Chapter 186: Going Crazy Once

"Whether that gate appears in the Upper Realm or manifests in a Small World, it is always hidden within chaos," the creature with Kunpeng wings said.

Mengchen, Shi Hao, Xiaohuang, the Tianhu girl, and the others heard this and looked over in astonishment, sighing in their hearts that the insight of a great power was truly extraordinary.

Yet the scene before their eyes also left their inner hearts incomparably shocked.

Then, the creature with Kunpeng wings had shimmering eyes and said, "It is too dangerous inside; I will not go in to intrude. I still have important matters, so I will only enter the Chaos World to absorb the vital energy I need, and then I will go to the Upper Realm to turn everything upside down."

"I intend to go take a look," the Small Tower said, looking at Shi Hao.

"You and Liu Shen are both leaving, so what about me?" Shi Hao asked.

The Small Tower responded indifferently, "You are currently far too weak to enter the Chaos World; just stay outside with them and seek some opportunities!"

As it spoke, it took action, directly teleporting Shi Hao, Mengchen, and the others away, an unknown number of tens of thousands of miles from this place, and then the Chaos World shook violently with a boom.

The Vajra Pestle was leaving! This left Mengchen feeling suddenly hollow inside. From their previous conversation, he could tell that the inside of that gate was extremely dangerous. For a moment, his heart was filled with worry, hoping that it could return to his side soon.

"Do not worry, I will be fine. You are the only successor of my Ancient Monk Lineage, and I still need to protect your rise. Go and diligently explore for opportunities! Wait for my return." Although the Vajra Pestle had vanished, its voice reached Mengchen just as his heart was filled with worry.

"Alright! Gangzi, it is a promise; I will wait for you to return!" Mengchen shouted in his heart, but unfortunately, there was no further response.

In the deepest part of the Primordial Treasure Realm, chaos surged and laws intertwined; the place was dense with Great Dao symbols, mysterious and unfathomable.

"Brother Shi Hao, although the backing behind you and me is gone now, I believe that if we join forces, no one in this Lower Realm will be able to stop us." Afterward, Mengchen looked at Shi Hao, reached out his hand, and said.

It could be seen that with the departure of Liu Shen and the Small Tower, Shi Hao also had a look of loss, but as Mengchen's words reached his ears, he became invigorated. He also reached out his hand to shake it and said, "Good! Brother Mengchen! Let us work together and sweep all opportunities into our possession."

"Haha..., good!" The two laughed in unison.

At this moment, Yuechan, the Tianhu girl, Xiaohuang, Heizi, and Xiyao, who were standing nearby, had not yet recovered from the shock caused by Liu Shen, the Small Tower, the Vajra Pestle, and the creature with Kunpeng wings. Seeing the two of them like this now, another wave of astonishment rose in their hearts.

They could feel that even if these two were taken separately, their combat power was peerless; now that they were of one mind, they would be a nightmare for countless people.

Suddenly, a Golden Crow flew across the sky above their heads. This was a creature from this treasure realm, as brilliant as a great sun, radiating a terrifying pressure.

The Golden Crow is one of the most powerful species in heaven and earth; it is rumored that the sun in the sky is an ancient, sleeping Golden Crow.

Clearly, the one that had just flown past had not yet reached that legendary height.

Even so, after sensing it, they discovered that it possessed the aura of a Venerable. Its entire body was golden, its wings emitted piercing beams of light, and it was a Venerable-level Golden Crow.

This was the Primordial Treasure Realm, and Mengchen, Shi Hao, and the others, having just arrived, did not want to invite extra trouble, so they restrained their auras and watched it fly into the distance in a low-profile manner, leaving a golden rainbow in the void.

"This Primordial Treasure Realm is not ordinary; to think there are still powerful Venerables here," the Tianhu girl said in surprise.

She thought that since the great calamity of the Bayu had just passed, except for some sects with deep foundations, all the Venerables within the Bayu should have been captured by the giants of the Upper Realm, yet here, there were still Venerables.

"The Primordial Treasure Realm has been sealed until now. Now that it has emerged, it is reasonable for there to be powerful creatures," Mengchen said. Previously, the Primordial Treasure Realm was closed, and after it opened, the Upper Realm great powers who entered were beaten back by Liu Shen, the Vajra Pestle, and others, so this place had not been scoured by the great powers.

"Hum!"

Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from afar, the void trembled, and then he felt an aura like a surging flood.

"What is that?"

Mengchen, Shi Hao, and the others all felt their hearts jolt.

They all stole a glance in unison, only to see a vast expanse in the distance, with golden flames filling the sky. Even from far away, the scorching heat rushed toward them, as if a massive amount of magma were erupting, threatening to wither heaven and earth.

Soon, they all felt a chill in their hearts and their scalps go numb; they turned into shadows and vanished from there, no longer lingering.

Because that was actually a dense mass of creatures, covering the sky and earth, numbering at least one hundred thousand. All of them were glowing like torches, and the momentum was extremely grand.

Those were Fire Crows, a very powerful species possessing the bloodline of the Golden Crow. So many of them swarmed together to form a torrent, sweeping across the high sky. Most of these creatures were black, spitting out separation flames, while some were pale gold, with brilliant wings, flying across the sky and burning with divine radiance.

Regardless of whether the individuals were strong, just having so many together was enough to crush everything. More than one hundred thousand Fire Crows rampaging was simply horrifying.

After avoiding them, they traveled through the mountain forests at high speed, fleeing this area; even if they were powerful, they did not want to provoke such a massive number of creatures.

"There are too many of these Fire Crows. It is impossible for us to reach their ancestral land; let us retreat!"

"This is the Primordial Treasure Realm, a place of great opportunity. If one wants opportunities, how can there be no risk? I think we should give it a try."

They arrived in front of a valley and heard some people whispering. Those few people were panting, clearly having also escaped from the Fire Crow swarm.

"So it was them. I did not expect them to have entered the Primordial Treasure Realm as well," Shi Hao whispered as he looked at those people.

Mengchen and the others looked over in confusion, and subsequently learned from Shi Hao that those people were geniuses from the Upper Realm whom Shi Hao had met when he came to Mount Immortal.

"So they were the ones who angered the Fire Crows, which led to the scene from earlier," Heizi frowned slightly and said.

Clearly, he was a bit displeased. To think that he, a dignified Ten Fiend Descendant, actually had to detour around a group of Fire Crows; if this got out, it would not sound very good! Mengchen and Shi Hao did not intend to get involved; they quietly flashed away with Heizi and the others, leaving this place without making contact with those Upper Realm geniuses.

They crossed more than a thousand miles, and once again heard the sound of flapping wings. In the distance, flames were rolling; this time the number of fire birds was no less than the last time. The flames were surging violently, and the firmament was distorted.

They decided to move again, not wanting to be drawn into meaningless trouble before seeing any great opportunities.

However, the direction they took this time happened to be the habitat of the Fire Crow Clan. After traveling several hundred miles, they saw a city where many creatures with human bodies and bird heads were moving about.

Nearby, there were even more volcanic craters, with magma bubbling and a scorching heat.

Although this place was unbearably hot, it emitted a very rich spiritual energy, which made one feel both feverish and relaxed, with pores opening—painful yet happy.

"Earth Fire Liquid!" Xiaohuang said in surprise.

Near this giant city, the bubbling liquid was not all magma; several streams formed spring pools, emitting powerful essence energy—it was actually Earth Fire Liquid.

This is a type of fire-attribute spiritual liquid, generally contained within magma and very difficult to extract. Unexpectedly, there was quite a lot here, gathered into several Lingchi.

There were exactly eight of them, not too many and not too few. Although they were not top-tier Divine Liquid, there was a large quantity, and one of them had almost become a small crimson lake.

"Master, this item has strong fire-attribute essence energy and is of great use to me." Xiaohuang looked at Mengchen with a somewhat pained expression in her eyes.

Clearly, she really did not want to give up, but she was also afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

"Master!?" Hearing this form of address, Shi Hao looked at Mengchen with great surprise, then looked at Xiaohuang. To take a Zhenhuang as a disciple, he was truly Brother Mengchen! At the same time, he thought about how Mengchen not only had a Zhenhuang disciple by his side but also a Jiuyou Ao companion, and he compared them in his heart. He thought of his own heaven-defying martial prowess, yet he only had an unreliable stone by his side; it was truly hard to describe! Subsequently, Shi Hao suddenly felt an itch on his chest, his gaze became fiery, and he looked at the Earth Fire Liquid, seemingly determined to get it: "I also have a feeling that this Earth Fire Liquid might be able to help my Supreme Bone achieve Nirvana."

"Fine! Then I will go crazy with you two. Although the Fire Crows and Golden Crows here are no less than a million, they can be blocked for a short time. Brother Shi Hao, Xiaohuang, I will guard you; you can go ahead. At worst, we will be hunted across the world after we are done." Mengchen looked at Xiaohuang and Shi Hao, an excited emotion surging in his heart.

Xiaohuang smiled brightly. Originally, she was afraid of bringing great disaster to her master, but hearing Mengchen's support now undoubtedly relieved the worry in her heart.

"Brother Mengchen! You are truly a good brother! Fine! At worst, we shall have a bloody battle later." Shi Hao's gaze was like a torch, and his smile was intense.

Of course, it would be best not to alert them, so they began to observe carefully and discovered that the Fire Crow Clan did not guard the Earth Fire Liquid very strictly because the spiritual liquid here was very abundant.

At the city gate, some fire birds were very powerful; most wore black armor, and a few wore golden armor, patrolling.

There were many powerful auras in the city; kings were moving about, and there were even fluctuations of Venerables, releasing divine power—powerful and astonishing, making one deeply wary.

Nowadays, Mengchen can even slay gods, so how could he possibly regard a Venerable with concern; the only thing he fears is their sheer, massive numbers.

After one day passed, they had figured out the patrol patterns of those fire birds, so they took advantage of the gap during the shift change to sneak up.

They aimed for one of the eight Lingchi, which were filled with crimson Earth Domain core fluid, its essence extremely rich and dense.
