Chapter 459: Soren

No one has come here for sightseeing, so going straight to the point was nice.

Following the guide, Honen Kuma, Xia Feng and Bruan were talking about the fire apple. The treasure was appealing even to them. During that conversation, Bruan tried to somehow make an alliance between Xia Feng.

Of course, they are friends and teammates, but when it comes to treasures, the things change greatly. Who would like to share the treasure from the lucky monkey? Unluckily enough, Bruan had already faced the disparity between him and Xia Feng.

So other than their 'obvious' teamwork, Bruan hoped to convince Xia Feng to split up the treasure once they succeed in winning it.

"No way, Bruannn~~"

"Tsk, then just a bite."

"That I can reconsider, haha~~"

Who would share such treasure between the friends? Only those who have the deep friendship would do so, but Bruan was pretty new friend even though more than fifty years had passed after their first meeting.

But what is fifty years in the cultivation world? Nothing.

Thus, the talks ended and the silence ensued.

The silence was not the only thing surrounding Xia Feng and Bruan. The qi formations also spread across their bodies, marking them and checking up their intentions. There were a lot of defensive mechanics that worked like cogs together.

As the last formation enveloped them, the vision of all cultivators shook bountifully. Every piece of land within their vicinity turned dark with the huge crater going across several miles. Within that crater, the brawny figure of the man rested.

Sitting cross-legged, the master of Honen Divine Realm was patiently waiting for the invited cultivators, his qi had been circulating in visible to naked eye way. It was thanks to the lack of clothes on his wide back!

He had cracks containing something akin to lava going across his whole body. Below, he had tattered black pants that were covering what they had to cover. Other than that, the aura of powerful and influential cultivator was oozing out from his form.

"Master Hoav. This cultivation step should bring him closer to the divine realms..."

"Someone who can withstand all the flames of us gathered here is worthy of reaching the divine realms."

"Dear guests, feel free to unleash your qi. Our master had been long prepared for that event!"

Honen Kuma urged people to unleash their techniques containing their strongest fire qi and comprehension as he was aware how impatient Honen Hoav is. The master just needed the two steps to reach the Divine Empyreana Realm.

Something that Xia Feng had reached in the past.

Shuuuuuuuuuu! Shuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Shuuuuuuuuuuuuu~~

The flames erupted from every invited guest then raising the temperature of the crater tenfold. As the different shades of the red and orange color blended, the powerful wave swept through the crater like avalanche going for the master of this place.

"HOH!"

Finally, the loud voice of the master rang out. As if setting up the dominance, it was louder and more domineering that the impending flame wave. However, the flames weren't losing when it comes to the majesty.

In a different shapes and colors, the flame wave had at least better appearance compared to the brawny master. Regardless of that, the master let out all his cracks to open wide. He was slowly turning into the fine piece of magma stone that just needed some polishing.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

And in this way, Master Hoav was absorbing the flames from every cultivator, showing off his physique and outstanding cultivation method. A pleasant laughter then followed that explosion!

"Haha! This is it! I can feel it! Keep going!"

If it was normal battle, then the veins would've been already crawling around the temples of the fire cultivators. 

But since it was the master who laughed, the cultivators stood silent out from fear and respect. Then, they were also doing their best to just provide the best quality of the flames using various treasures and methods.

All for the fire apple!

Xia Feng himself had opened up the connection to his dantian. He asked his ladies for help and using that qi tunnel, the erossu ladies send out their qi flames that blended with Xia Feng easily thanks to them being connected by the erossu destiny.

Thus, Xia Feng became rather resourceful cultivator here.

However, a particular flame had gathered his attention. His eyes went wide and he nearly couldn't believe it. In the vast cultivation world, he had met someone he knew! The steps of the erossu turned to the side.

He slowly knocked the ground, then getting the attention from the other party, some fire weapons got raised at him.

"What are you doing? Do you dare to disrespect the name of Master Hoav?"

"No, can't you see that I am still using my flames to help him? Also, I am not here to speak with you, a mere guard."

"..."

Xia Feng used his eyes that shone orange to ward off the guard who was kinda hurt from his words. Just that alone exposed how unique the erossu is even though his dantian is at mere Kingdom Creation Realm.

He then got an attention of the lady who was the one protected.

Her flames were also the strongest and most pure from this group.

"Who are you? What do you want from us?"

She asked, her voice cold contrary to her qi. Her appearance was that of a blonde beauty with red hairs at the end. From top to bottom, the blonde and golden color was cladding her with beautiful clothes that made her look noble like.

Now, her golden red eyes were looking at Xia Feng seriously.

Was it because his flames were way more than she could possibly take... and comprehend?

"In the past, I had a lot of names."

Reincarnation Emperor was one of those.

But there was name from the life that Xia Feng was way too clearly aware about. The life that had taught him a lot and even made him yearn for innocence, after the lonely and hard life he had experienced, so Xia Feng even inadvertently acted and reasoned as if he was younger by at least a few thousand years. It was mostly during The Sous Sect time where everything was rather too chaotic.

He began cultivation path at eighteen years old, but during his time in the sous sect, Xia Feng had allowed the erossu destiny to trash him way too much around. He met nice ladies though, but as an old monster, Xia Feng should had taken the reins of the destiny in a flash!

But he went along with it, his experience blooming only when needed in a pinch situation.

"One of them... was Soren."

"So..ren?"

"And you used to be my wife. If I remember correctly, you have stopped your father going at me and just broke the ties after my outbreak."
