In front of the mountain of flames.
While the Legends were eagerly looking at the Fire Element Source in front of them, a slender figure suddenly arrived from hundreds of miles away. He was like an aloof Immortal. Despite being far away, his aura was clearly felt by the Legends, which made their hearts tremble. They felt as if they were just like sitting ducks, waiting to be slaughtered.
“It’s the Tang Empire’s Legend…” The cold-faced man’s teeth were chattering, and he stammered.
When the others heard this, their hands and feet became cold. As if they had fallen into a bottomless abyss.
Although they showed strong confidence just now, after actually facing such a peerless figure, they realized how ignorant they were.
Perhaps the Major Sects behind them could stand at the same height as Su Qin, but as for them, they were like trivial ants.
“How did the Tang Empire’s Legend arrive so fast?” Someone asked, as he swallowed a mouthful of saliva. His face was riddled with shock.
[Dong~]!
[Dong~]!
[Dong~]!
In a flash, Su Qin crossed the distance worth hundreds of miles and came to the front of the mountain of flames.
“Greetings, Senior.”
The Legends had already knelt down on the ground, as they quickly worshipped him.
Su Qin ignored these Legends, and instead set his sights on the mountain of flames in front of him.
“Is this the Fire Element Source?”
Su Qin felt an abundance of Fire Element surging from the mountain.
The Element Sources were divided into Elements, each taking form differently.
For example, the Earth Element Source formed a hill, valley or even a mountain range, while the Water Element Source would be a lake, a river or even an ocean.
The most peculiar ones were the Thunder Element Source, Yin Element Source, and the Yang Element Source, etc. These types had no specific form at all. They could take the form of a thunderstorm or a ray of Yang Qi and so on.
The Fire Element Source in front of him was obviously much more vigorous than the Earth Element Source that Su Qin had devoured before.
The aura of the Earth Element Source in the Western Desert was converged to the extreme. Even Su Qin could accidentally ignore it. But the Fire Element Source that had just appeared, had shocked the entire Tang Empire. It’s presence was known.
“My Lord, the Fire Element Source should not have matured yet.” Fei Yu, next to him, carefully observed and whispered.
“En.”
Su Qin slightly nodded, then indifferently said: “But it’ll be soon.”
The Fire Element Source was manifested when the wave of vitality had reached a critical point. Its accumulation speed was much faster than the other Element Sources. According to Su Qin’s estimation, this Fire Element Source would mature in, at most, a few days.
In fact, as early as when Su Qin saw the Fire Element Source, he could feel the stone statue vibrate within his body, which symbolized that the [Burning Sun Divine Art] was ‘eager’ for something.
“Sure enough.”
“The Fire Element Source is one of the best resources for Cultivating the [Burning Sun Divine Art].”
Su Qin touched his chin and settled his thoughts on the constantly vibrating stone statue of the [Burning Sun Divine Art].
However, although the [Burning Sun Divine Art] was very eager to devour the Fire Element Source, Su Qin knew that he could only do so after the Fire Element Source matured. At that time, it would bring him the most benefits.
Su Qin took one last look at the Fire Element Source, before looking at the Legends who were kneeling on the ground.
“What did you just say? You will make me go back?” Su Qin looked at the Thunder God Sect Elder that was not far away, and calmly asked.
Before Su Qin even came to the Fire Element Source, he had already used his Primordial Spirit to survey the area. Naturally, he had heard the conversation among the Legends.
“No, no, no, Senior, I was wrong. I beg Senior for forgiveness!” The Thunder God Sect Elder was so scared, that he started slapping himself again and again to prove that he had repented.
“You are not a Peak Legend. So if I take action against you, that would be bullying…” Su Qin lowered his head and looked down at Thunder God Sect Elder.
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
“Senior’s benevolence is as vast as the sea…” The Thunder God Sect Elder was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
When the other Legends heard this, hope suddenly rose in their hearts.
If Su Qin disdained bullying the weak and let the Thunder God Sect Elder go, he would definitely not attack them.
In other words, they were safe!
However, before they could even bask in their joy, Su Qin suddenly shook his head, saying: “It’s a pity…”
Su Qin’s eyes suddenly lit up with a cluster of flames. The flames continued to soar, and finally burst out, burning the Thunder God Sect Elder in front of him into nothingness.
Su Qin had been walking the path of Martial Dao for decades. The last thing he could care about was bullying the weak. Otherwise, he would not have burned the Meng Yuan Empire’s army when they attacked the Tang Empire.
For Su Qin, the Martial Dao was about breaking through the limits and constantly getting stronger. The higher one goes, the more privilege he has to do things as he wishes. Basically, freedom. By this logic, how could Su Qin be constrained by other things?
The rest of the Legends listened to the horrifying howls of the Thunder God Sect Elder and bowed their heads. Their bodies trembled more and more, fearing that the next moment, the flame would fall on them next.
No one thought about running away. As disciples of Major Sects, everyone knew that in front of powerhouses like Su Qin, the only possibility of surviving was to behave.
As for running away?
How could they escape?
Even if they did their best and used various forbidden techniques, can they escape a domain? Can they escape a Primordial Spirit?
Su Qin then raised his hands and killed a few more people. All of them were the ones that uttered wild words just now; threatening the entire Tang Empire to bend down under the might of their Ancestors.
Finally, Su Qin looked at the cold man.
“Senior, are you not afraid that our Ancestors will not take revenge?” The cold man said with a trembling voice, and plucked up the courage to say these words.
The cold man knew very well in his heart that if he didn’t speak, he would become ashes like the others.
Under the pressure of life and death, even if the cold man knew that his words were very likely to irritate Su Qin, he couldn’t care much. Either way, he’ll die. But doing something could at least increase his hopes of living.
“Revenge?”
“You think that the Dark Source Sect’s technique of shifting between illusory and reality is that great? I beg to differ. It’s nothing, but a waste!”
Su Qin said with a hint of sarcasm on his face.
The cold man was an Elder of the Dark Source Sect, but the technique they’re so proud of was useless against Su Qin.
In an instant, the cold man felt and saw his body begin to burn again, before quickly turning into nothingness.
Just as the hearts of the remaining Legends trembled, a voice suddenly resounded in everyone’s ears.
“Waste?”
“Fellow Daoist really has a big tone. The Dark Source Sect has stood at the Peak for thousands of years. But according to Fellow Daoist, we’re a waste?”
At this time, the sky suddenly darkened and an extremely deep, but illusory figure arrived.
The figure was on the border of being illusory and real. It seemed that he existed between the two states at the same time.
“That’s…”
“Is that the Ancestor of the Dark Source Sect?”
The moment the Legends saw the figure, their scalp tingled and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Compared to other Peak Legends that had formed Primordial Spirits, the Dark Source Sect Ancestor was a more terrifying existence.
The Dark Source Sect’s Cultivation technique was flawed and they cannot form a Primordial Spirit. It was even more impossible to enter the Earth Immortal Realm.
However, if Cultivated to the peak, they could transform themselves into the Nightmare Form.
In the Nightmare Form, they would gain the power of a nightmare, which was enough to compete with the Primordial Spirit Strength. Even to a strange degree, it was several times more difficult to deal with than the ordinary Primordial Spirit.
This was also the reason why the Dark Source Sect had managed to stand overseas for thousands of years.
Although the Dark Source Sect had never produced an Earth Immortal, they had an Ancestor that had unlocked the Nightmare Form.
The deterring power of an Ancestor who have the Nightmare Form was above that of an ordinary Peak Legend with a Primordial Spirit
“Oh?”
Su Qin looked at the Ancestor of Dark Source Sect.
With Su Qin’s eyesight, he could see through the details of the latter at a glance.
At this time, the Dark Source Sect Ancestor’s aura was much stronger than that of the Sword Ancestor’s. But then again, it was to be expected to be normal. After all, the Sword Ancestor had lost his body for hundreds of years, and his Primordial Spirit had already begun to decline. How could he be comparable to the Dark Source Sect Ancestor?
“Only you? Aren’t you afraid that I will refine your Nightmare Form instead?”
Su Qin looked calm, and indifferently said.
If it was before Su Qin formed hia Primordial Spirit, it would have been difficult to completely suppress the Dark Source Sect with only his Quasi-Dharma Body. But now…
“Really?”
“What if you add me?”
Another voice sounded, but this one was icy. Everyone subconsciously looked to see who it was, and saw a woman standing in ice, slowly approaching.
Accurately speaking, the woman was not really standing on ice, but every step she took, a horrifying aura moved in all directions, which forcibly lowered the surrounding temperature by a great amount.
“This is?”
Everyone’s complexion greatly changed, while the disciple of the Snow God Palace almost couldn’t hold herself back from cheering excitedly.
“Greetings, Ancestor.”
The Snow God Palace disciple immediately bowed in respect.
“Another Peak Legend with a Primordial Spirit?” Fei Yu looked solemn.
It’s just that, before Fei Yu could process the situation further, thunder suddenly began to roar.
A terrifying lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.
In a flash, the lightning descended in front of everyone, transforming into a tall man that was exuding a heavenly aura.
“I heard that Fellow Daoist is good at the Thunder Dao so I, Lei Xing, am looking for advice. I wonder which one will prevail, the Fellow Daoist’s Thunder Dao or the Thunder God Sect’s?”
The tall man looked at Su Qin and said.
With the appearance of this tall man, the place boiled in an instant. Many were dumbfounded, as they looked at the scene before them in disbelief.
“Ancestor Lei Xing of the Thunder God Sect?” Fei Yu took a sharp breath.
Compared with the first two, Ancestor Lei Xing’s reputation was higher. After all, thunder was a kind of Heavenly might. Experts at the same level could rarely stop the terrifying Power of Thunder.
“This is a major event…”
Fei Yu whispered to himself.
