Chapter 1227 – Old Man
In the far west.
This place was even further west than the Great Thunder Lake Temple where the Buddhist Sect resided, and one could only reach this place after passing through the hottest desert. Not to mention ordinary people, even mid-level demonic beasts did not dare to rush in. Even if they had thick and coarse skin and had innate abilities, they would still be burnt to ashes in this place called the Broken Falling Flame Mountain.
It was said that a long, long time ago, this place was not a desert, buowering mountain. According to legend, this mountain was nine thousand meters high, reaching into the sky. The mountain stretched for thousands of miles. It was the largest mountain range in the far west.
There was not a single blade of grass growing on the mountain. Even the stones were different from other mountains. The mountain was covered with a layer of transparent, seemingly faint flames all year round. However, other than the local fire-type demonic beasts, there was nothing else on the mountain that could survive.
There had once been an immortal that did not believe it and planned to climb the mountain to break that rumor. However, he had only taken four steps up the mountain before he was incinerated by the raging inferno. At a distance of four steps, he tried to escape but failed. He only took one step and he turned into ashes.
Some people called it Blazing Mountain, while others called it Buried Immortal Mountain.
Afterwards, for some reason, such a majestic and magnificent mountain suddenly collapsed into pieces. There was not even a rock as big as a fist left behind, turning into a desert that stretched for thousands of miles.
The mountains were gone, and the translucent flames seemed to be gone as well. But the invisible flames were even more terrifying.
A gigantic Golden Scale Eagle with the strength of a high-level demon beast flew to the edge of the desert, eyes filled with greed. In its line of sight, in the scorching desert, a weed actually grew. It looked similar to an orchid. At this moment, the flower bud had already slowly bloomed, and the flower was about to bloom.
On the leaves of the flowers, the buds were covered within layer of flame, a terrifying purple color.
Everyone knew that in this world, purple was revered. No matter what it was, once it naturally turned into purple, it could not be underestimated. The Golden Scaled Eagle paced back and forth at the edge of the desert, it waiece of immortal grass. Once the immortal grass was fully grown, it would immediately break through the barrier and take human form, entering the immortal palace.
This was the dream of all the demonic beasts. The demonic clan had fallen for too long, and every single demonic clan member would carefully hide themselves, fearing that they would be discovered by those terrifying human cultivators. In the era when demon beasts ran amok, humans were their food. And now, the Demonic Beast Cores in their bodies werhing that humans yearned for even in their dreams.
Walk over?
The Golden Scaled Eagle continued to circle in a circle. It couldn’t help but want to rush in, but it always stopped due to fear of the Flame Desert. As time passed, the petals gradually unfurled. The flame orchid only bloomed for two minutes. After two minutes, it would wither and move on to the next cycle. It would take at least three thousand years for it to bloom again.
Seeing the petals open up one by one, the Golden Scaled Eagle finally couldn’t hold itself back anymore. It raised its head and gave a cry to the sky. Its body was instantly covered in a thick and dazzling golden armor. This armor was formed from all its Cultivation Power, and its speed was one of the top level demon beasts. It was sure that if it was given a second, it would charge into the desert to pluck that flame orchid.
One second. Just one second.
The Golden Scaled Eagle gaviss before opening its wings and rushing in.
Actually, its estimation was conservative. With its speed, it would not even need a second to go from the inside to the outside of the cave.
It flew in, and in a thousandth of a second, the armor it had formed outside its body was incinerated. The blazing flames instantly burnt off its feathers, followed by its skin and flesh. After two thousandths of a second, with a “pa” sound, the hundred-meter long skeleton fell onto the ground. Its flesh and fur were all gone, and cracks began to appear on its surface.
A high level demonic beast that was about to break through into the Immortal Realm could only last two thousandth of a second.
With a kacha sound, a foot covered in long, purplish-brown hair stepped down, shattering the shattered skeleton. When the foot landed, an invisible flame appeared and tried to burn the foot. The sound of breaking bones was as piercing as the sound of stepping on glass.
Kacha, kacha, kacha …
A monkey covered in long, purplish-brown hair walked over, its long fur flapping up in the heat, as if it were on fire. He didn’t seem to care about the fire that could burn everything. He casually walked over, and when he reached the flame orchid, he leaned over to grab it. Then, he took it off and put it in his mouth.
Fierce Teeth stuck out his lips, making his face look somewhat sinister.
His blood-red eyes seemed to be filled with an overweeningly arrogant and untamed will.
He held the orchid in his hand and bit down on it like he was eating meat. Clearly, this beautiful looking Flaming Orchid was not that easy to eat. A burst of energy appeared in his mouth like an electric spark.
As he ate, he finished the Flaming Orchid before finally reaching his destination.
No one would have thought that there would be a lake in this forbidden zone. The temperature here was so high that ordinary people would not be able to withstand it even if they were a few hundred meters away from the edge of the desert. If they could hold on for a few seconds, their bodies would be on fire. How could there be water at sucemperature?
It looked like a stretch of blue lake water. It was so calm that not a single fold could be seen on it. There was no wind, and the lake seemed likeerless beauty who was hiding in the depths of the desert and didn’t want to see anyone. She carefully hid her beauty, not showing it to anyone.
The corner of Monkey’s mouth widened into a grin, and his fangs became even more terrifying.
“Found you.”
He smiled, his eyes bright.
He squatted down by the lake and put his finger close to the lake. The moment his fingertip touched the lake water, a blue wave suddenly attacked and instantly burnt the long, purplish brown hair on the back of his finger.
Monkey immediately retracted his hand, lifted his finger, and rotated it in front of his eyes.
It wasn’t water at all, but the most terrible fire in the world.
Hellfire.
“Don’t you remember me?”
Monkey squatted there and muttered to himself as he looked at the lake, “Back then when you were imprisoned in the fire mountain furnace, I was the one who broke that broken furnace and released you. At that time, you will repay me with kindness, wanting to refine me intart of your power. Unfortunately, at that time, you could only tremble in front of me. ”
Monkey sat down cross-legged and moved his hand across the surface of the lake. The distance between him and the lake was about ten centimeters. As his hand shifted, a layer of blue flames chased after his hand through the lake.
“He’s still as rebellious as ever.”
The corner of Monkey’s mouth curled up as his smile turned into a domineering one.
“Just like me … You and I are the most rebellious things in the world. “I am a stone spirit and you are a fire spirit. When you wanted to tame me, I wanted to tame you. In the end, it wasn’t me who won.”
Suddenly, the lake water started to undulate. Following which, a humanoid shape slowly emerged from the lake, as if it was a water human … This was a visual deception, but it was actually the world’s most terrifying fire.
“Damn monkey, you still dare to come?”
The Flame Essence narrowed its eyes as it looked at the monkey. It seemed as if it was unsatisfied. One could see that its eyes were filled with resentment towards the monkey. The grudge between the two of them could be traced back tens of thousands of years ago, when that unparalleled great battle ended with Monkey’s final laughter.
“Why would I not dare to come?”
Monkey laughed, his fangs flashing.
As he looked at the Flame Essence with his blood-red eyes, there wasn’t a single trace of emotion in them.
“You’re so much weaker.”
The Flame Essence started to sneer, “It seems like your encounters these past years weren’t very good. The you back then, was the Qi Tian who no one under heaven or earth would accept. Weak aouse cat that has been dyed with human hair. ”
Monkey grinned. “Your mouth is even more venomous than it was tens of thousands of years ago. Maybe you forgot why you were beaten up last time.”
The Flame Essence laughed, “What else do you have? What do you think you can rely on? Back then, you were too arrogant, so you went to the immortal palace to stir up trouble. Those immortal-looking people actually didn’t dare to stand out and fight you, because they all wished for someone else to die in your hands. “Do you think you’re invincible and want to find trouble with Buddha …”
“No, it was the Buddha who caused me trouble.”
The monkey was still laughing, and then he lay back down on the desert floor. To him, the blazing temperature was like sitting on a hot brick bed in the dead of winter. His back was warm, just right.
“Hahahahaha …” Are you still so self-righteous as to find trouble with the Buddha? In the eyes of Buddha, no matter how strong you are, you are just a stone spirit. With a flip of the Buddha’s hand, he can crush you with a single hand. ”
“No, no, no, you’re wrong.”
Monkey smiled and said, “If I can’t beat him, I can’t. At that time, the Buddha did not crush me with one hand, but with one finger.”
He sat up and looked at the Flame Essence. “In that case, aren’t you even inferior to me? A single hair of the Buddha’s is enough to crush you to death.”
“I will not provoke the Buddha.”
“So you never change.”
Monkey stood up and stretched his limbs.
“Give it to me.”
He held out his hand.
The Flame Essence snorted. “What do you want?”
“Two things.”
Monkey extended his first finger. “You!”
He then extended his second finger. “My sky-upholding iron rod.”
The Flame Essence frowned. “How did you know that it was with me?”
Monkey pointed to his heart. “Because it has the same root as me, I can find it no matter where it is. Do you think that just by transforming into a lake of fire you can block its aura? Mine, is mine. ”
The Flame Essence suddenly sank into the lake, leaving behind a sneer, “If you have the ability to take it, then I want to see on what basis you, who are currently so weak, can defeat me and take away the sky-upholding iron rod? What makes you so convinced!”
Monkey took a deep breath, then began to move his limbs as if he were doing gymnastics.
His voice was slightly hoarse, but it wasn’t hard to hear.
“Idiot, if I was afraid of your fire, I wouldn’t have come.”
He stretched, swung his arms, and pressed his legs. After about two minutes of stretching, he suddenly jumped up and jumped into the lake. What was produced was not a splash, but a wave of fire shooting into the sky. It was the Hellfire. It came from the Infernal Realm, and was capable of burning everything.
Not just anything, but business.
Everyone had their own businesses, both good and evil. The hellfire waellfire that burned through everything. Regardless of whether one was a good person or a bad person in their previous life, a good cause, or a sinful cause, once one entered hell and was burned by the hellfire, everything would be wiped clean, leaving nothing behind. This karmic fire could burn a person’s past, and monkeys were not here to die.
“I’ve come to retrieve my things, my past.”
The monkey went under the lake fire, and soon after, the whole lake began to boil. Bubbles appeared one after another, and the flames were like angry dragons that shot up into the sky. Strangely, after a few seconds, the lake suddenly froze. How terrifying was the thing that could freeze the Hellfire? However, this power did not last long. It had only been frozen for a mere 1% of a second.
Enough.
“I was cultivating in the extreme north of this cold land witundred thousand years of ice. I was waiting for this moment.”
Boom! *
The lake exploded intuge wave of fire, sending the monkeys soaring into the sky.
He floated in the air and held onto an iron rod that was like magma. He raised his head and took a deep breath. The Flame Essence in the lake turned into two streams of air that entered his nose.
A moment later, wituff, a layer of deep purple flames appeared on the monkey’s body.
His Hellfire.
Monkey lowered his head to look at the metal rod that had accompanied him for ten thousand years. He looked at it repeatedly before turning it around … Old man, let’s go.
