After Nie Tian and Pan Tao’s gang had separated thousand of metres away from the short mountain, they slowly came to a stop.
Nie Tian’s face looked heavy as he turned around and looked at the mountain that was still madly absorbing the heaven and earth spiritual energy.
The remaining people were still cursing at him and blaming him. They scolded him for acting of his own accord and rushing towards the center of the volcano at such a crucial moment. He had almost caused everyone to suffer a calamity.
An Shiyi didn’t say anything, but rather measured Nie Tian with full concentration. After quite a while, she asked with a soft tone, “Nie Tian… You’re in the Houtian Realm?”
The rest of the people became silent one by one after she said that. They came to curiously examine Nie Tian.
They felt that there were slight spiritual fluctuations in the surroundings, despite the fact that Nie Tian had his attention fixed on the short mountain and wasn’t moving at all.
These people, after going through the trial in the Green Illusion Realm, had all just broken through from the Lianqi Realm to the Houtian Realm. They all knew the greatest difference between the Houtian Realm and the Lianqi Realm.
When you were in the Houtian Realm, even if you did nothing, as long as there was heaven and earth spiritual energy nearby, the spiritual vortex that was within your spiritual sea, would still be able to slowly take in the heaven and earth spiritual energy and trigger subtle spiritual fluctuations.
“It really is the Houtian Realm!” Pan Tao shook his head and said oddly, ”You brat… You have already broken through just by staying within the mountain for two hours?”
Everyone’s faces also changed color.
They were all the people that had experienced the cruel training within the Green Illusion Realm. After returning to their respective sect, they had also wasted a good amount of time to understand their insights, and only then did they manage to break through.
The speed at which they cultivated wasn’t considered to be slow, but it definitely wasn’t smooth either.
Yet Nie Tian, just two hours ago, was clearly still at the Lianqi Realm and was weaker than them by one realm. How could they’ve expected that with just a bit of effort, Nie Tian would go so far as to break through?
“Hehe, I got lucky.” Nie Tian responded without thinking the matter through and confirmed An Shiyi’s guess. Soon after his face turned serious, and said, “Pan Tao, Sister An, do you guys know that the volcano that was regarded as dorment by you guys, actually is a completely different world in the earth’s core?”
“What do you mean?” Pan Tao said while being puzzled.
“Deep within the the short mountain, there is actually fiercely burning magma from the earth’s core!” Nie Tian softly let out a breath. “A layer of bizarre, crystal-shaped colored ribbons covers the magma. If my guess is not wrong, the colored ribbons, shape like a crystal net, which belongs to a part of the Heaven Burning Earth Fire Array.
“The range that was covered by the enormous Heaven Burning Earth Fire isn’t only limited to the three volcanoes nearby the entrance to the Ling Bao Court. From what I see, the entire Scarlet Flame Mountain Range is under the coverage of it!”
“How… How is this possible?” Pan Tao was overwhelmed with shock.
Both An Shiyi and An Ying were also surprised. They clearly weren’t aware of that fact.
“Nie Tian, are you sure you didn’t miscalculate?” Jiang Lingzhu also had an astonishedlook on her face, and she said, “The purpose of the enormous Heaven Burning Earth Fire array was just to protect the sect entrance of the Ling Bao Court, so how would it possibly cover such a wide range? Besides, there aren’t any volcanoes that exist in other parts of the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, so what’s the point of it covering such a huge area?”
Nie Tian showed a bitter smile, and said, “In order to seal an unusual beast.”
“Ah!” An Shiyi called out softly with her mouth covered.
“Nie Tian! What exactly have you seen?” Pan Tao concentrated his attention and asked.
“An Earth Flame Beast!”
Nie Tian took a deep breath, but didn’t summarize the unusual behaviour of the Flame Dragon Armor. He merely explained about the Earth Flame Beast within the lava lake and the restricting power of the crystal-net colored ribbons.
He also informed them that the Earth Flame Beast would soon escape since the enormous array had been undone and partly damaged.
“Dear god! There is actually an Earth Flame Beast within the core of the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range!” Jiang Lingzhu’s face color changed and she became agitated after she finished listening. “Legend has it that an Earth Flame Beast has the veins of a flame unicorn, so it is capable of gathering flame aura continuously with the power of its vessels! No wonder the Ling Bao Court would build their sect in the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range. It was because of the Earth Flame Beast!”
Unusual lights circulated around An Shiyi’s dark pupils. She pondered for a while and then seemed as if she had gradually thought about something.
She was convinced in Nie Tian’s judgement. She knew that Nie Tian would never lie. Since there really was a living Earth Flame Beast deep within the earth’s core, but it had obviously been imprisoned, the Heaven Burning Earth Fire certainly must have been created by a certain expert from the older generation of the Ling Bao Court.
“Heaven Burning Earth Fire!”
She suddenly remembered that the true constructor of the enormous Heaven Burning Earth Fire spell was none other than the current head of the sect, Hou Zhengchen’s master.
And the Ling Bao Court also seemed to have been previously moved from other areas of the mythical realm to the the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range, where it was rebuilt during Hou Zhengchen’s master’s generation.
In a flash, she understood the reasons behind the move.
“That Earth Flame Beast is about to escape from the lava lake in the earth’s core?” Pan Tao had a frightened look across his whole face.
Nie Tian nodded his head. “It shouldn’t take too long.”
As soon as he said that, everyone suddenly became panicked. They all felt that a great catastrophe was on the verge of happening.
“Once the Earth Flame Beast rushes out from the earth’s core, the raging magma flames that were condensed because of it would madly erupt!” An Shiyi’s blossom face also lost its color. She continued, “If, according to what you say, the earth’s core deep within the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range is overflowing with magma, then all of the dead volcanoes in Flame Mountain will immediately erupt as soon as the Earth Beast comes out!”
“Then, the mountain streams, creek rivers, stone paths, as well as the forest of the whole Scarlet Flame Mountain Range will possibly be covered with blazing lava!”
“The magma that is condensed by the Earth Flame Beast is at a terrifyingly high temperature. It is capable of causing our entire fleshy body to melt down into a bloody pulp!”
“Run! Run quickly! At your fastest speed, get away from the Scarlet Flame Mountain Range!” Pan Tao’s mind was in a great hurry, as if it was about to burn to a crisp.
Looking at his appearance, it was as if the short mountains in the surrouding area would spout out boiling magma in the next moment and flood him in a flash.
Nie Tian glanced at the short mountain. He suddenly realized that the short mountain had already become as red as a fire stone.
He also realized that a dark, red-colored, fiery mist seemed to be coming out from each and every stone cave.
At that moment, even though the Flame Dragon Armor was clearly still deep within the earth’s core below the short mountain, he could vaguely feel the violent aura emitted by it despite the extremely long distance.
