Jiang Yi had been found!
This news spread like wildfire and reached all the armies involved in the search. Everyone was energized as they started to sharpen their swords. However, after knowing that Jiang Yi was actually hiding in the Lava Wasteland, many people looked stunned. That place was so terrifying; how did Jiang Yi enter? How many more days could he hide in there for?
Finally, everyone concluded that he must have had Little Eagle King’s help and had received a cardinal treasure that repelled fire. If not, where could Jiang Yi—a mere ascendant—gotten a fire-repelling treasure? Even if he cultivated fire-elemental laws, he couldn’t possibly withstand such high temperatures.
Countless Chaos Divine Boats started to fly towards the Lava Wasteland. Many Divine Boats had originally intended to send the remnants of the Heaven-Splitting Army to the Divine Wind Mystic Realm first for them to be teleported back to the Demon-Buster Valley. At this moment, all these Divine Boats also changed course and headed straight for the Lava Wasteland instead.
“Jiang Yi has been found? In the Lava Wasteland?”
What everyone did not know was... two elders sat in a small mountain within the Divine Yang Mystic Realm. At this moment, the two heard the report from one of the Phantom Race scouts as they were astonished. The elder with a more old-fashioned look twitched his lips as he said, “This lad is quite good at hiding; he actually hid inside the Lava Wasteland. No wonder we couldn’t find him. If only we had discovered him first, then we could have helped him. Earth Emanations Sovereign, what should we do now? If we have to fight with seven King-Ranked Realm martial artists, I will not participate; you can go and fight on your own...”
“Uh...”
The Earth Emanations Sovereign rolled his eyes as he said in protest, “Phantom King, you have to be clear of something: Jiang Yi is your grandson, not mine!”
Phantom King glared as he retorted, “Nonsense! When had I acknowledged him as my grandson? He is but a bastard; I had come all this way because I didn’t want my daughter to get hurt.”
The Earth Emanations Sovereign saw that Phantom King was getting angry and was afraid that the latter would no longer bother with this issue. He could only smile bitterly and said, “Alright, alright. He is not your grandson; he is mine, alright? Let’s hide somewhere nearby first and see how things go. If there is a chance, you can help by attracting everyone’s attention; and I will sneak Jiang Yi away; that won’t be difficult, right?”
“On what grounds?”
Phantom King once again glared as he said, “Your thinking is rather ideal, isn’t it? I will be pursued by seven men while you will bring Jiang Yi and flee? No way! You will lure them away, and I will go and rescue him...”
“That is fine, too!”
The Earth Emanations King acceded. He tore through space and entered the spatial zone, with Phantom King following along as the two disappeared within the Divine Yang Mystic Realm. The Divine Yang Race members in the mystic realm never knew that two King-Ranked formidable martial artists had actually been hiding in their territory for a couple of days.
...
The area outside the Lava Wasteland was now very lively. The Yellow Lion King did not head in on his own. He thought the same as White River King: since there was Heavenly King You to take care of this Jiang Yi, there wasn’t a need for them to risk their lives. The Lava Wasteland was so hot; although he wasn’t afraid that he would die inside, he didn’t want to risk his life.
All the Divine Boats in the vicinity neared swiftly and surrounded the Lava Wasteland, preventing Jiang Yi from escaping. Yellow Lion King’s divine senses were locked onto Jiang Yi, afraid that Jiang Yi would slip away.
Heavenly King Wu did not search the Purgatory Mystic Realm this time and was actually not far away; he immediately rushed over. He also didn’t enter but waited for the rest to arrive.
In only four hours, the seven Kings had gathered.
Phantom King and Earth Emanations King had also arrived. However, the two did not dare to go near. The Phantom King held onto a mystical pearl; although they were hiding nearby, none of the Demon-Buster Army scouts in the vicinity could detect them.
“Who has a powerful fire-repelling treasure?”
After Heavenly King You arrived, his divine senses swept murderously down towards Jiang Yi as he immediately asked Heavenly King Wu and the others. Heavenly King Wu shook his head while White River King and the others also shrugged, indicating that they didn’t have one.
The seven were all sovereigns and chiefs; how could they not have powerful fire-repelling treasures on them?
This was evidently not possible. Heavenly King You actually also had his own; he had hoped that someone would take out a stronger fire-repelling treasure for him to use. However, seeing everyone’s reaction, they obviously didn’t want to lend him theirs.
He gritted his teeth and said, “Please help me to hold the fort; I will go and kill Jiang Yi!”
Everyone nodded. White River King punched his chest as he said, “Brother You, you can go all out! With us around, Jiang Yi will not be able to flee! Of course... once Brother You attacks, how could that bastard escape?”
“That’s right!”
Yellow Lion King clamored, “He is but a God Thearch; if Brother You attacks, you will definitely succeed. We will prepare a banquet to celebrate Brother You’s success...”
Although You Feng was expressionless, he was cursing furiously internally. If Jiang Yi could be killed so easily, Yellow Lion King would have long taken him down; would the Yellow Lion King have waited for four hours for him to arrive?
If it was any other place, You Feng wouldn’t have said anything. The problem was the temperature in the Lava Wasteland was really very high; accidents could happen easily. Since Jiang Yi could be seated inside safe and sound, the high temperature evidently did not affect him at all. At this moment, Heavenly King You was not fully confident of his success.
Swish!
An arrow fitted on a bow-string cannot avoid being discharged.
Heavenly King You shot out of his Divine Boat as he flew towards the Lava Wasteland, holding a green pearl in his hands. After injecting heavenly powers into it, the pearl glowed; and a jade-green protective shield enveloped him as he transformed into a beam of light and shot downward.
“Phantom King, You Feng has started his attack. Shall we act?”
Hiding in the spatial zone, the Earth Emanations Sovereign’s eyes flashed coldly as he sent a voice transmission to Phantom King: “Should we attack now?”
“What’s the hurry?”
Phantom King sneered as he sent back a voice transmission: “Didn’t you say that that lad could become Thearch-Ranked? If he can’t even deal with a mere You Feng, how was he going to reach the Thearch-Ranked Realm?
“Furthermore, this lad has a top-notch fire-repelling treasure; he doesn’t fear the burning flames at all. You Feng would definitely be disadvantaged. Let’s take a look first. Old Wu and the others have not acted; if we made a move first, we might trigger something. If everyone gets angry, even your Earth Emanations Domain might change an owner.”
“How old is he only? Could you challenge a King-Ranked formidable martial artist when you were his age?”
Earth Emanations Sovereign twitched his lips and said. However, he didn’t move at all. The Phantom King was right. Jiang Yi had indeed incurred the wrath of the masses. If the two of them acted now, they could potentially be attacked by the seven altogether. Heavenly King You was really angry this time. If the two of them died here, both the Earth Emanations Domain and Saint Spirit Domain would have to change owners.
On the other side, Heavenly King You was already fifty kilometers from the Lava Wasteland. His speed started to slow as he continuously injected heavenly powers into his green pearl to block the heat.
“What kind of fire-repelling treasure had Little Eagle King given this bastard? The temperature here is so high; he is actually not affected at all?”
Feeling his heavenly powers depleting like water, Heavenly King You started to wonder quietly. The heaven-and-earth special flames here were indeed one of the top-ranked in the entire world. Without the pearl—even if he could withstand the heat, it would be rather trying for him.
Swish!
Heavenly King You kept on heading downwards. When he was five kilometers from the Lava Wasteland, he suddenly accelerated and shot towards the cave. His headless black long spear appeared as it shone with black light and a black dragon swam forth, its overpowering aura instantly fixating on Jiang Yi.
“Heavenly King You, how does it feel like having no descendants left? This is the consequence of messing with me.” Jiang Yi had not moved for more than four hours; he finally acted now.
His mocking voice rang out as his body shot into the lava pool like a fish. He sneered and continued, “If you aren’t afraid of death, come after me!”
The entire area was completely surrounded; Jiang Yi did not have a retreat strategy; he could only fight to the death.
Since he was going to battle, he would definitely go near the heaven-and-earth special flames and fight. That way, his chances of survival would be higher.
