Chapter 3398: Chapter 3393: Conquering Hellfire Mountain_1
Yang Chen looked at Xingtong’s eager expression and gently smiled, "Why are you in such a hurry? I know what you’re thinking and what the treasures in the Origin Land mean. But, what’s the advantage for us to rush there?"
"What do you mean?" Xingtong asked, puzzled.
"Think about it: a human and an Insect Queen working together is too conspicuous. If we are discovered too soon, it won’t be good for either of us," Yang Chen explained.
Xingtong thought about it carefully, Yang Chen’s words made sense, so she couldn’t deny it. She said, "You’re right, but we can’t just not go because of that."
"Of course, we won’t just not go, but there’s no need to go openly," Yang Chen smiled.
Xingtong touched her chin, glanced at Yang Chen, and chuckled, "You’re always full of tricks, Kid. Indeed, going openly is not as good as hiding in the shadows. Let’s not waste time; let’s go quickly."
"You go ahead first. I still need to check out Hellfire Mountain," Yang Chen said.
"You want to go to Hellfire Mountain?" Xingtong asked, puzzled.
Yang Chen replied with his hands behind his back, "Hellfire Mountain is also a treasure. It’d be a pity to miss it. If the Heavenly Palace is really that great, the forces in Hellfire Mountain shouldn’t be too strong."
"Won’t this be too risky?" Xingtong looked concerned.
"Don’t worry, I can escape at any time if things don’t go well. Besides, you know how fast I am. You should follow Fairy Qing Wan and the others now and find the way to the Heavenly Palace," Yang Chen said solemnly.
"Alright!" Xingtong knew that Yang Chen had made up his mind and didn’t say anything more.
Without any further delay, the two parted ways.
Yang Chen headed to Hellfire Mountain while Xingtong went straight to the Heavenly Palace.
For Yang Chen, getting to Hellfire Mountain didn’t take much time at all.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Chen appeared at the location of Hellfire Mountain.
The mountain range stood like a prison in the environment, surrounded by thick flames.
The blazing fire made the temperature here unbearably high.
Experienced cultivators could tell that this is a rare and dangerous place just by looking at the mountain range. Only Sky-separation Realm cultivators were qualified to set foot here. If a Great Ascension cultivator came rashly, they would have a hard time leaving unscathed.
Yang Chen now looked down from above, observing Hellfire Mountain and said to himself, "Hellfire Mountain is indeed as its reputation suggests. It feels like being engulfed in intense burning, and I might even get burned. I wonder if my Five Elements Laws can control this mountain range and take it into my space."
Taking in Hellfire Mountain, a dangerous place, is not an easy task.
This is why the Netherworld wanted Wan Tianyu’s daughter, the Holy Maiden of the Flame Spirit Clan.
However, it seemed that Wan Tianyu’s daughter and a group of Netherworld cultivators were not here at the moment.
"It seems that the Netherworld people have indeed focused their attention on the Heavenly Palace and have given up on Hellfire Mountain. There is no one here. It looks like the Heavenly Palace is of extraordinary value, causing Hellfire Mountain to be set aside by numerous powerful people."
After taking a closer look and searching carefully, Yang Chen found that there were no Netherworld ghost creatures present.
However, there were a few cultivators from the Spirit God Race in Hellfire Mountain, obviously with a purpose.
These Spirit God Race cultivators, all of whom had reached the Sky-separation Realm, were now carefully observing the surroundings, with Hellfire Mountain obviously being their target.
"Hellfire Mountain is indeed unguarded. Hehe, other powerful people have their eyes on the Heavenly Palace, which benefits us. We don’t have to aim too high. Taking this Hellfire Mountain and returning to our sect would be a great merit. If we really went to the Heavenly Palace, we wouldn’t know how much fighting there would be. In the end, if we don’t get the treasure and instead get badly injured, it would not be worth it," the Spirit God cultivators discussed amongst themselves.
Their discussions didn’t last long as they soon decided to act on Hellfire Mountain.
The Sky-separation Realm cultivators from the Spirit God Race were not unprepared to face Hellfire Mountain. Four of them stood in different positions and began to chant loudly.
Yang Chen didn’t rush to take action but watched from the sidelines, curious to see what kind of commotion the four Spirit God Clan members would cause.
Watching them, he saw the four Spirit God Clan members actually create a Great Formation.
The Great Formation encircled the entire Hellfire Mountain, with an enormous amount of firelight descending from the sky and connecting with the Red Sun. The firelight directly reached the entire Hellfire Mountain, causing the Formation and the Hellfire Mountain’s flames to attract and pull each other.
This attraction softened the power of Hellfire Mountain, making it less ferocious and lethal for the four Spirit God Race members.
Due to the Formation, the dangerous power of Hellfire Mountain became gentle and mysterious, making it difficult to discern.
Yang Chen observed from a distance, knowing that these people were using the Formation to pull Hellfire Mountain. When the traction reached a certain degree, Hellfire Mountain could be absorbed into the specific space they had prepared.
If they tried to forcibly take in Hellfire Mountain with its current power, it would burn their prepared space to nothing prematurely.
The first half of the process went smoothly for them, with no accidents occurring.
However, as they progressed, the four Spirit God Race members found it increasingly difficult to support the traction. The Formation seemed unable to generate much attraction for Hellfire Mountain.
Hellfire Mountain’s interior was turbulent and restless, causing the four Spirit God Race powerful ones to turn pale with fear.
"This is bad, why is this happening? Using the Heaven-Flipping Earth-Fire Formation, we should be able to contain Hellfire Mountain, but it’s causing such an uproar," they panicked.
"Something’s wrong. We can’t control Hellfire Mountain at all. Quickly retract the Formation. If Hellfire Mountain truly erupts, it will be disastrous for us," they warned each other.
The four Spirit God Race members were frightened and quickly withdrew the Formation.
Once the Formation was retracted, Hellfire Mountain finally began to gradually calm down.
Yang Chen shook his head slightly, "It seems Hellfire Mountain is not that easy to control. Relying solely on a Formation to take it in is not that simple. I don’t know if my Five Elements Laws can resonate with Hellfire Mountain. Anyway, it’s always right to give it a try first..."
