Chapter 329 – Scarlet Region

Magma splashed out, sending out a flash of scorching light . The creature attacked with its crimson feathers and metallic wings . With a scream, it caused a scarlet wave to pour downwards .

Shi Hao flicked his finger, and a strand of sword energy flew out . With a pu sound, the vicious bird was wounded . Large amounts of blood trickled down .

The people on the side were all shaken; this was the disparity between them . When they encountered this abnormal bird, they could only back off, while this individual could hack it until blood flew everywhere .

The crimson vicious bird released a long cry before dropping into the pool . Heat roiled and magma splashed out in waves, creating a radiance that burned people’s flesh . It once again went into hiding .

“It’s really strange . It’s only a chicken, yet it’s so powerful . I’m going to catch you and take a look . ” Shi Hao’s right hand made a swiping motion, hacking apart this magma pool . It was not that deep, but the magma splashed about with extreme heat .

The vicious bird was quite powerful, but it still fell a bit short when compared to Shi Hao . It was forced out in a fit of rage . The scarlet feathers covering its body flew out like crimson lightning .

Shi Hao brought out the golden dragon shears, and with ka cha ka cha sounds, the scarlet feathers were all cut apart and ruined .

“It really is like a chicken…” He was amazed .

The vicious beast was quite ferocious and once again pounced over maliciously . Its shape was just like a chicken, but it was quite large, being several zhang in length .

With a pu sound, Shi Hao’s finger slashed out like a sword, slicing off its head . Blood splashed everywhere as the vicious bird’s life was ended .

“The meat is sparkling and seems quite delicious . ” Shi Hao was hungry, so he began to pluck its feathers on the spot . He poured out some clean water from the heaven and earth pouch and began to wash it .

Following that, he brought out the Heaven Transforming Bowl . He took out the two spiders and threw them into another precious artifact . He then placed the abnormal chicken inside and started to stew it .

Those on the side felt their teeth hurting as they watched . What kind of lord was this? What was he trying to do here? He actually used such a powerful magical artifact to stew a chicken .

Finally, Shi Hao ate this unusual chicken . The spiritual essence within it was extremely dense, and there was also an unusual power that could strengthen muscles and bones .

Based on what these individuals said, this was where it was special . Creatures born in this place all possessed some kind of divine essence that was particularly useful for humans .

“This was originally just a free-range chicken, but after living here for a hundred years, it set itself apart from the masses . After stepping into the dao, it turned into an abnormal bird . ” Shi Hao spoke quietly .

If it was elsewhere, how could a chicken undergo such transformations?

He was quite shocked . Normal creatures could even undergo such change after staying here for a long time . What if it was some even more powerful character? This place was worthy of being the Fire Clan’s ancestral ground!

He continued on his way and received his confirmation . He killed a wild mastiff, finding that it was another ordinary creature who underwent transformation to obtain unique abilities .

“Turning the rotten into wonder, making even an ordinary creature into a vicious bird . If one can trace this back to its roots and acquire it, then how much more powerful could a person become?” Shi Hao was rather moved .

Those individuals became Shi Hao’s attendants, and the enormous wolf that reached more than a dozen zhang in height became his mount . They travelled through the scorching desert in a bold and powerful manner .

“Ya, Blue Lotus!”

One of them cried out in shock . There was a great valley in front of them, splitting the desert in two . Within the darkness, a blue light flickered . There was a lotus flower, but instead of taking root within water, it stemmed from the crack of a stone .

It was quite short, being only an inch in height, but its flower was as large as a bowl . It was sparkling blue, and even though there was still quite a bit of distance separating them, they could already smell its fragrance .

The attendants beside Shi Hao also walked up . They wanted to pick it because it was good stuff . It possessed an incredibly powerful divine nature that one could only encounter but not wish for .

In this place, just the wild grass grown here far surpassed the spiritual medicines of the outside world . It was not a matter of their rarity, but rather because they absorbed the divine substance of this area .

Suddenly, an enormous bird swooped down from the skies, hacking down several streaks of blade energy to stop them . Precious artifacts also descended to kill Shi Hao .

“Get lost!”

Shouts rang out from above the vicious bird . They had always followed closely behind and had long thought of Shi Hao as cannon fodder . They used him to bait the unique creature, but never thought that he would be that powerful, so they didn’t want to rush indiscriminately into action .

Now that they saw a stalk of lotus medicine, they couldn’t hold themselves back anymore and quickly stopped him . It was because they knew that this kind of spiritual object was extremely rare and could advance one’s cultivation . It was extremely beneficial for them .

Dang!

Shi Hao took action, using his hands to form the Suan Ni imprint . His palm and fingers formed an archaic vicious beast, releasing the sounds of wind and thunder . Those precious techniques were all shattered, and those people were shaken .

“How could he be this powerful? He could bare-handedly shatter precious artifacts?!”

They did not know Shi Hao’s identity, only that he had risked his life to kill a pure-blooded beast . They were hiding far away and didn’t dare to provoke him at all .

They could also be considered experts of the human clan, and at the very least, they were extremely outstanding within their peers . However, when compared to Shi Hao, there was an extremely great disparity .

“Hurry up and pluck it!”

They did not fight him head on . The enormous vicious bird swooped down into the great valley towards the Blue Lotus . They wanted to first forcefully fetch it and then rush into the clouds, presuming that the other party wouldn’t be able to catch up .

Hong

None of them foresaw that they would encounter a great disaster . Scarlet waves soared into the sky as the canyon split apart . Magma surged, causing the scorching heat to flood the heavens . A vast crimson expanse covered the heaven and earth .

This place was extremely dangerous, and the temperature was so high it reached an unbearable degree . They suffered a great crisis .

The vicious bird released a miserable cry as it suffered in the heat . The scarlet wave surged up and submerged him, and not a single person on the bird’s back remained alive .

Within chi la sounds, their flesh dried up and went up in flames . They quickly turned into ashes, vanishing from this world .

“Hurry up!” The individuals on top of the canyon cried out loudly . They turned around and fled, but they were still too late . The ground split apart, and these individuals fell into the sea of flames .

The magma underground surged and rushed into the sky . The scorching redness covered everything, and the shadow of death enveloped this ancestral ground .

Shi Hao’s expression changed . He moved quickly after sensing that it was dangerous . The scarlet liquid magma was hot to the extreme, and once submerged, it would mean death .

He didn’t have time to rescue anyone, because everything happened too quickly . It was as if the heavens were collapsing, and a circumference of ten li was caving in . The scarlet liquid engulfed towards the skies .

The enormous wolf released a cry, and its eyes were full of fear . In the end, it sank into the magma, and even its bones were melted .

Shi Hao sighed . He stood on top of a precious artifact and rushed into the clouds . As he watched everything that unfolded below, he had a feeling that people were really insignificant before nature .

Everything within a circumference of ten li collapsed, turning into magma . Moreover, there were symbols within the bright flames, interweaving about strand after strand . It was no wonder not even experts could bear it and were completely turned into ashes .

“Worthy of being the Fire Clan’s ancestral ground . ” This was not the first time Shi Hao sighed in admiration, with every experience not quite like the last .

Everything finally calmed down, and the great valley disappeared . Everything was crimson, and a few more lakes of magma appeared .

It did not cool off or dry up . It rested peacefully there just like that while shining bright red .

This was a type of natural marvel that could only make others sigh in admiration .

Within the lake, a Blue Lotus bobbed up and down . As it took root within the magma, not only did it not wither, its appearance began to change, developing a silver luster .

“What a great stalk of medicine . It has already absorbed quite a bit of this place’s divine characteristics . If I could obtain it, it could lessen my time of cultivation by several months,” someone said softly .

This was a youngster roughly sixteen or seventeen in age . There was a pair of wings behind him with electricity cackling about it . He was three or four years older than Shi Hao and was currently looking at the medicine within the scarlet lake . His eyes were burning with desire .

However, he did not act blindly without thinking and only shook his wings . With a shua sound, he appeared not far from Shi Hao and said, “Little brother, help me out and go down to pluck that medicine for me . ”

“Why are you making me go?” Shi Hao asked .

“There is no why . I’m telling you to go, so go . ” The winged teenager had a smile on his face, but he was already displaying a type of intimidation .

Shi Hao understood immediately . He was considered a servant, making him stumped for words . This was just too conceited, right?

“You… came from outside this region?”

“Correct” The young man nodded his head . His pupils flickered, and a lofty attitude was concealed within .

“Does coming from another region make you superior?” Shi Hao asked .

“What are you trying to say?” The young man was not pleased, and his fighting intent shot up . It seemed to create some more disturbances within the magma lakes below .

“Nothing really . Go, pluck that Blue Lotus for me . ” Shi Hao said in a calm and natural manner . He said it in the exact same manner as the other party previously did .

“You…” The young man’s face became overcast and he prepared to attack .

Of course, this battle was unavoidable . Shi Hao wanted to try what he just saw . This individual came from outside the region, so by fighting him, he could understand how powerful the people from the great regions were .

Shi Hao was surprised . This person was quite powerful and was definitely not someone a normal person could defeat . With a flap of the opponent’s wind and thunder wings, lightning surged like an ocean, making it difficult for others to fight back .

However, he encountered Shi Hao, who was a supreme youth who established ten heavenly passages . After exchanging twenty blows, he was sent flying by a palm .

The teenager spat out a mouthful of blood . He fiercely resisted, but was still suppressed by Shi Hao without being able to move a single step .

“Go, pick the lotus . Don’t damage it . ” Shi Hao threw him down .

“You… my family’s master will kill you!” The young man was reluctant to admit his mistake . His arrogance turned into resentment as he shouted here .

Shi Hao was astonished . This youngster was indeed unordinary, but he was only a lesser character . Just how powerful were the characters from outside this region? However, he still remained fearless, feeling that the more formidable they were, the greater he could improve himself .

“You should just go and pick the medicine . ” Shi Hao spoke, as if he was ordering someone below him . His voice sounded quite natural .

The young man’s face fell ashen as he approached the surface of the lake . He grabbed towards the lotus medicine, but he naturally wouldn’t give it to Shi Hao . He wanted to immediately use it after plucking it or even destroy it .

However, as soon as he made contact with the surface of the magma, a whirlpool appeared, that completely swallowed him into the magma lake . He cried out in shock, and dark red blood splashed high into the air .

There was a mansion below the lake, and currently, it was opened wide . Symbols flickered below it . Regardless of whether it was the lake or the magma that formed, it was all created by it .

“Divine manor!”

There was someone who cried out in shock and quickly rushed over .

“Divine Manors are palace rooms left behind by the ancients and is extremely suited for comprehending the dao and cultivating . Cultivating inside for a few days is similar to cultivating outside for several months . ” There was someone whose breathing was becoming heavy . Within the Fire Clan ancestral ground, palace rooms like these would appear from time to time, and each time, it would lead to a huge battle .

Every Divine Manor could only be cultivated within for a short period of time before it collapsed by itself and sank into ruin . However, it still made people madly scramble for this place . Several days of effort was equivalent to months of bitter cultivation, so everyone longed for a chance like this .

If one was lucky, there would even be some inheritances and other things contained within the Divine Manor . They were all creations of the ancients, mysterious and powerful .

Human figures flashed past, and over ten people rushed over on precious artifacts from all the different directions . A battle unfolded, and all of them were staring at the Divine Manor within that lake with passionate eyes .

Shi Hao was naturally moved as well . He truly needed this kind of cultivation ground!
