“Thank you!” Wang Teng thanked An Lan sincerely as if he was honestly complimenting him.
“… You’re welcome.” An Lan felt helpless.
He regained his composure quickly though. To a heaven-stage martial warrior, the celestial stage was nothing much. He was just surprised at the sudden breakthrough.
This fellow is really extraordinary. An Lan exclaimed in his heart.
Cao Jiaojiao also noticed Wang Teng’s breakthrough. There was a hint of astonishment in her eyes, and she was unable to remain calm.
!!
This fellow had a breakthrough at such a crucial moment. The breakthrough seemed so simple. It felt outrageous.
Cao Jiaojiao already knew about Wang Teng’s emperor-level fire talent from Cao Hongtu. But…
Why did it seem so easy?
Even someone with imperial-level talent wouldn’t be able to do it so smoothly.
This didn’t make sense!
There was a virtual castle in the life energy stone. Round Ball laid on the balcony of the castle and pouted. “Why are they making such a huge scene?”
It was just a breakthrough to the celestial stage!
If Wang Teng revealed all his trump cards, they would probably be scared to death.
However, it had to admit that Wang Teng was a little outrageous. One could never take him as an ordinary person.
…
Wang Teng felt the changes in his body. The fire Force had calmed down, and the fire “star” was spinning silently above the sea of nihility.
But it was no longer in the same row as the other Force constellations. It stayed in a space of its own and appeared a little arrogant.
A smile appeared on the edge of Wang Teng’s lips. Either way, he finally broke through to the celestial stage.
He glanced at the attributes panel.
Constellation Fire Force: 28/10000 (celestial stage first level)
“Huh?”
Wang Teng felt puzzled.
This wasn’t right!
The upper limit of the planetary-stage first level was 10,000. Why was it the same at the celestial stage?
This didn’t make sense.
As he stared at the row of attributes, he got enlightened.
“So this is how it works,” Wang Teng muttered to himself in surprise.
When he advanced to the celestial stage, the Force he received would be calculated based on the celestial stage standard.
This meant that the constellation Force he received from planetary-stage martial warriors would be purified automatically. The value would become lower. Only the constellation Force he received from celestial-stage martial warriors would be of the same value. As for the cosmos stage and heaven stage, the value of the constellation Force would increase relatively.
Wang Teng didn’t know how the conversion worked. The system had the right to all the calculations.
He blinked and stopped pondering over this issue. He should focus on raising his ability quickly. That way, even if the system decided to leave him one day, he wouldn’t have anything to worry about.
He shifted his gaze and looked at another attribute.
Origin Of Life: 20400
His Origin Of Life had increased by ten thousand points. This was a huge change.
This showed that the advancement to the celestial stage was truly an upgrade of one’s life. The different stages were all incomparable to each other.
After studying the changes in his attributes, Wang Teng shifted his thoughts back to the real world.
This flaming river is a good place. After killing enough Fire Black Toads, I must go along this river and pick up all the attribute bubbles.
Wang Teng made a promise to himself.
An Lan noticed that Wang Teng had managed to stabilize his cultivation, so he opened his mouth and asked, “Are we going to start killing Fire Black Toads from here?”
“Yes, let’s start here.” Wang Teng nodded.
Just when they were about to start moving, Wang Teng suddenly realized that Little White and the metal armor flaming scorpion were staring at the flaming river absentmindedly.
“Little White, Old Metal,” Wang Teng called them with a frown.
“Master, something in the flaming river is beckoning me,” the metal armor flaming scorpion suddenly said.
“Something is beckoning you?” Wang Teng was confused. He turned to Little White and asked, “Do you feel it too?”
“Caw!” Little White nodded.
“You sense it too?” Wang Teng was astounded.
“It looks like there’s something inside the flaming river,” An Lan touched his chin and said.
Wang Teng contemplated for some time before asking his spiritual pets, “Can you guys detect the exact location?”
“No, I can only sense that it’s in the flaming river.” The metal armor flaming scorpion shook its head helplessly after trying.
“If that’s the case, we’re looking for a needle in the haystack. You are only at the emperor level. If you enter the flaming river recklessly, you might die before finding the thing.” Wang Teng shook his head.
The metal armor flaming scorpion and Little White were aware of it, so they looked at Wang Teng and waited for him to make the decision.
“Since we’re going into the flaming river to kill Fire Black Toads, we can search for the item along the way. If you detect its exact location, remember to inform me,” Wang Teng said after some consideration.
Little White and the metal armor flaming scorpion had no objections.
“An Lan, you won’t have to go down later. I have an idea. We’ll…” Wang Teng sniggered and turned to speak to An Lan and the other mechas.
An Lan nodded continuously, his eyes glowing. “This is a good plan.”
“I’ll leave the surface to y’all.” Wang Teng nodded and jumped into the flaming river with Little White and the metal armor flaming scorpion.
The three of them were devoured by the flames and vanished without a trace.
“Will they be alright jumping in like this?” An Feng asked.
“That fellow has a divine flame. Normal flames won’t be able to hurt him. As for the Fire Black Toads, he won’t have a problem dealing with them,” An Lan replied.
“That’s true.” An Feng nodded. “Anyway, boss, I have never seen you being this confident in someone.”
“This person is different,” An Lan said.
The other three mechas glanced at him in surprise and nodded in deep thought. “A normal martial warrior won’t be able to achieve a breakthrough so abruptly.”
“That’s not the only surprise,” An Lan said in a meaningful tone.
…
In the flaming river.
Wang Teng felt the fire surrounding him. Scorching heat surged over, attempting to burn all the living creatures that barged into the river.
What a frightening temperature. Wang Teng was flabbergasted.
If he didn’t have the Emerald Glazed Flame ‘suit’ protecting him, he would definitely be burned to death in this environment. Even after advancing to the celestial stage, he couldn’t withstand the heat.
He hurriedly looked at Little White and metal armor flaming scorpion. He was dumbstruck.
“You… seem fine?” Wang Teng asked in bewilderment.
“Yes. Master, the temperature isn’t that high,” the metal armor flaming scorpion replied.
“Isn’t that high? How’s that possible?” Wang Teng wondered if the metal armor flaming scorpion was joking.
He could sense the temperature around him clearly, but these two star beasts were telling him it wasn’t high. Was he having an illusion?
“Caw.” Little White cawed too.
It was unaffected by the heat and continued flying in the flaming river. Moreover, it seemed to be enjoying itself.
“What’s going on?” Wang Teng frowned.
He felt that this wasn’t an illusion nor was there a problem with his senses. There was only one possibility.
“Let’s go!” Wang Teng suppressed the thought in his mind and called Little White and the metal armor flaming scorpion over.
The two spiritual pets glanced at each other and followed after Wang Teng.
The river was wide and deep, but nothing could be seen from the surface. One would only see an endless flaming river laid horizontally in the sky.
It was obvious that the owner of this flaming river world used space power to build this river.
Wang Teng continued diving deeper with his spiritual pets. The flame couldn’t hurt them, so he didn’t have to worry about them.
But the deeper they went, the higher the temperature became.
Little White and the metal armor flaming scorpion remained unaffected. They were extremely carefree like fish returning to the sea.
“Interesting!” Wang Teng smiled. He was more certain of his guess.
Croak!
A strange cry interrupted his thoughts.
At the same time, a long tongue shot out from the flames below, aiming at Wang Teng.
“I’ve been waiting for you.” Wang Teng’s eyes gleamed. He stretched his hand and pointed his finger. The Golden Crescent Blade darted out and cut the long tongue into two.
The Golden Crescent Blade was made of extraordinary material. It could withstand high heat, hence the reason Wang Teng dared to use it.
Croak!
Another strange noise was heard. This time, it was filled with pain.
Well, its tongue was cut.
Croak, croak, croak…
It was like a wake-up call. Numerous strange noises resounded in the river. A sea of crimson-yellow balls lit up below them, covering the entire floor. It wasn’t a friendly sight for people with trypophobia.
“F**k!” Wang Teng cursed.
These weren’t balls of light. They were the eyes of the Fire Black Toads.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh…
Before he could react, piercing sonic booms rang in the river, attacking Wang Teng from below.
“Go!”
Wang Teng’s expression changed slightly. The Golden Crescent Blade flew out again and chopped all the long tongues.
Clang!
At this moment, the Golden Crescent Blade slammed into a tough opponent and gave off a metallic sound. It rebounded.
“Mid-tier imperial-level Fire Black Toad!”
Wang Teng’s expression turned serious. He shouted at Little White and the metal armor flaming scorpion, “Go!”
The two star beasts immediately flew upwards.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Giant figures had already appeared below. They were infuriated and kept chasing Wang Teng relentlessly.
They spurted pillars of fire out of their mouths and hurled them at Wang Teng.
Wang Teng didn’t know that the Fire Black Toads had another attacking method. His expression turned grim, and his speed rose exponentially. He shuttled back and forth within the pillars of fire, dodging them as he flew upwards.
He didn’t keep Little White and the metal armor flaming scorpion in his space fragment.
These two spiritual pets hadn’t participated in any battle after they advanced to the emperor level. Life-or-death experiences would help them to mature quickly. Even escaping was a form of real-life battle experience.
Wang Teng didn’t help them. He would only do so if they were in fatal danger.
Very soon, they reached the top of the river. Wang Teng was elated and quickly charged out. At the same time, he shouted, “An Lan, do it now!”
