Chapter 2045: Demon Mountain

Ye Futian looked ahead. There was a large lake. Beyond the lake, there was an endless mountain range. The end of the mountain range was nowhere in sight.

As expected, it was a world of its own, Ye Futian thought to himself. This was the Fuyao Secret Zone of Domain Chief’s Manor.

The vast army entered the zone. They were all Renhuangs. Compared to the lineup that entered Eastern Deity Island last time, this group was far more powerful.

The group that entered Eastern Deity Island last time did not have top-level Renhuangs. This time, many of them were eighth-tier and ninth-tier Renhuangs. They even had figures such as Jiang Yueli from Divine Palace of Fluttering Snow among them. Jiang Yueli was an eighth-tier Renhuang with a flawless Great Path. Her combat ability was almost at the peak of the Renhuang Plane. Aside from the giant level figures, it was difficult for anyone else to stand against her.

At that moment, silhouettes traversed across the sky and advanced on the surface of the lake. Even though there were fateful encounters in the secret zone, the Renhuangs would certainly not easily come across them. Hence, they did not need to be in such a hurry.

“Let’s go,” said Li Changsheng as he also Ied the cultivators of the Wangshen Watchtower forward. The vast army of Renhuangs scattered beyond the lake. Some of them traveled through the air while others moved on the ground. Their speeds were different, so the cultivators, naturally, got separated.

However, Ye Futian felt that he was constantly being watched. He did not need to investigate to know who was watching him. The cultivators of the Great Yan Ancient Royal Family and Lingxiao Palace had wanted to kill him. Now that they had entered into this zone, they would not easily let him escape them.

These two major forces also showed signs of having joined forces to target Wangshen Watchtower. It was possible that they were not just targeting him but the entire Wangshen Watchtower.

The lake was calm and peaceful. Everyone had just passed over it. Nothing had happened. Ye Futian’s group passed over the lake and stood in the region of the desolate mountain range.

Ye Futian gazed far into the distance. Even when he released his will, he still could not make out the ends of the mountain range. His will could only cover a part of it.

The mountain range gave off a desolate and ancient air. It was as though this secret zone had existed since the distant past.

Many Renhuangs had serious expressions. They did not dare to lower their guard. Since they were in a secret zone, it would not be an ordinary place.

As the Renhuangs entered the mountain range, they headed out in different directions like fish in the ocean. Ye Futian’s group kept heading forward. This ancient secret zone had an ominous aura that gave off a faint pressure.

As they continued to advance, someone discovered an extremely frightening scene to the left of the mountain range. There was a desolate world over there. Endless purple lightning could faintly be seen. The terrifying might of the Great Path of Destruction emanated from there.

Those present did not know what sort of place that was. However, many Renhuangs headed in that direction. Many cultivators from the Desolate God Palace stopped in their tracks and glanced over there. Desolation said, “Let’s go take a look.”

As he said this, his group headed over to the region. When they saw that the cultivators of the Desolate God Palace were heading over, many other cultivators backed down. The abilities of those from Desolate God Palace were too powerful. If there were a fateful encounter there, the other cultivators would have no means of contending with Desolate God Palace. They might as well give up and search other places.

Ye Futian’s group also saw the region. However, they did not head over, instead continuing to press on.

After a short while, they saw a horrifying scene to their right. The temperature there was surprisingly high. There was intense heat emanating from the area. As they glanced over from afar, they actually saw that the mountain peaks were scorched red. On the mountainsides, terrifying magma was flowing. The mountains in the region were all crimson. No one knew what sort of flame treasures were hidden there.

However, after they passed through this region, they discovered a world of ice and snow that was extremely cold. The world of ice and snow and the world of flames were next to each other. They formed their own individual spaces. The world of ice and snow was very chilly. However, Ye Futian and the others ignored both spaces and continued advancing.

Ahead of them, there was a jet-black mountain in their way. The ancient, jet-black mountain was shrouded in darkness. It gave off a mysterious vibe. One could sense the oppressive aura emanating from the mountain from extremely far away.

“What is that place?” someone asked in a low voice.

Ye Futian revealed a strange look and said, “Elder brother, why is it that I sense that this space is sealed-off? I feel as though a continent was sealed off and became the secret zone of Domain Chief’s Manor.”

Li Changsheng replied, “The secret zone of the Domain Chief’s Manor is not limited to one area. The Fuyao Secret Zone is just one of the many secret zones. However, your guess may be correct. The Domain Chief is proficient in the Great Path of Sealing. There is also an absolute treasure in the Domain Chief’s Manor. Indeed, it might be possible that this secret zone is a sealed-off space.” They were heading to a place up ahead that was near to the black mountain range.

As they gradually approached the black mountain range, they could sense an even more ominous aura coming from its direction.

Bang.

At that moment, they heard a terrifying explosion from far away. A scream followed it. The crowd saw a Renhuang flying backward. He was sent flying out from the mountain range. Fresh blood splattered around in the sky as he fell to the ground.

What happened? The figures headed over. Many people came up beside the injured Renhuang. They saw that his flesh had been torn off his body. It was a gruesome sight to behold.

Demonic beasts, thought the crowd as they glanced over at the ancient black mountain.

Ye Futian’s group looked over there from a distance. Ye Futian commented, “Such powerful Demonic Qi.”

“There are many demonic beasts,” said Zi Feng, who was beside him. She was a phoenix demon and was naturally very sensitive to Demonic Qi. She could sense that there were many demonic beasts in the mountain up ahead.

Ye Futian revealed a pondering look. This place seemed more and more like a sealed space. It was as though a continent had been sealed away. After all, to harm the cultivators in the secret zone, it would take a Demon Emperor.

Even if such a demon were to assume human form and leave this place, their standing would not be low.

The vast mountain range was formed from countless connected black mountains. It stretched across the land, seemingly sealing off the way ahead. If they wanted to continue forwards, they had to pass through the black mountain range.

At that moment, there was the sound of a violent collision. The crowd raised their heads and looked up at the sky above the mountain range. A huge, terrifying beast appeared there. Its wings blocked out the sky when fully spread. They could not make out what sort of demon it was. They only saw a gigantic pair of black wings sweep out, directly sweeping away the Renhuangs who were attempting to fly over the mountain range. A Renhuang, who was not strong enough, was immediately torn to shreds, and they perished on the spot.

This caused the hearts of many to tremble uncontrollably. Frightening dangers were lurking in the Fuyao Secret Zone. This journey was not as easy as they imagined it to be.

“You cannot pass over the mountain range. It would help if you went through it,” a silhouette said from the sky above. The person who had spoken was Ning Hua. As he said this, he traversed the sky and immediately entered the black mountain range from above.

Once he entered, a terrifying aura emerged and enveloped the endless space. A voice said in a cold tone, “You have come again.”

“Long time no see,” Ning Hua replied. He then kept advancing, heading deep into the mountain range from the sky. Very soon, the terrifying sound of violent collisions of the Great Path could be heard. It caused the hearts of the crowd to beat even faster.

“As expected of Ning Hua,” a cultivator said in a low voice. He told them that they could not pass over the mountain range from above, yet he had immediately done so, not fearing the demons within the mountain range. Ning Hua already treated this place as his training ground!
