"Yonggan'er!?"

The youth started when a voice came over his ears.

In the midst that, a strong flame of elemental energy quickly gathers on the center of Wingless Flame Dragon's claw!

When the youth saw the gathering of elemental energy, his eyes widens and could only reluctantly released his grip on his spear as he crossed his two arms.

Boom!

The strong flame elemental energy exploded as it reached its limit; the youth was blown away and the embedded spear was left behind underneath the claws of the Wingless Flame Dragon.

Kuuhk-ha!

As he flew away from the demonic beast, he couldn't control himself but to coughed up blood several times. With the distance so near, he was clearly heavily injured internally and externally. From his elbows towards his hands were charred black and even the hood that covers his face was burnt to dust while his red colored robe was almost turned to ragged, as a large black marks was on his robe and even his skin was burnt severely.

Luckily he survives and was still breathing but half of his face was burnt badly that it was undescernible.

Though he has a high affinity of flame elemental energy, the one who cast the flame was at the Horizon Realm!

Thud!

Mo Chisheng catches the youth behind and a flash of red light from his right hand having a red interspatial ring, appears a red and green pills and stuffed it in the youth's mouth.

With a flick of Mo Chisheng's right hand again, a plain red-colored spear which was identical like the youth's spear!

Flash!

Mo Chisheng makes an incantation, and with a flash, the youth was enveloped with a spherical blazing flame and floats a few centimeters away from him.

Crackle!

With an intent, Mo Chisheng's weapon ignited and a flames wildly dances on the spear, with the ignition of his weapon was also the time which his disposition changed, his robe was replaced by a golden armor, and a cape that was made up of flames attached to his back.

"Fa…ther…I" Mo Yonggan was laying on the spherical walls of flame as he hardly spoke to his father.

"As long as you're alive it is fine, just recuperate there." Mo Chisheng waved his hand as he interrupted his son's words.

He then looked at the embedded spear on the demon beast's claw which was still blazing in flame. The demonic beast also looked at him as it feels his surging aura.

Whoosh!

"Hey young lad, it's not good in overestimating yourself too much. You even want to fight a dragon alone." Mo Jirou smiled at Mo Yonggan while standing beside Mo Chisheng and the other sectmaster and headmasters.

Weng weng weng…

Nine bright stars jump off from the old man Zhong's left hand, arranging itself behind him into an arc while the middle of the nine bright stars above old man Zhong's head was a flaming sun glowing brightly akin to a scintillating light that gives marvel and light in a dark place while the other eight was surrounded by a halo on its body that give a life-like beauty.

"Hey, Mo Chiseng, let's go?" old man Zhong itchingly asked.

Ka-Chink!

Whoosh!

Roar!

Overlapping sounds echoed, as a red mirage appears at the edge of Mo Jirou's axes while a wand appears on Yan Huoyan's left hand and a dragon was coilong silently below on old man Zhong's feet as if it was sleeping.

"Yes, let's go!" Mo Chisheng answered signalling them to start the fight as he blurred.

…

One thousand kilometers away from the great demonic beast, in the northern part of the dome. A youth was riding a flying trident as he balanced himself atop of it, like he was skateboarding, flying towards the north as he detour himself away from the Wingless Flame Dragon.

Chen Yun was the youth who was riding the flying trident.

Boom!

Bababang!

Wroaaaa!

Even with a distance of thousand kilometer, he can still hear the sounds of battle against the demonic beast. Different flashes of respective attacks from the five Horizon Realm practitioners appear on every angle in front of the demonic beast from time to time and with the level of such battle was so intense as if he was watching a Hollywood movie from his past world.

But he just glanced at the battle as if he didn't care what would be the end of it, as he firmly believes that they can handle it.

Behind the demonic beast where the Fiery Pillar Tree stood, his gaze landed, he can now clearly see the tree's appearance. The tree has nine levels, each level have a branch. In the first level, it has nine branches and as the level ascends the one branch was reduced. Each of its branch has a dense red colored leaves that emits a faint yellow glow. Its branches aligns in vertical arrangement.

The tree's bark was made up of an obsidian gemstone as the five meters gap of the bark was bright orange like a vein of a human's and a lava was moving from the gap as it rose upwards flowing through.

While the large and exposed roots that twisted around of Fiery Pillar Tree snake through the ground while some dug deep into the lake made up of lava. The same with its gap on its bark, it has also a vein-like lava on each of its root.

According to a book which highly tells about this Fiery Pillar Tree, in order to ascend the Fiery Pillar Tree's branch and pluck out the red glowing fruit which looks like an apple, a cultivator needs to trek the twisting roots as it spiral around the tree's trunk, and start there, the practitioner can jump off upwards and use the bark's gap to climb it. The level of danger was not too high and only to watch out for an exploding lava from time to time that flows freely in the gap.

Thus, without dallying any further, Chen Yun urged the flying trident to hasten its speed, as it accelerated and headed directly to the nearest protruding root.

...

A while later, he arrives at the nearest tree's root and landed gracefully as he retrieved back the Peidon's Flying Trident back to his hands which quickly returned to its small size.

Now that he was standing below the Fiery Pillar Tree, he can feel the great magnificence and aloofness on how proud it was, just with this tree alone it could pillars this large dome.

When Chen Yun looked above, the Fiery Pillar Tree as if lifted its obsidian black-colored branches to the sky as its very presence was enough to support the heaviness of this dome while commanding the gravity to fall and bend its knees on its papery yellow-glowing red leaves. Its bark shone, aside from its blackness that creates a masterpiece of beauty like the right kind of gold, the sort that inspires an artist to paint the tree's picturesque using the artist's heady heights of imagination, while opening the doors to fantastical beauty of its fruit. It was no wonder that the Fiery Pillar Tree is where this demonic beast guards and lay dormant as it went into its transformation, when someone stays here and felt that he or she was lonely, with only the touch of the trunk and its strong branches may feel like a hug from the heavens above, soothing the negativity of ones feeling.

He was greatly awed to see the grandeur of the tree while many practitioners with different badges and symbols on their chest rushed using the root as a path and headed to the nearest branch.

Humph!

Someone suddenly snorted near where Chen Yun was standing and suddenly the youth who snorted rode using his flying tool and flew directly to the branch.

Bang!

Many was shocked and an idea flashed through their mind and wanted to also fly directly to the top. The youth was rebounded by an unknown force that forcibly push back the youth to the ground while coughing up blood, luckily, he was still breathing alive. And when the onlookers saw this, like a bucket cold of water, the plan that pops out from their mind diffused like smoke and instead riding their flying tools, they pressed onwards and headed on foot.

Before Chen Yun started to move, he blinks his eyes and his left eye turns white, he closed his right eye and then his vision turns black and white. He blinks his left eye again, one of the tree's root suddenly regained its color!

Chen Yun just recently found out that his left eye not only could see the elemental energy, he can also identify which path was way faster than the other like what he was doing.

He swiftly jump off from one root to another until he reached at the non-black-and-white colored root. From there, he didn't stopped moving as he accelerated his pace and swiftly climbed up and followed the tangled spherical root.

Cloud Hands Art: Clouded Step!

He channeled the only movement technique he knows as rainbow-colored fog appears on his feet that amplifies his speed much faster.

Whoosh!

While running, he looked up on the part of the tree where the root's end of its path was and he saw a first five practitioners to arrive. Base on the white colored spear and white colored robes they are wearing, they clearly the Dragon Spear Sect's disciple.

"Look, someone had first arrived at a bark's gap!" someone shouted in another root fifty meters away from the east of Chen Yun.

"Yeah, you're right!"

…

The Wingless Flame Dragon fighting against five martial practitioners was in an intense fight with the dragon and the five practitioners exchange attacks to each other.

Suddenly, the demon beast stop its movement and just passively received all the incoming barrage of attacks such as the laser beams of old man Zhong's Nine Astral System.

Rooaar!

Rumble!

The Wingless Flame Dragon roared angrily not because of the five enemies in front of it, instead, the Wingless Flame Dragon sensed something was amiss behind.

In order to ensure its guess, it turns around and saw that many youths started to climb up the enermous tree which the demonic beasts were protecting for these past years!

But the old fogeys martial practitioner will not let the Wingless Flame Dragon to have a chance to attack the juniors as they launch their respective special attacks.

A two overlaid equilateral triangles that form a six-pointed star appears in front of Yan Huoyan as he waved his black colored wand in front of him.

"Six Infernal Ray Formation!" Yan Huoyan shouted while he cast the formation, as it glows intensely in red.

Bang!

A six-pointed star beam rushed towards the Wingless Flame Dragon's chest as its target.

Thrum!

The earth quakes, while the lake made up of lava, pounced intensely in great heights as the giant Wingless Flame Dragon was pushed back from the attack of Yan Huoyan.

"Nine Ecliptic Alignment!" old man Zhong shouted as he waved his fan in front of him followed by the aligned nine stars above him as it shot through the demon beast.

Bang! Bang! Bang! …

Mao Baojun didn't uttered any words but he snorted and thrust his spear directed on the Wingless Flame Dragon then a manifestation of a dragon appears on the tip of his spear as it spiraled towards the demon beast.

Whoosh whoosh!

A crossed red colored wind slash came from Mo Jirou's twin axes flew toward the Wingless Flame Dragon but it didn't just stopped there as he frantically hacked his axes, throwing a barrage of wind slashes to the demon beast.

While Mo Chisheng was wielding a two red plain spear on his both hands while silently floats above the grounds as his cape was swaying by the shock waves of the other Horizon Realm's attacks. He just recently retrieved back the plain looking red spear which his son, Mo Yonggan owns.

But a while later, he moves as he rotates the two red spears while he crossed his arms and then waves it upwards; the red plain spears vibrated and fantastically elongated itself upwards while Mo Chisheng hammered it downwards intending to hit the Wingless Flame Dragon.

From afar, he looks like a flying ant who wields two long red sticks against a large worm.

BaBang!
