Ethan circulated his vital essence to lessen the burden he felt slowly the crystal lion move aside to make way for him and their leader.
''Human I need to thank you for the pill you gave me''
''I'm the one who needs to thank you for helping us out in the woods''
The leader of the Crystal Lions only shook his head and said,
''Your friend is much more powerful than me''
the leader of the crystal lions looks at Pyr who quietly sits on Ethan's head.
Ethan looks at the girl lying on the ground beside him.
''She's pale again''
Circulating his vital essence inside her body Ethan realized that the remaining poison he couldn't remove a while ago became strong again and began to spread through her body.
''I'm sorry we couldn't help her the poison in her body was not within our reached''
The leader of Crystal Lions walked towards him looking apologetic.
''No it's fine apparently I already knew about the poison inside her body that's why I decided not to help her the first time I saw her''
Moving to her side Ethan began to burn the poison inside her body sadly he could only slow the poison but not completely remove it.
''Ha...ha!''
breathing became hard on him emptying his vital essence qi he could only breathe to recover.
''If you want we know a plant that may help you''
Looking at him Ethan asked even though his breathing became hard he tried to hear what he had to say.
''This herb is called seven palm grass it could remove the poison below level 10''
''Where..to find..this herb''
''This herb can be found at the darkest and most dangerous place of this forest the Hearm Falls''
Ethan nodded his head and slowly recovered his vital essence qi.
Now he plans to help her to get to the bottom of everything.
''Sigh..I hate helping people''
Whoosh
Following the crystal lions using his staff, they end up going to the entrance of the falls.
''I'll be fine here please return to your den and protect her in my stead''
Roar!
The crystal lions roar before running back to their home Ethan watches their backs until he loses sight of them.
''You hate helping people but you risking your life to save her''
Pyr looks at him while sitting on his shoulder.
''I just hate getting involved in other people's business especially things like this''
''Huh?...what do you mean'' Pyr further inquire this kind of situation is quite different from the usual Ethan that he knows.
''Things that force me to help... ever since I was little I couldn't help but be involved with other people's business that I sometimes realized that I end up being friends with them''
''And is that something to worry about''
Ethan looks at Pyr before controlling his staff to continue ahead.
''Weaklings are not allowed to fall in love or to love even to have friends they can't protect that's what my brother told me before and now losing them I realized he was right''
Pyr only laughed a bit before saying
''But you can't help but be involved and you end up helping them out right''
Ethan looked at him before helplessly nodding but then the chat was ended by a loud screech of animals.
''Deities are coming we better travel on land than travel on air''
Controlling his wind staff Ethan slowly lands on the land but Pyr looks dissatisfied.
''I could kill every creature here with just a blast from my breath why need to hide''
''Hehehehe...then where's the thrill of adventure when you are using your powers''
Running on the way to the falls Ethan could feel the breaths of many creatures in the entire falls using his wind-slaying technique.
''Left... right....left''
Ethan was able to dodge any creatures that he couldn't handle until he faced a large spider that ended up blocking his way.
''Dark mount spider''
looking at the huge black hairy spider Ethan wasn't the least surprised since he already sensed that this spider kept chasing after him.
''So shall we start killing each other''
Disappearing and turning into a shadow he appears under the dark mount spider cutting it in half.
''Its body is a bit hard good thing my daggers are made of flames''
''Master more of them are coming''
''I Know''
Ethan make his daggers more dangerous while looking at the group of dark mount spider that coming towards him.
''Sigh this is going to be a long day''
Bang!
The large explosion echoed around the woods but no high-level beast was able to come closer because Pyr's aura ended up scaring them.
Piled of corpses could be seen around the area a small figure continued to make his way leaving dead bodies behind him.
''Rest now I'll guard you up''
Hearing Pyr's suggestion Ethan agreed and began to recover his lost strength.
Minutes pass Ethan breathes a sigh of relief he looks at himself feeling he has advanced to second-star Earth level.
''Congrats''
Ethan looks at Pyr and slowly puts him on his shoulder.
''Thanks now let's continue''
The day became disastrous for many beasts below and above sky level no one can oppose Ethan and Pyr's might.
Several hours later the falls finally appear before their eyes Ethan starts to find the location of the seven palm grass.
Ethan kept looking until he saw a weird grass shape like the leaves of a palm tree right below the falls so he went there.
''It seems that we have found our target''
Picking the grass gently Ethan slowly stored it but was startled by the creature that came out of the water.
Splash!
It reveals its gaping mouth ready to swallow Ethan.
''Deity level ancient armored alligator''
Stunned by the sudden appearance of the beast who had already blocked the sunlight Ethan was about to use his staff to flee but he saw Pyr jumping from his shoulder.
Still, in salamander form, Pyr grew a small pair of wings to fly right in front of the armored alligator all of a sudden his small mouth enlarged big enough to swallow the beast.
Gulp!
In one gulp Pyr swallowed the Deity-level creature without hindrance Ethan stared at him for a bit before looking at the place that the armored alligator came out from.
''Let's go that little miss might be in trouble already''
Pyr lands on Ethan's head while his belly is bulging.
Ethan only shakes his head before taking his staff to summon the wind.
''The so-called five strongest demons are no joke'' he thought as began to exit the falls.
''The five strongest demons may become our enemies'' Looking extremely worried Kai looks at the image and begins to read old history about the legendary five demons.
''According to the memory book two of the five strongest demons are missing while the three became protectors of the eight-demon palace'' Winter said while he checked the mountain of books on his table as he gave one to Kai.
''Hydra the nine-headed archdemon has heads that can regenerate even how many times it was slayed'' Kai begins to read the first information from the book Winter gave him.
Asher and Kun are the only ones there so they pay attention to Kai until they feel that Oldman Chen has returned with Haze it seems they are talking about something very important.
''Each head has different strength and properties that are protected by sturdy scales in his body.
The first head has red scales and has the power to summon the flames in hell.
The second head covered with blue scales it's says that it has the power to freeze everything and couldn't be possible to melt.
Third the green head covered with green scales and poisonous breath is its power to be wary of its skill in illusions.
The fourth is the yellow-headed head which has the power of golden lightning and with this, its speed could be changed multiple times.
And as for the other heads...'' Kai suddenly stopped reading which confused the others.
''Kai why did you stop?'' Asher asked while waiting for the next part of the information he'd been trying to think of a counter plan in case they encountered the demon.
''There is no other information regarding the other heads it seems that the ones who fought the demon could only see the strength of the four heads'' Kai answered while trying to find more details from other books and inscriptions.
''Hydra is currently slumbering inside the enemy's lair it seems like this is our chance to attack'' Haze said taking a seat to join everyone.
''The plan is to simultaneously attack all the Eight demon palaces before they make a move against us...but lack of information will be a hindrance.
We have to make sure everything is set to the outcome we wanted'' Asher stated while looking at the map again.
''Haze what should we do?'' Winter asked Haze who was also looking at an ancient inscription.
When he heard what Winter asked he looked at Oldman Chen seemingly hinting him to move.
''No need to worry I'll fix this.....
If they want demons I'll go one'' Oldman Chen said as he exited the library and with a flash he disappeared.
''What's he planning to do?'' Kai inquired feeling something was amiss.
Haze stood up and picked a book from the shelf then he said.
''He's about to wake up some old monster of the past'' then he went towards the inner shelf where old legends are stored.
Kai and Winter then went and looked at the book he put on the table and they both said
''Era of the Ten lords of the flamma''
This confused the three young Deities but Kun merely laughed as he thought of something.
''So he's about to disturb everyone eh?''
Bang!
The roof of a small house was destroyed and there he stood Chen Xiang He looked at the man who was currently sipping tea and said cheerfully
''Hey let's get out of here ....
it's time to get some fresh air''
The man looked at him and laughed suddenly a fist smashed at Oldman Chen's face.
Bang!
The walls get blown out and everything turns to debris.
''You are still the same as ever'' The man only smiled seeing his fist was caught by Chen Xiang.
''So you are coming?''
''You bet let me first bid farewell to my kids'' The man exited his grumbling home and made his way to a huge building.
''Master!''
Simultaneously a large force of cultivators came towards him all of their faces suggested how worried they were.
''Kids I'll be leaving the house of Flamma for now..... take care'' After saying those words he disappears and accompanies his old friend for a new adventure.
''Niki!!'' Kuno shouted towards a spiky-haired guy who was currently holding a huge boulder in his arms.
''Master Ignatius just left his home without explaining anything to us'' Kuno looked worried about their master's leaving like that.
Nikias put the boulder he was holding and heard the entire story from Kuno.
''Well it seems a war brewing off'' he said and vigorously continued his training.
