101: Chapter 101 The Lord's Wrath
Behind Xiao Yue, Chi Anlin let out a soft sigh; he could feel Xiao Yue's sorrow.
He wanted to reach out and rub Xiao Yue's head, but then he remembered that Xiao Yue's personality was that of a little wolf with very strong self-esteem... though right now, he didn't really look like a 'little wolf' anymore.
Taking off his worn-out shoes that were hanging by his ankles, Chi Anlin said to Xiao Yue, "The others will be here soon. Let's head in first. That fellow Xiao Xing has good luck; nothing will happen to him."
In the sea of consciousness, the little sun belonging to Xiao Xing was still burning bright, meaning Xiao Xing wasn't injured yet.
Looking at the fiery red region ahead, Chi Anlin stepped in with some helplessness. He was ice-attributed, so he wouldn't fare well in a place like this.
Xiao Yue stared at the entrance of the Fire Domain, his ice-blue eyes dimming.
——————
Within the Fire Domain, a slender female Wolf Beast with fur like flames was licking her several cubs.
A long time ago, she had been attacked by an ice-attribute demonic beast, and the frost poison in her body had never dissipated.
However, after becoming pregnant with these cubs, the frost poison had mysteriously vanished, allowing her to recover her former combat strength.
Among the cubs, except for the first-born eldest who was relatively weak, the others were all quite robust.
Now that the cubs had grown their fur, the female wolf discovered with some surprise that the first cub was actually white all over.
Born weak and with fur that was far too conspicuous, this cub was destined to be abandoned.
In this world, the environment for demonic beasts was extremely dangerous. They not only faced crushing attacks from other demonic beasts with higher realms but also many human cultivators who came to hunt for crystal cores.
The female wolf looked at her cub, a trace of sorrow flashing in her eyes.
Even if she allowed the cub to remain in the territory, the other members of the pack would use the cub as a suicide squad to scout the territories of other demonic beasts.
In the wolf race, the old, the weak, the sick, and the disabled were all thrown out as bait.
Later, as the wolf cubs grew day by day, that white wolf cub became increasingly strange.
Ice-attribute spiritual energy actually began to manifest within its body.
This meant the little wolf was even less capable of surviving in this place. Ice-attribute demonic beasts in the Fire Domain were not only suppressed by the elemental attribute but would also be hunted down by other demonic beasts.
Ultimately, the mother wolf abandoned this little white wolf.

Chi Anlin rode Xiao Yue, traversing through the Fire Domain.
Along the way, if it weren't for Xiao Yue's strong sensory abilities and the concealment of the breath concealing ring, they might have been besieged by demonic beasts long ago.
Even just at the periphery of the Fire Domain, Chi Anlin saw many First Realm Demonic Beasts. This place was different from the forest; there might be even more high-realm demonic beasts inside.
In his sea of consciousness, Chi Anlin kept communicating with Xiao Xing. According to Xiao Xing's description, it was currently under a star, surrounded by bird nests.
Xiao Xing's description was as good as no description at all, but fortunately, the fellow was still relatively safe. He even mentioned that he had found a small pet.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Xiao Yue came to an abrupt halt.
"Search separately?" Chi Anlin was stunned for a moment, looking at Xiao Yue with some suspicion.
He knew Xiao Yue had something on his mind. Along the way, Chi Anlin had guessed it; his father had once said Xiao Yue was a mutated demonic beast found in a place full of fire-type demonic beasts.
A place full of fire-type demonic beasts... it should be here, right?
"Go on, then. Just be safe." Chi Anlin thought for a moment and handed the Demon Subduing King's great dao crystal to Xiao Yue.
"This is the Demon Subduing King's great dao crystal. If you encounter danger, trigger it immediately. Although kings won't be born in this Otherworld, there might be kings who have come from other worlds."
After a few more instructions, Chi Anlin let Xiao Yue leave. With the Demon Subduing King's great dao crystal, Xiao Yue shouldn't encounter any real danger.
Xiao Yue disappeared near a volcanic crater. Chi Anlin shook his head and continued walking toward an area with more trees.
The trees here were quite special, all containing fire-attribute spiritual energy. Chi Anlin walked up to a completely red tree, circulated spiritual energy in his fist, and smashed it directly at the roots.
The tree crashed down. With a thought, Chi Anlin stored it directly into his space ring.
This tree had many fiery red fruits. Chi Anlin had just used Appraisal on them; they were all Mortal Rank Fire Cloud Fruits, which could be taken to the Broodmother's space to be planted.
Chi Anlin planned to use the Small Worlds of a few Transport Ant Soldiers for farming once the Broodmother produced some.
Although the Transport Ant Soldiers' Small Worlds wouldn't generate spiritual energy on their own, he could use Fusion on them.
After collecting a few Fire Cloud Trees into his space ring, Chi Anlin continued searching for Xiao Xing's whereabouts.
That eagle from before was a First Realm Demonic Beast, so its nest shouldn't be deep within the Fire Domain; otherwise, the newly hatched eaglets wouldn't be able to withstand such heat.
Chi Anlin searched relentlessly for the eagle's nest, while the Broodmother's Ant Soldiers also arrived at the Fire Domain, spreading out immediately to find Xiao Xing.
On the Ice Spirit Gryphon's side, it didn't enter the Fire Domain directly but hovered at the edge. Fire-type demonic beasts had a strong sense of territory. Although they fought among themselves constantly, if the Ice Spirit Gryphon's aura was sensed, they would surely all swarm to attack it.
Meanwhile, the Blood Devouring King began a massacre as soon as he entered the Fire Domain, rapidly increasing his strength.
At this moment, deep within the Fire Domain, a massive volcano suddenly erupted. The surrounding demonic beasts hissed and roared in unison, beginning to flee.
A giant claw emerged from the magma, dragging down a five-meter-long fire-type bird beast.
The magma churned like boiling water. The fire-type bird beast was dragged into the magma by the giant claw, lacking any ability to struggle.
A bone-chilling chewing sound echoed. The next moment, the terrifying creature in the magma seemed to sense something and suddenly let out a roar.
The volcano erupted, and dark red magma surged out amidst billowing black smoke, swallowing the sky. A giant beast with a body size of at least a hundred meters spread its wings and took flight.
For a moment, it was as if doomsday had arrived. Countless demonic beasts wailed as they fled.
They weren't afraid of the magma—to them, magma was like warm water. What they feared was that suddenly enraged Lord.
The King of the Fire Domain, the Raging Flame Skeleton Dragon.
In the distance, Chi Anlin was searching for Xiao Xing when he suddenly felt the ground shake violently, just like the 'Earth Dragon Turning' when the spaces merged that day.
A terrifying roar echoed. Chi Anlin was stunned. What on earth was that?
He looked up and saw the distant horizon filled with red light, the night sky looking as if it were being incinerated by flames.
"I can't be that unlucky, can I?" Chi Anlin muttered. Logically, the highest level of demonic beasts in the Lesser Beast Realm should only be Earth Rank, but the power he was witnessing didn't seem like something an Earth Rank demonic beast could cause.
