The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin's strength was in the medium stage of Mysterious Realm, as compared to his peers he was far beyond the expected stage of his realm, coupled with the vital energy stone in his elixir field, he hardly needed to worry about the depletion of his vital energy. Austin believed that with his current level of skills set even if he was pitted and had to fight against hundreds of level six fire beasts in the battle, he could probably not win, however, he would probably still hold them off for a pretty long tbefore losing life soon with the strength that he possessed.

The life-and-death kind of battle was actually the best trial for a cultivator to make improvements in their fighting skills. If Austin fought with hundreds of level six fire beasts, he was assured of laying a solid foundation for further improvement of his practical combat abilities, practical combat experience and future cultivation.

If it had been years ago, Austin would have chosen a less taxing battle in which he was guaranteed an easy win.

But in the battle he was currently involved in, Austin had a hard tsuppressing the surging and tumbling fighting spirit in his chest, since it was now almost second nature for him to fight with all his might. He had to restrain himself since the main purpose of his visit to the Fire Valley was for the Scorching Evil Fire. If he continued to constoo much mental energy here, he would not be in his optimum and this would inadvertently affect the collection and refining of the Scorching Evil Fire.

Although the Scorching Evil Fire had been tamed and controlled by Angus, and Angus had also taught him the method of collecting and refining the fire in detail, maintaining his mental and physical state at the peak was still priority for him to be alert and precise when collecting and refining the Scorching Evil Fire.

After a brief struggle, the fighting spirit in Austin's eyes finally faded away.

"Ha-ha, next, I'll try Angus's method, and see whether there is any effect." Setting his mind in motion, Austin communicated with the aura of Angus's soul which had been put into his Soul Sea by Angus.

Suddenly, Austin felt a slight tremor from the aura of Angus's soul, and then a soft milky white light ring slowly spread out from his Soul Sea, and soon formed a circle of milky white light curtain which was seemingly quite weak around Austin's body.

In the light curtain, there were bursts of diverse strains of aura that were different from Austin's usual aura, which he identified as Angus's aura.

After the formation of the milky white curtain, the fire beasts which had been earlier roaring, cracking their teeth and mouths hysterically and preparing to attack Austin suddenly calmed down. They seemed slightly confused, and it was reflected in their sudden erratic movements and wondering eyes. Gradually, the fiendish ferocity on their faces faded away.

"It seems that it's quite effective." Concluded Austin.

Looking at the fire beasts which were beginning to calm down and becquiet, Austin's nerves relaxed after confirming his theory.

At the stime, after the milky white light curtain covered Austin's body, the hot air waves, which were generated from the continuous burning flames in the surrounding environment, also mysteriously missed Austin's body and instead the temperature around his body was normal.

Austin then gingerly tried to walk slowly forward.

The milky white light curtain covering his whole body also seemed to be mimicking his movements; it kept up with him moving in the sdirection seemingly keeping his safety all the way.

Hundreds of level six fire beasts that had earlier threatened to extinguish his life if he made a wrong move were now automatically separated into two groups right in the middle and allowed Austin to pass through the corridor.

In the pupils of the beast, stemotions appeared gradually.

This magical scene amazed Austin, and he couldn't help admiring the changes. His nerves were also completely relaxed at this moment.

Originally, according to Angus, the fire beasts in the Fire Valley were born by the Scorching Evil Fire deep within the Fire Valley, because it had absorbed the energy of heaven and earth for many years, it had miraculously transformed and manifested itself in the form of the fire beasts with the energy nourishing them slowly.

However, the Scorching Evil Fire was the fire that Angus had once refined. Despite not excluding Angus's aura it also had the tendency to adapt to the new master's aura and mingle with its previous master's aura as a form of recognition of their new master.

The fire beasts, which were transformed by the Scorching Evil Fire, naturally had a sense of familiarity with Angus's aura. That is why, after the aura of Angus's soul appeared, all the fire beasts stopped attacking.

Since the method that Angus had taught him was proving effective, Austin did not stop, but sped up and rushed towards the depths of the Fire Valley.

When he was more than 3, 000 meters deep into the Fire Valley, Austin discovered a number of level seven fire beasts prowling in groups.

The level seven fire beast's strength could only be compared to a human cultivator who is at the medium stage of Mysterious Realm or even the premium stage of Mysterious Realm.

Nevertheless, after smelling Angus's aura from the milky white light curtain around Austin's body, just like what happened to the other fire beasts, their ferocity soon turned into confusion, and then into obedience. The fire beasts all got out of his way and stood aside in a single file as if bowing to him to let Austin pass through.

Even though, Austin was aware of the power he was wielding, looking at the level seven fire beasts standing on a single file by the passage, each of them was exuding a dense and strong pressure within their own space and Austin could not help but feel nervous.

Austin thought of what would happen if the large number of level seven fire beasts rushed up and attacked him all of a sudden, he would surely be snuffed like a candle in a heartbeat. Even if he bectwice stronger than he is, he might still not survive the battle.

Fortunately, Austin's worries were simply superfluous. No fire beast attacked Austin until he arrived at the bottom of the valley.

At the bottom of the Fire Valley, Austin discovered that it was a world full of fires.

It seemed to be a place with no living creatures and had no traces of plants or animals within the vicinity.

Fierce fires and overwhelming flames reaching several meters in height which seemed to be rising the closer he approached occupied the whole bottom of the valley.

Looking on the ground, the earth was all reddish brown. Because it had been burning with a high temperature for years, the land had cracked into parts; the cracks on the ground were wider than a meter and were all over the whole valley bottom like spider webs.

Austin, covered by the milky white curtain, stood still and looked at the valley. There were flames everywhere.

Within a short time, he was totally blinded and confused, he could not figure out where the Scorching Evil Fire was.

At the bottom of the valley, there were countless flames. He could not figure out which one of the fires was the Scorching Evil Fire. Austin could not see them clearly with his own ability.

After staring at the flames for a moment, Austin gave up on the idea of finding the Scorching Evil Fire with his own strength.

He decided to find help. He then communicated with Angus's soul aura hidden in his Soul Sea.

After a few seconds, a whizzing sound could be heard.

Angus's soul aura sent out a pale light with white radiance, which shot out from Austin's Soul Sea and moved around in the space at the bottom of the valley.

Although the pale white light was very weak and almost invisible in Austin's eyes, under the shroud of Austin's spiritual sense, he could still precisely capture the trajectory of the light.

The pale white light, after spiraling about three or four circles in the valley, suddenly stopped. It seemed to have confirmed a place in the northeast corner of the valley and was heading towards the corner directly.

Austin could not help but get excited. Without a doubt, with such a reaction and precise movement, he knew that the pale white light must have found traces of the Scorching Evil Fire.

So, without any hesitation, he moved, instantly catching up with the pale white light with the speed of lightning.

Soon, Austin found that the pale white light had stopped over a crack in the ground with a width of more than a meter.

'Was the Scorching Evil Fire hiding in this crack in the ground?’ He wondered.

It was finally tto actually face the Scorching Evil Fire, which ranked third on the list of the Unearthly Fire.

Even though Austin had been calm the whole time, at that moment, his felt his heart flutter, he could not help but jump around in a jig because of excitement.

He gingerly put one foot over the other, lightly stepping towards the crack on the ground. He nervously got closer and close to the crack! Finally, he arrived at his destination and seriously looked into the crack on the ground.

A red flwas slowly rising from the crack.

Looking at the red flame, Austin's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of a needle tip. He was mesmerized and in awe, all these emotions were reflected in his eyes which kept moving rapidly trying to take in everything at once.

What got Austin in such a frenzy was that the red flwas quite phenomenal. Whenever it flipped slightly, it constantly transformed into various animal forms, such as a cow, tiger, lion, leopard, ape, snake, eagle and so forth.

"Is this the Scorching Evil Fire?" He was obsessively staring at the red flin the crack on the ground, as he murmured aloud to no one in particular.

According to the information that he had memorized about the Scorching Evil Fire that was placed in his Soul Sea by Angus, he recognized the red flat first glance. It was indeed the Scorching Evil Fire!
