"Ahhhh!"
A series of extremely painful and shrill screams continuously echoed through this mysterious Flame Land.
Shi Feng gazed coldly at Huo Yu, who was suspended mid-air, showing no intention of halting the torture.
Shi Feng wanted to show him who his master would be from now on. Without making him suffer a bit, he feared Huo Yu wouldn't learn his lesson!
No matter what his previous status or position was, Shi Feng didn't care; he just wanted Huo Yu to understand who he should be loyal to from this moment on.
"Ah! Just kill me! I'm begging you to kill me!" Suffering from the agony of soul torment, Huo Yu now pleaded with Shi Feng for death, illustrating the immense pain he endured.
"Hmph!" upon hearing Huo Yu's words, Shi Feng coldly snorted at him and said, "If I want you dead in the future, I will naturally see to it. But if you want to die without my permission, hmph!"
As Shi Feng snorted again, a more piercing and agonizing cry erupted from Huo Yu's mouth.
The Black Robed Man standing beside Shi Feng was filled with dread upon hearing this cry from Huo Yu.
This Huo Yu... what kind of unbearable torment is he undergoing at this moment!
Truly, this person is absolutely ruthless!
To Huo Yu, the painful torment was unbearably tough with every passing second.
However, to Shi Feng, who was inflicting the torture, time seemed to fly by.
Now, Shi Feng had already tormented Huo Yu with soul-tearing pain for a whole hour.
At this moment, Shi Feng had a thought, and Huo Yu's body suddenly fell from mid-air, landing heavily on the yellow snake head with a "thud," laying before Shi Feng's feet.
At this point, Huo Yu no longer had the arrogant demeanor of the proud Saint Son of the Flame Sacred Land; lying at Shi Feng's feet, he was no different from a dead dog.
Looking down at him, Shi Feng said in a domineering tone, "From now on, obey me wholeheartedly, or else you already know the consequences.
Recover well first; once your injuries and strength have recovered, I will ask you some things."
Shi Feng naturally wanted to ask Huo Yu about matters concerning this Flame Land.
Since entering the second layer of the Flame Extreme Cave, Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man discovered that apart from the burning sea of fire on the ground and sky, as well as Huo Yu who cultivated the Power of Fire, there were no other living beings or dangers encountered.
It was indeed quite strange, so Shi Feng intended to ask Huo Yu about it later, as he had presumably spent some time in this Flame Land and might know something.
After speaking to Huo Yu, Shi Feng ignored the Flame Sacred Land's Saint Son, who was akin to a dead dog, and turned to the Black Robed Man, saying, "I am preparing to enter my Mysterious Artifact Space to comprehend Martial Arts. Will you join me?"
Huo Yu's recovery would take some time, so Shi Feng planned to use this period to comprehend by drawing upon the Flame Tree's insights.
"I will accompany you there!" the Black Robed Man responded.
"Alright!" Shi Feng nodded.
Immediately, a gigantic blood-colored light suddenly flashed, and as the blood light fell, the enormous Four-headed Giant Snake and several people on top of it had completely vanished, leaving only a small blood-colored stone stele quietly suspended in the void of this Flame Land.
...
Amidst the boundless void, a piece of land floated quietly, where a Flame Tree, akin to fiery flames, burned, emanating scorching flame energy and aura.
At that moment, a massive blood-colored light flashed not far from the Flame Tree.
The Four-headed Giant Snake, along with Shi Feng, the Black Robed Man, and Huo Yu, who lay like a dead dog on the yellow snake head, appeared.
The figures of Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man simultaneously flickered towards the Flame Tree, utilizing the tree's mystical Scorching Power for cultivation...
...
On the Tianheng Continent, in the Eastern Domain, within the Tianlan Empire.
At sunset, a white-clad figure stood proudly atop the highest building in Tianlan Imperial City, the peak of the Imperial Palace.
This person was dressed in white, with a piece of white cloth casually tying her waterfall-like black hair. Disguised as a man, she possessed a stunning beauty unparalleled in the world, known as the top beauty of the Eastern Domain, Princess Linglong of the Tianlan Empire—Jin Mo.
Heaven and earth were flushed with crimson by the sunset, even her delicate face was blushing, exhibiting a unique allure.
Jin Mo gazed distantly, her beautiful face momentarily lost in thought.
Since the day he left this place, she would come to this highest point in Tianlan Imperial City every evening, gazing towards the north.
He told her he was going to the North Domain, to a distant northern direction.
"Are you alright?" her red lips parted slightly as she murmured softly.
It seemed like she was talking to herself, but she was actually speaking to him in the distance.
"What are you doing now?"
"The weather's getting colder, remember to wear more clothes!"
"Little Shi, you must be safe, I will wait here for your return! Waiting for you to marry me!"
"Roar!" A tiger's roar suddenly echoed not far behind her, and the source of this roar was none other than Little Bai, the white tiger left here by Shi Feng.
Beside Little Bai stood a tall and majestic figure, the Monarch of the Tianlan Empire, Lann Yuan!
Gazing at the white silhouette ahead, Lann Yuan sighed deeply.
It has been a year since he left the Tianlan Empire; almost a year has passed, and she never ceased longing for him.
Lann Yuan initially thought time would dilute everything, and her feelings for him would gradually fade.
Yet unexpectedly, it only grew stronger with each passing day.
"This silly girl! Alas! It seems you are determined to marry no one but him! Shi Feng, if you don't return soon, I truly fear that this girl will fall ill from longing for you!
If she keeps standing here every day, I worry she'll become a waiting stone!"
"Little Shi, can you hear the words I say to you?"
...
"Little Shi..."
Within the space of the blood-colored stone stele, Shi Feng, who was sitting cross-legged under the Flame Tree comprehending Martial Arts, suddenly heard a sweet call.
Upon hearing this sweet and tender call, Shi Feng instantly sensed his consciousness becoming exceptionally clear.
In his martial comprehension, what was once blurred suddenly became extraordinarily lucid.
"Hmm?" Not far from Shi Feng, also sitting cross-legged, the Black Robed Man saw the aura suddenly emanating from Shi Feng and exclaimed, "This aura! He... he's about to break through!"
The Black Robed Man wouldn't forget, the last time Shi Feng had a Martial Arts breakthrough was shortly after entering the Demon God Fallen Land, when the legendary Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder descended upon the world.
But how long has it been since then? He... he's breaking through again!
This... this is just too monstrous!
The legendary Undying Demon Body, defying the heavens at this pace!
