Chapter 1333: Are You Reinforcements Sent by the Monkey?

The Golden Geocentric Flames!

This was a well-known type of flames in the Earth Emanations Domain. These flames were only present in the center of the world. Its temperatures were unbelievably high. Many fire-elemental Chaos Beasts were born out of flames like this.

The scariest part of these flames was that they were corrosive. A single touch of even a drop would cause even medial-grade divine artifacts to melt. If Gu Mu had not been gravely injured, he would probably come as close as he could to Jiang Yi in order to kill him.

However, all he could do now was watch as Jiang Yi rushed as fast as he could toward the Golden Geocentric Flames. If Gu Mu went even a few kilometers closer, he would be rendered motionless from the intense pain. How would he still be able to kill Jiang Yi?

“What should I do?”

Once he was sure that there was no way he would be able to kill Jiang Yi, Gu Mu’s will to survive suddenly became his priority. An idea surfaced in his mind; it was a great plan! He could make use of someone else to murder!

He knew formidable disguising techniques. If he could take on a disguise, the Ancient-Grade Chaos Beast would probably not be able to sense him. Instead, it would go after Jiang Yi. Then, Gu Mu can seize the opportunity to run away.

Chaos Beasts were born out of the Golden Geocentric Flames. Logically, they should not be afraid of these flames. In Chaos Beasts’ eyes, all humans were the same, too. Once this beast loses sight of Gu Mu’s own aura, it would naturally turn to Jiang Yi instead.

“Alright!”

Gu Mu shouted out excitedly as a glow appeared around his body. He quickly turned into a red rock. The aura around his body disappeared as well. At last, there was no sign of life where he stood. It was almost as if he had really become a rock.

“Wu-Wu—”

The Chaos Beast cried out. It quickly reached where Gu Mu had been standing, but on scanning its surroundings, it suddenly realized that Gu Mu was nowhere to be found. Unspeakable joy rose up in Gu Mu’s heart. Jiang Yi would surely die this time, wouldn’t he? He could even take this chance to escape; this mission was going to be a success.

As expected!

The Chaos Beasts looked around for a little longer and quickly discovered that Jiang Yi was standing there. It immediately charged towards Jiang Yi. It was not afraid of the Golden Geocentric Flames in the least. These flames had given birth to them. If they were of the same element, why should the Chaos Beast fear it?

“Golden Geocentric Flames!”

Jiang Yi was very close to the flames now. There were only ten balls of the flames revolving around one another now. Even the molten lava around them could not come near the flames. The flames were golden. Thus, the balls of flames looked like ten balls of glittering gold. Jiang Yi gasped at the splendid sight in front of him. Even the God King was afraid of these flames. How scary must these flames be?

“Wu-Wu—”

The sound of a beast roaring behind him yanked him back to reality. When he felt the beast’s aura coming closer to him at rapid speed, he stiffened. The God King did not even dare to come near these flames; why was this Chaos Beast unafraid of the flames? Could it be that it did not fear this type of flames?

“Fuse!”

At that moment, the cogs in Jiang Yi’s mind turned once again. He only thought of one solution: he had to absorb these ten balls of Golden Geocentric Flames into his ninth star sphere. He had to fuse it together with the Merged Flames in the sphere, so that his power could increase. If he managed to merge these three types of flames into a new flame and even that new flame could not hurt this Chaos Beast, then he would die for sure.

With one hand, he held out his Fire Spirit Pearl toward the Golden Geocentric Flames. The ten balls of flame were immediately absorbed by the pearl. Jiang Yi then used his Fire-Cultivating Dao to absorb the flames into his own body. At last, he channeled the flames into his ninth star sphere.

“They’re fused!”

Jiang Yi was beyond excited. The Golden Geocentric Flames fused with the remaining flames he had in his body and formed a whole new type of flame. This flame was made up of three different colors: blue, red, and gold. There was not much of it; Jiang Yi only had ten balls!

The Chaos Beast was getting even closer now. The two sickle-like front legs carried with them a cold, killing intent as the beast charged toward Jiang Yi. At that moment, Jiang Yi felt breathless. The suppressive force from the beast was pressing down on him so that he felt like he could not even move. The shadow of the Death God was already engulfing him. That was when he exploded, “Flames, come out!”

A ball of gold, blue, and red flames appeared in his hand. At that very moment, the far-away Gu Mu could not maintain his disguise any longer. He cried out in agony. The lava stirred once again, and the Chaos Beast retreated with his sickle-like legs in fear. It wanted to run away.

“Go!”

How could Jiang Yi give up a chance as good as this? He struck his Fire Dragon Sword down and caused ten wind dragons to emerge. The wind dragons dragged the flames forward and easily closed the thirty meters between the beast and him.

Howl-howl…

The Chaos Beasts began to writhe in pain. The flames hit its underbelly, which immediately began to corrode at a frightening speed. In just two or three seconds, half of its body disappeared. With what was left of its body, it rolled several rounds on the ground. Finally, it stopped moving. Jiang Yi’s new Merged Flames had actually burned this beast alive!

“That ferocious?”

Jiang Yi was secretly shocked and overjoyed. However, he regained his composure very quickly. His ring flashed as he kept the corpse of the Chaos Beast inside it. Then, he charged forward. Gu Mu was still crying out in pain. He must have been injured by the high temperatures of Jiang Yi’s new Merged Flames. Once again, how could he miss out on an opportunity like this?

“Don’t. Don’t kill me, Jiang Yi. Even if you kill me, you will not be able to run away.”

Gu Mu was critically injured now. His skin and his muscles had all been burned. He could not even move, and his blood and heavenly powers could no longer circulate. If Jiang Yi summoned one more ball of flames, he would turn into barbecued meat through and through.

What he could not figure out was how a small ant like Jiang Yi could become so powerful so suddenly.

Gu Mu held on to a final shred of hope of survival. He hesitated for a while and then said, “Jiang Yi, I can take you with me. I can bring you to another city. We can run away from the Battle God Pavilion Luo Clan and Earth Emanations Pavilion Luo Clan. As long as you don’t kill me, I can give you another superior-grade divine artifact as well. I have six hundred thousand divine roots with me now. I will give them all to you.”

“Are you reinforcements sent by the monkey[1]?”

Jiang Yi flew as fast as he could towards Gu Mu, his hand still glowing. He was ready to release the Merged Flames at any time. His lips curled in a mocking smile as he said, “Once I kill you, won’t all the things in your interspatial ring become mine? Is your brain spoiled?”

Gu Mu’s words made Jiang Yi’s mind start to work. Once he came within three kilometers of Gu Mu, he stopped and said in a low voice, “Since you don’t want to die, I’ll give you a chance. Become my slave. I only need your loyalty for five years! I will return your freedom to you after that. How’s that? Make your choice: Die or become my slave.”

“Uh—”

Gu Mu was trembling. This brat wanted him to become his slave? He was just a Heaven God, and he wanted to take a God King in as his own slave? That was the biggest joke in the world! Five years? Five years was a short time, but his life would be in Jiang Yi’s hands completely. Who knew if the five years would turn into five hundred?

“Alright!”

Gu Mu pondered over it, and his heart hardened. Jiang Yi was just a Heaven God. How strong could his soul spirit be? If he could take the chance and use his own powerful soul to overwhelm Jiang Yi’s, he had a chance of causing Jiang Yi to lose his spirit. If he managed to do that, not only would he manage to survive, but he would also be able to obtain Jiang Yi’s powerful and precious fire-elemental pearl.

He mumbled to himself and asked in a pained manner, “Five years? If you don’t return my soul spirit to me when the time is up, I will have no way of obtaining freedom. What’s more, I’m from Earth Emanations Pavilion. If someone finds out that I have become your soul slave, I will die either way.”

Jiang Yi smiled. “I, Jiang Yi, have an indomitable spirit. I will keep my word. What’s more, you have no choice but to trust me. As for Earth Emanations Pavilion, no one will find out if you and I don’t speak up about it. This is between you, me, Heaven, and Earth. Who will know about our relationship? Don’t worry. I will not let you die so easily. After all, with you by my side, my safety is ensured.”

Gu Mu was waiting for Jiang Yi to say this. He pretended to be in great pain as he said, “Jiang Yi, if you are willing to make a Heavenly Thearch Blood Oath that you would return my soul to me after five years, I will become your slave for five years.”

“Alright!”

Jiang Yi was beyond excited. Who would have thought that a God King like Gu Mu would have no backbone?

If he could get this God King to be his soul slave, he would become much more powerful. It would then be much easier for him to go to Blue Lion City to look for Jiang Xiaonu. This was what Jiang Yi thought, but he had no idea what greater dangers lay before him.
