Chapter 373 – The Source of Fire (2/2)

In an instant, the monsters shot by the thread silently disappeared – not vaporized, but completely disappeared. Not only those shot but even those that were scraped just a little bit also met the same end.

Zoom! The Ghost Phoenix shrank into a palm-sized phoenix and streaked along the passage.

From the other directions, the other Divine experts also opened a passage and rushed to the deepest part of the fire.

“A lot of people have come this time.” Within the raging fire, the huge head that was quietly watching suddenly spat. Still encased in ice, Fatty appeared in front of the head.

Asatrya’s ultimate forbidden spell was so strong that even in this place, the ice block had not melted in the slightest.

“The Great Curse of Ice?”

Seeing the ice block, the head’s expressionless face suddenly changed. A moment later, it burst out laughing.

“Interesting, very interesting. The forbidden Great Curse of Ice cast at the cost of the life of a God-level existence is actually used to seal a fragile human being. Hahaha, how very interesting. Are all the ice fellows now so weak?”

Although there was nothing he could do, Fatty jumped in shock. The Great Curse of Ice was indeed worthy of being the ultimate forbidden ice spell, it actually cost the life force of a Divine expert to be cast.

“Great Curse of Ice, heh. Whoever those ice fellows hate, I like.” The huge head slowly disappeared. While it did, a tentacle stretched out to wrap around Fatty who then disappeared into the flames with it.

“The Source of Fire, ahh… Last time, that damn kirin got some, I wonder who has the luck this time. But whoever that is, I’ll destroy whoever dares to steal from me.” The murmur of the huge head echoed in the flames.

Being wrapped up in the tentacle, Fatty drifted in a direction until they finally arrived at a place. There was no life in this empty place, only rich fire elements.

“To remove the Great Curse of Ice also requires the life of another Divine existence. You are lucky to meet me and to have so many outsiders to choose from for this. Human, listen up, I saved you, so you have to do something for me. Swear by your race that you will, won't you?” The huge head appeared in Fatty's field of vision while its voice boomed into his ears, sending a shock that made him dizzy.

Having said these words, the head no longer continued. It ignored Fatty and looked to the distance, in the depths of the fire.

There suspended a huge red sphere at least a kilometer wide, rotating quietly. On the ball, flames of various colors floated around, conjuring up a series of fire monsters that roared. Within the radius of a kilometer of the sphere, there was nothing. Even the flames rolled back at once to avoid it.

“Here, it’s this place.” The face of the madly charging Ghost Phoenix brightened. With a long screech, its body returned to its original size. The wingspan of over a kilometer violently flapped, picking up a storm that swept away all the monsters chasing after it.

“The Source of Fire, a must for the advancement to the Legendary tier! Hahahaha, here I come!” A burst of crazed laughter rang out far away, where the shadow of Emperor Occult Flame came into view.

“Heheh, everyone is so quick.” Although the Fire Dragon was weaker than the rest, it was still not something those flame monsters could stop.

A little later, the Heartburn Grass, the Demonic Eye Flame Beast and the demon whose name Fatty didn’t know all appeared around the sphere with greedy expressions.

“The Source of Fire,” Emperor Occult Flame murmured.

“Just a sliver of it, and I can advance to Legendary.” The Heartburn Grass’ leaves quivered violently, showing its fluctuating emotions.

“The Source of Fire is mine!” the Demonic Eye Flame Beast shrieked.

“Whoever gets it, owns it.” The demon whose name Fatty didn’t know coldly smiled.

Glancing at each other, the Divine experts roared and rushed towards the huge sphere at the same time.

“Go for it. And when you get it, you will find out what the true Source of Fire really is,” said the huge head in a muffled voice. Its thousands of tentacles danced wildly, crushing all the flame monsters around before the huge mouth sucked them in and burped out a satisfied moan.
