The Fire Spirit Pearl finally chose its side; it supports the humans who refuse to give up on the Fire Elent Path until death.
At the sa ti, following Hou Niao’s advice, the Fire Elent Power began to spread from the volcano on Mo Island in all directions. Using the power of the Fire Spirit Pearl, Hou Niao sent out a call for help to the other four beads.
The danger is not truly past; this is just a good start. After being beaten for several monts, he finally greeted the opportunity for a desperate counterattack.
The Fire Worshiping Beast did not truly realize what danger it would face next. It was quite dissatisfied with the Fire Spirit Pearl standing with humans at the last mont, but dissatisfaction aside, it had no better thod.
In front of the Fire Spirit Pearl, its status and Hou Niao’s were essentially the sa; it couldn’t influence the Fire Spirit Pearl’s choice.
Although it is unclear where the threat originates, the intuition of an Innate being is unparalleled. It knew its ti was running out, and if it didn’t seize the opportunity to reach the Upper Realm, it might never have such a chance again.
The previously separated fireballs of the Fire Worshiping Beast were getting fewer. After a period of coalescence, they recombined into over a dozen large flas; when they truly rged, that would be the mont the Fire Worshiping Beast reached the Upper Realm Nascent Soul level.
Although Daoists like Zhi Xuan were knowledgeable and well-read, sothing like the Fire Worshiping Beast is unique in the Universe, and they couldn’t fully understand its true attributes and characteristics. They could only infer from the commonality of fire beasts but didn’t expect what the Fire Worshiping Beast’s fiery phenonon would be.
It was actually composed of countless small wedges of Exotic Fire from a remote celestial body, naturally gifted in separating and rging fire, leading to the reality that their efforts instead benefited the Fire Worshiping Beast.
These dozen or so Exotic Fires were rging with each other, decreasing in number... anwhile, in response to Hou Niao’s summons, the Five Elents Power was converging on Mo Island.
Both sides were racing against ti, seconds ticking away. The Fire Worshiping Beast was down to the final fusion of two Exotic Fires, while the four paths of the Five Elents Power beca increasingly clear.
... Not far from the volcano’s mouth, the Daoists had made final preparations. Everyone had their responsibilities. Considering the possibility of the Fire Worshiping Beast successfully reaching the Upper Realm Nascent Soul, the Daoists decided to relay and lure it into the desert.
This was a very complex task. No one knew what changes might occur during the process, nor how it might affect people’s lives along the way.
On the path, starting from the Southeast, it would have to cross through the various countries in the Southwest before finally entering the Northwest, and only then reaching the Kneecap Desert.
"Should we notify the Southwest first?" Tianfeng hesitated.
Zhi Xuan gave him a thoughtful look, "It’s best not to notify them; otherwise, if the Sword Sect takes action to hunt the Fire Worshiping Beast, it could create complications."
Tianfeng was about to speak further but suddenly stopped, carefully discerning before expressing his astonishnt,
"That’s not right; it seems that the Five Elents Power is gathering towards the volcano! It’s not surprising for the Fire Worshiping Beast to use the Fire Spirit Pearl to assist its ascension, but can it control other Five Elents Powers too?"
Not only did he find it strange, but the other Daoists also sensed it. Guzhu couldn’t comprehend it,
"This seems beyond what the Fire Worshiping Beast is capable of, right? Should we send soone down to take a look?"
Before the words fell, the volcano’s mouth suddenly erupted with scorching lava and billowing smoke, with orange flas mixed in, the entire fire rising tens of feet high, leaping higher and higher as if it were a giant torch.
The volcanic earth veins had been pierced through, which was the scenario they most feared.
There’s no explaining what the limits of cultivation are to a Fire Worshiping Beast because it never cultivates and doesn’t consider causality.
Zhi Xuan watched the soaring flas and sighed, "It’s too late; everyone prepare. It won’t be long before the Fire Worshiping Beast erges from the volcano’s mouth; its objective is to turn the entire Continent into a sea of fire, as it wishes."
To lure away the now powerful Fire Worshiping Beast, the initial attack is crucial; it needs to be hurt, provoke it, cause it to lose reason. To achieve this, the Daoists prepared nurous thods and treasures.
For these elites from various worlds, who’ve traversed the Universe to undertake this mission, everyone has sothing in reserve. Now there’s no ti to hide their skills; letting Jinxiu’s ordinary people incur enormous losses ans they can’t escape the causality.
The lava eruption seed endless. Soon, the entire Mo Island was covered with a thick layer of lava, with no signs of it stopping.
The flas rose higher and higher, stabilizing at a hundred feet high, and the color transford from bright yellow to scarlet red. According to the Cultivation World’s categorization of fla colors, bright yellow is the lowest, followed sequentially by scarlet, deep blue... the ultimate color is green, which falls under the realm of Immortal Fire.
For Innate Fire Beast Essence, bright yellow roughly corresponds to the Foundation Establishnt Realm, scarlet to Golden Core, which is the current color. If the flas turn blue afterwards, it would prove the Fire Worshiping Beast has successfully reached the Upper Realm.
Being an Innate Exotic Beast, which was cut down from a high Realm, the ascension won’t be tested by the Heavenly Dao; it’s a normal return, thoroughly expected.
The Daoists tensely watched the fla color transformation, praying it stops at the scarlet phase. This way, they’d still have a chance.
But things didn’t go as hoped. After stabilizing at scarlet for a while, a wisp of blue appeared within the hundred-foot burning torch, subtle but unmistakable to the cultivators’ sight.
Realizing hope had shattered, the Daoists all sighed inwardly. This result wasn’t particularly a surprise; being once a Demi Immortal, how could it fail at ascending to the Upper Realm Nascent Soul?
The blue within the flas grew more, from strands to clusters, visible from afar in the night. If placed on the sea, it would be the best beacon, but on Mo Island, so close to the coastline, it’s awkward.
A mont later, the entire fla column turned completely blue, an unspoken oppressive feeling unsettling the Daoists surrounding it.
Under ordinary circumstances like these, once the blue torch stabilizes fully, it signifies the Fire Worshiping Beast’s ascension is nearing completion. Afterwards, it surely won’t remain by the volcano; it would roam about, burning forests and steaming lakes, typical behaviors of Exotic Beasts.
The blue flas underwent more changes, the vast fla sotis morphing into a human face, other tis becoming an utterly baffling mystic beast, never settling.
This characterized the Fire Spirit Beasts, as they inherently lack form; if one must define a shape, it’s a mass of flas.
It transforms according to its emotions, morphing into anything it’s seen before.
"Why hasn’t it left the volcano’s mouth; is it reluctant?"
Ye Bai posed a question weighing on everyone’s minds.
