Swallowing the Stars: The Puzzle of Everything!

Chapter 66, ranked 3rd in the army, Heavenly Blade Carlo.

Swish, swish, swish...

The five realm lords attacked Perseus simultaneously.

Sensing danger, he kicked one of the two, Candila and another realm lord from the same branch, flying away. In his hand, he held a long ribbon, which he pulled and released before rolling it outwards.

The Hun Tian Ling spun rapidly as Perseus turned around.

Red light and steam intertwined, and a violent impact spread indiscriminately in all directions. Far away, he heard Candira shout.

"Perseus, don't get entangled with them!"

"Let's go first, we'll enter the Pool of Blazing Fire..."

"Are you able to leave?"

With a loud shout, four attacks, guided by one of them, flew towards Perseus simultaneously.

A flash of anger immediately crossed the latter's eyes.

"The laws of Heaven and Earth apply!"

His suddenly taller figure recoiled again in the next moment, but his long spear, like a flying snake spitting its tongue, quickly pointed at one of the realm lords.

Purple, red, and blue flames intertwined.

As the two energies collided, Perseus accelerated out of the dust and swept his arm horizontally, whipping a long ribbon like a whip. The two energies overlapped, and the power of this attack surged.

"Bang—"

The mid-level realm lord fell helplessly, crashing into the ground and creating a large crater.

Perseus fired continuously, each strike delivered with perfect force. He had never experienced a weapon as handy as the spear.

Now's the time to deal with these guys!

Fire Dance Under the Sun!!!

A golden storm surged into the sky, and the terrifying tornado moved rapidly, blasting the remaining four realm lords away with a single blow.

"Let's go!"

Perseus led the way, followed closely by Candira and another realm lord of the Crimson lineage.

However, just as they were about to rush into the passage...

"Hahahaha, this road is blocked—"

A long sword slashed down, its gleaming blade trailing a sharp arc of light. Its terrifying power shook the void, causing even Candira and the other two to shrink their pupils involuntarily.

"These are members of the Ten Armies of my Fire Cloud Clan!"

Tenth Army?

"These are the ten realm lords who were born into major branches and gained the recognition of the fundamental laws. This is Tian Dao Carlo, who ranks third."

Perseus didn't care whether it was Carlo or Song Que.

All he knew was that the other party wanted to stop him from comprehending the Heavenly Flame Spirit Tablet.

"You brat, take this!"

The blade and the spear shaft clashed violently, the intense vibrations nearly causing the Flame Spear to slip from his hand. In contrast, Carlo, who was fighting Perseus, was also filled with surprise.

"Good tactic."

He simply bypassed the troublesome Perseus, and when he encountered Candira and the other realm lord behind him, he didn't make a move, only his eyes flickered a few times.

"You can go now."

"However, if you encounter them in the Ninefold Flame Stream, I hope you won't be surprised. After all, I'm determined to obtain all the Fire Crystal Cores."

Thanks.

Candira thanked the other person and rushed inside. Before leaving, Perseus, still somewhat unwilling to give up, raised an eyebrow at him.

"Take it easy!"

"Hahaha, if you come in too slowly, no matter how strong your combat power is, the stuff won't be yours."

The three voices transformed into a gentle breeze and vanished quickly.

Carlo, however, did not rush into the Pool of Flowing Fire. Instead, he blocked the entrance, displaying a kind of "one man can hold the pass against ten thousand" spirit.

"Get out of here—"

"So what if there are ten armies? Those who obstruct me will die!"

With a burst of energy, Carlo finally went completely mad, swinging his long mace at lightning speed, crashing into the allied realm lords of his own race.

Of course, he wasn't the only one.

Faced with the sole legacy, the relatively stronger group of people became the goalkeepers of the Fiery Pool. With layers of defense, very few people could score a goal.

……

Meanwhile, at another location in the teleportation channel.

"Is this the Pool of Flowing Fire?"

Perseus stood on the surface of a rock where magma was partially exposed, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings.

Endless flames hovered in mid-air, with a strange fire-breathing vent at intervals. At this moment, these vents were spewing flames outward. In order to improve his talent and enhance the power of the Chaotic Heavenly Fire, Perseus slightly reached out and aimed at these flames.

Suddenly, an unexpected suction force erupted in his palm.

"Sizzle sizzle sizzle..."

The wisps of flame transformed into a stream of heat, flowing into the primordial core to replenish the body's energy reserves. As golden light surged, the Chaotic Heavenly Flame also began to release its dazzling brilliance.

Its substance is purple, and its color is pure gold.

Upon arriving at the first layer of the Flame Stream, Perseus couldn't help but show a relieved expression. Looking at the interconnected caves, he quickly realized that this fiery, eroding environment was the most likely place for fire-attribute treasures to be born.

"We still have time, how about we kill some more?"

The Fire God Festival is clearly not something that can be held whenever one wants.

It is held once every million years, and in the meantime, in order to avoid affecting the environment of this secret realm, no one is allowed to enter.

However, in order to find the correct anchor point in this space...

Suddenly, Perseus's ears twitched.

He dashed out in a flash, casually thrusting his spear towards a swirling vortex of lava. What seemed like a fierce strike was actually caught in the next moment by a rough and powerful hand.

"Bang!!!"

A splash of golden-red lava erupted.

Perseus looked up at the monster, which was over ten meters tall and had a ferocious expression. He secretly curled his lips and rolled up the Hun Tian Ling beside him.

The fire spirit, which had initially appeared to be alive, suddenly revealed its true nature.

Its pair of thick legs transformed into deer hooves, then quickly faded away, forming a ghost-like structure.

Upon confirming that the creature was merely a fire-based life form, Perseus's murderous intent rose. With a swift and decisive thrust, he instantly shattered the fire spirit's heart.

Flames danced across the sky, like the flowing light of a summer night.

As most of the energy was absorbed by the Chaotic Heavenly Fire, finally, a crystal core with 16 facets appeared in his hand.

"This is the Fire Crystal Core?"

Sensing the abundant energy within the crystal core, Perseus, wanting to mass-produce this treasure, secretly kept the sample.

After putting away the Fire Crystal Core, he looked around in confusion.

"We were in a passageway when we came in..."

"But it's alright!"

"The connection with the Soul-Binding Wood Silk is still there. Since they haven't perished, we should reunite sooner rather than later to avoid being picked off one by one. Although those two are a bit weak, they are still an asset."

With that in mind, Perseus quickly decided to go find Candira first, following the directions indicated in his mind.

"He should be here."

The lava was broken open, and Perseus traversed the first layer of space filled with flames. Before he could find his opponent, he encountered a realm lord who had been unexpectedly left alone.

Only a third-level Realm Lord?!

"What...what are you planning to do...get away—"

The heavy shot flew straight towards the middle-aged man's head. Upon seeing this, the man's pupils contracted, and he was just about to dodge the attack.

A Dreamlike Ideal Land: The Beauty's Respect!

One by one, graceful figures draped in light veils flew out, and unsurprisingly, despite the hazy memory, the middle-aged man's body turned an unnatural blush.

He was like a giant insect, constantly pupating, trying to do something.

Before the man could continue his unfinished work, a soul-binding wooden thread swiftly fell, ignoring all obstacles and penetrating deep into the body and soul to complete a new round of manipulation.
