This was the normal case for fire source beasts. The fire-controlling skill was an inherent talent to their
race. Now that the fire source beast was able to learn directly from their senior master in their ancestral
land, his fire-controlling skill had been greatly improved in just a short amount of time.
At the same time, Austin's fire-controlling skill was also enhanced drastically under the guidance of the
old man.
Although Austin was not a member of their race, he also had some innate talent in controlling fire, so
he was able to quickly make progress in his cultivation.
One key point to cultivating the fire-controlling skill was the proper comprehension of the law of fire.
When Austin was just starting to cultivate it, he was baffled to find out that the so-called law of fire was
just a general term.
It turned out that almost every single flame had its own unique law, making the process of cultivation
more complicated than he expected.
Hence, in order to be thoroughly proficient in the fire-controlling skill, one had to comprehend the laws
of all kinds of flames that existed. Moreover, only by comprehending the unique law of a certain kind of
fire could one control it at will.
Therefore, a lot of time and perseverance were required to cultivate the fire-controlling skill.
"This is amazing! The flames seem to have an intelligence of their own. Each of them has its own
character and temperament!"
Austin couldn't help but exclaim in surprise as he discovered a lot of things during the process of
cultivation.
"I remember a saying stating that everything in existence has its own soul. Now, it really makes sense
to me!"
Austin murmured to himself as he grew more excited.
Another key factor in practicing the fire-controlling skill was the ability to get close to each kind of flame
so that one could fully integrate it into his body.
Once the flame was completely fused into one's body, it was the only time that he could control it at will.
Therefore, this was a very tedious and dangerous process.
Most flames were extremely dangerous and they possessed amazing power, like the eight kinds of
sacred fire. Once they were integrated into one's body, his body and even his spiritual soul could be
burned into nothingness if he was not careful enough.
Thus, one should really be familiar and knowledgeable of the law and temperament of the flames
before attempting to integrate them into his body.
Since there were all kinds of flames in this world of fire, Austin and the fire source beast were able to
gradually learn each kind of fire under the strict guidance of the old man.
As time went by, the number of flames that they were accustomed to and that they could control
increased steadily.
While they progressed in their cultivation, both of them also had a deeper understanding of the law of
fire.
Although there were countless kinds of flames and they each had their unique temperament, their
features still had something in common.
"I did not expect that the fire-controlling skill is such a profound field!
All along, the fire-controlling skill that I have mastered is crude and ridiculous.
However, I am learning its real essence now and I finally made some great progress!"
Austin uttered to himself.
Meanwhile, the twelve leaders of the Time Chamber Sect were still fighting the avatars of the ghost
race.
It appeared that these avatars were almost impossible to wipe out because they could revive endlessly.
At the same time, the man in white kept attacking the twelve leaders of the Time Chamber Sect using
the surge of negative emotions.
Every time the leaders tried to escape, the man in white would suddenly join the battle. To make things
worse, he could use a secret teleportation skill, which could readily send them back into the depths of
the space.
That was why no matter how hard they tried, their attempts to escape always ended up in vain.
The four senior leaders of the Time Chamber Sect were by no means inferior to the man in white.
However, they had always feared the creature of the ghost race. Every time they would fight him head-
on, they did not dare to initiate the offense.
After all, this ghost in front of them was even able to intimidate Yahir, who was supposed to be the most
powerful master of the darkness race.
Hence, they were always on guard and wary of him.
It was not really a surprise that they had not been able to successfully escape from this space despite
their number of attempts.
Moreover, things looked even worse for the eight younger leaders. Every time the ghost assaulted
them with his negative emotions, they would easily be affected that they would momentarily lose
consciousness.
Although it was not physically damaging, it exhausted them mentally.
Because they were not able to do anything, the eight younger leaders could not help but grow more
afraid of the ghost race creature.
Like any other negative emotion, as their fear heightened, one would definitely find it harder to resist
over time. Eventually, the chances of them giving in would also increase.
Consequently, the resistance to negative emotions of the eight younger leaders got extremely weak.
Every time the ghost used his negative emotions to attack them, they would immediately lose control of
their minds.
"Damn it! We can't go on like this!
They are already at their limits. Those eight would not be able to hold on any longer."
The four senior leaders were well-aware that their situation had been turning for the worst.
Even though the four of them were powerful enough to resist the mental attacks from the ghost race
creature, things were different for the eight younger leaders. They knew that if this continued and
nothing was done, sooner or later, all eight of them would be completely controlled by the ghost race
creature and would eventually become his avatars too.
"We don't have a choice. Let's attack him with all our strength!
With our combined powers, I don't see why we should be afraid of him.
The more we delay this and do nothing, the worse things will be.
From now on, the moment he gets close to us, we shall take the initiative to attack him without
reservation.
We have to use all of the most powerful secret skills that we have mastered to deal with him!"
"That's right. Since we cannot escape this fight anymore, we might as well go all out! Let's fight him to
the death! Otherwise, our hesitation will just slowly kill us!"
"By the way, I heard that the most effective way of dealing with the members of the ghost race is by
using the mind power.
Hey, I know that you have been practicing the mind power. Attack him with all your might as soon as
we created a chance for you!"
The four senior leaders finally made up their minds to go all out in order to desperately get rid of the
ghost race creature.
Therefore, after a few moments, the battle became much more intense.
Discarding all of their previous hesitations, the four senior leaders took the initiative to attack the man in
white by using all kinds of cultivation methods that they still had up their sleeves.
By using their combined powers, it could be clearly seen that the four senior leaders were indeed a
formidable force to reckon with.
Upon using their full strength, the attacks they unleashed were so savage that they might really have a
chance to overpower the man in white.
In fact, even the man in white was taken aback after witnessing the barrage of attacks that was hurled
towards him.
Fortunately for them, one of the senior leaders was good at using mind power. The moment he used it,
he was able to quickly deal with the avatars of the ghost race.
This way, the situation suddenly became favorable for them.
"Henrik, it is time for you to take action,"
the man in white mumbled.
"All right. Let me handle it,"
Henrik calmly replied.
With that, Henrik also joined the battle and helped the man in white in battling against the twelve
leaders of the Time Chamber Sect.
Henrik was indeed capable and strong. Although he was a little weaker compared to the four senior
leaders, he was able to swiftly overpower the eight younger ones all by himself.
Because of this, the balance in power was tipped again. At the same time, the man in white engaged
with the four senior leaders and continued their fierce battle.
