The cultivators behind the green-haired elder all felt their scalps tingle.
Xu Wuyuan, even more so.
Under the oppressive aura of the green-haired elder, he felt as though he could be crushed at any moment.
"Swish!!!"
Following that, the middle-aged man's hand flung out numerous black crawling insects.
Patches of black crawling insects passed through Xu Wuyuan's body, directly burrowing into his flesh and blood.
Xu Wuyuan's pupils contracted, his blood-soaked mouth agape. The crawling insects wriggled within him, ceaselessly gnawing at his life force.
"No, no... Elder Lin, no..." Xu Wuyuan's eyes rolled back, his body trembling uncontrollably.
The Saint Yuan within him circulated continuously, attempting to eradicate these crawling insects.
However, the insects seemed to be protected by a mysterious power, utterly unfazed by Xu Wuyuan's Saint Yuan.
No matter how Xu Wuyuan channeled his inner strength, it had no effect.
Within the mountain peak, Xu Wuyuan's wails and shrill screams echoed incessantly.
The surrounding cultivators were all infected by the sounds, growing somewhat terrified.
It was difficult to imagine what kind of pain would cause a top-tier Great Saint level cultivator to emit such agonizing cries.
Xu Wuyuan continued to emit painful wails and screams.
The shrill sounds lingered on the mountain peak for a long time.
After a long while, Xu Wuyuan had been tormented beyond recognition, his body devoid of any blood color. His emaciated form was like firewood, utterly devoid of life.
"Spare... spare my life... I... I... I dare not again..." Xu Wuyuan trembled, his eyes hollow.
The green-haired elder narrowed his eyes, his gaze towards Xu Wuyuan filled with utter disdain.
"Hmph, if you weren't of some use, I would have eliminated you long ago!" the green-haired elder snorted coldly.
With a wave of his right hand, the crawling insects within Xu Wuyuan's body immediately departed, returning to the green-haired elder's hand.
"Speak. What happened in Fiery Mountain!" the green-haired elder then said indifferently.
Xu Wuyuan, without time to tend to his injuries, trembled incessantly and began to recount his recent experiences in Fiery Sun Mountain...
...
Deep within Fiery Sun Mountain.
The scorching aura was about to melt the entire space.
Everywhere was extreme heat, like molten lava.
Hot airwaves constantly rippled through the surroundings.
"It should be just ahead!" Jiang Li embraced Luo Yunxi, and the two of them sped forward.
Thanks to the Fire-Repelling Pearl and the Yin cold aura released by Luo Yunxi's Taiyin Divine Body, Jiang Li did not feel the surrounding heat, but he could still hear the violent whistling sounds around them.
The various plants and trees in the vicinity had completely lost their vitality.
It was a scene resembling the end of the world, with terrifying heat seemingly bent on destroying everything.
The "Melting Fire Scripture" within Jiang Li's body was constantly active.
However, the Extreme Nether Demonic Saint Flame within Jiang Li seemed to be suppressed by this divine fire, unable to stir in the slightest.
As expected of a divine-tier exotic flame, Jiang Li's eyes lit up.
The level suppression among exotic flames was even stronger than Jiang Li had imagined.
Jiang Li's Extreme Nether Demonic Saint Flame was merely a Saint-tier exotic flame, yet in the face of the divine-tier Extreme Yang Divine Fire, it didn't even dare to show its face.
This was simply unimaginable.
Jiang Li eagerly anticipated how much his "Melting Fire Scripture" would evolve if he could refine this Extreme Yang Divine Fire.
His cultivation would also definitely increase significantly.
Luo Yunxi, held in Jiang Li's arms, looked slightly pale, her delicate body clinging tightly to Jiang Li.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!"
As the two continued to fly forward, terrifying flames suddenly erupted from the ground.
These flames carried an extremely terrifying aura.
Jiang Li's vast spiritual power poured out, instantly capturing the hot aura.
Immediately, Jiang Li unleashed the Kunpeng Treasure Art, his body transforming into a Kunpeng, soaring through heaven and earth.
The flames erupting from the ground could not hit Jiang Li in the slightest.
"Rumble!!!"
These flames seemed to possess great sentience. Sensing Jiang Li's profound movement technique, they erupted with an even more ferocious energy.
The bursting flames formed a torrential force.
They surged throughout the entire space.
Luo Yunxi's heart tensed. Her Taiyin Divine Body continuously released a cool aura, spreading around the two of them in an attempt to protect them.
Jiang Li's pupils constricted, knowing he could not evade this.
Furthermore, the Fire-Repelling Pearl seemed insignificant in the face of this magnificent blaze.
Immediately, Jiang Li unleashed the Grand Void Technique.
The Void King Body was also pushed to its extreme by Jiang Li.
The power of the Grand Void Technique and the Void King Body erupted simultaneously, and Jiang Li, embracing Luo Yunxi, merged with the void, becoming nothingness.
"Swish, swish, swish!!!"
The instant they merged with the void, terrifying flames surged through the entire space.
Everywhere, extreme flames churned.
Countless tremors echoed through the space.
Clearly, this attack had surpassed the limit of what space could bear, and sounds of tearing could be heard everywhere.
Both Jiang Li and Luo Yunxi felt their scalps tingle.
Even with them merged with the void, they still felt an incomparably terrifying aura.
No wonder no one dared to venture into the depths of Fiery Sun Mountain, Jiang Li murmured to himself.
Without the Grand Void Technique, Jiang Li would likely have paid an extremely heavy price.
These flames were simply too terrifying.
It was beyond what ordinary cultivators could imagine.
What could Saints or Saint Kings do? They could not traverse freely. Even Great Saint experts would pale in comparison before these flames.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!!"
The flames churned ceaselessly, burning everything around them into nothingness.
Jiang Li, within the void, stared intently at the flames.
These flames were truly too terrifying, frighteningly powerful.
Before long, the surrounding mountains and desolate forests were completely destroyed, and the tide-like flames slowly dissipated.
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief. If these flames had continued to rage on,
His Grand Void Technique would not have been able to sustain itself for long; the consumption was simply too immense.
Even with his Void King Body and the cultivation of the "Reincarnation Immortal Scripture," he could not sustain such expenditure.
After confirming that the flames had receded, Jiang Li and Luo Yunxi withdrew from their void-merged state.
They exchanged a glance, seeing a trace of lingering fear in each other's eyes.
The surroundings were now a clean, empty expanse, everything having been incinerated.
Only endless desolation met their gaze.
"Brother Jiang Li, look, what is that!"
Just then, Luo Yunxi's face turned exceptionally pale once more as she looked up at the sky not far away.
A massive fiery dragon was circling in the air. The fiery dragon, with its extremely majestic gaze, stared intently at Jiang Li and Luo Yunxi.
