55: Chapter 55 Capture a Demon Saint as a Mount?

Xie Wushang's gaze flickered slightly as he swept his eyes forward.

Before him was an incomparably huge sea of fire.

Above the sea of fire, ninety-nine long bridges extended forward.

Connecting to a suspended divine mountain.

The divine mountain stood tall, covering an area of a hundred miles. On the mountain stood a gigantic jiuyang emperor pagoda a thousand feet tall, with nine suns hanging high at its top.

The nine suns filled the sky, illuminating the entire realm.

The blazing sun emperor fire burned so intensely that even the Void Realm was twisting.

Vast imperial might permeated from the pagoda, filling the entire Secret Realm.

In the drill ground before the jiuyang emperor pagoda, there was also an emperor monument.

The emperor monument left behind the imperial techniques of Great Emperor Jiuyang.

However, before the Emperor Pagoda, there was a fire lake containing emperor-grade true fire, which could be used to cleanse the marrow and wash the bones.

If a quasi-emperor refined even a wisp, they would also benefit endlessly.

Anyone who wanted to enter the jiuyang emperor pagoda had to first cross the divine mountain's fire lake.

"It is Revered Master's jiuyang emperor pagoda... Thirty thousand years! This seat has finally seen it again!"

In Jiang Nianyang's Sea of Consciousness, the spirit of tianyang treasure mirror widened its eyes and spoke spiritedly.

"Disciple, feel free to charge into this jiuyang emperor pagoda... This Revered Master and this pagoda's spirit are brothers... We will definitely protect you in successfully passing the trials and obtaining the secret techniques within..." His face was fiery as he looked at Jiang Nianyang; as long as he refined a wisp of imperial flame, it could forge the Emperor Foundation for his own Disciple, and the imperial techniques within were also extremely powerful, learning even one could allow someone to look down upon all heroes.

"Mn!"

Jiang Nianyang nodded with a fiery expression.

"Eh, that brat's expression is not right." Suddenly, the spirit of tianyang treasure mirror looked toward Xie Wushang beside them.

Yet he saw that Xie Wushang was also looking at the jiuyang emperor pagoda ahead.

"Revered Master... What treasures did you leave behind in this Emperor Pagoda?" In Xie Wushang's Sea of Consciousness, his Primordial Spirit spoke.

disaster prison bead space.

Great Emperor Jiuyang's dharma body manifested. He narrowed his eyes, looking at the jiuyang emperor pagoda ahead, his heart also surging with emotion.

"This Revered Master left behind this Emperor Pagoda solely to temper the younger generation of the Jiang Clan... I didn't leave behind any emperor-grade medicinal herbs or rare minerals."

"What a pity!" Great Emperor Jiuyang sighed.

"However, the imperial fire inside... can help you solidify your Emperor Foundation! When you step into the Quasi-Emperor Realm, you can enter and refine it."

"Inside that emperor monument, a wisp of this Revered Master's true spirit still remains. Refining it... this Revered Master's recovery of Emperor Realm cultivation is within sight."

When looking at the emperor monument, Great Emperor Jiuyang's gaze was burning hot.

"Lord Divine Child... Within Jiuyang Emperor Valley, the greatest Opportunity is the 'Jiuyang Imperial Technique' contained within the emperor monument... as well as the 《Jiuyang Emperor Scripture》 contained within the jiuyang emperor pagoda. It is said that these are the insights of our clan's Great Emperor Jiuyang when he attained the Dao and became an emperor. If you can observe them, you will have the Opportunity in the future to carry the Great Dao with the method of predecessors and attain the Dao to become an emperor." Jiang Zhao explained with a smile.

"Wanting to enter the jiuyang emperor pagoda... there are heavy barriers..."

Beside them, Jiang Lie also began to explain.

"First, we must cross the trial of the Jiuyang Emperor Pool, otherwise we won't be able to step onto the divine platform at all to observe the Profound Truth of the emperor monument."

"A trial?" A smile appeared on the corner of Xie Wushang's mouth.

Did he still need a trial?

"Since we're here, let's go take a look!" Xie Wushang took his daughter's hand, taking large strides as he stepped onto a long bridge ahead.

Jiang Nianyang followed along as well.

Jiang Lie and Jiang Zhao followed behind.

Flames rolled beneath the bridge, and from time to time, Fire Dragon Fish poked their heads out to look at the people on the bridge.

These Fire Dragon Fish had ferocious gazes, all having reached the seventh realm.

Even eighth-realm Fire Dragon Fish existed.

A Fire Dragon Fish leaped out, looking disdainfully at Xie Wushang, Jiang Ruoxi, and the three of them.

"Only at the seventh realm, yet you actually dare to come to the Emperor Realm."

"That fellow is only at the sixth realm..."

"Eat him, eat them!" Several Fire Dragon Fish pounced over after catching sight of Xie Wushang and Jiang Nianyang on the fire bridge.

The three Fire Dragon Fish were as large as hills. Opening their mouths to inhale, a terrifying devouring force swept toward Xie Wushang.

"It's eighth-realm Fire Dragon Fish..." Seeing this, Jiang Zhao and Jiang Lie felt a chill in their hearts and hurriedly blocked in front of Xie Wushang.

However, before Jiang Zhao and Jiang Lie could make a move, Xie Wushang had already taken large strides and walked to the edge of the bridge.

He coldly looked at the three Fire Dragon Fish.

"Beasts... how dare you kill your Revered Master." Xie Wushang's gaze flashed, and within his pupils, Dao patterns bloomed out.

A terrifying Divine Soul Domain swept forward.

Those three Fire Dragon Fish immediately felt their minds tremble, as if struck by lightning, and their bodies stopped in mid-air.

In the sea of fire beneath the bridge, the other eager Fire Dragon Fish wore looks of astonishment.

"What is wrong with the three Yan brothers?"

"They stopped in mid-air, could they have become fools?" A group of Fire Dragon Fish looked at each other in dismay.

Just at this moment, they saw Xie Wushang on the bridge slowly extend his palm, flames sweeping out from his fingertips.

"Die!" Xie Wushang's gaze was icy, his tone carrying majesty. As the fingertip flames rolled out, red lightning flashed within them.

Whoosh!

The flames swept past, submerging the three Dragon Fish. A flash of lightning within cleaved them into ashes.

The three eighth-realm Dragon Fish thus perished.

The flames in the air gradually dissipated, and lightning still flickered, splitting the Void Realm until it twisted.

"Dead, they're dead?"

"The three Yan brothers are eighth-realm mighty figures!"

"This human kid is only at the sixth realm... yet he can instantly kill an eighth-realm mighty figure. What a Prodigy!"

"Run!"

Hundreds of Dragon Fish that had leaped into mid-air shivered, hurriedly turning their heads and plunging into the sea of fire below, disappearing from sight.

"Three Dragon Fish were just instantly killed like that?" Jiang Lie wore a look of shock.

"Just now... what happened?" Jiang Zhao took a deep breath.

He hadn't even clearly seen how Xie Wushang suppressed those three eighth-realm Fire Dragon Fish.

"Slaying an enemy two realms higher, he is truly our clan's Divine Child!" The two exchanged glances and immediately looked at Xie Wushang with faces full of respect.

"They're wiped out? I haven't even made a move yet!" Jiang Ruoxi said, looking somewhat unsatisfied at the Dragon Fish that had plunged into the lake.

"Uncle Wushang is truly amazing!" Jiang Nianyang looked at Xie Wushang with a face full of adoration.

"To destroy an eighth-realm Dragon Fish while only at the sixth realm... If he steps into the seventh realm, I wonder who is stronger between us?"

His gaze was fiery and he was itching to move, wanting to battle Uncle Wushang.

"Lord Divine Child, I just forgot to mention to you that there are Spirit Beasts in the sea of fire... the strongest ones even reach the Saint Realm."

Jiang Zhao said with a bit of panic, bowing toward Xie Wushang.

"We ask Lord Divine Child for forgiveness." Jiang Lie bowed and said.

For Spirit Beasts to collide with the Divine Child—if he held them accountable, they would also be hard-pressed to escape blame.

"A minor matter." Xie Wushang wore a calm expression.

"Saint Realm Spirit Beasts? Can we catch them to be spirit pets?" Jiang Ruoxi blinked her gem-like eyes and looked toward the sea of fire.

"Naturally we can, but I'm afraid we'd have to invite the eleventh-realm Old Ancestor for it to work." Jiang Lie said with a bit of embarrassment.

"As expected of the Goddess... Right from the start, she wants to catch a ninth-realm Monster Saint as a mount." Jiang Lie muttered inwardly.

"Legend has it that Goddess's maternal clan comes from the Celestial Emperor Family." Jiang Zhao muttered, "Now it seems, that should be correct."

If not hailing from the Celestial Emperor Family, which child would dare to boast so boldly?

At such a young age, catching a Monster Saint as a mount?

"Xixi, what kind of Dragon Fish do you like? Daddy will go catch one for you." Seeing his daughter like them, Xie Wushang said dotingly.

"Daddy, Daughter wants to go catch a Monster Saint herself, that way there will be a sense of accomplishment." Jiang Ruoxi blinked her gem-like eyes and said quite obediently.

"Very well, you can just use this to temper yourself." Xie Wushang nodded slightly.

"Daddy is still only at the sixth realm right now, if he goes to catch a Monster Saint, he might get hurt." Ruoxi looked at Daddy and thought inwardly.

Clearly, she was afraid Daddy would get hurt, which is why she said she wanted to go catch the Monster Saint herself.

"What! This little girl has such a big mouth, she actually wants to catch our clan's Monster Saint as a mount?"

"Let's go, go notify the Monster Saint, and let his old self teach this little girl a lesson."

In the sea of fire, another batch of Fire Dragon Fish raised their heads, secretly looking at Xie Wushang, Jiang Ruoxi, and the others on the bridge.

Upon hearing Jiang Ruoxi's words, many Dragon Fish wore indignant expressions and dove into the sea of fire to report this news to the Monster Saint.

A seven-year-old little girl actually said she wanted to catch a Monster Saint as a mount herself.

This was simply an extreme humiliation.

An unprecedented humiliation in ten thousand years.

Xie Wushang and the others continued forward.

The fire bridge was very long. Although the Fire Dragon Fish below gritted their teeth in anger, none of them dared to make a rash move.

After all, the man on the bridge had wiped out an eighth-realm great demon with a flick of his hand, possessing at least half-Saint strength.

Clearly, it was not someone an ordinary great demon could provoke.

Yet there were still Dragon Fish secretly following, seeming to keep watch.

In a palace within the sea of fire.

The Old Ancestor of the Fire Dragon Fish clan, Yu Liuyan, who had already transformed into a human form, was sitting cross-legged on a lotus platform, closing his eyes to comprehend the Profound Truth of the Great Dao.

Before him unexpectedly stood a quasi-emperor-grade ancient monument.

It was left behind by Great Emperor Jiuyang in former years and was moved to the fire sea palace by their Old Ancestor.

"Old Ancestor, Old Ancestor, bad news!" A six-foot-long Dragon Fish swam over, bowing and saluting to Yu Liuyan ahead.

Yu Liuyan opened his eyes.

He had already stepped into the Saint Realm, looking no different from the Human Race, except that there were dragon scales on his face, along with two long dragon whiskers.

"What is the panic about?" Yu Liuyan opened his eyes and spoke with considerable majesty. Within his pupils, a sea of fire rose and fell.

"Old Ancestor, a descendant of the Jiang Clan has slain three eighth-realm mighty figures of our clan, and even boasted that they want to catch Old Ancestor as a mount."

The Fire Dragon Fish cried out sorrowfully.

"What! Slaying my descendants, and wanting to catch this Saint as a mount? Who is so bold? Even the Jiang Clan's Lord Saint wouldn't dare."

Yu Liuyan was furious. He suddenly stood up, and flames surged wildly behind him, causing the sea of fire to whip up thousands of heavy waves.

"It's a seven-year-old little girl, and a sixth-realm brat..." said the Fire Dragon Fish.

"A seven-year-old little girl, and a sixth-realm brat? Hmph, it seems they are the second generation of the Jiang Clan..."

"This seat is a half-step Saint King at the very least, even the Jiang Clan's Lord Saint has to show three points of courtesy, yet how dare they act so presumptuously?"

"Have they forgotten that our clan are Great Emperor Jiuyang's fish?"

"Let's go, this seat wants to see who gave those few little brats the guts to speak wild words at the Jiuyang Secret Realm."

Having finished speaking, Yu Liuyan flew out of the palace.
