619 The Beast King Panicked (2/2)

The rocks that had not melted in the sea of lava began to do so. They turned into magma and disappeared. The fire attribute monstrous beasts living in the sea of lava jumped out. They had been boiled alive by the terrifying heat.

Mo Wen's expression changed. He began to sweat profusely, his perspiration soaking through his shirt in mere moments. It felt as if there was a fire burning inside his body. If this continued, he might turn into a dried corpse. He might even self-ignite.

The Giant Crocodile Beast King was terrifying. Luckily, he had cultivated in the skills of the fire attribute. The Nine Yang Divine Technique was the strongest and most Yang mantra in the world. Without it, he would not be able to withstand the heat.

Mo Wen flicked his wrist and a black crystal appeared in his hand. It was the Dark Soul Pearl.

He had not used the Dark Soul Pearl in the attacks on him before because he knew of its value. It was even more valuable than the spiritual fire to martial arts grandmasters. Even though one could only become an underworld immortal cultivator should they use the Dark Soul Pearl to become an immortal, the probability of successfully becoming an immortal when using it was higher than using any other treasures.

It was the most valuable treasure to some martial arts grandmasters.

The Dark Soul Pearl slowly released rays of black light. It blocked the heat from the Giant Crocodile Beat King completely, enveloping Mo Wen in cold air. The heat no longer affected Mo Wen.

”Hm?” The Giant Crocodile Beast King hummed questioningly Even though it was just a hum, it was as loud as thunder to Mo Wen. ”You've got some skills.” The Giant Crocodile Beast King nodded and actually looked at Mo Wen approvingly. The young human warrior had blocked its attack several times: he was definitely no weakling.

The heat that the Giant Crocodile Beast King had released was no ordinary heat. The creature had cultivated the heat that it had been born with for more than a million years. Even though its heat was not comparable to the spiritual fire, it was still an extremely strong attack skill. The heat greatly increased the power of the Giant Crocodile Beast King while decreasing its enemies' strength. The beast king of the fire domain was astonished to realize that the youth was not affected by the heat.

”You must be a genius among human warriors. You are the lynchpin of the next generation of powerhouses. Someone like you should definitely die!

There was a vicious glint in the Giant Crocodile Beast King's eyes that warned of impending death. The beast had detested humans ever since martial arts powerhouses had started to frequently intrude into the fire domain, disrupting the peace of the region. The Giant Crocodile Beast King could foresee that someone like Mo Wen would become a powerful enemy in the future.

A brilliant red light slowly gathered in the fire domain beast king's mouth. The glaring ball of red light looked like a miniature sun. The Giant Crocodile Beast King slowly opened its mouth. The ball of red light grew bigger and bigger and the light grew more and more brilliant.

Even though it was the beast king of the fire region, the gaze of the giant crocodile grew grave. It looked as if it could not bear to attack.

Mo Wen's body stiffened as he floated in mid-air. A terrifying pressure rushed forth from all around. The terrifying aura made him shudder and he grew wary as if he could sense death approaching.

Mo Wen smiled bitterly. He was too weak right now to defend himself against a creature like the beast king. The beast king was definitely a tip-top existence among monstrous beast. If the creature made just one more stride forward it would become a legendary demon.

However, this was not an easy task. Even after cultivating for a hundred million years, the probability of becoming a demon was very slight. It was said that inheritance was the crucial factor in allowing monstrous beasts to become demons. If their blood did not meet the criteria it would be very difficult for them to become a demon. Likewise, some monstrous beasts with noble blood could become demons due to lucky circumstances even if their cultivation levels were not high.

About half of the seven major beast kings in the fire domain had cultivated for thousands of years, but becoming a demon was rare.

Mo Wen sighed and flicked his wrist. The Thousand Mile Talisman appeared in his hand. He could not think of any other way to escape other than by using it.

Just then a strange sound emerged from the sea of lava, just as the Giant Crocodile Beast King was about to attack Mo Wen with all its might. The noise caught Mo Wen by surprise. It sounded like a sea snail, but also like a monstrous beast singing.

The sound slowly emerged from the sea of lava, producing a ripple effect which stretched out far and wide. The distance it spread out for could not be determined. It felt as if the entire fire domain was enshrouded by the sound.

The Giant Crocodile Beast King's expression changed drastically when it heard the sound. Whatever the sound meant, it was clearly a matter of huge importance. The creature abandoned Mo Wen and dove into the sea of lava, disappearing in the blink of an eye. The beast king moved astonishingly quickly despite its vast size.

Mo Wen, who had been about to activate the Thousand Mile Talisman, stopped in his tracks. He looked with surprise in the direction where the Giant Crocodile Beast King left. Confusion was evident in his eyes as he contemplated what had just happened. For the beast king to disappear so quickly, something huge must have happened.

Mo Wen looked down as he pondered the matter. Then, his eyes brightened. Could it be! Did it have something to do with the spiritual fire?

The current situation suggested that the spiritual fire must have something to do with the Giant Crocodile Beast King becoming so flustered. From how the snake king had behaved earlier, he could see that the spiritual fire was very important to this fire domain. The seven beast kings worked together to protect it.

”They must have found the spiritual fire.”

Mo Wen's expression flickered before he gritted his teeth. He turned to give chase to the Giant Crocodile Beast King.
