Kurumi Tokisaki's Planar Journey

Little Gu Yao held a water element magic core in one hand and took out an unknown spirit marrow from his space ring with the other.

When he uncorked it, a chill immediately spread out, forming a thick layer of frost on the jade bottle's mouth.

The 'Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame' sub-flame, feeling provoked by this little brat, flared up! It seemed as if a giant hand was distorting the space around it!

Gu Yao swallowed hard, glanced at the spirit marrow in his hand, and then, gritting his teeth, gulped it down!

The icy sensation rushed to his head, and Gu Yao shivered, feeling much cooler now.

He couldn't help but smile and, summoning his bloodline power, reached out to grab the sub-flame!

The 'Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame' sub-flame, enticed by the Gu Clan's direct bloodline, temporarily suppressed its heat. Just as Gu Yao was about to grasp it...

"Boom!~"

The flame erupted, leaving Gu Yao's entire body charred. His once thick, black hair turned to ash, and even his sword-like eyebrows were scorched. If not for the spirit marrow's protection, he might have perished!

With the sub-flame still burning beside him and the spirit marrow evaporating rapidly, Gu Yao felt his life was in danger for the first time!

Fear filled his eyes as he hurriedly infused his spiritual power into the token!

Outside, the Gu Clan members chatting with the black-robed semi-saint suddenly turned their attention to the distant rift in the space!

One person frowned, "Already? It shouldn't be happening so soon."

"Who could it be?"

"Probably that kid with the third-grade bloodline. I heard his father married an outsider."

As they gossiped, the elder beside the black-robed semi-saint's face changed! He saw the saint emerging from the rift, holding a charred child by the ankle!

"Yao'er!"

The elder exclaimed and instantly appeared next to Gu Yao, hurriedly taking out top-grade elixirs from his space ring to feed the charred child.

The others exchanged glances. A graceful lady slightly frowned, her red lips parting, "Is that... Gu Yao?"

The crowd erupted in whispers! Who was Gu Yao? One of the three most outstanding children among this group of direct descendants! He represented the male children of the clan!

And yet, not even half an hour had passed, and he was already out?

The black-robed semi-saint remained silent. He figured Gu Yao had encountered a powerful sub-flame; otherwise, his sixth-grade bloodline would not have provoked such an attack.

After giving Gu Yao the elixirs, the elder cupped his hands to the one-star Dou Saint, "Thank you for your rescue, saint. I will repay your kindness with a generous gift."

The Dou Saint, a middle-aged man, smiled warmly, "It's my duty. Gu Yao is fine. He'll recover in half a month."

The elder sighed in relief and was about to say more when he noticed the saint's expression change!

The middle-aged man tore open the space, and after a few breaths, emerged with two unconscious children.

The previously speaking lady rushed forward, concerned.

"Saint... this..."

"No time to explain. The 'Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame' is rampaging. I need to pull the other children out!"

Without another word, the man vanished into space again, continuously extracting unconscious children.

Worry creased the brows of everyone, including the black-robed semi-saint. Such an incident hadn't happened in millennia. Could it be...

"Four... six... eight..." The lady's pupils contracted, "Saint, there are still two..."

The middle-aged man's face was grim. Everyone saw his sleeves had been burnt to nothing, and even his wrists bore scars.

"The 'Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame' is out of control! Miss Mo'er and Miss Xun'er haven't used their tokens. The space is filled with flames; I can't pinpoint their locations!"

Their eyes flickered with thoughts.

"Patriarch!"

The middle-aged man bowed slightly towards the sky, waking the others from their stupor.

"Patriarch!"

"Yes."

Gu Yuan nodded, his deep eyes seemingly piercing through space. He waved his sleeve, effortlessly tearing open the space, "What a mess!"

As the patriarch left, everyone sighed in relief. Some looked expectantly at the middle-aged man.

The saint shook his head, "One of the little misses is likely to gain the 'Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame's' recognition, but something unexpected has occurred. But with the patriarch inside, there's no need to worry."

Back when Gu Yao was being taken out by the saint, the intense spatial fluctuations made Kurumi squint.

Her body seemed to have a precise radar. In no time, Kurumi found the sub-flame.

The sub-flame floated in the air, its flame flickering wildly as if celebrating something.

'Someone has been here.'

Kurumi took a deep breath, extending her arm as her bloodline power surged!

Following the same method, the sub-flame was attracted by her bloodline, gradually suppressing its power and attaching itself to her arm, forming another flame mark!

Dizziness hit her, but Kurumi was prepared, standing firmly and waiting for recovery.

With a thought, the two sub-flames merged into one, its aura becoming more intense, and the flame pointed in a direction!

'The 'Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame?'

Kurumi clenched her hand, the sub-flame disappearing.

When Kurumi reached the destination, she found another sub-flame! Using the same method, she subdued it, and the flame pointed in another direction!

Scratching her head, Kurumi wondered how many sub-flames the 'Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame' had split into!

She only had five hours! Collecting these flames wasn't like gathering seven Dragon Balls to summon Shenron!

Suppressing her inner grumbling, Kurumi sped towards the next location.

The golden space occasionally twisted, the heat unwavering, and her clothes were drenched in sweat.

The sub-flame continuously guided her, and Kurumi followed its direction.

"Xun'er!"

Kurumi stopped, seeing that Xun'er had already subdued a sub-flame, but something was wrong with her!

Her eyes burned with golden flames, and her baby-fat cheeks were cold and indifferent!

Kurumi became alert. She had never heard of the 'Golden Emperor Sky Burning Flame' interfering with consciousness!

"Xun'er?"

Kurumi called again, but there was no response.

The sub-flame within her urged her forward to devour the flame in Xun'er!

Kurumi frowned, cautiously approaching the girl.

The distance decreased, Kurumi held her breath, her heartbeat slowed to a minimum...

"Huh?!"

Kurumi saw Xun'er turn, startled. The sub-flame left her body, burning the space!

In her eyes, she saw Xun'er's tear-streaked, aggrieved face. Kurumi rubbed her eyes and saw Xun'er still looking pitiful.

"Waaah~"

Golden tears fell from Xun'er's eyes as she rushed forward to hug Kurumi!

"Sister, I'm so scared. The fire bullied me!"
