Chapter 108: Welcome our Master

While this batch of Heavenly Fire God Guards was showing off their divine power in the Flourishing Wood Land, the other two batches of Heavenly Fire God Guards were not so relaxed.

The natural disasters in the Gengjin Zhidi were metal monsters, and this area was also full of various metal minerals. Metal mountain peaks connected into mountain ranges, and even the various plants that grew there were things like bronze trees and iron trees.

When this batch of Heavenly Fire God Guards arrived here, someone named Wang Lingji had a sudden inspiration and decided to show some sense of ritual, loudly shouting out their origins.

However, the enemies they faced were not as easy as those in the Flourishing Wood Land.

These metal natural disasters had extremely strong resistance to Fire System spirit arts. Even after being burned by their balls of flames, they only turned into pools of metal liquid and did not die completely.

However, compared to the Gold System cultivators in this place, their destructive power against the natural disasters was still quite considerable.

For a time, hundreds of Heavenly Fire God Guards and nearly a thousand natural disasters were engaged in a fierce battle, and the Heavenly Fire God Guards still held the upper hand.

If things continued like this, the victory of the Heavenly Fire God Guards was only a matter of time, it was just that the process was much more difficult compared to those in the Flourishing Wood Land.

Gold System natural disasters could still be dealt with, but Earth System natural disasters were different.

They burrowed into the earth, merging with the entire earth. One Heavenly Fire God Guard after another bombarded them, but did not cause them any substantial damage.

Among cultivators of various attributes, Earth System cultivators were famous for their extraordinary defense. Their phantoms were like mountain peaks, and in the same realm, they could almost be immune to water and fire, and hard to hurt with blades and weapons!

If one wanted to defeat an Earth System Great Dao cultivator, one either had to have a higher realm than the opponent or master means to restrain them.

These Earth System natural disasters were even more terrifying; even Emperor Realm Fire System cultivators could not hurt them in the slightest.

Most of these Heavenly Fire God Guards were at the Peak King Realm. Under Han Yu's reshaping, although their combat power was comparable to the King Realm, they were helpless against these Earth System natural disasters.

If they left the earth and had a head-on battle, perhaps the Heavenly Fire God Guards would still have the power to fight.

But these guys merged into the earth and mountains, and from time to time, they would suddenly attack the Heavenly Fire God Guards in the air, making them impossible to guard against.

This kind of method was somewhat like the Fire System natural disasters in the Fire Refining Land, but those Fire System natural disasters did not merge with the earth as thoroughly, and Ji Yanling could still find their main bodies through divine sense scanning.

These Earth System natural disasters were different; they seemed to be a part of the earth itself.

Even if all the Heavenly Fire God Guards used divine sense to probe and sweep the area below carefully, they could not find where their main bodies were.

Or rather, the entire earth today was the main body of those Earth System natural disasters!

To kill them, one would have to tear apart the entire earth!

For these Heavenly Fire God Guards, moving mountains was easy, but shaking the earth was extremely difficult.

This made them feel very aggrieved and ashamed.

They had thought they could come here and kill in all directions, but who knew that the first battle would be such a setback.

However, aggrieved as they were, although this batch of Heavenly Fire God Guards could not kill the Earth System natural disasters below, it was not that easy for those Earth System natural disasters to kill them either.

Once an Earth System natural disaster showed its head, it would be attacked by concentrated fire. Even a bare mountain peak would be burned into a charred black mass by various Fire System spirit arts.

However, once these Earth System natural disasters returned to the earth, they could quickly heal their own injuries, while the recovery efficiency of the Heavenly Fire God Guards was not that high.

With this kind of attrition, the defeat of the Heavenly Fire God Guards was only a matter of time.

Fortunately, before splitting up, the group of Heavenly Fire God Guards had anticipated this situation. According to the mutual restraint between the five elements, they, as Fire System cultivators, would definitely find it easiest to deal with the Wood System.

Therefore, the number of Heavenly Fire God Guards in the Flourishing Wood Land was the smallest, while the number of Heavenly Fire God Guards in the Gengjin Zhidi and the Hou-tu Zhidi was greater.

Therefore, they could persist for more time, and even if they wanted to leave, there would be no danger.

But these Heavenly Fire God Guards all had their own pride. If they returned in such a state of defeat, wouldn't it be too shameful? In the future, when facing other Heavenly Fire God Guards, they would all have to lower their heads.

While the cultivators in the Gengjin Zhidi and the Hou-tu Zhidi were in a stalemate, other cultivators in these two areas were also observing the situation.

Although the Heavenly Fire God Guards were very dissatisfied with the situation before them, in the eyes of the cultivators in these two places, it was still incredibly shocking.

They had never thought that there would be cultivators who could suppress these natural disasters, and there were so many of these cultivators.

They called themselves the Heavenly Fire God Guards; could it be that they were God-favored ones of some god?

However, the number of God-favored ones in each generation was not large; how could hundreds of them pop up all at once?

This was too bizarre!

Gengjin Zhidi.

In a certain metal mountain range, a golden-robed youth activated a Saint Artifact and hid here with more than a dozen cultivators.

Thanks to the protection of this Saint Artifact, they were able to avoid the pursuit of natural disasters to the greatest extent.

Originally, everyone was prepared to just lie low like this, waiting for the King Realm battlefield to close, and they would be teleported away.

Perhaps during this period, the ancient relics they carried would give birth to some divine power, helping them become God-favored ones.

But just at this moment, they saw the Heavenly Fire God Guards in the sky.

Everyone immediately communicated through sound transmission, and for a time, there was a lot of discussion.

"What is the background of these guys? They can actually beat the natural disasters so miserably. Now all those natural disasters have gone to besiege them; they shouldn't have the energy to deal with us anymore, right?"

"They are called the Heavenly Fire God Guards; it seems to be a title for some kind of God-favored one, but this title has never been heard of?"

"Brother Ouyang, you are knowledgeable; have you ever heard of the name of the Heavenly Fire God?"

Many people looked at the golden-robed youth. This person's name was Ouyang Changhong, and he came from a rather prosperous Upper Prefecture, with more than a dozen Extreme Realm Battle Venerables sitting in his clan.

The remaining few people all came from Upper Prefectures adjacent to Ouyang Changhong. These Upper Prefectures all had teleportation arrays spanning hundreds of millions of miles connecting them, and their relationship with each other was very close.

Compared to them, those thousands of Lower Prefectures were completely remote and poor, and there was almost no interaction between the Upper Prefectures and the Lower Prefectures.

Even to prevent cultivators from the Lower Prefectures from coming to steal spiritual energy, the borders of the major Upper Prefectures were specially laid out with large arrays; without permission, cultivators from the Lower Prefectures simply could not enter the Upper Prefectures.

And it was different between the major Upper Prefectures; they often organized various cultivation conferences, communicating with each other, and simply did not need the participation of cultivators from the Lower Prefectures.

Among the cultivators of the Lower Prefectures, it was difficult to produce a few Emperors in one prefecture, and generally, only those with the posture of a Saint Body could hope to reach the Emperor Realm in their lifetime.

However, the Upper Prefectures had abundant spiritual energy; as long as one possessed a Treasure Body, one could easily reach the King Realm, a Spirit Body could easily break through to the Emperor Realm, and a Saint Body was completely the posture of a Venerable.

As for the Immortal Body prodigies, those were existences that could completely move toward the goal of becoming an Emperor.

Although these few geniuses all came from Upper Prefectures, they were headed by Ouyang Changhong. It was said that Ouyang Changhong's family came from a certain Saint Prefecture.

It was only because they hadn't produced an Emperor Realm for a long time that their Grotto-Heaven Blessed Land was forcibly occupied by other Emperor clans, thus falling to the Upper Prefecture.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though Ouyang Changhong's family had been separated from the Saint Prefecture for tens of thousands of years, they could still stand firm in the Upper Prefecture.

Emperor clans had a deeper understanding of gods. Since Ouyang Changhong came from a former Emperor clan, everyone asked him.

Ouyang Changhong frowned, looking at the group of Heavenly Fire God Guards above the long sky, pondering for a long time, but shook his head.

"To be honest, I have never seen the name of the Heavenly Fire God in any of the classics in my family. I have heard of a few Fire System True Gods, and their divine envoys had some contact with my clan in the past, but this Heavenly Fire God is unheard of. Could it be a new god just born in the Immortal God Realm?"

Ouyang Changhong answered everyone's doubts, as if he were talking to himself.

"However, even if I don't know what kind of god that Heavenly Fire God is, to be able to summon so many God-favored ones all at once, He absolutely cannot be an ordinary god!"

"After all, gods are not in this realm, and it is extremely difficult to influence this realm. They can only let divine envoys walk in the world on their behalf. God-favored ones are the first step for divine envoys. Generally, in each King Realm battlefield, the total number of God-favored ones that can be born is no more than a hundred, all belonging to major factions."

"And this Heavenly Fire God summoned over a hundred God-favored ones all at once; one can imagine His power. It's just a pity that we cultivate the Gold System Great Dao; otherwise, perhaps we could also become one of the Heavenly Fire God Guards!"

Ouyang Changhong's eyes were full of regret, and the other few cultivators also shook their heads and sighed.

Just as the few were regretting, the Heavenly Fire God Guards in the long sky seemed to sense something, their eyes lit up, and they all bowed and saluted toward the distant sky, everyone shouting in unison.
