Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

After storing twenty thousand Heaven Flame Beasts into his Fire Spirit Pearl, Jiang Yi made the little beast steer the remaining Heaven Flame Beasts into the valley. Then, he cleaned up his surroundings and dumped the remnants of his zither and the Sword Emanations Race beings into the Lava Pit. He did not want other formidable martial artists to discover these things if they did decide to use their divine senses to sweep the area.

“Big Ferocious, I’m going to take a look again.” 

Although it had suffered a death scare from the Heaven Flame Beasts, the foodie’s thirst for food still could not be contained. Now that it knew that Jiang Yi could subdue the Heaven Flame Beasts, the Heaven-Swallowing Beast could not hold itself back any longer. After saying that one sentence, it rushed into the lava again.

This time, however, it had learned its lesson. It brought twenty thousand Heaven Flame Beasts with it into the Lava Pit and headed straight towards the heaven-and-earth special flames.

Jiang Yi smiled bitterly, not bothering about it for a while. The little beast had already provoked the Heaven Flame Beasts earlier. If there were any other beasts inside the Lava Pit, they would have emerged a long time ago. There was calm over the entire Lava Pit now. Jiang Yi guessed that there were no other beasts apart from the Heaven Flame Beasts.

As expected!

Five minutes later, the little beast returned, its two eyes glowing. From afar, it sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi, saying: “Big Ferocious, the special flames here are very powerful! I know these flames from the memory that I inherited. These flames are the tenth most powerful heaven-and-earth special flames and was known as the Prairie Flames! Big Ferocious, I want to seclude myself in the center of the flames. This time, I might remain in seclusion for a long, long time. Will you leave this place?” 

“Uh?”

Jiang Yi paused for a while. How long was a long, long time? He would definitely leave this place. What else would he do? Wait to die? This place had no heaven-and-earth spirit energy.

He questioned the little beast, which said it did not know as well. It only said that it needed at least ten days or half a month. Jiang Yi nodded and said, “Then, go ahead. If I have to leave, stay here and don’t run around. I will come back for you.”

“Okay, okay, okay!”

The little beast looked at Jiang Yi deeply and then headed deeper into the Lava Pit. Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, thinking about whether to take the risk. Finally, he decided not to. He only had one life, and it was not yet time to risk it all. There was no reason to take the risk. He had too many things that he still had to do.

Jiang Yi activated the Art of Concealment and quieted down to cultivate. He wanted to realize the Quintessence.

A leaf from the divine tree appeared in his hand. This place did not have heaven-and-earth spirit energy, but that had nothing to do with realizing laws. As he held onto the leaf, he felt like he was progressing at the speed he would if he were in the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm. It did not matter anymore where he was.

Silence was restored all around him. The Heaven-Swallowing Beast had gone deep into the Lava Pit, and it was not coming back. It did not scream for help from any bestial attacks either. Two hours later, Jiang Yi calmed down completely, entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man, and focused all his energy on realizing something.

…

Time passed extremely quickly. In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

Seven King-Ranked martial artists, close to twenty thousand Titled Battle Gods, and countless scouts searched the entire area around the Divine Yang Mystic Realm three times. Even the Purgatory Mystic Realm was searched thoroughly twice through.

Still, no one found anything. They did not even have a single clue. Jiang Yi seemed to have vanished into thin air. A group of formidable martial artists gathered in the Purgatory Mystic Realm’s Teleportation Formation and discussed their strategy. A few people suspected that the Green Eagle King and Little Eagle King had really taken Jiang Yi away.

Five days had already gone by. The Green Eagle King and Little Eagle King were probably back in the Ink Feather Mystic Realm by now, weren’t they? Even if everyone joined forces to attack them, they would surely not be able to search that place. Many people’s hearts sank. They felt like they had wasted a few days’ worth of effort. They wanted to go their own way.

“Everyone!”

Heavenly King Wu took one glance at the dejected group and said in a low voice, “Believe me. Jiang Yi did not leave with the Green Eagle King. He must be hidden somewhere. However, the place he is hiding must be beyond our expectations. Everyone, go your own way and search one more time. The more unlikely a place seems, the harder you must look. The Green Eagle King and I fought in battle many times before. He was my assistant officer back then. I know his character very well. He will not do something as despicable as this.”

“Alright then!”

Heavenly King Wu had already put it this way; the group had no choice but to search one more time. Heavenly King Wu pondered for a while and then began to split the groups again. The way he divided the area was different as well. The groups exchanged areas, so that people would be more careful and less likely to miss anything.

The army left in groups. This time, two hundred thousand Heaven-Splitting Army soldiers worked together with them as well. Since there were five hundred Chaos Divine Boats, even though two hundred thousand soldiers was a large number, they were still able to contain them by splitting them into smaller groups. The Purgatory Mystic Realm was too dangerous. They could not remain in the Teleportation Formation forever. The longer they stayed there, the more affected they would be by the Demonic Repellent and the easier it would become to demonize them.

This time, the people in charge of searching the area containing the Lava Wasteland was another King-Ranked martial artist. He was the Yellow Lion King, the sovereign of the Yellow Lion Domain.

Yellow Lion King’s attitude towards the search was very similar to the White River King’s. He had no patience. Yet, for the sake of his own reputation, he could not afford to be the first one to leave. He did not even want to search personally. Instead, he sent his subordinates out and asked them to search on his behalf while he waited in the void nearby to oversee the mission.

This time, the heavens did not sustain Jiang Yi well.

There was a strange race in Yellow Lion Domain, and these people had very sharp noses. When one of them went to the Green Soul Mystic Realm, he discovered that something was amiss. Following the smell of blood led him to the cave in which Jiang Yi killed You Tianni.

That cave was a natural illusion array, but it could not hide the stench of blood. Although a few days had already passed and the blood had dried up long ago, this man of the special race from Yellow Lion Domain had a very keen sense of smell. He still managed to track the smell.

He led a group of people into the cave and easily found marks of a battle. Then, he found the dried-up bloodstains on the ground, as well as the remnants of the two men’s brains.

When this man conveyed this news, the Yellow Lion King rushed over at once. From the battle scars, he could tell that You Tianni and Ren Tianfan had died here.

Since they were killed here, why were the corpses found in a mystic realm in the southwest region? Why was the Little Eagle King there as well? Why did they set up another murder scene?

The answer was obvious!

The Little Eagle King was indeed hiding Jiang Yi and diverting their attention. Jiang Yi had escaped towards the east. He must be hidden in a mystic realm or wasteland in the east.

Once he made this conclusion, the Yellow Lion King perked up at once. He looked around every mystic realm and wasteland personally. He had not even let the Lava Wasteland slip past his nose. He personally went close to the Lava Wasteland and used his divine senses to look around inside it, again and again.

The Lava Wasteland was a dead town. There was no sign of life or any living spirit inside. Jiang Yi did not leave any clues behind. While he was concealed, he looked just like an inanimate object. There was no sign of life around him, which explained why the Yellow Lion King retracted his divine senses after looking around for a long while.

“En?”

At that moment, Jiang Yi was alerted. He felt divine senses sweep past him, but they did not hover around him. This meant that the formidable martial artists looking in did not discover him.

“Something isn’t right…”

The next moment, the powerful divine senses swept past him again. Jiang Yi’s heart jumped as he opened his eyes in shock, his expression bitter. He had been found! The divine senses had locked in on him.

“How can this be? What’s the problem?”

Jiang Yi’s eyes moved around. He could not figure out what exactly gave him away. How did this King-Ranked find him?

“The Fire Spirit Pearl!”

He glanced at the Fire Spirit Pearl and smiled bitterly. He had forgotten one thing: the Fire Spirit Pearl could absorb flames. Although there were no flames around them, flames were reaching out from underneath him. There were also sparks in the air. Naturally, the sparks in the air would be absorbed by his Fire Spirit Pearl.

“Hahahaha!”

A voice transmission sounded in Jiang Yi’s head: “Jiang Yi, you’ve hidden too well. If not for my powerful divine senses, we would never have found you. Let’s see how you escape this time.”
