A salty breeze blew past and a salty smell swept over them all. There was an endless ocean as far as the eye could see. The ocean waves churned over tens of thousands of kilometers. There was no end in sight. They seemed to be in the middle of the ocean, with water all around them.
Flying high in the sky, one could occasionally see reefs and small islands. There were seabirds flying across the sky above and there were schools of fish leaping in the waters below.
It was no different from an ordinary ocean.
The human ancient martial art practitioners appeared one after another above the ocean. Mo Wen estimated that the human ancient martial art practitioners numbered around 230 people.
Clearly, quite a number of people had died in the second stage.


He sighed. In the beginning, more than three hundred human ancient martial art practitioners had entered the Fighting Spirit Tower. Right now, before they even reached the end, they had already lost a third of them. More than a hundred people had already died.
In the sky above, a golden light shone. The beam of golden light was initially very far away, like a brilliant sun. As time passed, the golden light got closer and closer, its halo also growing bigger and bigger. A silhouette was situated at the center of the golden light, barely visible.

What is that? It is so beautiful.


Could it be the legendary Pegasus?


Such a noble and holy horse. It would be great if I could make it my pet.

Although the golden light was blinding, many ancient martial art practitioners who had pretty good eyesight could make out the barely visible silhouette in the light circle. Discussions immediately arose. They temporarily forgot that they were about to face the third stage challenge. The creature in the light circle was too beautiful. Some women had eyes sparkling with little stars. They couldn’t wait to immediately hug the creature. Even the men felt stunned by its beauty, let alone the women. It was clearly a demonic beast, but it gave off an unparalleled sense of beauty.

The Dragon Horse!

Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. He raised his head and looked at the golden light. In the mass of light, there was a horse that was as immaculate as jade. The horse had a healthy and vigorous figure and was pure white without any trace of color. It had a pair of pure white feathered wings on its back that measured more than ten meters when outstretched. On its forehead grew a single horn that was white jade with a golden spiral texture on it. Its four hooves stirred up winds and flashed with golden light, as though it was stepping on four brilliant golden suns.
The horse emanated a holy divine aura from its entire body, as though it was the purest creature in the world.

That is the legendary Dragon Horse?



A black light flashed and Nangong Mingzhu appeared beside Mo Wen. She looked at the mass of light in the sky, a serious look flickering in her eyes. Although the Dragon Horse was beautiful, it was definitely the most dangerous existence among the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings.
Dragon Horses were rather rare. They were different from a demonic beast such as the Flaming Dragon Colt. A Dragon Horse usually had a rather pure dragon clan bloodline. Even if it wasn’t a pureblood Dragon Horse, it would not be too weak. It was not something that demonic beasts such as the Flaming Dragon Colt and the Inferno Dragon Colt could compare with.
In the sky above, without sound or presence, two other blinding lights appeared. One was colorful and the other was as red as fire.
When the two masses of light got closer, everyone could see that behind the masses of light were a colorful peacock and a thousand meter long ferocious dragon. Their appearance was different from the Dragon Horse’s holy silence. Once the two demonic beasts appeared, they emanated an unparalleled terrifying aura. An astonishing pressure descended from the sky. The surface of the ocean bizarrely descended a hundred meters. No matter how fiercely the ocean waves surged, they did not affect the area.
The expressions of the human ancient martial art practitioners frantically changed, their limbs turning ice cold. From the pressure, many people realized that they could see no hope in the road ahead.

So frightening. What realm are they at? They couldn’t be members of the legendary Demon Clan, could they?


They most likely are many times stronger than the Giant Crocodile Beast King. They are practically too terrifying. How can we possibly defeat such creatures?


Can we win?

Once the Peacock Beast King and Dragon Beast King appeared, the expressions of everyone turned stiff and they felt chills down their spines. The terrifying aura was as though a heavenly force had descended. Some ancient martial art practitioners who had lower cultivation actually lost the will to resist.
The human Martial Arts Grandmasters that had battled with the Peacock Beast King and the Dragon Beast King had ugly expressions. The two mythical beasts that had just appeared were more than a hundred times more powerful. The warriors felt that if they went against these two mythical beasts now, they would be killed instantly.


Once the Peacock Beast King and the Dragon Beast King appeared, they slowly moved toward the Dragon Horse. However, they did not dare get too close to the Dragon Horse, appearing to respect it.

There is no need to be nervous. If we can make it through, we will do so. If not, we will die. Until the end, no one knows what the result will be,
Mo Wen said plainly. Up until now, he had accepted it. They had done all that they could. Whether or not they would be alive in the end was all up to the will of Heaven.
He could also sense the power of the Peacock Beast King and the Dragon Beast King. They definitely were not existences that the Giant Crocodile Beast King could compare with. In a one-on-one, with his current cultivation, it was difficult to say whether Mo Wen could kill the two mythical beasts. Moreover, the most powerful of them was not the Peacock Beast King or the Dragon Beast King, but the mysterious Dragon Horse.
Mo Wen’s words put all the human ancient martial art practitioners slightly at ease. Subconsciously, Mo Wen had risen to the status where he could impact every ancient martial art practitioner here. He had the prestige of a leader.
All the human ancient martial art practitioners grasped the weapons in their hands tightly. No matter what the result was, until the last moment, they couldn’t give up. Otherwise, there would truly be no hope.
Luckily, in this third stage, there seemed to be only the three Fire Domain’s Beast Kings around. There were no other demonic beasts interfering. Otherwise, the situation would be even worse.
The golden light slowly descended, and the silhouette of the Dragon Horse finally became clear. Compared to the Giant Crocodile Beast King and the Dragon Beast King, this Dragon Horse was not large. It could be described as tiny. It did not have a terrifying pressure emanating from it, and there seemed to be a misperception that made people unable to sense a threat from it.
The white light and the golden light shimmered like crystals. The light waves emanated an impeccable, divine aura.
Many ancient martial art practitioners knew that this Dragon Horse was their greatest enemy, but when they gazed upon the beautiful creature, it was difficult for any animosity to well up inside of them.

If you managed to appear in the third stage, our four companions must have died at your hands.



The Dragon Horse spread its holy feathered wings. Its voice was smooth and round and delicate, like beads falling on a jade plate. There was a hint of tactfulness in her delicate voice.

If it wasn’t the rule of the Tower Spirit, I wouldn’t want to fight you to the death.
The Dragon Horse sighed slightly. There was a hint of very pure melancholy in her voice. Some weak-willed ancient martial art practitioners’ emotions were actually affected by her. Their hearts welled up with sorrow and their noses tingled, tears almost flowing out.
Mo Wen’s expression turned ugly. Every single move of the Dragon Horse impacted the human ancient martial art practitioners. This influence was not deliberate, yet it was more terrifying than her intentionally performing any tricks. This kind of natural influence of the soul was hard to guard against, even for Mo Wen.

Humph. Between you and us, there is only life or death. If we don’t live, we die. There is nothing more to be said. Even the ants yearn to live. Could it be that you would let us go just because you take pity on us?

Nangong Mingzhu coldly snorted. There was a mysterious, magical power in her voice, instantly pulling those people who had been infected by the Dragon Horse’s emotion back to reality. Some ancient martial art practitioners came back to their senses and one by one, also coldly snorted. Their emotions had actually been affected by just one sentence. It was practically too terrifying. During a battle, if they lost control over their emotions because of a line from their opponents, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Humph, if not life then death? Such big talk. Did you all think that against the Lord Dragon Horse, you had any hope of victory? Stop dreaming,
the Dragon Beast King said as it laughed coldly, its thousand meter long figure crossing the sky. It looked at the human ancient martial art practitioners below, its eyes full of disdain. So what if they had numbers? Aside from a few, the rest were but trifles. It could kill a few with just a slap.

Yes. In order for the demonic beasts to live, there is only life or death between us.

The Peacock Beast King looked at all the human ancient martial art practitioners. An expression of hatred flashed in its eyes. If it wasn’t for this group of greedy humans, they would not have ended up like this. How would the Giant Crocodile Beast King and the others have died? Everything had its consequences. The humans had to bear the consequences of their own sins.

If you all did not intend to obtain the spiritual fire, we wouldn’t have ended up like this,
the Dragon Horse said softly. Her pupils, as clear as amber, had a glint of helplessness. The Fire Domain had been peaceful for millennia, but because this group of humans had come, it had completely changed. Ultimately, the responsibility for causing all this lay with the group of humans.

Those who are not of my kind will surely have a different thought. This kind of thing has no right or wrong. The spiritual fire is a divine item in both heaven and earth. Could it be that it is right for you, Fire Domain’s Beast Kings, to hold on to the spiritual fire? Yet when we snatch it, it is our fault?



Chu Yuan coldly snorted. He did not think that the human warriors were responsible for these incidents. Everyone could fight for the treasure.

The spiritual fire is here. If you want to snatch it, come.

The Dragon Horse didn’t say anything more. A golden light suddenly shone out from her body. The next moment, a golden flame the size of a fist appeared. As soon as the flame appeared, all the spiritual energy in the heavens and the earth reverberated. A formless spiritual aura was emanated, covering an area of a hundred meters.
In an instant, everyone’s gazes were attracted by the golden flame, which was only the size of a fist.

The spiritual fire! It radiates with spiritual aura, as expected of the legendary spiritual fire!


I have finally seen the spiritual fire. Even if we fail in the end, I will not now be so disappointed…sigh.


As long as we obtain the spiritual fire, there is a fifty percent chance of becoming immortal. Life has an end, but the Way of Immortals is unlimited. Even if we need to risk our lives, we must try to get such a divine item.

…
As soon as the spiritual fire appeared, all human ancient martial art practitioners’ eyes were filled with greed. They could not wait to swallow the spiritual fire. It was the spiritual fire, a divine item in both heaven and earth. If they could obtain the spiritual fire, they had a good chance of being inducted into the Way of Immortals. Even if they could not be inducted into the Way of Immortals in the end, their cultivations would increase by a few realms through the baptism of the dense spiritual energy. Even their lifespans would be extended by a hundred years.
Nearly everyone wanted to get such an item.

You all say that the spiritual fire is a divine item and is up for the taking by anyone. But you don’t know that the spiritual fire also has its own spirituality. It has the right to choose its own dwelling. It does not like you at all.

The spiritual fire flew out from the body of the Dragon Horse and rubbed itself affectionately on the Dragon Horse’s face. The horse and the fire looked surprisingly in harmony.
