"Alright, there's no choice. He's our team leader after all.
I, Divine General Polar Ice, will be the first to follow him! "
"I, Divine General Kongming, am willing to follow!"
"Divine General Fiery Monarch is willing to follow!"
"Nezha is here!"
"I, Old Sun, will be back soon!"
A bunch of experts from the exploration team expressed their willingness to follow Ye Qing and take the risk.
They didn't think that Ye Qing could successfully refine the Origin of the Flames of the Other Shore, but they had no choice because they were on the same boat as Ye Qing.
They still had team spirit. Even if they couldn't refine the Origin of the Flames of the Other Shore, it was still a good thing to see what the Origin of the Flames of the Other Shore looked like!
Ye Qing was full of ambition. He flapped his Wings of Soaring Clouds and passed through the blazing flames in a flash. Soon, he arrived at the deepest part of the Flame Emperor's cave, where he was surrounded by walls.
A large number of Lava Puppets appeared in front of Ye Qing. The temperature they released was even more terrifying than the Flame Puppets from before.
Because of the existence of the Lava Puppets, the temperature in the deepest part of the Flame Emperor's cave was extremely high. Ordinary Celestial Cultivation cultivators wouldn't be able to withstand it and would require a strong resistance to fire.
Ye Qing estimated that if the brothers of the exploration team were to get close to the Lava Puppets, they would probably be melted instantly!
As time passed, the brothers of the exploration team followed behind Ye Qing and entered the deepest part of the Flame Emperor's cave.
Divine General Polar Ice, Divine General Kongming, and the others all turned pale. The temperature of the Lava Puppets in front of them was too terrifying. Even with their strength, they wouldn't be able to withstand it for long.
With a buzzing sound, Ye Qing released a piece of Nine Heavens Stars Flame, forming a protective circle to protect the brothers of the exploration team.
The Nine Heaven Stars Flame had the power of the void. Under its protection, the brothers of the exploration team would be safe for the time being.
In fact, Ye Qing didn't need their help. If he wanted to completely refine the Origin of the Flames of the Other Shore, he alone would be enough.
The lava puppets in front of him were surrounded by a large expanse of white flames, which contained the origin of the Paramita Flames.
Ye Qing's eyes flickered when he saw the Paramita Flames in front of him. He didn't expect the Paramita Flames to be so strong. It was much stronger than the Nine Heavens Stellar Flames!
In the past, Ye Qing's goal in joining the exploration team was not to seize the Paramita Fire for the Heavenly Court, but to refine and absorb it for himself.
He specialized in flames and had once devoured all kinds of powerful Heavenly Flames. If he could devour the Paramita Flames again, his overall strength would definitely rise to another level!
Ye Qing was determined to obtain the Fire of the Other Shore ahead!
However, before he could refine the Paramita Flames, he had to deal with those lava puppets first.
"Where did this human come from?
How dare you barge into the Holy Land of the Paramita World! "
A lava puppet spoke, its eyes flickering with an ominous glint. It wasn't a human lifeform and was only living in the form of a puppet. However, it had gained sentience!
It could be said that those lava golems were no different from humans. They were all living creatures.
"Lowly human, you must be a slave from the desolate land. You dare to approach our Sacred Flames? You're simply courting death!"
In the lava puppet's words, the Paramita Flames were the Sacred Flames. It was an incomparably sacred and pure existence in the Paramita World. It couldn't be tainted!
"Did you guys sense it? There seems to be a Sacred Flame in that brat's body. Could it be that he devoured the Paramita Flames outside?"
The lava puppet was a bit surprised. Since ancient times, there were almost no existences that could successfully devour the Paramita Flames.
Even the angels in the Paramita World couldn't do it. Yet, a puny human from the desolate land actually succeeded. He even wanted to threaten the Paramita Flames' origin!
There were a total of five lava puppets present. They were fierce and fiendish. They were definitely not easy to deal with.
The lava puppets gathered and surrounded Ye Qing. They looked like they would attack at any moment.
Their mission was to protect the Paramita Flames' origin. They would attack any intruders they encountered.
However, the enemy they faced this time was merely in the eighth stage of the Heaven realm. They truly didn't have any interest in fighting.
"Old Five, I'll leave the task of taking care of this brat to you!
Kill him. It's best if you can solve the problem within a minute!
Don't waste our sleeping time! "
The lava puppet's boss gave the order. Old Five nodded and laughed coldly. "Boss, don't worry. Taking care of a mere slave from the desolate land won't take a minute!
Moreover, he's a Heaven realm slave. I can instantly kill him! "
Old Five was full of confidence. He waved his fist and punched towards Ye Qing's face. His killing intent was heavy.
"Refine!"
Ye Qing smiled indifferently. He directly released a terrifying Nine Heavens Stars Flame. In addition to the Nihility Devouring Flame, he refined and absorbed the huge lava puppet on the spot, turning it into pure fire attributed energy.
Ye Qing's performance of refining a lava puppet in an instant was extremely shocking. The exploration team members behind him were already numb from shock. They didn't know what to say.
The remaining four lava puppets all trembled. Many sparks fell from their bodies as they felt an indescribable fear.
They had naively thought that Old Five could easily take care of the human from the desolate land in front of them. Now, it seemed that they had completely thought too much.
The slaves from the desolate land in their eyes didn't seem as bad as they had imagined.
"You … Don't come over!
What do you want to do? "Old Three cried out in alarm.
"Don't come over!
If you come over, I'll shout for help! "
"Damn, what a terrifying human. What kind of monster are you? How can you refine Old Five?"
The group of lava puppets lost their heads out of fear. They kept retreating until they were leaning against the wall.
They were like frightened children, hiding in a corner and shivering.
Ye Qing was stunned. He had thought that after killing Old Five, the other lava puppets would come to take revenge. However, the situation wasn't like that at all. The remaining four lava puppets had no intention of taking revenge at all.
"Damn, what are you doing?
Don't you have any backbone? Your brother is dead and you're not going to take revenge on me?
Can't you act according to the rules? "Ye Qing was speechless. The corner of his mouth twitched.
"We won't take revenge. Big Brother, please spare us!
We didn't mean to offend you! "
"Yeah, cultivation isn't easy. We've painstakingly cultivated our spiritual intelligence. You can't destroy us!"
"Big Brother, please spare us!"
The four lava puppets were so scared that they wet their pants. They begged bitterly, their huge bodies trembling non-stop. They didn't look mighty at all. It was a stark contrast to their previous arrogant appearance!
"Damn, what's going on?
Have you guys lost your minds?
You're begging for mercy without even fighting?! "
Ye Qing was speechless. He still wanted to refine some more fire attribute energy, but the four lava puppets were begging for mercy with pitiful looks on their faces, so he couldn't really do anything else. If he forced it, it would be a bit unkind.
"Since you've surrendered, then kneel down and put your hands on your head!
Don't move!
If anyone dares to move, I'll blow their brains out! "
With Ye Qing's command, the four lava puppets didn't dare to delay. They hurriedly followed his instructions and kneeled down with their hands on their heads. Their faces were full of helplessness.
"Big Brother, we've followed your instructions. What do we do next?"
"That's right, Big Brother. You promised to let us go. You can't go back on your words!"
The lava puppets shouted. Ye Qing smiled calmly and looked at the exploration team brothers behind him.
"Let you guys go? Sure, no problem. Play with my brothers for a while first!
Remember, control the temperature of the flames you guys release. Don't hurt my brothers, or you know the consequences! "
Ye Qing's face was full of smiles. He could use the four lava puppets to give the exploration team brothers an opportunity to train.
