The forest kept vanishing and turning to vital energy. Austin had barely absorbed a fraction of the vital energy the Flame Emperor had depleted.
Four hours later, he finally absorbed half of the vital energy.
BAMM!
A wave of violent vital energy began gushing out of Austin's body and it formed a hurricane, sweeping up the forest.
He had reached the preliminary stage of the Sky Realm.
There was still more vital energy that he needed to absorb.
Time ticked by.
After another four hours, he had absorbed all of the vital energy from the Flame Emperor.
And the forest was gone, only barren fields stretching across the landscape.
Austin concentrated his mind to sense the amount of his vital energy, and as a delightful surprise, he had reached the medium stage of Sky Realm.
Naturally, he had absorbed a great deal of vital energy these past eight hours.
He was in high spirits.
He miraculously escaped death after being attacked by five masters of the Sky Realm. He would have died if it weren't for his impeccable physical strength.
Since he had reached the medium stage of Sky Realm, he knew the level of the five people's strength, two members of the royal family—Bruce and Graham and the three disciples of the Ghost Sect.
These were the five other cultivators also at the medium stage of Sky Realm.
Bruce had stronger, higher-quality vital energy than the other four at this level.
He was more talented in mastering martial arts skills. That was why he was more powerful than the other four.
He knew his cultivation base was much higher than the other five cultivators of Sky Realm and it thrilled him. He swore to himself that he would make the five pay for what they had done to him once he saw them again.
Austin returned to the Flame Emperor.
"Sir, I've made it.
Thank you for the gift!"
Without the Flame Emperor's help, Austin's journey to the Sky Realm would have been much more difficult.
It would have been a long, difficult journey. 'The deeper I cultivated the Golden Sun Scripture, the more masculine vital energy I need. Reaching higher levels in Golden Sun Scripture is more time-consuming than other common vital energy refining formulas, ' he thought to himself.
Due to the large amount of the vital energy, he was able to reach the medium stage of the Sky Realm in a short amount of time without too much effort.
"Well, what happened to you? Why do you look so bad?" Austin asked.
After getting the vital energy from the Flame Emperor, he wanted to know more about the latter.
"Just as Angus is, I, too, am a soul.
Since I came to the Prime Martial World, my physical injury had continued to worsen. At last, I died," the Flame Emperor replied bitterly.
"Is there any way to bring you back to life?" the lad inquired.
He had encountered two elders, Angus and the Flame Emperor in the Mysterious Nether World. The two, to some extent, were his benefactors. However, they both had passed away. He felt he ought to do something for them.
"Come back to life?" the Flame Emperor repeated with a pensive look on his face.
"Yes, there is. But the chance is quite slim.
There are many ways to renew one's life in the Divine Continent where I lived.
But now I only have a soul, so most methods won't work for me.
If I can return to my hometown and get the legendary Reincarnate Lotus to a place called Life and Death, I might be able to restore my physical body and come back to life.
But Life and Death is one of the five restricted areas in the Divine Continent. Most warriors who attempted to enter died. It is a gravely dangerous place," the Flame Emperor sighed hopelessly.
"Divine Continent. Life and Death," Austin muttered.
He memorized the two places. Even though he didn't know how far he would be able to go, he vowed to go to Life and Death to get the Reincarnate Lotus to help the Flame Emperor.
The Flame Emperor read his mind immediately.
He laughed and said, "I am pleased that you want to help me. Tell you what? When you reach the Holy Realm, you can come back here to meet me. Then I can tell you how to reach the Divine Continent.
The Prime Martial World is a low-grade space that lacks spiritual energy and luck. It's not a good place for cultivators.
