The fire source beast had lived in the Eight Fires Valley for as long as he could remember,
so he was very familiar with all that was inside of it.
Everything, from the sacred fires to the laws of fire in the Eight Fires Valley, was under his control.
Therefore, now that he was back in the Eight Fires Valley, he felt like a fish in water.
"Bastards! Stop running!"
the four senior leaders of the Time Chamber Sect shouted, rushing into the Eight Fires Valley after
Austin and the fire source beast.
Soon, they realized that the two of them were headed towards the Fiery Eye in the depths of the Eight
Fires Valley.
It was clear that they wanted to take refuge inside of it.
The idea made the four senior leaders of the Time Chamber Sect fill with fury. They hated how unfair
Austin and the fire source beast made things.
"Ha-ha!
If you old men have the guts, keep chasing us!
Hey. I think we should go to that space again and visit the man from the ghost race!
Maybe he will ask you to stay since he is so hospitable,"
Austin said loudly on purpose. After all, he knew how much the four senior leaders feared that man.
Sure enough, they heard what Austin said and slowed down their pace.
"What's this?
Are you afraid?
Come on! The four senior leaders of the Time Chamber Sect can't be scared!
I thought you were masters at the same level as the three Lords of Darkness?
In my opinion, you are just a heap of trash in comparison to them!"
Austin continued, laughing deeply.
"You bastard! You don't know what you're talking about!
You're the cowards! You always run from us!
Come and fight me and watch as I kill you with a single blow!"
one of the four senior leaders roared back, losing his patience. Every word that Austin uttered made
them angrier.
"Ha! What makes you so arrogant?
If I ever get as old as you, I will be able to kill someone like you with one single finger!
When I break through and become a god of chaos, I will have the confidence to fight you head on!"
Austin snapped back.
"You..."
Suddenly, the four senior leaders were so enraged that they couldn't form a coherent sentence.
They were completely shocked by the thought of
Austin's young age and remarkable strength.
'You know what? Austin is a rare genius in the Absolute Space Sea!
In fact, he is the most talented young man I have ever seen in my life!'
they thought, sighing internally and slumping their shoulders for a moment. Then, their determination
returned.
"Damn it!
We can't afford to be distracted anymore!
The two of them are about to enter that Fiery Eye!
Once they get inside of it, we'll have a hard time catching them!"
one of the four elders shouted at his comrades.
"You two had better stop running right now!"
the four senior leaders roared, using the law of space and time simultaneously. Within seconds, they
had closed a lot of the distance between the four of them and Austin and the fire source beast.
It was clear by their speed just how powerful they truly were.
Austin and the fire source beast were forced to stop in their tracks.
However, the Eight Fires Valley was the territory of the fire source beast.
"Break!"
he roared.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
From all over the Eight Fires Valley, the eight sacred fires flew towards the fire source beast.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
There were so many that once they were all in one place, the power was too much for the area to
handle.
Then, the fire source beast condensed the sacred fires and turned them into a huge, burning palm. It
pushed towards Austin and the fire source beast.
Bang! Bang!
They were hit by it and like two cannonballs, they shot towards the Fiery Eye at a high speed.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Seconds later, the two of them had successfully entered the Fiery Eye.
"Oh no!"
the four senior leaders behind them roared helplessly.
"Hurry up!
Let's go deeper into the Fiery Eye.
There, we'll find a large maze. That will make it even harder for the four of them to catch us!"
the fire source beast suggested the moment they landed, bursting into laughter.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Austin and the fire source beast sped up and sprinted into the depths of the Fiery Eye.
Now that they were in the Fiery Eye, they felt elated and completely at home.
Both of them had been practicing the core fire-controlling skills of the fire source beast race. As a
result, the violent flames roaring all around them provided them with great benefits instead of harm.
With the help of the raging flames, their speed increased greatly once more.
Within a few seconds, they had completely disappeared into the Fiery Eye.
Outside of it,
the four senior leaders of the Time Chamber Sect screeched to a halt at the entrance and looked into it
longingly.
They used their spiritual senses and sensed Austin's and the fire source beast's auras deep in the
Fiery Eye. Suddenly, they felt a little hesitant.
"Should we go after them or not?"
one of them asked, breaking the silence.
"It seems useless to chase after them.
Can't you feel that their auras are getting weaker and weaker?"
another one said.
"Yes.
This is the territory of the fire source beast race. The deeper they go into the Fiery Eye, the stronger
the fire source beast will become. If we chase after them, our efforts will be in vain,"
the third one commented, sighing.
"Forget it. We shouldn't chase them."
In the end, the four senior leaders managed to reach a consensus.
After all, the man from the ghost race, whom they feared the most, lived in the Fiery Eye.
They had barely escaped from him last time. They feared what might come of them if they were to
encounter him again.
"Damn it!
Those two young men have made fools out of us!"
At last, the four senior leaders sighed and hung their heads in shame.
Then they turned around and walked out of the Eight Fires Valley, dragging their feet the whole way.
They knew it was pointless to stand there and wait.
As long as Austin and the fire source beast saw them hanging around, they wouldn't bother coming
out.
Plus, they were the pillars of the Time Chamber Sect. They had other important tasks to take care of. It
was impossible for them to waste time staying here.
"Sirs, did you catch Austin and the fire source beast?"
When they exited the Eight Fires Valley, they came across the seven young leaders who were still
debating entering it or not. The moment that they saw four senior leaders coming out, they ran over to
them.
"We should get back,"
one of the four senior leaders said to them in a depressed tone.
"What?
You let Austin and the fire source beast escape again?"
When the seven young leaders saw the expressions on the four elders' faces, their hearts sank and
they knew what had happened.
"Damn it!
I just want to catch them!"
The seven young leaders gritted their teeth in anger.
Without bothering to exchange any more words, the leaders of the Time Chamber Sect led their people
back to the headquarters.
They had always been afraid of the Eight Fires Valley and didn't think staying there for a long time was
a good idea.
The thought that the man from the ghost race that lived in the depths of the Eight Fires Valley could run
out at any moment sent chills down their spines.
