Chapter 588: Heavenly Fire Dad, We've Missed You So Much!
Chapter 588: Heavenly Fire Daddy, We Missed You So Much!
"It's actually the reflection of an ancient evil god... He Yiming, how did you provoke such a sinister thing?" Heartflame, the Flame Demon Lord of the Heavenly Fire Prison, slowly spoke as he looked at He Yiming.
"Thanks for your help, Senior Heartflame!" He Yiming had actually considered using the Star-Shifting Technique to escape just now. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Heartflame, the Flame Demon Lord, had awakened.
Heartflame was truly extraordinary!
Moreover, it seemed...
Heartflame was much stronger now than before!
"Heavenly Fire Daddy is awake?"
"Daddy!"
"We missed you so much!"
...
Seeing Heartflame, the Flame Demon Lord, appear, the third-test newcomers immediately knelt down in unison. They were all moved to tears, crying and shouting "Daddy" with great excitement. It was quite a scene.
"Pff... Shameless!" The first and second-test experts were all spitting blood, utterly speechless.
Damn, they used to call themselves dads all the time, and now that Heavenly Fire is awake, he's their big daddy? So does that make them the little daddies now? This was just too much...
"Freaking hell, are these guys even more shameless than me?" Beef Noodle Soup was dumbfounded.
However, at this moment...
"Boom!" With a point in the void, He Yiming caused Beef Noodle Soup to explode right on the spot.
In the next moment, after Beef Noodle Soup revived, he looked down and exclaimed with excitement, "Hahaha, I've turned back into a human! I've turned back into a human! I can be a human again!" He marveled at his tender, white hands.
Everyone: ???
Wait, you were never human before?
Ahem...
"It's like this..."
"He's my disciple. He disguised himself as a Pippi Shrimp in the Chaotic Star Sea, but unexpectedly, he was corrupted by the power of this... reflection of an ancient evil god. He truly became a Pippi Shrimp. I tried to expel this malevolent power, but nearly suffered a backlash. It was thanks to Senior Heartflame's intervention!" He Yiming briefly explained the process.
"The Chaotic Star Sea holds countless secrets, and many of them are so profound that even I, the Flame Demon Lord, dare not delve too deep into it. Even if a Nascent Divinity expert were to enter the Chaotic Star Sea, a slight mistake could lead to their demise. I've seen a Nascent Divinity expert perish deep within the Chaotic Star Sea before!" Heartflame, the Flame Demon Lord, slowly said.
A chill ran down He Yiming's spine.
Could it be that the person Senior Heartflame was referring to was the true master of the Sea Tribe Palace, Senior Cangxuan? The one who went to the Heavenly Compass Divine Island's secret realm and never returned.
It was very likely that he had died inside.
"Congratulations, Senior Heartflame, on your successful evolution and increased strength!" Only now did He Yiming express his congratulations.
"Indeed, I have these sons to thank!" Heartflame, the Flame Demon Lord, nodded and looked satisfied as he gazed at the ten thousand sons before him.
The more he looked at these little guys, the more fond of them he became.
They were mischievous and rascally, bouncing around—how adorable!
"Peak of Heavenly Pill?" Heartflame, the Flame Demon Lord, turned his head to glance at He Yiming and couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
Heartflame remembered that before he went into slumber, He Yiming's cultivation had just broken through to the Heavenly Pill Realm, not too long ago!
How much time had passed since then? Not even three months, right?
And he was already at the peak of the Heavenly Pill Realm?
The speed of his cultivation advancement was terrifying.
"Heavenly Pill Initial Stage? Sea Wheel's Peak... 31 Devil Marks?" Heartflame, the Flame Demon Lord, shifted his gaze and realized.
The cultivation of these sons had explosively improved, one by one.
With a glance, those at the peak of the Sea Wheel Realm seemed insignificant.
There were over a dozen at the Heavenly Pill Initial Stage.
But the most shocking part was the Devil Marks on these Demon Clan sons. On average, each of them had 24 or 25 Devil Marks, making them all Fifth-Order Demon Clan members. Moreover, their demonic bodies were incredibly formidable, all at the level of the Ten Great Demon Physiques!
The leader of the group even possessed a staggering 31 Devil Marks!
How did these sons cultivate?
Did they have an Emperor guiding their advancement?
How could they improve so quickly?
"Green Emperor's Eternal Body - Perfect Stage?" Heartflame, the Flame Demon Lord, looked at He Yiming's Eternal Body Realm, which had reached the peak of the Heavenly Pill Realm.
That was understandable; after all, He Yiming was the Sect Master, with the integration of divine and demonic powers. His accomplishments were truly impressive!
However...
"Sea Wheel Grand Completion?"
"Sea Wheel Consummate?"
"Heavenly Pill Minor Completion?"
...
Heartflame, the Flame Demon Lord, noticed that all of He Yiming's human disciples had reached extremely astonishing levels in their Eternal Body Realm.
One must know that cultivating the Eternal Body was even more difficult than advancing one's cultivation!
A cultivator with the Green Emperor's Eternal Body could easily reach the Heavenly Pill Realm in just a century.
That was already an extremely fast pace!
However, to cultivate the Eternal Body to the Perfect Stage of the Heavenly Pill Realm was not something that could be achieved in a mere century. A century could only be considered the basic unit!
Even if a power with a Nascent Divinity expert wanted to cultivate a disciple's Eternal Body to the Perfect Stage of the Heavenly Pill Realm, it might cost their entire power's resources and still take thousands of years, if not more!
The keyword was...
Thousands of years!
"Yiming, why have your disciples' Eternal Bodies advanced so rapidly?" Heartflame, the Flame Demon Lord, couldn't help but whisper.
"Um..." What could He Yiming say?
Could he explain that these guys had all gone to the fifth floor of the Exquisite Silt Pagoda, over five thousand of them linking hands to crazily absorb the silt's aura for leveling up?
"Perhaps... my disciples are just... more diligent?" He Yiming coughed and gave a vague answer.
"???" Heartflame, the Flame Demon Lord, was utterly confused.
Diligent?
Talents as rare as a phoenix's feather couldn't become diligent even after a thousand years!
And you're telling me they became diligent?
Heartflame sighed deeply and suddenly had a strange feeling.
Now, perhaps his sons were sheltering him!
But perhaps one day in the future...
When these sons of his became powerful in their own right...
Could they shelter him?
What a wonderful thought!
Ahem, ahem!
"My sons, while I was in slumber, you suffered a lot!"
"But now, I'm awake!"
"You don't need to fear or suffer anymore! I'll protect you all! Go ahead and do whatever you want without worry!" Heartflame, the
Flame Demon Lord, declared loudly.
"Roar, roar, roar! Heavenly Fire Daddy is amazing!"
"I knew it, Heavenly Fire Daddy is the coolest!"
"Ah, ah, ah, with these words from Daddy, I'm content in this lifetime!"
...
The third-test players were teary-eyed and excited, filled with emotion.
Finally, they could be arrogant again!
They could be wild again!
They could show off again!
Haha, hahaha!
"...?" He Yiming was at a loss for words.
Suffered?
What suffering?
During the time you were absent, you have no idea how mischievous your sons were! They used to annoy others all the time, never the other way around!
"Although Senior Heartflame has awakened, my disciples, remember not to overly rely on Senior Heartflame! Work hard to cultivate and improve your strength! That's the true path!" He Yiming calmly reminded them.
"Yes, Brother Yiming!" The third-test players nodded in agreement.
However, secretly in their hearts, they mumbled:
"Naturally, besides my 2.4 Fire Mage Daddy, Ice Mage Daddy, and Roronoa Zoro Daddy, we can't forget the other daddies like me. I want them all!"
"That's right, as much as Heavenly Fire Daddy is awesome, Roronoa Daddy and the others are great too!"
"I won't let go of the 108 Imprint Cards I've collected. Not only won't I let go, but I'll also collect even more!"
...
The third-test players were all experts at making mental calculations.
"Brother Yiming, Brother Yiming, now that I've recovered, can I return these spirit stones..." Beef Noodle Soup felt his human body and then happily approached He Yiming.
"To prevent you from being corrupted again by these spirit stones and treasures, and losing your true self, I'll reluctantly confiscate these items for you!" He Yiming waved his hand and directly collected the five billion spirit stones and various spirit tools and earth tools, storing them all in the Five Elements Small World.
Beef Noodle Soup: ???
What the hell?
