Asura Continent

Lu Yang entered the flame door and saw the scene in front of him. He couldn't help but take in a breath of cold air.

This was a huge cave that looked like a cave. The entire cave was surrounded by fiery red stone walls. The stone walls were abnormally smooth and there were small, neat words carved on it along with pictures of some people. Those words were abnormally plain. If someone who wasn't proficient in ancient languages had come here, they wouldn't have been able to understand them.

At this moment, the cold and emotionless voice sounded out once more, "Welcome to the gates of fire …"

Lu Yang stared at the pattern on the stone wall and looked at it carefully. The middle-aged man had raised his head to look at the world, and there were nine flame marks on his forehead, and what surprised him the most were his eyes. There were actually nine fire dots of light, and those dots of light seemed to contain some sort of energy that caused the sky to lose its luster.

"Is this a divine ability?" Lu Yang thought in his heart as he looked at the words on the side.

"Forbidden divine ability, the Nine Netherworld Flame. Burning through the heavens and the earth, scattering one's soul."

These 16 words were abnormally inexperienced. After Lu Yang saw them, he still couldn't understand the meaning behind them. Thankfully, these words contained a specific explanation as well as the sacred art's cultivation method. Lu Yang stared at the words. He didn't know how much time had passed, but after he finished reading all the words and diagrams, he finally understood what kind of sacred art it was.

Obviously, this was a powerful forbidden technique. Only cultivators at the sixth fire realm and above could practice this powerful forbidden technique. This sacred art was extremely difficult to cultivate, the first thing he had to do was to find a place with Yin Corpses, then find the nine dead souls, the higher their cultivation, the easier it was to condense this sacred art.

A bloody hell appeared in Lu Yang's mind. Doesn't that place match up to the standards? As for the souls of the nine dead, it wasn't too difficult. There were too many lost souls in the soul flag, and many of them were Nascent Soul stage cultivators. If their souls were refined into the Nine Netherworld Flame, the chances of success were very high.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Lu Yang's face. If he could cultivate this sacred art here, after he gets out of here, even if he faced a Fire God Stage expert, they wouldn't be able to kill him. However, cultivating this art required a cultivation level of six fires and above. Could he succeed with his current cultivation?

Wait a minute, isn't Fire Peak also a Five-fire realm cultivator? Why is he able to cultivate a forbidden technique?

Suddenly, he thought of a possibility. Huo Feng was indeed in the Five-fire realm, but his aura was stronger than ordinary Five-fire realm cultivators. It was evident that the spiritual energy in his body was purer. He had to participate in the examination to enter the Skyblaze Sect, and the fate of the examinees lay in the hands of the mountain of fire.

The answer was already obvious. In order to cultivate a forbidden art, Huo Feng had absorbed the fire spiritual force, making the spiritual force in his body even purer. Since Huo Feng could cultivate in forbidden arts, why couldn't he? Although Lu Yang's cultivation was only at the Five-Fire realm, he still had a nascent soul in his dantian. With the two energies combined, he was probably not much weaker than the Fiery Blaze Peak.

As these thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Yang decided to take a gamble. He slapped the storage bag at his waist, took out the Blood Devouring Saber, and then entered the bloody hell inside the saber. Lu Yang took out the soul flag, retrieved nine souls, and then, following the cultivation method on the stone wall, spat out a mouthful of yellow flame, and merged it into his first soul.

Merging the soul into the fire seemed simple, but it was actually very difficult. If one wasn't careful, the fusion would fail and everything would start anew. Lu Yang was silent, he wasn't in a hurry. After all, there were a lot of souls inside the soul flag, so even if it fails, it's fine to continue fusing. As for the spiritual energy in his body, that's even less of a worry.

Just like this, Lu Yang stayed in the Nine Profound Space to cultivate his first divine ability, but all sorts of major events occurred in the outside world.

The third year after Lu Yang's disappearance, all of the Fire God experts of the Skyblaze Sect had arrived, welcoming an old man.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the first mountain peak. The old man landed on the platform, looked at the five Fire God experts, and nodded slightly. If Lu Yang was here, he would definitely be able to recognize this powerhouse. He was the strongest in the Skyblaze Region, one of the nine former sects, the second generation of the Skyblaze Sect.

The other five Fire God experts were all Peak Masters of the five mountain peaks. Huo Fei's father, the fourth generation Fire God, was one of them.

Huo Tian looked at the crowd, coughed lightly, and said in a low voice, "Everyone, let me tell you a piece of good news. The Nine Profound Space will open in a month."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned for a moment before revealing a look of surprise and joy.

No one was unfamiliar with the Nine Profound Space. It belonged to a place where the nine regions of the Darknorth Continent intersected. That place was a valley, and was extremely mysterious. Only a few experts knew that it was the place where the Nine Mystical Jade Wall was formed. A powerful formation was naturally formed in the valley, and no matter how powerful the cultivators were, they were unable to enter.

However, no one knew when the formation would disappear over the years. There was no rule, and only the combined power of the nine experts could roughly estimate the time before it was activated. Once this space was opened, countless more cultivators would enter. The lowest was in the fourth fire realm, the highest was in the fifth fire, and those above the sixth fire didn't have the chance to enter.

After entering the Nine Profound Space, one could obtain great lucky chances. If one was lucky, their cultivation could rapidly increase, and could even break through from the fourth fire realm to the sixth fire realm. Over the years, many experts of the sixth fire realm had broken through there. Of course, if one was unlucky, then the increase in their cultivation base would be limited.

Huo Tian briefly explained the rules of the Nine Mystical Space opening this time. After that, he added, "Let those foreign cultivators join in as well!"

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. The third generation Fire God could not help but say: "Second generation, you have to give me an explanation. They were not allowed to enter in the past few years, so why are they allowed to enter this time? "Besides, they cultivate their dantian. Our fleshly bodies have different methods of cultivation, so the benefits they get by entering are limited."

"This is the opinion of the Nine Gods Sect." Huo Tian didn't explain. Instead, he calmly looked at his opponent.

The third generation Fire God wanted to say something, but the fourth generation stepped forward and said, "The third generation, I think it's not bad to let them go. In any case, they won't get any benefits, so we'll just treat it as them going to see the world."

"Humph!" The Third Generation stared at the Fourth Generation without another word.

The reason the Fourth Generation Fire God said this was because he really wanted to use this opportunity to let his son kill Lu Yang. In this period of time, he had spent a lot of effort to help his son increase his cultivation. Not only did he give him a large amount of treasures, but he also helped him increase his cultivation, making his cultivation level similar to the peak of fire, infinitely close to the realm of six fires.

If he could kill Lu Yang in the Nine Profound Space, those lost treasures would return to his son.

In the following time, Huo Tian spoke a few more words before leaving the peak. He arrived at the cave he cultivated in the past, and then began to meditate and rest.

The other five Fire Gods also left. The fourth generation Fire God returned to the fifth mountain peak and even went to the seventh mountain. He had Zhang Yue open up the array to search for Lu Yang, but he still didn't come down. If he had, he could have killed Lu Yang without a shred of hesitation. But now, it was different. One month later, the Nine Profound Space would open and the second generation would be keeping watch. During this period of time, they absolutely could not kill anyone.

Returning to the fifth mountain peak, the fourth generation Fire God called his son over and explained the situation.

Huo Fei was ecstatic. He asked, "Father, can I become the next Fire God?"

"Humph!" "Do you think it's easy for Wu Huo to break through to the Sixth Flame? Although so many cultivators have gone there over the years, just how many people can actually break through to the Sixth Flame?" The fourth generation Fire God said in a deep voice, "That is about luck and good fortune. If you cannot comprehend the true meaning of fire, even if you absorb 100,000 fire bugs, it will still be very difficult to break through. Do you understand?"

"I know." Huo Fei was shocked. He lowered his head and drooped it.

Seeing the look on his son's face, the fourth generation fire god felt that his words had become more serious. He said, "It's not like my son doesn't have a chance. I believe you can do it."

"Really?" Huo Fei smiled again. "Actually, I think so too."

"..."

The fourth generation Fire God was a little speechless. He felt that this son of his was somewhat hopeless and said: "That, if we enter the Nine Profound Dimension and see that kid Lu Yang, remember to kill him."

"Father, don't worry. In the past, I was no match for him. This time, I will let him die without a burial ground." Huo Fei said affirmatively, as if he could really kill Lu Yang.

On the first mountain peak, Huo Feng sat inside his cave. He had also received the news and said with a cold smile, "Lu Yang, I don't know if you will enter or not, but I really hope that you will go. When the time comes, I'll let you know how powerful I am."

On the other mountain peaks, those geniuses were also roaring in rage. They were also preparing to attack Lu Yang in the Nine Profound Space.

Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, a month had passed and Lu Yang still had not come out.

This morning, the voice of the third generation Fire God came from the first mountain peak. "Nine Mystical Sect's Four Flames and above, listen up. Immediately come to the plaza on the first mountain peak …"

On the seventh mountain peak, Zhang Yue and Lin Li were currently drinking. When they heard these words, they both let out bitter smiles.

"It's time to open the Nine Profound Space again. Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with us." Zhang Yue said as he gulped down the wine.

Lin Li did not think so. He waved his hand and said, "How can it be okay. We have been the most free these days, so no one will come and cause trouble for us."

"Indeed. I hope they don't come back after leaving. When I see those so-called geniuses, I really want to slap them on the ground. I can't even dig them out." Borrowing the alcohol, Zhang Yue laughed loudly.

However, not long after he started laughing, Zhang Yue's laughter abruptly stopped.

"The cultivators of the seventh mountain, you can enter the Nine Mystical Space as well. If you wish, you can come here immediately."

Zhang Yue opened his eyes wide, he suspected that he heard wrongly, and said in a daze: "No way! We can go too? "

"I heard it too. They aren't joking with us, right?!" Lin Li also felt this was too unbelievable. They were not allowed to go in the past, so why could they go this time?

"Shall we go?" Zhang Yue recalled that there was no point in staying here. Other than drinking, there was almost nothing else.

"Will we be able to come back?" Lin Li had a lot of thoughts on his mind. He was afraid that he would be killed by those geniuses.

Just when the two were hesitating whether they should go or not, a figure suddenly appeared. It was Lu Yang who came out of the Nine Profound Space.
