"Daddy, Daddy..."

Lin Yi cried.

Having never received fatherly love since childhood, I finally got a little dad, but he ended up killing me in just two and a half days.

"Dad, I was wrong. I should never have encouraged you to come to Tianyuan. Please don't die, please don't die... If Mom knew I caused your death, she'd probably spank me a ton!"

"So, you're crying so hard not because you feel sorry for me!"

A mocking voice came from the ravine.

Lin Yi was stunned. The next second, he saw the flames burning in the ravine being sucked into a man's body like a dragon drawing water.

Whoosh!

Lin Yu did a somersault and climbed out of the ditch.

"Brother Yu, you..."

"belch!"

Lin Yu let out a burp and exhaled a puff of flame. This startled Lin Yi, who quickly dodged.

"What happened? Did you eat the subterranean fire?"

"Hmm, the taste is not bad. I didn't expect that the Earth Fire would recognize me and even help me forge my meridians. Hmm, although the process was very painful, I made it through!"

Although Lin Yu spoke lightly, he was still shaken. The pain of the earth fire burning his body was unimaginable.

Like skinning a live cow, the meridians are burned off, widened, then burned off again, and widened again.

Moreover, all of this was accomplished in a very short time. If he hadn't survived, he would probably have turned to ashes by now.

"Earth fire is extremely spiritual, truly a primordial being. It will find its own master, and now, I am its master!"

Lin Yu stretched out his hand, and a dark blue flame appeared in his palm.

Lin Yi revealed an expression of admiration, "Brother Yu, you're too awesome! I've seen people eat shit, but I've never seen anyone eat earth fire. You truly deserve to be the reincarnation of the strongest man in history. I'd call you Shi Niubi!"

"..."

This sounds a bit strange. Are you sure it's a compliment?

...

After obtaining the earth fire, the two continued their journey.

This time, the challenge is deep within the Flaming Mountain, to the legendary Blood Demon.

The further you go in, the hotter the air becomes, and the intense burning sensation makes you feel very uncomfortable.

Lin Yi emptied the last drop of water from his water bag, wiped his mouth, and said, panting, "Brother, why don't we go back? That Blood Demon can survive in such a high-temperature place, which shows how powerful he is. I feel that even a Martial Saint might not be able to help him!"

"We've come this far, there's no reason to turn back. You said it yourself, I'm the chosen one, I must get my hands on the Blood Demon's core, how about we split it fifty-fifty?"

"I'm afraid I might have the life to take it but not the life to enjoy it!"

Lin Yi still felt that he had oversimplified things; Tianyuan was not a place for humans at all.

Finally, after crossing a large mountain, a boundary marker appeared ahead.

"Blood Demon Realm!"

It seems we're about to enter the Blood Demon's territory!

"Brother, are you really going?"

"Scared?"

"Just kidding, we've come this far, who's afraid of who! By the way, I'm a little confused, how do I get back?"

"..."

This kid is really funny; he reminds me a bit of myself when I was young.

Lin Yu thought so, but he also sensed that Lin Yi's condition seemed a bit off.

His face was pale and he was covered in cold sweat.

Perhaps because he obtained the earth fire, he wasn't very afraid of the temperature, but Lin Yi didn't have any buffs and couldn't be immune to the high temperature. He was almost exhausted.

"Hang in there a little longer! The Blood Demon should be in the valley ahead. Let's go check it out together! If a fight really breaks out, you can just watch from the sidelines!"

"Hey, you said it yourself. If I can't help, you can't complain that I'm a burden!"

"How can a father find his son a burden? A father should always be at the forefront, paving the way for his son's future!"

"Daddy, you love me so much! Waaah!"

The two flirted and teased each other before climbing to the top of the mountain.

We climbed to the top of the hill and looked down.

They were all stunned.

The scene in the valley below was breathtaking and unexpected.

"It seems we are not fighting alone!"

"So many people have come to gang up on the Blood Demon?"

"No, they don't seem to be human!"

Lin Yu seemed to sense something and stared intently at the crowd below.

These people were all deathly pale, devoid of any color, like the dead. Moreover, an aura of death emanated from their bodies.

That's right, these aren't human!

"Ghosts? My God, so many ghosts! Although I've heard that there are demons and ghosts in Tianyuan, this number is just too much..." Lin Yi's mouth dropped open in astonishment.

"Shh!"

Lin Yu gestured for silence, then immediately pressed his head down.

Peeking out again, he saw a figure in black robes emerge from the swarm of people—no, from the horde of ghosts.

This person has a very high hairline and a somewhat neurotic demeanor, which inevitably reminds one of the Moon Worship Cult Leader from the Legend of Sword and Fairy.

He slowly approached a large cave in front of him and began to speak.

"Blood Demon, my old friend, it's been so many years. Shouldn't you come out to greet me? Let's catch up!" the black-robed man said with a mocking expression.

A moment later!

Knock knock knock!

A series of heavy footsteps came from inside the cave.

This direction was directly opposite Lin Yu and his companion, and the first thing they saw was two enormous horns slowly emerging from the cave.

Then came a huge bull's head, followed by an incredibly muscular physique.
