Chapter 328 – Fire Nation Ancestral Ground

The Heaven Mending Pavilion was now in complete ruins . Only broken walls and rubble were left of the once glorious great sect .

The Golden Spider did not relax for even a moment, because it knew that the wasteland region was going to become chaotic and that the ‘taboo’ was going to appear . Everyone was either preparing to go into hiding or to meet it head on . It had high hopes for Shi Yi .

Its entire body was brilliant, as if it was cast from gold . Even though it had shrunken its body, it was still several zhang in length . Its original form was as large as a mountain .

“Could it be that the dual-pupiled individual really is about to come out? It seems like there is some activity there, with even a supreme expert guarding that area . ”

News were finally spread out, making these days that could not be considered calm once again become chaotic . Everyone’s minds were uncalm and somewhat restless .

“If Shi Yi returns, will that savage child reappear and fight him? After all, there is still three or four years separating the two!”

Everyone felt that Shi Yi was a heaven warping talent whose cultivation speed was shockingly fast . Meanwhile, even though the savage child wasn’t ordinary, there was still the inherent weakness of him being younger .

“Let’s just wait and see, after all it will definitely be a battle between giants . I feel like the clash between these two will even affect countless great sects outside the region . There will probably be many large factions facing each other . ”

Everyone already had a feeling that a violent storm was brewing . If they fought, then it would definitely shake all directions and draw all eyes onto the wasteland region .

When was the battle between supreme youth going to unfold? Everyone was waiting in expectation .

“Either one could have their names left in history . Their natural talents are shocking and can even look down on the ancients . What a pity it is that one of them will fall . ”

Without a doubt, a dual-pupiled individual with a supreme being bone had never been seen before during the ancient times . It was a type of miracle, and his future accomplishments were impossible to predict .

Meanwhile, Shi Hao lost his supreme being bone yet still rose to greatness . This was just like something out of a legend . This kind of young man will definitely shock the world .

The world was in turbulent times, and Stone Country in particular was even more so the focal point of everyone’s attention . If there was ever a battle, then it would most likely be held here .

Shi Hao travelled into the depths of the desert and felt that the base of his foot was getting hotter and hotter . From time to time, he would see steaming hot air rise from beneath the ground .

“What a hot place . This isn’t a volcanic region, right?”

This area was extremely desolate . After advancing for several dozen li, Shi Hao didn’t see even a single blade of grass . There weren’t any other creatures, and all he saw was rubble permeating this dry land .

Waves of white smoke rose from the ground, bringing with it a nasty sulfuric smell . Shi Hao felt as if he was walking towards hell, as it was only getting hotter and hotter .

He walked for more than a hundred li and finally saw a misty expanse . In reality, it a white mist, and the sulfuric smell was even greater now . The entire great earth seemed like it was being burnt .

Suddenly, an enormous vicious bird flew across the sky . Its wings were over ten zhang in length and brought about a fierce gust of wind . It flew past Shi Hao’s head, making his clothes flutter chaotically .

After travelling for so far, this was the first time he encountered another creature .

There were a few figures on the back of the enormous bird . They were shocked to find him travelling on foot, and all of them revealed strange looks .

“There is actually someone who dares to travel through this great desert without finding some roundabout route or another way to cross it . Is he trying to use his body as bait and find some great opportunity?”

“This fool is just too reckless . Perfect, we’ll let him probe things out . If there really is some kind of discovery, then we’ll take it from him,” someone muttered .

The enormous bird entered the clouds and circled about to monitor Shi Hao’s movements .

Shi Hao raised his head and saw the vicious bird . He closed his eyes and continued out without showing any type of reaction .

“Ao hou…” In the distance, a loud roar sounded . An enormous scarlet wolf appeared while surrounded by fiery light . It was over ten zhang in height and twenty to thirty zhang in length . It was ferocious and sinister-looking .

Its snow white teeth were like sharp blades . The fur on its body was crimson like blood, and as light curled up about it, it seemed just like and incredibly powerful vicious beast .

Shi Hao was astonished . He knew that he was finally close to his destination since he was already seeing other creatures . There would be more and more creatures, and the danger he was anticipating was going to show itself .

After arriving here, there would be bursts of white smoke that would erupt from the ground . The temperature was enough to roast people alive, and there were even certain areas that produced bright red magma bubbles .

What kind of place did he end up going to? Shi Hao still did not know, and he felt like he had to fully understand it . He wanted to call out to some people, but they were all on their guard .

Finally, after traveling for several li, the road reeked of blood, implying that this was a dangerous area . Even though most of the sulfuric smell had been covered up, he could still smell some of it .

“That’s a Gold Eyed Dragon Horned Lion . ”

The mountain body had the shape of a lion, but a pair of golden eyes and a dragon horn . Its body was covered in green scales, making it seem like an extremely powerful descendant . In the end, it still died miserably here .

Outside of this, there were still some fragments of precious artifacts and human limbs . It was an absolute bloodbath .

There was only a single magma pool . It was bright red and wasn’t that large, only about four or five zhang in length . All of the corpses fell here, with a large part of them eaten by something .

The terrain was quite unique, as this was a great desert that stretched out as far as the eye could see . There weren’t any volcanic craters, yet there was a pool of magma and geothermal gas that rose in spirals . It made the space around this place blurry .

“You, go up and take a look . ” Someone behind that scarlet wolf pointed at Shi Hao and told him to go forward .

Shi Hao shot them a glance but did not pay too much attention to them . He watched from his location and he could feel that that was a group of noble king level disciples . Through the imprints on their sleeves, he knew that these were aristocrats from Fire Nation .

“Did you hear us or not?! The one we are talking about is you . Go to the magma pool and take a look . ”

They all felt that Shi Hao was just a young individual who was by himself . The strength of a single person couldn’t be that great, and it was likely that his team was wiped out with only him remaining . As a result, he was extremely vulnerable .

“Are you deaf? We are talking to you . If you don’t want to die, then hurry up and take a look . ” The individuals on top of the enormous wolf shouted .

“It’s quite strange . There is some kind of creature inside the magma, and its quite different from the outside,” Shi Hao muttered .

Chi

The people from behind sneered and hacked out a streak of sword qi towards Shi Hao to force him forward . They treated him like fodder to draw out the creatures within the magma .

“You don’t want to drink to a toast but instead from losing a bet . Go, lure out that creature . ” They wanted to force Shi Hao closer to the magma pool .

“You idiots that don’t know the difference between life and death, even if the great characters from your family came, they still wouldn’t dare to treat me like this . ” Shi Hao turned around and looked at them with cold eyes . It was just a single look, yet the people within that party all trembled coldly .

At the same time, two purple streaks of lightning shot out from his eyes to shatter the sword energy . He fixed his gaze at them and then raised a large hand . A frantic wave was stirred up as he grabbed towards them .

It was a gale created from lightning, forming a large purple-golden hand . The enormous scarlet wolf was immediately grabbed with incomparable power . They couldn’t defend against it at all .

This group of youngsters was extremely powerful, and their natural talents was unordinary . If they were weak, they wouldn’t even be able to enter . However, it was their misfortune to encounter Shi Hao . They weren’t his opponent at all and were still far inferior .

Even creatures from the Archaic Divine Mountains weren’t his opponent, so how could these people do anything? Even though they were much older than Shi Hao, it was still useless .

“You… What kind of person are you?!” They were all shocked . This youngster only seemed thirteen or fourteen, so how could he be so powerful? He seemed to be on the verge of entering the Engravement Realm; it was simply inconceivable .

In the next moment, they couldn’t even utter any sounds anymore . This was a gale condensed from lightning with electricity scattering everywhere . Pi pa sounds rang out as it surrounded the enormous wolf . All of them were tossed around by the lightning .

This startled the people on that enormous bird in the sky greatly . They hid themselves inside the skies .

Shi Hao didn’t have anything to do with these people, yet they wanted to throw him into the magma, leaving him to die . Nothing Shi Hao did could be blamed on him anymore after this one act .

Of course, Shi Hao was not completely merciless . He merely kicked one of them forward a bit, sending him not too far from the magma pool .

“No! Pull me back!” There were arcs of electricity flying all around his body . His entire body was scorched black, and it was difficult for him to budge an inch .

“Speak, what kind of place is this . What kind of wonders are hidden here? What are you looking for?” Shi Hao simply and directly asked for the situation .

These individual’s mouths were wide open . “What kind of person is this, not even knowing what kind of place this is? Are you not a child from Fire Clan? How did you get mixed in here?” These people were all shocked .

“Who… are you?” One of them asked in a loud voice .

“I am the one asking the questions . ” Shi Hao spoke calmly .

“Ah…” Suddenly, the one that was tossed closer to the magma shouted . The ground beneath his body was sinking, and he directly fell towards the magma . His expression was filled with fear .

Shi Hao frowned . He reached out a hand that turned into a golden wave to drag him back . He did not want him to die immediately .

However, it was still too late . A creature soared out from the magma and spread its wings . That individual was hacked in half and dragged in .

“Yi, seems so much like a chicken . So strange . ” Shi Hao revealed a look of shock . How did this creature become so powerful? It didn’t make sense .

“Are you guys going to speak or not?” He turned around and asked the remaining people .

“Aohou…” Right at that time, the enormous wolf cried out loudly . All of the hair on its body rose up as it did everything it could to resist, but it was going to fall down too .

At the same time, a fiery red vicious bird swooped down . It was several zhang in length, and its entire body was scarlet like blood . It truly seemed like a chicken .

Hong!

Shi Hao released a palm, and it collided together with this creature, sending it back into the lava . At the same time, it sent the enormous wolf into the distance, preserving its life .

“We’ll talk! Hurry and bring us away from this magma pool to someplace safer!” The remaining people cried out . Their faces were pale as they sweated buckets .

“Speak, then . ” Shi Hao looked at them .

“This place is my clan’s ancestral ground, the place where the Fire Nation rose to power . ” One of them spoke quickly so that he could bring them away from this flame pool as soon as possible .

“What?!” Shi Hao was greatly startled . He actually arrived in the Fire Clan’s ancestral ground! This was a forbidden land where outsiders could not enter .

Soon after, he learned a lot of other information . He now roughly understood the situation .

During the ancient era, the reason the Fire Nation was able to rise to power was because of this ancestral land . Rumor has it that there were many divine spiritual objects here that could allow one’s cultivation to rise quickly .

“Rumor has it that there are divine materials here that could make even ordinary creatures become powerful . ”

When Shi Hao heard this, his eyes flickered with light . The more he heard, the more he felt like this was a good place to cultivate . He needed to refine himself and break through from Spiritual Transformation Realm into the Engravement Realm .

“Some creatures from other regions are also here . ”

“Why?” Shi Hao asked .

“Great sects from outside this region wanted to cooperate with the Fire Emperor . They were going to lend my country assistance, but they brought up a few conditions . They wanted their descendants to enter our clan’s ancestral ground . ”

These people’s knowledge on this topic was limited . Shi Hao speculated that there was some kind of great secret here and that there was probably something incredible here . Otherwise, how could the great sects outside this region be moved?

Soon after, Shi Hao discovered that every Fire Emperor quickly improved their strength and rose to greatness here . They then aimed for the throne and became the overlord .

This made him even more interested . He had a feeling that Shi Yi was about to emerge from the Ancient Sacred Courtyard, and his cultivation was definitely extremely high . If he wanted to catch up, then it would take some time .

After all, he was three or four years younger . This was a handicap, but he wanted to use his own strength to prevail over his opponent . He absolutely could not be weaker than the other side in terms of cultivation .

Otherwise, that battle might not have any suspense!

This would be the case unless he used the small pagoda, but he didn’t want to use it . He wanted to fight against Shi Yi with his true strength to see who was strong and who was weak .

“This is a good place . I will cultivate here and fight against talents from outside of this region to sharpen myself . I can also catch the divine creatures here to extract their best features, refining my own body and raising my cultivation speed . ”

Shi Hao calmed down and felt that his accidental arrival into this place was also a great opportunity granted to him by Huo Ling’er . He became silent for a period of time . This was a chance that he couldn’t waste .

Shi Yi was definitely going to come out, and at that time, he would definitely shock the entire world .

Shi Hao had a feeling that this battle wouldn’t be too far off .

“What else do you all know? Is there any other strange things here?” He wanted to learn some more about this place .

“There are many eccentric things about this place . During the ancient era, even deities have come to this place before in search of something . ” Their words made Shi Hao amazed .

Moreover, there was another piece of news that shocked him . The Fire Nation’s guardian spirit was born here during the ancient era, and it protected this ancient country .
