Chapter 982 Enter the Kiln
"What sound is that?!" The yellow-browed man frowned and stared at the tumbling sea of fire around him coldly. That sound had entered their minds and was reverberating nonstop at the mont.
"Su…" the white-robed man that was the centipede with one thousand feet said faintly, and a barely noticeable glint shone in his eyes.
Fla Fiends' Progenitor narrowed his eyes while remaining crouched on Zhu You Cai's body. No one knew what sort of thoughts were in his mind.
Zhu You Cai shuddered lightly. He lowered his head and hid away the hint of complicated emotions that appeared on his face when that voice spoke.
"It is rumored that the master of the fifth kiln is called Su Xuan Yi. This person ca from the Fifth True World, and it is said that he ventured out with his wife in the past. From then on, he has never been seen again. Could this voice be the kiln calling out to its master?" the yellow-browed wondered aloud after contemplating it for a mont. When he spoke, he looked towards Reverend Zi Long.
Zi Long remained as calm as ever. He looked at the sea of fire in space and did not say a single word.
No one in the area noticed that Su Ming had also lowered his head at that mont. His eyes were shut, and he looked as if he was ditating, but in truth, he was hiding the hint of grief in his eyes.
'Even they know about Su Xuan Yi. Looks like the words of Dust Burners' Progenitor were real.' After a mont, the vague voice echoed in the area once more.
That single word that the voice spoke lingered for a long ti and did not disappear, as if it was truly calling out to its master. There was a deep, ancient air within it, causing those who heard it to be unable to help themselves but to find their hearts growing heavy.
Soon after, the people resud imrsing themselves in exercising their breathing and waited for the sea of fire in space to disperse. They simply allowed that indistinct voice to occasionally ring in their minds.
Su Ming closed his eyes, but his right hand had moved to his storage bag. There was a jade slip on his palm, and its contents appeared in Su Ming's mind.
The Resentful Wei stood proudly beside him and looked at the area and the people indifferently. It regarded all manner of lives with hostility, and even if Su Ming had already ford an agreent with it, it still found itself to not really be able to get used to it. However, it could sense that Su Ming truly valued it.
Most importantly, it sensed a similar loneliness and grief within Su Ming.
With the Resentful Wei around, Su Ming could be at ease and imrse himself within observing the map in his mind. It had been given to him by Dust Burners' Progenitor, and within it was a rather detailed description of the fifth kiln.
Inside it, there were ninety-nine balls of fire, and they were the reason why the fifth kiln was known as a kiln!
Each ball of fire contained a supre treasure, and when all ninety-nine of them were gathered together, they would form the vast power possessed by the fifth kiln.
Over the course of countless years of the fifth kiln being activated continuously and an endless stream of people entering it in hopes of obtaining a serendipity, so people managed to truly obtain a supre treasure. They extinguished the fire and took away the treasure.
Because of that, the fifth kiln gradually lost its power to move about and could only stay in a single spot in the galaxy. When all of its supre treasures were taken away, it would dissolve and disappear.
As of then, not even Dust Burners knew how many balls of fire were still within the fifth kiln, how many supre treasures were yet to be taken away.
Su Ming knew that the Almighties beside him were aiming for the supre treasures contained within the balls of fire that still remained.
Besides these ninety-nine balls of fire, there were nine hundred and ninety-nine complentary treasures. They ford the structure connecting the ninety-nine supre treasures, and not even a single one could be missing.
Over the years, these complentary treasures were the ones who were most commonly taken away.
The ninety-nine balls of fire ford ninety-nine big dinsions within the kiln, while the nine hundred and ninety-nine complentary treasures ford nine hundred and ninety-nine small dinsions. Even if the balls of fire were extinguished and the supre treasure within them taken away, their dinsions would still exist.
Each dinsion was a world, and there were ferocious beasts within them to protect the treasure. These ferocious spirits varied in strength, and it was often based on the might of the treasure itself.
A cultivator in Solar Kalpa Realm might be able to win against the spirit protecting an ordinary complentary treasure and obtain it, but if there was an incredibly powerful complentary treasure, the ferocious spirits within its dinsion would also be stronger.
If the treasure in the dinsion was taken away, the dinsion would remain, and so the ferocious spirits within it would also continue to exist. On top of that, because they had lost their treasure, they would beco even more ruthless. They would not stop until they killed all lifeforms that entered their dinsion!
It was even more so for the beasts defending the supre treasures. The balls of fire in the dinsions with supre treasures could not be extinguished by those who were not in Mastery Realm or Fate Realm. Furthermore, these supre treasures were categorized in different levels. Based on the information Su Ming obtained from Dust Burners' Progenitor, nine of the ninety-nine supre treasures were in the core of the fifth kiln.
The level of difficulty in obtaining these nine supre treasures surpassed all of the others. It was related to a person's level of cultivation, chance, and also serendipity.
Dust Burners had a record of them, and they knew through a unique thod of theirs that many years ago, when the kiln was activated, there were nine people who had stepped into a dinsion.
It was difficult for people to take even an inch forward there, but they saw a sight which drove them mad. There was a pri fla in the sky of the dinsion. This ant that this was one of the ninety-nine dinsions with a supre treasure, but this was just secondary in importance. The most important thing was that there was a blade contained within the ball of fire that the nine people saw!
At the instant they took note of this, the blade's voice reached their minds, telling them that its na was Life Envying Blade.
A supre treasure that would tell its own na to others was one of the nine treasures within the core of the fifth kiln - a supre treasure which would co to them only by luck!
It was that blade that caused all of the nine people to die in the end, and among the nine, seven of them were Masters of Fate, Lives, and Death. These seven people had co from the forces of power from the four Great True Worlds stationed to keep watch over the Barren Lands of Divine Essence. It was also due to the deaths of these seven people that the four Great True Worlds gave up on their plan to occupy the Divine Essence Star Ocean in one go, which they had been preparing for at that ti. Instead, they simply decided to keep watch over it.
It could be seen from this alone that the nine supre treasures in the core contained incredible temptation and power. When Su Ming saw this, questions rose in his heart.
Why did Su Xuan Yi not take the fifth kiln with him when he ventured out in the past? If he had taken it, then perhaps he would not have suffered such a tragic fate in True Morning Dao World.
Su Ming could not understand this. It caused him to be montarily silent before continued to read through the introductions in the map in regards to the fifth kiln.
There were lifeforms existing in the space between the many dinsions in the fifth kiln, and they were known as Fire Spirits.
They were created by Abyss Builders and given the task of refining the supre treasures as well as protecting the kiln. Over the course of countless years, intelligence was born within so of them and they chose to leave to beco Dust Burners.
However, the price for leaving was the loss of the powerful offensive power they possessed as Fire Spirits. There were quite a large number of Fire Spirits who chose freedom despite that, but many chose to stay even if intelligence had been born within them. Instead, they continued carrying out their mission within the fifth kiln.
There were also plenty of Fire Spirits who did not possess intelligence and just drifted in a daze between the dinsions of the fifth kiln. They killed all lifeforms which did not belong to the place and maintained the normal operations of the fifth kiln.
Ti slowly passed as Su Ming investigated the information regarding the fifth kiln. When the seventh day of the black flas of destruction erupting passed, the heinous sea of fire that had lasted for nearly a month within Divine Essence Star Ocean disappeared in an instant.
Not a single fla could be seen any longer. Only ruins were left behind, as well as worlds that no longer had any traces of green within them. Far too many planets were reduced to ashes by the sea of fire, and far too many floating continents had disappeared along with it. None of them would exist in Divine Essence Star Ocean any longer.
There were also far too many ferocious beasts who had died in the sea of fire. The ones remaining would exist in a period of emptiness within Divine Essence Star Ocean, but even so, the hidden forces would remain strong. If powerful ferocious beasts and various races could survive here, then they naturally find ways to avoid the sea of fire until they even got used to the eruptions from the fifth kiln.
Their existences were the foundation of Divine Essence Star Ocean.
When the sea of fire in the world outside disappeared, the flas that existed in space in the area around the group on the platform started dimming one by one. Yet as they beca dimr, all the people, including Su Ming, instantly saw… figures that had their eyes closed and were sleeping in the extinguished flas,
They… were Fire Spirits!
When the sea of fire from the fifth kiln erupted, they fell asleep, but when it disappeared, they would gradually wake up and carry out their mission - to kill all those who did not belong in this place.
At the instant Huang i and Reverend Zi Long saw the Fire Spirits, their faces turned grim. They did not say a single word, because there were far too many Fire Spirits around. They were so densely packed together that their numbers could not be counted.
They might be sleeping, but the mighty pressure spreading out from their bodies was enough to make all people's skin crawl. These Fire Spirits' levels of cultivation varied, but even the weakest among them were at Lunar Kalpa Realm!
The strongest among them were existences akin to Masters of Fate, Lives, and Death. However, they had not reached that Realm and were just exuding the mighty pressure and offensive power that belonged to those in that Realm.
Thankfully… most of them did not possess intelligence.
However, it could be seen that so of their eyelids were shuddering, as if they were about to wake up, and it gave a sense of oppression to people.
"Fellow Daoists, if you could co to this place, then you must surely have your own understanding regarding the fifth kiln. There are six of us here, if all goes well, we can occupy six Spirit Trudging Platforms. At that ti… heh heh," The yellow-browed man lifted his head to look at the Fire Spirits.
Right at the instant he finished speaking, nine huge light screens appeared around the platform on which they stood. At the instant light shone from them, piercing roars reverberated through the kiln. Those shrill cries ca from the Fire Spirits who had opened their eyes from their deep slumber and let out that sound once they saw the six intruders.
