Chapter 497 The Flame Emperor

On the second floor of the Emperor Library, Bruce, Graham and the three strange young men at the Sky Realm from the Ghost Sect had caught the remaining five pieces of grade-7 jade slips of martial arts, just one piece in each one's hands.

As expected, in the process of grabbing the jade slips of martial arts, several small-scale conflicts broke out between both sides.

However, as the duels carried on, it was evident that the sides were evenly matched.

Of the three masters from the Ghost Sect, the man with a scorpion tattoo etched on his head was able to fight against Bruce all by himself.

The two other young men, though being at the Sky Realm, were quite weak in terms of power.

However, with the sheer advantage of being more in number—a ratio of two to one—they could easily combat either Bruce or Graham.

At the end, a compromise was inevitably reached such that each of the five cultivators would grab one grade-7 jade slip of martial arts.

Even though the five men were already at the Sky Realm, there was a flicker of ecstasy in their eyes when they stared at the colorful jade slip in their hands. In the whole Violet Orchid Empire, grade-7 jade slips of martial arts were rare and precious. No wonder they were so excited.

Soon, however, the five men looked at the entrance to the third floor at the same time. Their eyes shined and greed obviously overwhelmed their sensibilities.

As the martial arts handbooks stored on the second floor were grade-7 jade slips of martial arts, it was highly probable that there would be grade-8 jade slips of martial arts on the third floor

Grade 8 martial arts skills were a thing of legend. You could say they were quite mythical because no one had ever seen any.

If they were able to find grade 8 martial arts skills, it would be incredible and frankly extraordinary.

The five men at the Sky Realm darted toward the entrance to the third floor at the same time, as if a puppeteer had decided it was the time to move.

They reached the room together. However, none of them was willing to work in a team.

ged man opened his eyes, it seemed as if the vital energy, the essence, and even the light of heaven and earth were gathered in his body, making him look pure and sacred. In the room, he was the all-powerful God.

Feeling the middle-aged man's great pressure enveloping the room, Austin felt unable to breathe.

This middle-aged man was definitely an extremely strong cultivator!

Austin realized that this man was much more powerful than himself.

"Young man, are you looking for treasures in the Mysterious Nether World?"

The middle-aged man's eyes slowly turned to Austin. His eyes were calm and his voice did not have a hint of surprise in it.

His desolate, loud voice echoed in the room like a peal of thunder across the sky.

"Yes. My name is Austin. I came into the Mysterious Nether World to look for buried treasure. Accidentally, I have intruded your space. I didn't intend to disturb you. I'm really sorry.

Master, may I know your name?"

Austin asked respectfully. His voice had a reverence in it. Austin knew he was nothing in compared to the man

"Ha ha! Even if I tell you my name, you would have definitely not heard of it.

A long time ago, in the Prime Martial World, people used to call me the Flame Emperor."

"The Flame Emperor?" Austin remarked.

Austin ruminated for a moment in silence. He had never heard of a person called the Flame Emperor.
