True Samadhi Flames & First Fight

True Samadhi Flames, he did not expect to hear such a name here. Samadhi Flames are one of the seven heavenly fires. They are naturally born by absorbing heaven and earth qi from surroundings and form in every few millennia. They are heavily sought after by every cultivator.

From the previous owner's memories, he knows there are seven such heavenly fires. He knows of only Samadhi Flames, Netherfire and Golden Sun Flames. He did not know about other fires. And Samadhi Flames and Netherfire are generally born in the Netherworld.

How is it this stupid snake got in touch with it? Is there is gate to the Netherworld nearby? Ze got confused thinking about it.

Normally these types of fires when born release some heavenly signs. Cultivators dealing with Fate and Karma laws would surely notice these changes which proceeds with some battles for acquiring the fires. After all the person who refines and assimilates those fires will rise in ranks. They will have their combat power increase drastically. Also, once absorbed, one cannot force out those fires. If such a person die, those flames return to earth and reborn a few thousand years later.

So why did no one notice this flames? Or are they already retrieved by someone? Also he cannot rule out the possibility that the readings of karma and fate are always not accurate, they also misinterpret several things. So there is that possibility. Anyways, this is a matter he cannot ignore. This opportunity is as good as his hypothetical ancient god inheritance, so he cannot miss it.

........

Now, how to how find the source? It would be best to kill this snake here. After all, I do not know if it has any comrades. Although it will be a tough job, I had to do it. After that with my divine eyes, I will thoroughly search this forest. I am sure I will find the place.

Then, how to kill this beast? I only have low-rank fist technique called Mountain breaking fist. With that I do not know if I can kill the beast. He then looked at the snake again to find its flaws. It has two weaknesses. First one is the tail and the other place is its jaw. With my space law, it should be fine. So, he searched his surroundings for 100 miles in all directions, including underground and then proceed to take action.

This might look like it took a long time but all of this happened for about only a few minutes.

........

The Golden snake has a diameter of about a half a meter. Its length was about 150 meters. It looked ferocious and its tail was like a whip shattering nearby boulders to powder.

Ze was extremely nervous. But soon he began to calm down and showed killing intent. Immediately the snake reacted and began to move towards him at extreme speeds.

Ze instantly disappeared from the spot and targeted its stomach with a fist strike. He used teleport and fist technique at the same time. As expected, it reacted very fast and swung its tail to meet his fist.

Ze felt a huge amount of force course through his body. He retreated but had no injuries. He began to attack at the same place again. He was again pushed back and collided with a tree. The snake immediately closed the distance and tried to bite him down.

Ze gathered all his strength and immediately began to counterattack.

[Space Authority]

He immediately laid out his law authority. In this authority's space which is about a mile, his opponents powers are almost halved, if they do not have any countermeasures. And his power almost get doubled. The snake do not possess law authority so it immediately slowed down.

He teleported to its tail and punched with huge force, but only used one-fourth of his power. The snake put up qi barriers and fire law barrier, but they were shattered. He hit the tail accurately. The snake began to howl in pain and got furious.

He decided to end this fast, so he disappeared again and appeared below the snake and punched with his full strength at its jaw, with full his double strength. It put up resistance but they were instantly shattered. Its head was half-blown and it instantly died. Even its soul essence dissipated.

Ze retracted his authority and checked his surroundings again. There was no one present. He immediately stored its corpse in void palace and began to quench the fire with his space law. He opened his palm and closed it by clenching tightly. Immediately the space constricted and the fires snuffed out. He did not want anyone to find out about the Samadhi Flames. He also erased any spatial fluctuations present. After that, he soon left the place.

Ze was really lucky. His tactics worked well, otherwise he would have to work harder to finish the job. He let the snake think what he wanted and his hunt became easier. Mainly the last punch was probably a shock to the snake. It estimated the force to be around the same as before or somewhat stronger, but it got scammed.

Ze mainly did this in sneaky manner because of three reasons. The first and most important reason was he did not want its soul essence to escape. He do not have any ways for dealing with it. Second was because he did not want its companions to come and aid it. Third was he did not want to take much time because it may attract other people. The snake already caused a commotion, he didn't want to drag it out. Otherwise that stupid snake really is a good sparring partner, he would have played a bit more.

After retreating for over 200 miles, he sat on a tree and began to observe the place. He already saw some people heading over when he was retreating. So he waited.

......

Some people wearing extravagant clothes soon came to the scene. The place was fully burnt and there is some blood spilled on the ground. Other than that there are no clues.

A young looking girl observed the surroundings a bit and soon sighed. She could not find anything.

"Miss Xuan, did you find anything?" asked a young man. That girl is surprisingly from the Seven Greats. Also from Xuan clan. It is formidable force even in upper heavens.

Xuan : "No, I didn't. The battle ended too quick. The person must have took the beast corpse and left. What do you think, Zhao Ming?"

That young man is also surprisingly from Zhao family. He looked around and replied, "Like you said the battle ended quickly. After all, the highest realm in this forest is Void Formation, some higher ranked person must have passed through. Its not strange considering the timing. Each sect and clan are looking for that evil person. Even iterant cultivators pitched in for the search. Its probably one of them."

Xuan : "Yeah, you might be right."

Ming : "Let's leave. We cannot waste our time here. We have to quicken the pace and reach the Fu clan. Everyone is gathering there in two days."

Xuan : "Yeah, lets leave. We cannot afford to be late."

And so they quickly left the scene.

.......

Ze was surprised seeing this group. He is watching everything with his divine eyes. He saw that the girl and the young man belonged to Xuan and Zhao family and they both are at Supreme being Realm. The remaining eight members also were surprisingly at Transcendent realm. They looked like teenagers but already has such high cultivation. They seemed to be travelling to the city, which Ze wanted to leave to for signing in at Fu clan residence. He could not hear their voices, but he knows they are travelling fast and has serious looks on their faces. So he guessed something may have happened. Well, it does not concern him a bit.

He got down the tree and began to search for the snake's cave. Finally after searching for four hours he found the cave very deep within the forest, approximately 600 miles from where the battle took place and it is situated underground.
