Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The monster was startled inwardly, but immediately understood as his body twisted incredibly in the air. Before it had time to turn around, a Supreme Dao attack had already shot at its back.

This Supreme Dao attack wave was like a burst of wind as it withdrew all of a sudden when it swept before him. Qin Wushuang pulled the head of the spear and casually said, “This is the last time I’ll let you live.”

The monster looked at Qin Wushuang stupefied. This guy was also clear that it had already tried moving at its fastest. If it was not enough to win against the other party, then it would only be left with defeat.

Qin Wushuang remained calm and unruffled in the midst of chaos, yet still maintained his imposing manner that filled the scene. Dragon aura kept exploding from his body. From his arms, thighs, behind, and in front of his chest, his scale armor emitted dazzling lights accompanied by faint light.

“Are you human or of the dragon race?” the monster asked with its beast tongue.

“A human and also a dragon.”

Qin Wushuang let out a long hiss and raised the Hegemony Breaking Formation Spear to sweep away the torrential current rolled forth by his dragon Qi. As it floated on the tip of the spear, he said, “Big guy, are you wanting to fight or yield?”

Ai Simo who was on the side scuttled over and imitated Qin Wushuang’s tone with a low and muffled voice, “Fight or yield?”

When the monster looked at Ai Simo, an astonished look erupted from its eyes. “This is a dragon beast?”

“It’s a dragon beast,” Qin Wushuang replied with an indifferent tone.

“One already at the Supreme Dao Stage while still an infant? This...” The imposing manner of that monster was also weakened to some extent.

Clearly, this monster was a Supreme Dao spiritual beast and possessed incredibly powerful intelligence. As it judge the situation, it knew that it would not gain any advantage today.

It let out a strange cry and it seemed to shrink back its temper.

Qin Wushuang did not reduce his imposing manner as he looked at the monster with a stern gaze. He used all of his aura to lock the opponent for clearly, he feared the opponent wouldn’t surrender.

Initially that monster harbored little intentions. Upon seeing Qin Wushuang being extremely cautious, he knew there was no chance.

This monster acted obediently as it kept nodding its head and swaying its tail gently.

“Surrender?”

Qin Wushuang let out a roaring laugh and he dropped down to its same level. He swept with his sleeve and a surge of divine venom directly transformed into an invisible light that pierced into the forehead of the monster.

The monster snarled and its entire body could not refrain from quivering. After quivering, the entire body of the monster began to tremble more aggressively.

Clearly, after Qin Wushuang had entered the Supreme Dao Stage, the power of this divine puppet venomous technique was further enhanced. Even for a divine beast, under the attack of such a technique, it could not bear it.

Ai Simo looked at this scene with surprise. She covered up her little mouth and showcased an incredibly astonished expression.

In less than a moment, suddenly that monster raised its head and looked at Qin Wushuang with a slightly misty gaze. It walked over respectfully and stated, “Master.”

“Anyways, what’s your name?” Qin Wushuang waved his hand and asked.

“I am a mutated race of the dragon beast, belonging to the mutation of the Kylin race. You can call me Fire Kylin.” this spiritual beast was rather honest as it answered.

Qin Wushuang nodded. “Fire Kylin, a good name.”

For the Kylin Clan, although there were no such clans among the Non-Traditional Dragon Clans, it was a spiritual beast of the immemorial period.

Fire Kylin was a divine beast at the Sixth Calamity of the Coagulate Supreme Dao Stage. In terms of combat power, it was much stronger than He Ziniu. However, compared to Qin Wushuang who just broke into the Supreme Dao Stage, it was pale by comparison.

After forcing Fire Kylin as captive, Qin Wushuang was in a great mood. He asked, “Fire Kylin, you are the accompanying spiritual beast of that Scarlet Fire, so you must know where it is, right?”

A trace of unyielding color flashed across the face of Fire Kylin. “Without me leading the way, it’s utterly impossible for that dragon woman to find the Scarlet Fire!”

“Yes, then lead the way,” Qin Wushuang said lightly.

Fire Kylin immediately nodded. It stepped onto a magic cloud and took Qin Wushuang to drop on the island. Inside the island, Mi Jia appeared to be in somewhat of a frantic state. She had searched for a long time, but could not find the cave entrance.

When she saw Qin Wushuang coming, she cried out, “I am sure this Scarlet Fire is close; however, I don’t know where to begin the search for it.”

Then she saw Fire Kylin and she looked at Qin Wushuang with astonishment. “You guys...”

“Could we not have converted an enemy into a friend?” Qin Wushuang asked with a grinning face.

Mi Jia looked at Qin Wushuang as if she was looking at a pervert and gave a long sigh. “You win.”

“Fire Kylin, this is your territory, you are the boss.” Qin Wushuang waved his hand.

Fire Kylin felt fully respected. It felt incredibly inspired and it nodded with acknowledgement. “I will take you guys to enter the deep abyss. That Scarlet Fire is buried deep inside the ley lines and is contained within the fulcrum of spiritual Qi. It’s impossible to pick the Scarlet Fire while on the surface.”

After it finished speaking, the fiery hair and beard on top of Fire Kylin’s head stood up completely. A burst of blazing power supported an air stream that acted like a sharp cutting tool that directly split open a deep crack in the ground.

After it cut open this crack, Fire Kylin laughed. “Follow me.”

With a roll of the divine wind, Qin Wushuang and Mi Jia took Ai Simo to enter deep into the ground. Within the gloomy underground cave, there showcased paths of tangled and complicated tunnels.

When they arrived at the underground world, not only did they feel dampness and moisture, they perceived a strong heat source. Of course, it was because of the Scarlet Fire.

Following the lead of Fire Kylin, Mi Jia was getting happier. As she looked at the frosty white ring on her hand, she knew they were getting closer to the Scarlet Fire.

This tunnel led to about a few hundred metres beneath the ground. When they arrived about a thousand metres lower, suddenly they came to a clearing in front of them. A burst of red multicolored sunlight shot over them brilliantly making the complexion of these few people to become thoroughly red.

Fire Kylin pointed ahead of them. “Look, it’s there.”

An expansive underground cave appeared within everyone’s sight.

Deep inside that cave, there was a giant pond. However, there was not a single drop of water inside that giant pond. Instead, white smokes rose in spirals. Covered by this white smoke, it made the scene appear incredibly misty.

Fire Kylin crawled on the ground and suddenly, it spout out a breath of heat wave to blow away the white mist completely. The scene surrounding the giant pond was revealed before everyone’s eyes.

Appearing like an illusion, a transparent crystal object appeared vaguely. Inside the crystal object, there were balls of fire. The shape of this fire kept changing.

It kept transforming into different shapes like flowers and parasols. With every few breaths, it would transform once again. The situation appeared incredibly strange.

Before everyone approached it, they could feel its blazing high temperature. Even deep inside the cave, they felt as if they were in a steam basket.

Ai Simo kept wiping drops of sweat and yet, she looked at that strange flame while rolling her eyes.

“That’s it, the Scarlet Fire, it’s definitely right!” Mi Jia was incredibly excited as she pulled Qin Wushuang’s arm and jumped with excitement.

Fire Kylin rolled its eyes at her. “Unless you wish to die, don’t shout or roar.”

“What?” Mi Jia was somewhat annoyed at this defeated opponent. Although it was Qin Wushuang who defeated Fire Kylin, she already viewed it as her own defeated opponent consciously.

Her reason was that Qin Wushuang was her comrade on this trip. It was not much different when her comrade defeated a foe than if she had.

“This Scarlet Fire is the immemorial spiritual fire, the strongest object of heaven and earth that possesses great spirituality. If you cause a ruckus here, you could stir the heavenly spiritual Qi and cause the immemorial spiritual fire to explode. It could easily burn everyone into ashes!”

Although Fire Kylin’s words were suspicious of being over dramatic, it more or less caused Mi Jia to restrain herself. She twitched her mouth and one would not know what she was mumbling.

Qin Wushuang asked with a gentle smile, “Should it be a problem for us to extract the fire soul of the Scarlet Fire?”

Fire Kylin laughed. “Of course it would not be a problem. In fact, I’ve already extracted it. Only, I don’t have the fire soul sufficiently compacted. Or else, it’s unlikely I cannot defeat you, Master.”

Mi Jia laughed. “Even if you extracted it, certainly you could not defeat him. Your ‘Master’ didn’t even use his most powerful methods. When he wants to be, he is invincible to anyone beneath the Transformation Supreme Dao Stage!”

“That powerful? “Fire Kylin blinked its eyes and looked at Qin Wushuang with a somewhat surprised expression.

“She is overstating the fact, ha ha. Let’s not talk about this, but let’s see how we can extract the fire soul.”

Fire Kylin said, “It’s not very complicated to extract the fire soul. The difficult part is to congeal the fire soul, refine it, and form a systematic fire soul attack. Ah, it’s unfortunate that my attack methods are too plain and single. It would be good if I had some immemorial secret attack methods. In that case, it would certainly be powerful when combined with the attack of the fire soul.”

With an experienced person like Fire Kylin, it did save a lot of trouble for Qin Wushuang and Mi Jia. Despite this, it took them seven full days to absorb the fire soul.

Without Fire Kylin’s guidance and assistance, most likely it would have taken them double the time to consume it. Most likely, they would also have encountered unknown risks.

Mi Jia felt incredibly joyous as she felt the fire soul within her body. This polar region was indeed, incredibly smooth. She truly found the Scarlet Fire and also successfully extracted the fire soul!

With this Scarlet Fire soul, with time, her strength would certainly advance by leaps and bounds. Upon thinking of how one day she could appear with a much more powerful stance to shock the eighteen dragon clans, Mi Jia felt a sense of great accomplishment.

Shooting a glance at Qin Wushuang, when she saw his calm expression, she could not help but ask, “Hey, did you succeed in extracting it or not?”

“What do you think?” Qin Wushuang did not even bat an eyelid.

“Judging from your look, could it be you failed? Do you have good skill with the fire attribute? If it’s not strong, it’s really dangerous to extract this Scarlet Fire soul... You might not succeed.”

Fire Kylin added, “Humph, do you think you have formidable control of the fire attribute?”

Mi Jia was incredibly proud. “Of course, my fire attribute talent is much stronger than yours.”

She was not bluffing. Among the younger generation of the eighteen dragon clans, Mi Jia could almost rank as number one. It was certain that she possessed greater talent than this Fire Kylin.

Of course, with Fire Kylin’s thousand years of age, it was also normal for it to possess stronger power than Mi Jia.

“It’s meaningless to be more powerful than me. Before my master, your talent is not even worth mentioning,” Fire Kylin said with a somewhat disdained tone.

“Are you joking? I admit that he has formidable talent in other aspects. However, for the fire attribute, humph humph, I’ve never seen him use it. You dare say he’s stronger than me?” Mi Jia was somewhat unconvinced.

“Not to talk about others, you spent seven days to extract the fire soul. My master congealed it within three days. He used all other time to condense it and refine it. You think my master still hasn’t finish it?” Fire Kylin was not getting a good impression of Mi Jia.

“You... Three days?” Mi Jia was completely stunned.
