Chapter 351: 12-ring High Tower Ancient Fire God Tree Tribe!

The spell syllables flowed smoothly through the ecological magic net.

Having already advanced to four-star rank, the 【Steam Lightfeather Blade】, which was pushing toward the five-star forbidden spell threshold, activated quickly.

"Huu..."

As the steam source energy gently surged, it quickly condensed into a golden steam light blade, appearing behind Ta Ke.

Advancing the wizard ability's rank transformation within his own ecology.

It is quite a troublesome matter.

Not only must the understanding strength of the "Wizard Sequence" itself be sufficiently high.

Also need one's own steam-wizard ecology to be strong enough to support one's own tinkering.

Also need the strong ecology of the external steam high-tower circulation to provide support.

Most crucially, one must have a profound understanding of the ability itself.

Only then can one promote the advancement of the wizard ability.

Because the 【Steam Lightfeather Blade】 itself is a relatively rare ability.

Ta Ke has not spared effort in this regard.

While flying, seeking a suitable entry point.

Ta Ke, while opening his system, began to add points to his wizard ability.

Nowadays, Ta Ke has encountered many supernatural beings outside, and even the number of Chao Shen Da Shi he has contacted is not small.

But the number of wizards Ta Ke has contacted who master forbidden spells is truly not many.

Like the two forbidden spells mastered by Pu Te·Ya Bo, which are rare kinds, after all he himself is a rather special existence.

Ordinary cultivating wizards find it difficult to raise the level of forbidden spells to a higher tier.

Ta Ke himself finds it quite arduous to try to advance the level of forbidden spells, let alone other supernatural beings.

False genius, after a hundred years of bitter training, achieves great accomplishment in forbidden spells and enters the hall.

True genius, system, give me a boost!

Soon!

Ta Ke's newly acquired forbidden spell and his previous spacetime wormhole have both been raised by Ta Ke to the level of 65.

It is not that Ta Ke's long-range ability experience is insufficient.

Rather, Ta Ke has many places where he needs to add points.

Divine abilities, abilities, and forbidden spells can all be raised to level 79.

Keep some points in reserve for unexpected needs.

Moreover, a forbidden spell level of 65 is already quite extravagant.

When Ta Ke previously chatted with senior Luo Mo Si.

Senior Luo Mo Si's level is already over 150, but the highest level of the few forbidden spells he cultivates is only over 90.

Moreover, several forbidden spells are around level 60, 70-plus.

Ta Ke is level 72, with forbidden spell levels over 60, over 70, which is already quite extravagant.

Bastion Crystal Wall Armor (five-star): level 65.

Spacetime Wormhole: level 65.

After a moment of inspection, Ta Ke, while adapting to the Crystal Wall Armor, meanwhile examined this huge Four-tusk Elephant Realm Ship, seeking a suitable entry point on the cannon bastion.

Four-tusk Elephant Realm Ship.

It is a three-dimensional internal framework.

From top to bottom, there are five layers in total, very complex.

A cabin is a divided, independent small world.

Flying outside the hull walls of the Four-tusk Elephant Realm Ship's cabin, Ta Ke could feel the characteristics of many iron-coupling source walls.

Ta Ke, who possesses a spacetime wormhole, intends to slowly explore these places while leaving coordinates.

After all, Ta Ke can use the wormhole to directly cross these bastion layers.

Although slower, it wins in safety.

Drifting outside, safety is undoubtedly the top priority.

Randomly running using the spacetime wormhole, if one ends up in some unsuitable spot, it will only bring trouble to oneself.

…………

Several days later.

Inside a realm ship cabin.

"Boom—..."

The sleeping mountain range suddenly awakened.

"Roar—..."

The angry roar swept through the entire cabin's small world.

The fear created by the source energy sound wave impact spread in the hearts of many adventurers.

Only to see, a mountain giant over three thousand meters tall, amidst the trembling of the great earthquake, slowly rose to its feet.

The clouds could only pile up at the waist of the mountain giant.

This turned out to be a mountain giant of the Chao Shen Da Shi level, over 130 levels.

"Damn it... who woke this mountain giant."

"I don't know if it's the idiots from A Lu Mo Fu's side, but every time they pull such a despicable stunt."

"The damned A Lu Mo Fu, every time they come over to ruin our good deeds."

"Run away quickly! This Chao Shen Da Shi‑level mountain giant, once awakened, won't sleep for decades; during that time it will trample the whole world."

"All the heart‑blood of these ten‑plus years has been wasted like this; next time we go back, we must follow Lord Zhong Yan and kill more of A Lumo Fu's high‑level transcendent beings."

Deep in the mountains, a group of high‑rank sorcerers, upon seeing the mountain giant awaken, cursed, packed up their things, and fled quickly.

And in another direction.

As the instigator of this mountain giant's awakening—Ta Ke!

At this moment, he is also fleeing at high speed.

Watching the huge mountain giant that has taken a step over a mile behind, Ta Ke's eye corner twitches slightly.

"The chaotic blood crystal beside you, you don't need it yourself—wouldn't it be good to give it to someone who needs it?"

"No spirit of helpfulness at all."

"I admit… I took a bit too much… fine… I emptied your assets."

"But you wouldn't chase me so persistently, would you!"

At that moment, the angry mountain giant bent down and grabbed a mountain peak.

Ta Ke could already imagine the scene that would follow.

That thrown boulder, a single stone, could cause a large transcendent city‑state to collapse outright.

"Wormhole Jump."

Ta Ke doesn't linger; he jumps straight into the void outside.

With a "Buzz!" sound, Ta Ke vanishes.

He falls into the void outside the ship realm.

Ta Ke lets out a light sigh.

"High talent is great; you can traverse world barriers anytime, anywhere."

While tallying his loot, Ta Ke searches for the next suitable portal‑chamber world to enter.

"There are roughly over two hundred thousand chaotic blood crystals—a pretty good extra income."

"Just these many chaotic blood crystals can already preliminarily advance the Chaotic Master ecosystem in all aspects; it's not a wasted trip."

Ta Ke smiles gently.

"Besides… fully rousing the mountain giant, the Mo Lei·Shen Ting's arrangements over there would be completely washed away."

"Want to imprison the mountain giant? Keep it in eternal slumber? Then slowly excavate? Dream on!"

"This wave of mountain giant agitation directly makes their investment go down the drain."

Ta Ke, feeling pleased, thinks.

When a corner of his eye glances over the nearby world barrier, Ta Ke's heart stirs slightly.

"Flames?"

"Even from this distance, the intense flame characteristic is visible; how massive is this fire?"

Ta Ke, curious, immediately traverses toward that world.

…………

Half an hour later, after Ta Ke's careful observation confirms the world's danger level is not high,

Ta Ke jumps along the barrier into that chamber world.

"What a huge chamber world!"

Looking out, when the opposite chamber barrier is almost invisible at a glance, Ta Ke mutters to himself in a low voice.

Above the firmament, clouds swirl; below the earth, there are mountains, rivers, forests, swamps, hills of various terrains, and even a barrier‑sea.

However, none of this is the point.

The point is, in the central region of this chamber world.

A gigantic towering ancient tree, standing tens of thousands of meters tall, is blazing fiercely.

The burning Flame World Tree!

This is Ta Ke's first realization.

"It is…"

Ta Ke's eyes narrow slightly.

"It smells a bit like a furnace‑fire tree trunk."

"Some kind of magical flame ancient tree?"

However, what surprises Ta Ke most is not the Flame World Tree itself.

But the massive Steam Aura surrounding the great Flame World Tree, which has a full twelve rings.

The twelve‑ring Steam Aura amplifies the base source energy by seven times.

And as the growth site of this colossal wondrous plant, the source energy there is explosively abundant.

The base source energy is astonishing, plus the seven‑fold aura amplification.

Ta Ke's own soul‑will trembles with slight delight.

"Now… I'm going to get rich, anchor the idle mode, definitely about to launch a wave."

After all, I've also seen great storms and waves.

Soon Ta Ke steadies his restless mind.

After roughly gauging the distance, Ta Ke doesn't rashly use a wormhole jump, but approaches by flying.

Inside the Four‑Tusk Elephant Realm ship.

There are many experts from Mo Lei·Shen Ting and the Exotic Divine Alliance.

Experts from A Lumo Fu's Half‑God World, when encountering hostile experts, basically take detours.

Those wondrous places like the flame World Tree that reaches tens of thousands of meters are either occupied by experts of the black witch·Shentong.

Or they are guarded by native Chao Shen Da Shi.

In any case, it's not appropriate to jump over directly.

Even for a neutral faction, such a bold leap could instantly turn hostile.

The prime idle cultivation opportunity, Ta Ke might let it jump away.

In the kilometer‑high cloud layer.

Ta Ke unfurled the Steam Light Feather Blade, moving forward while drifting slowly and observing the situation below.

"There are villages, towns, roads, and also relatively orderly plantation zones."

"Basically they are all civilized residential areas; even the remote ones are remote civilized original inhabitants."

"If that's the case, there must be a large Transcendent city‑state over there, and trading resources with them, or even finding a suitable foothold, would be no problem."

"With a foothold, cultivation is no longer an issue."

As he moved straight ahead, Ta Ke suddenly sensed source‑energy fluctuations rapidly approaching from behind.

There were three source‑energy fluctuation auras in total.

Two Sixth‑rank ones were ahead, and a Seventh‑rank behind.

Judging by their speed, they were clearly not a group; the Seventh‑rank behind was hunting the two Sixth‑rank ahead.

Ta Ke, seeing this, turned his direction within the clouds.

During Ta Ke's wandering exploration of the cabin worlds inside this Four‑Tusk Elephant Worldship, he has not been short of such battles.

As long as it doesn't affect him, Ta Ke avoids it whenever possible.

If truly unavoidable, the opponent can only be blamed for their bad luck.

When Ta Ke changed direction, those two Sixth‑rank auras surprisingly chased after him at great speed.

This left Ta Ke slightly stunned.

"I was just normally using the Steam Light Feather Blade, didn't emit much aura, and these two can sense me from such a distance? So powerful?"

The halted Ta Ke turned and inspected behind him.

At the same time, Ta Ke swiftly entered combat readiness.

His Six‑Star Forbidden Curse 'Barrier·Crystal Wall Realm Armor' was in a stable, solid state.

The Phase Walk and Shadow Traverse abilities were in a half‑activated state.

Under the Blood Shadow Witch Robe, his fingers twitched slightly; within the Ecological Magic Net, various witchcrafts were at a critical state, ready to unleash at any moment.

Just as Ta Ke was about to strike,

he heard a wave of source‑energy sounds rushing from afar.

"Holy Fire Envoy, the pursuers behind us are men under the Void Scar Master Zhong Yan Xie Wu of Mo Lei·Shen Ting."

"Please, Holy Fire Envoy, save the two of us!"

As the sound wave swept in, the two rushed close, and the language they used was unmistakably 'Black God Language'.

Only two kinds of people use Black God Language: natives of the worldship, and people of Mo Lei·Shen Ting.

And these two's physiques and appearances, Ta Ke saw, were almost exactly those of worldship natives.

Mo Lei·Shen Ting's Void Scar Master Zhong Yan Xie Wu?

Ta Ke naturally knew this: he is a quasi‑master strongman within the worldship who has bonded a master seed.

But this Holy Fire Envoy?

Ta Ke's eyebrows twitched slightly; there was clearly something wrong.

Nevertheless, this also indicates the two are natives.

Since they are natives, Ta Ke decided to earn some goodwill.

Immediately, Ta Ke lightly lifted his demon ring staff, pressed gently with one hand, and a surging gust suddenly swept outward.

It blew away the surrounding kilometer‑high cloud layer entirely.

The two rode the wind wave, sprinting toward Ta Ke.

Seeing Ta Ke's shadow form with wings, which differed slightly from their roughly three‑meter stature, they paused not at all.

Obviously, they identified Ta Ke as the so‑called 'Holy Fire Envoy'.

Ta Ke possessed a powerful Lord·Transcendent Form and a Forbidden Curse defense, so he naturally wasn't afraid of the two approaching.

However, Ta Ke clearly would not let anyone get close easily.

"Two of you must have mistaken me for someone else!"

Ta Ke spoke, using a not‑very‑proficient Black God Language.

As expected, hearing Ta Ke's slightly halting, odd Black God speech, the two were mildly stunned, then seemed to understand something.

At that moment, the Seventh‑rank pursuers from behind were already near.

The two exchanged a glance, flew swiftly, and then… circled behind Ta Ke.

Obviously, they had fixed on Ta Ke's big leg.

"Your Excellency, Exotic Holy Fire Envoy, we still hope you can save the two of us; we will repay you greatly."

The heavily injured worldship native among them whispered a plea.

"I think there is some misunderstanding between us."

"However… it's not too late to first deal with the pursuer, then discuss further."

"Exotic Holy Fire Lord, you must be careful; that Seventh‑rank Transcendent is a subordinate of Void Scar Master Zhong Yan Xie Wu, whose strength is astonishing."

Seeing Ta Ke agree, the older injured worldship native breathed a sigh of relief, yet still reminded him.

Ta Ke withdrew his gaze, looked back at the pursuer, inhaled deeply, then exhaled forcefully.

Whoosh—

A stream of scorching dragon breath shot across the sky like a long rainbow.

The wind-system transcendent wanderer pursuing from behind still wanted to dodge.

But Ta Ke's strike, coming from a high-dimensional precise entry, was fundamentally something it could not dodge.

The scorching dragon-flame instantly pierced its body, together with its transcendent state, transcendent ecology, and even the seventh-order transcendent sequence tree, all igniting in scorching flames.

"Ah—"

The wind-system transcendent wanderer let out a shrill wail.

It could not even keep its form steady, falling downward.

Ta Ke lightly flicked the Legendary Demon Ring Staff, and the Fire Demon Hetara quickly coalesced into form, then pursued downward.

The ignited enemy was the perfect food for the Fire Demon Hetara.

Although in the Realm Ship region, Ta Ke acted cautiously, rarely stirring trouble, which showed he wanted low-key steady development.

But that did not mean Ta Ke was easy to bully.

Against this seventh-order transcendent wanderer, the dragon breath forbidden spell did not need its second stage; a single burst of dragon breath was enough.

As the seventh-order wanderer was ignited by Ta Ke's dragon breath, the Fire Demon leapt out to pursue.

The injured Realm Ship elder, and the young female Realm Ship person who spread her flame wings and carried the elder in flight.

First, they glanced at the falling seventh-order wanderer below.

Then they looked at the shadowy figure before them, supporting an otherworldly 'Holy Fire Envoy' wielding luminous power.

A flicker of fear flashed in the depths of both their pupils.

They knew well how strong that seventh-order wanderer was.

At the very least, they were masters of the Ten Crown Runes.

The two of them were no match for it at all.

The result…

They were thus killed in one breath of flame from this seventh-order Holy Fire Envoy before them—just a small puff, not lasting long.

Although they also knew that those otherworldly transcendent beings capable of becoming Holy Fire Envoys were very strong.

But, being of the same seventh order, the gap might not be that great!

If this Holy Fire Envoy harbored the slightest ill intent, the two of them probably wouldn't survive more than a second.

"Holy Fire Envoy Sir, we truly cannot escape; that is why we seek your help. If you wish to blame us, blame this old man, but please forgive 'Laidixiya'."

The injured Realm Ship Tribe elder, his body slightly trembling, begged for mercy.

Ta Ke couldn't help but stroke his chin!

"Am I really that scary?"

"Well… just giving a same-order opponent an extra glance makes them explode; I'd say that's barely a bit of intimidation!"

In his thoughts, Ta Ke slowly spoke.

"I am not the otherworldly Holy Fire Envoy you speak of."

Ta Ke saying that made the Realm Ship elder's body tremble even more.

"And the holy fire you speak of should be this very flame!"

Ta Ke raised a single finger, and a wisp of divine fire flickered into bloom.

"This is holy fire!"

The elder examined it for a moment and nodded repeatedly.

"Um… foreign sir, you really aren't an otherworldly Holy Fire Envoy, are you?"

Ta Ke shook his head.

"This is my first time coming here."

"Besides… I am a transcendent planar merchant who has come from afar."

"Are your people interested in trade?"

"A planar merchant?"

The elder's heart eased a little.

"As long as you're not from Mo Lei·Shen Ting or those evil god organization members, it's fine."

"If you wish to do business and engage in planar trade, I believe our Ancient Fire God Tree Tribe would welcome you greatly."

The elder said in a gentle voice.

"Please follow us two to the Ancient Fire God Tree City-state; we can naturally recommend you and arrange a meeting with the city-state's Nine Crown Rank elder."

"Nine Crown Rank?" Ta Ke raised his eyebrows slightly.

Having a Nine Crown Rank means there is also a Chao Shen Da Shi.

This ancient Ancient Fire God Tree City-state obviously has good things.

"Ancient Fire God Tree City-state? Is that the fire tree over there?" Ta Ke asked pretentiously.

"Yes, that is the Fire World Tree!" the elder nodded.

Ta Ke gazed into the distance at the Fire World Tree, tens of thousands of meters high, blazing fiercely, and the twelve steam rings that swept the world.

"Now this top-notch idle spot is secured!"

Although his heart was glad, Ta Ke's face remained calm and composed, showing no unusual color.
