Time flowed by.
Half a month later, after crossing the Fourth Inner Region in pursuit of Prince Mingnan, Xu Qing’s group arrived at the Third Inner Region.
This place was only two regions away from the Divine Mountain that was the final destination of the first segment of the Grand Hunt.
The terrain of the entire Third Inner Region was mainly composed of volcanoes. Countless volcanoes erupted all year round, forming a dense black fog that spread in the sky.
As for the ground, it was an endless sea of magma.
Only the occasional cold wind blowing through formed intermittent and unstable paths. These paths often solidified for a period before turning back into magma, creating new pathways as the wind shifted.
All of this was unstable, causing mortals to be unable to pass through here.
Logically speaking, such a terrain wasn’t suitable for survival for many races.
However, in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race’s opinion, it was extremely suitable.
Such terrain not only allowed their bodies to be tempered all year round but also allowed them to maintain the heart of an expert. At the same time, the word ’flame’ of this race also represented their commitment to fire.
At that moment, in the center of the Third Inner Region, under the thick black cloud formed by the volcanic eruption for countless years, the sound of whips echoed. A bone dragon carriage rushed forward.
It was very fast!
One could see that at the end of the hundreds of iron chains in front of the bone dragon was the Eldest Prince and his subordinates pulling the carriage. All of them were in ragged clothes and their faces were sallow and skinny. The vast majority of them had listless eyes.
The remaining people gritted their teeth in silence and erupted with all their might to pull the carriage forward.
“Interesting. I wonder if it’s because of the whip, or if you guys have really come to a realization, or if you want to end it quickly… Of course, there might be another reason. You don’t want that famous human to catch up?”
No matter what, I’m very satisfied with your speed.”
In the dragon skull, Prince Mingnan smiled and spoke. However, at the next instant, his smile was replaced by gloom and his voice became cold.
“However, I’m not satisfied with your attitude.”
“Now, what I want is to be slow. You guys… are moving too fast.”
As he spoke, countless illusory whips flashed in front of the bone dragon and the sound of whipping rang out.
Some humans spat out blood, and there were even a few who couldn’t withstand the torture along the way and the devouring from the iron chains. They lost their breath and their corpses fell.
Some landed in the magma and were swallowed.
Some landed on the path and became dried corpses, waiting for the next cycle when a new path was formed. These corpses would then be drowned as the original path sank.
The speed of the bone dragon carriage in the sky was forced to slow down.
Humiliation and anger rose in the hearts of those humans pulling the carriages, but they were helpless…
The strength of the race was the foundation of everything.
Flame Moon Mystic Heaven’s strength made it impossible for countless races to have dignity in front of them.
Falling behind was the original sin.
At the same time, under the same black cloud, Xu Qing’s group were speeding over from thousands of kilometers away.
“That Prince Mingnan is very high-profile and didn’t hide his whereabouts. According to the latest news, someone saw him moving toward the Second Inner Region. We shouldn’t be far from his dragon carriage.”
Qiu Quezi spoke in a low voice.
The captain licked his lips and Xu Qing nodded slightly. He looked at the black clouds in the distance and then at the magma on the ground. The world of the Third Inner Region was filled with heat, like a steamer but there was no heat rising.
However, the dry heat that invaded both his body and soul was extremely intense.
“Fellow Daoist Xu, do you want to… consider it?”
“Prince Mingnan’s cultivation is astonishing. It’s said that he broke through from the third stage of Nihility not long ago and is now at the fourth stage, forming an illusory world.”
“Moreover… the physical bodies of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race surpasses many races, as do our spells and the density of cultivation base, making our race almost invincible in the same realm.”
Qiu Quezi didn’t dare to persuade, but he still couldn’t help but speak.
“In addition, his father, King Mingnan, is a peak Soul Accumulation almighty with eight worlds. It’s rumored that he’s not far from the nine worlds.”
“As his only son, this Prince Mingnan has been extremely talented since he was young. Although he isn’t the number one heaven’s chosen of this generation, he can still be ranked in the top ten.”
I’ve never seen him fight, but I’ve often heard about him.”
“For example, he’s good at curses, forbidden arts, and even divine techniques.”
“There are even rumors that he has learned several techniques of the Flame Moon Emperor-level cultivation art, the Thirty-Six Immortal Energy!”
“Generally speaking, even one technique from the Thirty-Six Immortal Energy would be considered a peak emperor-level cultivation art in other races.”
“Therefore, not only is Prince Mingnan’s background terrifying, but his strength is also astonishing… Regardless of victory or defeat, there would be a price to pay. It’s not worth it…”
When Qiu Quezi tried his best to persuade him, Xu Qing was indifferent. The captain beside him grinned and gave Qiu Quezi an apple.
“Kid, you’re not bad. Along the way, I’ve found you to be someone worth befriending.”
“However, you only see the background of that Prince Mingnan but you don’t know our background.”
“Don’t worry, it’s just a mere King Mingnan. As long as Little Qing is willing to give away his yang essence…”
Just as the captain said this, Xu Qing turned his head and glanced at him.
The captain chuckled and didn’t continue.
Qiu Quezi started and thought about the yang essence… His expression was a little hesitant as countless guesses surfaced in his mind. He glanced at Xu Qing but he didn’t dare to ask.
Just like that, as the guesses in his mind surfaced one after another, the three of them moved in the sky and time passed.
Two hours later, Xu Qing’s figure suddenly paused in mid-air and disappeared at the next instant. When he reappeared, he was already on a small path on the magma below.
This path formed by the cold wind was currently melting. Clearly, it wouldn’t be long before it dissipated.
There was a dried corpse that could barely be considered intact.
A human corpse.
Xu Qing looked at the corpse and the captain also sized it up a few times.
“I’ve seen him before. He’s one of the Eldest Prince’s guards.”
“From the looks of it, he endured tremendous torture when he was alive and the marks of the whip are quite serious. He endured at least thousands of whip lashings… His flesh, blood, cultivation, and even his soul were slowly corroded and devoured. The ultimate reason for his death was exhaustion and depletion.”
Qiu Quezi remained silent, not daring to speak.
Xu Qing stared at it for a few breaths before keeping the corpse. He then turned his head and glanced at Qiu Quezi.
“They shouldn’t be far now. You don’t have to follow me for the time being. Please help me take a look around and try your best to collect the human corpses.”
Qiu Quezi immediately nodded.
Xu Qing didn’t say anything else. He instantly rose into the air, stirring up a monstrous rumbling sound. He used his fastest speed to rush toward the distant sky.
He was much faster than before as he had a clear trail now.
The captain’s entire body flickered with blue light as he followed beside Xu Qing. He could tell that the killing intent on Xu Qing’s body was getting denser and denser and a hint of anticipation appeared in his eyes.
“Little Qing has an intense killing nature to begin with. He has been suppressing it throughout these years, but it won’t be good for him if he continues to do that for a long time.”
“Kill. Don’t think too much and don’t have shackles. We cultivators need the spirit to break out of all shackles!”
The captain mumbled to himself as he followed Xu Qing.
An hour later, when the bone dragon and the hundreds of humans pulling it fell into Xu Qing’s sight, he spoke softly.
“Eldest Senior Brother, I want to fight alone in this battle. 1 want to see how powerful this heaven’s chosen of the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race is.”
“If I’m not a match for him, please take action and snatch his mountains.”
The captain smiled and nodded in agreement.
At the next instant, Xu Qing’s figure was like a burning meteor, stirring up the black clouds in the sky and emitting a deafening boom as he headed toward the bone dragon that had stopped in the sky.
Wherever he passed, the void exploded and the world seemed to tremble.
There were also millions of soul threads that erupted from Xu Qing’s body. As Xu Qing got closer and his aura rose, these soul threads gathered together and formed Xu Qing’s first god form.
His aura soared, comparable to the first stage of Nihility.
A storm brewed.
This wasn’t the end. At the next moment, on the foundation of the first god form, the soul threads squirmed and the second god form appeared.
His aura erupted again, comparable to a second stage Nihility cultivator.
His aura pierced through the rainbow.
After that, when all the soul threads gathered, the third god form appeared!
His combat strength was comparable to the third stage of Nihility and suppressed the surroundings.
From afar, the sinister and tall figure, the blood-red cloak, the crystal skeleton, and the countless blood threads outside his body made Xu Qing look like a demon god had descended.
Behind him, an illusory Purple Moon rose and above the Purple Moon, the Sundial also formed. As it slowly rotated, Xu Qing took out a piece of Crimson Goddess’s flesh and swallowed it without hesitation.
His flesh and blood exploded, and his god form rumbled. His form was actually somewhat similar to the Crimson Goddess’. Upon closer inspection, it even bore some resemblance to Li Zihua’s presence.
His aura increased again, reaching… the fourth stage of Nihility!
This was Xu Qing’s strongest combat strength!
In front of the bone dragon, the expressions of the hundreds of humans changed. Some vaguely discerned the appearance of Xu Qing within the god form’s manifestation, stirring up immense waves in their hearts.
This was especially so for the Eldest Prince. When he saw that the person who came was actually Xu Qing, his heart trembled.
He had never interacted with Xu Qing before and had only seen him from afar a few times. However, he naturally knew Xu Qing’s identity and his mission this time.
Hence, he was extremely shocked that Xu Qing had appeared in the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race. He was also anxious. Just as he was about to remind him, countless whips appeared around them and instantly wrapped around their bodies.
This included their mouths and their divine senses. After sealing all methods of communication, laughter rang out from the dragon’s skull. At the next instant, Prince Mingnan disappeared and reappeared in the outside world.
Looking at Xu Qing who was rapidly approaching, a hint of interest appeared in his eyes.
“You actually came?”
“There’s actually such a transformation technique. Interesting, interesting.”
“I originally couldn’t be bothered with the heaven’s chosen of the human race. However, to be able to kill so many people of my race and have such a divine art, regardless of whether you pull my carriage or refuse and end up with your head hung in front of it, you could barely be considered a decoration.”
As he spoke, he walked toward Xu Qing, who was approaching with monstrous momentum!
