Along the way, Yang Dingtian did not run into any danger. After an hour, Yang Dingtian had successfully traversed dozens of miles of dense forest. Not only did he not run into any humans, but he also did not run into any powerful beasts.
In fact, it was because the Heaven Flame Phoenix in the Demonic Fire Cave was too powerful.
The entire West Arrival Island was its territory. Therefore, powerful beasts did not dare to set foot in this place.
When he reached the foot of the volcano, Yang Dingtian did not even feel the heat.
Looking up, the ten-thousand-meter-tall volcano towered into the clouds, majestic and imposing.
The entire volcano was bare, and the surface was covered with cooled magma. At this time, it was as hard as a rock, and it still retained the flowing state before it melted.
Entering the Demonic Fire Cave was easy. All he had to do was climb to the top of the volcano and jump in through the vent.
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and climbed towards the top of the volcano's crater step by step.
Although the volcano was steep and slippery, Yang Dingtian was still climbing at a fast pace.
After half an hour, he was already halfway to the top.
"Rumble …" Suddenly, the entire volcano trembled. Yang Dingtian almost lost his balance.
Then, a loud noise came from inside the volcano. The noise came from the top of the volcano and pierced through the clouds.
It grew louder and louder, louder and louder.
At first, Yang Dingtian could still bear it. But soon, he was squatting on the ground in pain. He felt like his eardrums were about to burst and his veins were about to burst.
The Heaven Flame Phoenix had discovered Yang Dingtian's presence. It was giving him a strong warning, warning him not to trespass on its territory.
Of course, because Yang Dingtian was too weak, the Heaven Flame Phoenix only issued a warning. It didn't fly out to kill Yang Dingtian because it didn't want to.
The Heaven Flame Phoenix's cries lasted for nearly ten minutes. Yang Dingtian's ears were bleeding, and his skin was bleeding profusely. Finally, the Heaven Flame Phoenix stopped crying.
Yang Dingtian let out a long sigh of relief and stood up.
He almost couldn't hold on any longer. The Heaven Flame Phoenix was too powerful.
Fortunately, Yang Dingtian has Nine Yang Profound Veins. If it was someone else, even a Martial Profound expert, they would have died under the cry of this Heavenly Flame Phoenix.
To be honest, even a Great Grandmaster-level expert wouldn't want to provoke this kind of Lord-level Demonic Beast that had cultivated for a thousand years.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Dingtian continued to climb.
Then, he realized that the entire volcano had started to turn red.
The magma stone, which had already cooled down, began to melt again.
This was really going to kill him!
Feeling the burning sensation beneath his feet, Yang Dingtian exclaimed in his heart.
It was another warning from the Heaven Flame Phoenix. The bottom half of the volcano was made of cold rock.
As for the upper half, it gradually began to burn red and melt.
If Yang Dingtian did not retreat, the mountain would completely melt and turn into fiery red lava.
At that time, not only would Yang Dingtian not be able to climb the mountain, he would also be burned alive.
Of course, he could keep the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl in his mouth.
However, the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl's energy was limited. If he used it now, how would he be able to defend himself against the Heaven Flame Phoenix's attack?
"Screw it!" Yang Dingtian shouted. Holding his breath, he ran as fast as he could.
He ran as fast as he could, faster and faster.
The magma stone beneath his feet was getting redder and redder.
When Yang Dingtian was three thousand meters away from the peak, the magma stone beneath his feet had turned completely red. The temperature had reached over a thousand degrees.
Yang Dingtian's boots had been completely burned away. They had been replaced by a pair of Frost Iron Boots.
However, when he was two thousand meters away from the top of the mountain, the cold iron boots on his feet had already started to burn red. Yang Dingtian only felt that his feet were getting more and more painful and hot. In the end, it was as if they were completely burnt.
When he was one thousand five hundred meters away from the peak.
The cold iron boots on Yang Dingtian's feet had already turned red from the heat. The fire-resistant sheath on Yang Dingtian's feet had also gradually burned through. Soon, it would reach Yang Dingtian's feet.
The Fire Immunity Chilling Gloves were made of Fire Immunity Silk. Yang Dingtian had spent over ten thousand gold coins to buy them.
Now, they were about to lose their effect.
Once they reached Yang Dingtian's feet, they would be burned away instantly.
Yang Dingtian had the Nine Yang Meridians. They were very powerful, but that was only when it came to defending against Xuan Qi attacks.
When it came to being burned by fire, it was the same as when it came to ordinary people.
Furthermore, Yang Dingtian's clothes were about to catch fire. The wig on his head had also started to curl up and was about to be burnt.
He was sweating all over. His lips were dry and cracked. His throat was as dry as a desert.
If this went on, his life would be in danger.
Yang Dingtian hurriedly consumed an elixir and made use of the remaining time to desperately run upwards.
After running for less than three hundred meters, he suddenly began to retreat.
Because the rocks under his feet had completely melted and turned into magma, flowing down continuously.
At this time, the temperature under his feet had reached an astonishing four to five thousand degrees.
The Fire Immunity Chilling Gloves under his feet were about to be burned through.
At this time, Yang Dingtian was unable to advance or retreat.
Did he really have to use the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl or be burned to death here?
The moment the Fire Immunity Chilling Gloves on his feet were about to melt, Yang Dingtian's brain suddenly moved. He tapped his feet and jumped into the air.
Then, he quickly took out the Night Owl Greatsword from his spatial ring and inserted it into the mountain. Then, his feet landed on the sword hilt.
He finally picked up his feet. If he was a second later, his feet would have been completely burned.
Yang Dingtian let out a long sigh of relief.
This Night Owl Greatsword was partly made of Night Owl's claws, partly made of Xuan Ice Cold Iron, and partly made of Bloody Black Gold.
These three materials, no matter which one it was, could not be melted by the magma under his feet.
But trouble came again. At this time, the magma was continuously flowing down.
Yang Dingtian's life was temporarily saved.
But he could not take a single step forward. Instead, he kept sliding down.
The magma was getting deeper and deeper. Sooner or later, it would drown the Night Owl Greatsword and burn Yang Dingtian alive again.
At this time, he was more than a thousand meters away from the top of the mountain. He could almost see the entrance of the Fire Cloud Devil Cave.
He had to think of a way to reach the top of the mountain as quickly as possible.
And Yang Dingtian discovered that the top of the mountain was pitch-black and there was no magma.
Unfortunately, he did not have two Night Owl Greatswords. Otherwise, he could climb up on stilts.
But as the magma got deeper and deeper, even two Night Owl Greatswords would be useless.
"Got it …" Yang Dingtian quickly thought of another way.
Ningning had put countless treasures and elixirs in his spatial ring.
One of them was the Condensation Pearl.
The Condensation Pearl condensed a large amount of water into a small elixir.
A Condensation Pearl with a diameter of three centimeters contained a few hundred kilograms of water.
As long as the Condensation Pearl was thrown into the magma, it would instantly explode. The few hundred kilograms of water would instantly turn into steam.
This would generate a powerful force that would forcefully eject the items on the steam far away.
The steam-powered catapults of aircraft carriers from the Earth era used this principle.
Of course, the steam explosion would be very powerful and the temperature would be very high.
However, Yang Dingtian's entire body was protected. Moreover, with his current physical strength, he should be able to withstand the damage from the steam.
Thus, Yang Dingtian took out a Condensation Pearl and smashed it under his feet.
"Boom …" A loud sound was heard.
Just as Yang Dingtian imagined, the Condensation Pearl exploded the moment it came into contact with the magma. Countless amounts of steam burst out and directly blew Yang Dingtian a few hundred meters away.
Immediately after, before it landed on the ground, Yang Dingtian threw out another Congealed Water Pearl.
"Bang!" The steam from the explosion blew him a few hundred meters away.
*****
"Bang …" The fourth Condensation Pearl exploded. Yang Dingtian, with the Night Owl Greatsword between his legs, was launched a few hundred meters away.
The top of the volcano was within reach.
"Bang …" Yang Dingtian landed on the top of the volcano.
"I'm finally here …" Yang Dingtian almost couldn't help but shout. It wasn't easy. If it wasn't for Ningning's Congealing Pearl, he would have been burned to death in the magma or had to use the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl in advance.
Then, the more dangerous game began. He jumped into the volcano and entered the Fiery Cloud Cave.
The Fiery Cloud Cave was ten thousand meters underground.
That's right. Yang Dingtian was ten thousand meters above ground. The Fiery Cloud Cave was ten thousand meters below ground.
Yang Dingtian had to fall twenty thousand meters to reach the Fiery Cloud Cave.
Along the way, he would have to face the Heaven Flame Phoenix's direct attack.
Half of the volcano had melted into magma. That was the Heaven Flame Phoenix's indirect attack. How powerful would its direct attack be?
Not even a Master Level expert could withstand its attack.
At this moment, the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl was on full display.
Yang Dingtian was about to take out the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl from his interspatial ring when he felt a chill run down his spine. The hair on his neck stood up again.
"It can't be, right? You're haunting me …" Yang Dingtian said in pain.
Then, he slowly turned around.
A familiar and hateful figure was standing behind Yang Dingtian.
It was the beautiful Dugu Fengwu!
She was still wearing Third Lady Gongsun's clothes, but her face was now Dugu Fengwu's. Her face was even more beautiful than Third Lady Gongsun's.
Thinking about what he had done to Dugu Fengwu, Yang Dingtian's scalp went numb. Cold sweat broke out on his back. Was he looking for death?
"Continue. I want to see where you got the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl from." Dugu Fengwu said coldly.
Yang Dingtian looked at the sky. After a while, he asked, "You … When did you get here?
Aren't you supposed to be unconscious? "
"I have been here for more than a day. When I saw you on the island, I immediately went to the volcano. I have been waiting for you for a few hours now." Dugu Fengwu said, "As for why I am not unconscious?"
Dugu Fengwu's face instantly turned cold. She said slowly, "After you left that day, I had already recovered my mystic qi.
At that time, I wanted to kill you with a palm strike. But if I killed you, I would not be able to get the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl. Therefore, I endured it.
You had to die, but you had to take out the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl before dying.
Therefore, I played hard to get and pretended to be drugged by your elixir. I rushed here in advance to wait for you.
Today, you are going to take out the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, right?
Don't tell me that the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl is not on you. "
"Demon woman is indeed a demon woman. She is indeed incredible."
Yang Dingtian couldn't help but sneer. "That's right. The Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl is on me. But you want me to hand it over?
Dream on … "
Dugu Fengwu sneered and said, "There is only a little more than two hours before the peak-grade Earth Fire blooms.
I will wait with you. If you don't take out the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, you can forget about forging a soul sword.
If you don't forge a soul sword, you will not be able to kill Ximen Ju and take back your Cloud Heaven City. "
"If I take out the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, I will die.
Do you think I am so stupid? "Yang Dingtian sneered.
"Since the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl is on you, I will just cut you into eight pieces and look for it," Dugu Fengwu said.
"Please!"
Yang Dingtian immediately opened his arms and said, "Please do it. If you can find the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl on me, I will be your grandson.
If you don't cut me into eight pieces, you will be my grandson. Oh no, my granddaughter … "
Dugu Fengwu's eyes turned cold.
A killing aura flashed by and scanned Yang Dingtian from head to toe. Indeed, she couldn't find any trace of the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl.
The Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl was an absolute treasure of heaven and earth, and it would definitely emit its aura.
Dugu Fengwu really couldn't understand. The Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl was obviously on Yang Dingtian, but she couldn't find it. She really didn't know why.
Earlier, due to the distance and angle, she didn't see Yang Dingtian taking out something from his spatial ring.
"Alright, you win, Yang Dingtian."
Dugu Fengwu said, "As long as you hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, I swear I will never kill you. Not only will I let you go, but I will also help you kill Ximen Ju and take back Cloud Heaven City. How about it?"
"No need." Yang Dingtian said resolutely, "I will kill Ximen Ju myself.
I will take back Cloud Heaven City myself.
Demon woman, you have been dealing with me for so long.
Don't you understand my character? "
For a moment, Dugu Fengwu's breathing became rough. She was really holding it in. She really wanted to chop Yang Dingtian into pieces. She had never been so angry before.
In just a few days, Yang Dingtian had made her suffer more than what she had suffered in the past twenty years.
"Alright, then we will wait here and see who can last longer. Anyway, there is only two hours before the peak-grade Earth Fire blooms."
Dugu Fengwu said, "Once the two hours are up, there is no use for me to keep you alive. Even if you hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl, I will still kill you."
After speaking, Dugu Fengwu sat down cross-legged and closed her eyes to regulate her breathing. However, her aura was tightly locked onto Yang Dingtian.
Yang Dingtian also sat down cross-legged. Anyway, he couldn't do anything now. As long as he moved a little, the demon woman would lock all his movements.
Anyway, it was a competition of patience. Yang Dingtian was waiting for an opportunity to appear.
*****
Time elapsed bit by bit.
Ten minutes …
Twenty minutes …
Half an hour …
An hour had passed …
There was less than an hour before the peak-grade Earth Fire blooms. Yang Dingtian and Dugu Fengwu were still sitting cross-legged on the ground without moving. It was a competition of patience.
Another half an hour had passed.
There was less than half an hour before the peak-grade Earth Fire blooms.
Time was of the essence.
The Fire Cloud Devil Cave was very huge, and there was only a small stalk of peak-grade Earth Fire. It would take a lot of time to find it.
*****
Another period of time had passed.
At this moment, Dugu Fengwu suddenly opened her eyes. She really couldn't hold it in anymore.
"Yang Dingtian, your temper is really bad and stubborn."
Dugu Fengwu sneered and said, "Very well, I will throw you down. I don't believe you won't hand over the Fire Immunity Chilling Pearl."
After speaking, Dugu Fengwu grabbed Yang Dingtian by the back of his neck and threw him down the volcano entrance.
