I seem to have seen the flame somewhere before!
 
Zhou Bao considered. All of a sudden, he seemed to be aware of something, moving his mind and a cyan flame appeared before him.
The flame gave off a faint cyan light in the water, and there were nine different colored streamers of light flashing.

Yes! Exactly like this one!
 
Zhou Bao seemed to find something, before touching the cyan flame with his fingers. The cyan flame flared up, and in an instant a black spirit enveloped the whole flame. Then, the cyan flame was transformed into a ball of quirky black flame.
The quirky black flame was like a black hole. As soon as it appeared, the surrounding water, as if drawn by some force, rushed into it.
Swoosh, Swoosh, Swoosh!
Something strange happened. Water could have put out a fire, but the water in the sea could not extinguish the black flame in any way. On the contrary, it was completely absorbed by the flame.

Green Spirit has said that the Tusita Fire was made by ancient necromancers with reference to the Nine Ancient Heavenly Fires. I’ve only used the Pure Purple Heavenly Fire. What kind of flame is it?


Zhou Bao could easily tell that the flame coming out of the Tusita Fire was similar in nature with the black flame flashing in the cloud of fire over his head.
Just as he was about to investigate further, the black flame suddenly flashed and dimmed. Then the unknown amount of water that it had just sucked in burst out.

Damn it, no!
Zhou Bao retreated repeatedly. Fortunately, he now had the property of the Primitive Dragon Chimera, which allowed him to move in the water as if he were on land, so he was not washed away by this sudden upwelling of water.

It is a replica, and it doesn’t last!
 
The reaction of black flame reminded Zhou Bao of the reaction of the Pure Purple Heavenly Fire. He instantly understood that the Tusita Fire was a replica of the Nine Ancient Heavenly Fires, and that it would not last long, even if it could exert its power.

In other words, the flame in the cloud of fire is also one of the Nine Ancient Heavenly Fires. It’s just that I don’t know what kind it is!
 
Although Green Spirit told him the Tusita Fire was a replica of the Nine Ancient Heavenly Fires, he just mentioned some of them, never mentioning what the other flames were and their uses.
It seemed that the black flame was one of them.

But while the two flames are very similar, there are some differences. It should be because it’s a replica, and the black flame in this cloud of fire is genuine. It is only a little bit, but it’s a little more obscure and primitive than the black fire which the Tusita Fire produced.



The replica is so overwhelming. The genuine one should be even more overwhelming. According to the situation just now, this kind of flame should have been able to devour everything. Perhaps the Divine Sense of the Primitive Dragon Chimera came from this black fire. Unfortunately, on the day of my comprehension, my state was too low to bring this wonderful flame out completely. If not, I’ll have an Ancient Heavenly Fire, and that’ll be awesome!


Gently closing the eyes, Zhou Bao felt the powerful devouring force contained in the continuous black flame in the cloud of fire, and fell into it.
Not knowing how long it had been, he suddenly felt something wrong, so he opened his eyes sharply. The present situation gave him a fright.
He was surrounded by many demons and Demonic Immortals, not knowing when it happened.
The water around him had also become erratic, creating swirling barriers around him. These vortexes, entirely made of water, formed a boundary like area in a radius of about 1,000 feet. Most bizarre of all, there were some spatial fluctuations in these strange boundary vortexes, from which a steady stream of sinister wind emerged. Zhou Bao could see clearly that these vortexes were like tiny knives, while the space was like a piece of paper, on which the tiny knives made countless tiny cuts. These tiny cuts were neither large nor deep. Because the space itself had a strong healing force, after a cut, it would automatically heal, and then be recut and healed, and so on and so on, which looked fairly creepy.
It was this creepy boundary that stopped the outside demons and Demonic Immortals with different expressions.
They all looked with wonder at Zhou Bao within the boundary. And they seemed relieved to see Zhou Bao open his eyes.

This Upper Immortal, please take back your Gang Qi. If it goes on like this, all living creatures within a hundred kilometers will die!

Finally, one of them stood out and walked to the boundary of Zhou Bao, with a bitter smile on his face.
Zhou Bao was puzzled for a while, then understood immediately. The constant cracking and healing of the space would create enough gravity to draw water within a hundred kilometers, as well as living creatures in the water. Tiny as these cuts were, they were like knives that tear apart these living creatures in the water. His boundary was small, but it affected a range of hundreds of kilometers, which had widened as time got off-balanced.
Zhou Bao smiled. Then he moved his mind slightly. The black cloud of fire over his head stopped surging, turning into black fire lights and entering his body. The boundary also disappeared.

I’m sorry. I suddenly comprehended something. Please forgive me for causing so much trouble!

The boundary was closed up, but the demons and Demonic Immortals around all looked at Zhou Bao with frightened eyes, none daring to approach.

No, no, it’s an honor of Mysterious Yin Mountain to have an Upper Immortal comprehending the Great Ways here!
The Demonic Immortal with the highest cultivation, the first to speak to Zhou Bao, held one fist in the other hand and forced a smile.
I’m Xie Chuan, the owner of the Mysterious Yin Mountain. Welcome, Upper Immortal. If you don’t mind, please come to my Water Mansion!

Xie Chuan was a Two-tribulation True Immortal, barely a Genuine Immortal at the Venerable Realm. Genuine Immortals at this rank could run amok in the Seven-deity Regions. But in the endless Sea Area, he was nothing more than a local moneybag, a bully for a hundred kilometers around.

No, thanks, I’m busy now!
Zhou Bao shook his head and refused.
By the way, how long have I been here?


Well, about 10 days!


10 days?
Zhou Bao slightly paused. 10 days was not short.
I can’t believe it’s been 10 days! My negligence! By the way, is Rolling Dragon King dead?

His words nearly caused Xie Chuan to fall to the ground.
What was
is Rolling Dragon King dead
? The Five-dragon Regions had been a bit of a mess recently. The Dragon Abyss Prison was in chaos, countless powerful Demonic Immortals having escaped prison. Rolling Dragon King’s rule of the sea was at stake. But anyway, he was still in power now, and the small Mysterious Yin Mountain still belonged to him. How could Xie Chuan answer such a direct question?
However, he was considerate, thinking about the big things that had happened recently and looking at Zhou Bao. Then he asked cautiously,
You, Upper Immortal, are you from there, too?


There? Where?
Zhou Bao was puzzled at first, then understood,
You mean the Dragon Abyss Prison?

Xie Chuan nodded and did not dare to answer.

Yeah, I came out of the Dragon Abyss Prison, so I asked you if Rolling Dragon King was dead!
Zhou Bao answered indifferently, but let out an air of ferocity duly. With a little release of the spirit of the Primordial Demonic Ape Zhuyan, the surrounding demons and Demonic Immortals were completely stunned.

No, no, His, His Majesty Rolling Dragon King is fine. But now the Sea Area is in complete disarray because of the fall of the Dragon Abyss Prison. My Mysterious Yin Mountain is only a small place, very remote, so no one came, and it isn’t greatly affected. But…


All right, I see!
Zhou Bao interrupted him and disappeared with a slight flash in the presence of this large group of demons.
It was good to know that the Sea Area was in a mess, because he could fish in troubled waters now. His first task was to find the whereabouts of Master Jin Hua and the Third Prince of Rolling Dragon King.
Having left Mysterious Yin Mountain, along the way, Zhou Bao detected changes. First, there were fewer demons on the sea floor. Before that, when he walked down the passage marked on the sea map, he would encounter one or two demon from time to time; but now, he had walked a few hundred kilometers, and did not find one. And occasionally he would meet a few, but they were all frightened and wounded, as if refugees were fleeing.
Of course, in addition to these demons who looked like refugees, there were some crazy demons and Demonic Immortals. They all escaped from the Dragon Abyss Prison. They had no physical problems, but had mental problems because they were locked up for too long. Their minds were full of crazy ideas. They only know how to kill. When they met those who were weaker than them, they would kill them; and when they met those who were stronger than them, they would be killed.
As Zhou Bao moved closer to the core of Rolling Dragon King’s region, he saw more and more fighting, from sporadic fighting to massive group fighting. He came to know what had happened in this Sea Area in the last 10 days. The many demons and Demonic Immortals that escaped from the Dragon Abyss Prison had been divided into several groups. One was those crazy people Zhou Bao had seen. They had been entirely abandoned and were only making trouble as outcasts. Another was revenging groups of different sizes, formed by complex and eager guys. They banded together to wreak havoc on Rolling Dragon King’s territory, and it was they who started the fighting that Zhou Bao saw. The other group was headed by the four Lords of Heaven. Most of the people in this group were Three-tribulation True Immortals or Four-tribulation True Immortals. This group was small, but extremely mighty. They were not making a fool of themselves on Rolling Dragon King’s territory, but were systematically dismantling his ruling structure. Two Lords of Heaven were blocking the Rolling Dragon King’s palace, while the other two Lords of Heaven with these Genuine Immortals at the Venerable Realm were divided into two-person teams, and began to sweep away his important halls and powerful assistants, such as Demonic Immortals like Master Bai Luo and Master Jin Hua. Although these Demonic Immortals were powerful, they seemed to have no better choice than to escape in the face of the terrible combat power of the teams that were led by Lords of Heaven and were composed of Genuine Immortals at Venerable Realm.
