Blazing inferno, like a savage beast, engulfed this stretch of heaven and earth, burning without restraint.
In the span of a single instant, the people from both clans were swallowed by the flames, refined, and incinerated to ashes — not even a single scrap remained.
"Terrifying. These horrifying seas of fire were indeed left by him!" Gazing at the churning, ever-shifting flames all around him,
Though he stood within the golden barrier and was completely unaffected by the inferno, just observing the sheer scale of it was enough to reveal how terrifying those flames truly were. And such flames reminded him of two seas of fire he had encountered in Qingzhou.
One was in the Wasteland Desert, and the other at the Plum Blossom Sect. Both had been extraordinarily fearsome — cultivators could hardly approach them, and they had been declared forbidden zones.
Back then, Chu Feng had suspected that if such horrifying seas of fire were man-made, could they possibly have been created by that terrifying man?
But it had only been a guess at the time. Today, however, he had confirmed it.
"What a waste — an absolute waste! So many Heaven Martial cultivators, so many Heaven Martial essences! Two of them were even at the Ninth Level of Heaven Martial, and they just died like that! At least leave the corpses intact so this queen could refine their essences!"
Yet at that moment,
At this, Chu Feng could only smile bitterly. The terrifying man had been obeying his commands so far, but his mind was still unclear, and there were many things Chu Feng could not yet control — such as the force with which the man struck.
Still, for the Chu Feng of right now, these minor gains and losses did not bother him much. He felt that as long as he could keep this man under his control, he would be perfectly content.
After all, the Dragon Daoist had said that this man might not be a Martial Lord — he might be a Martial King.
Just the thought of having a Martial King–level expert by his side as a fighter gave Chu Feng an unprecedented sense of security.
"These flames are far too terrifying and could harm innocent people. Can you recall them?" Chu Feng asked the man.
"The Skyburning Inferno originates from my body — it is born at my will and extinguished at my will. If the Young Master wishes it gone, then naturally I shall make it vanish."
The terrifying man's gaze flickered, and the surrounding flames surged toward his body like a rising tide. In the blink of an eye, every last wisp of the horrifying inferno had vanished without a trace.
Yet surveying the land, it had been left in complete devastation — the earth was pitch-black and radiating waves of scorching heat, and even the void above was warped and distorted.
Afterward, Chu Feng did not rush to bring the man back to the
Moreover, this man was still an unstable variable, and Chu Feng needed to further control him and understand him.
So Chu Feng began interrogating the man using special methods, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of him and learn the truth about his own origins.
But for some reason, the man's consciousness was truly hazy — as if his memories had been bound. He did not even know his own name or where he had come from, let alone who Chu Feng's father was or where Chu Feng hailed from.
All he could recall were fragmented slivers of memory, and when pieced together, they told of a single mission: to protect Chu Feng. If anything went wrong, he would face dire consequences.
