The Supreme God of Martial Arts

Austin and the fire source beast saw each other at the same time.

"Austin! It's you! How have you been?"

It was the fire source beast who greeted Austin first. A lot of things had already happened since both of them had parted ways. Naturally, he was happy to see his friend again.

Unfortunately, Austin could not match his enthusiasm. As soon as their eyes met, he quickly rushed into the space where the fire source beast was cultivating.

The small space was personally created by the fire source beast so he could do it in seclusion.

"I have lots of things to tell you, my friend. Things have gone from bad to worse.

I promise to tell you everything. But for now, we must leave as soon as we can!”

Austin urged the fire source beast, his voice panic-stricken.

"Huh? What do you mean? What's going on?"

Seeing Austin’s serious expression, the fire source beast barraged him with lots of questions.

Then, to give his friend a rough idea of what had happened, he told him that the senior leaders of the Time Chamber Sect, together with their men, were on the way to exact their revenge.

"From what I know, their senior leaders are equivalent to the three Lords of Darkness and the three Lords of Reincarnation. They are too powerful for us to stop! Our best course of action is to hide from them,"

Austin explained.

As soon as he got the gist of their dilemma, the fire source beast shared the grave expression Austin wore.

He knew very well how powerful the senior leaders of the Time Chamber Sect were. Compared to them, the fire source beast had nothing. He paused for a while, deep in thought.

"We don't have to leave the Eight Fires Valley,"

the fire source beast finally said, shaking his head.

"Why not?

The senior leaders on pursuit will surely come to the Eight Fires Valley to hunt you. Given their strength, you would have a hard time dealing with them. Plus, they have you outnumbered. Moreover, I don't think they will have a hard time figuring out the maze in the Fiery Eye.

You should know that compared to the younger leaders of their sect, they are more powerful and more perceptive.

Please, listen to me. You have to leave. You can't win this fight!"

Concerned for his friend's welfare, Austin tried his best to persuade the fire source beast.

"Even if we leave here and go outside, they won't let us go. You know what? There is a grand world hidden in the depths of the Fiery Eye.

That was the place where our ancestors had once lived.

For so long, I have been exploring the Eight Fires Valley. I haven't explored yet every nook and cranny of the Fiery Eye, so I still haven't found that world.

So here's an idea—let's go to the depths of the Fiery Eye and look for that world right now.

If we successfully find it, I'm certain that the senior leaders of the Time Chamber Sect would have a hard time looking for us!

We don't have to worry about the other people from the Time Chamber Sect. I'm sure that the maze alone would leave them confused—they simply don't have the ability to reach the deepest portions of the Fiery Eye,"

the fire source beast proposed.

"There is a grand world hidden in the depths of the Fiery Eye?

And it was the place where your ancestors had lived before?"

Austin repeated, a little surprised to hear what the fire source beast said.

"That's right.

Once we find this place, we can stay there for the meantime. I'm certain that the senior leaders of the Time Chamber Sect would not be able to find us easily even if they managed to enter the Fiery Eye.

I'm confident that I could take you,"

the fire source beast reassured Austin.

"Plus, countless members from the Time Chamber Sect have the entire Eight Fires Valley surrounded. If we decide to escape, we will have to deal with them head-on. That would be very difficult.”

As they were both discussing their options, the fire source beast released his spiritual sense far away from their position to have an idea of what was going on outside.

The Eight Fires Valley was his territory, which was filled with tremendous amounts of fire-natured laws and energy, so his sensibility was much stronger than that of Austin here. Even if he was in the Fiery Eye, he could clearly perceive the situation outside the Eight Fires Valley.

"You are right. Before I came in, the people of the Time Chamber Sect were very close to the Eight Fires Valley.

At this point, they might have the whole place surrounded.”

What the fire source beast said made Austin's heart sink.

Austin knew that as the four senior leaders of the Time Chamber Sect were guarding outside, it would be too difficult for him and the fire source beast to escape

"We can't waste any more time.

Let's go find the world in the innermost part of the Fiery Eye. It's our best option at the moment. For hundreds of years, I have cultivated in seclusion. At this point, I have thoroughly studied all the laws in the Fiery Eye.

Therefore, we should be able to safely pass through it,"

the fire source beast confidently stated.

Then, he took Austin out of the small space and they both headed to the depths of the Fiery Eye. Meanwhile,

outside the Eight Fires Valley,

a myriad of Time Chamber Sect's members had the Eight Fires Valley surrounded. In any case that Austin and the fire source beast showed up, they would be more than ready to take them on.

The four senior leaders of the sect stood regally in front of the Eight Fires Valley, their gazes vigilant, closely watching for their targets

It did not take them long before they knew the entire situation of the whole valley clearly.

"Sure enough, there are eight sacred fires in the valley. In this kind of environment, the fire source beast can display a relatively strong combat effectiveness.

No wonder he could kill Emory,”

one of them stated.

"The eight sacred fires are from the Fiery Eye.

I'm certain that there is more to it than what it seems. There must be something mysterious hidden inside of it,"

another one proposed.

"It's highly probable. It looks like the real secret of the Eight Fires Valley is hidden inside the Fiery Eye.

The fire source beast must be hiding in there,"

a third one agreed.

"Let's go find them inside.”

One of the senior leaders stepped into the Eight Fires Valley.

The other three followed.

"Come with us,"

one of them urged the eight young leaders.

Of course, the young leaders quickly obeyed their seniors.

"You shall lead our people to surround the Eight Fires Valley. No one is allowed to come in and out," Solomon ordered the gods of chaos of their sect.

"Got it!"

The gods of chaos received the order respectfully.

Once everything was settled, the leaders entered the Eight Fires Valley.

The four senior leaders ignored the eight sacred fires and strode forward.

They walked on like the sacred fires had no effect on them at all.

However, the eight younger leaders who tagged along were highly alert and were very cautious around the sacred fires.

They layered multiple secret cultivation methods, secret magic treasures, and various other methods just to make sure the sacred fires would not damage them.

It would spell trouble if the sacred fires touched them since they were not strong enough to deal with them yet.

What amplified their fear even more was the fact that Emory was killed by the sacred fires. Hence, they journeyed even in a heedful manner.

After a while,

the leaders of the Time Chamber Sect arrived at the Fiery Eye—the innermost part of the Eight Fires Valley.

"Sirs, the fire source beast is hiding himself in depths of the Fiery Eye. Last time we were here, we hunted him around here.

Sadly, the passages inside the Fiery Eye are very complicated—like a maze.

So, we returned empty-handed and were forced to retreat,”

Solomon informed the four senior leaders.

"It doesn't matter.

Let's go inside,”

one of the senior leaders dismissed. Then, he took the lead and walked into the Fiery Eye.

The rest followed him closely.

As they entered the Fiery Eye, the four senior leaders released their spiritual senses to perceive the situation in all directions.

Compared to the eight young leaders, their spiritual senses were more powerful.

Hence, they were able to perceive along the densely packed passages. They could try and perceive the location of the fire source beast even from a farther distance.
