It was as if something he desperately needed was over there.
It seemed the Extreme Yang Divine Fire was truly here. Jiang Li took a deep breath.
The group continued to speed westward.
The surroundings of Lieyang Mountain were still engulfed in scorching heat waves.
Liu Xuan and the others felt their blood churning, as if affected by the heat.
The depths of Lieyang Mountain contained many rare treasures and spiritual materials of extreme Yang and rigidity.
Many cultivators with extremely high cultivation levels ventured into the depths. The battles there were even more perilous than on the outskirts.
As Jiang Li and his companions made their way, they killed many cultivators and obtained numerous precious spiritual items.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
At this moment, a violent roaring sound erupted from the western depths of Lieyang Mountain.
A fierce surge of energy suddenly billowed in the distance.
The energy wave shot straight into the sky like a towering flame.
It resembled a volcanic eruption, with countless flames bursting forth.
The air was filled with a dry, burning scent, and the temperature of Lieyang Mountain suddenly spiked again.
The sky itself seemed to be ignited by these flames, engulfed in countless fiery red blazes.
The flames appeared to want to burn the entire world.
"Young Master, look, something unusual seems to have appeared over there!" Liu Xuan exclaimed, his eyes wide with astonishment at the terrifying aura erupting in the distance.
In countless ages, Lieyang Mountain had never witnessed such an occurrence.
Even from such a great distance, this nearly world-destroying conflagration made Liu Xuan feel immense pressure.
The other cultivators beside him also felt the scorching heat, their Saint Yuan circulating continuously to protect themselves.
The surging heat waves churned outwards, seemingly intent on burning the entire Lieyang Mountain.
Jiang Li's gaze was fixed on the scene unfolding in the distance, where pervasive heat waves raged.
In the sky, numerous cultivators were fleeing Lieyang Mountain, creating a scene of utter chaos.
Confused shouts and scorching heat filled the entire Lieyang Mountain.
"Young Master, we..." Liu Xuan said slowly, looking at the sudden anomaly in the distance.
Given the current situation, should they still proceed?
"Food, delicious food, delicious food..." At this moment, a hoarse voice echoed from nearby.
The voice carried a powerful sense of pressure, sending chills down their spines. The surrounding heat seemed to inexplicably diminish.
Liu Xuan and the others felt a shiver of dread wash over them.
It was as if some terrifying entity had set its sights on them.
Jiang Li also felt an extreme discomfort, his body stiffening slightly.
"Swish swish swish!!!"
Immediately after, a black and red shockwave blasted towards them from not far away.
Jiang Li's scalp tingled. He circulated his potent spiritual power, forcing himself to break free from the rigid state, and then his body flickered, evading the attack range.
With the help of the cultivators behind him, Liu Xuan also managed to escape the attack zone.
Jiang Li and his companions dodged the black and red shockwave.
The black shockwave struck a nearby Fire Sun Tree.
"Sizzle!!!"
A black gash immediately appeared on the trunk of the Fire Sun Tree.
Black mist spread from the wound, corroding the entire massive tree.
Moments later, the entire Fire Sun Tree turned charred black, devoid of any life.
Jiang Li's pupils constricted. What a fierce technique.
This Fire Sun Tree was an extremely tough species of tree, its trunk protected by hard bark that even ordinary Saint realm cultivators could not break.
Let alone corroding it like this.
"Food, food, not yet, delicious food..." A group of cultivators exuding a terrifying aura appeared ahead.
They were all clad in large robes, emanating an eerie coldness.
Especially the old man at the forefront, who possessed an aura that could suppress everything.
"Who are you, and why are you attacking us?" Liu Xuan asked darkly, his gaze fixed on the suddenly appearing group.
These people dared to attack them; they were simply courting death.
Jiang Li also looked in the direction of the newcomers.
An old man in a black robe was looking at him with fiery intensity.
This gaze made Jiang Li feel intensely disgusted.
Jiang Li immediately activated his Life Script System.
[Name]: Xu Wuyuan
[Realm]: Great Saint Realm, Eighth Heaven.
[Physique]: Blood Fiend Body.
[Destiny]: Supreme Aspect (Purple), Astonishing Fortune (Blue), Hegemon of a Region (Blue).
[Life Script]: Supporting character in "Chaos Emperor," outer hall deacon of the Reincarnation Temple, ruthless, enjoys consuming human flesh and blood.
[Affinity]: 0
[Recent Turning Point]: None.
His life script appeared before Jiang Li.
An outer hall deacon of the Reincarnation Temple. Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly.
He hadn't expected people from the Reincarnation Temple to show up.
"It's a small world," or rather, "Enemies always meet."
He had killed so many of their people, and now he encountered them here.
Behind the old man in the black robe were several other cultivators, also from the Reincarnation Temple.
Through the Life Script System, Jiang Li discovered that these individuals were also Great Saint realm cultivators, though their realms were not as high as Xu Wuyuan's; they were all at the Great Saint Realm, Fourth Heaven.
They all exuded an extremely violent aura, as if intending to suppress the entire forest.
Xu Wuyuan ignored Liu Xuan's taunts and focused his gaze on Jiang Li.
Saliva seemed to drip from his lips as he looked at Jiang Li as if he were a delicious meal.
Eighth Heaven of the Great Saint Realm. Jiang Li's expression turned grim.
A peak cultivator at the Eighth Heaven of the Great Saint Realm was immensely powerful.
Without employing some trump cards, he might truly be unable to deal with him.
The cultivators brought by Liu Xuan were only low-level Great Saint realm cultivators, and they would be too strained to deal with this Eighth Heaven Great Saint.
Shortly, Liu Xuan, informed by his subordinates, seemed to realize how troublesome the opposing group was, and his expression turned extremely grim.
"Little brat, if you obediently submit, I can grant you a dignified end!" Xu Wuyuan wiped the saliva from his lips and said with fiery anticipation.
This kind of premium ingredient was best enjoyed in its most perfect state.
Any damage would spoil the taste.
Xu Wuyuan, having finally encountered such a delectable treat, wanted a perfect experience.
"Deacon, this fellow seems to be from the Shimo Sect, we..." At this moment, Hong Xiang, standing beside Xu Wuyuan, spoke up.
"Sizzle!!!"
Before Hong Xiang could finish his sentence, he saw a withered hand pierce through his chest.
