that, there were a few books, but they weren't secret martial arts manuals. There was only one book, which was Yun Tianhao's martial arts notes. The others were either pornographic novels or Yun Tianhao's sex notes.
He never expected Yun Tianhao to have such hobbies. Ye Xing used his astral fire to burn the pornographic novels and notes on sex to ashes.
In the storage ring of a third-grade array formation master, there were more than fifty thousand middle-grade Astral Crystals, a superior-grade Spirit weapon, a large number of pills, and most importantly, a large number of array formation materials.
There was even a set of array flags. It was a minor success Yin Yang Fire Serpent Array Flag. Under the control of an array master, it could erupt with power comparable to a six-star Enlightened Master.
Unfortunately, this set of array flags was an offensive array, not a defensive one. Before he could approach Ye Xing, he was shot dead by Ye Xing from afar. He didn't even have time to use this set of array flags.
"If an array master doesn't have a defensive array, they are most afraid of long-range attacks from archers. If it was a head-on battle, this third-grade array master might not be weaker than that six-star Enlightened Master. Unfortunately, under the Black Hole Astrology, he fell into a world of darkness and was shot in the throat by me. The array's power couldn't be unleashed at all!"
Ye Xing thought to himself. He was also an array master, so he had to learn a lesson from his opponent.
Of course, Ye Xing's own strength was heaven-defying. Arrays didn't affect his battle prowess much. He wasn't like other array masters. Although they could erupt with great power, they relied too much on arrays. If they couldn't use the arrays in time, they would be exposed.
Ye Xing refined this set of array flags for his own use. As such, when he powered the array, he could erupt with the might of a six-star Enlightened Master.
Following that, Ye Xing began to activate the Stellar Fire Seed to absorb the fire energy in the Heaven Fire Curse Mark.
Three days passed in a hurry.
On the fourth day, before noon, Ye Xing's expression changed. He was suddenly jolted awake. Someone had triggered his warning array.
Ye Xing immediately looked in the direction of the array's fluctuation. He looked into the distance and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a red robe dozens of miles away. He was flapping a superior-grade flying spirit artifact with red wings on his back. He was flying towards him at an extremely fast speed.
The middle-aged man was flying at full speed. His aura leaked out and he was at the seventh stage of the Astral Dipper realm.
Although Ye Xing had never seen the Fire Cloud Sect Master before, he was instantly certain that this person was the Fire Cloud Sect Master, Yun Xueyan.
The Azure Cloud Wings spread open behind Ye Xing as Ye Xing immediately flew in the opposite direction.
At the same time, Ye Xing controlled the Scarlet Flame Lion Bat to charge at the Fire Cloud Sect Master!
Not long after Ye Xing flew forward, he heard a shrill scream behind him. Turning his head, he saw the Fire Cloud Sect Master slashing out a terrifying flaming sword beam. The Scarlet Flame Lion Bat was cleaved into two, instantly killing it.
Ye Xing's heart leaped. The flaming sword in the Fire Cloud Sect Master's hand was a supreme-grade spirit artifact.
A supreme-grade spirit artifact was extremely sharp. If it was a superior-grade spirit artifact, it was impossible for it to cleave the Scarlet Flame Lion Bat in two.
The might of a seventh stage Astral Dipper realm expert coupled with a supreme-grade spirit artifact was unfathomably powerful. Ye Xing knew that he could not be caught or he would not be able to withstand a single strike from the Fire Cloud Sect Master!
Although he was very fast, it was impossible for him to be faster than the Fire Cloud Sect Master's attack speed. Once he approached, there was no way for him to block or dodge the Fire Cloud Sect Master's strike. He would probably end up like the Scarlet Flame Lion Bat, cleaved into two by the Fire Cloud Sect Master.
The Fire Cloud Sect Master also saw Ye Xing from afar. Although his eyesight was inferior to Ye Xing's and he could not see clearly, he could at least make out the figure in the distance.
The Fire Cloud Sect Master's gaze locked onto Ye Xing as he roared, "I don't care who you are. For daring to harm my son's life, I, Yun Voidflame, will skin you alive and grind your bones to dust. I will make sure you die without a burial ground!"
The sound waves surged over like a tidal wave. The sound waves produced by Astral Dipper's roar traveled at a much faster speed than ordinary sound waves. Despite being dozens of miles away, the sound reached Ye Xing's ears in two to three blinks of an eye.
Ye Xing did not answer. Although the Fire Cloud Sect Master could see his figure from dozens of miles away, he might not be able to see his appearance. Ye Xing did not wish for the Fire Cloud Sect Master to hear his voice.
If the Fire Cloud Sect Master were to know who he was, it would be a huge problem for him and the Meteor Shower Sect.
Ye Xing used his Azure Cloud Wings to fly at an extremely fast speed. Even though the Fire Cloud Sect Master was at the seventh stage of the Astral Dipper realm and had similarly gained insight into the Minute Subtlety realm, his air-transportation spirit artifact was of a lower grade. His flying speed was slightly inferior to Ye Xing's.
Of course, it was just a tiny difference. There was almost no difference. The Fire Cloud Sect Master could not catch up to Ye Xing, but Ye Xing had no way of shaking him off either.
Ye Xing flew at full speed while circulating his astral energy. Naturally, his cultivation aura leaked out. The Fire Cloud Sect Master could sense that Ye Xing's cultivation level was only at the second stage of the Astral Dipper realm.
The Fire Cloud Sect Master was astonished. How could a two-star Perfected One kill his son, Yun Tianhao? Furthermore, there were two Fire Cloud Sect Elders beside Yun Tianhao. One of them was a six-star Perfected One while the other was a fifth-stage Perfected One. He was also a third-stage array master.
"He has a supreme-grade air-transportation spirit artifact at the second stage of the Astral Dipper realm. Even the crown prince of a two-star empire does not receive such treatment. This person must have had an impressive fortuitous encounter and obtained the heritage of some expert. He must have quite a huge secret on him!"
"For him to be able to kill Tianhao, Junior Brother Huo, and Junior Brother Jia, he must have some terrifying means that can kill a six-star Perfected One. However, he fled the moment he saw me. From the looks of it, his hidden trump card is still unable to deal with a seventh-stage Astral Dipper realm Perfected One!"
"You're just a mere Two Stars Spiritual Master. I'd like to see how long you can escape at such a high speed. When I catch you, not only will I peel your skin and pull out your tendons, I'll also dig out all your secrets!"
"For a two-star Perfected One to possess a supreme-grade air-transportation spirit artifact and kill a third-stage array master and a six-star Perfected One, this person's secret must be something incredible!"
The Fire Cloud Sect Master's mind raced as he pursued Ye Xing from afar. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became.
The Fire Cloud Sect Master possessed a seven-star Destiny, but he had never encountered any great fortuitous encounters in his life. When his cultivation reached the peak of the seventh stage of the Astral Dipper realm, he was limited by his Destiny and could not make any further progress.
He guessed that Ye Xing had a huge secret on him. If he could obtain it, it would be a great opportunity for him. Perhaps, it could allow him to break through the limits of the Destiny realm and become an eight-star Perfected One or even a nine-star Perfected One.
The two flew at extreme speeds, one in front and one behind. Soon, more than two hours passed.
In front of Ye Xing, a flaming mountain that was ten thousand feet tall appeared.
When ordinary people saw the flaming mountain, they would naturally circle to the side. However, when Ye Xing saw the flaming mountain, his expression changed as his eyes lit up.
At that moment, Ye Xing was fleeing and was on high alert. Furthermore, he would often use his azure eyes to look into the distance. From time to time, he would look behind him to see the distance between him and the Fire Cloud Sect Master.
In Ye Xing's azure eyes, the flaming mountain suddenly changed.
