"It's just ahead!
Our Fire Clan Ancestral Land is located within that valley! Look, that tallest peak in the center — inside is our Fire Clan Ancestral Land; it's a Small World!"
After a short while, a mountainous region appeared ahead, with ranges crisscrossing like giant fire dragons coiled upon the ground, their momentum majestic and imposing.
At the very center of this mountainous region stood a towering red mountain, engulfed in blazing flames from head to toe.
Seen from afar, it resembled a colossal torch thrusting up between heaven and earth, emanating an ancient aura, majestic and lofty, giving a sense of overwhelming power and momentum.
"This is actually a rare Extreme Fire Land!"
Ye Yunfei examined the fiery, vigorous mountainous region before him, focusing on the massive red peak in the center that looked like a torch. He immediately recalled a rare type of terrain recorded in Geomancy Techniques and was inwardly shocked.
This was because such an Extreme Fire Land possessed terrifyingly mysterious energy, capable of continuously gathering fire energy and fire laws from the surrounding space-time. Over time, it would form a fire domain.
No wonder the Fire Realm was perpetually rich in such dense fire energy and fire laws; this Extreme Fire Land was one of the reasons.
Likely, this Extreme Fire Land could not only gather fire energy and laws from within the Fire Realm but also absorb them from the Chaotic Void outside the Fire Realm, ceaselessly replenishing the fire energy inside!
Although Ye Yunfei had not yet set foot into this fiercely burning mountainous region, after using Geomancy Techniques to survey it, he had gained a preliminary understanding.
Of course, this legendary Extreme Fire Land was profoundly mysterious. With Ye Yunfei's current level in Geomancy Techniques, he could only interpret it superficially, unable to truly grasp its underlying principles.
"Let's investigate the situation beneath this Extreme Fire Land."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself, then gently stomped his foot. Over a hundred fire dragons surged out from within his body, stealthily infiltrated the ground beneath his feet and slithered toward the underground region of the Extreme Fire Land ahead.
*Rumble…*
Just as the over hundred fire dragons Ye Yunfei released entered beneath the Extreme Fire Land, the mountainous region ahead reacted. It trembled slightly. Though the movement was very subtle, a terrifying fire energy rose up, enveloping the entire mountain range, giving the feeling as if a peerless ancient beast was about to awaken.
Then, Ye Yunfei discovered that the over hundred fire dragons he had released were suddenly attacked by a dreadful, mysterious energy and exploded simultaneously.
Affected by the backlash, Ye Yunfei was forced to retreat five or six steps.
"This Extreme Fire Land is too terrifying!"
Ye Yunfei steadied himself and looked at the majestic mountainous region before him with a vigilant gaze, not daring to use Geomancy Techniques to inspect this Extreme Fire Land again.
"What happened?"
The woman in red, feeling the terrifying fire energy released by the mountain region ahead and seeing Ye Yunfei's strange actions, couldn't help but feel startled and asked.
"It's nothing. Your Ancestral Land is indeed sealed, and the seal's energy is extremely powerful," Ye Yunfei replied.
Ye Yunfei had already sensed that the tallest peak in the center of the mountainous region ahead was densely wrapped in layers of invisible chains.
These invisible chains were extremely thick, emanating a terrifying energy aura that tightly sealed the mountain from top to bottom.
"Miss, was your Fire Clan Ancestral Land sealed by Deities?" Ye Yunfei asked, releasing his own Soul Power energy in an attempt to perceive those thick, invisible chains.
However, before he could even get close, the energy aura emanating from those chains repelled him.
Ye Yunfei felt his Soul Body swaying unsteadily, nearly losing its balance, which shocked him greatly.
It was important to know that Ye Yunfei's current Soul Power energy level was actually equivalent to that of a Initial Demigod, plus he possessed two Soul Bodies and had a Soul Nurturing Tree protecting him. Yet, he still couldn't perceive those chains.
Moreover, his Soul Body was shaken just by being near them, not even making direct contact. One could imagine how terrifying those chains were.
"Yes, the traitor from our Fire Clan's ancient times was a Deity. He joined forces with several other Deities to lay down this seal," the red-clad woman nodded and replied.
"Several Deities joining forces to lay it down!" Ye Yunfei exclaimed in shock upon hearing this.
"A seal laid by several Deities… can you break it?" Ye Yunfei asked, finding it hard to believe.
"You might not know this, Young Master. Although this seal was laid by several Deities working together, over the years, our Fire Clan Ancestral Land has continuously resisted this seal. It's been a constant struggle.
The result of this struggle is that our Ancestral Land has grown progressively weaker, and so has this seal. That's why the Source Fire Sect has needed to send experts generation after generation to reinforce it periodically.
Otherwise, a seal laid by several Deities would require no reinforcement.
But, even as the Source Fire Sect's experts reinforce this seal generation after generation, they still cannot stop it from gradually weakening.
Additionally, the energy left behind by an extremely powerful ancient ancestor of our Fire Clan resides within that red palace I obtained. It should be able to break this seal here in one go!
When I escaped from the Ancestral Land back then, several elders in the clan had already told me the specific method, guiding me on how to find that red palace and stating that success was assured if things went smoothly."
The red-clad woman explained.
"Young Master, I must start breaking the seal now!
Once I make my move, members of the Source Fire Sect will come in endless streams to interfere and stop me. Please protect me!" The woman, knowing she could wait no longer, said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright, don't worry. I will protect you!" Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Young Master, let me pass on another one of our Fire Clan's secret heritage techniques for manipulating fire energy to you. If that Elder Hou arrives, you can use this technique to control your Six Extraordinary Flames in combat."
The red-clad woman pointed a finger, sending a strand of Soul Power information into Ye Yunfei's sea of consciousness.
Then, without looking back, she soared into the air, flying into the fiercely burning mountainous region ahead.
The Fire Realm was filled with flames everywhere, and this mountainous region undoubtedly had the most massive blaze. Surging flames rose high like thick, crimson tongues licking the sky.
The red-clad woman moved with incredible speed, shooting like a rocket toward the massive peak at the center of the mountainous region.
Faintly, a towering Divine figure manifested behind her, radiating astonishing fire energy.
"Who goes there? Halt! This is a forbidden area of our Source Fire Sect…"
The moment the red-clad woman charged into the mountain range, a group of guards appeared, blocking the path ahead.
*Boom…*
A massive fist, ever-enlarging, swept forward horizontally.
*Bam! Bam!*
The group blocking the way burst like bubbles one after another under the fist's impact.
Over a dozen members of the Source Fire Sect were completely befuddled, instantly killed by Ye Yunfei's punch.
"Please proceed. I will stop anyone who tries to hinder you," Ye Yunfei appeared behind the red-clad woman and said to her.
*Whoosh…*
The red-clad woman increased her speed, charging toward the towering peak ahead.
"Halt…"
More and more members of the Source Fire Sect appeared from the surroundings, rushing forward.
"All of you shall die!"
Ye Yunfei roared. Six different-colored fires shot out from his body, transforming into six vast seas of flame of different hues. These six seas of flame then morphed into six distinct types of weapons: a saber, a spear, a sword, a halberd, a lance, and a whip.
These six weapons simultaneously erupted with terrifying auras, attacking the incoming Source Fire Sect members.
As they attacked, these six weapons unleashed powerful suction forces, ceaselessly absorbing fire energy and fire laws from the surrounding world.
One miserable scream after another rang out. The members of the Source Fire Sect were simply unable to resist.
These six weapons, transformed from Extraordinary Flames, instantly killed most of them. A few who were slightly stronger could only hold out for a few moves at most.
Then, swarmed by the six weapons, they were hacked to pieces and utterly incinerated by the terrifying fire energy released, leaving nothing behind.
Ye Yunfei manipulated these six weapons, letting them continuously absorb fire energy and fire laws from the surroundings. The weapons grew larger and larger, suspended high in the air, radiating rolling waves of killing intent, their aura fearsome.
Ye Yunfei stood beneath these six weapons, walking forward toward the endless waves of Source Fire Sect members like a War God.
Many forces of the Source Fire Sect were stationed within this mountainous region. These personnel were stationed here year-round, preventing any outsiders from approaching.
Now, Ye Yunfei and the red-clad woman were forcibly storming the area, alarming all of the Source Fire Sect forces stationed here. They rose into the air, a dense multitude closing in on Ye Yunfei and the woman from all directions.
"Let the Vermilion Bird join the fight!"
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, the Vermilion Bird appeared beside him. Spreading its long, graceful wings, it soared up. Its sharp claws swiftly snatched two Source Fire Sect members who were too slow to dodge and tore them apart.
Under Ye Yunfei's control, the six massive weapons transformed from Extraordinary Flames charged outwards in different directions.
They forced the encircling Source Fire Sect forces into constant retreat, while Ye Yunfei unleashed his physical strength. Terrible power imbued his fists, each punch instantly killing five or six, sometimes even ten to twenty members at once.
These ordinary members of the Source Fire Sect were simply too weak for Ye Yunfei.
Although the techniques and combat skills practiced by these Source Fire Sect members were all fire-attributed, allowing them to fully utilize the surrounding fire energy and laws to unleash combat power surpassing their cultivation realms,
Ye Yunfei's mastery over manipulating flames had grown increasingly refined, especially those six weapons transformed from the Extraordinary Flames. Having devoured many mutated flames at the bottom of the magma sea earlier, their power had become formidable. The aura they released pressured the Source Fire Sect members, making their movements difficult.
"Let's test the burning power of the Six Extraordinary Flames now," Ye Yunfei thought to himself. Then, with a thought, the six weapons transformed back into six differently colored seas of fire, simultaneously surrounding over a dozen Source Fire Sect members and blazing fiercely.
*Ah…*
The trapped dozen-plus members immediately struggled desperately, emitting heart-rending screams. Within a few breaths, they were reduced to ashes, scattering with the wind, disappearing without a trace.
"The effect is quite satisfying," Ye Yunfei nodded with approval.
"You wretched woman, you must be that Fire Clan remnant. You actually dared come here to die!"
By now, the red-clad woman had rushed to the foot of the tallest peak at the center of the mountainous region.
Suddenly, over a dozen Perfected Heavenly Immortals appeared, blocking her path. One among them, a tall elder with a ruddy complexion, shouted loudly.
"Enough talk. Act directly. Capture this Fire Clan remnant first!" another elder said coldly.
The dozen-plus Perfected Heavenly Immortals from the Source Fire Sect moved together, charging toward the red-clad woman.
Before the red-clad woman could even act, six massive weapons arrived from afar, each radiating astonishing fire energy.
The six colossal weapons rammed through recklessly, immediately forcing the over a dozen Perfected Heavenly Immortals into continuous retreat.
Then, Ye Yunfei also arrived. Without a word, he threw a punch at one of the Perfected Heavenly Immortals. Horrifying physical strength erupted like a mountain torrent, instantly suppressing that Perfected Heavenly Immortal to the point of immobility.
"Fire, come!"
Panicked, this Source Fire Sect Perfected Heavenly Immortal immediately cast an advanced secret technique of his sect, attempting to summon the surrounding fire energy and fire laws to attack Ye Yunfei.
However, Ye Yunfei's six weapons were transformed from Six Extraordinary Flames, which absorbed fire energy and laws much faster.
At Ye Yunfei's will, all the fire energy and laws summoned by the Source Fire Sect Perfected Heavenly Immortal were absorbed by the six weapons.
*Bang!* Ye Yunfei's fist swept past, smashing this Source Fire Sect Perfected Heavenly Immortal into pieces on the spot.
"Too strong!"
The other Perfected Heavenly Immortals were startled, seeing their companion killed instantly.
With lightning speed, Ye Yunfei activated the Time Boots. With a single step, he was before another Source Fire Sect Perfected Heavenly Immortal. A direct, simple, yet devastating punch was thrown. Terrifying power weighted his fist, leaving this Perfected Heavenly Immortal terrified and unable to move.
"Everyone, save me!" The Perfected Heavenly Immortal screamed in panic.
"Kid, stop right there!"
The other Perfected Heavenly Immortals roared angrily, trying to charge over to rescue him.
However, the six massive weapons blocked them. Moreover, two of the Perfected Heavenly Immortals were sent flying by two of the weapons, coughing blood incessantly, already seriously wounded.
"Kid, just who are you!
Why are you helping this Fire Clan remnant? Have you considered the consequences of making an enemy of our Source Fire Sect?!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei's formidable combat prowess, the Perfected Heavenly Immortals were both shocked and furious.
These Source Fire Sect members were stationed here year-round, hardly leaving an inch. They knew nothing of Ye Yunfei's identity or background.
"I've killed many of your Source Fire Sect members already. Killing a few more won't make much difference," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
While speaking, Ye Yunfei had already punched and exploded the Perfected Heavenly Immortal he had just suppressed.
Then, he charged toward the other Perfected Heavenly Immortals, unleashing a fierce assault. Every move was shockingly powerful, without a hint of mercy.
Meanwhile, other members of the Source Fire Sect kept rushing over from the surroundings. The Vermilion Bird, with its sharp claws and crimson wings, bathed in rolling seas of fire, ceaselessly slaughtered one Source Fire Sect member after another.
As Ye Yunfei was holding back all the Source Fire Sect members, the red-clad woman encountered no interference. She quickly arrived before the towering mountain peak.
"Ancestors, aid me in breaking this seal!"
The red-clad woman let out a clear shout that shook the heavens.
*Boom…*
The towering Divine figure Ye Yunfei had seen before manifested before the red-clad woman, an awe-inspiring presence.
The red-clad woman pointed a finger to her chest, and several dozen drops of her Fire Clan's lineage essence blood flew out, landing upon the brilliantly radiant Divine figure.
*Rumble…*
The Divine figure abruptly erupted with an astonishing aura that swept through heaven and earth. Its somewhat illusory form began to grow increasingly solid.
