Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

Lin Yu looked at the deserted Takamagahara and the billowing white mist, and stroked his chin in deep thought.

"The lowest level among these people is level six right from the start, and they'll probably recover to level seven after some time. This is tough!"

He rubbed his temples, feeling intense pressure.

This is only the weakest; who knows what terrifying creatures might exist within that white mist? What if an eighth or ninth-tier being jumps out, or even a true god? How would we possibly compete then?

"We must improve our strength as soon as possible."

Lin Yu thought to himself.

The pressure from the gods was making him somewhat upset.

The next moment, he slowly landed on the ruined cherry blossom mountain, opened his mouth wide, and frantically devoured the fire element in the magma.

After a long time, once he had fully replenished his magic power, he took out a small magic spaceship from his spatial ring, leaped onto it, and instantly flew away.

Below, the cherry blossom-covered land slowly disappeared, eventually sinking completely into the sea.

"You've absorbed so much magma, and there's still not a sound?"

Lin Yu looked at the Vermilion Bird egg beside him, somewhat speechless.

I really don't know how long it will take for this thing to actually hatch.

"It's a pity that I still couldn't advance my talent to 4S this time. It's definitely getting harder and harder as you go further."

Lin Yu thought about his current situation.

His talent and physique have both reached a critical point, and he only needs the right opportunity to break through in both areas. At that time, his strength will surely increase several times over.

Unfortunately—

Of the remaining flames, he only knows the whereabouts of three types, which are his next targets.

The white sacred fire resides on the holy mountain of heaven, the soul fire is in the secret realm, and the remaining one is the Vermilion Bird fire, which depends on when the Vermilion Bird egg hatches.

If he were to devour any one of these three flames, he would surely be able to break through to the 4S level of talent, and his physique would also be able to enter the fourth-order invincible body. His white flame form would be able to directly upgrade to the true fifth form.

only--

The appearance of Takamagahara, and the powerful creatures within it, made him somewhat uneasy.

Are there other such secret realms revealed elsewhere besides here? If high-level beings were to appear within them, it would likely be a true catastrophe.

Just then.

Lin Yu's member bracelet vibrated.

Lin Xiaoyou's voice came from inside: "Brother, are you on the spaceship?"

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yu sensed a hint of anxiety in his voice and frowned.

"Brother, it's so good that you're alright. You've already broken free from the surveillance of the attribute panel and can't see the content on the forum. You don't know that many big things are happening all over the world right now."

Upon hearing this, a glint flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.

Could it be—

He guessed right?

Sure enough, Xiao You's voice continued to come through the communication bracelet: "Not only Takamagahara in the Sakura Country, but also many, many small secret realms are connected to the world, and some extremely powerful beings have emerged from them."

"They claim to be apostles of God, and they went on a killing spree as soon as they appeared, frantically devouring blood essence. The more they devoured, the stronger they became. It is said that there are even peak seventh-tier beings in Great Britain."

"Even within the Great Xia territory, more than a dozen small secret realms have appeared, and creatures have emerged from them, beginning to slaughter everywhere!"

As Lin Xiaoyou kept sending him messages, Lin Yu's expression became extremely serious.

If a being at the peak of the seventh rank were to appear, no one would be able to contend with it.

"Is this the real apocalypse?"

A chill ran through Lin Yu's heart.

He quickly replied: "I'm on my way there. We'll meet in Wuyu City."

……

On the massive fleet of magical airships, the leaders of various guilds gathered together, all with solemn expressions.

"Some creatures have already emerged from the secret realm, leaving blood everywhere. We must hurry back."

"But what's the use of getting there in time?"

The guild leader of a major guild turned pale: "The weakest of those creatures that emerged were all at least level six! By the time we arrive, they'll probably have recovered to level seven, or even level eight!"

"Eighth Rank!"

These two short words felt like a mountain pressing down on everyone's hearts, making it hard to breathe.

"Eighth-tier? Let alone us, even if Emperor Yan came back to life, he would probably only die with regret!" Someone remembered the man who suppressed the mysterious creature on the battlefield of a hundred kingdoms.

If they were of the same level, let alone the Flame Emperor, there are many geniuses here who could overpower the mysterious creature.

But the key point is that the creatures that emerged from that secret realm and slaughtered humans were at least at the seventh level or above!

Moreover, Emperor Yan is now dead!

Even Dawn fell silent upon hearing these words.

He was confident that he could contend with even the Flame Emperor in this world. But the seventh rank was simply too far off!

"Even if I can't win, I have to go back. My son is still waiting for me. Even if I die, I want to see them one last time, and I want to die with them," someone cried out in anguish.

"That's right. I came here with the determination to die. I've lived long enough! I can't just stand by and watch those alien creatures slaughter our families."

Everyone gritted their teeth, their eyes bloodshot.

"This is the real apocalypse!"

"I used to think zombies were utterly useless, nothing more than tools to enhance our strength. Now I realize it was a blessing in disguise, that the real apocalypse was delayed until now!"

Someone spoke with a bitter tone, a deep sense of despair rising in their heart.

The arrival of zombies did not pose much danger to these highly talented evolved beings.

They even felt like fish in water at one point, but today they realized that zombies might be a blessing from heaven, giving them some strength to protect themselves before the real apocalypse, but only for the most elite.

Seeing the sorrowful emotions of everyone, Ye Piaopiao and Shenfa opened their mouths, wanting to say that Emperor Yan was still alive.

But then I thought, saying it probably wouldn't change anything!

Facing a seventh-tier opponent, Master might be able to escape, but a direct confrontation is absolutely impossible. The gap in skill level is simply too vast!

"Let's go back and see how things go first!"

At this moment, Shuguang spoke softly, his eyes gleaming with an inexplicable light, as if he were deep in thought.

……

at the same time.

In Tianhai City, dozens of kilometers outside the Yongzhou Base, a massive white gate stands in the sky, radiating immense pressure that can be seen by all the evolved beings in Tianhai City.

Behind this giant gate seemed to lie a terrifying world.

One roar after another emanated from it, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.
