Divine-grade!
How is this possible?
After the initial shock, Qi Bei quickly realized that something was amiss. Any technique above the King-grade and any high-level magic spell required the original battle qi of the one who practiced the technique to condense. After learning the technique, it would turn into ashes.
In other words, this so-called Divine-grade “The Demonic Madness Battle Qi Technique” had never been learned by anyone.
Could it be that the disciple of the Dream Sea possessed such a precious treasure as the Divine-grade spell and didn’t bother to learn it?
The mental power of a mage is the primary factor that determines the strength of their magic. Could a mage resist the temptation to learn it?
Or could it be that the the Demonic Madness Battle Qi Technique itself had problems? It’s name was rather suggestive. But one wouldn’t know until they had learned it, right?
Qi Bei was both excited and suspicious, just like a starving person facing a table of delicious food but uncertain whether it was poisoned.
Suddenly, he sensed the presence of Huan Ying and withdrew his mind from the spatial ring. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw four figures flying towards him, Jin Gang, Huan Ying, Thirteen, and Sa Lingling.
“Young Master!”
“Master.”
Jin Gang, Huan Ying, and Thirteen exclaimed simultaneously, with excitement on their faces. They were covered in blood, indicating that they must have had a difficult journey.
Xiao Jiu and Yan Fangfei also opened their eyes. After a period of recovery, Xiao Jiu had almost fully regained her strength. However, Yan Fangfei’s Beast Spirit had been heavily injured and was not so easy to recover. Fortunately, she had Jinzi with her now, so self-preservation shouldn’t be a problem.
As Qi Bei questioned Huan Ying, Xiao Jiu and Thirteen simultaneously concealed their figures.
Yan Fangfei reached out to where Xiao Jiu disappeared, her pretty face full of disappointment.
“Where do we go now?” Sa Lingling asked, “This underground world is full of cracks, magma spewing, and beasts rampaging. This apocalyptic scene can’t help but make people feel depressed and negative.”
Qi Bei pondered for a moment and couldn’t help but feel a moment of confusion, but soon he forcibly erased this emotion.
He thought of the secret passage behind the underground chamber. Since there was no way back, they might as well try their luck.
“Let’s go check out the secret passage below. We will definitely be able to get out,” Qi Bei said firmly, with a powerful and confident gaze.
Qi Bei’s confidence instantly infected those around him. As the leader, if he was depressed and helpless, then the morale of the team would be lost as well.
At Qi Bei’s command, the Iron Armored Fire Dragon blasted the entire underground chamber to pieces, and the entrance to the secret passage was enlarged enough to accommodate its huge body.
The group entered the secret passage and headed deeper.
Fortunately, the secret passage was built in the architectural style of the Goblin race, so it was very spacious and could barely accommodate the Iron Armored Fire Dragon’s body.
The secret passage sloped down and was long with no end in sight.
Along the way, they could only hear the rumbling footsteps of the Iron Armored Fire Dragon echoing in the secret passage.
………
Dragon Phoenix Valley, deep in the wilderness of the mountains.
The valley was deep and full of poison barriers. From the nearby mountain tops, one could overlook the entire huge valley.
However, as long as you went deep into the valley, you could never walk to the other side of the valley. If you were not extremely familiar with the terrain, it was very likely that you would get lost and never find your way out.
Several nearby mountains had already gathered many strong people. Some, like Yao Rao, came out with their disciples to experience.
At this time, although there were occasional strange phenomena in the Dragon Phoenix Valley, there was already a steady flow of wild beasts entering the valley from all directions.
“Eighteenth Elder, there are so many beasts,” a female disciple of the Heavenly Mountain Peak exclaimed in surprise.
Yao Rao smiled and said, “Just wait and see, you’ll see what ‘so many’ really means. Right now, this is just a warm-up, and the real show hasn’t even started yet.”
The female disciple stuck out her tongue, and the other disciples had nervous and expectant expressions on their faces.
“Eighteenth Elder, can we go hunt these beasts on the periphery now?” asked another male disciple.
Yao Rao shook her head and looked towards Ming Yue, saying with a smile, “Ming Yue, why don’t you tell them why we can’t?”
Ming Yue spoke plainly, “As the Eighteenth Elder said, this isn’t even the prelude. When the Dragon Phoenix Visions start to appear, there will definitely be wave after wave of beasts. If we go down now, it’s no different than throwing ourselves to our deaths.”
“You’re right. When you come out to gain experience, strength is only one aspect. You should think and observe more when faced with situations. Otherwise, you’ll only put yourself in danger. The identity of a Heavenly Mountain Peak disciple isn’t just a talisman for protection. It represents a kind of honor. I hope you won’t bring shame to our sect in the future.” Yao Rao spoke, conscientiously fulfilling her duties as a senior elder, patiently explaining the way of the world to these new disciples. Whether they could comprehend it or not would depend on themselves.
Just then, a large dark cloud suddenly drifted over from the horizon, completely blocking out the sun.
The once bright sky became gloomy, but the wind stopped, and the surrounding world fell silent.
Yao Rao’s beautiful eyes narrowed. She knew that the Dragon Phoenix visions were about to appear.
Suddenly, a beam of golden light shot straight up into the sky from the center of the Dragon Phoenix Valley, piercing through the dark clouds, which was immediately dyed with a layer of golden light.
Then, the dark cloud began to roll and change, faintly taking on the form of a dragon.
However, this dragon was not like the five-clawed divine dragon in Qi Bei’s Dragon Seal, but a golden dragon with six wings, two claws, and a single horn on its head.
Another beam of silver-purple light shot up from the Dragon Phoenix Valley and towards the sky. The dark sky was instantly covered in lightning, and the deafening sound of thunder shook the heavens and the earth.
Many strong experts who were seeing this scene for the first time turned pale. The magnificent and unpredictable power was enough to make even the strongest of experts feel fear from the depths of their hearts.
The lightning-covered dark cloud rolled and transformed into a silver-purple phoenix, intertwining with the golden dragon. At the same time, the sound of dragon roars and phoenix cries pierced through the valley and the surrounding mountains began to tremble.
Soon, the slight tremors turned into violent ones. The sounds of beastly roars drew closer. The earth shook and the mountains trembled!
Countless magical beasts appeared from all directions, covering the mountains and forests, densely packed and roaring madly as they charged towards the Dragon Phoenix Valley. In the sky, flying beasts that blotted out the sun also rushed towards the valley.
Yao Rao waved her hand and a beam of light enveloped her and her eight disciples. Immediately, the incoming tide of beasts automatically deviated from them, passing by on both sides or leaping over them.
The eight disciples’ faces turned pale, even the Ming Yue was no exception. For them, who had just come down from the mountain to gain experience, this terrifying tide of beasts had caused an enormous psychological impact.
After a while, the tide of beasts all rushed into the Dragon Phoenix Valley.
It was strange that although the Dragon Phoenix Valley was huge, it should not have been able to accommodate so many magic beasts. However, the fact was right in front of them, with only a few low-level beasts roaming outside the valley.
The entangled dragon and phoenix in the sky suddenly dispersed, transforming back into a beam of golden light and a beam of silver-purple light that returned to the valley. The dark clouds dissipated, and the bright sunlight shone on the earth once again.
“If you want to hunt, go ahead and stay on the outskirts. Don’t go too deep inside. The strength of the magical beasts inside is getting stronger and stronger, and you won’t be able to handle them,” Yao Rao said to her eight disciples.
“Yes,” the eight disciples of the Heavenly Mountain Peak replied and flew towards the Dragon Phoenix Valley.
Yao Rao, on the other hand, was carried away by a gust of wind, and she was gone in a flash.
…..
“Master, we’ve reached the end,” Thirteen’s voice sounded in Qi Bei’s ear.
Turning a corner, Qi Bei saw a faint blue light ahead and he quickly flew towards it like lightning.
At the end of the secret passage, Qi Bei took a peek and his pupils shrank into pinpoints. He quickly withdrew his head and made a gesture for the others to be silent.
Outside was a huge underground space with a river of rolling magma at the bottom, which was blue in color just like the one he saw on the cliff. On both sides of the blue magma river, there were densely packed magic beasts. Blue lights floated up from the river, and drifted into these magic beasts, which made him feel uneasy.
“Save me, save me…” the ethereal voice echoed in Qi Bei’s mind again, but this time it had turned into Huan Ying’s voice.
The Dragon Seal on Qi Bei’s palm suddenly burned, dispelling the voice.
Thinking back now, that horned ferocious beast should have crawled in through this secret passage. However, what kind of life form was the blue light that flew out of the blue magma?
At this moment, the others also peeked out quietly, their faces turning pale.
Suddenly, the seemingly quiet magic beasts began to stir, their ferocity that had been suppressed by some force was completely unleashed.
In an instant, countless magic beasts on both sides of the blue magma river began to fight each other. Magic flew in all directions, blood spattered, and the roar of the beasts echoed like thunder in this underground space.
Listening to this sound, Qi Bei and his group felt their hearts filled with anger and even a desire to kill.
The eyes of Jin Gang turned red first, his fists clenched tightly, his arms also began to swell, showing signs of berserking.
“Crack.”
“Snap!” Qi Bei placed a hand on Jin Gang’s shoulder, and a burst of internal energy shook him, causing Jin Gang’s red eyes to immediately recover, revealing a look of fear.
Seeing that the whole group was affected, and even the Iron Armored Fire Dragon appeared restless, Qi Bei whispered, “Let’s go back and take cover.”
But at that moment, a powerful earth magic was released around the secret passage, causing the entire passage to collapse, and the group at the entrance fell down.
“Roar…” The Iron Armored Fire Dragon roared and spewed out dozens of flames, wiping out a dense group of monsters and beasts below.
Divine-grade!
