Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Swallow Fire

Shi Hao’s circle was naturally the Other Shore Realm, and when he executed the Cloud Piercing Step, how fast was he?

Even though there were masters of the Heaven Building Ladder on the South Wood Continent, and disciples whose movement techniques were not inferior to Shi Hao’s, the problem was that Shi Hao was simply too monstrous. At the level of the Other Shore Realm, who could compare with him?

He instantly broke free, leaving everyone in the dust.

Although there were people chasing him from behind, they were only getting farther and farther away, and they couldn’t possibly affect him.

"Hehe, you, a Self-Observation, hiding in the midst of the Other Shore Realm, don’t you feel ashamed?" Several people also flew out from the Self-Observation battle group to snipe at him.

There were five people in total, each of whom was as fast as Shi Hao.

Swoosh, just then, a sword light spread out, turning into an endless rain of swords, attacking those five people.

"Huh?" The five people all exclaimed in surprise and had to turn back to defend.

They focused their eyes and saw that it was none other than Xiao Hei—ranked fourth on the leaderboard. Since Shi Hao had reached the top, naturally, everyone else’s rank had dropped by one.

Sword Body!

Although Xiao Hei had just joined Self-Observation and although his Sword Body was indeed incredible, they hadn’t taken him too seriously. However, a few super sects on the South Wood Continent had shown admiration for Xiao Hei, so if they rashly injured Xiao Hei... they might displease these sects.

After all, there was no great enmity at the moment, and it wasn’t yet time to fight over treasures, so it was naturally necessary to leave some leeway.

Therefore, although they had defended against Xiao Hei’s sword, they did not counterattack.

Xiao Hei, however, was gasping for breath; he was just an initiate, and that strike had unleashed the power of the Sword Body, which was how he had blocked the five high-level Self-Observations.

That attack had placed a great burden on him, and now he was naturally gasping for breath non-stop.

Fortunately, no one attacked him anymore; they all pulled their legs and chased after Shi Hao again.

"Hmph!" Seeing that Self-Observation couldn’t stop Shi Hao, naturally someone from the Founding King Court took action.

However, Han Liren took action and resolved the crisis.

—He didn’t need to block everyone, just to create a sliver of space for Shi Hao was enough; otherwise, facing so many from the Founding King Court alone, he would have been overwhelmed in minutes.

Huh?

At that moment, even the masters from the Lianbu Temple noticed that a mere Other Shore Realm could be so monstrous?

"Hehe, the battle has just begun, young friend, why the rush?" A Lianbu Temple master took action, reaching for Shi Hao.

He was clearly a long distance away from Shi Hao, but with just a grasp through the air, Shi Hao felt an overwhelming force attack him, making him halt in his tracks, unable to move forward even slightly.

This was the terrifying power of a Lianbu Temple master!

Boom!

Lin Fuming took action, intercepting the attack from this Lianbu Temple master.

—So much time had passed, and he had finally entered the Lianbu Temple, possibly as the only one from the Eastern Fire Continent. It was a pity that because the Purple Green Secret Realm had started, too many masters had poured in, causing him to fade into obscurity.

Otherwise, the entire Eastern Fire Continent would have been astir.

The Lianbu Temple master was furious: "You’ve just joined the Lianbu Temple, and you haven’t even lit the incense flame, yet you dare attack me?" He switched targets, bombing towards Lin Fuming.

"Fellow Daoist, why be so angry?" Another from the Lianbu Temple took action, intercepting his attack.

This was one of the few Lianbu Temple masters who had previously shown goodwill towards Shi Hao at Eternal Stone.

Now, he didn’t mind extending another favor to Shi Hao.

After all, there were no Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures here, so letting Shi Hao take the "key" and leave, what difference would it make?

—They didn’t need it to travel to and from the Ancestral Land.

In this way, under the indifference and restraining of many masters, Shi Hao actually made it to the front gate.

Su Manman couldn’t help but smile, quickly putting away an item.

It was just now, using this item, that she had concealed Shi Hao’s presence, making too many people overlook him. Otherwise, even with the help of Xiao Hei, Han Liren, Lin Fuming, and others, how could he have charged through so smoothly being just from the Other Shore Realm?

Shi Hao didn’t hesitate and rushed straight into the cave.

The place was not large, and at the end of the cave, there was a torch burning brightly.

Huh?

Shi Hao was startled—it was a ball of Spiritual Fire!

He couldn’t help but smile. In the current situation, even if others saw the Spiritual Fire, they couldn’t possibly claim it for themselves without being beaten to death by the people of the Eight Tribes. But Shi Hao was different; he just needed to extract the rules within the fire.

"Ee-yah-yah!" Cloud Flame Fire jumped out, eager to pounce on that Foreign Fire. Shi Hao could clearly sense the greedy intent it displayed.

Huh?

Spiritual Fire could devour each other?

Shi Hao first pushed down the Cloud Flame Fire. First, he had not yet deciphered the rules of this Spiritual Fire, and secondly, he needed to take it out later.

"Ee-yah-yah!" Cloud Flame Fire cried out, clearly unhappy.

Shi Hao ignored it and used Fire Scorches the Heavens to extract the Spiritual Fire.

Buzz—the Flame Rune in his mind was being rapidly peeled away.

He harvested several times, and the Flame Rune became perfectly intact.

Okay, time to integrate.

He began to integrate this new Flame Rune with the previous three. Now, the difficulty was truly high. The four runes not only refused to obey but even retaliated, threatening to incinerate their master.

—The Mortal Fire Rune was also manageable, but the other three Spirit Fire Runes were formidable and posed a great threat to Shi Hao.

Shi Hao had no choice but to suppress them fully while combining them.

After a long time, Shi Hao finally accomplished the great task.

Done.

Shi Hao looked back at the ball of Spiritual Fire, but the corners of his mouth twitched.

What did he see?

Cloud Flame Fire was eating the Spiritual Fire!

How could fire eat fire?

Yet Shi Hao felt exactly that, and Cloud Flame Fire was thoroughly enjoying it. The two balls of Spiritual Fire were of distinct colors, with the one representing Cloud Flame Fire notably bigger, while the original one was pitifully small.

This... Just now, he was so focused on suppressing the backlash of the Spirit Fire Runes that he let Cloud Flame Fire take the opportunity to eat the Spiritual Fire!

Seeming to know that Shi Hao had caught it stealing a snack, Cloud Flame Fire made "Ee-yah-yah" sounds while eating even more vigorously, until only a nail-sized bunch of the Spiritual Fire was left.

Uh!

Shi Hao was speechless. What now, to take out such a tiny bit of Spiritual Fire?

Would the people of the Eight Tribes beat him to death?

They probably would.

What to do?

"Ee-yah-yah." Cloud Flame Fire licked its chops clean and jumped back onto Shi Hao’s shoulder, looking sated.

Um, got it!

Shi Hao smiled and put Cloud Flame Fire back on its original torch.

What’s the matter?

Cloud Flame Fire was stunned, then jumped back onto Shi Hao’s shoulder.

Why are you abandoning me? Do you have another fire?

Shi Hao put Cloud Flame Fire back again, saying, "You ate someone else’s key, so there’s no helping it, now you’ll have to substitute. Luckily, they want the sacred artifact of Jade Forest Land, not you, so as long as we enter the Sacred Land, you’ll be fine."

"Ee-yah-yah." Cloud Flame Fire was still crying, sounding very aggrieved.

It was too delicious, I just couldn’t help myself.
