Chapter 1139 Cooperation
The Scorching Evil Fire followed Austin''s voice, as it released a scarlet fireball, the fireball then
suddenly turned into a fierce tiger.
The tiger''s body was engulfed in scarlet mes which emitted a dreadful, oppressive and scorching
heat.
The tiger roared as it zoomed past the valley and charged into a nearby dense forest.
Everything it touched instantly burned and turned into charred remains before it vanished, leaving a
trail of scorched ashes.
The powerful attack stemmed from the burning essence of the Unearthly Fire.
Meanwhile, the scarlet Scorching Evil Fire continued to conjure up different images of beasts, including
a lion, fox, wolf, leopard and even an elephant among other interesting animals.
After some time, because of the powers of the fireball, it had burned the trees surrounding the valley
down, leaving a barren patch ofnd covered in ck soot and ashes.
''Wow! Awesome!'' Austin thought in amazement at the power of the Unearthly Fire. Austin knew that he
had gained one more powerful skill that he could use to attack the enemy.
"What''s that scarlet me? Oh my god! Is that the Unearthly Fire?" While Austin was busy practicing
how to use his newfound powers and testing the Unearthly Fire, a wrinkled old man in a gray robe
outside the valley was keenly watching and noticed his actions.
He stared at the scarlet me with a knowing smile.
He trembled excitedly, as glittering lights of joy reflected in his eyes.
It turned out that the old man was the priest serving the queen.
He then got nearer to Austin so he could observe him and confirm his suspicions. At the sight of the
Scorching Evil Fire, he was ecstatic.
"My god! It is the elusive Unearthly Fire!
Is it a gift from God? Has he finally remembered us and endowed us with the Unearthly Fire, so that we
can finally break the seal and get out of this ce!"
Priest Callum eximed in excitement.
He then quickly transformed into a shadow and charged towards Austin. His action was so swift that
mere mortal beings would not notice with their naked eye.
"Who''s there?"
While Priest Callum was still in the outer valley, Austin had detected with his spiritual sense that
someone was watching him.
Austin had beenmunicating with his friends using his spiritual sense when he noticed the Priest.
He immediately put away the Unearthly Fire and waited for him watchfully.
Austin could sense that his speed was not normal, and his was moving weirdly fast. Based on his
speed he deduced that he would be a formidable foe.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Austin eximed.
The old Priest Callum abruptly appeared in front of Austin. Austin immediately recognized the old man
in gray as the subordinate of the queen.
Austin had met him earlier in the queen''s pce.
Besides Austin, Nathan, the Sect Supremo, Violet and the gnome were also guarded towards the
uninvited guest.
"Do not be afraid. I am not here to harm you." Feeling their hostility, Priest Callum hastened to exin.
He did not want to agitate them further, so he continued, "Is that the Unearthly Fire that you just
activated?"
Priest Callum still could not believe what he had seen.
He stared at Austin and asked him in excitement.
Austin was surprised. ''Is he targeting the Unearthly Fire and wants to steal it?'' he wondered.
"Well, you have been here for over ten days. I guess you have finally figured out where it is. It''s in a
small alternate dimension,"
Priest Callum continued talking to Austin.
Austin nodded in agreement.
The old man felt encouraged and continued talking, "To be honest, this small alternate dimension has
been sealed. It works one way, you cane in, but you will never find a way out.
Since you guys are already in here, it''s impossible for you to leave."
"What do you mean? Are you saying that we are trapped here since one cane in, but can''t leave?"
Austin''s face darkened. He became more agitated as he realized the gravity of their situation.
"Our tribe has been trapped in this small alternate dimension for thousands of years. At first, we were
desperate to find a way out, but after failing repeatedly, we gave up,"
the old Priest Callum said while looking sad. It was understandable. Everyone trapped in such a ce
for thousands of years would be as sad as he was.
"Really? You have been trapped in this ce for thousands of years?"
Austin was horrified. ''Does it mean that we will also be trapped here for thousands of years?''
"Yeah, we have been stuck in this ce for thousands of years. The only exit from this small alternate
dimension is in the upper space of this altar. However, it was sealed by a formidable power.
Unless the seal is broken, it is impossible to get out of here.
The person who sealed this ce was a great master in the Emperor Realm, and he is powerful and
mighty. We are no match for him, so it might be impossible to find a way out,"
the old Priest Callum exined.
"What? A great master in the Emperor Realm sealed it?"
Austin was astonished.
It was said that in the Prime Martial World, great masters in the Emperor Realm were extinct.
Therefore, no one could reach that level.
In the present, the most powerful cultivator with the highest cultivation base had reached the Holy
Realm level.
It was said that thousands of years ago, a cultivator in the Emperor Realm once existed.
However, since then, there had been no great master who had reached the Emperor Realm.
"We could say that cultivators in the Emperor Realm level had been extinct and no longer exist in the
Prime Martial World."
Austin didn''t expect that a great master in the Emperor Realm had sealed the small alternate
dimension him had broken into. This news was shocking.
"So we can never find a way out of this ce forever?"
Austin asked the old Priest Callum, His mood was increasingly bing worse with the more bad
news he heard. It was as foul as his ice-cold body. It was not fun to stay in that ce forever.
"There is still hope," hinted the old Priest Callum slyly.
Austin could not believe what he just heard.
His mood immediately improved at the thought of a way out.
"As time has gone by, the power of the seal cast by the great master in the Emperor Realm has waned
with the passing of time.
With the help of some special energy, we may be able to break through the seal and force our way
out,"
the old Priest Callum continued with some hope reflected in his eyes.
"Special energy? What do you mean?"
Austin was not sure what he meant.
"The Unearthly Fire!"
the Priest Callum spit out the words.
It finally dawned on Austin why the old Priest Callum had been telling him all these things.
It turned out that his target had been the Unearthly Fire, which could help them break through the seal
cast by the great master in the Emperor Realm. When he saw Austin activating the Unearthly Fire, he
immediately came to find him.
"Alright, now you know what I mean.
If we want to get out of this ce, we have to cooperate.
I have been studying the seal for hundreds of years. I am familiar with it, and you own the Unearthly
Fire.
It is a perfect match,"
the old Priest Callum concluded as he stared at Austin.
"Hey, kid, he is right.
I have checked the exit in the upper space of this altar. It is blocked by a formidable power,"
the gnome told Austin through the spiritual sense.
"Well then…" Austin paused as he contemted for a short while.
Let''s cooperate." He finally conceded.
In order to leave the small alternate dimension, Austin decided to cooperate with him.
"But I have a question.
Why didn''t you kill me and steal the Unearthly Fire from me? It''s more convenient for you, isn''t it?"
Austin asked with a secret knowing smile.
"Hey, young man, the Unearthly Fire is difficult to deal with.
Even if I kill you, I may fail to subdue the Unearthly Fire. The cultivation method we practice is a kind of
evil skill, which would counteract the power of the Unearthly Fire. We don''t have the right conditions to
subdue the Unearthly Fire,"
the old Priest Callum said honestly while rolling his eyes.
"Okay." Austin finally understood his intentions.
"Moreover, you guys are all formidable foes. I don''t want to fight with you,"
the Priest Callum added.

It turned out that he could see how powerful Austin and his peers were.
"Well then, since we have reached a consensus, please follow me. I''ll take you to the queen,"
said the Priest Callum.
"Okay." Austin nodded.
Now that they would be fighting shoulder to shoulder. Austin believed that the queen would not give
them a hard time.
