Alex wanted to become a Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior before making his move, however, he didn't expect to consume so much Earthly Spirit Milk.
If he wants to subdue the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch, he had to at least become a Crystal Transformation Stage martial warrior.
That's why, after thinking for a while, Alex decided to continue cultivating.
However, just as he was about to cultivate again, he suddenly felt the ground shaking heavily. Alex was stunned and hurriedly looked at his surroundings, only to find that the ground was crumbling rapidly and was spreading in every direction. There seemed to be an abyss that suddenly formed because of the crumbling of the ground.
If Alex continued to cultivate, he'll definitely fall into the abyss. Thus, he hurriedly stood up and executed his movement skill to run.
Six hours later, Alex was outside the cave where he fought Lightning Beasts. The cave had also crumbled, but after that, the peace once again returned. Everything stopped.
It seemed that the crumbling of the ground was related to him obtaining the key and other treasures. The person who created this maze was really benevolent. He didn't make it so that the home ground of Tribe of Tomorrow will crumble immediately after someone obtains the treasure, they made it so that it'll be destroyed only after a few months.
Taking a deep breath, Alex calmed down and looked at his surroundings. Now that he was already out, Alex decided to return to the huge building and enter the corridor before cultivating once again.
However, it was at this moment that he saw a light flashing at a distance.
Alex frowned. He knew the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch has appeared. He looked at it and once again, an attribute panel appeared in front of Alex's eyes.
[Name: Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch.
Rank: Emperor Rank.
Details: To uncover the secrets of the maze and to find the Stone of Tomorrow, an Extreme Void Stage Level 9 martial warrior, who was called Blue Monarch, entered the maze. He was the first person who dared to enter the maze to uncover the truth. However, he was trapped inside the maze and no matter how much he tried, he failed to get out.
Since he could not get out, he started looking for the Stone of Tomorrow with all his heart. Just like that, he spent ten years. And in the end, later, he did discover the place where the Stone Of Time was hidden. However, before he could enter that place, he accidentally activated the Curse Formation and was petrified on the spot.
Before the Blue Monarch was petrified into a stone statue, he released the Devouring Flame that he had refined by sacrificing half of his soul in the past. Blue Monarch's intention behind releasing this Devouring Flame was to let it devour all the creatures that it could find inside the maze and become stronger. If it could break past the Emperor Rank, it would be able to break the curse and Blue Monarch will regain his freedom.
Note: If anyone could subdue the Devouring Flame, it could lead that person to the location of Stone ofc Tomorrow!]
"Looks like I have to take action right now!"
Alex intently looked at the Devouring Flame that had already appeared 30 meters away from him. It was still dashing at him.
Alex immediately took action.
.....
"Phuuu!"
"We are finally out!"
President James, Vice President Viresh, Marco, Maria, Alvaro, and other people of the Alchemist Association took deep breaths as they looked at the waterfall falling from above.
After many turns of events, Viresh finally met President James. At that time, Marco had yet to return. After Marco returned, they started their journey to outside the Waterfall of Tomorrow.
When Marco returned, they were shocked to see that his cultivation has already reached Martial Emperor Stage. Moreover, his alchemy skills had also increased tremendously.
When they asked the reason, Marco replied that he had obtained a fortuitous encounter as well as the inheritance of a Void Martial Stage martial artist. That Void Martial Stage martial artist was actually an alchemist as well. Because of the inheritance, his alchemy skills also took a huge leap. He was now an Alchemy Grandmaster now.
Yes, the tomb that Marco entered previously was not the tomb of a Martial Emperor, but the tomb of a Void Martial Stage alchemist. All those people had misunderstood that the owner of the tomb was a Martial Emperor in his heyday.
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this. It means that in the Pill Assembly of Three Cultivation Lands, there is a very high chance for their branch of Alchemist Association to top.
After more than half a month of traveling, they finally managed to walk out of the maze.
"There are only two and a half months left before the Pill Assembly will start. Let's return!"
Everyone nodded their heads and fly away.
Before Viresh left, he turned to look at the entrance of the maze and muttered: "I hope you can return safely!"
.....
"Damn, I thought I was going to be devoured!"
Alex was gasping for breath. He was too tired, for he had used up all his Chaos Energy facing the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch. He had to take out all his trump cards except for Ancient Sovereign Bloodline, Godfiend Phantom Body, and unique abilities.
But even so, he almost failed to subdue the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch, and almost got himself burned.
Fortunately, at a critical moment, enlightenment came to him, and his comprehension of Fire Law was boosted. In a short moment, his comprehension of Fire Law increased by 5%.
The most assuring thing was that he finally managed to subdue the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch.
Waving his hand, a blue flame appeared on his hand. With the help of this flame, he could now devour other people's cultivation. This flame is really a terrifying treasure.
The most terrifying thing about this treasure is that, after subduing it, Alex tried to replicate it and was overjoyed to see that he was really able to replicate this treasure with his powerful soul. But after replicating the Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch, he felt extremely tired, to the point where he almost fainted.
It was too dangerous.
Fortunately, the subdued Devouring Flame of Blue Monarch provided him some help infusing the soul force that it had collected all these years after devouring countless people and demonic beasts. This allowed Alex to recover immediately.
After that, he released both Devouring Flames of Blue Monarch to see what will happen when they see each other. He was again shocked to witness a mystical scene. Both Devouring Flames actually started to fight in order to devour each other. But even after a long time, none of them won.
Lastly, they started fusing together and suddenly evolved.
Alex looked at the blue flame in his hand and a new attribute panel appeared in front of him. The current attribute panel was almost 50% different from the previous one.
[Name: Devouring Flame.
Rank: Void Rank.
Details: A cursed Extreme Void Stage martial warrior called Blue Monarch released the Devouring Flame that he had refined by sacrificing half of his soul before petrifying into a stone statue. His intention behind releasing this Devouring Flame was to let it devour all the creatures that it could find inside the maze and become stronger. If it could break past the Emperor Rank, it would be able to break the curse and Blue Monarch will regain his freedom.
The Devouring Flame could devour any life. It could also devour a person's cultivation base and transfer it to its master. It could also attack and defend for its master. It already possesses its own free will and consciousness.
Note: The Devouring Flame could lead its master to the location of Stone of Tomorrow!]
Alex laughed out loud when he saw this attribute panel. He found yet another way to increase his cultivation base rapidly in a short period of time.
But of course, although he is no saint, he is also not evil. He will not harm anyone just for his own benefit. He decided to devour the cultivation base of only those people who'll try to harm and kill him.
Before leaving this place, Alex once again glanced at his own attribute panel. At this moment, a new row has appeared there.
