The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1114 - 1112: Realm of Earth Fire!

Chapter 1114: Chapter 1112: Realm of Earth Fire!

Lin Bai stepped through the ochre light gate and entered the second stage!

The second stage, the Realm of Earth Fire!

Upon entering the second stage, Lin Bai found himself in a land of charred soil. Below the Earth’s splits, there surged the fierce inferno of a hellish landscape, with columns of smoke drifting in the distant sky!

"Earth Fire..."

Looking down at the Realm of Earth Fire beneath his feet, Lin Bai’s face revealed a solemn expression, as the terrifying fire spiritual power around him seemed to engulf him in flames, threatening to reduce him to ashes!

The moment Chang Yun felt Lin Bai step into the second stage, he reopened his previously closed eyes, his gaze shimmering with a hint of ferocity, "Earth Fire..."

Chang Yun stretched out his hand into the air, and a terrifying force rapidly converged around Lin Bai!

A mass of restlessly roiling fire spiritual power gathered, slowly forming into clusters of flames in midair.

These flames, burning in the void, gradually moved towards Lin Bai!

"Indeed, they have come!"

Lin Bai’s expression turned grave as he felt the terror of the surrounding fire spiritual power consolidating in that instant.

"Flying Swords!"

Lin Bai stood upon his flying sword and charged into a region covered by flames!

Seeing Lin Bai attempting to ride the flying sword to escape, Chang Yun’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and he softly uttered one word, "Explode!"

Boom Rumble—

Suddenly, a massive force erupted from within the charred soil of the Realm of Earth Fire where Lin Bai was, bursting forth explosively.

A powerful force surged up from the burnt ground, igniting the Earth Fire into the heavens!

Within this second stage, it resembled an apocalyptic sight!

Earth Fire surged from below the charred ground, transforming into ferocious fire dragons that lunged at Lin Bai, seeking to tear him apart.

"Earth Fire!"

"When I first obtained the Devouring Sword Spirit, I knew that my Sword Soul could slash through Earth Fire and Heavenly Thunder, absorbing them for refinement..."

"But unfortunately, in Lingdong and on the Miracle Ridge, resources were scarce. Phenomena like Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire were too rare to find!"

"And now, you’ve actually delivered me a superb tonic!"

"Then I’ll gladly accept it!"

Lin Bai, standing on his flying sword, sped through more than a hundred snarling fire dragons in front of him.

"Let’s see how you break through my ’Thousand Dragons Devouring Heaven Formation,’" said Chang Yun coldly.

Lin Bai spun around, his gaze sharp as lightning, his eyes flashing as he scanned all directions, ensuring that there was no one else within thousands of miles.

Lin Bai’s expression grew cold!

"Devouring Sword Spirit!"

Lin Bai roared skyward with a cold and piercing look in his eyes!

A black Sword Aura flew out from above Lin Bai’s head!

"Slash!"

Lin Bai commanded the Devouring Sword Spirit, slashing down at the hundred-plus fire dragons in front of him. The black Sword Aura pierced through the entire second stage’s ground, tore apart the sky, and cleaved half of those hundred-plus fire dragons!

"Devour!"

With a roar to the heavens, the Devouring Sword Spirit vibrated violently in midair, unleashing a terrifying suction force that absorbed all the Power of Earth Fire from the shattered fire dragons into the Devouring Sword Spirit!

"This!"

Seeing this scene, Chang Yun’s pupils revealed a trace of shock.

"He actually devoured the Earth Fire!" Chang Yun’s eyes grew cold as he became more ruthless in an instant, "Fine then, you want to devour Earth Fire, I’m curious to see how much you can handle?"

"Today I will feed you to your death!"

"Earth Fire, come forth!"

Chang Yun roared, pointing into the air again, and once more, explosions erupted from the charred soil beneath Lin Bai, as fiery pillars soared into the sky. Intensely hot flames radiated from the Earth, enveloping the area in a wave of fiery power!

"Swallow!"

Lin Bai activated the Devouring Sword Spirit to absorb all the Earth Fire power into his body.

"I’ve devoured Heavenly Thunder before, but never Earth Fire. I wonder how much this will help with my breakthrough?"

A cold smile appeared on Lin Bai’s face.

When Lin Bai first awakened his Martial Soul, he had once helped a Thunder Frog cross its tribulation in the Qingling Mountains, where he had devoured some Heavenly Thunder. However, he had never come across Earth Fire before—this was his first time devouring it!

Endless flames were sucked into his body by the Devouring Sword Spirit!

But Lin Bai felt that the power of the Earth Fire here seemed endless, as if it could not be fully consumed, and the surrounding Fire Dragons offered no resistance, allowing themselves to be completely devoured by Lin Bai!

"What’s the matter?"

"You’re not controlling the power of the Earth Fire but actively giving it to me?"

"Are you trying to make me explode?"

"Heh, I’m afraid you’ll be disappointed!"

"The Devouring Sword Spirit, nothing it can’t cut, nothing it can’t swallow!"

"Cut it for me!"

Lin Bai immediately stopped the Devouring Sword Spirit and raised his Sword Aura. A black streak of sword light that reached heaven and earth slashed forth, severing all of the Earth Fire power in its path!

The power of the Earth Fire vanished into thin air, returning underground.

Lin Bai, standing on his Flying Swords, left the place in an instant!

"The third layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm!"

Lin Bai’s face broke into a slight smile, a glimmer of joy in his expression.

Having devoured so much Earth Fire power, Lin Bai’s cultivation had broken through to the third layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm!

"The power of the Earth Fire here is still abundant; what a pity. If it weren’t for someone deliberately targeting me, I could rely on the power of the Earth Fire here to break through to an even higher state!"

"But now it’s impossible, I must find the Pass Token immediately. Otherwise, who knows what means the people behind me will come up with to deal with me!"

A flash of ice-cold light passed through Lin Bai’s eyes.

Chang Yun, sitting after the Nine Stages, watched Lin Bai. His gradually lifting finger finally fell, his face showing a helpless shake of the head and a sigh.

In the Dark World, Qinghe, sitting atop a giant skull, burst into laughter, "Who would have thought, not only can he devour Demon Blood and Divine Blood to break through his cultivation, but he can also devour Earth Fire!"

"But maybe this is one of the marvels of his Martial Soul; his Martial Soul can sever Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire!"

"If it were me, at his cultivation level, I would probably shatter my Martial Soul by recklessly devouring Heavenly Thunder and Earth Fire..."

"His devouring soul is exceptionally strong!"

Qinghe watched Lin Bai, green flames in her pupils beginning to flicker violently.

"This Chang Yun, giving him over eighty Tokens in the first trial, and now he’s sending Earth Fire power his way in the second... Chang Yun, what a good person you are."

"On behalf of my tribe, I thank you," Qinghe said as she looked toward Chang Yun, bursting into wild laughter.

Chang Yun’s face was stoic as he watched Lin Bai, his expression turning fierce, "If the second trial can’t stop you, then what about the third..."

Chang Yun extended a finger towards the sky, and a gate of flames appeared before Lin Bai!

"Is this the Light Gate to the third trial?"

A look of pleasant surprise crossed Lin Bai’s face!

Then, Lin Bai stepped through the gate and entered the third trial!

"The third trial..."

Upon entering the third trial, Lin Bai found himself floating high above, and above the vault of the sky, terrifying forces of Thunderbolt Power were gradually gathering!

"Heavenly Thunder?"

A hint of joy surfaced on Lin Bai’s face as the Devouring Sword Spirit emerged from the top of his head!
