Chapter 1020 - Absorption And Riot!

"What did you gain?" An Lan asked curiously when he saw how happy Wang Teng was.
He still didn't know what Wang Teng did in the flaming river.
With a mysterious smile, Wang Teng stretched out his hand, where a ball of crimson flame was hovering.
The crimson flame was extremely strange. It constantly changed its form. First, it was a dragon soaring into the clouds, and next, it was a phoenix spreading its wings. There were also various beasts such as turtles, pythons, toads, and birds.
"This is… a divine flame!" An Lan's eyes widened. He doubted his eyes.
Another divine flame!
This fellow already possessed a divine flame. Now, he has another one.
What is this luck?
I'm jealous!
"That's right. It's a divine flame." Wang Teng smiled and nodded. He didn't hide it because he couldn't hide what he was going to do next.
"You got it from the flaming river?" An Lan took a deep breath and calmed down before asking.
The river had existed for a long time. Even though there was word on the streets, no one had discovered traces of the divine flame here. Over time, people started treating it as a rumor. After all, the owner of Flaming River World didn't reveal any news about a divine flame.
If a universe-stage martial warrior possessed a divine flame, it would be impossible for him to hide it, to the extent that no one knew about it. Unless he never used the divine flame.
But it only took Wang Teng a few days to discover the existence of the divine flame and subdue it. This felt like a dream.
Their main objective this time was for the trial mission. Moreover, Flaming River World was at its limits, and time was not on their side. This was unlike previous candidates, who had plenty of time. They would stay for several months, yet they were still left empty-handed.
When you compared it like this…
That was why An Lan found it incredible.
Wang Teng nodded and didn't explain much. He was going to let him digest it slowly. He then walked up and tossed out the flame in his hand. "Go."
The Soul Of Thousand Beasts Flame floated above the river and emitted a strange wave.
"What is this for?" An Lan asked.
"Watch and you'll know." Wang Teng smiled and motioned him to enjoy the show.
Boom!
At this moment, the flames in the flaming river churned abruptly, and monstrous waves rushed into the sky.
Rumble~
Amid the roars, all the flames converged towards the Soul Of Thousand Beasts Flame and merged with it.
It was a spectacular scene. The entire flaming river was surging like a flood as if a catastrophe was imminent. Even Wang Teng shuddered when he saw what was happening, and his eyes glistened slightly.
If he didn't have divine flames, he wouldn't dare to face such a terrifying flame.
"Is this divine flame going to absorb the entire river?" An Lan asked in disbelief as if he had guessed something.
"To be more precise, this entire river is part of it."
"Gasp… This divine flame is terrifying!" An Lan exclaimed.
The three mecha cosmos-stage martial warriors exchanged glances and took a few steps back. They didn't dare to approach the raging river.
"An Lan, get ready. Cao Hongtu and the others would definitely be attracted by such a commotion," Wang Teng cautioned.
An Lan was stunned and reacted immediately. "Okay!"
The three mechas tensed up and got ready for battle.
"Hurry up!" Wang Teng ordered.
The Soul Of Thousand Beasts Flame possessed a certain bit of intelligence. It increased its speed of absorption when it heard that.
Back then, the owner of the Flaming River World formed the flaming river with the divine flame as its core. Its length spanned the entire world, and it was impossible for it to absorb it all at once.
Wang Teng knew that too and frowned slightly. He could only wait helplessly for Cao Hongtu's group to arrive.
…
At the same time, a few hundred kilometers away from Wang Teng, Cao Hongtu and the others were hunting Fire Black Toads in the flaming river.
Although they didn't think of Wang Teng's plan, they could enter the flaming river with Sinclamon's help to hunt the Fire Black Toads. They were quite efficient as well.
They had already slain more than a thousand Fire Black Toads, and a total of 41 mid-tier imperial-level Fire Black Toads. They would soon meet the requirements.
Of course, this was the result of Sinclamon and Cao Hongtu joining hands. If it was just Cao Hongtu alone, he wouldn't have been able to do it.
After all, their strengths were suppressed, and they were unable to bring out the might of a heaven-stage martial warrior.
Just as they were surrounding a mid-tier imperial-level Fire Black Toad, an unexpected situation arose.
The Fire Black Toad fled in horror and broke past their encirclement as if it had sensed something terrifying. The surrounding star beasts were on a rampage as well. Roars soon echoed throughout the river. It was full of chaos.
"What's going on?" Cao Hongtu frowned and had an ominous feeling in his heart.
"This is… a star beast riot!" Sinclamon's expression changed slightly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Right then, the fleeing star beasts exploded and ignited into flames before disappearing.
The group's expressions changed, and they felt a shiver travel down their spines. All the star beasts burst into flames. This was too strange!
They didn't even know what was going on.
The unknown was always frightening.
"Let's go. This river is abnormal. We can't stay for long," Sinclamon said hurriedly.
Without any hesitation, he rushed out of the flaming river.
"What is going on? Why are these star beasts exploding?" Cao Hongtu had a grim expression. Their mission was not yet complete, and such a thing happened. It was depressing.
"Father, what now?" Cao Wu asked.
"Let's go!" Cao Hongtu gritted his teeth and followed Sinclamon after a moment of hesitation.
No matter what, staying alive was more important.
An abnormal situation happened in the river. Before they figured it out, it was best to leave. Otherwise, they wouldn't know what might happen next.
Cao Hongtu and Cao Wu rushed out of the river along with the cosmos-stage martial warriors that they had recruited.
After some time, they got out of the flaming river and reached the skies.
The entire flaming river was churning and looked extremely horrifying. Meanwhile, Sinclamon was staring at the river as if he was thinking about something.
