Chapter 19 - The Power of Flames

'You're awake!' Just as Lin Peng was planning to stand up to see, what the hell was going on, a deep and somewhat playful voice appeared. At that instant, Lin Peng looked around with a wary heart.

　　It was then that the grandeur of this palace could truly be discovered. Just such a place that looked like a throne chamber was so huge. Perhaps ... at least tens of thousands of people can meet here without seeming crowded!

　　Behind them, was a huge relief wall. The carvings on it were extremely vivid, seemingly, depicting war. And before the cauldron in front of them, there were huge tables and chairs. Each one, it seemed, was at least two metres up and down. Such large seats, for whom?

　　At the same time, on both sides, there were even sofas, palace lamps and the like, everything. At least, Lin Peng was a bit dazzled, while not being able to see what some of the things were for.

Of course, after looking around, only to find that there is no one generally quiet. Then ... where did that voice come from?

'Looking for me?' Another sound appeared, and at the same time, the large cauldron in front of them suddenly trembled. Immediately, a humanoid figure directly composed of fire slowly rose up. At the very least, it was also two zhang tall, while a pair of eyes that shone with a pale yellow light stared at Lin Peng.

Being stared at like that, the heart seemed to chill a little. However, the body was indeed clearly hot. It seemed that the heat emitted by the fire was on the verge of melting itself. In such a huge chamber, it was also a flame monster that was staring at itself, which really made one's hair stand on end.

　　'Hehe ... is not bad, after absorbing the power of the Flame Bird, he has actually directly promoted to the stage of a Great Demon!' The Flame Giant said leisurely after faintly laughing.

　　However, Lin Peng was full of surprise, so it turns out, this sleep was really not easy. Surprisingly, it was directly promoted!

　　'Hmph, don't be too happy. So what if it's a great demon. It's still the same that can't use flames! Haha ... you kid, that Scorching Ray, instead, gave it a direct release! En, at least, there is still that much talent!'

　　When the Flame Giant spoke once more, it was mainly a blow.

　　Lin Peng deflated his dead face, somewhat discouraged. After all, for such a power, one really wasn't very good at using it. He was clearly not from this world, and he didn't have anyone to teach him, so how could he?

　　'And who are you, how do you know about that bird that only sets fire, oh yes, it's the Flaming Bird. Could it be, it's your war beast!' Lin Peng tilted his head as much as he could, and as a direct consequence of chatting like this, he almost fell over because he tilted his head too much.

　　The Flame Giant, as if sympathetic to Lin Peng, unexpectedly slowly shrunk. At a second glance, it was just over two metres.

　　'Hehehe ... Flaming Bird is just a small pet of this divine temple, not much of a war beast. En ... how to say it, also because of you, it promoted this time. Hehehe ... as a reward, I want to teach you how to use flames!'

　　The flame giant said as if it was smiling wickedly, and a pair of eyes that emitted a pale yellow light spiralled and lit up.

　　Boom ... The originally quiet cauldron suddenly rumbled as if it had exploded. Immediately ... the flame giant floated up in the air, the burning flame, the temperature was very high, hissing!

　　'Ah? What does it mean?' Lin Peng scratched the back of his head somewhat puzzled, looking at the Flame Giant that flew directly into mid-air.

　　Speaking of which, the space within this great hall seemed a little too big. There was at least a twenty metres up and down. The Flame Giant that had now become smaller, in this space, seemed to really look like a God of Flame flying like the sky.

　　'Look at your understanding of flames, it's still really bad. In terms of that magic and such! En... I'm now suppressed into the strength of an Archdemon, you come and attack me and try!' The Flame Giant didn't bullshit Lin Peng much about anything, and after his eyes lit up, he said.

　　Lin Peng's thick sword brows wrinkled slightly, a little less than happy. Still really thought he was a god, even gods had weaknesses. Saying that, he pointed his finger towards the flame giant. The scorching rays of light that originally needed to be gathered in order to be sent out, directly shot towards the flame giant.

　　Of course, it was also obvious that such a scorching ray did not have that kind of power.

　　However, when the scorching rays were about to shoot into the Flame Giant's body. He directly waved his hand, and that original scorching ray of light, surprisingly, just followed his hand in two circles, and then, instead, shot downwards towards himself.

　　Lin Peng's eyes glared as his body dodged to avoid the strike. At the same time, the scorching light ray braked at once when it was about to touch the ground. It gradually dissipated into the air, as if, it had never appeared.

　　This hand alone made Lin Peng somewhat surprised. Is it really ... the power of an Archdemon?

　　'Flame is one of the several elements with the most powerful attacks in the world. Of course ... actually, he's fast!' The Flame Giant stared at Lin Peng and said. Lin Peng also nodded, if it was powered by flames, it really was the quickest thing.

　　'So, in the case of someone with such a physique, then ... first learn to attack after comprehending the true power of flames! A true attack, an attack without defence. Attacks that can make people die directly!'

　　After saying four attacks in succession, the Flame Giant's eyes suddenly flashed. It directly turned into a fiery red figure, and before he realised what was going on, Lin Peng flew backwards as if his chest bone had been shattered by a huge force.

　　With a bang, he hit the wall behind him, and after slowly sliding down, he bitterly laughed, 'You ... won't be the one who doesn't want to teach me! Ouch, it hurts!' While stroking his chest, he sat down directly like this with some fear.

　　'If you really put out your full strength, you would have died long ago! En... just now, I was taking the power of the flame and gathering it directly in my feet and fists, so the speed up was inevitable!'

　En ... Lin Peng had a flash of light in his head, and it seemed, that was really what happened. Remembering that time when he was being chased by the beast tide, it was the time when he suddenly let the power of the fire flow to his feet, so, in the end, his speed increased and escaped into Dark Moon City.

　　'Hehe, you're very smart, got it!' Looking at the thoughtful Lin Peng, the Flame Giant nodded and said with a smile.

　　Lin Peng nodded slightly, seeming to understand somewhat. When he turned to look at the Flame Giant, in his hand, a weapon in the form of a battle sword appeared. It was blazing with flames.

　　No... exactly, this blade, was originally composed of flames.

　　'The power just now was just elemental assistance. However, this is the real elemental battle. We ... need to go and control the elements, so, we must catch him. Just like this!' The Flame Giant tightened the Flame Battle Blade in his hand and suddenly slashed in the air towards Lin Peng.

　　Originally, the difference between the two was at least more than thirty metres, but in an instant, the flames seemed to break through such a distance and came in front of Lin Peng.

　　With a boom ... whirling and disappearing into the air, once again, Lin Peng froze!

　　'Elemental, it is simple to say, but it is very difficult for those who really manipulate it well. But ... having learnt to manipulate a small amount of elements, at the very least, below the Daemon King level, one is definitely an expert!' The Flame Giant said once again.

　　Lin Peng's heart, all of a sudden, heated up. This fellow, it seemed that he was really passing on his true skills to himself!

　　Hehehe, he smiled, stood up, and started learning with all his heart.

　　...

　　Meanwhile, unlike Lin Peng's side, Nadas and Ray's side. The two had already waited for three days in the middle of this earthen fortress, and at this time, the sky, all of which was flooded with the white of a fish, seemed to be about to reveal the red moon once again.

　　A huge ball of meat was scuttled on a war knife, a blazing fire grilled, emitting a tantalising aroma.

　　'Fortunately ... there is such a snake demon in, otherwise, we must starve to death. Lord Lin Peng is also really something, to wait, also find us a safer place. Such a place, in addition to those Demon King level demonic beasts come back, that demonic beast with brain problem will directly create in! If it wasn't for this snake demon, it really would have died too.' Nadas chanted. On one side, his eyes brightened up a little, after eating a lot of this snake demon's meat in the last few meals, he actually still harboured such a strong power. So, after a little bit of cultivation, it felt like it somewhat increased his power.

　　At this time, eating this once again, would there be a breakthrough? Anyway, it seemed like Lei was directly breaking through. These three days, it was cultivation plus eating snake meat. In just three days, Ray had directly broken through to a high level demon.

　　One ... is very hopeful, right?

　　The corner of Nadas' mouth hooked, looking at Ray, who had directly interrupted his meditation, a little depressed. Anyway, in these three days, it was all about his own roasted meat that this little guy ate. Then ... he broke through, and as a result, he didn't break through.

　　'Lord Nadas ... Do you think that Lord Lin Peng, will he be tricked by that flaming bird?' After the result of the snake meat given by Nadas, a bite of Ray said with some concern.

　　'It should ... not be possible! We've entered this abyss, no matter what, it's been almost a month! From the time Lord Lin Peng defected to Lord Duke until now ... it should be almost two months. I have not really seen, he has suffered a loss! Even Lundy, he still died as usual!' Although Nadas said this on his lips, he was still a little worried in his heart.

　　Lei nodded and turned to say, 'You start cultivating, perhaps, a breakthrough is imminent. I'll just clean up!'

　　Nadas immediately nodded and entered into cultivation. A strand of power that seemed to be very thick, slowly began to rotate within Nadas' body. Turning, it turned into his own power. At the same time, the red moon shone somewhat reddish in the sky and slowly rose.

　　The sky ... was once again bright! The fourth day had begun!
