"Holy cow, is this Wan Lei? Is this the legendary Wan Lei? He's actually this strong? He's already at the Mahayana stage? He can actually withstand four portions of the Heavenly Tribulation?!"
Qing Feng's exclamations were incessant, the scene before him was utterly shocking.
"Isn't that right? This is the legendary Wan Lei, how can we two small rogue cultivators compare?
Alas, we're both lightning cultivators, why am I so much worse than Wan Lei? I'm over five hundred years old, and I'm still just a minor Nascent Soul. Wan Lei is only in his early twenties, and he's already broken through to Mahayana. He truly is the greatest of all time."
Real Master Tao Dian stroked his beard and sighed with genuine emotion.
"Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu came out of the Fire Immortal Secret Realm. Why didn't we see them in the Fire Immortal Secret Realm?"
"Not just them, didn't we also not see Brother Jingzhe and his wife?
However, I heard that Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu are targeted every time they enter a secret realm, so it's normal that we didn't see them.
Perhaps their secret realm is different from ours. Look, didn't they come out months later than us this time?"
"You're right. After all, they are heavenly prodigies, no, now they are great cultivators. It's normal for them to be different from us common folk.
Speaking of the Fire Immortal Secret Realm, it was truly perilous. That boundless sea of fire was truly vast. We searched for treasures there with great caution and lost so many people.
Those treasures were collected by that slumbering fire phoenix. We were truly brave to dare to pilfer treasures right under the fire phoenix's nose."
"Forget it. Those treasures were just things the fire phoenix casually discarded and didn't care about. You took them, and it didn't care.
However, I can't understand how such a terrifying fire phoenix was so badly injured after going out to fight. I really don't know who could have injured it like that.
That fire phoenix was at least at the Tribulation Transcendence stage, right?"
"Exactly. After the fire phoenix returned, heavily injured, it killed so many people from the Lei Feng Realm in a fit of rage. Fortunately, we ran fast and were teleported out by an immortal, otherwise, we might have also died in that sea of fire."
"Alas, I still feel scared. I'll never go to that secret realm again.
Alas, Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu have finished their Heavenly Tribulation. Let's go ask them if they've seen Brother Jingzhe and his wife."
"Do you really want to go? I heard that Wan Lei is capricious, violent, and frequently robs others. He's very ferocious. If we go, won't we be killed by him?"
"It won't happen. Wan Lei is my fellow townsman, after all. We have no enmity with him, and we're just asking for information. If we lower our stance, what reason would he have to rob us?
Besides, with our meager possessions, are we even worthy of Wan Lei robbing us?
This is our last hope. We searched for so long in the sea of fire and waited here for so long, but we haven't found Brother Jingzhe. If we don't go ask Wan Lei, we'll never find them."
"Alas, yes. If even Wan Lei hasn't seen them, then there's truly no hope. They might really have died in the sea of fire."
"Alright, let's go."
Qing Feng and Tao Dian, who were on the distant hillside, got up and were about to fly towards the crater to find Wan Lei when suddenly, the magma in the crater surged upwards, attacking Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu in the sky.
Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu in mid-air immediately retreated. The magma condensed into a humanoid form, creating a giant of flames.
From the center of the flame giant's forehead emerged a young cultivator dressed in red.
The cultivator had a handsome appearance, with a hint of flirtatiousness between his brows. He had a feminine look, and a hint of a mocking smile played on his lips, his eyes looking at Wan Lei and Fang Xiaoyu mockingly.
Wan Lei's eyes narrowed sharply. The pressure emanating from this person was all too familiar. Not long ago, he had been fighting evenly with three such opponents.
This is a Tribulation Transcendence old monster!
Upon closer inspection, he didn't recognize him. Well, he must be the villain.
Thinking this, Wan Lei felt a slight surge of excitement. This villain was too considerate, coming to give him battle achievements right after his breakthrough. Such a good thing was hard to find even with a lantern, and he had stumbled upon it like this.
It seems that being arrogant in the past had its benefits. He angered the enemy to the point where they couldn't help but attack him, only to find...
"Holy cow, why are you so strong?!"
As for whether he could defeat the opponent, Young Master Lei hadn't really thought about it. If he couldn't win, couldn't he just run? Losing to a Tribulation Transcendence old monster was not shameful.
The more Wan Lei thought about it, the more excited he became, and the more unbearable it felt. Although he wasn't in the Central Region most of the time, every time he returned, he could always show off brilliantly. He simply loved this place.
Wan Lei sized up the villain before him, looking at his flippant eyes, playful lips, and arrogant aura that disdained the heavens and earth. He found him pleasing to the eye no matter how he looked at him.
Yes, that's the feeling. You show off first, the higher you show off, the harder I'll step on you later.
Young Master Lei found the villain more and more pleasing to the eye, like a man and woman on a blind date who grew fonder the more they looked, yet he was also a little shy and embarrassed to speak.
Young Master Lei, as the one who liked him the most, really wanted to ask the other party, how old are you? What's your name? What's your strength? Whose descendant are you? What's your element? Your birth date...
Finally, after a moment of silence, and without knowing how much the female party... ah no, the villain, whom Young Master Lei had imagined and gone off-topic about, spoke.
"Wan Lei, Fang Xiaoyu, tsk tsk tsk, truly remarkable. The last time you appeared, you were still cultivators at the lower level of Nascent Soul. Now, after not seeing each other for such a short time, you've both transcended tribulation and broken through to the Mahayana stage. Congratulations, congratulations."
The red-clothed youth smiled and looked Wan Lei up and down, becoming more and more satisfied.
The pleasure of crushing and nipping heavenly prodigies in the bud was simply too exhilarating.
After all, he himself was once a young heavenly prodigy.
The thought of crushing and tormenting a prodigy who appeared once in tens of millions of years in the Central Region made the red-clothed youth so comfortable that he couldn't help but groan and tremble.
Wan Lei, on the other hand, became more and more satisfied.
The thought that he could counter-kill an established Tribulation Transcendence expert in the Central Region, and thus, he, Wan Lei, would ascend to the heavens, gain a foothold in the cultivation world, and stand proudly among the top ranks of the Lei Feng Realm, made Wan Lei's heart itch, and he wished he could defeat the opponent immediately.
These two people simultaneously believed that the other was weak and they were strong.
To say there was no telepathic connection would be unbelievable.
And for two people who hit it off so well, only one was destined to leave here alive. It was truly a pity to think about it.
They confirmed their gazes, both wanting to kill the other.
Fang Xiaoyu frowned, looking at Wan Lei with surprise, then at the villain, and then back at Wan Lei.
Then, she shifted a few steps to the right.
Yes, she remembered the foul custom of those who attacked people in the Great Jin world...
