Mythical Abode Mountain, Cloud’s End Cliff, the most dangerous of Azure Cloud Continent’s four deadly areas. Cloud’s End Cliff’s base is known as the Grim Reaper’s Cemetery.
Over countless ye...
"Brother Yun, I'll take you to Senior Brother Huo Ye." Huo Poyun hurriedly said, and at the same time secretly sighed in his heart: As expected of Brother Yun, his elemental control ability is indeed amazing. He is in the Divine Yuan Realm, and he has cultivated the Ice Element Mysterious Art. He can actually stay here for nearly half an hour. Those Yan Shen disciples in the Divine Yuan Realm would definitely not be able to hold on for so long.
"Look at me, I actually forgot about this. Poyun, take Yun kid to rest for a while." Huo Rulie also hurriedly said.
“No need.” Yun Che wiped the sweat off his forehead and waved his hand, saying, “Brother Poyun, if I miss such an important matter, it will be an irreparable regret. Besides, I just want to stay away for a while to rest. It’s not a big deal. Why do I need someone to accompany me?”
As he spoke, Yun Che was already panting and walking away quickly: “Brother Poyun, I’ll come back later.”
“Ah… okay.” Huo Poyun subconsciously moved forward, thought about Yun Che’s words, and finally did not follow.
The battle between the gods was ahead, and no one wanted to miss even a moment of it. After Yun Che left, no one looked in the direction he went, and all their eyes were fixed on the Vermillion Bird projection.
Yun Che increased his speed and soon moved away from them by dozens of miles. He then stopped behind a tall volcanic rock. After repeatedly confirming that there was no aura locking onto him, he quickly used the Flowing Lightning Hidden Aura to deeply conceal his own aura.
“Okay, now is the perfect time to sneak into the God Burial Infernal Prison.” Yun Che muttered.
The ruins of God are a million miles long. At the bottom there might really be a rare treasure that can allow him to enter the realm of divine calamity... and the probability is not small!
Yun Che restrained his aura and moved eastward at a slow speed for dozens of miles, then turned to the edge of the Fire Prison. When he was only a few miles away from the edge, he used the Broken Moon Shadow to be on the safe side, and his body instantly became invisible.
The extreme concealment of Broken Moon's Shadow and Flowing Lightning Hidden, plus the fact that the three Flame God sects' attention is firmly focused on the Suzaku projection... it should be almost impossible to be discovered.
Yun Che slowed down his pace and approached the edge of the sea of fire cautiously.
As he expected, everything went smoothly. Soon, he reached the edge of the Fire Prison. The whole process was safe and sound. There was not even a breath of air passing over his position. Yun Che took a deep breath, kept his breath restrained, and silently jumped into the Endless Fire Prison.
Yun Che’s body was instantly completely submerged in the roiling flames, and his invisible state also disappeared. Extremely high levels of burning power surged in from all directions, then transformed into streams of warm air, rushing into Yun Che’s body.
Being in the sea of fire, you can more clearly feel the surging power coming from afar.
As soon as he entered the sea of fire, Yun Che's body quickly sank, and in the blink of an eye, he had already penetrated a thousand feet deep... This was also what Huo Poyun had casually mentioned before, the limit of what Yan Wancang's spiritual power could reach. This meant that at this depth, even if the spiritual senses of the three Flame God Sect Masters were fully utilized to detect him, they would definitely not be able to find him.
Just like the Heavenly Netherfrost Pond, the deeper one went, the more terrifying the flame power of the God Burial Infernal Prison became. At a depth of a thousand feet, the level of the flames here had completely surpassed his cognition.
“A cluster of flames here is estimated to be able to burn up the entire ocean in the lower realm.” Yun Che muttered in a low voice: “It’s only a thousand feet, but it’s already so terrifying. It’s unimaginable if it’s further down. And such a terrifying place is actually a full million miles, and it has been burning for at least a million years without any signs of extinguishing.”
“The source of its power is that flame vein… huh.” Yun Che sighed softly. That flame vein was left over from the ancient True God era. The True God who ruled the chaos in that era was simply a group of beings in the world that could not understand it at all.
I'm afraid that even the pinnacle of chaotic power today - the God Lord Realm - will be reduced to insignificance in front of the power of a true God.
Without further ado, Yun Che roughly felt the speed at which the flame aura was pouring into his body. He did not stop and circulated his profound energy, sinking rapidly towards the world of flames below.
Two thousand feet...
Three thousand feet...
Four thousand feet...
Five thousand feet!!
Yun Che looked down at this moment, and suddenly saw a red arc of light in the distance.
In this place where the flames were so hot that they could not be described in any mortal language, any light was completely swallowed by the flames. However, this red arc of light was obviously very far away from him, but it was extremely clear and dazzling in the purgatory-like world.
Yun Che’s figure also slowly stopped at this moment… because his profound energy could no longer extend downwards.
Under your feet is the end of the God Burial Hell!
His feet were standing on a firm and flat object that felt like rock. However, in Yun Che's knowledge, any rock, even an ancient stone, would melt instantly if it came into contact with the flames here. Perhaps, the "rock" at the bottom of the Hell of Fire was also something from the True God Era.
The flame spiritual energy rushed into his body like a storm, but starting from a depth of a thousand feet, the absorption speed had reached its limit and there was no change afterwards... It was exactly the same as when he was in the depths of the Nether Frost Lake.
The depth of the God Burying Fire Prison is quite similar to that of the Netherfrost Lake, both are around five thousand feet.
Compared to the extreme purity at the bottom of the Dark Frost Heaven Lake, the world here is undoubtedly the most terrifying hell that humans can imagine. Yun Che stood there for a long time, and the thought "I can actually survive here" suddenly popped up in his mind.
Without forgetting the purpose of coming here, Yun Che began to move forward quickly. The extreme flames at the bottom of the Burial God Inferno Prison could not hinder his five senses and speed, but only became the source of his strength. However, the Burial God Inferno Prison was millions of miles long, and searching for rare treasures, relics, and the like was undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack. Yun Che sneaked in here, and it was a gamble on luck. He did not choose a direction at random, but moved quickly while looking at the distant red light arc.
That red arc of light is most likely the ancient flame vein that supports this God Burying Prison!
Yun Che passed through layers of flames and headed straight ahead in the direction of the red arc. As he quickly shuttled through, the world around him remained unchanged from beginning to end. The strange stone under his feet, the flames around him, the temperature, and the aura were all exactly the same. Compared to the Heavenly Netherfrost Pond, it was purer in another way, but much, much larger.
An hour passed...
Two hours passed...
The surroundings were still a pure world of fire. After traveling in the same direction for more than two hours, I didn't find any rare treasures or relics, and there was not even a slightly different aura. The only change was that the red arc in my sight became much larger.
"No, it's too long. It will take the same amount of time to go back... Let's search for another half an hour. Even if we still find nothing, we have to go back."
Yun Che muttered to himself rather unwillingly, and his speed of traveling through the sea of fire increased slightly. At this moment, his heart suddenly beat violently.
Yun Che’s figure came to an abrupt halt, and his palm subconsciously pressed towards his chest.
This feeling...
Something is calling me ahead?
This was a mysterious, hazy, illusory, yet exceptionally clear feeling, as if a voice from ancient times had struck his heart and soul hard.
Yun Che stared fixedly at the ancient red arc of light… He had a vague feeling that this strange feeling came from that direction.
What is it?
Could it be the same as the Ice Phoenix deity at the bottom of the Netherfrost Lake… an ancient deity that was not completely annihilated and stayed here forever in order to maintain its final existence?
Is it its soul calling me?
With this thought, Yun Che’s spirit instantly lifted, and his speed increased dramatically, rushing straight forward. However, after traveling a few miles, a huge shadow suddenly appeared in front of him, and the aura around him also changed slightly... There was an aura that did not belong to fire.
This is?
Yun Che's speed suddenly slowed down, and he carefully approached the strange shadow in front of his sight. As he approached, the abnormal aura became stronger at a very fast speed. When it became strong to a certain extent, Yun Che suddenly woke up...
This aura... is very similar to that of the ancient Qilin dragon!!
The projection of Suzaku's will can not only project images, but also sounds and some basic breath.
When he first sensed this strange aura, he had a vague sense of familiarity. Now he was certain that this was undoubtedly the aura of the Qionglong!
Could this be...
Yun Che’s speed increased again, and he soon arrived in front of the shadow that was about a hundred feet high and a hundred feet wide.
“Sure enough…” Yun Che muttered in a low voice.
This shadow was actually in the shape of a nest.
Being able to survive in this place, even without any breath, Yun Che was completely certain that this could only be the lair of the ancient horned dragon.
Huo Poyun had said before that the ancient horned dragon always appeared near the northern shore of the Fire Prison, and its nest must be in this direction... It turned out to be true!
I just didn't expect it to be this close. It seems that every time it sheds its scales and emerges, it will deliberately move far south in advance, probably because it is afraid that its nest here will be destroyed during the battle.
I actually stumbled upon the lair of the ancient horned dragon... Yun Che's heart was immediately filled with fear. Fortunately, he sneaked in at this time. Otherwise, he would not have been able to get close to here alive.
Now that I'm here...of course I can't come for nothing!
The body of an ordinary dragon is full of treasures, let alone this ancient horned dragon! Yun Che was excited and rushed into its nest excitedly.
Soon, he came out with a dark face.
Because this dragon's nest was so clean that it looked like it had just been swept. There was nothing but the strong smell of the dragon!
Even a piece of dragon scale would be fine...but there is none, not even a single dragon hair!
“Alas.” Yun Che sighed in frustration. “I should have thought of this long ago. Once something shed from the ancient horned dragon leaves its body, it will be instantly burned to ashes by the flames here… Hmm?”
While whispering, Yun Che's brows suddenly twitched, and deep suspicion flashed in his eyes.
Because less than a mile ahead, he saw another shadow.
The shape and size of this shadow were very similar to the dragon's nest where he was at the moment.
"What is that? This guy can't possibly have two nests, right?"
Confused, Yun Che moved his body and soon arrived in front of the shadow, then froze for a moment.
This is... another dragon's nest. And it is not only very similar to the one just now, but also basically the same.
Same size, same shape, same material, only the orientations are opposite.
They actually built two nests... Yun Che was quite speechless. It would be fine if they just built two nests when they had nothing to do, but they actually built two identical nests. Is there any difference in living in them?
But immediately, Yun Che's expression suddenly changed, and deep suspicion quickly emerged in his eyes.
Wait... why does the dragon breath in this nest seem to be a little different from the one just now?
The extremely high level of flames here would completely block Yan Wancang’s spiritual sense even if he came here and survived, but it had no effect on Yun Che. This nest also had the presence of the Qionglong Breath… However, Yun Che’s spiritual sense was too sensitive. He had just come out of the first nest, so his memory of the dragon’s breath in that nest was naturally very clear, but the transition to the dragon’s breath in this nest made him suddenly feel a sense of disharmony.
Yun Che quickly turned around and returned to the first nest. After a short stay, he quickly returned and entered the second nest. Then, he returned to the first nest again without giving up.
After going back and forth several times, Yun Che stood between the two nests, his thoughts in a mess.
What is going on! ?
There are two Qionglong nests here, and both nests have dragon breath... Although these two dragon breaths are very similar, they are clearly a little different! Could it be...
Suddenly, Yun Che thought of the Dragon Fault of the ancient horned dragon...
In the dragon-slaying battle a thousand years ago, the ancient horned dragon's Dragon Fault was injured. Mu Xuanyin and Yan Wancang were both extremely sure that it would be impossible for it to recover within a thousand years.
But today's... Dragon Fault is intact!
Could it be that...
Could it be that the ancient horned dragon in the God Burial Infernal Prison is not just one... but two! ?
And there are always two!!
Their molting period is not one thousand years... but two thousand years! ?
Every thousand years, two ancient horned dragons would shed their scales and appear alternately! The two ancient horned dragons had very similar auras, and they appeared a thousand years apart each time, making it impossible to tell them apart. And when they hid in the Burial God Infernal Prison, their auras could not be detected at all...
As soon as this thought came to mind, it quickly became clear. All the incongruities became logical under this terrifying conjecture.
Yun Che suddenly felt cold all over, and then he suddenly screamed and rushed in the opposite direction like crazy.
He no longer cared about the faint call of the soul, nor the ancient flame vein. All the profound energy in his body burst out again and again without reservation, wishing he could break through space...
Oh no! Master is in danger!!
But she broke the sound transmission jade... I couldn't tell her immediately even if I wanted to!
Since both ancient horned dragons are not in the nest, the other one is most likely hiding under the nearby hell of fire.
If this time is the same as in previous years and the hunt is still unsuccessful in the end, then the other Qilin will not appear as in the past... This is their design, and it is a trump card that will not be used until the very last moment!
But, this time is different! Judging from the appearance of the three masters of Yanshen before, Mu Xuanyin is likely to successfully hunt down the Qionglong this time... Then, at a certain moment before that Qionglong is completely injured, another Qionglong will definitely appear!
Mu Xuanyin shattered the sound transmission jade because she was afraid of being distracted in the slightest. When she concentrated her mind and tried her best to deal with the ancient horned dragon, her own profound energy was greatly depleted. Another ancient horned dragon was ready to attack her unexpectedly...
It will undoubtedly be a fatal blow!
“Hiss!” Yun Che gritted his teeth and forced open “Sky Blast”, his speed reaching the limit of his life’s limit… He now only hoped that Mu Xuanyin would not force the ancient horned dragon into a desperate situation, never.
Faster...faster!!
Who could have thought, who dared to think, that there would be two dragons in the God Burial Infernal Prison!!
The earliest record of the ancient dragon in the God Burial Inferno Prison can be traced back to more than 600,000 years ago. But from beginning to end, no one noticed this.
If Yun Che had not sneaked into the bottom of the Fire Prison, he would never have thought of it in his dreams.
These two ancient horned dragons were not only extremely powerful... but also extremely cunning! They had deceived and played tricks on the Flame God Realm for hundreds of thousands of years! !
