Chapter 436: Tomb Raid is no longer exciting

Chapter 436: Tomb Raid is no longer exciting

The Tomb of the Flower Blaze King was filled with flowers with the energy of flames. Through them, alone Wang Ling could feel the Overhaul Phoenix Rebirth hidden meridians becoming more and more 

Wang Ling took a deep breath, he looked at the people surrounding him and how they scrambled for resources, "Quite the sight, is it not, Angel? Cultivators scrambling about searching for treasures hidden away by one who created the tomb."

"Yes, quite the complicated contraptions are laid about. Hidden rooms, traps, and tests, all of it are scattered all over the place. I can feel it and the number of people fighting is staggering." Angel stated with a smile on her face. She was enjoying herself.

"Good to see that you enjoying yourself, but we can look around later, first I am in need of your assistance to find what I'm looking for." Wang Ling nodded and just began walking as he asked for Angle to trace the place with the most powerful Blazing Qi.

Angel was someone who could only be seen by those with Primordial lineage because it was the very embodiment of Holy Qi. It controls the Holy Qi that Wang Ling has domain over and though that may not seem like much considering how weak Wang Ling was at the moment, that doesn't limit the possibilities Angle could offer.

The Holy Qi, one of the two Primordial Qis, its domains over every element in the Cosmos and any of the Holy Race was a Master Elemental Manipulator. Wang Ling no longer possesses the Supreme Spirit Qi, the qi that started it all, but, his Holy Qi was the purest of them all. His Holy Qi was unmatched in terms of its purity.

He could control fire that does not belong to him, borrow the power of the earth, extend his regenerative capability to his companions, and reattach limbs like nothing. Wang Ling's qi was versatile in terms of its usage.

With that said, what about said qi's embodiment. Angel, whose control over the Holy Qi trumps even that of Wang Ling's. The being that exists inside the Holy Qi, the being that embodies the power that transcends the laws of the Cosmos.

Angel's strength was only limited by Wang Ling's incompetence. However, doing like simple elemental tracing was not beyond current Angel's abilities. By sealing off every other presence, Angel slowly picked out the object with the densest fire qi and then, finally, she finished her search.

Smiling, she pointed over West, "I can feel two items. One is flowing smoothly like a lake, serene and without much fluctuation yet still overbearing in terms of its pressure. The other is like a wild beast raging, beating like a living being its purity is amazing and if refined is beyond what Ling can handle, so what do you want to choose?"

"What has to least people?" 

"The second choice. The area is surrounded by a strong elemental barrier, fire waves that bend the laws of its surroundings. It scorches the land and the skins of those who approach, it may be worst as I can't exactly pinpoint the effectsoh look at that Ling, that one has the same qi as you, can I check if it can see me?"

"Hmm, try shouting, if it reacts to you then it can see." Wang Ling stated as Angel shouted to the Impostor looking to kill someone. Wang Ling couldn't care less that his Impostor was about to kill someone as his thoughts were preoccupied with something, "Well, that's even better than, a natural defense to lessen the competition. Angel, how did it go?"

"He didn't react. I even tried appearing in front of him, he didn't react the least bit." Angel's shoulders slumped in depressions, she was sighing and as she did, so, she hooked her arms around Wang Ling's neck seeking solace at the fact he could see and touch her.

"Don't worry about it, we'll find someone else who could see you soon enough." Wang Ling comforted Angel before casually walking west of the tomb. He passed a lot of constructs, through an aged hallway and found himself stopping in a room that's filled with a fiery aura.

A massive room that's over 500 meters in diameter. The room had eight entrances and inside there was a single treasure placed atop a golden pedestal. The treasure was a literal beating human heart that's emitting a copious amount of wild fiery qi.

"Ling, that's interesting, I want it!"

"I'll get it for you, just make sure to help me contain the seeping out fiery qi that it has. Wait, can you even manipulate its emission of fiery qi?"

"Of course! If you extend your qi into it I'll be able to playI mean help you contain it."

"You don't have to hide wanting to play with it, Angel." Wang Ling generously stated as Angel's smile became as broad as could after Hearing Wang Ling's words.

"Thank you, Ling,!" Angel tightly hugged Wang Ling as she instantly forgot the issue regarding the earlier incident. Though she could not hold anything from the Material World, Angel was still like a child who had a lot of interest. She would ask Wang Ling for a long of things and if it was doable Wang Ling would not say anything. This was no different.

Wang Ling was still on its doorsteps and had not entered but he observed the seventeen youths trying to get the treasure. When he looked around, he was amazed at just how many people could withstand the wild qi.

He was just about to step inside when he noticed something interesting.

To his surprised, inside the chamber, there was a familiar voice echoing, "Dang Wen! Do you really think I would let you take this from me!? You must be fucking dreaming! Give up now, because it is clear who would gain this treasure, me, the Dust Brawler Wang Go!"

"Bah! Shut up, Wang Go! You think you can get to me faster than I can!? This thing is perfect for my Infernal Fan, I will not let this go so quickly!"

Wang Ling saw Wang Go fighting for the heart, it was quite a coincidence. 

"Something big is in this chamber!"

Then a few raiders arrived and the moment they saw the Heart greed surfaced in their hearts, but then, when they saw Wang Go and the one from the Dang Family, all of them stopped.

"Stop! The Dust Brawler is here, we won't stand a chance." 

"No to mention the Blazing Fan and other prominent names are here tsk, fighting for a treasure here is not worth the risk."

"I see, then leaving this place to them is more efficient, come on, let's leave hmm? Look at that, some fool wants to fight for Heart?"

"Who?"

"I don't know, someone from the Sword Tower, I suppose I want to believe he's capable, but his cultivation strength is not rousing any in me."

A group decided to leave but stopped for a moment seeing that Wang Ling showed interest in stepping in the room where the Beasts of their generation gathers.

A commotion was created gathering the attention of those who had already entered. The majority of the people inside saw and inspected Wang Ling's strength. They scoffed in derision, but Wang Go did not.

Instead, Wang Go stopped his steps looked at Wang Ling, and just sighed before walking away.

When Dang Wen saw this, he was so confused that he didn't even have the time to think of an insult, just shouting at Wang Go, "Where are you going!?"

Wang Go who had already decided to give up now gathered everyone's attention. Everyone was apprehensive, they were sensing the surroundings if something was about to come that they didn't know about.

Sighing, Wang Go just said, "That treasure's owner, had already been decided, best give up now and search deeper inside."

"What nonsense are you talking abo"

Dang Wen's question could even be completed because from the corner of his eyes, he saw the newcomer casually walking through the massive heatwave as though he was in a casual stroll. 

Wang Ling who just had Angel scatter the heatwave of the Heart reached the treasure and just ignored everyone's dumbfounded expression. Wang Go who had exited the chamber saw this and just sighed before bowing to Wang Ling, saying, "I will see you later, Senior Ling Wudi."

"I as well, good luck in your endeavor, Wang Go. I am sorry for getting this loot, I cannot repay you with anything, but from now on I will not target anything you wish to get. I just really needed this one."

"Thank you, senior."

After that exchange, Wang Ling casually picked up the beating heart and then kept it away like he was in some farmer's market picking up fruit.

"Okay, Angel, what direction next?"
