Chapter 620
Mo Wen knew that something big must have happened in the Fire Domain . He dived into the magma ocean to follow the Giant Crocodile Beast King .
Although the Giant Crocodile Beast King's figure was huge, its speed was astonishing . After Mo Wen dived into the sea of lava, the silhouette of the Giant Crocodile Beast King was already disappearing from his sight .
The monstrous beasts of the Fire Domain lived in this environment . In the magma ocean, they were like fish in the water . It was very difficult for human ancient martial art practitioners to keep up with them .
However, Mo Wen was well-versed in tracking techniques . He could sense the aura emanating from the Giant Crocodile Beast King as he trailed behind it . As long as the Giant Crocodile Beast King's aura continued to be perceptible, he would be able to keep following the creature .
Right now, the Giant Crocodile Beast King was in a hurry, so it was not bothering to hide its aura . This made it much more straightforward for Mo Wen to track it .
They dived deeper into the magma ocean . Mo Wen discovered that the further they descended, the more monstrous beasts they encountered . Large groups of monstrous beasts were heading in the same direction as them . Almost all of the monstrous beasts had a common destination .
In normal circumstances, the monstrous beasts would treat Mo Wen as prey when they encountered him . Right now, however, it seemed as though they had not even seen him . They passed right by him, ignoring him completely .
Mo Wen felt shocked . The destination of these monstrous beasts was obviously the same as that of the Giant Crocodile Beast King . The number of monstrous beasts kept increasing, all of them heading in the same direction . In a short amount of time, tens of thousands of monstrous beasts had gathered to form a wave of beasts . The sight of such an imposing gathering was astonishing .
"I'm afraid something big is happening in the Fire Domain . "
Mo Wen was secretly surprised . What could have attracted all the monstrous beasts in the Fire Domain?
Meanwhile, the group from Gao Clan was making its way through the Fire Domain . It had been three days since they had first encountered Mo Wen .
In the past three days, the members of Gao Clan had not been able to locate the whereabouts of the spiritual fire . Instead, they had been blocked by and chased by a few Beast Kings .
Fortunately, there was a Martial Arts Grandmaster among the members of Gao Clan, as well as a profound level weapon with terrifying power . For the past few days, although they had encountered danger quite a few times, they were all still safe and sound .

"Grandfather, the Fire Domain is so big . Finding Mo Wen will most likely not be easy . "
Above the surface of the magma ocean, the group was flying in the air . They made no effort to conceal themselves . A few monstrous beasts poked their heads out of the lava sea, only to submerge immediately once they detected the aura of the people above them .
Jun Wulei sighed . For these past few days, aside from finding traces of the spiritual fire, another mission that they had was to find Mo Wen .
He had not expected that his own grandfather would disregard all reason and attack Mo Wen . In the end, he had scared Mo Wen away .
In the vast Fire Domain, finding Mo Wen again was easier said than done .
"That brat is as cowardly as a mouse . I was just testing him and had yet to do anything to him . And yet he was scared to the point that he doesn't dare to show his face . "
Gao Hanshan quietly snorted . He, a dignified Martial Arts Grandmaster, had allowed a youth to escape from him . He considered it a disgrace that he would never be able to erase .
Jun Wulei gave Gao Hanshan a sideways glance . "Grandfather, you, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, bullied him . Can you really accuse Mo Wen of being cowardly?"
"Little brat, if you are looking to be beaten up, just say it . " Gao Hanshan coldly snorted .
Jun Wulei immediately shrank back, not daring to say anything further .
"Elder brother, Mo Wen is very cunning and is quite capable . If he dares to wander about the Fire Domain alone, he must certainly have some confidence," Gao Clan's third elder Gao Zhi said .
The three elders of Gao Clan were all veterans . They were the same generation as Gao Hanshan, and along with him, were the most important members of the clan .

"If even I cannot catch that brat, others will not be able to either . Under normal circumstances, there should not be any problems . What I am afraid is if he encounters the Beast Kings of the Fire Domain or the mysterious group of people that we encountered before this . "
Gao Hanshan's expression turned serious . Gao Clan did not want to see Mo Wen come to any harm .
"Where did that group of mysterious people come from?" the Gao Clan's second elder said with a frown, his expression turning serious .
"It's hard to say where they are from . Their goal is also certainly the spiritual fire . I hope that Mo Wen does not encounter them . " Gao Hanshan shook his head . He had an inkling about who they might be but did not dare to speculate openly . If that group was who he thought they were, things would most likely get troublesome .
The others nodded their heads . The Fire Domain was so large . The chances of Mo Wen encountering those people were slim .
They had been flying on while talking . Suddenly, the entire surface of the magma ocean shook slightly . A beam of blinding light flashed within its depths, like a star releasing its brightest light .
"Presumptuous . " Gao Hanshan quietly snorted . His facial expression stiffened . A jade light flashed in his hands . The Han Imperial Jade Seal immediately appeared in them .
The next moment, a beam of jade light shot up to the sky, enveloping the group of five Gao Clan members inside .
In the jade light, a hideous dark red chain appeared . The chain was as thick as a grown man's leg and resembled the tail of a giant scorpion . At the end, there was a stinger that was three feet long . Its surface glistened with a dark glow .
The stinger was only a foot away from Jun Wulei . The tip was aimed between his eyes . It released a faint blue chilly mist .
Jun Wulei was so terrified he turned as white as a sheet . He forcefully gulped down a mouthful of saliva . If his grandfather hadn't acted quickly, Jun Wulei would most probably have been killed by the stinger . Everything had happened too quickly; he did not have time to react at all .
"The Fire Scorpion Beast King!"
The face of the second elder of Gao Clan, who was standing beside Jun Wulei, turned serious . He took a step forward and slammed a palm strike onto the Fire Scorpion's stinger that was locked in place .

His palm strike was so powerful that even a piece of steel would even be turned to dust . But the Fire Scorpion stinger only shook slightly and then flew back .
"No wonder the Fire Snake King was at a disadvantage against you all last time . It turns out that you have such a treasure . "
A hoarse voice sounded, gradually reverberating in the surroundings . Then, a huge dark red giant scorpion slowly floated to the surface of the magma ocean . The Giant Scorpion, including its tail, was more than a hundred meters long and tens of meters wide . Its entire body looked slim and refined compared to the other Beast Kings in the Fire Domain . Its hundred-meter long figure was enough to prove that it was a very terrifying king of the mythical beasts . The Fire Scorpion Beast King was ranked amongst the top five of the Fire Domain's Seven Major Beast Kings .
"You are one deadly scorpion . "
Gao Hanshan's face was sullen . The Fire Scorpion Beast King's ambush had been so sudden . If his reaction had been slightly slower, Jun Wulei would most likely have killed . Also, this Fire Scorpion Beast King was very intelligent . It knew to start with the person with the lowest cultivation . If it had ambushed the others, its chances of success would have been lower .
"Human invaders, the Fire Domain is not a place you should have come to . Those of you who dare to covet the spiritual fire will all die . "
The Fire Scorpion Beast King let out a sharp cry . The sound formed a wave and traveled a great distance . After a short while, Fire Scorpions peeked out from the surface of the surrounding sea of lava . Fire Scorpions peeked out . They were packed densely . At first glance, there seemed to be an endless number of them .
The Fire Scorpions were a variety of sizes . The smaller ones were just the size of a fist, while the larger ones were tens of meters long . Their cultivation was no weaker than a pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm human ancient martial art practitioner .
With so many Fire Scorpions surrounding them, the members of Gao Clan felt their skin crawl . With so many monstrous beasts, they would not be able to kill them all in a short amount of time, even if the monstrous beasts just stood there and did not resist .
Fire Scorpions were monstrous beasts who lived in groups in the Fire Domain . They reproduced very rapidly and were collectively ruled by the Fire Scorpion Beast King . Once the Fire Scorpion Beast King summoned the Fire Scorpion army, anyone who encountered it would be in a difficult situation .
"Breakout!"
Gao Hanshan laughed bitterly . It was impossible for them to stay here and slaughter the monstrous beast army . If they did they would be guaranteed to die in this place sooner or later . When faced with such a situation, there was only one possible course of action ꟷ they had to break out .
The Han Imperial Jade Seal in Gao Hanshan's hand released beams of bright light . The beams of light gathered together and securely enveloped the group .
Then, something that Gao Hanshan had not expected occurred . The Fire Scorpion Beast King suddenly let out a long, piercing roar . Its tail suddenly swept out, and it turned to dive into the magma ocean . In the blink of an eye, it had disappeared .
The Fire Scorpions floating on the surface of the magma ocean also dived into the magma ocean one by one . In a short while, they had all retreated .
In a few breaths, the surface of the magma ocean was empty and quiet . The scene from before felt as though it was just an illusion .
"What's going on?" Gao Hanshan was baffled . Why had the Fire Scorpion Beast King suddenly retreated? He did not believe that he had the ability to scare away such a mythical beast . Something else must have happened .
"The Fire Scorpion Beast King seemed to be very anxious as it left . Could something big have happened?" the Gao Clan third elder asked curiously .
"Something must have happened in the Fire Domain . Otherwise, the Fire Scorpion Beast King would not have left so hastily . Could it be related to the spiritual fire?"
"It is very likely to be related to the spiritual fire . If something has not happened to the spiritual fire, why would the dignified Beast Kings be so anxious?"
The few members of Gao Clan glanced at each other . They all immediately realized that this matter may be related to the spiritual fire . They had searched for it for many days in the Fire Domain, but they still had not found the whereabouts of the spiritual fire . It was highly possible that others had found the spiritual fire and seeking to obtain it .
"Let us see what's going on . " Gao Hanshan made a prompt decision . The Han Imperial Jade Seal in his hand released a beam of jade light . The light retracted and bound the five of them together . Then, with Gao Hanshan in the lead, they dived into the magma ocean with a splash .
Mo Wen was still following the Giant Crocodile Beast King's aura . He did not really need to because countless monstrous beasts were surging towards a deep part of the magma ocean . Mo Wen just had to follow these monstrous beasts .
He was sandwiched in between a large group of monstrous beasts but they continued to ignore him . They paid him no attention even when he overtook them . Right now, all of the monstrous beasts had only one goal in mind, and that was to rush to the depths of the magma ocean .
After had been in the lava sea for approximately an hour and had no idea how deep he was . He was aware that the pressure surrounding him had increased . Even with his cultivation and the strength of his body, it was hard to withstand .
Not far in front of him, he saw something different . There was a large Dark Zone . The Dark Zone covered an area that was a few thousand meters square . The monstrous beasts dived into the Dark Zone and immediately disappeared, as though they had vanished into thin air .
"A Door of Space!" Mo Wen drew in a cold breath . In the Dark Zone, an aura of spatial energy was constantly being emanated . It was a Door of Space that had naturally formed . It was the first time he had seen such a large Door of Space, and it was deep within the magma ocean .
