Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 189 Bright Future

The strong smell of blood mixed with the pungent smell of sulfur hit them in the face. The moment Gao Xingchen, Prince Wang and Elder Li stepped into the valley, they realized that the lair of the Fire Cloud Evil God was definitely not a good place. In front of them was a scorched earth with no grass growing. The ground was crisscrossed with bottomless cracks, as if they were scars left by a giant beast fighting. The air was filled with a suffocating sense of oppression, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"Be careful!" Elder Li shouted, and was the first to use his defensive magic weapon. A golden light curtain enveloped him. Prince Wang did not dare to neglect it and quickly prepared for battle. Gao Xingchen poured his spiritual power into the evil-suppressing jade, and a cool breath instantly flowed through his body, resisting the evil forces around him.

"Roar--"

A deafening roar came from the depths of the valley, shaking the ground and mountains, as if the entire valley was about to collapse. Then, a huge figure slowly walked out of the darkness and appeared in front of everyone.

It was a huge beast as big as a hill, covered with dark red scales, emitting a burning breath. It had a pair of huge curved horns on its head, flashing a faint red light. Its limbs were strong and powerful, and every step it took left deep footprints on the ground.

"Is this the Fire Cloud Evil God?" Gao Xingchen was shocked. This giant beast was much more powerful than he had imagined.

"Yes, this is the Fire Cloud Evil God that has brought disaster to the area." Elder Li said solemnly, "It has been practicing for thousands of years. Its strength is unfathomable. We must be careful in dealing with it."

The Fire Cloud Evil God stared at everyone with his blood-red eyes, and a pillar of fire spurted out of his mouth, heading straight for Gao Xingchen. Gao Xingchen was well prepared, and dodged sideways. The pillar of fire fell to the ground, instantly melting the ground into a huge deep pit.

"Xiao Hei, go!" Gao Xingchen gave an order, and Xiao Hei turned into a black lightning and rushed towards Huoyun Evil God. At the same time, Prince Wang also summoned his own pet - a huge Qilin, which roared to the sky and joined the battle.

Although Xiao Hei is far smaller than Huoyun Evil God, he is extremely fast and flexible, shuttling back and forth around Huoyun Evil God and launching attacks continuously. Although Huoyun Evil God is huge, his movements are extremely flexible, and each attack is extremely accurate. Xiao Hei was almost hit several times.

On the other side, Qilin and Fire Cloud Evil God had a head-on confrontation. Qilin's attack power was extremely strong, and every attack carried a momentum to destroy the world. However, Fire Cloud Evil God had thick skin and flesh, and Qilin's attacks caused minimal damage to it.

"We can't go on like this. Xiao Hei and Qilin are no match for the Fire Cloud Evil God." Gao Xingchen was extremely anxious. He had to find a way to break the current deadlock.

At this moment, the voice of the Spirit Pet Master suddenly rang in his ears: "Xingchen, Xiao Hei has recently learned a new combined attack technique that can be used in conjunction with Qilin. Perhaps it can cause some trouble to the Fire Cloud Evil God and buy you some time."

Gao Xingchen's eyes lit up, and he quickly relayed the words of the spirit pet master to Prince Wang. Prince Wang was overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately ordered Qilin and Xiao Hei to cooperate and perform a joint attack.

The Qilin howled to the sky, and its body glowed with golden light, transforming into a golden lightning bolt and swooping down towards the Fire Cloud Evil God. Xiao Hei took the opportunity to hide in the Fire Cloud Evil God's shadow, waiting for his chance to strike.

"Roar——" Fire Cloud Evil God roared, and a huge pillar of fire spewed out of his mouth, covering Qilin. However, Qilin was not afraid at all. Golden light flowed on its body, forming an indestructible golden shield, blocking all the pillars of fire.

At this moment, Xiao Hei suddenly jumped out from the shadow of Huoyun Evil God, and with his sharp claws, he fiercely grabbed Huoyun Evil God's eyes with a sharp cold light. Huoyun Evil God was unable to dodge, and one of his eyes was scratched by Xiao Hei, and he immediately let out a shrill scream.

"Good opportunity!" Gao Xingchen was delighted. He knew that the weakness of the Fire Cloud Evil God was its eyes. He immediately took out a magic weapon from his storage ring - the Sky Net. This magic weapon was specially prepared for him by the Spirit Pet Master to restrain the Fire Cloud Evil God.

"Xingchen, hurry up, trap it with the net!" The voice of the spirit pet master sounded in Gao Xingchen's ears again.

Gao Xingchen did not dare to neglect and immediately activated the Heaven and Earth Net. The Heaven and Earth Net grew larger in the wind and turned into a huge golden net, enveloping the Fire Cloud Evil God. The Fire Cloud Evil God struggled violently, trying to break free from the Heaven and Earth Net, but to no avail.

"Xingchen, the Fire Cloud Evil God's weak spot is in its abdomen, attack there quickly!" The voice of the Spirit Pet Master came again.

Hearing this, Gao Xingchen immediately poured all his spiritual power into the Evil Suppression Jade, and then threw the Evil Suppression Jade fiercely towards the belly of the Fire Cloud Evil God. The Evil Suppression Jade turned into a stream of light and instantly hit the belly of the Fire Cloud Evil God.

“Roar——” The Fire Cloud Evil God let out a shrill scream, and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang, creating a huge deep pit on the ground.

However, just when everyone thought that Huoyun Evil God had been destroyed, an even stronger evil force erupted from Huoyun Evil God's body. Huoyun Evil God struggled to stand up, his eyes became even more blood red, and his aura became even more violent.

"Oh no, it's going to fight to the death!" Elder Li's face changed drastically, and he shouted loudly, "Everyone be careful!"

At the same time, Nanli and Prince Wang also felt the terrifying aura emanating from the Fire Cloud Evil God. They did not dare to delay and immediately joined forces to attack the Fire Cloud Evil God, trying to stop it from continuing to release its power.

For a moment, the valley was filled with light and the roar was deafening. A more intense battle was about to break out...

The violent energy of the Fire Cloud Evil God impacted everything around him, and the valley seemed to tremble. Nan Li and Prince Wang did not dare to slack off. They used all their skills, and the sword light and spiritual power intertwined into an airtight net, trying their best to suppress the madness of the Fire Cloud Evil God.

"Xingchen, use your innate true fire!" The voice of the spirit pet master sounded in Gao Xingchen's ears, "Only your innate true fire can completely purify it!"

Gao Xingchen was shocked when he heard this. His innate true fire was extremely powerful, but it was also very energy-consuming to use. If he was not careful, he would be attacked. But now, he had no other choice.

Taking a deep breath, Gao Xingchen sank all his mind into his dantian and mobilized the burning flame in his body. The golden-red flame gushed out from his palm, turning into a fire dragon, roaring and rushing towards the Fire Cloud Evil God.

"Roar—" The Fire Cloud Evil God roared unwillingly. It struggled frantically, trying to break free from Nan Li and Prince Wang's restraints, but it was all in vain. The true fire of its life was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, swallowing it up in an instant.

The black evil energy and the golden-red flames intertwined, making a sizzling sound. The firelight illuminated the faces of everyone present, their eyes filled with hope and tension.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

After an unknown amount of time, the flames gradually dissipated, and the figure of the Fire Cloud Evil God also disappeared, leaving only ashes on the ground and a burning smell in the air.

"Did we... win?" someone murmured to himself, with a hint of disbelief in his voice.

"We won! We won!" Elder Li shouted excitedly, tears streaming down his face.

The valley suddenly erupted in deafening cheers, and people hugged each other to celebrate this hard-won victory. The disciples of Xingchen Pavilion were even more excited, with tears in their eyes, they shouted Gao Xingchen's name loudly.

Gao Xingchen looked at the scene in front of him, his heart filled with emotion. He finally fulfilled his promise, protecting the Xingchen Pavilion and protecting the peace of the star field.

"Xingchen, are you okay?" Nanli walked to Gao Xingchen and asked with concern.

Gao Xingchen shook his head and looked at Nan Li with a smile, his eyes full of tenderness: "I'm fine, thanks to the help of you and Prince Wang."

Prince Wang stepped forward, patted Gao Xingchen on the shoulder, and said with a hearty smile: "You kid, you are getting stronger and stronger! This time, thanks to you, we were able to defeat the Fire Cloud Evil God."

Gao Xingchen smiled modestly. He knew that this victory belonged to everyone and was the result of everyone's joint efforts.

After the battle, Gao Xingchen and his allies were warmly welcomed and praised by the residents of the star field. They were hailed as heroes of the star field, and their names were recorded in history forever.

However, for Gao Xingchen, these honors are not important. What he cares most about is that the people around him can be safe and happy. He looked at Nan Li standing shoulder to shoulder with him, and his heart was filled with happiness and expectation.

He knew that the road ahead was still long and they still had a lot to do. But no matter how many storms there were ahead, he would work hand in hand with Nanli to protect the peace of the star field and create a better future...

The joy of victory gradually faded, and the crowd gradually dispersed, but Gao Xingchen felt particularly peaceful in his heart. He held Nan Li's hand, interlocking their fingers, and the two walked side by side on the mountain road. The sunset made their figures look particularly slender.

"This time, it's all thanks to you." Gao Xingchen said softly, with a hint of fear in his tone, "If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid..."

"Silly boy," Nan Li held his hand tightly with her backhand, her eyes full of tenderness, "We are the people who trust each other the most. No matter what happens, we will face it together."

Gao Xingchen felt warm in his heart. Yes, from their first encounter to fighting side by side, they had already established an extremely deep relationship. This time, sharing life and death together made their hearts stick together even more.

"Li'er," Gao Xingchen stopped and gazed at Nan Li affectionately, "Let's walk the future together, okay?"

Nan Li's eyes moved, she nodded gently, and a happy arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Xiao Hei, who was standing by, seemed to have sensed the sweet atmosphere between the two, and he ran around them happily, making excited noises from time to time.

"Xiao Hei has also made a great contribution this time!" Gao Xingchen smiled and touched Xiao Hei's head.

"Yes," Nan Li also said with a smile, "It is now a great hero in the star field."

Hearing Nan Li's praise, Xiao Hei became even more proud. He puffed out his chest and looked very proud, as if to say, "Of course!"

Elder Li and the Spirit Pet Master walked up to them, looked at the perfect couple, and smiled with satisfaction on their faces.

"Xingchen, you have really grown up," Elder Li sighed, "I am relieved to hand over Xingchen Pavilion to you."

"Master," Gao Xingchen said solemnly, "I will definitely work hard to cultivate, protect the Xingchen Pavilion, and protect the peace of the star field!"

"Good boy," the pet master patted Gao Xingchen on the shoulder, "Your future is limitless. Your master and I both believe in you."

After a brief moment of warmth, Gao Xingchen knew that the road of cultivation would never end, and he still had more important tasks to accomplish. He looked up into the distance, his eyes firm and deep.

"Li'er, it's time for us to set off."

"Where are we going?" Nan Li asked.

"Let's go to the Spirit Pet Valley," Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed with anticipation, "It's time for Xiao Hei to have special training."

Nanli smiled slightly. She knew that new challenges were about to begin, but they were ready to embrace a more exciting future.

In the distance, the Spirit Pet Valley looks particularly quiet in the afterglow of the setting sun. Coach Qin and Granny Wu have been waiting here for a long time. Gao Xingchen and Xiao Hei are about to start a new journey here. What kind of surprises and challenges will this journey bring them?
