The Supreme God of Martial Arts
Chapter 4990 The Fire Bead

"Okay.

You're right, Cain. That makes perfect sense

The fire source beast has strong combat power because he uses the special environment of theEight Fires Valley to his advantage.

Now, all we have to do is uncover the weakness of that environment and we can deal with the firesource beast. This will make it so much easier.

Cain, don't rush your deduction. We are not in a hurry.

We have a lot of time. It's better to wait so that our plan will be perfect,”

one of the Lords of Darkness said. The others nodded in agreement because they had no reason todoubt his words.

In the darkness race, the wizards didn't have strong combat skills but their deduction ability wasincomparable. Every wizard was resourceful. So much so that the darkness race turned to them toguide their actions most of the time.

During the war with the reincarnation race, the wizards of the darkness race had played a veryimportant role.

Cain, the oldest and the most powerful wizard in the darkness race, was more respected than otherwizards.

The three Lords of Darkness weren't cautious about asking him for help when they needed it.

Back in the Eight Fires Valley,

time was flying by.

Under the guidance of the fire source beast, Austin had spent years cultivating the fire control skill.Finally, he managed to gain the ability to control two kinds of sacred fires at the same time.

Austin couldn't stop smiling as he thought of all the progress he had already made.

Now, he could use two kinds of sacred fires at the same time to fight his enemies. The power wasamazing.

But, he still had a long way to go. Austin’s strength was much lower than the fire source beast's.Being able to control two kinds of sacred fires at the same time would not allow him to defeat a firesource beast who could do the same.

The two of them could be compared to a strong adult and a three-year-old child holding the samesword. The power that they could unleash wouldn't be the same.

When Austin and the fire source beast controlled two kinds of sacred fires, the power producedwould differ greatly.

But even so, Austin's combat effectiveness had grown with his mastery of controlling two kinds ofsacred fires.

"Great work, Austin! Now it's time to practice more and make it so you can control three kinds ofsacred fires at the same time,"

the fire source beast praised, smiling with satisfaction at Austin's progress.

Over the next few days, he got to work teaching Austin the steps he would need to control threekinds of sacred fires simultaneously.

After a few years, Austin had made great progress and could proficiently control three kinds ofsacred fires at the same time.

Time had moved so fast

that decades had passed by unnoticed.

Finally, Austin was done with his practice and had gained control of eight kinds of sacred fires."You have successfully mastered the fire-controlling skill that I taught you.

You're really talented at controlling fire!

I'm a fire source beast and back when I was learning, my progress didn't move as fast as yours did!"the fire source beast exclaimed.

"Okay. Now that that's done, you can continue shaping your skill,"

the fire source beast added.

"Thank you for teaching me,”

Austin said, bowing slightly towards him.

Even though he had only possessed the fire-controlling skill for a short period of time, Austinunderstood how precious it was.

It was the secret skill of the fire source beast race. Normally, it wouldn't fall into the hands ofoutsiders.

Excluding the fire source beasts, there weren't many creatures out there who would ever get theopportunity to cultivate it. Austin felt extremely grateful.

"Don't be so polite. You are my friend!"

the fire source beast said with a smile.

Over the following days, Austin explored the Eight Fires Valley, trying to learn more about the eightsacred fires.

When Austin had first arrived in the Eight Fires Valley, he had been too weak to face the eightsacred fires directly. He had needed to use the Memory Bridge and the road of reincarnation tokeep himself from being burned alive.

Back then, he wouldn't have been able to resist one of the eight kinds of sacred fires, let alone eight.Now, Austin was free to wander in the Eight Fires Valley without being harmed.

He had no reason to dodge the eight sacred fires anymore.

On the contrary, while he stood among the flames of the eight fires, Austin felt like a fish swimmingin water. He felt unhindered and unprecedentedly happy.

He waved his hand and a large number of extremely hot flames gathered in the surrounding spaceand grew upwards into a burning wall of fire.

This fire wall had been formed by eight kinds of sacred fires and it had enough burning power toturn hundreds to ashes.

Austin estimated that ordinary gods of chaos would be too intimidated to fight against the fire wallhead on.

They would do anything to avoid being burned to a pile of ashes.

"Wow! This makes me so powerful!"

Austin nodded with satisfaction, staring up at his fire wall.

For the next little while, Austin remained in the Eight Fires Valley and continued to practice the fire-controlling skill.

After a few years, Austin became more proficient at controlling the fires, and the power he couldunleash was getting stronger.

But not long after, Austin began to encounter the shortcomings of his fire-controlling skill.

"As long as I am in the Eight Fires Valley, my current fire-controlling skill will give me a good shotwhen fighting the ordinary gods of chaos,”

Austin murmured to himself as he felt the eight kinds of sacred fires blazing all around him.

"It's a pity that I can't stay in the Eight Fires Valley forever. I will have to leave soon.

When that happens, I won't have these eight kinds of sacred fires and my fire-controlling skill won'tbe able to display its true power."

Austin sighed and slumped his shoulders.

As Austin pouted, the fire source beast began approaching him from the distance.

"Here, Austin. I have a gift for you,"

the fire source beast said as he reached the spot where Austin was standing. With a sharp wave ofhis hand, a red bead was revealed.

The bead emitted a strong fire nature energy

and it was engraved with several mysterious runes that looked like ancient totems of fire nature."What's this?"

Austin asked as he closely examined the bead in front of him.

"It's a Fire Bead and it's equivalent to the internal core of our fire source beast race,”

the fire source beast explained.

Legendary beasts could all produce internal cores in their bodies

and these cores contained the purest energy.

"This internal core was left by an elder of our fire source beast race after he died.

I have kept it for a long time, and now that I'm so advanced, I can't gain as much from it. I want togive it to you,”

the fire source beast added.

"What exactly does it do?"

Austin asked, looking up at the fire source beast.

"This Fire Bead is the essence of our fire source beast race. It has a lot of uses.

One of the most important functions you can use is the storage of the eight sacred fires. You cankeep them all in this bead.

When you replace yourself stuck in a future fight, you can release them,"

the fire source beast explained.
