2199 Change in the World
"I…"
Xue Yuan was stunned by Xie Ling's stare.
On the surface, he was questioning Su Zimo. However, in reality, he was questioning the rules of the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom's Nine Heavens that had been established for so many years!
He was doubting the judgment of Perfected Immortal Xie Ling!
He was questioning the judgment of the experts present!
Against Xie Ling's Perfected Immortal pressure, Xue Yuan stood on the spot with his mind in a mess. His face was flushed red and he could not speak.
"Sit down!"
As the person in charge of the Xue Clan this time round and Xue Yuan's senior, Xue Qian could not stand it anymore and stood up, hollering.
"Uncle…"
Xue Yuan looked aggrieved.
"Shut up, don't embarrass me!"
Xue Qian's expression darkened as he cursed again.
Xue Yuan did not dare to say anything and could only sit back obediently.
Xu Xiaotian, who was standing beside Xie Qingcheng, was in a great mood and snickered when he saw that.
"Your Highness Xie Ling, please calm down,"
Xue Qian cupped his fists and apologized, saying with a guilty expression, "This junior of the Xue Clan doesn't know etiquette or rules. The nonsense he's spouting has embarrassed Your Highness and everyone."
"It's fine, sit down,"
Xie Ling's expression softened as he nodded. "However, Fellow Daoist Xue, remember to discipline the juniors in your clan properly when you return."
Xue Qian agreed hurriedly.
"There's no need to make a fuss,"
Prince Yuan Zuo was unwilling to see Su Zimo so cocky as well and said coldly, "The test of Level 1 hasn't begun yet. He'll have to endure it later on!"
"I don't believe that he can still be so calm when the world changes and a calamity descends."
As though the Nine Heavens sensed something, right in front of everyone, a blazing sun suddenly appeared in the firmaments like a gigantic fireball burning with flames!
The blazing sun hovered above the heads of many cultivators and was extremely close, as though it was within reach.
The temperature of Level 1 shot up and the fires burning in the surroundings rose rapidly as more and more flames grew!
In such an environment, it took a huge toll on the Essence Qi of many cultivators who released immortal arts and divine powers.
Some cultivators could not withstand it and were devoured by the flames before they could retreat.
This change made the environment of Level 1 even more difficult to endure.
Many cultivators slowed down.
However, for those at the top such as Feng Yin, Tai Hua, Tie Han and Yue Feng, their speed did not decrease at all and they continued advancing.
The blazing sun in the skies had no effect on them!
Before long, another blazing sun appeared beside the first blazing sun in the firmaments!
Two gigantic fireballs hovered high in the skies!
The temperature of Level 1 rose once more!
After a while, a third blazing sun appeared…
In less than half an hour, there were already nine blazing suns high in the firmaments of Level 1 that burned the world.
The ground within had long cracked, revealing gigantic rifts where scarlet flames spewed out as though they could devour everything!
The flames of the world were almost connected.
This time round, even the speed of the two reincarnated immortals, Feng Yin and Tai Hua, decreased slightly.
It was unknown what secret skill Feng Yin used, but a pitch-black storm appeared beside him and pulled him forward.
Everywhere the black storm passed, the flames were extinguished, leaving only charred marks on the ground.
Tai Hua's Rain Summoning Technique seemed like it could not hold out either.
He raised his head and spat out a beam of light that entered the dark clouds above his head.
Electric arcs appeared one after another on the dark clouds that were about to dissipate and gathered them once more with a relentless downpour!
Tie Han's methods were shocking as well.
His expression was cold as ice and his body was shrouded by streams of cold qi. Even his armor was covered by a layer of frost that was invulnerable to flames!
Many cultivators looked at Su Zimo again.
However, they realized that he did not release any methods despite being burned by the nine blazing suns. He merely walked around Level 1 as though he was searching for something.
"This person's physique is so strong that he's not afraid of flames?"
"He must have a special physique. Look at him, he's not even sweating at all. It's like he's having fun…"
"He's in no hurry. Is he looking for treasures?"
…
Nine Heavens.
The nine blazing suns hung high in the skies and Su Zimo felt a little hot as well. However, the heat disappeared after he circulated his Green Lotus bloodline slightly.
He was not roaming around the place searching for treasures as many outside had guessed.
He was actually searching for people from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect!
Since the other party wanted to join forces to deal with him, Su Zimo did not mind taking the initiative to look for these people and get rid of them one by one!
However, he had roamed this place for a long time. Although he encountered many cultivators along the way, he did not encounter cultivators of the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect.
Although Level 1 was only a space, it was extremely vast within.
There were more than a million cultivators who entered and there were only a few dozens of disciples from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom and Flying Immortal Sect. It was not easy to encounter these people in such a vast world.
Su Zimo searched for a long time but to no avail. He gave up on this matter for the time being and advanced at full speed!
He took out his badge and took a look.
The number displayed his ranking at more than 900,000.
During this period of time, he moved around and his ranking decreased significantly.
Putting the badge back, Su Zimo spread his body and transformed into a streak of light, speeding forward at an extremely fast speed!
For others, it would be extremely difficult to pass through Level 1 and they might even die within after expending a lot of Essence Qi.
However, for Su Zimo, he could roam freely within with his Green Lotus True Body without any reservations!
The high temperature of the flames did not affect the Green Lotus True Body at all.
After Su Zimo decided to speed up, his ranking jumped forward in an unusually terrifying manner!
800,000…
600,000…
300,000…
In less than an hour, Su Zimo had already surpassed more than half of the cultivators!
Right then, another massive quake happened in the world!
The ground shook continuously. Initially, only flames burst forth from the cracks.
But now, scorching lava began to flow out from the cracks in the ground and extended continuously like a man-eating beast.
The temperature of the lava was even more terrifying than the original flames!
Some cultivators could not dodge in time and were devoured by the lava.
In the blink of an eye, they died without corpses left!
Against such a change, many cultivators released their divine powers and protected themselves.
Most of the cultivators leaped into the air.
Although flying in midair consumed more Essence Qi, it was better than being devoured by the underground lava.
Right then, the skies shook continuously as flames rained down!
Heavenly Fire had descended!
