C25 Red Roast

Wei Qitian let out a painful scream as he rolled on the ground in a sorry state. He wanted to use pressure to extinguish the flames, but it was in vain.

"Earth Tomb Technique!"

In extreme pain, he used his conscious to launch his ultimate move. Wisps of Qi seeped out from his body and interweaved to form a huge net. He wanted to capture all of these flames and split them into his own strength.

With a "Wa" sound, Wei Qitian could not hold back and vomited a large mouthful of blood. He had only absorbed a little bit of the energy formed by the flames, yet the meridians in his body were like tubes that had been roasted by flames.

His body was unable to withstand such a high temperature. Even if he were to furiously refine the energy from the nameless cultivation technique, it would only end up as a drop in the bucket.

Even qi of all things could not escape from the flames. They became the fuel for the flames, helping to boost its power.

Wei Qitian's body painfully curled up together. Facing this rogue's red flames, even he was helpless against it. Other than relying on his willpower to resist, there was no other way.

But he knew that when his strength was completely burnt off by the flames, everything would be over. There would only be a pile of ashes left in this place, and not even his bones would be left.

"Elder sister just revived and wants me to die, how can it be so easy? I won't compromise so easily!"

Wei Qitian clenched his teeth, his gaze landed on the three Spirit Marks on his body, his heart suddenly moved, maybe, this was the chance he had at the end of the line.

Even qi of all things could not withstand the burning of this flame, he could only endure it with his body. If his body was strong to a certain degree, would the fire be unable to do anything to him?

When he thought of this, Wei Qitian decisively bit his finger. Before the blood that dripped out had even been burnt, he quickly pressed his finger down onto the body that was wrinkled by the flames, and started to draw while trembling.

Under the threat of death, his great potential was unleashed. Even though his body was in pain, his speed did not decrease. It was unknown how many times faster he was compared to the last inscription.

Soon enough, the God Marrow of a spirit pattern was drawn. The so-called God Marrow meant that the structure didn't have any meaning. As long as one injected energy into it, the God Marrow would become a true spirit pattern.

Right at this moment, a powerful suction force erupted from the pattern. It was as if the spiritual energy of the world was being absorbed to activate the tattoo. However, the spiritual energy of the world was being burned away and without any way of absorbing it, the tattoo actually devoured the blood-red flame of its own accord.

This was no different from igniting one's body with fire. The flames were like well-trained soldiers, entering the spirit patterns one by one, and when the entire spirit patterns turned blood-red, Wei Qitian finally understood what it meant to burn within!

Each of the small lines was like a hot fire blade. Wherever they passed, the entire place was scarlet red, and even the tiny veins beneath the skin had been cut off, leaving no way to resist at all.

This red flame was truly too frightening. A mere spirit pattern simply could not lock it down, and if this continued, Wei Qitian's body would become a crematorium. Besides ashes, there would be nothing else left.

"I will not surrender so easily... "Ahh!" Wei Qitian let out a low roar as his finger trembled and then immediately followed up with another spirit tattoo. This time, his drawing speed became even faster.

When the tiny red lines followed the skin and entered the new spirit pattern, the two spirit patterns miraculously fused together and condensed into a spirit pattern. However, the energy within it underwent an earth-shattering change.

"There's actually such a thing?" Wei Qitian's eyes flashed with a bright light. Even though he was in unbearable pain, the joy in the bottom of his heart was enough to cancel out this pain.

"By destroying the spirit pattern barrier with a formidable power, you can fuse two spirit markings together. I never thought that the Morning Heart Body Refinement Art would have such a usage!"

The moment he thought of this, Wei Qitian's heart completely relaxed. His face was filled with excitement, the blood on his finger had not dried yet, and he danced about gracefully like a butterfly, carving spirit imprints one after another on his body.

At this moment, this kind of red flame was no longer a threat to his life and had instead become a resource for him to become stronger. Wei Qitian was like a greedy child, constantly using spirit imprints to devour these flames, as if he would never be satisfied.

After a few hours, the flames on his body were completely extinguished and the three spirit markings on his body ? the flame, the ice, and the stars ? disappeared as well. In their place were ten scarlet, blood-red spirit markings.

Wei Qitian closed his eyes and took a deep breath. Then, he punched into the air, and all of a sudden, a thunderous voice boomed, causing space to tremble and clear ripples to form. This was the pure power of Wei Qitian's body, but it was actually terrifying to such an extent.

"I never thought that I would obtain such a huge improvement here. This is really a blessing in disguise!"

Then, he took out a black robe and put it on his body, concealing his incomparably robust body.

"If we meet the corpse devil and the necromancy again ?" Wei Qitian laughed as he thought of this, and gently clenched his fists.

After being intoxicated for a moment, he took a deep breath to calm his agitated mind. He still had some work to do in the underground cave.

It was unknown if it was because he had absorbed the red flames, but even in the darkness, Wei Qitian could still see normal things and he was not used to it.

In fact, even he did not know that the center of his pupils had already begun to emit a blood-red glow. Although it was indiscernible, it was still a real existence.

With every step he took, a spark would appear beneath his feet. This bright spark was like a loyal servant, following the Sovereign King all the way forward.

"I seem to have returned to my original location ?" Wei Qitian muttered to himself.

After walking for who knows how long in the cave, Wei Qitian finally realized this fact.

Even though he always walked in a straight line in the same direction, he would always return to the starting point. It was very magical.

"I can't go on like this. The longer I stay down there, the higher the chance of an accident happening. I have to hurry up and find what I'm looking for."

Suddenly, he felt a burning pain on his skin, as though he was being baked in the sun. A faint burning sensation appeared, but it was quickly hidden.

"After taming the hellfire, my body can be said to be impervious to all flames. Why do I feel such heat? Could it be that something even more mysterious is lurking somewhere?"

After thinking about it, Wei Qitian closed his eyes and used his senses to walk towards the source of the scorching heat.

Logically speaking, the path he should have walked should have been a straight line. However, based on his body's feedback, he had taken many detours on the path forward. Only then did he slowly get closer to the heat source.

After walking for a while, he opened his eyes out of curiosity. He turned around to look at the place where he had landed and was surprised to find that he had indeed walked in a straight line.

He was suddenly enlightened. It turned out that this underground cave contained a strange power. If he were to walk forward with his sight, he would be unconsciously twisted by this power and would unconsciously return to his original position.

He could only abandon the visual interference and lock onto the target's direction from the very beginning. He could only reach his true destination by focusing on the feeling.

When he thought of this, Wei Qitian closed his eyes again and his footsteps became faster.

After about the time it took to make two cups of tea, a ray of light flashed and stung Wei Qitian's eyes through his eyelids. Wei Qitian stopped and opened his eyes, but other than the desolation in front of him, there was nothing else.

Having learned his lesson, he could no longer completely believe what he had seen with his own eyes. Thus, he activated the Xuanyuan blood sword and sent it slashing forward in a probing manner.

There was a dong sound, as if an invisible barrier stopped the Xuanyuan Blood Sword's fall, which made Wei Qitian happy.

"Looks like this is the place without a doubt!"

As he thought up to this point, a violent aura burst out from his body. His meridian opened wide, and surging energy surged out, condensing in his right hand.

"Hah!"

He used all his strength to pierce his left arm. The strength that was strong enough to shatter a mountain gushed out and heavily struck the barrier in front of him.

With a boom, the space in front of him started to fluctuate violently. After a series of ripples, cracks started to appear in the space, like glass that had been broken into pieces, and very quickly, it filled Wei Qitian's field of vision.

Facing these cracks, Wei Qitian had a face full of dread. No matter how strong his body was, as long as he was hit by a spatial tear, he would not be able to bear the consequences.

Accompanied by a clear and loud noise, the spatial barrier before his eyes collapsed with a loud bang, and completely collapsed in an instant. Wei Qitian saw a semicircle crack open like an arch, and was waiting for someone to enter.

Before he could even move a step, a powerful suction force exploded out of the door, as though an invisible hand had caught Wei Qitian off guard and trapped him inside.

After he fell into a trance for a while, Wei Qitian felt a blinding light that made his heart tremble.

"Why is there such a bright light inside the underground cave? Am I already outside?"

Resisting his curiosity, he slowly opened his eyes. Sure enough, he saw a red sun hanging in the sky.

"Are we really outside?" He mumbled to himself. Everywhere he looked, he saw a paradise on earth.

The grass beneath his feet was thick, and the blue sky was vast. The distant mountains were tall and straight, and the nearby spring water was flowing rapidly.

After taking in a light breath of air, he felt a refreshing feeling. It wouldn't be too much to say that this was a paradise.

"There's another world beneath this underground cave. There should be something that I'm looking for in such a spiritual land, right?"

Wei Qitian said with a look of anticipation, as he strode towards the depths of the space.
