Mythical Cultivation

Unexpectedly, within the dozens of dazzling golden lights that streaked towards Huang Hao like meteors, something truly unique lay hidden. Resembling a precious orb stained with crimson hues, it appeared, from the outside, to be nothing more than an ordinary, perfectly round, and unremarkable bead. But in reality, it was Zhang Tianming's long-hidden ultimate killer move—a mysterious Flame Orb! It was said that this Flame Orb possessed terrifying power capable of severely inflicting heavy damage to even a Foundation Establishment cultivator, rivaling the legendary Heavenly Thunder Bead in power.

Fearing the immense strength displayed by Huang Hao, Zhang Tianming unhesitatingly unleashed his most powerful skill, pinning all his hopes on it. After all, if he could successfully eliminate Huang Hao, this formidable threat, wouldn't dealing with a mere Wu Ming be a piece of cake? Thus, a thrilling life-or-death struggle unfolded.

At this moment, the situation grew increasingly tense. Wu Ming's Heavenly Thunder Bead was advancing towards Zhang Tianming at an alarming speed, while Zhang Tianming's Flame Bead was also approaching Huang Hao. Both sides seemed fully prepared, ready to detonate their bomb-like secret treasures at the right moment.

Finally, when Tian Leizi was less than a hundred feet away from Zhang Tianming, Wu Ming's heart suddenly shook, and without hesitation, his mind moved. In an instant, a devastating energy suddenly erupted. Purple lightning exploded within a hundred feet, as if to tear the entire world into pieces.

At almost the same moment, Zhang Tianming decisively activated his mind within the Flame Pearl, triggering a similarly earth-shattering explosion. Flames shot up into the sky, smoke and dust filled the air, and the sky and earth changed color, transforming the area a hundred feet in radius into a searing red.

Instantly, the entire venue seemed engulfed in a crimson-purple glow. Red flames intertwined with purple lightning, like two ferocious dragons tumbling and roaring through the air. They tangled and collided, unleashing waves of astonishing energy that heated and distorted the surrounding air.

After successfully activating the Heavenly Thunder Son, Wu Ming retreated swiftly like a ghost, attempting to escape the perilous battlefield. However, once he finally escaped the fray, he was surprised to find that the situation wasn't what he had hoped for. His opponent hadn't been defeated as easily as he had anticipated, but had instead unleashed a mysterious treasure.

Looking at the area engulfed in blazing flames, precisely where Huang Hao stood, Wu Ming couldn't help but feel a surge of anxiety. At the same time, he dared not relax for even a moment, remaining fully alert for any enemy that might appear at any moment. He knew the situation was dire and that he needed to quickly recover his strength to face the upcoming challenge. Without hesitation, he swallowed a precious elixir, feeling the medicinal power dissolve within his body, continuously replenishing his depleted vital energy.

Meanwhile, Zhang Tianming initially ignored Wu Ming's talisman, devoting only a small portion of his spiritual awareness to defend against the attack. His primary focus remained on the crucial Flame Orb, hoping it would deliver the fatal blow. As the Orb gradually approached Huang Hao, Zhang Tianming felt a surge of elation. Just as he was about to activate his incantation to unleash the Orb's full power, a sudden, unprecedented sense of danger washed over him. While he couldn't pinpoint the source of this danger, his keen intuition, cultivated through years of practice, told him he couldn't afford to take it lightly.

Almost instinctively, Zhang Tianming quickly erected layers of shields in front of him, hoping to ward off the impending unknown threat. However, these seemingly indestructible shields now seemed so fragile. No matter how hard they resisted, they could not stop the erosion of the invisible force and eventually shattered.

Then, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded before his eyes—countless dazzling bolts of lightning swept down like a torrential downpour, overwhelming every inch of the surrounding space! In an instant, his previously indestructible shield seemed like paper, instantly dissipating into nothingness under the fierce bombardment of the lightning. Without even the slightest resistance, he was completely engulfed by the surging lightning.

However, the situation on Huang Hao's side stood in stark contrast. As the blazing flaming bead approached within a hundred feet of him, the experienced and perceptive Elder Ding immediately sensed something was amiss. Although he initially perceived no immediate threat, his powerful spiritual perception allowed him to clearly sense the potential danger lurking within the mysterious golden light. He reacted without hesitation: he quickly summoned his renowned magical weapon, the Netherworld Tower, and retreated dozens of feet to guard against any unforeseen circumstances.

Unfortunately, things went against his will. Even with Elder Ding's vigilance and decisive action, he couldn't escape this sudden disaster. As he retreated, a blazing flame, soaring into the sky, erupted before him! The fire was as fierce as a raging beast, spreading and spreading in all directions with its fangs and claws bared. Although Elder Ding had retreated several feet, this distance was of no use against such a terrifying blaze. In the blink of an eye, he was completely surrounded by the endless sea of ​​flames, trapped in an extremely dangerous situation.

However, the Netherworld Tower truly lived up to its reputation as a supreme magical weapon! Despite the surrounding flames raging like raging waves, it stood like an impenetrable fortress, firmly protecting Huang Hao's fragile body. Not even the smallest flame could penetrate this powerful defense and touch Huang Hao.

Elder Ding witnessed this scene, his eyes fixed. Without hesitation, he waved his hands, swiftly creating two thick ice walls in front of him. Then, like a ghost, he flashed through the blazing flames, attempting to escape this dangerous area. Unexpectedly, the omnipresent, dazzling, bright flames seemed to possess life, not only fiercely attacking his defenses but also firmly blocking his retreat.

"It turns out to be underground fire! No wonder it is so difficult to deal with." Old Ding finally recognized the true origin of these flames at this time, and couldn't help but say to Huang Hao in his heart.

"Mr. Ding, why on earth can he make fire come out of this place?" Huang Hao asked with a confused look on his face.
