Chapter 93: Myriad Flame Corpse King, Flame Demon Stele Forest
With the double rewards included, he could obtain 3000 contribution points, getting much closer to the 10,000 mark.
Zhou Han closed the panel, instantly feeling full of motivation.
"How was it? Are you satisfied with the items inside?"
Elder Lin had been chatting with the other elders, but upon noticing Zhou Han's movement, he hurriedly asked.
"I am satisfied, but it's just too expensive! I'll have to work hard to earn contribution points!"
"Alright then, you two can discuss the trial properly. We won't disturb you any longer!"
Before leaving, Elder Lin had a faint smile on his face.
It made Zhou Han feel a bit puzzled, but he didn't think much of it.
"Hey, let's go! Time to start the mission. Why are you still spacing out?"
Zhou Han was now racing against time to earn contribution points, naturally impatient and unwilling to waste even a second.
"Who are you calling 'hey'? Don't I have a name? Where are your manners?"
Wan Yuhe raised her eyebrows, her pretty face filled with anger as she snapped.
"Are you coming or not? If not, I'm leaving first. If you're asking someone to carry you, you should lower your attitude a bit!"
Zhou Han naturally wouldn't indulge her bad temper. With this kind of spoiled young lady, you had to be even tougher than her.
"Who said I needed you to carry me? It's only because of my mother's request. Do you really think you're that strong?"
Her face was full of displeasure. As a proud daughter of heaven, it felt like she was shamelessly clinging to him.
"Hmph! You make it sound real. Why don't you prove your strength then?"
"And how do you want me to prove it?"
"Isn't that simple? We split up later and see who collects the materials faster?"
A subtle smile appeared on Zhou Han's face as he slowly lured this foolish girl step by step.
"Fine, it's a deal. Don't underestimate me—I'll definitely make you look at me in a new light!"
Wan Yuhe's face was filled with determination to win. In last night's confrontation with Zhou Han, she had lost completely and had even been humiliated in that way.
Just thinking about that scene filled her with shame and anger.
After all, she had been the one to provoke him first, and her mother, the Sword Emperor, couldn't possibly stand up for her.
So she constantly wanted to regain her dignity. Now that she had such an opportunity, she naturally wouldn't let it slip away.
"Mm! I'd like to see what you're really capable of!"
Zhou Han showed a trace of disdain on his face, but inside he was already laughing.
Letting her complete one task alone was actually quite good. He could focus on completing the other three tasks.
This way, not only would they avoid conflicts, but it would also save a lot of time.
Soon, after making preparations, the two set off directly.
Within the Sword God Hall, there was an entrance to the Fire Spirit Archipelago.
Two beams of white light flashed, and after entering, Zhou Han and Wan Yuhe parted ways as agreed.
[Current Area: Fire Spirit Archipelago. This is a combat zone. Please ensure your safety.]
[Notice: This area is a public zone. Personnel from other factions may enter. Please proceed with caution.]
"Personnel from other factions?"
Hearing the notification, Zhou Han quickly understood.
There were many forces on the Divine Demon Continent, intricately intertwined.
What he knew for now were the Sword God Hall for swordsmen, the Martial God Hall for warriors, the Holy Court for holy professions,
the Dark Soul Hall for night assassins, the Mage God Hall, the Archer God Hall, and the Dragon Rider Palace.
These corresponded to the seven major classes.
Of course, there were also hidden forces that Zhou Han had neither learned about nor encountered.
"No matter what, I have to stay cautious."
Zhou Han silently reminded himself.
At the same time, he checked some basic information.
[Fire Spirit Archipelago]
Difficulty Rating: Diamond 9-star
Monster Strength: Platinum to Diamond
Hidden Faction: Fire Spirit Clan
Drops: Fire Spirit Bracelet, Heavenly Flame Staff, Flame Scale Spear, etc.
Description: Islands filled with humid heat. Fire-element cultivators receive a 5% boost to all attributes. Recommended for level 60+ and teams of at least four.
Waves of heat continuously surged forward.
However, Zhou Han was flying in the air and wasn't greatly affected.
Soon, he arrived at the area of the Flame Demon Stele Forest.
As he landed, he could feel an even more intense heat.
Before him was a forest of steles, each one ignited with black flames.
Endless power surged from underground, supplying energy to these black flames.
According to the map's instructions, to collect the top-grade Fire Crystals,
one had to first destroy these steles and then kill the powerful being hidden underground.
"I am the will of the wind—Endless Wind Domain!"
Zhou Han directly used his awakened skill.
These things had high fire resistance, so the damage from the Red Lotus set wasn't very effective.
A sky full of raging wind swept in, twisting the air under its overwhelming force.
Countless wind blades cut wildly, and in less than a minute, the entire stele forest was destroyed.
"Who dares disturb my rest?"
"Unforgivable!"
A vast aura then burst upward from underground.
A mix of rotten stench and scorching heat rushed over, causing Zhou Han to frown.
The figure before him had a decaying body, yet it was wrapped in a layer of black flames.
Zhou Han cast an identification skill.

"So it's just a corpse. No wonder it smells so bad!"
After reading, Zhou Han understood.
"Damn human, why have you trespassed into my territory?"
"You dare ignore the Corpse King's pressure—die!"
Terrifying black flames covered the sky, the intense heat seemingly capable of melting everything.
Zhou Han could tell at a glance that this fire was no ordinary flame—it was probably comparable to the Endless Heavenly Flame he had encountered before.
Not to mention how painful it would be if it hit, the main issue was just how disgusting this corpse was.
So, without hesitation, he directly used his ultimate move: Ultimate Sword Domain—Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin.
"In the name of the Sword God, let all swords under heaven serve me!"
As Zhou Han spoke, his aura surged explosively.
The black flames in the air were instantly scattered.
Behind him, a disk-like formation appeared, with countless sword shadows rotating within it.
With a forward point of his finger, endless sword light roared toward the Corpse King with unstoppable force.
"What? This… what kind of technique is this?"
"You call yourself Myriad Flame? Why are you cowering before my myriad swords?"
The previously arrogant Myriad Flame Corpse King trembled, staring in shock at the scene before it.
Even with its vast experience, it was completely stunned.
However, it quickly reacted. Let alone blocking this power—
just touching it would probably shatter it to pieces.
If it didn't run now, was it supposed to stay and die?
A flash of black light, and it dived into the ground without looking back.
"Heh! You think hiding underground will help?"
"Attack relentlessly—today I'll turn this flat land into a canyon!"
