As Yuan Ming constantly shuttled through during his flying escape, the Green Black Forest gradually faded in color, becoming increasingly lush and vibrant with vitality.

Three days later, Yuan Ming finally flew over the vast forest, crossed a steep and perilous cliff, and the view suddenly opened up—a vast, limitless blue ocean lay before him.

He crossed the turbulent sea without hesitation, continuing forward.

As he got closer to his destination, the glow on the guiding gray talisman became increasingly dazzling and radiant.

Yuan Ming hastened all the way, nonstop, and half a month later, he finally arrived at the heart of a vast desert.

There, a scorching sea of fire spanned a hundred miles in circumference, as if the fiercest flames in the world converged here.

He stood at the edge of the sea of fire, with an endless black glazed coastline underfoot, a peculiar sight formed by sand melted by high heat.

In front of him, the tumbling flames roared like an enraged giant beast.

In the depths of the sea of fire, the flames rose high and majestic, with fiery tornadoes soaring up to the sky and down to the earth, creating an imposing and magnificent picture.

Yuan Ming lightly pinched the gray talisman between his fingers, which was trembling incessantly at this moment, radiating light, clearly indicating that it had guided him to this journey's destination.

Just as Yuan Ming put away the talisman, a figure suddenly appeared beside him—it was Void.

"The place indicated by the talisman is indeed here. You're really lucky; the Fire Origin Spiritual Object is hidden in the depths of this sea of fire," Void's voice was calm and deep.

Yuan Ming furrowed his brow slightly, staring at the sea of fire before him, and slowly said, "The map given by Daoist Mu does record this area. It should be the Heavenly Slaughter Fire Domain they mentioned, rumored to be extremely dangerous."

"That's right. This sea of fire seems to burn everything to ashes, and although no living creatures appear to be on the surface, there are indeed many spirit-body-form Fire Spirits hidden within. They use the sea of fire as their foundation, formless and intangible, very hard to deal with," Void nodded in agreement.

"The Jade Scroll mentions that these Fire Spirits will devour the Spiritual Power and Soul Power of those who enter, making one easily fall victim if not careful. Numerous geniuses from the Chuyun Realm who came here to explore have perished in this sea of fire," Yuan Ming said with a somber expression.

"Since you can control the Shura Palace, why not try using its void teleportation Divine Skills to travel?" Void suggested.

"I was planning to do just that," Yuan Ming nodded in agreement.

Subsequently, Void's figure flashed and returned to the Stealing Heaven Tripod, while Yuan Ming activated the Shura Palace, and resolutely charged into the sea of fire.

Upon entering the sea of fire, Yuan Ming sensed dozens of spirit bodies emerging from the flames, rushing towards the Shura Palace.

However, before those Fire Spirits could get close, the Shura Palace had already vanished into the void, disappearing without a trace.

When the Shura Palace reappeared, more Fire Spirits surrounded it, as if they were endowed with endless vitality and power by this sea of fire.

As Yuan Ming ventured deeper into the sea of fire, the number of Fire Spirits he encountered increased significantly, including some with unusually strong fluctuations of Spiritual Power.

When the Shura Palace performed void teleportation for the fourth time, dozens of fire giants, each nearly ten zhang tall, blocked the way.

They wielded giant axes of fire, aggressive in demeanor, and the aura they emitted had already reached the level of Level 4 Demon Beasts.

Even more peculiar was that these fire giants also emitted significant Soul Power fluctuations, clearly extraordinary.

Detecting this, Yuan Ming no longer hastened on his way, and with a flash, he was outside the Shura Palace.

He hovered in mid-air above the sea of fire, with raging flames and scorching heat waves below, making his robes flutter and hair fly, while the Fire Emperor True Intent circulating within resisted the searing heat.

Upon seeing a living creature appear, those fire giants immediately charged at him frantically, swinging their fiery giant axes to chop down.

Amidst the whistling wind, countless axe shadows enveloped in flames, each strike carrying the impact of explosive flames, the ground melting like a candle into lava, nearly rivaling the power of a Level 6 Demon Beast's strike.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming did not choose to engage the Fire Spirits immediately but instead directly activated the Primordial Dao Seal.

In the next moment, a massive mixed hole vortex manifested directly above his head.

The colossal devouring force radiated in all directions, and the void instantly seemed to collapse into a huge deep pit, pulling in dozens of Fire Spirits without resistance.

The mixed hole vortex rotated rapidly, refining all the Fire Spirits into a pure golden-red flame.

He looked surprised, as this Flame Spiritual Power actually contained plenty of Sun Essence Fire.

Yuan Ming absorbed this golden-red flame, and the Sun Essence Fire incorporated into his physical body, significantly enhancing his Qi Blood Power.

Besides the golden-red flame, those Fire Spirits also yielded a strand of Soul Power.

These Fire Spirits' spiritual intelligence was immature, with little emotional impurities in the Soul Power, and having been refined by the Primordial Dao Seal, this Soul Power was exceedingly pure, comparable to Moonlight Power, and could be directly absorbed.

"It's just a pity that my Moonlight Technique is already cultivated to its peak, with no follow-up Cultivation Technique to advance further," Yuan Ming said somewhat regretfully.

At this moment, a spark of inspiration suddenly struck him, and with a flick of his wrist, he took out the Soul Destroying Sword.

"Come out," Yuan Ming shook his wrist, a flash of light on the sword, and a young girl's figure emerged from it.

Dressed in a black long dress, with a slender frame and aloof expression, she was clearly the Sword Spirit of the Soul Destroying Sword.

"This Soul Power is beneficial to you, swallow and refine it," Yuan Ming said.

As he spoke, he formed a ball with his hands, extracting the refined Soul Power, compressing it into black Round Orbs the size of dragon eyes, and handed them to the young girl.

"Thank you, Master." The girl's eyes lit up with a hint of surprise, and she quickly received it.

Her slender fingers picked up a Soul Pearl and sent it into her mouth. Without swallowing or chewing, the Soul Pearl transformed into pure Soul Power, absorbed by the Sword Spirit.

The girl's head tilted slightly back, and her face immediately showed a trace of satisfaction, as if she had tasted an unparalleled human delicacy.

After she swallowed seven or eight compressed Soul Pearls, the aura emanating from her body noticeably increased.

"Indeed, it's highly beneficial." Yuan Ming nodded secretly and continued forward.

These Fire Spirits contained a lot of good things, and he was no longer in a hurry to move forward. Instead, he openly released his aura, attracting more Fire Spirits to gather towards him.

The sea of fire below surged intensely, with rolling fire waves rushing in like a tide.

For a moment, countless Fire Spirits emerged from the sea of fire, pouncing towards him.

Among these Fire Spirits, those with powerful strength, already reaching the level of Level 4 demon creatures, numbered over a hundred, and those below Level 3 were countless.

"Good timing!"

Yuan Ming's eyes gleamed with joy. With a wave of his hand, the Mixed Hole Vortex spun out, doubling in size, and began to devour those Fire Spirits even more fiercely, refining them into Golden Red Flames and Soul Power.

Yuan Ming absorbed the Golden Red Flames, while the Soul Power continually compressed into Soul Pearls for the Soul Destroying Sword Spirit to consume and absorb.

About a cup of tea's time later, the sword spirit girl, who was already full, let out a burp and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "Master, I can't eat anymore... I need to refine for a while to fully absorb."

Sensing the continuous growth of Qi-Blood Power, Yuan Ming felt secretly delighted, then swept his sleeve.

A Red Light flashed, and the Xi He Tablet appeared nearby.

"Why did you call me out?" Xi Hezi's figure flickered, appearing beside Yuan Ming.

"The Fire Spirits here contain pure Flame Spiritual Power and Soul Power, which should also benefit you." Yuan Ming said.

"Oh, really?" Xi Hezi mumbled in doubt but still raised a hand and waved.

The Xi He Tablet transformed into a red meteorite, crashing into the group of Fire Spirits ahead.

Xi Hezi activated the Illusion Sun True Intent, smashing the bodies of seven or eight Fire Spirits.

As she formed seals with both hands, a Great Sun's shadow rose slowly from within the Xi He Tablet, emitting a powerful suction force.

Those shattered Fire Spirits turned into countless fragments, swirling into a stream, rushing towards the Xi He Tablet.

The fiery red light on the Xi He Tablet suddenly shone brightly, and a spirit light appeared on Xi Hezi, who was floating nearby. Her aura also steadily increased.

"Why didn't you call me out earlier in such a good place?" Xi Hezi was overjoyed.

Over the years, aside from refining the Shura Palace, she had been using the spiritual materials Yuan Ming had plundered from everywhere to repair the Xi He Tablet, which had already been restored. Now, what it lacked was Spiritual Power.

These Fire Spirits were the perfect supplements for the Xi He Tablet.

Xi Hezi controlled the Stele to pounce on other Fire Spirits, engaging in a massacre.

Seeing this, Yuan Ming again swept his sleeve, and another figure emerged, precisely the Great Sun Glaze Flame.

A while ago, the Great Sun Glaze Flame helped the Vajra Breakthrough, and afterward, it had been assisting Xi Hezi in forging the Shura Palace, consuming a lot of energy, appearing a size smaller, and its aura significantly reduced.

Yuan Ming informed the Great Sun Glaze Flame about the situation of the Sun Essence Fire contained within the Fire Spirits here.

The Great Sun Glaze Flame was in dire need of replenishment and immediately attacked the gathering Fire Spirits.

The Great Sun Glaze Flame, being a Heavenly Fire, possessed an innate suppression over these Fire Spirits, hunting faster than the Xi He Tablet, constantly refining the Sun Essence Fire within the Fire Spirits.

After all the gathered Fire Spirits were slaughtered, Yuan Ming continued forward.

On the ensuing journey, the encountered Fire Spirits grew increasingly powerful, with even Level 5 and Level 6 Fire Spirits constantly appearing.

However, with Yuan Ming's current strength, he merely needed to sweep through, killing all the encountered Fire Spirits along the way.

Everyone benefited greatly; Yuan Ming's physical body improved significantly, approaching mid-stage Undying Body.

The Xi He Tablet also recovered a large part of its power, but the biggest gain was for the Great Sun Glaze Flame, which restored the previously lost Primordial Qi completely.

After a day and night, a massive red mountain appeared in the sea of fire ahead, with the arrow on the gray talisman pointing towards it.

Wherever Spiritual Objects grow, there are often Exotic Beasts guarding them. From a distance, Yuan Ming put away the Great Sun Glaze Flame and the Xi He Tablet, shielding his celestial aura, then quietly approached.

Upon reaching the mountain, Yuan Ming discovered that the barren red mountain was entirely made of a fire-red Crystal Stone, with flame-shaped patterns faintly visible on the surface, shimmering under the light of nearby flames.

"This is Fire Essence Rock!" Yuan Ming's eyes lit up.

Fire Essence Rock is a high-grade Fire Attribute Spiritual Material, exceptionally Hard, containing abundant Fire Attribute Spiritual Power, a precious material dreamt of for refining Fire Attribute Spiritual Treasure. A palm-sized piece can sell for tens of thousands of Spirit Stones.

This entire mountain is made of Fire Essence Rock. If moved to the Chuyun Realm, who knows how many Spirit Stones it could sell for.
