Born Almighty Warrior
Chapter 142 The Scorching Dragon Valley

Smoke and flames rose over the looming mountains, engulfing the trees and wild beasts in a densecloud. The forest was soon aflame, the roar of the wild beasts echoing from the sky.

In a remote corner of the mountain, hidden were three newly-dug caves. Sitting in the lotus positionin their respective caves, Ricky and his two companions were already in the state of refining fireessence

Although the fire essence had been divided equally among them, each of them had a substantialamount of it.

With the help of the Flame Zone, Ricky had been skillfully refining the fire essence. With the addedpower of the powerful Devouring Skill, Ricky successfully refined all his fire essence in less than sixhours.

Of course, there was also another important factor in Ricky's success. It was the fire essence, thepurest energy on earth, which contained almost no impurities. This greatly lessened the effort hehad to make in terms of purifying it.

Ricky finally fulfilled his goal of reaching the sixth grade of Blood Purification after the successfulrefining of fire essence.

During his stay in the Casting Guild for over a month, Ricky had already reached the peak of thefifth grade of Blood Purification. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to kill Casado so efficiently,even if he had the aid of the Ice Cage Fingers.

Now, thanks to the energy of fire essence, Ricky had not only reached the sixth grade of BloodPurification, but also consolidated and strengthened it in a rather short span of time.

“This pure energy is extraordinary. The Earth Fire Place, due to its powerful fire essence and secretivenature, is really quite exceptional, ' Ricky thought to himself, feeling a wave of emotions well upinside him.

Besides, the Flame Zone inside the regained spiritual meridian had once again undergone a changeafter he reached the sixth grade of Blood Purification. It seemed the originally boundless FlameZone had expanded once more, the infernal power growing even more intense. The scarlet runes,especially, had become more gleaming.

"It seems that as long as I keep elevating my cultivation, my regained spiritual meridian will appearnaturally! But... I just don't know when the Supreme Skills inside the Flame Zone will appear,” Rickymurmured to himself.

With this, Ricky walked out of the cave. He wanted to stand guard over Kayla and Theo, who werestill refining.

He finally felt hunger pangs after some time, and so fished out some beast meat from his storagebag and began to roast it.

Kayla and Theo had been refining for a day and a half. Finally, they finished.

As soon as they came to, the aromatic smell of the roasted meat met their nostrils. They hurriedlyexited their caves and began to feast. The meat was so delicious that Kayla was too busy eatingravenously to mind her decorum.

"Ricky, you are so good at roasting meat. You can open a restaurant in the Casting City and yourbusiness will be booming!" Theo said with a chuckle.

"Ha-ha! Theo, if it's the case, we don't need to cast weapons. With the income from the restaurant,we can buy any Treasures from Heaven and Earth and cultivation method at the auctions,” Rickyjoked back.

They talked and bantered, enjoying the feeling of finally being able to relax and unwind.

In the process of their refining, Kayla and Theo both had some success. Kayla had reached theseventh grade of Blood Purification and Theo, the eighth grade. To a certain extent, they would beable to protect themselves in the perilous Earth Fire Place.

After a brief rest, they were ready to continue their journey to the depths of the Earth Fire Place andbegin to look for opportunities.

It was at this moment that Theo brought out a jade tablet from his breast pocket. It was deepmaroon and glittered in the light.

"Theo, is this the contact jade tablet?" Kayla asked.

"Yes, it is the contact jade tablet of my clan. Two disciples from my clan had been dispatched intothe Earth Fire Place,” Theo explained.

"If they come within 1, 000 meters of our caves, this contact jade tablet will glisten!"

"Well, in that case, let's wait here for them. If they're only one thousand meters away, I'm sure they'llcatch up with us in almost no time," Ricky said.

Soon, two figures appeared, walking towards them.

The two young men looked delicate and amiable. It seemed to Ricky that they seemed to have beenborn fragile and effeminate, just like Theo.

"They really have come from the same clan," Ricky thought to himself.

In truth, the internal power of these two young men were quite substantial. Ricky could sense thatthey had possibly reached the eighth grade of Blood Purification and were close to the top level ofthe eighth grade.

"Kayla, Ricky, these are Pompeo and Aiden. They are known as two geniuses among the youngdisciples of our clan!" Theo said proudly, warmly introducing them to Kayla and Ricky

and vice versa.

However, they responded rather impatiently. "Theo, we know who they are! This is Kayla, we knowof her already! And of course this is Ricky, who hasn't heard about him? A once in a century castinggenius!"

"Ha-ha, I am growing quite infamous, aren't I?" Ricky said smugly.

"That's right. On our way to the Scorching Dragon Valley, we have heard rumors about you. Well, tobe more precise, it's rumors about your manual. You know, Ricky, you should take some precautionswith that..."

Ricky looked crestfallen when he heard this.

"Humph! You are a self-obsessed man, but you cannot keep carrying on with your self-obsessed lifestyle! What will you do if those assassins allocate some time to kill you and take the manual awayfrom you?" Kayla said admonishingly.

"Humph, I'll take real countermeasures,” Ricky said determinedly.

"Well, why did you come to me now? Why are you so late?" Theo asked, diverting the topic.

"Theo, let us tell you the whole story. When we were first sent here, we went to the depths of theEarth Fire Place,” Pompeo said.

"At the depths of the Earth Fire Place! Why did you walk out of it? Why didn't you remain where youwere and wait for us?" Theo asked, quite confused.

"Theo, we discovered the Scorching Dragon Valley!" Aiden said, his eyes lighting up. "We waited upfor you in the originally agreed-upon place for some time, but there was not much to do. So wewalked out to trace you lest we should waste our time."

"What! You discovered the Scorching Dragon Valley!?" Kayla remarked in total shock as Theo wasstunned into silence.

"Yes, Kayla, the Scorching Dragon Valley. Otherwise we wouldn't have walked out of the Earth FirePlace if we didn't make that discovery!"

"Tell me about the Scorching Dragon Valley," Ricky said. He did not know enough to understand theexpressions of astonishment on their faces.

"Ricky, have you ever heard of the creature that exists at the top of the food chain?" Pompeo asked."It must be the Great Dragon in a legend!" Ricky asnwered with certainty, associating the ScorchingDragon Valley with the Great Dragon.

"Yes, it must be the Great Dragon!" Pompeo added.

"The Fire Dragon, which belongs to the Great Dragon species, once lived here. The ScorchingDragon Valley was soaked with the Great Dragon's blood! After tens of thousands of years ofevolution, the blood of the Fire Dragon has totally seeped into the soil of the Scorching DragonValley...

And places like that are now called the Scorching Dragon Valley!

The blood of the Fire Dragon played a key role in its evolution, and also its conditions now!" Rickywas shocked when he heard this. What a marvelous discovery it was indeed!
