Sword Emperor

A towering mountain peak stood silently in the horizon. It was unknown how many years had passed since the birth of these towering mountains. Every single one of them was thousands of feet tall and was at least thirty feet thick. Clouds and smoke lingered within them. Occasionally, some spirit beasts could be seen living in the forest, as if they were living in a paradise on earth.    

    

However, at this moment, from afar, one could see that the towering mountain peak suddenly underwent a change. Especially on the mountain peak, one could clearly see a bloody flame quietly being born.    

    

Then, his gaze suddenly shifted. The towering mountain gradually enlarged in front of his eyes. Slowly, he could see a figure sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain.    

    

As the distance between them got closer and closer, it could be clearly seen that this person was the Sun Bing who had destroyed the entire Gu family.    

    

Ever since the Gu Clan had fallen in Sun Bing's hands, word of mouth had spread. In just a few days, all the cultivators within a few million mile radius had learned about this matter.    

    

Immediately, the pressure that they had suffered had filled their hearts with anger. Even though there were still some disciples sent by the Gu family to guard the place, they had fallen in the hands of a group of furious Humans after the destruction of the Gu family.    

    

As for Sun Bing, he would use this opportunity to obtain all the treasures of the Gu Clan.    

    

Even though Sun Bing's wealth was already quite shocking. However, after seeing the wealth of a holy land, Sun Bing couldn't help but be speechless. Especially this time, Sun Bing had also gotten a lot of new sharp swords, which could be said to be an amazing joy.    

    

After leaving the Gu family, in order to refine the red lotus karmic fire in his hand as soon as possible, he arrived at the peak of the mountain in a few flashes.    

    

This was because the red lotus karmic fire was a kind of Heavenly Flame that was created by the heaven and earth. It could be said to be the pinnacle of flames. Even though the spiritual nature of the red lotus karmic fire had completely disappeared... Once it was absorbed and refined by Sun Bing, the other party would still feel an inexplicable danger.    

    

It was even possible to resist with all of his strength. In that kind of time, even a slight movement could cause Sun Bing's meridians to flow backward. Therefore, he had to reduce the danger to the extreme before he could start refining and absorbing it.    

    

After all, no matter what, Sun Bing would never joke about his own life.    

    

Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Sun Bing thought of this method. He could use the power of heaven and earth to resist the heat.    

    

This mountain was found after a long time of searching. The entire mountain was three hundred thousand meters tall. Even in the Shen State, there were more than ninety percent of the mountains.    

    

Although the surface of the mountain was dark green, the temperature on the mountainside had dropped. One could even see the pure white snow. As for the mountain peak, it was filled with ice for ten thousand years. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even Sun Bing could feel a trace of coldness.    

    

It was precisely this kind of place. In addition, Sun Bing had also set up the surrounding mountains. Finally, he had successfully set up a terrain, which could suppress the fire element to the extreme.    

    

In order to better suppress the power of the red lotus karmic fire, Sun Bing didn't even set up any formation around him during the refinement. It was all for the sake of not being hindered.    

    

But even so, the entire refinement process was still extremely dangerous. When the red lotus karmic fire entered his body, Sun Bing could feel a wild and violent energy surging within his meridians. Even the tough meridians were slightly torn apart.    

    

Even after forcefully suppressing it, his next move wasn't as smooth as he had imagined. The violent energy had caused quite a serious injury to Sun Bing.    

    

If it wasn't for the fact that Sun Bing had mastered the 'Nirvana' secret technique, there might have been even more serious consequences.    

    

However, at this moment, after such a long period of hard work, Sun Bing was able to see some light of hope. The violent red lotus karmic fire, with the help of the natural terrain in the outside world and Sun Bing's amazing control ability, finally began to surrender.    

    

Because now, Sun Bing's entire body was covered by the red lotus karmic fire. At this moment, the red lotus karmic fire seemed to want to release its final light, and it grew bigger and bigger behind Sun Bing. Even though they were thousands of miles away, they could still clearly see the changes on the mountain peak.    

    

Not only that, in just a short period of time, the flames within the red lotus karmic fire had spread towards the bottom of the mountain range. The Profound Ice that had existed for countless of years, even ordinary divine weapons would not be able to create a gap in it.    

    

However, as the red lotus karmic fire burned, it actually began to melt. All of a sudden, above the entire mountain peak, rivers appeared one after another. These were all snow water that appeared from the melting of the glaciers.    

    

The ice on the ground disappeared, revealing the black rocks hidden in the deepest part of the mountain. However, the red lotus karmic fire was still spreading downwards. At this moment, not only the ice had melted, but also the towering ancient trees underneath had mysteriously started to emit wisps of fiery light.    

    

As soon as the fire appeared, there was no way to stop it. In an instant, it spread in all directions, and the surrounding temperature rose in an instant.    

    

Tens of thousands of miles away, numerous cultivators including Ancient Clans saw the changes on the mountain in the distance, because in their eyes, the mountain was burning.    

    

Such a strange phenomenon caused the eyes of many cultivators and Ancient Clans to sparkle with excitement. They thought, "Something that can unleash such power must be a precious treasure."    

    

After that, without any hesitation, the cultivators and Ancient Clans in the Humans started to gather towards the mountain peak. As time passed, more and more people started to head towards the mountain peak.    

    

At this moment, Sun Bing was at the most critical moment. The entire red lotus karmic fire seemed to have been refined and absorbed by him. Numerous Meaning of Dao appeared in his mind. In just a short moment, Sun Bing's comprehension of the profound meaning of fire had improved.    

    

He had even reached 90% of the level, even the level of Dao. It was just a step away.    

    

At this moment, what made Sun Bing the most cautious was that the Karmic Fire in the red lotus karmic fire had transcended the level of ordinary flames. His comprehension was also stuck at this moment. Numerous Meaning of Dao appeared in front of him. Even Sun Bing felt a trace of anxiety in his heart.    

    

This was because he could clearly sense that following the spreading of the Burning Heaven Flame and the disappearance of the ice mountain, the suppressive force of the heaven and earth towards the red lotus karmic fire was slowly reducing.    

    

At this moment, the remaining instinct of the red lotus karmic fire could even carry out its final struggle.    

    

Fortunately, at this moment, Sun Bing finally found a breakthrough point. His mind was immersed in the Meaning of Dao that belonged solely to the Karmic Fire. For a moment, he had completely forgotten about everything else. Following that, his comprehension of the profound meaning of fire began to increase at a speed visible to the naked eye.    

    

Initially, the image of the red lotus karmic fire had only wrapped around Sun Bing. But now, it had even integrated into Sun Bing's flesh and blood, and into Sun Bing's spiritual soul. All of it had turned into Sun Bing's own comprehension.    

    

After an unknown amount of time, the Qi on Sun Bing's body was strangely stable. Although he was still a Sixth Level of the Life and Death Stage, there was an unimaginable sharpness contained within.    

    

Without a doubt, the red lotus karmic fire had been successfully grasped by Sun Bing. Immediately, Sun Bing slowly opened his eyes and found that cracks had appeared on the black rock underneath him.    

    

He looked around and what he saw shocked him even more, because the green mountains and green water had disappeared in such a short period of time.    

    

On the contrary, it had turned into a barren desert. With Sun Bing's eyesight, he could see that there was not a trace of green in the surrounding ten thousand miles. There was not even water. The ground was dry, and cracks appeared one after another.    

    

Compared to the bird singing and the fragrance of flowers, it was like a natural chasm. Sun Bing's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
