Three days later!
Night.
The day and night in the Flaming River World relied on the five fireballs in the sky. When they went down, night dawned.
It was said that these five fireballs would land in the volcano in the middle of the Flaming River World. In the morning, they would rise automatically. They were like five suns.
The power of the universe-stage martial warrior wasn't something ordinary martial warriors could imagine.
A bonfire burned in the wilderness.
Wang Teng and his team sat beside the bonfire. Cao Jiaojiao was still tied up and thrown behind them. There were whipped marks all over her body. She seemed to have been badly tormented.
She would be sprawled on the ground if it wasn't for the rock behind her.
Wang Teng barbecued the cleaned Flaming Crystal Red Phosphorus Worms. A strong fragrance wafted in the air.
An Lan and the others wrinkled their noses. They were swallowing their salivas.
They were mechas, but strangely, they could eat and drink. They were just like any other lifeforms.
"I didn't think that the Flaming Crystal Red Phosphorus Worm would be a delicacy," An Lan licked his lips and said.
"Can y'all eat?" Wang Teng asked curiously.
"Of course. We have life replication technology, so the internal structure of our body is the same as any other living creature. We have different organs in our bodies and the food we eat can be directly converted to energy," An Lan explained.
"I don't see you eating normally," Wang Teng said.
"Why should I eat if it's not tasty?" An Lan said in contempt.
"You're quite picky." Wang Teng was speechless.
"Is it ready?" An Lan asked impatiently.
"Almost done."
Wang Teng barbecued for two to three more minutes. The Flaming Crystal Red Phosphorus Worms had turned golden brown with a hint of red. They looked appetizing.
An Lan and the others made their moves before Wang Teng could say anything. In the blink of an eye, more than half of the worms were gone.
"Are you hungry ghosts?" Wang Teng was stunned, hurriedly pulling the remaining food back.
He had worked hard to barbecue these worms. It would be frustrating if he didn't get to have a taste.
Fortunately, they caught many Flaming Crystal Red Phosphorus Worms over the past few days, so there was enough food.
"Little White, Old Metal, have a taste of it."
Wang Teng finally remembered his two poor spiritual pets after taking a few bites and pulled them out of the space fragment.
"What's this smell? It's so fragrant." The metal armor flaming scorpion's eyes lit up.
"Flaming Crystal Red Phosphorus Worm," Wang Teng replied.
"Oh!" The metal armor flaming scorpion grabbed a stick with its pincers and placed it in its mouth. A stick was gone just like that. It chewed a few times and exclaimed, "Delicious! Tasty! This little worm is so delicious!"
"Caw, caw…" Little White was swift too. It bit the worm with its beak, tilted its head, and swallowed it whole. Then, it cawed happily.
"Hahaha, Wang Teng, your spiritual pets are foodies!" An Lan burst out laughing.
"You're the same." Wang Teng glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.
An Lan coughed and said, "We have collected enough flaming river crystals over the past few days, right?"
"We have 54,000 kilograms of it. This is way out of our expectations. It should be enough." Wang Teng nodded.
These few days, they had searched large areas that hadn't been dug using the map Di Qi gave them. They were lucky and found many flaming river crystals there. After collecting all of them, they accumulated 54,000 kilograms of it
By right, they only needed 25,000 kilograms. Collecting more was better, but they already had enough.
Wang Teng didn't plan to search anymore. They had two more missions to complete, so they mustn't waste too much time on the first task.
Besides, he didn't believe that Cao Hongtu could surpass him.
54,000 kilograms wasn't a small number.
They found so many crystals because Wang Teng could sense the fire Force within a wide range below the rock layer using his Emerald Glazed Flame. Cao Hongtu didn't have this skill.
Also, they hadn't met Sinclamon after he ran away. Wang Teng suspected that they had given up on the first mission.
Cao Jiaojiao's gaze finally flickered when she heard the quantity of flaming river crystals they had collected. She started to feel depressed.
Little White and the metal armor flaming scorpion had swallowed the Flaming Crystal Red Phosphorus Worms. A red glow exuded out of their bodies, and their auras rose tremendously.
The Flaming Crystal Red Phosphorus Worm was an emperor-level star beast. As emperor-level star beasts, it had great benefits for Little White and the metal armor flaming scorpion.
Furthermore, they ate multiple pieces, so it was normal that their ability rose.
…
After having their fill, Wang Teng took out the map and spent the night rushing over to where the flaming rivers were.
They found some Fire Black Toads along the way, but there were too few of them. It would take a long time for them to accumulate 500 kills.
Thus, they decided to head to the flaming river. That was the home of the Fire Black Toads so there would be many for them to kill.
Wang Teng didn't know what the flaming river was. The map only showed the location.
When the five fireballs rose into the sky, they finally reached their destination. He finally saw the real appearance of the flaming river.
"Oh my god!"
Everyone, including Wang Teng, widened their eyes in disbelief.
"The owner of this world is impressive!" An Lan took a long time to regain his composure. He was awestruck.
"The flaming river is a river of fire in the sky! This is unbelievable," Wang Teng took a deep breath and said.
Wang Teng and his team were floating a few hundred meters above the ground. In front of them, there was a ten-meter-wide river of fire flowing into the horizon.
Neither the start nor the end was visible.
It was said that the flaming river started from the edge of this world and flowed back to the other edge. It moved continuously and was a mystical presence.
It was hard to believe how this river existed.
What astounded Wang Teng was, there were countless red attribute bubbles floating above the flaming river. They were more than the ones he saw in the lava swamp.
Pick them up!
Wang Teng's gaze shone brightly. He released his spiritual power and pulled the bubbles over.
In an instant, the attribute bubbles flew over to him like sparrows returning home. They merged into his body.
The scene was magnificent.
Unfortunately, no one could witness it.
Constellation Force (Fire)*15
Constellation Force (Fire)*20
Constellation Force (Fire)*10
Constellation Force (Fire)*50
Constellation Force (Fire)*30
Constellation Force (Fire)*80
…
There were so many attribute bubbles that the entire collection process took more than a minute. Mind you, Wang Teng's speed of collection was extremely fast. Normally, he only needed a second.
However, this time, the process took more than a minute. It was hard to imagine.
Boom!
All the attribute bubbles contained constellation fire Force. The Force started flowing around Wang Teng's body. The different streams gathered like a roaring river and swarmed through his limbs like floodwaters. The rumbling sounded continuously.
He activated his Star Fire Scripture and operated it once. All the Forces surged towards the sea of nihility.
Boom!
An explosion occurred above the sea of nihility. The fire constellations trembled violently as the large amount of fire Force crashed into them.
They flew out from the line of constellations and started spinning above the sea of nihility at high speed.
At this moment, the constellations froze for a second before shooting towards the center.
Boom!
A frightening explosion occurred. A vast sea of Force swept through the area.
The collision of the constellations formed a large crimson whirlpool with numerous fiery-red crystals decorating it like stars. They flickered and shone brightly in the sky of darkness. It was a dazzling sight.
The whirlpool spun at high speed while condensing towards a certain point. A transformation was taking place.
…
Time passed slowly. No one knew how long it took.
The crimson whirlpool had disappeared by now, condensing into a fiery-red ball. It was many times bigger than the other Force constellations. It seemed to be made of fiery-red crystals. It looked like a star.
Celestial stage!
Wang Teng had reached the celestial stage!
Before he could feel happy, a strong force of vitality shot out from the constellation and merged into his body.
Under the influence of this vitality, Wang Teng's physical body started changing. His planetary-stage body evolved into a celestial-stage body.
His bones, blood, muscles… and even the cells in his body took a leap in quality. The process felt slow, but it actually happened at an unbelievably fast speed, finishing within a few breaths.
Wang Teng let out a long sigh. A piercing red light flashed in his eyes.
An oppressive aura exuded from his body.
This aura disappeared in an instant. Although Wang Teng suppressed it quickly, as a heaven-stage martial warrior, An Lan still detected it.
"You had a breakthrough?" He was dumbfounded.
Wang Teng decided not to hide. He nodded naturally as if he had completed a simple task.
"Celestial stage?" An Lan probed further.
It was understandable why he lost his cool. Wang Teng's breakthrough happened without any warning. He made it look so simple.
Other people worked extremely hard and were exceptionally careful during their breakthrough but Wang Teng did it as easily as sleeping or eating. Anyone would find it appalling.
"Yes, I had some enlightenment after I saw this flaming river and naturally advanced," Wang Teng replied casually.
An Lan didn't know how to respond to his bragging. After a few seconds, he said, "From now on, you're the best at boasting!"
