Chapter 1592: Crystalline Fanged Beast
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Ferocious Fire Mystic Realm was very famous in the Earth Domain; it was the holy land for cultivators of fire-elemental laws. However, the burning flames there were very powerful; and ordinary martial artists would die if they entered that place. Furthermore, many fire-element Chaos Beasts resided in here while a special type of Netherworld Realm beings also hid in there frequently, making the Ferocious Fire Mystic Realm even more dangerous. It was ranked fourth among the Ten Terrifying Mystic Realms.
“Fire Imps? They are formless and hide within the Ferocious Flames, controlling them? They also elevate the Ferocious Flames’ temperature by ten-fold?”
Standing on a high mountain within the Ferocious Fire Mystic Realm, Jiang Yi took a look at the mission details as he frowned deeply. He then looked at the information regarding the special Netherworld Realm beings in the Ferocious Fire Mystic Realm. “Crystalline Fanged Beasts? A mystical beast nurtured from Netherworld Flames and had powerful defenses against burning flames. After it pierced through and entered the Ferocious Fire Mystic Realm, it had remained hidden within the Ferocious Flames and can control the Fire Imps? It can actually control the Fire Imps?”
“Yes, this mission is very arduous. While the Fire Imps and Crystalline Fanged Beasts are not fearful on their own—if they work together, they are quite fearsome. Other armies and troops have found this mission hard and have not accepted it; unless the respective generals bring some commanders along of course.”
Qi Qingchen’s brows narrowed as she looked afar at a patch of red light and said, “This battle will be a hard one; we have to exterminate two million Fire Imps and Crystalline Fanged Beasts. The Crystalline Fanged Beasts can spew out Netherworld Flames as well. The Netherworld Flames are different from the Earth Domain’s burning flames; it is formless and not only has a high temperature but also powerful Netherworld Aura within. Later, I will lead the charge while you will hold the fort within the army.”
“No way!”
Jiang Yi said resolutely. “I will pave the way while you can hold the fort. My fire-repelling pearl is more powerful than yours; the Ferocious Flames cannot affect me.
“How about this?”
Qi Qingchen thought for a moment, nodded, and said, “I will follow behind you and ask the army to be ten thousand feet behind us. We will pave the way together. This way, our losses should be significantly reduced.”
“Let’s go!”
Jiang Yi didn’t say anything else as he leaped and flew away from the peak of the mountain. This mountain peak was where the Teleportation Formation was located. Three elders were guarding this Teleportation Formation, just like in other mystic realms.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Fire Phoenix Army had grown in numbers; more than a thousand men in total had been recruited, and they were all Demon-Killing Battle God-equivalent formidable martial artists. Based on their total battle strength, the Fire Phoenix Army was now the most powerful among all the eleven armies in the Demon-Buster Valley.
Once they headed out from the mountain peak, the surrounding temperature increased tens of folds as a heat wave engulfed them. Everyone felt very hot as sweat dripped incessantly; they also felt slightly suffocating.
Jiang Yi did not take out his Fire Spirit Pearl yet; he wanted to experience the temperature here. Qi Qingchen, however, couldn’t take it anymore as she immediately took out a blue pearl. It wasn’t that her physical body couldn’t take it anymore; she was concerned that with sweat drenching her clothing, she might look very unseemly and ungraceful.
“Go!”
Jiang Yi waved as he shot forward with Qi Qingchen following behind him. The thousand men behind slowed down a little as they created a space between them and the duo. Qi Yue and Qi Xia also led a few men as they released a special array that created a green bubble in midair that enveloped all the thousand men. Although this shield could not completely deflect the heat, it still helped in reducing it greatly. At least, everyone inside it wasn’t sweating anymore.
This Ferocious Fire Mystic Realm was not that big. After flying for merely hundreds of kilometers, Jiang Yi could see the place with the red light emanating clearly. After taking a few glances, Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen’s eyes lit up. It was a true sea of fire in front of them.
A huge valley was ahead; it was endless. Burning flames filled the valley, having a phosphorescent glow; it was very beautiful. As there were no strong winds, the burning flames were very peaceful and gentle; they weren’t like the flames in the lava wasteland which formed into fire snakes occasionally. The burning flames here were like balls of crimson clouds at sunrise; they were very benign and nice to look at.
Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen took a few glances. After thinking that these burning flames actually contained countless horrors and terrifying presences, the two felt that it wasn’t that beautiful after all. They paused in midair as their divine senses swept forward repeatedly. However, the two of them did not find anything. Nothing was within the burning flames; they all seemed just like balls of red clouds.
“I’ll go and check it out!” Qi Qingchen thought for a moment and spoke. Jiang Yi shook his head and said, “Step back. I’ll release some Heaven Flame Beasts to investigate.”
“Oh, okay.”
Qi Qingchen did not know what Heaven Flame Beasts were but obediently retreated a hundred thousand feet. Jiang Yi’s Fire Spirit Pearl appeared as it flashed, and a little beast with a group of Heaven Flame Beasts flew out. The little beast was a little displeased when it was summoned out as it sent a voice transmission: “Big Ferocious, I am eating the Prairie Flames now; why have you summoned me?”
“Eat, eat, eat! All you know is to eat! It’s time for you to get to work.” Jiang Yi glared as he ordered, “Control the Heaven Flame Beasts to check out the burning flames ahead.”
Creak-creak!
The little beast looked at the fire sea ahead as its small eye lit up. It loved all sorts of heaven-and-earth special flames; they were like all types of delicacies to it and could nourish it as well. Its body shot forward as it wanted to swallow the burning flames ahead.
“Come back!” Jiang Yi shouted. The little beast paused as it asked bewilderedly: “Big Ferocious, what’s wrong?”
“Many monsters reside within those burning flames; be careful not to be eaten by them. Ask the Heaven Flame Beasts to go and investigate first.”
Jiang Yi said, slightly helplessly. Behind him, Qi Qingchen looked curiously at the little beast. She took a good look and sent a voice transmission: “Jiang Yi, your little beast is very cute; what breed is it?”
“It is a Primitive Spiritual Treasure that I received from the Primitive Mystic Realm,” Jiang Yi casually replied. Qi Qingchen grew even more curious. It was rare for Primitive Spiritual Treasures and Dao Heaven Spiritual Treasures to possess life; Jiang Yi was indeed really lucky. Jiang Yi did not seem to want to explain more, and she also didn’t press him as she observed from afar.
The little beast heard that there were monsters in the fire sea and didn’t dare to go closer anymore. It controlled the Heaven Flame Beasts and flew towards the burning flames. These Heaven Flame Beasts were nourished and formed from Prairie Flames. As the Prairie Flames were many times stronger than the Ferocious Flames, the Heaven Flame Beasts easily managed to get near to the Ferocious Flames without a problem.
Tsk! Tsk!
Once the Heaven Flame Beasts neared the Ferocious Flames, the fire sea instantly burst into motion and acted. Countless burning flames moved as fire tongues sizzled, and the flames started to revolve and gather together, forming into fire dragons as they surged towards the Heaven Flame Beasts.
As expected!
Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen exchanged glances as they were both silently astonished. The Crystalline Fanged Beasts could control the Fire Imps while the latter could control the Ferocious Flames. As these Ferocious Flames merged and became dragons, their power was also amplified. The two could now detect the Fire Imps and Crystalline Fanged Beasts within each fire dragon, though their presences were faint and hard to lock onto.
Ss, ss!
The Fire Phoenix Army soldiers in the distance saw the millions of fire dragons surging forward as their faces all changed. Such a scene made their soul spirit tremble vigorously.
However, Jiang Yi and Qi Qingchen’s faces didn’t change. They were calm, and with one wearing white and the other wearing black, they stood upright while the gale battered at their clothing. It was awe-inspiring.
“General, hold them off while I go and eliminate these demons!”
Jiang Yi’s divine senses scanned a few times as confidence showed on his face. His Fire Dragon Sword appeared as he fearlessly sped towards the millions of fire dragons rushing towards him. His small figure versus millions of fire dragons formed a very striking image that all those present would not be able to forget.
