The Black Robed Man noticed that Shi Feng, who was about to enter a breakthrough state, suddenly opened his eyes and unexpectedly did not carry out the breakthrough.

The Black Robed Man voiced his doubt and asked Shi Feng, "With your previous state, your realm should have directly broken through. Why did you stop?"

"My breakthrough takes too much time, I'll do it later when I have the chance," Shi Feng replied.

He possessed the legendary Undying Demon Body, which requires undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation for breakthroughs, making it quite different from ordinary breakthroughs, requiring extra time.

As Shi Feng spoke, his gaze turned to the figure on the head of the nearby yellow Big Snake.

Shi Feng had already sensed that after some recovery time, Huo Yu's injuries and depleted energy were about seventy to eighty percent restored.

If it were an ordinary Martial Artist, the injuries of that extent, especially the energy within him, would have been completely exhausted at the time, and recovery would definitely not have been possible in such a short period.

But Huo Yu's rapid recovery showed that besides having an extraordinary physique, he must have some treasures or mysterious pills.

This person, after all, is the Saint Heir of an ancient power, the Flame Sacred Land, so it's not surprising for him to possess rare treasures.

Sitting cross-legged under the Flame Tree, Shi Feng's figure suddenly moved and vanished.

When he reappeared, he was proudly standing atop the yellow Big Snake's head, in front of Huo Yu.

Huo Yu was still in a crouched position. Sensing Shi Feng's arrival, he slowly lifted his head and looked toward him. "You!"

Huo Yu articulated the word "you," but his expression facing Shi Feng now revealed that he immensely dreaded Shi Feng, even showing signs of fear.

The agony of one's soul being torn apart, the unbearable feeling of being cut into a thousand pieces, surely he could never forget these experiences.

This... This person had subjected him to such brutal means, only a heartless Demon could do such things! Original content can be found at NoveI[F]ire.net

"What, you still have complaints against me?" Shi Feng looked down at Huo Yu again, a cold smile gracing his lips as he spoke with chilly disdain.

Upon hearing what this "Demon" said, Huo Yu quickly shook his head and responded, "No! No! I have no complaints! I surrender!"

It appeared that Huo Yu indeed feared him.

He was well aware that if he provoked this "Demon" any further, the repercussions he would face would be dire.

This "Demon!"

If there were a remedy for regret, Huo Yu truly wished not to incur his wrath again!

If given a choice, he would never want to endure the pain of soul tearing again.

"From now on, you will be my servant. My orders are your everything!" Shi Feng spoke arrogantly to Huo Yu once more.

"Understood! I understand! Master..." At this moment, though Huo Yu felt unwilling and resentful, he finally and reluctantly uttered, "Master!"

Despite his noble status, great strength, and unparalleled talent, he had to call a One-star Demigod his Master!

But if he didn't...

Seeing Huo Yu becoming more submissive, Shi Feng felt somewhat satisfied and nodded slightly, then spoke to Huo Yu once more:

"From now on, you should silently pray that you are useful to me. If you prove worthless, I will inevitably kill you. Killing a Three-star Demigod brings numerous benefits to me."

"I..."

"I know." Huo Yu finally responded honestly.

At that moment, Shi Feng's thoughts stirred, and he and the Four-headed Giant Snake suddenly sparkled with radiant blood-colored light.

Not only Shi Feng but even the Black Robed Man under the Flame Tree was also flickering with blood-colored light, and once the blood light fell, they disappeared from the space of this Blood Stone Stele.

In the blazing Flame Land, the Four-headed Giant Snake, Shi Feng, the Black Robed Man, and Huo Yu appeared again, once more sensing this Flame Land, Shi Feng asked Huo Yu, "In this Flame Land, has there never been any other living being?"

"This Flame Land merely serves as the passage between the first and second levels of this Flame Extreme Cave!" Huo Yu answered.

At this moment, Huo Yu had already stood up, joining Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man, standing atop the yellow Big Snake's head.

"So it's just the passageway, no wonder!" Upon hearing Huo Yu's words, Shi Feng appeared enlightened.

He initially found it odd how they were suppressed to the Martial Saint Realm in the first level, continuously battling, with increasingly many Flame Monsters.

Yet here it's so quiet, with no apparent dangers.

"Have you entered the second level of this Flame Extreme Cave?" Shi Feng asked Huo Yu again.

"I have entered! But shortly after, I retreated," Huo Yu truthfully replied, "Upon entering the second level, there was someone powerful clad in Flame Battle Armor at the entrance. After seeing him, I immediately retreated."

"Oh? Someone you deemed powerful had entered that second level?" Shi Feng murmured.

If someone stronger than Huo Yu was present, what realm must they have reached?

Four-star Half God Realm?

Five-star Demigod Realm?

Even higher!

"When did you encounter that person in the second level?" Shi Feng asked again.

"About five days ago! I'm not sure exactly when; in this Flame Land, there is no black or white day," Huo Yu replied again.

"Five days!" Shi Feng murmured, nodding slowly. Then he told Huo Yu, "Let's go! Lead the way. Let's take a look at the second level!"

"Okay!" Huo Yu responded, his figure flashing and disappearing, instantly reappearing in the Void in front of the Four-headed Giant Snake.

Then, led by Huo Yu at the front, the Four-headed Giant Snake and Shi Feng followed behind, heading toward the second level of the Flame Extreme Cave.

Soon, a waterfall-like Flame Wall with flames cascading downward blocked their path.

This Flame Wall, when viewed from below, appeared as a giant wall of flames rising into the sky, connecting the blazing heavens with the earth.

Leading them, Huo Yu suddenly halted his figure and spoke calmly, "Beyond that Flame Wall ahead, there's a Flame Cave. Pass through that Flame Cave, and you'll reach the second level of this Flame Extreme Cave."

"Oh!" Hearing Huo Yu's words, Shi Feng uttered a soft "Oh," surprised at the hidden nature of the second level.

Presumably, Huo Yu had invested some effort in discovering the entrance to the second level.

Without Huo Yu leading the way, Shi Feng would definitely need to spend some time entering the next level in this Flame Land.

"Then let's go!" Shi Feng's eyes remained fixed on the road ahead as he spoke.

Afterward, Huo Yu's figure, alongside the massive body of the Four-headed Giant Snake, simultaneously flashed, rapidly heading toward the towering Flame Wall.
