The moment the crimson fire dragon vanished.
The entire void returned to its previous tranquility.
But the scattered remnants of walls and cliffs bore witness to the preceding ferocity.
Zhang Ergou exhaled a long breath, his heart, which had been clenched during the battle between the spiritual fire and the volcanic mountain range, finally relaxed.
Now that the spiritual fire had achieved a great victory, Zhang Ergou was naturally overjoyed.
What surprised Zhang Ergou even more was the information transmitted back by the spiritual fire.
The spiritual fire had not merely devoured the Crimson Flame Mountain Range.
It had also retained some of the attributes possessed by the Crimson Flame Mountain Range.
This was the primary reason why those cultivators who had been coveting it dared not approach.
Although the crimson fire dragon, formed from the Crimson Flame Mountain Range, was defeated.
And ultimately devoured by the golden fire dragon formed by the spiritual fire, its unique scorching high temperature had not dissipated.
Instead, it had been superimposed onto the spiritual fire.
The golden fire dragon, formed by the spiritual fire, did not immediately return to Zhang Ergou's body.
It continued to soar in the sky, as if digesting the immense energy of the Crimson Flame Mountain Range.
Seeing that the battle between the two fire dragons had concluded.
Cultivators were already stirring.
Not all cultivators heeded the elder surnamed Qiu.
There were always a few conceited individuals who believed themselves invincible and looked down upon all things in the world.
And so, before the spiritual fire had even finished digesting the entire Crimson Flame Mountain Range.
Those cultivators were already impatient.
They believed that the golden fire dragon formed by the spiritual fire was at its weakest at this moment.
And thus, the easiest to capture.
Naturally, some could not suppress their greedy desires.
Instantly, over a dozen figures soared from the horizon, heading straight for the golden fire dragon still circling in the void.
"Brother Ergou, they?"
Almost at the same time, Liu Yaxuan, who had been staying in Zhang Ergou's embrace, also noticed these people attempting to do something nefarious.
Although she didn't know where this golden fire dragon came from.
She knew it was definitely related to Zhang Ergou, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to stay here safely.
But now, with people seemingly trying to steal the golden fire dragon, she naturally became anxious.
"Heh heh, it's fine, just watch the show."
Zhang Ergou appeared completely unconcerned.
As if the things people were vying for did not belong to him at all.
Hearing Zhang Ergou say this, Liu Yaxuan suppressed her worries, but her gaze remained fixed on the golden fire dragon in the void.
"Hahaha, it's true that the Crimson Flame Mountain Range was destroyed by that golden fire dragon. I don't feel any discomfort even after coming this far."
One of the fastest-flying individuals laughed heartily. As he was about to enter within ten miles of the Crimson Flame Mountain Range.
Everything seemed peaceful.
This made the cultivators who had been reprimanded by the elder surnamed Qiu envious.
Even their greed resurfaced.
"Ignorance."
The elder surnamed Qiu remained in his original position, watching the dozen figures flying towards the golden fire dragon and muttering a curse under his breath.
As soon as his voice fell.
The leading cultivator, who had been laughing smugly moments ago, suddenly vanished from heaven and earth.
It was as if he had never existed in this world.
Not even a trace of his aura remained.
He died, and his primordial spirit was annihilated into nothingness.
Everyone was horrified, realizing at this moment that the Crimson Flame Mountain Range had not truly disappeared.
It merely existed in the world in a different form.
The dozen figures that followed closely behind were not spared from being annihilated.
A dozen cultivators, each at least at the Nascent Soul stage or above.
They simply dissipated into the void.
As if they had never appeared before.
Silence!
An unusual silence!
The vast area around the Crimson Flame Mountain Range fell into complete dead silence.
It was then that people remembered the elder surnamed Qiu's words.
They didn't even have the qualification to face the Crimson Flame Mountain Range, yet they harbored desires for the more advanced flames after absorbing it.
Truly dying without knowing how they died.
The dozen lives that were lost were all living examples.
"Brother Ergou, where did they go?"
Even if Liu Yaxuan was foolish, she knew that those cultivators, who appeared to have much higher cultivation than herself, had completely disappeared.
However, she couldn't be sure of her own thoughts.
"They probably went home to see their parents."
In a cheerful mood, Zhang Ergou reached out and pinched Liu Yaxuan's cheek.
Making the young girl blush.
The spiritual fire's digestion continued, not stopping due to the sudden intrusion of those individuals.
It took an instant to devour all the flames in the entire Crimson Flame Mountain Range.
Even for the spiritual fire, it would take some time to digest.
Zhang Ergou was not in a hurry. He was currently being pursued.
Here, it was not only a natural sanctuary.
But he also witnessed the spiritual fire's growth, a true blessing in disguise.
However, the cultivators observing from outside did not possess his patience.
After witnessing the annihilation of over a dozen cultivators, some of the previously hopeful cultivators quietly retreated.
Silently withdrawing from the crowd.
Leaving this place of trouble far behind.
With one person leaving, more and more people felt that there was nothing more to see. Sudancn.com
And they also departed.
One of the main reasons was that they gained no benefit from staying here.
On the other hand, with the elder surnamed Qiu present, everyone felt a sense of oppression.
Seeing that most people had left.
Only the elders of the Liuhai Sect and the elder surnamed Qiu remained.
"Little Liu Xun, why are you not leaving yet? Are you planning to make a move on that golden fire dragon?"
The elder surnamed Qiu squinted at Liu Xun.
Liu Xun broke out in a cold sweat: "Senior is joking. How would I dare to have such thoughts?"
He quickly denied it. If he were to be labeled with such an accusation,
Regardless of how it sounded.
If he ultimately failed to obtain it, he would become a laughingstock.
"There is nothing good. Let us depart then."
Seeing that the elder surnamed Qiu was about to leave, Liu Xun was somewhat bewildered. Didn't he show strong interest in Zhang Ergou earlier?
"Senior, that kid?"
Liu Xun pointed at Zhang Ergou, who was still standing at the most dazzling spot of the Crimson Flame Mountain Range.
"That kid is quite interesting, but he is still too weak for now. It is not yet time for us to meet. However, I will keep an eye on him."
The elder surnamed Qiu saw through Liu Xun's little scheme as clearly as if it were written on his face.
Seeing his intentions revealed, Liu Xun did not show any embarrassment. Instead, he appeared as if he was receiving instruction.
Behind the elder surnamed Qiu's back, he gave subtle gestures to Li Kongcai and Yuan Yue.
Along with the elder surnamed Qiu, Liu Xun, the sect leader of the Liuhai Sect, and some of his followers also departed.
Thus, the large number of cultivators who had gathered here due to the battle between the two fire dragons had mostly dispersed.
Everything seemed to return to normal.
However, after Li Kongcai and Yuan Yue followed the main group away.
Not long after, they returned and remained in their original spot...
