Who Said I Was in the Four Extremes Realm?

"Sun God Fire!"

After hearing the system's notification, Li Qingxu was shaken to his core.

The True Sun Fire was one of the Top Ten Exotic Fires of the Primordial Era, and ranked among the very best.

This divine flame had formed when Di Jun's Golden Crow Divine Fire fused and transformed with Xi He's Taiyin Origin. It possessed terrifying power, enough to scorch the heavens, boil the seas, and destroy all things in the world.

He was currently in need of powerful divine abilities. If he could comprehend the Sun God Fire, his strength would undoubtedly increase tremendously.

At the same time, a new message from Xiao Yan appeared in the Myriad Worlds Chat Group.

[Xiao Yan: Senior, the Bone Spirit Cold Fire I offered you is the eleventh-ranked Heavenly Flame on Dou Qi Continent. It was born in a place of extreme cold and yin, and can burn an enemy's soul. It can also be used to refine pills. I wonder if Senior likes it?]

Xiao Yan's tone was a little tentative, as he worried that the Bone Spirit Cold Fire might not meet Senior's standards.

[Qingxu Daojun: It is indeed quite good. I have received your kind gesture.]

Only after seeing this message did Xiao Yan finally breathe a sigh of relief.

[Xiao Yan: I'm glad Senior likes it. My cultivation is limited for now, but once I make further progress, I'll find even more precious treasures to offer you and express my gratitude.]

[Ye Hei: Not bad, kid. You know how to win people over.]

In the Shading the Heavens World, after refining the energy with all his might, Ye Hei had finally absorbed all the energy contained in the spring water. His cultivation had also surged to the Second Heaven of Immortal Platform.

Earlier, Wang Teng's younger brother, Wang Chong, had repeatedly provoked him at places like Qishi Mansion in Central Continent and Qinling Dragon Cave, relying on his elder brother's reputation and acting arrogantly.

Ye Hei wasn't Wang Chong's father, so he wasn't about to indulge him. He had simply struck him down.

That had also enraged Wang Teng, and the two had become enemies. At Qinling Immortal Pond, Wang Teng had even relied on his cultivation at the Second Heaven of Immortal Platform to try to kill him, but he had failed.

Both he and Wang Teng were famous figures throughout Burial Emperor Star, so their conflict soon drew countless people's attention.

Wang Teng's father, Wang Chengkun, then made a high-profile declaration: "My son Wang Teng has the makings of a Great Emperor. Even if Ye Hei has the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, as long as Wang Teng proves himself and becomes an emperor first, Ye Hei will have no choice but to rank beneath him."

Wang Chengkun even wanted Wang Teng to kill Ye Hei, eliminating a future rival on the Emperor's Path while forging an Invincible Dao Heart.

So, after hearing that Ye Hei and Ji Ziyue were rather close, he formally proposed a marriage alliance with the Ji Clan on behalf of the Wang family, intending to force Ye Hei to come out and fight Wang Teng.

Before, Ye Hei had been far behind in cultivation, so he had been quite wary of Wang Teng.

Now that they were at the same level, Ye Hei had nothing to fear. He immediately decided to set out and kill Wang Teng, who was known as the Northern Emperor.

[Yongle Emperor: High Immortal, I have already issued an order to gather treasures from across the country. Once I return to Beijing, I will immediately select a Supreme Treasure for you as a small token of my appreciation.]

After obtaining the Divine Spring, Zhu Di hadn't kept it for himself. Instead, he had added it to the water supply consumed by the Great Ming soldiers.

After drinking water mixed with the Divine Spring, hundreds of thousands of Great Ming soldiers had not only recovered from their injuries and illnesses, but their spirits had soared and their physical strength had multiplied dozens of times.

Only after joining the Myriad Worlds Chat Group had he truly felt how insignificant he was. His horizons had also undergone a complete transformation.

What was Mobei? What was the Grassland?

He would lead Great Ming's cavalry to conquer vast territories, making Great Ming shine as brightly as the sun and moon and endure for all eternity.

And the first step would be to wipe out the Japanese Pirates, that small country to the east that had constantly harassed Great Ming.

Of course, he hadn't forgotten to bring a few gourds of water for his eldest son, Zhu Gaochi.

Once Zhu Gaochi drank this Divine Water, he would surely be reborn.

With Zhu Gaochi handling the affairs of state, Zhu Di could lead his army on campaigns without any worries.

After chatting briefly with Ye Hei and the others, Li Qingxu immediately decided to find a place to refine the True Sun Fire.

After all, Kunlun Mountain was still countless miles away, and he didn't know what dangers he might encounter along the way.

Besides, mastering the True Sun Fire would also improve his chances of becoming a Saint's disciple.

Li Qingxu flew through the sky on a white cloud, releasing his Spiritual Sense to sweep across the mountains and rivers below.

Before long, he found a natural cave.

Li Qingxu descended from the sky into the cave, then enveloped it with divine power to prevent anyone from sensing the aura of the True Sun Fire.

Once he sat down cross-legged, he took the True Sun Fire out of the System Space.

"Boom!"

A blazing red flame appeared before him, its fire constantly flickering as if it were alive and radiating terrifying heat.

If Li Qingxu hadn't already enveloped the entire cave with divine power, the cave—and even the whole mountain—would have melted away in an instant.

"As expected of one of the Top Ten Exotic Fires of the Primordial Era. The Sun God Fire is truly terrifying."

Li Qingxu couldn't help but exclaim.

Its terrifying power could scorch the heavens and boil the seas, far surpassing the fire-element spiritual energy he had previously wielded. The difference was like heaven and earth.

After reflecting on it, Li Qingxu immediately closed his eyes, focused his mind, and began to refine the True Sun Fire with all his might.

While Li Qingxu refined the True Sun Fire—

In the Shading the Heavens World, at the Ji Clan's entrance.

The bright moon hung high in the sky, spilling its watery moonlight across the land and casting a silver sheen over all creation.

Wang Teng sat astride the Golden Ancient Chariot, his figure tall and imposing. The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise—the Four Symbols Divine Beasts—circled around him, making him look like a god descended to earth.

Wang Chengkun and the other Wang family elders stood behind Wang Teng, ready to witness with their own eyes how he would butcher Ye Hei, who possessed the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo.

At a pavilion in the Ji Clan, Ji Ziyue rested her chin in her hands and gazed into the distance with anticipation.

She hoped Ye Hei would appear in time to declare his feelings, but she also didn't want him to be put in danger because of her.

After all, Ye Hei was only at the peak of the Four Poles, while Wang Teng was a mighty cultivator at the Second Heaven of Immortal Platform.

Even with the Innate Sacred Body Dao Embryo, Ye Hei couldn't make up for the gap in their cultivation.

Before long, Ye Hei flew in from the distance beneath the bright moonlight, accompanied by Pang Bo, Duan De, and the Big Black Dog.

The moment Ji Ziyue saw Ye Hei appear, her eyes lit up, shining even more brilliantly than the moon above.

"Ye Hei, you actually dared to show up and face this emperor!"

Wang Teng stood on the ancient chariot and spoke. His voice rang out like a great bell, brimming with imposing force.

"Tch, you're only at the Second Heaven of Immortal Platform, and you dare call yourself a Great Emperor in front of this emperor?"

Before Ye Hei could respond, the Black Emperor couldn't stand Wang Teng's posturing and immediately retorted, "A toad with a feather duster stuck in its backside—what are you trying to be, a peacock? Bah!"

"Exactly. With a character like yours, you think you can prove yourself and become an emperor? You have no self-awareness at all. You aren't even worth one hair on my brother's leg."

Pang Bo grinned, revealing two rows of gleaming white teeth.

"Hmph!"

Wang Teng's face darkened, and he radiated a palpable killing intent.

"Once I've killed him, I'll deal with the rest of you!"

At this, Ye Hei gave him a meaningful smile.

"Oh? Are you really that confident you can beat me?"

Wang Teng snorted. "I'm a mighty cultivator at the Second Heaven of Immortal Platform. Killing a mere Four Extremes Realm ant like you will be as easy as lifting a finger!"

"Is that so?"

"But who said I was in the Four Extremes Realm?"
