"Let's just keep moving forward.
The four senior leaders are too powerful. We are no match for them,"
the fire source beast cautioned
as he led Austin to the depths of the Fiery Eye.
As they went deeper, they encountered more sacred fires. The law of fire became more advanced.
Fortunately, over the years, the fire source beast had been cultivating in seclusion and had made great
progress in terms of strength. He could deal with any dangers here and keep Austin safe.
Austin himself was using the idle time to boost his powers.
The depths of the Fiery Eye posed great dangers, but it was the perfect place to cultivate the fire-
controlling skill!
As they approached their destination, Austin soon found that his fire-controlling skill had already made
great progress.
The amount of sacred fires that he could control seemed to have doubled in just that short time!
Meanwhile, the four former leaders and the eight current leaders of the Time Chamber Sect had joined
forces to try to locate Austin and the fire source beast.
Suddenly, one of the senior leaders exclaimed, "I found them!"
All the rest turned to him eagerly.
The senior leader waved his hand. Projections of two figures appeared in the air in front of him.
The assembly broke out in gasps and murmurs.
"That's them!
That's the fire source beast!
And there's Austin!"
Solomon said triumphantly when he saw the two figures.
"It's better than we hoped.
The fire source beast and Austin are both here. We can kill them in one go!"
Bartholomew said, sneering and slitting his eyes at the projections.
"We're getting closer and closer to them!
Let's speed up!"
another senior leader barked out, picking up speed.
The rest of the group followed suit, close at his heels.
Austin and the fire source beast, meanwhile, kept to their steady pace.
Deeper and deeper they went until
all of a sudden
the fire source beast stopped in his tracks, surprised.
"What is this?
We seem to have reached our destination.
We're already about to enter the core of the Fiery Eye!"
he exclaimed.
"Really? That was fast!"
an impressed Austin said.
The two proceeded in.
They continued to speed forward until they came to the end of a passageway.
It opened to a wide space so vast it appeared boundless.
It was as expansive as dozens of space seas combined.
This vast expanse was filled to the brim with blazing sacred fires.
The whole space burned!
There were sacred fires as far as the eye could see!
The law of fire in this space was clearly advanced beyond reckoning.
Austin was left in awe.
"I thought my fire-controlling skill was already good, but even I feel threatened in the face of this fire
sea.
I wonder how those who have never practiced the fire-controlling skill would feel when they come
here!"
Austin murmured, trying to take in everything before him.
The fire source beast, however, did not seem intimidated at all. He gazed happily at the sight before
him, trembling in excitement.
"Sure enough, this is the space where my ancestors lived!
I can feel the aura of my kind!" he said.
Austin whistled in admiration.
"Wow!
Your ancestors must have been quite powerful to be able to live in such a formidable environment," he
said.
The fire source beast nodded.
"My clansmen are born out of fire.
It does not frighten us, but rather, sustains us."
Austin nodded in understanding.
"That makes sense," he said.
"Well, let's go, then.
About time we get going.
But be warned.
From what I remember, in addition to the eight types of sacred fire, there are also all sorts of other
powerful fires here.
The most advanced and terrible flames that ever exist could be found here.
We, the fire source beasts, can live freely here, of course.
But the creatures of other races such as you can't survive here for long,"
the fire source beast said.
"Understood. I will follow you closely,"
Austin promised with a firm nod.
The fire source beast proceeded straight into the space full of terrible flames.
Boom! Boom!
As soon as Austin stepped into the space, he felt the flames exploding violently around him.
Indeed, in addition to the eight kinds of sacred fires, there were also a large number of other types of
fires. All kinds of Unearthly Fires in existence could be found in this space.
There were also a large number of terrible laws of fire here. They constantly materialized and turned
into rockets, launching themselves at Austin.
"This is a self-defense mechanism for this space. It will attack all alien creatures who don't belong to
the fire source beast race.
You must know that as a human, you will be attacked by the laws of this space all throughout your
stay,"
the fire source beast told Austin apologetically.
"No way!"
Austin whined as he continued to dodge the attacks.
If that was the case, then he really couldn't stay in this space for long.
"Not to worry, though.
As long as you're with me, I'll protect you.
In the meantime, this is the perfect environment for you to cultivate your fire-controlling skill.
So it's not all bad, is it?"
the fire source beast said.
As he spoke, he waved his claw and released strong law energy, forming a burning ring that enveloped
Austin.
It shielded Austin from the terrible flames around him.
In this way, Austin could focus his attention on cultivating the fire-controlling skill.
Both the fires and law of fire were very advanced in this place.
It wasn't long before Austin found that his fire-controlling skill was improving rapidly!
Austin followed the fire beast and walked deeper into the fire sea.
They continued forward
until buildings and palaces appeared up ahead.
Most of the structures were shaped like flames, scarlet and intricate.
They would have looked majestic, once.
But now, they were in ruins, damaged beyond repair by what seemed like sharp bladed weapons.
"Was there a fierce battle here?" Austin blurted out.
Both the fire source beast and Austin stared at the broken buildings, at a loss for words.
They made their way through a path scattered with broken weapons and the wreckage of magic
treasures.
