Chapter 1056: Embrace of the Blazing Sun! A Fire-Element Weapon!

It wasn't just Evelyn and her mother.

The moment Hearing Ling Shuang opened the secret realm space, the strongest experts across the entire Blue Star sensed it.

They scrambled to pilot their fighters toward the destination, afraid that one step slower would let another supreme expert beat them to it.

And at this moment, Xu Jingming had already brought Su Qingli and Hearing Ling Shuang into the secret realm space.

This secret realm space had belonged to Master Rui Tian, a supreme expert of the Second Civilization era.

Rui Tian possessed an SS-rank fire-element ability and was honored with the title Flame God-Lord.

"Speaking of which, that Lei Ding in the Ember World now is still Master Rui Tian's disciple.

Lei Ding has since broken through to become a supreme expert and inherited his teacher's title, also called the Flame God-Lord."

Eva introduced with a grin.

"Oh?"

Xu Jingming's sword-like brows rose. "Then perhaps we can find the Flame God-Lord's legacy somewhere in this secret realm space."

The three of them quickly swept through the entire secret realm.

The total area of the secret realm space was actually not that large—only about 120,000 square kilometers.

Roughly equivalent to one-third the area of Sakura Country.

Traces left by Molten Beasts could be seen everywhere.

The abyssal, massive claw marks, and the crimson flames that had burned for over two thousand years without going out.

Every single one proclaimed the terrifying might of the Molten Beasts.

"The only thing of value in the entire secret realm is this palace complex."

Xu Jingming, hovering in midair, looked down at the ground below.

Below were several dozen buildings, their architectural style leaning somewhat toward ancient palaces.

But they still incorporated some modern elements.

Most of the buildings had been reduced to ruins, though the few remaining structures still revealed their original exquisite craftsmanship.

"Eva, have your intelligent robots sweep the outer perimeter."

"Got it."

Eva split off a sub-body to control the Chi Mang Liu Jin guards along with humanoid robots, sending them flying toward the surrounding ruins.

Xu Jingming, meanwhile, brought Su Qingli and Hearing Ling Shuang down into the best-preserved building at the very center.

Whoosh—

Purple light flowed through his eyes as he directly activated his Purple Myrtle Pupils, scanning the entire building.

Some special items couldn't even be detected by spiritual force.

Only with the augmentation of the Purple Myrtle Pupils could all illusions be seen through.

"Sister Shuang and I will search the side halls." Su Qingli said softly.

"Alright."

Su Qingli and Hearing Ling Shuang split left and right, heading in different directions.

Xu Jingming, meanwhile, continued searching with his Purple Myrtle Pupils and soon found something.

A flash of black Lei Guang—and he vanished on the spot, reappearing in front of a room.

On the surface, this room looked no different from any other.

But through the Purple Myrtle Pupils, it was clearly visible that the entire room was forged from SSR-grade alloy!

The whole room was sealed tight, just like a bank vault!

"Lei Guan Demon-Slaying Spear!"

Shaa—

Xu Jingming's right hand clenched in empty air; a pitch-black spear wreathed in lightning appeared in his grip, then thrust out like a flood dragon!

Rumble rumble rumble—!!!

Lightning flashed, and the indestructible SSR-grade alloy was melted by the spear into a hole roughly one meter in diameter!

Of course, this was also because far too much time had passed.

The secret patterns reinforcing the alloy's defense had already failed, otherwise it wouldn't have been so easy to open.

"Just this SSR-grade alloy alone, brought back, would be no small haul."

Xu Jingming stepped into the room.

The moment he walked in, a wave of heat slammed into him.

Looking up, he saw a dark-purple bracelet floating at the very center of the room.

Faint purple flames swirled around the bracelet, radiating waves of scorching heat.

One must understand,

that for Xu Jingming's current physique to feel heat at all,

meant this flame's temperature had to be at least tens of thousands of degrees.

"This is... an elemental weapon?

After two thousand years it can still stir the fire elements in the air—this elemental weapon is at least high-grade."

Xu Jingming was about to step closer for a careful look when Eva poked her head out of the intelligent armguard, exclaiming joyfully:

"Embrace of the Blazing Sun! This is the perfect-grade elemental weapon Master Rui Tian used!"

"A perfect-grade elemental weapon?" Xu Jingming's brow furrowed.

Although the flame's temperature wasn't low, this was still a perfect-grade elemental weapon—its aura seemed somewhat lacking.

With a shift of spiritual force, Xu Jingming drew the bracelet directly into his hand.

Tens of thousands of degrees of scorching high-temperature flames had no effect on him whatsoever; instead, they let him see the dense cracks covering the bracelet.

"This Embrace of the Blazing Sun is already damaged—it can't reach Perfect grade, at most only Top-tier grade, but it's still a pretty good elemental weapon."

Once he gets back, this elemental weapon might still be repairable to Perfect grade.

The only pity was that Xu Jingming's side had no elemental fire-type ability users.

This elemental weapon couldn't be put to use either, so it could only be left in the warehouse gathering dust, or exchanged for something else.

Storing the Embrace of the Blazing Sun into his spatial ring, Xu Jingming continued to examine the things in the room.

Even a Perfect-grade elemental weapon was placed here, so the rest should all be good stuff too......

Outside, Zhou Yuanwu sat guarding the entrance to the teleportation passage.

The aura unique to a Supreme powerhouse faintly emanated, giving people a heavy, oppressive feeling like a towering mountain.

Suddenly, Zhou Yuanwu opened his eyes.

A fighter jet streaked in from the horizon, hovering in midair, and then a black man walked out from inside the jet.

This black man was tall and broad, wearing a black combat suit, with faint crimson qi and blood flowing around his body.

His name was Garka, a Supreme powerhouse from Heizhou.

Heizhou was not far from South America, so he was able to arrive this quickly.

Garka clearly hadn't expected Zhou Yuanwu to be here, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

The distance between Great Xia and South America was much greater than the distance between Heizhou and South America—how could he have arrived a step ahead of him?

Unless this secret realm space had originally been opened by him.

Sure enough, he saw Zhou Yuanwu look toward Garka and speak:

"Garka, this secret realm was opened by me, so you need not keep thinking about it."

"Your Great Xia truly has deep fortune—wherever you go, you can find secret realms.

But I'm not in a hurry anyway, so I'll stay and have a look first."

Garka grinned, still standing firm in midair without leaving.

It wasn't just him—one Supreme powerhouse had sensed the disturbance of the secret realm space opening.

Once other Supreme powerhouses arrived, the ownership of this secret realm space might yet change.

Zhou Yuanwu's brow furrowed slightly, but he didn't bother with him.

The current situation was already within his expectations.

As long as he held the line here, the others wouldn't dare make a move.

After a while, Evelyn, bringing Catherine with her, also arrived at the scene.

Like Garka, upon learning that this secret realm space had been opened by Zhou Yuanwu—

she likewise chose not to leave, but to wait on the spot.
