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 dense cloud. 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 position in their respective caves, Ricky and his two companions were already in the state of refining fire essence

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

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

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

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

During his stay in the Casting Guild for over a month, Ricky had already reached the peak of the fifth 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 Blood Purification, 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 secretive nature, is really quite exceptional, ' Ricky thought to himself, feeling a wave of emotions well up inside him.

Besides, the Flame Zone inside the regained spiritual meridian had once again undergone a change after he reached the sixth grade of Blood Purification. It seemed the originally boundless Flame Zone 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 appear naturally! But... I just don't know when the Supreme Skills inside the Flame Zone will appear,” Ricky murmured to himself.

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

He finally felt hunger pangs after some time, and so fished out some beast meat from his storage bag 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 hurriedly exited their caves and began to feast. The meat was so delicious that Kayla was too busy eating ravenously to mind her decorum.

"Ricky, you are so good at roasting meat. You can open a restaurant in the Casting City and your business 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,” Ricky joked 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 the seventh grade of Blood Purification and Theo, the eighth grade. To a certain extent, they would be able 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 and begin to look for opportunities.

It was at this moment that Theo brought out a jade tablet from his breast pocket. It was deep maroon 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 into the 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'll catch 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 been born 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 that they had possibly reached the eighth grade of Blood Purification and were close to the top level of the eighth grade.

"Kayla, Ricky, these are Pompeo and Aiden. They are known as two geniuses among the young disciples 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 know of her already! And of course this is Ricky, who hasn't heard about him? A once in a century casting genius!"

"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, to be more precise, it's rumors about your manual. You know, Ricky, you should take some precautions with 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 life style! What will you do if those assassins allocate some time to kill you and take the manual away from 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 the Earth 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 you were and wait for us?" Theo asked, quite confused.

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

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

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

"Tell me about the Scorching Dragon Valley," Ricky said. He did not know enough to understand the expressions 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 Scorching Dragon 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 Scorching Dragon Valley was soaked with the Great Dragon's blood! After tens of thousands of years of evolution, the blood of the Fire Dragon has totally seeped into the soil of the Scorching Dragon Valley...

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!" Ricky was shocked when he heard this. What a marvelous discovery it was indeed!
