Chapter 360: Attack!

Upon hearing the violent roar of a third beast, Nie Tian couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s the Earth Flame Beast!”

He had been there when the Earth Flame Beast had escaped from the lava lake in the earth’s core, which was also when the Flame Dragon Armor had obtained great fortune from that devastating upheaval in the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range.

Therefore, he was very familiar with the Earth Flame Beast’s roars.

Li Jing’s expression also flickered slightly as she said, “I can’t believe the Earth Flame Beast is here too!”

She had also witnessed the blazing calamity that had struck the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range.

Back then, she and Ghost Eye had been there to deal with Fang Hui from the Spiritual Treasure Sect.

The escape of the Earth Flame Beast had caused great turbulences to the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, and resulted in burning lava rushing out of the earth’s core and flooding the mountain range.

It was the Earth Flame Beast’s sudden appearance that had forced the Blood Sect and Ghost Sect to abort their joint operation against the Spiritual Treasure Sect.

“How powerful is that Earth Flame Beast exactly, Senior Li?” Nie Tian subconsciously asked the question.

After a moment of pondering, Li Jing said, “That Earth Flame Beast was a sixth grade spirit beast. In the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, I witnessed charged out from the depths of the earth and channeled boiling lava from the earth’s core to flood almost the entire Spiritual Treasure Sect.

“After seeing its devastating strength, Ghost Eye and I immediately ended our battle against Fang Hui.

“As the most powerful expert in the Spiritual Treasure Sect, Fang Hui tried to trap it and send it back to the earth’s core, but he failed. Ghost Eye and I tried to stop it from flying away, but we failed as well.

“Since then, it seemed to have vanished into thin air, and no one has ever seen it again.

“I never thought it would show up here at this moment.”

At this moment, Huang Fan from the Heaven Palace Sect said, the look in his eyes turning grim, “A sixth grade Earth Flame Beast, a sixth grade Ice Liger, and an unknown mutant spirit beast that is equally as strong, if not stronger. I didn’t know that there were so many fierce, high-grade spirit beasts hiding in the unimpressive Realm of Flame Heaven. These three are only the ones that have surfaced. It’s hard to say whether or not more powerful spirit beasts are lurking in the dark.”

Face clouded by worries, he gazed down at the huge spatial rift, which hadn’t been fully sealed yet.

Beside him, Li Jing’s expression was also as grim as lake water.

At that moment, enormous clusters of flames sudden burst forth in a far location, where, due to the long distance, the demon Qi was still yet to be purged by the pouring rivers of starlight.

In the midst of the torrential flames, the Earth Flame Beast’s gigantic body gradually rose into the air.

The blackish-violet demon Qi in its surroundings seemed to be attracted by it and rapidly converged on it from every direction.

Then, the Earth Flame Beast opened its huge mouth and inhaled every last wisp of the surging demon Qi.

In the next moment, its dark-red skin, which looked like heated rocks, took on a purple hue.

It threw its head back and let out a fierce roar, as if its innermost bloodline had been nourished by the demon Qi, and was gradually awakening.

Simultaneously, another heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar rang out.

A giant translucent beast emerged from the rolling demon Qi and charged towards Nie Tian’s location. The beast resembled a mix between a tiger and a lion, and it had silvery-white pupils.

“The Ice Liger!” Chang Sen from the Hell Sect took a deep breath and discovered that wherever the spirit beast went, the ground would freeze, and the temperature would drop dramatically.

The sixth grade Ice Liger breathed in the rich demon Qi as its translucent body emanated a frigid-cold aura.

The cold aura gradually pervaded its surroundings and turned the area within several kilometers around it into a world of ice and snow. Furthermore, as it came closer and closer, its frigid aura influenced an increasingly large area.
