Chapter 37 - Ranked Ninth, Star Core Flame

Sheng Tian descended for hours, completely fine despite the overwhelming heat around him. The Primordial Chaos Dragon Flame continued to grow and its spirit had stabilized further. It's intelligence right now can compare to a three year old child.

"I guess I have to let the Primordial Chaos Tyrant Lightning absorb lightning to strengthen it"

A wave of condensed fire suddenly appeared and threatened to incinerate Sheng Tian. Sheng Tian reached out with his hand, completely ignoring the fire, and grabbed the tail of a flaming fish.

With a wave of his soul force he killed the beast and inspected it.

"The flame laws and flame energy is so pure that it had given birth to unique lifeforms"

He cut open the belly of the fish.

"Energy rich meat and a core containing pure flame energy"

Sheng Tian waved his hand and dozens of fish came flying towards him. He stored a mountain of their corpses and kept a few alive in his life ring before continuing to descend.

An hour passed and the space around Sheng Tian opened up greatly. Right beneath him was the core of the secret realm. Its heat was thousands of times greater than the surface and Sheng Tian had to strengthen the layer of qi around him.

A fierce fluctuation assaulted him from the right. A flame appeared in the shape of a flaming ball with spots of light shining around it.

"Ranked ninth on the Heaven's flame essence rankings, the Star Core Flame"

This essence flame was not ranked ninth on the Mortal Realms but ninth in the entire Heavens. For an essence ranked in the tens to appear in the backwater Mortal Realm is unprecedented and has never happened before in history.

Being ranked ninth, its power is nothing to scoff at, though the thin qi of the Mortal Realm restricts its growth and limits its realm to the Foundation Realm.

"Devour it"

He stretched his arm forward and the Primordial Chaos Dragon Flame dashed out of his sleeve and took its dragon form.

The Star Core Flame shivered when it sensed its aura and tried to run but the Primordial Chaos Dragon Flame wrapped itself around the flame and began to absorb it.

Wu Di woke up and looked outside.

"The Dragon's Might suppresses all things, even the first ranked flame cannot escape its innate fear towards the primordial and the ruler of flames"

The Star Core Flame tried to escape or self detonate several times, but with Sheng Tian here helping the Primordial Chaos Dragon Flame, its only fate was to become food.

Slowly but surely, it was absorbed and digested by the Primordial Chaos Dragon Flame. Once it was done, it erupted with great power and blinding light shone. When it receded, Sheng Tian saw that the Primordial Chaos Dragon Flame had gone through some changes. Its spirit had condensed and its features became more lifelike. Furthermore, faint stars can be seen in the black areas of its body.

Sheng Tian smiled faintly and they flew out of the volcano. They had spent a day there and already made massive gains.

Suddenly, his jade slip started to vibrate and shine. It was the distress signal for those of the same power.

The surface of the jade slip then transformed, turning into two words. Beast Alliance.

Sheng Tian flew in the direction the slip pointed in with a frown on his face. He could deduce that the half-bloods have mostly banded together and are probably attacking the human race. This was the worst thing that could happen as the human race is not as unified as the half-bloods and would suffer in such a fight.

He then saw below him the Sky Sword Sects disciples fighting against a small group of the beast alliance. They were clearly toying with their prey as other than Sheng Tian, the Sky Sword Sect's geniuses were nothing noteworthy.

"Phantom Sword Control"

"Ack"

"Enemy attack!"

Sheng Tian's soul moved and surged into their heads.

"Silence"

His soul searched their memories before killing them all. He frowned at what he saw.

First of all, most of the half-bloods across the continents have banded together. Such a force can easily cripple several major powers of the human race. Secondly, there seems to be a deeper scheme, a mastermind behind this sudden attack. Because those he killed were underlings, he didn't get any important information about those people. The only thing he knew about them were two words.

Devil Sanctuary.

"First things first, I'll kill all the half-bloods that are a part of that alliance. Then, when I get out of here, I'll hunt down those damn devils"

He flew north to the forest. The half-bloods had set up an encampment there and would ambush anyone that ventured in there. According to the memories of the scouts, they would perform a large-scale attack to wipe out all the humans in the secret realm.

Sheng Tian spread his soul force into a wide net that provided him with a hundred times the vision of any other Foundation Realm cultivator.

Using Phantom Sword Control, he killed any half-bloods that were a part of the Xuan Beast Alliance and took their treasures while he was at it.

Two familiar figures caught his attention. Bing Xue and Xiao Hua were currently fighting with a group from the half-bloods. With Bing Xue and Xiao Hua taking the brunt of the attacks, their group managed to sustain no casualties while fighting with the combat suited half-bloods.

"Sky Sword River"

A river of swords appeared in the sky and rained down on the half-bloods.

"Ah!"

"Who!"

Their cries were cut short and Sheng Tian descended from the sky and landed in front of Bing Xue.

"Regroup with your allies and inform the other powers. The half-bloods have banded together and will attack the entire human race soon"

And with that he left the scene and left the group of women confused for a few moments. Bing Xue's brows furrowed as she realized the problem and ushered her people to the plains.

"Move, contact our people and inform all experts of the human race"

The entire secret realm was thrown into disarray shortly after.
