╠ Starry River World ╣

On a certain island...

"Who are you?" The Flame Dragon Emperor looked at Fu Ming and asked. In his era, no one knows that he has escaped with his Divine Soul, even his killer didn't know.

But for some reason, Fu Ming knows everything, he even knows what happened in almost every era. This shocked the Flame Emperor.

Ren Long and Chi Yu were also curious, but they didn't ask anything. It is because they knew that this friend of theirs is mysterious, and his origins are also a mystery.

Fu Ming looked at the soul of Flame Dragon Emperor and smiled, saying: "Just call me Fu Ming. And I'm here to obtain the egg of Nine-headed Flame Dragon."

"No, you can't! That egg is mine, I used my everything to revert the Nine-headed Flame Dragon into an egg. I did so just to rely on it to become strong again when I make a comeback. You can't take it!" Flame Dragon Emperor roared furiously.

Fu Ming didn't say anything. He just sneered and ignored the Flame Dragon Emperor before continue moving forward.

Ren Long and Chi Yu also followed Fu Ming. They turned to look at the Flame Dragon Emperor's soul who was gritting his teeth and sighed. Then they also ignored him.

When they disappeared from Flame Dragon Emperor's sight, the Flame Dragon Emperor muttered: "Do you really think I can't do anything just because I'm a soul? Hmph, you are wrong. Let me show you my trump card."

.....

After walking for two hours, the three of them stopped once again. No one spoke. The three were silent, and Ren Long began looking at his surroundings.

He found other strange patterns kind of revealed the vicissitude of the ancient civilization. It was also worth mentioning that no demonic beast had attacked them after they had reached this place.

At this time, Fu Ming suddenly waved his palm downward and pulled across the air.

"Boom!"

The ocean of lava burst open from the ground. A flaming ball the size of a human head flew up and landed in his palm. He turned and looked at Ren Long and Chi Yu with a smirk on his face and spoke: "This is the Origin Flame Bead. Next, we need to find the Origin Bead of the other four elements. And then, we will head over to the center of this Island. There, we can make use of these five beads to obtain the Nine-headed Flame Dragon's egg."

Fu Ming then stored the Origin Flame Bead safely before leaving with Ren Long and Chi Yu.

On the rest of the journey, whatever they encountered, everything was dealt with by Fu Ming. Fu Ming could deal with any kind of danger with a wave of his hand which greatly surprised everyone.Two hours later, they found the Origin Water Bead.

This Forbidden Island was vast. Other than the lava land, there were lands with other natural landscapes. For example, a frozen land, a mountain forest littered with autumn leaves, etc.

The island was already a secret realm in itself, and it was an extremely huge realm.

Fu Ming eliminated all the demonic beasts they encountered along the way. None of them even managed to touch the edge of their clothing.

Chi Yu was convinced of Fu Ming's prowess and no longer felt afraid. He could even collect some special rocks and plants.

Meanwhile, Ren Long had been observing Fu Ming. He always felt that this guy has changed a lot from the previous time they met. He attempted to use his secret technique secretly, but he still could not see Fu Ming's cultivation stage.

Within four hours, Fu Ming had collected the Origin Beads of all five elements. Then, they headed to the center of the Forbidden Island.

"What comes next is the difficult part!" Fu Ming spoke, then he pointed at Chi Yu and said: "Chi Yu, it is your turn to do the job next."

Chi Yu looked around and was greatly frightened. He didn't expect what Fu Ming is saying. He cried out: "What do you mean?"

Fu Ming smiled and replied: "Why do you think I chose to bring you here? Do you think I did so because we are friends? You are the wrong buddy. Although we are friends, I have a motive behind bringing you here. I brought you here as bait. Don't think I don't know that you can lure demons easily. There is something in your blood that attracts demons very much."

"Don't worry about your safety. As long as I'm here, I guarantee to keep you alive. But of course, you might get injured."

Chi Yu's expression changed drastically when he heard this and he almost fainted in despair. Ren Long looked toward Chi Yu with pity in his eyes.

Seeing this, Chi Yu almost vomited out a mouthful of blood, but he suppressed it. Then he suddenly dashed toward a forest in the east like an arrow.

But Fu Ming was well aware of what Chi Yu's next step would be. He raised his palm and sucked Chi Yu back with his palm and grasped his shoulder.

"Let me go. We are friends, how could use me to achieve your goal? You should know how much I fear demons!" Chi Yu shouted. His face was turning red.

Fu Ming laughed when he heard this, and completely ignored Chi Yu. Then he walked ahead while holding Chi Yu.

A vastly tall mountain with its peak above the clouds stood mightily before them. The sky above was extremely dark and depressing. Thunder could be heard faintly."Such a powerful aura. What's hidden inside?" Ren Long frowned. A strong sense of danger welled up in his heart. He instinctively wanted to stay away from that mountain. But since he was already here, he wanted to see what Fu Ming was seeking.

After climbing the mountain, the sense of danger grew stronger in Ren Long's heart even though he had a clear line of sight and the mountain was so bare that there seemed to be no danger.

Fu Ming had already put Chi Yu down. He walked to the front with calm composure. Apparently, this was not his first time here.

But why were they walking at such a slow pace?

Couldn't they just fly inside?

Ren Long speculated in his heart. He felt that Fu Ming was trying to impress them.

This mountain had a great height. When they reached the mountain shoulder, Fu Ming stopped.

Then Fu Ming punched the mountain wall suddenly. The impact created a gigantic hole and swept up a cloud of dust. The hole connected them deep into the mountain body.

"Follow me closely!" Fu Ming said before taking the lead and moving into the dust cloud. Ren Long and Chi Yu followed closely behind. Chi Yu no longer dared to escape. They were already in the core area of the Forbidden Island, and he was too weak. If he dared to wander around alone at this place, he will be killed by some random demonic beast. Thus, he wisely chose to stay with Fu Ming and Ren Long.

After walking into the mountain body for about 100 meters, they came to a spacious chamber inside the mountain. And they saw something gigantic demon's statue. The statue looked very realistic as if the demon is alive and is watching them. It also looked very sinister and terrifying

Chi Yu was shivering out of fear as he looked at the statue of the demon, and he cried out, "Don't tell me you want to revive this demon?"

Fu Ming smiled but didn't say anything. He just pulled him and threw him toward the statue of the demon straightaway.

Chi Yu was so frightened that his soul almost shattered. He tried to move but realized that there was a formless force restricting his movements. He could not even talk.

Ren Long did not interfere but waited patiently. He knew that Fu Ming would not harm Chi Yu. Although Fu Ming might be looking as if he is doing whatever he wants, in fact, he cares about relationships very much.

Fu Ming took out the five Origin Beads and tossed them onto Chi Yu.

Despair filled Chi Yu's wide-opened eyes when he saw the next scene. He saw that the five Origin Beads shined brilliantly and illuminated the entire chamber.

A powerful wind rose from beneath them, making Chi Yu sway like a fallen leaf in a violent gust.

And it was at this time that the statue of the demon moved slightly. The demon's statue moved its head and looked toward the five Origin Beads on Chi Yu's body.

"Oh no… It's the end for me…"

"Mom was right, no one is a good person, not even the closest friend. I should have listened to mom and stayed back to my room instead of coming to this godforsaken place with him."

Chi Yu wailed in his heart as he closed his eyes. He showed as if he was ready to die.

"Heh... Drama King!" Fu Ming smiled and shook his head, and no longer looked at Chi Yu. Then he gazed at Ren Long and said: "Ren, Stay close to me. Let me show you something you have not seen before!"
