Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The ancient trees within the canyon seemed to go even more insane at the sight of Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli, their branches thrashing wildly.

Unfortunately, they were all outside the attackable area, beyond the reach of the ancient trees' branches.

"This ancient tree… it has firelight…"

Mo Qingli couldn't help but be startled, her gaze falling on the trunk and leaves.

The originally emerald green leaves now had a faint layer of firelight, as did the trunk.

"How can this be? This is the Land of Wood…"

Mo Qingli was surprised. In her understanding of the Taiqing Mystic Realm, she had never heard anyone who came out of the realm mention such a situation.

"Perhaps it's related to the Land of Fire.

The five elements generate and overcome each other. The five elemental lands here should have some connection to each other.

Following this line of thought, we should now head south, east being wood and south being fire.

Perhaps something has happened in the Land of Fire.

Based on the mystic realm generating Taiqing Primordial Qi in the Land of Formlessness, I suspect someone has tampered with the Taiqing Primordial Qi there.

We need to hurry."

"Your words are reasonable, Divine Prince."

Mo Qingli's heart sank.

The Land of Wood had first-grade Celestial God Taiqing Primordial Qi, and the Land of Fire most likely had the same quality.

They couldn't let Gongzi Yu and the others get it.

After all, it wouldn't be a good thing if Gongzi Yu used it to break through his realm.

"Let's go."

Jun Wuxie reached out and grabbed Mo Qingli's arm. With a leap, a booming sound echoed, the earth trembled, the canyon shook, rocks tumbled, and dust filled the sky.

The two of them soared into the sky like cannonballs. With the divine power erupting from their leaps, they cut through ten thousand meters of sky, then landed, leaped again, drawing long parabolas across the vast world.

Half a day later, a vast crimson land appeared in their sight.

That area was filled with red ravines, and the clouds in the sky were as red as if they were on fire.

Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli landed in the Land of Flames and headed towards the nearest mountain range.

Mo Qingli sensed a faint aura of Taiqing.

When they entered the mountain range and arrived at the place where the Taiqing Primordial Qi was generated, they found that the Taiqing Primordial Qi was already gone.

There were traces of battle nearby.

"Divine Prince, your prediction was correct. The Taiqing Primordial Qi here has indeed been taken away.

However, judging from the remaining aura, the Taiqing Primordial Qi here doesn't seem to have reached the first-grade Celestial God level.

In that case, the Land of Flames has more than one cluster of Taiqing Primordial Qi.

We are currently not deep into the Land of Flames, and are still far from the core area."

"We'll go directly to the core area.

The Taiqing Primordial Qi in the non-core area should have already been taken by them."

Jun Wuxie grabbed Mo Qingli and soared into the air, cutting through the sky and quickly leaving the mountain range, heading deeper.

At the same time, in the deepest part of the Land of Flames.

The air here seemed to carry a hint of fiery red, and the ground temperature was extremely high.

Within a fiery mountain range, there was a fiery abyss filled with raging flames, scorching the void above the abyss, keeping it in a state of severe distortion.

The expert from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect and Gongzi Yu and the others were on a mountain near the abyss.

Gongzi Yu was adjusting his breathing, his face slightly pale.

The expert from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect stared at the fiery abyss, a thoughtful look on his face.

The two geniuses carefully observed the surroundings of the fiery abyss, occasionally looking at the flames burning below, their eyes filled with fear.

The scene they had experienced earlier still filled them with horror.

If they hadn't been prepared and retreated quickly, they would have been buried here.

"Once this Palace Master recovers to his peak state, I and the Envoy will attract that Flame Divine Bird, and you will take the opportunity to enter the abyss at the fastest speed and retrieve the Taiqing Primordial Qi!"

"Palace Master Yu, the flame temperature inside the abyss is terrifying. If we go down, I'm afraid…"

The two geniuses trembled upon hearing Gongzi Yu's arrangement, their expressions extremely unwilling, wanting to back out.

Gongzi Yu's eyes turned cold, "Or, the two of you can attract the Flame Divine Bird, and I'll go down to retrieve the Taiqing Primordial Qi?"

"No… that's not what we meant…"

The two geniuses hurriedly explained. What a joke! If they were to attract the Flame Divine Bird, it would be suicide.

Earlier, the moment the Flame Divine Bird appeared, the terrifying flames swept over, making them shudder.

The flame temperature was too terrifying, as if it would incinerate everything.

At that time, even Palace Master Yu was almost swallowed by the flames.

If they hadn't been walking behind at the time, they wouldn't have been able to escape.

"You don't need to be afraid. The most terrifying thing about this Flame Abyss is the Flame Divine Bird.

As long as it leaves the abyss, the flame temperature inside won't be so terrifying.

Although it will cause you harm, with your strength, this Palace Master believes that you won't be in danger for a short time, and you will have the opportunity to retrieve the Taiqing Primordial Qi.

Currently, this seems to be our only option."

After Gongzi Yu finished speaking, he, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly.

The expert from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect also felt it.

The vibration was so small that it could easily be overlooked if one wasn't paying attention.

"What's going on?"

The expert from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect and Gongzi Yu almost simultaneously scanned the distance.

Why would the mountains suddenly tremble slightly?

Since they entered the Land of Flames, they had never encountered such a situation except when fighting caused the ground to tremble.

"Hmm? Someone is coming towards us!"

The expert from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect's eyes lit up, staring at the distant sky.

Gongzi Yu and the two geniuses looked over at the same time, seeing figures seemingly streaking across the distant sky.

The figures were rapidly approaching.

"It's them!"

Soon, they saw the newcomers clearly. It was Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli.

"I didn't expect to encounter these two so quickly!

We were just worried about how to obtain the Taiqing Primordial Qi from the bottom of the abyss.

Their arrival is perfect. Using them as bait is perfect!"

The expert from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect sneered.

"Envoy, in that case, will Mo Qingli lose her life because of this?"

Gongzi Yu understood the expert from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect's meaning, unwilling in his heart, worried that Mo Qingli would die because of this.

That way, he wouldn't be able to obtain her.

"Do you think Jun Wuxie, as a body cultivator, would let Mo Qingli test the waters?

He will definitely step forward, so you don't need to worry at all.

The first to suffer will definitely be Jun Wuxie.

With his strength, perhaps he can hold on for a moment.

With just that little bit of time, we can get the Taiqing Primordial Qi from the bottom of the abyss!"

The expert from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect was very concerned about the Taiqing Primordial Qi at the bottom of the Flame Abyss.

In the past, when obtaining Taiqing Primordial Qi, he only wanted to use it to improve the strength of Gongzi Yu and the others, so that they could better serve the sect in the future.

But now it's different.

He also coveted the Taiqing Primordial Qi at the bottom of the Flame Abyss.

Even above the abyss, he could judge from the aura emanating from the bottom that the Taiqing Primordial Qi below was likely a top-notch first-grade Celestial God resource!

This kind of resource has a very good effect on people like him who are at the tenth level of the Legendary Realm.

If he could obtain this cluster of Taiqing Primordial Qi, he might be able to use it to break through to the tenth level of the Legendary Realm, step into the peak of the Legendary Realm, and even possibly break into the Extreme Realm!

"What the Envoy said is true. In that case, let's follow this method."

Gongzi Yu was still not completely relieved, but he knew that he could not oppose the Envoy.

With his current status, he didn't have the capital to oppose the Envoy's decision.

"They are about to arrive. Let's hide and restrain our aura. With the cover of the flames and the aura of Taiqing Primordial Qi here, coupled with their attention being on the abyss, they will definitely not be able to detect our existence!

Only when they lure out the Flame Divine Bird and are attacked by the Flame Divine Bird will it be a perfect opportunity for us to retrieve the Taiqing Primordial Qi from the bottom of the abyss!"

After the expert from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect finished speaking, he immediately looked for a hidden place to hide.

Gongzi Yu and the two geniuses did the same, scattering and hiding near the Flame Abyss, while restraining their aura.

At this time, Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli landed in front of the mountain range outside the Flame Abyss.

The two walked side by side towards the entrance of the mountain range.

"Divine Prince, I sense several aura fluctuations.

It's Gongzi Yu and the people from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect.

They deliberately restrained their aura fluctuations and are now lurking in the mountains, it seems they know we are coming."

"What's the situation inside the mountains?"

Although Jun Wuxie's soul realm is far higher than his own realm,

the restrictions on divine sense perception are very strong here.

The entrance of the mountain range is still some distance from the center of the mountain range, and his divine sense cannot cover that area.

"Inside, there is an abyss burning with flames, and the temperature of the flames is very high.

However, with the blessing of the Blood God Ancient Talisman, my physical body should be able to withstand it.

It's just that there should be other dangers in the Flame Abyss.

Otherwise, Gongzi Yu and the others would have already taken the Taiqing Primordial Qi from the abyss and wouldn't be lurking here."

Mo Qingli's soul realm is very high, and her divine sense can cover the entire mountain range, understanding the situation inside.

She suffered severe injuries, her realm fell, and her soul was also impacted.

But in later years, her soul had already recovered.

Unlike Jun Wuxie, even if her current realm is only the Legendary Realm, she can still bear the soul realm of the Origin Realm of that year.

After all, this is the soul power she originally possessed.

Jun Wuxie is a reincarnated body, and his high soul realm is due to the revival of his past life memories, which is why his physical body cannot bear it.

"In that case, they want us to attract the danger in the Flame Abyss so that they can take the opportunity to seize the Taiqing Primordial Qi.

Unfortunately, they miscalculated."

“Lord Divine, the dangers lurking within the Flame Abyss are likely no less than that ancient tree.

With Gongzi Yu and the people from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect lying in wait, we should be cautious.

How about we eliminate them first, and then retrieve the Taiqing Primordial Energy?”

“They are not gathered together, but hidden in different locations, separated from each other.

If we attack directly, they will choose to flee if they sense danger, and I would have to chase after them.

Let's do as they expect and go directly to the abyss, luring them all out so we can catch them in one fell swoop, saving time and effort.”

“But, what if the Flame Abyss holds……”

“There are no 'what ifs.' Flames pose no threat to me whatsoever.”

As Jun Wuxie spoke, he stepped towards the depths of the mountain range.

Seeing him like this, Mo Qingli said nothing more and silently followed.

Before long, they arrived at the center of the mountain range, and the Flame Abyss appeared in their sight.

The temperature here was much higher than outside.

Mo Qingli's face was already covered in sweat.

“What pure energy!”

Mo Qingli was both surprised and delighted. Based on this, the Taiqing Primordial Energy beneath the Flame Abyss was very likely to be a top-grade Heavenly God First Grade!

Currently, her realm had reached the Third Heaven of the Legendary Realm.

The Third Heaven was already the peak of the early stage; the Fourth Heaven would be the middle stage of the Legendary Realm.

Within the Legendary Realm, the transitions from the Third to the Fourth Heaven, the Sixth to the Seventh Heaven, and the Ninth to the Tenth Heaven were all special watersheds.

These watersheds did not mean that those who broke through would gain stronger power than those who broke through other minor realms.

Rather, the consumption of cultivation resources would increase significantly.

If it were still the same Heavenly God First Grade Taiqing Primordial Energy as before, breaking through would require much more of it.

But with top-grade Heavenly God First Grade Taiqing Primordial Energy, even the same amount would be completely sufficient, and there might even be some left over.

After all, this grade of resource could allow experts at the peak of the Legendary Realm to冲击 (chōng jī - charge at/break through) the Half-Step Eternal Life Realm!

She followed Jun Wuxie step by step towards the abyss.

Near the Flame Abyss, the experts from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect and Gongzi Yu and the others were hiding in the shadows, spying.

Their gazes followed Jun Wuxie and Mo Qingli's movements.

A hint of smugness appeared on their faces.

At this moment, whether it was the experts from the Nine Heavens Taiqing Sect or Gongzi Yu and the others, they were all prepared and ready to strike.

“Jun, in the end, you are just a stepping stone on my path to becoming a strong man, a mere skeleton!

You dare to oppose me, to compete with me for Mo Qingli? You should weigh yourself and see if you have the ability!

Today, your life will end here!”

As Jun Wuxie got closer and closer to the Flame Abyss, Gongzi Yu's eyes filled with anticipation, and his heart felt incomparably comfortable.

This damned fellow was finally about to reach the end of his life!
