With the power of their attacks, even a planet could be easily destroyed, let alone a mountain.
There was something wrong with this mountain.
"Let's go!" Nong Zaitian crawled towards the entrance, afraid that he would attract the two's attention.
Lu Yin looked into the distance and saw that black and white colors were constantly alternating between each other. The attacks were so powerful that it made his scalp tingle, but Mr. Bai was able to deal with them with ease. The two of them clashed, creating countless afterimages as their attacks rained down.
They could not stay here, or they would be killed by the shockwaves sooner or later.
The two of them tried to escape through the underground tunnel, but the ground shook, and a strange flame appeared underground. It quickly spread and burned the entire mountain. The exit in front of Lu Yin and Nong Zaitian was also ignited.
The flames not only burned the mountain, but also the void, causing it to distort and burn like a piece of paper. A dark, empty space appeared.
Lu Yin and Nong Zaitian looked at each other and then fled without hesitation. These flames were not something that they could resist.
As soon as they returned, they saw that the top of the mountain was lit up. Nightking Zhenwu and Mr. Bai's battle had pierced through the mountain.
Piercing through a mountain was easy for them, but this one was different. Nong Zaitian was well aware of the mountain's strength, or else he would not have dug his way in.
When he saw that the top of the mountain had been pierced through, his face turned pale.
Mr. Bai suddenly dropped down and landed not too far away. He looked up at the sky and saw Nightking Zhenwu standing tall in the sky with an arrow aimed downwards.
Lu Yin was shocked, as he felt an unprecedented sense of danger. The entire space had been locked down.
"Wu Taibai?
I'll let you die under the battle techniques of your Sixth Mainland's Progenitor! "Nightking Zhenwu shouted as he released his right hand. The phantom of an arrow appeared in front of him, and the three feathers on his tail flickered as he fired an arrow straight at Mr. Bai.
Mr. Bai's face turned solemn as he stepped forward and raised his hand. An imprint appeared on his palm, and under the shocked gazes of everyone present, he grabbed the arrow and charged towards Nightking Zhenwu. "Fifth Mainland's Ten Arbiters, you underestimate me too much."
Nightking Zhenwu's pupils shrank, and he fired another arrow. Mr. Bai waved his hand, and a shocking collision pressed down on Lu Yin and Nong Zaitian. Lu Yin was already heavily injured, so he immediately fainted..
Nong Zaitian was not in a good state either, and his organs felt as if they had been shattered. He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked up at the sky, but he could not see Mr. Bai or Nightking Zhenwu's shadows. He struggled to his feet, but he did not care about Lu Yin. He leaped up and tried to escape, but he was forced back by a burst of flames.
The flames that were originally burning the mountain covered the sky, completely enveloping the entire mountain.
Nong Zaitian despaired. "It's over. I'm going to be roasted."
The appearance of this mountain was very peculiar. Flames surged out from the ground and enveloped the entire mountain. As the flames burned, the mountain collapsed and finally revealed a metallic luster.
As the mountain collapsed, a pill cauldron appeared within the flames. It was a pill cauldron used to concoct medicine. It wasn't a mountain, but rather, a pill cauldron, which was where all of the precious materials grew.
A furnace naturally needed to be burned with fire to refine medicine. The battle between Nightking Zhenwu and Mr. Bai had drawn out the flames that had been buried for countless years. Now that they had left, the flames were burning Lu Yin and Nong Zaitian.
Nong Zaitian had no idea that the two of them were being refined as medicine. He only felt that it was getting hotter and hotter, hotter and hotter until it was unbearable.
On the ground, the natural treasures began to burn one by one.
Nong Zaitian's heart ached, and he hurriedly extinguished the flames. However, the temperature on the ground continued to rise, and it was already starting to turn red.
Lu Yin was awakened by the heat. With the strength of his physical body, he would be fine even if he was tossed onto a star. However, he had been scalded by the heat of the underground flames.
"What's going on?" Lu Yin looked around. "Where's Nightking Zhenwu?
Where's Mr. Bai? "
"Why are you still worrying about them? You should worry about yourself first. We're going to be roasted!" Nong Zaitian anxiously shouted from a high vantage point.
Lu Yin stood on the ground and felt the soles of his feet burning. Even his shoes had been scorched. He looked up and saw the flames sealing off the exit. "Where did these flames come from?"
"How would I know? Think of a way to get out!" Nong Zaitian shouted back.
Lu Yin leaped up and forcefully endured his injuries as he used the Yu Secret Art. He wanted to either transfer the flames away or transfer himself away.
However, he failed. These flames burned the void and caused the surrounding space to burn, which was equivalent to isolating him in another space. There was a distance limit to using the Yu Secret Art, so there was no way for him to use it to escape.
Nong Zaitian jumped around like an ant on a hot pan. The temperature around him grew higher and higher, and the void within him started to distort. The natural treasures had all started to burn, and some of the natural treasures that had reached a level where they could avoid danger tried to escape, but they were forced back by the flames.
Lu Yin's face turned ugly, and he panted heavily. It was over, and he might really die this time. He had never thought that he would be burned to death in the end.
He walked to the side of the mountain and used his Skybeast Claw to crack the mountain, revealing a metallic luster.
Lu Yin struck the metal again, but there was a loud bang. There was not even a scratch on the metal.
"It's over, we're going to be burned to death!" Nong Zaitian cried miserably. He had already taken off his outer clothes, as it was too hot.
"Did your ancestor say where this place is?" Lu Yin asked.
Nong Zaitian bitterly replied, "No. My ancestor discovered it by accident."
Lu Yin kept probing, trying to find a way to escape, but it was to no avail. The most likely way to escape was from the top, but that path had also been blocked by the flames.
The ground had already turned red, and the surrounding mountains were collapsing. Everything was covered in a metallic luster, and the metal was also turning red.
All of the natural treasures had been burned, including those that had reached a level where they could avoid danger.
Nong Zaitian was sweating profusely, and he could not take it anymore. He panted heavily and kept muttering to himself, and his eyes were already starting to lose focus.
"Seventh Bro, what's wrong? Why is it so hot?" the monkey suddenly asked. He had been knocked unconscious by Nightking Zhenwu's attack and had only just regained consciousness.
"Where are we?
Why does it look like a furnace? "
"No, that's not right. That's a furnace. That's the flame of a predecessor's power. Seventh Bro, if I follow you, I'll die sooner or later."
Lu Yin had already been injured, and his head was still dizzy. When he heard the monkey's words, he helplessly replied, "We're about to die."
"Hold on! That flame comes from a predecessor's power, and it won't burn for long. Hold on, Seventh Bro! I don't want to die!" the monkey shouted.
Lu Yin opened his eyes. "What did you say? It won't burn for long?"
"Of course. This flame comes from a powerhouse's innate gift, and if that powerhouse is still alive, then this flame can burn for as long as it wants. However, this is the ruins of the Daosource Sect, and it's impossible for such a powerhouse to exist. This flame must have been sealed under a furnace by that powerhouse, and it must have been released due to pressure. But without that powerhouse's support, it won't burn for long.
"How long will it burn?"
"I don't know, but it definitely won't last long."
Lu Yin gritted his teeth and kicked Nong Zaitian away. Nong Zaitian woke up, and he looked at Lu Yin in a daze. He weakly asked, "What are you doing?
You won't even let me die in peace. "
"Hold on. In another day, this flame will burn out," Lu Yin said.
Nong Zaitian's eyes lit up, and he asked hopefully, "Really?"
"Really, but we have to hold on for one more day."
Nong Zaitian looked around and then took off all of his clothes. It would be useless if he didn't, as his clothes were almost completely burned away.
Lu Yin did the same.
"How do we hold on for one more day?" Nong Zaitian asked.
Lu Yin shook his head. "Think of a way yourself." He had lied to Nong Zaitian about a day's worth of time, as he did not know how long the flame would burn. With his current physical strength, he could hold on for one or two days, but any longer and it would be troublesome. He had to increase his strength — no, he had to treat his injuries first.
The air was filled with a sweet fragrance, as many natural treasures were being refined. Star energy filled the furnace and condensed into liquid form, which then dripped down like raindrops. However, it was incinerated by the high temperature and turned back into a gaseous state, which then condensed into liquid form again. This process repeated itself over and over again.
Lu Yin had a flash of inspiration, and he sat down cross-legged to absorb the star energy in the air.
The natural treasures were being refined by the flames, and their medicinal effects were fused into the air. Because of the flame's obstruction, they could not escape. Absorbing the air was equivalent to absorbing the medicinal effects of the natural treasures.
There were so many natural treasures, and aside from their medicinal effects, there was also an enormous amount of star energy. These natural treasures required star energy to grow, and over the countless years, they had absorbed far too much star energy. Now that they were being burned by the flames, all of the star energy was released and filled the furnace.
Even a normal person could directly become a Seeker if they took a breath here. They did not even need to cultivate as the star energy would push them up.
Not too far away, Nong Zaitian had also thought of the same thing, and he started absorbing the star energy in the air like Lu Yin.
The two naked figures absorbed the star energy within the burning furnace, and soon, the star energy within the furnace transformed into two storms that rushed towards the two. Nong Zaitian's star energy absorption speed was much slower than Lu Yin's, and when he glanced over, he was shocked. The star energy around Lu Yin was like a tornado, but Nong Zaitian's was more than ten times smaller than Lu Yin's.
This left Nong Zaitian speechless. His Nong family was a Cosmic Imprinter, and their cultivation methods and battle techniques were far superior to the average person's. Their star energy absorption speed was more than ten times that of a normal person's, but they still could not catch up to Lu Yin. Just where did this guy come from?
He seemed to know the Fifth Mainland's Ten Arbiters, but could he be someone from the Fifth Mainland? That shouldn't be the case, as everyone from the Fifth Mainland was a freak.
Cultivating here allowed one to absorb star energy much faster than in the outside world. Lu Yin opened his eyes and discovered that his body was being burned by the flames, and his star energy absorption speed was actually increasing. He did not know why, but perhaps it had nothing to do with his body. Perhaps it was because the star energy was being burned by the flames, making it easier to absorb.
He glanced at Nong Zaitian; this guy's absorption speed was not slow either.
Lu Yin closed his eyes again and activated the Sirius Art with all his might. The current Sirius Art had increased the number of stars in his body to sixty-five, which meant that his absorption speed was sixty-five times faster. However, in this place, his absorption speed far exceeded sixty-five times. The star energy was not being absorbed, but rather being devoured.
Such a terrifying devouring speed caused all the surrounding star energy to gather, forming a storm that quickly healed Lu Yin's injuries.
