Wang Yan only smiled and didn't say anything. He waited for Xue Wuhen to continue.
Xue Wuhen snorted coldly when he saw him like this. "In any case, according to what I know, no matter what level of cultivation an expert has entered the Devilflame Ruins, all of them will die in the end without exception!"
Xue Wuhen emphasized the last sentence as if to emphasize it.
Hearing this, Wang Yan withdrew his smile and bowed. "Then I'll have to trouble Senior Xue to lead the way."
"You … never mind, I'll go with you this time."
On the eve of departure, something unexpected happened.
Wang Xian 'er, who originally said she wouldn't go with them, insisted on going. No matter how much Wang Yan persuaded her, she wouldn't agree.
"Fine, I'll let Xian 'er go with us."
Just as Wang Yan was about to explode in anger, Xue Wuhen suddenly chuckled and said meaningfully.
Instantly, Wang Yan was startled and frowned. "Even a Star Plucker would be powerless in the Demonic Flame Ruins. Xian 'er isn't a cultivator at all, she …"
Abruptly, Wang Yan stopped and swallowed the words he was about to say. His eyes flickered as if he was deep in thought.
Xue Wuhen's smile deepened. He inadvertently glanced at Wang Xian 'er with a complicated look in his eyes.
Now that he thought about what happened that day, he felt a lingering fear in his heart. It could even be said that it completely overturned everything he knew.
A soul cultivator without any astral powers and only knew how to use his soul had exploded a Star Plucker cultivator with a single finger!
Moreover, this Star Plucker cultivator had mastered the Power of Law and was a member of the Skyroad sect!
"Do you believe what happened that day?
With your sister going with us, we'll have an extra layer of protection. "
Xue Wuhen was right. The Demonic Flame Ruins was known as the top of the three forbidden areas in the Western Continent. It was obvious how dangerous it was.
For many years, countless people wanted to enter and explore, but in the end, they never returned.
This made the Demonic Flame Ruins even more infamous.
As a matter of fact, there had once been people who regarded the Demonic Flame Ruins as the most dangerous place on the Starsource Continent.
"Since that's the case, then … let's travel together."
…
It was a towering mountain peak that pierced through the clouds. The entire mountain was covered in green, and the scenery was marvelous.
However, the shape of this mountain was extremely unique. It was in the shape of a trident, as if three mountains of different heights had been forcibly merged together.
From afar, it looked like a gigantic trident pointing at the heavens, vowing to pierce through the sky and shatter the void.
"This is the Demonic Flame Ruins?"
Wang Yan looked at the verdant and beautiful mountain peak in disbelief.
This was completely different from a danger zone, and it was worlds apart from the Devil Flame Ruins that he had imagined.
If it wasn't for Xue Wuhen's guidance, Wang Yan wouldn't have believed that this was the infamous Devil Flame Ruins even if it was a trident shaped mountain peak.
"What? Surprised?
People often say that you shouldn't be fooled by the appearance of something. You have to see through its essence with a single glance. "
With a faint smile, Xue Wuhen looked at Wang Yan in ridicule. "Kid, looks like your insight isn't good enough."
"Right now, you can only see an ordinary mountain peak with your eyes, but if you use the power of your soul to sense it, you'll discover that this place is different."
Known as the greatest of the three forbidden grounds of the Western Continent, the Demonic Flame Ruins was infamous. It was enough to cause people to talk about it. It was known as the grave of experts.
If he could see through its essence so easily and see through its essence, would the Demonic Flame Ruins not deserve its reputation?
With that, Wang Yan slowly closed his eyes. The tremendous power of his soul in his mudball palace erupted loudly.
Although it was only a sliver, it made Xue Wuhen's expression change slightly. He could not help but sigh inside. Half-step Star Plucking really was powerful.
The terrifying pressure was well restrained by Wang Yan and did not leak out at all. Even Wang Xian 'er, who was next to him, did not feel any discomfort.
But suddenly, there were water-like ripples in the void. They overlapped and appeared in a rhythmic manner.
It was like boiling water in a large iron pot, constantly surging and distorting, creating waves of ripples.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the water-like ripples broke through the layers of air barriers and completely enveloped the entire trident mountain peak.
"This is …"
Wang Yan's body suddenly trembled. His tightly closed eyes opened, and a look of disbelief surged from the bottom of his eyes.
In his eyes, the ordinary-looking mountain peak had changed greatly.
Although it still looked verdant and beautiful to the naked eye, in the perception of Wang Yan's soul, it was shrouded in a gray airflow.
It lingered, twisted, and rose, causing the space around the entire mountain peak to be disturbed like water in a pond.
Moreover, this gray airflow was very similar to the real form of the Power of Law that Ye Rushui had developed, but there was an essential difference.
Because this gray airflow did not have any power, but it had the ability to interfere with space.
And the real form of the Power of Law was a terrifying power that could destroy everything.
Even with Wang Yan's soul of a Half-step Star Plucking State, he could not see through this gray airflow to see the whole mountain peak.
"Do you see a layer of gray airflow lingering and rising?"
Hearing Xue Wuhen's voice, Wang Yan came back to his senses. "What is this airflow? How can it block the invasion of the soul?"
"I don't know the details, but everyone calls it Demonic Flame, so it got the fierce name of Demonic Flame Ruins."
"I see."
Then, Wang Yan frowned slightly and thought for a moment. "How should we go in?"
"It's simple. Just walk in openly."
Hearing this, Wang Yan was suddenly dumbfounded.
The Demonic Flame Ruins was known as the first of the three forbidden areas of the West Continent. It was extremely dangerous, and even a Star Plucking State powerhouse would not survive in there.
What was the difference between walking in so openly and courting death?
"Young man, are you afraid?"
Seeing Wang Yan's somewhat shocked expression, Xue Wuhen grinned mockingly.
"There's no other way but to walk in openly. If you're afraid, we can retreat now. It's fine."
Hearing this, Wang Yan shook his head slowly.
Since they were already here, wouldn't it be too embarrassing if they left with their tails between their legs?
Moreover, the Demonic Flame Ruins was the only clue he had obtained based on the Eight Divine Formation Map. This place contained the inheritance of Divine Emperor Zang Tian.
Although it was only a part of the map, this place definitely contained the inheritance of Divine Emperor Zang Tian.
Otherwise, the phenomenon he manifested the instant all the black dots in the Eight Ultimate Divine Diagram lit up would be fake!
However, the Eight Divine Formation Map would not lie, and the illusion that seemed to have happened in reality would not lie.
Therefore, Wang Yan was certain that this trident shaped mountain was definitely the place he saw in the illusion.
The only thing that surprised him was that this was the first of the three forbidden areas of the West Continent, the Demonic Flame Ruins!
