Bleak destion, punishing heat.


    A mix of desert and Gobi emerged before Chu Yuan''s eyes.


    At first nce, yellow sand swirled in all directions, as if covered in ayer of golden mes, refracting a golden radiance. It was quite simply a scene of fiery cosmos and molten gold.


    This environment, dry and scorching, only Martial Artists who cultivated fire Divine Abilities would ever find it enjoyable; no one else would linger here for long.


    "Hmm? The elemental energy here possesses a power that gradually strips away Mana. Although it''s slow, it''s undeniably present."


    Chu Yuan took in his surroundings.


    "Indeed, the Ancient me Emperor Fen Tian had the most fiery temperament among the Five Emperors. Anyone who incurred his wrath would be attacked directly. He was more terrifying than a Celestial God. Even after the Ancient Era has long passed, his Mana imprint remains here, ensuring that instead of improving, the conditions here continue to deteriorate."


    Ouyang Ming reverently exined: "I''ve been here a few times. I originally intended to capture the divine me and incorporate it into myself, but my strength was insufficient, and I had to reluctantly retreat."


    A Refining Master or an Alchemist who could control an extraordinary divine fire could significantly enhance their skills.


    "The Divine Golden me has a great use for me, so I cannot grant it to you. However, you are right. For a director of the Dawu Forge, it would be shameful not to possess a single divine me."


    Chu Yuan deliberated, "I will teach you a technique so you can cultivate your own divine me, known as the Void me."


    "Void me?" Ouyang Ming looked slightly confused.


    "Yes, the Void me. It''s a divine me that burns in the vacuum. Treat it as a Divine Ability and cultivate it. I will have Kongmi Daoji assist you in this process with the power of space. Furthermore, with your gifted perception, it won''t be difficult for you to cultivate the Floating Tumen Divine Fire that I control."


    Chu Yuan''s fingertip throbbed with a me of vitreous luster. It twisted and reshaped unceasingly.


    "Divine me!"


    Ouyang Ming immediately knelt: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"


    A self-cultivated divine me would start weak but would possess a strong spiritual nature and would grow stronger with the increase of one''s own state.


    "Stand up. Those who contribute shall be rewarded, as this is your rightful due."


    Chu Yuan had his reasons for letting Ouyang Ming cultivate the Void me.


    In the future, Dawu will produce more terrifying devices, necessitatingrge quantities of materials.


    Having a Refining Master who can refine various high-level materials at his disposal would undeniably make things easier for him.


    Merely relying on the Qiankun Commerce Guild would be insufficient.


    The fate of his own life should always be tightly grasped in his own hands.


    At this point, Kongmi Daoji kept squirming, clearly ufortable with the dry environment here.


    "Alright, you can rest inside for now."


    Upon aplishing its task, Chu Yuan drew Kongmi Daoji into the Jade Seal.


    "Your Majesty, please follow me. In fact, the location of the Divine Golden me is no secret. Many have tried to seize it. However, this divine me has already acquired a spiritual nature, it adapted the cunning of humans. Upon sensing a formidable presence it hides, and if underestimated, it engulfs them."


    Ouyang Ming led the way.


    "It seems that the divine me has indeed be sentient."


    Chu Yuan said.


    With the speed of their movements resembling flying lightning, they glided over the massive desert, which was about the size of several Guihai Prefectures.


    "It should be in here."


    Before long, Ouyang Ming arrived at a cave. From within, golden mes kept erupting, creating an unbearably hot environment.


    "We''re going in."


    This time, Chu Yuan led the way.


    The cave was incredibly deep. After descending ten thousand meters, they reached the bottom, and the surroundings changed into solid rock. It wasn''t dark; instead, it was brightly lit.


    Deep gold marks were visible on the rocks on both sides, undoubtedly the Gold me Divine Gold Chu Yuan was in need of.


    The Floating Tumen Fire had been very active ever since Chu Yuan entered the cave.


    As one of the most powerful congenital divine mes, it could also sense the presence of the Divine Golden me. Now it turned into a small me, leaping incessantly.


    The further they ventured, the more intense the golden light became. The temperature also increased, making it feel as though they were in the heart of a star.


    Ouyang Ming was also drenched in sweat. Although he was a Void God, the temperature was too intense, as if he were inside a star, forcing him to exert his mana to resist it.


    "His Majesty''s power is immeasurable!"


    Seeing Chu Yuan''s easy-going demeanor, Ouyang Ming increasingly felt that the depth of this emperor was unfathomable.


    The cave may be incredibly deep, but it ultimately had an end. Chu Yuan seemed to have suddenly arrived at the center of the earth. The space in front of him abruptly became vast, revealing an expansive area ahead.


    This ce spanned a hundred miles.


    It was a tumultuous, roaring, golden-redke!


    This golden-redke was not made of water, but of boilingva!


    The magma seemed to be erupting from the earth''s core!


    Such terrifying temperature was a thousand times stronger than that of ordinaryva!


    Glug Glug!


    Theva was not calm, continuously bubbling and sttering.


    "Your Majesty, the Golden me Divine Fire is in thisva. I once fought it briefly but had to quickly retreat. After all, here, it''s the territory of the Golden me Divine Fire. Even a Tenth-Level Void God might not be able to subdue it."


    Ouyang Ming''s face was extremely serious.


    Thisva was left behind from the great battle between the former Emperor Fen Tian and his powerful enemy. It was tainted with mana more fearsome than that of the Celestial Gods, which even a Void God found hard to bear.


    If the Golden me Divine Fire was easy to subdue, it would have been taken long ago.


    "Your information is urate. I have already sensed the aura of the Golden me Divine Fire."


    Boom!


    Just as Chu Yuan was speaking, theva suddenly began to heave violently. Columns ofva erupted, racing towards Chu Yuan.


    "Golden me Divine Fire!"


    Chu Yuan, under the downpour of magma rain, had a flicker of Fudo Fire in his eyes, "If the Fudo Fire swallows the Golden me Divine Fire, it will surely evolve. Ordinary Void Gods would be directly incinerated by it. Plus, this ce is rich in minerals, it will be turned into a material base, and I also want thisva!"


    As he was thinking, he reached out a hand towards theva.


    As easily as flipping his hand!


    Lava fell on Chu Yuan''s body, he didn''t even need to use the Greater Swallowing Technique, just relying on the Fudo Fire was enough to ward it off.


    He had already seen that the Golden me Divine Fire had sensed the presence of someone and was moving around in theva sea.


    Thevake was actually vast. Although it seemed only to span a hundred miles in front, the whole desert beneath was filled withva, flowing to this spot.


    If it sensed danger, the Golden me Divine Fire could escape.


    A massive golden dragon was swimming in thevake. Suddenly, it surged out. Its entire body wasposed of magma, especially its dragon eyes, which revealed an anthropomorphic disdain.


    The mes flickering in the pair of dragon eyes was precisely the body of the Golden me Divine Fire!


    The golden dragon charged directly towards Chu Yuan, fearing no other existence in thisvake.


    Hum!


    Chu Yuan punched out,nding directly on the body of the golden dragon. In that moment, the golden dragon disintegrated, scattering countless droplets.


    But the Golden me Divine Fire wasn''t afraid at all. It was essentially an intangible existence. What could scattering its dragon body do? In thisvake, it had limitless energy.


    In the blink of an eye, the dragon body reformed, and eighty ghostly golden dragons appeared, forming a golden dragon array with it.


    Ny-nine by eighty-one!


    Fire Dragon Array!


    "This Golden me Divine Fire has devoured countless people and learned to set up arrays from their memories. However, Your Majesty''s strength is truly terrifying. If it were me, I would have fled already, otherwise, I would be dragged into theva by the Golden me Divine Fire."


    Ouyang Ming could not assist in this fight, he could only watch from a corner.


    But when he saw that eighty-one golden dragons were surrounding Chu Yuan, another terrifying sense of killing intent swept over, making his face drastically change, and he suddenly shouted out loud.


    "Your Majesty, watch out!"
