Ao Hongchen stared with his eyes wide open. His eyes, which were losing their vitality, were filled with intense shock.
It was really the youth's words that shocked him.
Because before him, the previous Holy Son of the previous generation of Heavenly Flame Sect, an expert who had already stepped into the Celestial Phenomenon Stage, had also fallen in the hands of someone with the surname Ye.
Ye Jinghan.
This name was taboo in the Heavenly Flame Sect. Even the elders of the sect were unwilling to mention it.
It was precisely because of Ye Jinghan, that the Heavenly Flame Sect Saint Child of that year had withered, and even a large number of peak experts had fallen.
In the end, although he had forced Ye Jinghan into the Kunlun Forbidden Zone, there were still a large number of experts in the Heavenly Flame Sect who had accompanied him in death, so his losses were incomparably heavy.
If not for that, even without Zhi Zun holding down the Heavenly Flame Sect, the strong would be like the forest, and they would be countless times more powerful.
"Damn it, damn it!" Your Ye Family has not disappeared, you're the executioner. " Ao Hongchen roared like a madman and the unwillingness in his eyes became even stronger.
If he had lost to someone else, perhaps he would have been able to accept it. However, losing to someone from the Ye Family, following in the footsteps of a Holy Son, this was simply too shameful. It was even worse than dying.
After roaring crazily for a while, the light in Ao Hongchen's eyes dimmed. He was like a Vicious Beast that was on the verge of death, staring at Ye Hao unwaveringly, and suddenly thought of something. A strange smile appeared on his face, and he laughed sinisterly: "You will not live for long, either."
Ao Hongchen glanced at Qing Wu in ridicule, then turned to Ye Hao and said crazily, "You will all die, even your Tianxuan Academy will die if the Karakorum Savant opens the forbidden area. You don't even know how to look down on the mortal world and laugh at the world …"
Ye Hao squinted his eyes. Ao Hongchen's words made him feel uneasy, and he couldn't help but recall that not long ago, the Heavenly Sword Sect's Holy Son, Xu Yijian, had also mentioned this phrase.
Was there another reason for him to look down on the mortal world with a smile?
However, before Ye Hao could ask anything, Ao Hongchen's eyes dimmed and his life was completely cut off.
The peerless Heaven's Pride, the Son-of-Saint of Heaven Flame Ao Hongchen, had fallen just like that.
Ye Hao looked at Qing Wu with a dark expression and asked, "Sister Qingwu, do you know what he meant?"
Qing Wu was wearing a green dress like a turbid lotus. After Ao Hongchen died, her pale face finally regained some color. However, she shook her head in confusion at Ye Hao's question.
Although she had been in the Heavenly Flame Sect for a long time, in the end, she was still a furnace and was extremely closely guarded. Every day, she could only rely on the endless amount of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures cultivation that was delivered to her by her Heavenly Flame Sect, without being able to come in contact with any secrets.
"Let's leave as soon as possible. Someone is coming." Shen Jiuyou looked into the distance. Apparently, a lot of people had noticed the commotion from the battle just now.
Ye Hao nodded and kept Ao Hongchen's Storage Bag. He then took out a small heavenly Spiritual Weapon that he specially requested from Gu Shentan and stored Qing Wu inside it. Finally, he used the Fire Lotus and burned all the corpses on the scene.
Looking at the traces of Sixth-Crown King's corpse, Liu Tie faintly sighed. His figure instantly flew far away, and after a moment of hesitation, Lei Tingzi and the others also followed in his direction.
Not long after they left, Long Wind Sect Lee Tian'gang was the first to appear. Wearing a green robe, he looked extremely handsome, and his expression was grave as he looked at the mess on the ground.
"Brother Li, did you notice anything when you arrived earlier?"
Zhou Hantian appeared with a slightly serious face.
Following which, Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape and Heavenly Sword Sect Xu Yijian arrived one after another.
"Even though it's far away, judging from the undulations from the battle, it seems to be someone from the Heavenly Flame Sect." Xu Yijian, who was carrying the cyan sword, spoke in a deep voice. Just now, the sea of flames and the terrifying Spiritual Energy storm made him feel fear even with his current strength.
"Such power, could it be Ao Hongchen?" Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape's rough face also darkened slightly. The battle scars here were too shocking, and far exceeded their understanding of Ao Hongchen.
Indeed, although Ao Hongchen was also a Top Son-of-Saint like the others, his hidden strength was definitely above theirs. It could be said that he was the strongest heaven's pride level expert that had entered the Burning Fire Cemetery this time.
Of course, although the few of them did not know Ao Hongchen's true strength, they were still shocked in their hearts. Lee Tian'gang and the rest could not understand, other than a few people at the scene, who could fight against Ao Hongchen. The battle was so intense and this might was basically outside of the scope of Tao Soul Stage.
"Did Ao Hongchen discover the Paramount Fire?" Zhou Hantian's eyes flashed.
Hearing this, the expressions of Xu Yijian and the others changed. Paramount Fire was the greatest fortuitous encounter for Burning Fire Cemetery.
Without the slightest hesitation, the few of them disappeared from the spot and started searching in all directions. The Paramount Fire was everyone's biggest target, and as long as there was a sliver of hope, they would not give up.
After Lee Tian'gang and the others left, a breeze swept by and blew away some black ashes on the ground. The few of them could not imagine that Ao Hongchen, who they were wholeheartedly searching for, became a pile of dust.
"..."
While the four were digging, in an extremely concealed cave, Ye Hao who was covered in blood and had a sluggish aura sat.
At that moment, Shen Jiuyou had already returned to the Gray Bead Space.
Beside him, only Qing Wu's beautiful eyes were bloodshot as she looked at the youth with incomparable worry. Her beautiful face was filled with self-blame and heartache.
If she wasn't threatened by Xu Lan to come to Heavenly Flame Sect, Ye Hao wouldn't have had to face a terrifying opponent like Ao Hongchen. Although Ye Hao won in the end, Qing Wu couldn't help but tear up as she looked at the scarred youth.
"Young master, it's all my fault …" Qing Wu's eyes were bloodshot. She lowered her head and sobbed softly.
"Sister Qingwu, I'm fine." Ye Hao smiled bitterly.
After all, Qing Wu was threatened by Xu Lan because of him, so how could Ye Hao bear to blame her?
"Hehe, this guy killed Ao Hongchen for you. Why are you still calling him young master? If it was me, I would have already called him big brother." A mocking laughter suddenly rang out. Wu Feiyan stood charmingly at the entrance of the cave. Behind her was Lei Tingzi and the other prodigies of the Proclamation of Azure Sky. They were all looking at Liu Tie with complicated gazes.
Ye Hao was not the least bit surprised by their appearance. On the contrary, Qing Wu's face turned red as she listened to Wu Feiyan's teasing.
"Come in."
Ye Hao spoke with a calm expression. He waited for them to enter the cave and sit down before asking, "You all saw it?"
Originally, Ye Hao did not want to reveal his identity, but Sixth-Crown King's death was too unexpected. And once he fought with Ao Hongchen, the sacred art he used would not be able to hide it from the people on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, so he decided not to hide it anymore.
"Ye Hao, you're too awesome!"
Di Qing's face flushed red and he shouted with excitement. The others also had peculiar expressions on their faces. Even the usually cold and proud Bai Qingyou had an indescribable expression in her eyes.
They repeatedly overestimated Ye Hao's strength and thought that he had the strength to compete with Sixth-Crown King. However, who would have thought that they still underestimated this young man?
Even Sixth-Crown King could not last for more than half an incense stick of time under Ao Hongchen's hand. The fact that Ye Hao was able to kill a terrifying figure like Ao Hongchen was something that they found hard to believe.
Moreover, Ye Hao's body was covered in too much fog, especially White-robed Man who appeared last, and even claimed to be Ye Hao and Master, to actually be able to kill Celestial Phenomenon Stage with a raise of his hand, what kind of terrifying existence was that?
Everyone sighed in their hearts. From today onwards, the first ranker of the Proclamation of Azure Sky would definitely belong to Ye Hao. He deserved his title.
"Since you have all seen it, you should know how serious the situation is." Ye Hao narrowed his eyes. Ao Hongchen was, after all, the Scion of the Heavenly Flame Sect. If the news of his death were to spread, forget about Heavenly Flame Sect, even Eastern Desolation would be affected by a ripple.
Hearing this, the people on the Proclamation of Azure Sky all fell into silence, their faces turning serious. They didn't care about Ao Hongchen's death at all, they even felt pleased with it.
After all, Sixth-Crown King was ranked first on the Proclamation of Azure Sky and was killed by Ao Hongchen just like that. Moreover, these Heaven Chosen didn't take them seriously at all and treated them as slaves.
However, Ao Hongchen was, after all, the Son-of-Saint of Heaven Flame, a heaven's pride level expert whom Heavenly Flame Sect had nurtured with all his might. If Heavenly Flame Sect were to find out the reason for his death, the entire Great Yan Empire would definitely not be able to endure the fury of the Heavenly Flame Sect, and would be in danger of destruction.
"We know how serious this is, so we will definitely keep our mouths shut." Lei Tingzi said in a deep voice.
Strictly speaking, Ye Hao was one of them, and judging from the arrogant attitude of the Heavenly Flame Sect people, even if they did not make a move this time, if the Heavenly Flame Sect s discovered everything, they would not be able to escape.
Ye Hao nodded and did not say anymore. Their group was now like ants on a string, he believed that a few people knew what was at stake. Following that, he began to recover from his injuries while the other people of the Proclamation of Azure Sky waited in the cave to protect him.
Although Ye Hao and Qing Wu said that he was fine, his injuries were extremely serious. His entire chest collapsed, his ribs were all broken, and his internal organs were injured to varying degrees. It was extremely shocking.
This kind of terrifying injury could be said to be something that had never happened to him since the Cultivation of Extreme Stage. It was Ao Hongchen who was too terrifying.
This battle could be said to be the hardest he had ever faced in his entire life. Even though Ye Hao had used all his trump cards, he almost lost to Ao Hongchen.
"This Ao Hongchen is probably a lot stronger than those Top Son-of-Saint."
Ye Hao sighed in his heart and immediately began to refine the healing elixirs that he had just consumed.
"..."
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
Inside the cave, Ye Hao was sitting like an old monk. The blood inside his body was roaring like a raging river; it was very shocking.
After a period of recuperation, his internal injuries had recovered to nearly eighty percent.
Polar Arts was indeed worthy of being called the Invincible Body Cultivating Arts. If it was anyone else, they would need at least half a year to recuperate from Ye Hao's terrifying injuries. Only someone with an Extreme Realm body would be able to recover so quickly.
According to the Polar Arts, if one could cultivate to the Great Circle of the Dragon Reaching Realm, they could even do it for ten thousand years without being destroyed, or even be reborn with blood, which was far more terrifying than they could imagine.
At the side, Qing Wu saw Ye Hao's injuries stabilizing gradually. Her worried heart was finally relieved. As she accompanied the young man like this, her eyes were filled with an unprecedented gentleness.
As for the few people on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, they were standing not too far away from the cave and were encircling and killing demon spirits from all over the place. After the eight of them killed them all together, an Earth Grade Origin Flame suddenly appeared, causing them to be overjoyed.
"Great, with this Earth Grade Origin Flame, we have gathered the Natural Fire that broke through the Burning Fire Stage." Lei Tingzi revealed a happy expression, "Junior Bai, you're the only one who doesn't have Origin Flames. Quickly put it away."
"Eh, you Slave Cultivator, are actually still alive?"
Just as Bai Qingyou stepped forward to collect the Origin Flames, a muffled sound of thunder could be heard. In the next instant, an extremely tall figure appeared.
It was the Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape.
He appeared without any warning, and like a bolt of lightning, he quickly withdrew the Earth Origin Flame. Immediately after, a large palm grabbed onto Bai Qingyou's slender neck, raising an eyebrow, "Although it's just a Slave Cultivator, it looks pretty good. A human Slave Cultivator with a cold and proud temperament like yours, my Thunder Ape Clan loves to enjoy it the most.
Bai Qingyou's face turned pale white, fury surfaced in her eyes, but with her strength, she was simply unable to contend against such a Top Son-of-Saint, and was immediately restrained.
"Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape!"
Seeing who had arrived, the expressions of those few people on the Proclamation of Azure Sky all changed. Their eyes could not help but show a strong sense of dread.
"You bunch of Slave Cultivator are quite interesting, to actually be able to survive from my palm attack." Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape was furious, his hair was dense, like steel needles, and his hair was cold.
The Thunder Ape Clan was not a true demon clan. It was rumored that they came from the Outer World just like Silver Wing Clan. In terms of Eastern Desolation, they could be considered an extremely strong force, not much weaker than Heavenly Flame Sect.
"Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape, we have never offended anyone, please let Junior Sister Bai go, we will leave immediately." Lei Tingzi said in a deep voice.
"A mere Slave Cultivator dares to spout such nonsense? How are you going to teach me?" The Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape snorted and waved his hand. A Spiritual Energy Arts wrapped with the power of wind and lightning instantly sent Lei Tingzi flying.
Although Lei Tingzi also trained in the power of wind and lightning and his spirit was the Wind and Thunder Scripture, which was one of the Four Arts of the Sky Profound, it was nothing compared to Son-of-Saint Level Expert, the Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape.
"Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape, don't go too far." The faces of Qi Yu and Yin Kong, who were left behind, were livid with anger.
Although they knew that the children of the sects were not interested in the cultivators of their subordinate forces, Lei Tingzi had only said a single sentence without any offense. To be injured in such a short period of time, it was truly too domineering.
"A group of lowly Slave Cultivator dares to make a ruckus? For ants like you, even if you are enraged, other than the weak grass, what else can you burn? "
Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape's gaze turned to Bai Qingyou and he sneered: "As for you, to be able to become a slave of my Thunder Ape Clan and please my clan is a fortuitous opportunity obtained from the ninth generation. How dare you show your displeasure?"
The expressions of the people on the Proclamation of Azure Sky turned ashen, and shame surfaced in Bai Qingyou's eyes. However, against such a strong being like the Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape, even if they wanted to resist, it would be impossible for them to do so.1
At this moment, the few people on the Proclamation of Azure Sky, especially Bai Qingyou, couldn't help but think of the tall and straight young man. Maybe he was the only one who could go against someone as tyrannical as the Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape.
"Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape, the subsidiary powers are not to be trifled with. Among us, there is someone who can defeat you!" Di Qing clenched his teeth as he spoke. In his heart, he was hesitating whether he should go back and find Ye Hao. However, when he thought about how Ye Hao was recuperating, he was unable to make a decision.
"Hahaha, you are just a bunch of ants who don't know your own limits. Just you ants and slaves, even my clan's heaven's pride level experts can easily crush you to death. How dare you speak such arrogant words to defeat me?"
Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world as he taunted: "Initially, I didn't even want to kill you as long as this slave girl speaks so arrogantly. Let the person you're talking to step forward and see if he can take one of this Saint's blows."
After saying that, the Son-of-Saint, Thunder Ape's bell-like eyes coldly swept over the few people present. "Is it you, or are you …."
"It's me."
Immediately after, Ye Hao, who was tall and slender with a slightly pale face, slowly walked up and said: "It's your big orangutan again. Last time, I was too lazy to bother with you, but this time, you still dared to deliver yourself to my doorstep, so don't blame me."
