Martial Peak

“In the past, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor once went looking for the Immortal Tree to gain immortality. He even tore apart the Star Boundary’s Starlight Corridor and invaded countless lower Star Fields. Every time he went to a Star Field, countless Cultivation Stars would be devoured by him, plunging people into misery and suffering. It was for this reason that he finally incurred the wrath of the entire world,” Qi Hai unhurriedly continued, “But unfortunately, even the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor was unable to find the Immortal Tree.”

Yang Kai was filled with fear after hearing this.

He could say for sure that the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor had never been to Heng Luo Star Field. Had he been there, he might have really found the Immortal Tree; however, his arrival would have definitely brought doom to the Heng Luo Star Field.

Qi Hai continued, “Unable to find the Immortal Tree, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor could only look for other methods. The popular rumour is that the reason why the other Great Emperors besieged the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor in the Shattered Star Sea was because his behaviour was no longer acceptable, but in fact, that was only a part of the reason.”

Yang Kai’s expression changed as he asked, “What’s the other reason?”

“There was another bigger reason. He wanted to attack another Great Emperor and snatch something from him!”

Hearing this, Yang Kai’s mind quickly started working. All of a sudden, he was struck with some realization as cried out in alarm, “Could it be…”

Qi Hai confirmed it with a nod, “Yes, it’s exactly as Brother Yang has guessed. It is absolutely impossible for Great Emperors to fight if there isn’t an absolute irreconcilable enmity between them. However, the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor’s conduct undoubtedly touched the inverse-scale and bottom line of all the other Great Emperors. If they ignored this, the next unlucky person might be themselves, so they formed an alliance and declared war against Heaven Devouring Great Emperor. Their battle shattered the sky and split worlds, causing the universe to shatter, resulting in the creation of this Shattered Star Sea!”

“What the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor wanted to steal was the Martial Flame Great Emperor’s Phoenix True Fire!” Qi Hai’s face grew serious, “The Phoenix True Fire is the inheritance of a True Fire Phoenix. The Fire Phoenix might die, but its Phoenix Fire will never go out. It even has the Heaven-defying Divine Ability of nirvana, so the Phoenix True Fire is also known as the Nirvana True Fire. It’s ranked at the top among all the exotic fires created by the Heavens. The Heaven Devouring Great Emperor wanted to obtain the Phoenix True Fire and understand the mysteries of eternal life from it. If the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor really succeeded in getting his hands on it, then he might have really gotten what he wanted.”

“During that battle, the Martial Flame Great Emperor was the first to fall under the hands of Heaven Devouring Great Emperor; after all, he was the main focus of the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor. The Phoenix True Fire was also pulled out by him, but in order to prevent the Heaven Devouring Great Emperor from getting his hands on the Phoenix True Fire, the Yuan Ding Great Emperor could only use his own Mountains and Rivers Bell to suppress it. He was also helpless. And without the Mountains and Rivers Bell, the Yuan Ding Great Emperor’s strength plummeted, so he too followed the footsteps of the Martial Flame Great Emperor. However, the Phoenix True Fire suppressed by the Mountains and Rivers Bell was sent away by another Great Emperor during the tangled fight. It had been missing since then!”

“Over the years, countless cultivators have entered the Shattered Star Sea to find the treasures left by the fallen Great Emperors, but few knew that the Phoenix True Fire was being suppressed under the Mountains and Rivers Bell.”

Listening to Qi Hai, Yang Kai immediately understood why he secretly remained and he couldn’t help but smile as he praised, “Brother Qi Hai, you really know a great deal.”

Qi Hai stated, “This Qi has been paying attention to the whereabouts of the Phoenix True Fire, and has also read countless ancient books due to some special circumstances.”

“Special circumstances?” Yang Kai raised his brow.

Qi Hai timely cupped his fists and explained, “I’ll be honest with Brother Yang. This Qi’s wife was severely injured twenty years ago, and had been in a coma since then. Although this Qi has tried everything to save her, I could only keep her barely alive. It’s not a long-term solution. In order to save her, apart from the Immortal Source Liquid on the Immortal Tree, only the Phoenix True Fire will do.”

Yang Kai’s face turned livid as he coldly snorted and asked, “Brother Qi, did you come to me to ask for the Phoenix True Fire? If so, then this Yang has been wrong about you. It was a pleasant talk, but I didn’t expect that Brother Qi had this plan in his mind. Goodbye!”

Yang Kai hadn’t subdued or refined the Phoenix True Fire at all, so even if he did want to help, he was unable to do so, this was a simple fact. In order to save Qi Hai’s wife, Yang Kai must first refine the Phoenix True Fire; otherwise, once he took out the Phoenix True Fire, not to mention saving his wife, everyone might be burned to ashes in an
