Chapter 188 Unexpected
This territory is now forbidden to those above the Hegemon. Only Hegemons are allowed to enter.
If any Demigods try to infiltrate, they will be beaten.
However, if the ones trying to infiltrate were Gods, it was a different case.
Things can get more than just difficult because the power of the Gods cannot be stopped except by the Gods themselves.
The problem is how many Gods are watching over this place?
Ciel only knew that Rin was on the Eternal Desert Continent of the Realm of Life, she might go berserk if a god infiltrated, but even she could not do anything if more gods infiltrated, especially if they were from other Realms.
In the Eternal Desert Continent of other realms, there were not necessarily any Gods guarding and if there were, they would not necessarily act.
What was worse was that some of them might also use the power of fire.
Even the unlikely ones would be attracted.
Given all that, it was only natural that then Mu Yixue was worried.
Ciel wasn't worried, but he had to admit that it would be troublesome.
"We're not going back, and trust that I can guarantee the safety of all of us," Ciel said in response to calm Mu Yixue with his confidence.
Actually, the World Soul was not so necessary for Ciel, he could go back and cultivate right away, but he didn't want to miss another opportunity.
Plus, he could move around while trying to fuse with the Heavenly Flame Gems, so there was no problem in continuing here.
After that, he and Mu Yixue approached the ghost who tried to kill Ciel, Arun.
Seeing Ciel and Mu Yixue together, he couldn't help but be frightened, too obvious from his face.
"Do you know something?" Ciel asked him.
The point of his question was the reason Zaden paid him to kill him.
Arun immediately shook his head as he replied, "no, I swear that I don't know anything."
"Ciel, let's just kill him," Mu Yixue said suddenly, showing her nature as an Ice Palace disciple.
When she was the one speaking, Arun was even more frightened because he knew that Mu Yixue had no qualms about it.
"W-wait, wait, I'll pay for my mistake," he said hurriedly.
"Killing you means we get everything you have," Mu Yixue replied.
The woman looked coldly into Arun's eyes before looking at Ciel, waiting for his response.
"Alright!" Ciel nodded after a moment's thought.
In a place like this, not killing an enemy you've captured is a bit too strange, so agreed to Mu Yixue's suggestion. Plus, Arun was just an insignificant ghost, Ciel didn't care about his life and death.
Upon seeing his nod, Mu Yixue immediately took action.
The ice binding Arun's body suddenly began to fuse with his body, turning the ghost body into ice.
"Ahhh..." Arun began to scream in pain while fear turned into anger.
Before completely becoming ice, he shouted to Mu Yixue, "you bitch, you'll be a bitch in the future!"
What he said raised Mu Yixue's anger to another level.
He became ice in an instant then exploded into countless small pieces. Each piece continued to shatter until it became as small as dust until there was really nothing left.
Many ghosts were frightened by the sight so some of them chose to leave immediately, worried about becoming Mu Yixue's target to vent her anger.
However, Mu Yixue also calmed down very quickly.
The object that angered her was dead, so her anger was also gone. She was not the type who would take her anger out on others.
The Ice Word on her forehead and the ice wings on her back disappeared as she calmed down, leaving her cultivation to remain at the Hegemon Ninth Stage.
At this moment, the Ice Palace disciples approached them and praised Mu Yixue one by one, except for Mei Mei who looked displeased.
Thalia and the members of the Elven Race remained in their own group while Yasmin approached Ciel at a slower pace.
Unlike the others, the fact that Mu Yixue could evolve to become stronger did not make her show any reaction, as if it did not matter at all to her.
"Prince, congratulations on getting the Holy Pagoda Flame and the Holy Bone Flame, you are getting closer to the word invincible," said Yasmin, instantly comforting Ciel.
Afterward, she even smiled at Mu Yixue.
"Miss Mu, I you know you're amazing."
Being praised like that, even if Mu Yixue didn't like Yasmin's existence, she still found it hard to be cold to her.
In the end, she pretended to nod, not wanting to appear to be bragging about her advantages.
"Let's move now," Ciel said, not wanting to stay here any longer.
He and the others then mounted their camels again.
Their destination was still unclear as there had been no news of the World Soul until now. Ciel only ordered Ahong to lead the way to places where the World Soul might appear.
To date, no one had seen the World Soul, so no one could be sure where they would go.
At the same time, news of the things done by Ciel quickly spread.
He had defeated a fire dragon, killed an assassin from the Ghost Race, defeated Zaden, a member of the Heaven Race with ease, and even obtained two extremely powerful Holy Flames.
It had all happened in such a short period of time that it left many people speechless, not expecting that someone could do so much.
And obtaining those two Holy Flames was too amazing for the Hegemons.
Because it was important information, so they also sent a message to their sects or clans.
This ultimately attracted the attention of many Gods.
What they questioned was the method Ciel relied on to obtain the flames.
Meanwhile, Rin and Kaiya sat in a restaurant, eating while occasionally gazing south, to the center of the continent.
Both had heard about what Ciel was doing, so they seemed to be thinking of a solution.
"Senior Sister, this is a difficult problem," Kaiya said to Rin.
The latter nodded in agreement.
While stuffing a piece of meat into her mouth, she said, "I'm afraid if many move, even if Senior Sister is here, we still can't stop everyone."
She naturally meant the first disciple of the Ice Goddess as she was the only one she would call Senior Sister.
"Actually the most worrisome is that old man, the Thousand Flame God. If he makes a move, he could create a disaster," Rin added.
The person Rin was referring to was a God with the most powerful fire power, coming from the Realm of Dao. He was not a Supreme God because until now there had been no Supreme God with the power of fire.
He was basically still in the Second Stage of the God Realm, but he was already above the other Second Stages as well.
That stage is often called the Half-Step of the Supreme God.
Most who were at this stage were old Gods with deep accumulation but unable to break through.
The average of them could easily suppress Second Stage Gods, even powerful ones like the Thunder God.
It's just that their numbers are very rare indeed.
It was said that he had many Holy Flames, but unfortunately of all the Holy Flames, the strongest one he had was only the one at Rank Nine.
On the other hand, Ciel has two, which have a higher rank. He would definitely be very tempted as it could increase his strength significantly. His chance of breaking through was huge.
"I heard that old man is the type who doesn't care about reputation," Kaiya said, looking somewhat worried.
"Huh, he often robs from the younger generation," Rin replied.
Right after saying that, Rin stared to the north with her eyes wide open.
"How is that possible," she said in a surprised tone.
Kaiya was somewhat puzzled, but a moment after she followed her gaze, her eyes also opened wide.
"Master," she said spontaneously.
Right now, the people of the Eternal Desert Continent could feel an extremely, extremely cold aura coming closer.
The aura was so strong that it worried many people.
Even the Life Light God was shivering.
"Ice Goddess, she really came, is it for that boy?" He wondered because at first he really hoped that disaster would come to Ciel after he got the fire.
The figure of the Ice Goddess could not be found by anyone, but people could feel the chill from her aura.
It was not limited to the side of the Realm of Life. It spread deep into the center of the continent and then reached the other realms so the people there knew that the Ice Goddess existed in the Eternal Desert Continent.
This could not have been more shocking because her arrival meant a warning to everyone not to do things they shouldn't.
Currently, the two Fire Gods of the Heaven Realm flying high in the sky looked at each other.
They moved in a hidden manner so that their faces and bodies could not be seen except by themselves.
"The Ice Goddess is coming, I'm afraid no one can act under her supervision," said one of them.
"I'm worried that we won't have a chance to escape if we are discovered by her," another replied.
The Ice Goddess was one of the most feared Supreme Gods, but for all Gods with the power of fire, their fear of her outweighed the others because her element was a fatal weakness for them.
The two Gods were certainly not the only ones, several other Gods with the same goal chose to stop since sensing the aura of the Ice Goddess.
However, among them, there was one who cursed.
"This damn little girl," the person said while gritting his teeth.
He was a thin and stooped old man, but surrounded by many visual phenomena of fire.
Flames of various colors surrounded his body, forming various things that made him seem very majestic.
He was of course the Thousand Flame God.
The Ice Goddess was indeed stronger than him, but when no one was around, he always referred to the Goddess as a little girl because when the latter was young, he was already a powerful God.
