I, a prison guard in the Heavenly Prison, secretly became invincible thanks to the system.

Chapter 728 Subduing the Flame Demon

"Master, please accept this old servant's bow!"

With a thud, the Flame Demon lowered its head without hesitation and prostrated itself at Ye Kang's feet.

There's nothing we can do. His cultivation has been destroyed, leaving him only with the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator. It will probably take him a long time of arduous training to recover to his peak.

If he stays here in this state, he will die within a few years because he cannot withstand the suppression of the chains and his life force will be drained.

As for the kid on the other side, although he's a bastard, he at least possesses Heavenly Fire, so he should have some luck and skills. It wouldn't be too bad to acknowledge him as my master.

Most importantly, he had been imprisoned for far too long, and this dark and hopeless existence was driving him crazy. He didn't want to let go of any chance to gain his freedom.

Ye Kang hadn't expected this guy to be so tasteless, accepting the title of master far too readily.

No wonder the system only gave me a reward of 30 comprehension points; now it seems that it gave me too much.

He said speechlessly, "Just saying it doesn't count as acknowledging your master. If you turn against me, I'll suffer a great loss."

Upon hearing this, the Flame Demon gritted his teeth, patted his heart, and a drop of blood from his heart gushed out, condensing in front of Ye Kang.

"This is the blood of the Flame Demon, equivalent to my life. Only by refining this will my life or death be in your hands."

"Oh?"

Ye Kang enveloped the Flame Demon's blood with his true energy, probed it with his divine sense, and instantly refined it.

At this moment, he felt a mysterious connection between his primordial spirit and the Flame Demon, as if the other's life had merged with his own.

He will die instantly if he cuts off contact with anyone he wants.

Furthermore, this connection is one of superior oppression, meaning that if one dies, the other will also die.

Conversely, his life or death will not affect himself.

This is true acceptance of God, completely surrendering one's life to Him.

The system voice also sounded at the same time.

【Ding】

[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: Subduing the Flame Demon]

[Host receives reward: 300000 Comprehension]

The mission is complete, which means that this guy wasn't lying; he truly accepted the master.

Ye Kang then smiled and said, "A wise choice."

The Flame Demon remained silent, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He hadn't even escaped the wolf's den before falling into the tiger's mouth; he was truly unlucky.

Without saying a word, Ye Kang used his Azure Flame to burn through all the chains, and the Flame Demon was finally freed, trembling with excitement.

He had wanted to roar and make a big commotion to celebrate his escape, but the next second he realized that he no longer had that much cultivation. Now he could only howl a couple of times to satisfy his urges.

He lowered his head awkwardly and asked, "Master, where do you want to take me?"

"Just follow me."

Phew!

The two disappeared at the same time and arrived in the Jade Ink Realm.

The Flame Demon stared in shock at its surroundings, its heart filled with turmoil.

"You! You actually possess a rare and precious treasure!"

He was completely dumbfounded, wondering what this kid's background was.

He's clearly just a weak Nascent Soul cultivator, so how come he has both Heavenly Fire and a magical treasure? Neither of these is something an ordinary human could possess!

But now it's happening to the same person, which is outrageous!

Ye Kang did not answer him, but instead led him to Lei Ze's side.

Because of the existence of Lei Ze, this place has become a forbidden zone in the Mo Yu Realm.

This vast area can only be seen from the summit of Zushan Mountain. The Thunderous Swamp shines brightly, making it an extremely dangerous and perilous place for martial artists in the Moyu Realm.

Therefore, few people come here, and the area next to Leize has become a no-man's land.

Fortunately, there was a desolate valley nearby, with protruding rocks, sparse vegetation, and a large enough area.

He pointed to the valley and said, "You can stay there. You can do whatever you want in the valley, but once you leave, you must put away your flames and conceal your presence so as not to frighten others."

The Flame Demon was still immersed in the perfection and vastness of this cave, its mouth agape.

"Good heavens, this place is so mature! This is no ordinary grotto-heaven treasure!"

"Are you listening to me?"

"Listen, listen, you mean I can go anywhere, right?"

"Sure, but if you cause any harm to the people here, I won't let you off the hook."

"Okay, okay, I'm not a bad person. I'm finally free to move around, let me wander around for a bit, I'm so bored!"

The Flame Demon laughed loudly, immediately extinguishing the flames on his body and transforming into a burly man with red skin and long horns. He then ran off, laughing wildly.

Ye Kang told Xia Ningyan and the others to be careful of the Flame Demon before leaving the Ink Jade Realm.

The Flame Demon has already recognized him as its master, so he's not worried about the guy causing trouble. He's just afraid that the demon might lose control and burn something it shouldn't.

Inside the mountain crevice, Ye Kang returned to the stone platform.

Without the fire demon, the magma here was freed from its shackles, and began to boil and surge continuously, even overflowing the stone pillar in the middle.

Countless fire spirits emerged, jumping wildly in fright.

Ye Kang was startled and quickly headed towards the passage behind the stone platform.

At the same time, inside the entire sacred mountain, the magma, no longer suppressed by the Flame Demon, surged out from various hot springs like wild horses.

In an instant, the mountain crevice was filled with magma, and scorching heat shot into the sky, melting countless snowflakes. Magma and snowmelt erupted simultaneously, terrifying everyone in the second level.

Everyone stared in shock at the strange change in the world, not understanding what had happened.

……

Shen Guili and Cai Qingyang had already reunited. The two stared at each other, wide-eyed, as the lava burst through the spring.

"How could this happen? There's never been any record of this situation before."

"The earth is surging with heat; could this be a volcano?"

"Impossible, there's no crater at all. There must be something wrong with the ley lines. I can feel a very powerful energy accumulating below. We can't stay in the second level any longer."

Shen Guili made a quick judgment and was about to leave.

The next second, a martial artist's aura rapidly approached from the mountain crevice ahead. Then, before their very eyes, Ye Kang burst through the crevice and crashed out. Behind him, magma transformed into a fire dragon, spewing out almost simultaneously.

Ye Kang was just a hair's breadth away from being engulfed by lava.

He stood in mid-air, still shaken, feeling incredibly lucky.

We were just one step away from losing that second treasure, but luckily we made it in time at the last moment.

He watched as an aura of a lost treasure slowly floated in the Ink Jade Realm.

I was in such a rush just now that I didn't have time to open it.

It's even less likely to open now.

He turned around with a wry smile, looking at the two terrifying men.

"General Shen, General Cai, what a coincidence..."

"It's your boy!"

Cai Qingyang had injured his left hand, but his temper remained fiery, and he immediately flew to Ye Kang's side.

"Wow, not only did you reach the second level, you even broke through it! You must have had quite a few fortuitous encounters!"

"A fluke, a fluke."

"I don't think it's just luck, is it? Tell me, what's going on with this lava?"
