"Since that's the case, let's depart as soon as possible."
Ye Lin nodded calmly.
Ye Lin followed Xuan Hu out of the Outer Sect area of Nameless Mountain, walking continuously in one direction.
Nameless Mountain is vast; even a Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator flying at full speed would not be able to fly out of the Nameless Mountain region in several days.
Even just the Outer Sect area of Nameless Mountain is tens of thousands of miles in size.
And within these tens of thousands of miles, there are not only Outer Sect Disciples of Nameless Mountain but also countless Yao Beasts in various places.
These Yao Beasts are specially raised for the Outer Sect Disciples to gain experience.
They are all Golden Core Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage Yao Beasts; as for Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beasts, there are also many, but Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beasts will not make a move.
They live in the Nameless Mountain region, knowing their mission, and once they overstep, only death awaits them.
This is also the dominance of the Eastern Continent Human Clan's strongest force.
"Flame Pythons are naturally fire-attributed and prefer to inhabit warmer places. What we are looking for this time is Flame Mountain."
"The temperature within Flame Mountain is extremely high. It is said that there is a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire in the center of the mountain, but no one has ever seen it, so its authenticity is unknown."
"But if someone truly obtains that Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire, they might soar to great heights."
Along the way, as they walked, Xuan Hu explained.
Ye Lin's eyes brightened the more he listened. Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire? He had to take a good look at this.
Spiritual Fires can devour each other. For example, if a Profound Rank Middle Grade Spiritual Fire devours a Xuan Grade Low-Rank Spiritual Fire, there is a certain chance it can become a Profound Rank High-Grade Spiritual Fire.
"Senior Brother, you said there's a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire in that mountain. Spiritual Fire is such a precious thing, so has no one gone to get it?"
Hearing this, Xuan Hu froze for a moment, then smiled and began to explain.
"There has always been this rumor, but it's not confirmed."
"Up until now, this rumor has existed for thousands of years, and it continues to circulate. No one knows if it's truly inside."
"In the past, people frequently entered and exited Flame Mountain just to search for that Spiritual Fire, but to this day, no one has been able to find it."
"Over time, it became an indelible rumor. Even though it couldn't be found, everyone would rather believe that there really is a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire inside, and it's a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire of no low grade."
After Xuan Hu finished explaining, Ye Lin nodded.
Sometimes, when a rumor is spread by many people for a long time, it becomes true.
"We've arrived."
Ye Lin and Xuan Hu stood in mid-air with their hands behind their backs, looking at the massive mountain range before them.
The moment he saw Flame Mountain, Ye Lin was completely stunned.
Before him was a colossal mountain range, upon which raging flames burned.
From afar, Flame Mountain looked like a small sun.
It truly lived up to its name, Flame Mountain.
"Hahaha, the first time I saw Flame Mountain with Senior Brother, I was also startled. Such a magnificent sight!"
Looking at the dazed Ye Lin beside him, Xuan Hu laughed heartily.
"Let's go. I've already sensed the Flame Python's aura. That Flame Python hasn't left yet; let's kill it."
After Xuan Hu finished speaking, he gripped a large hammer in his right hand and charged towards Flame Mountain.
Ye Lin, holding Evil Slayer, followed closely behind.
Upon entering Flame Mountain, a wave of heat assailed them, and raging flames burned all around.
If a Mortal were to come here, they would be vaporized before even getting close.
However, both of them were at the Golden Core Stage, so ordinary flames no longer posed any threat; no matter how high the temperature, it was useless.
Flames capable of harming a Golden Core Stage Cultivator must be Heaven and Earth Spiritual Fire.
"Be careful. I've already sensed the Flame Python's aura; it's nearby."
At this moment, Xuan Hu grabbed Ye Lin's arm, his face full of vigilance.
Even among the Yao Race, the Flame Python is considered an upper-middle-tier race, and its combat power is also upper-middle-tier among the tens of thousands of Yao Race species.
Yao Beasts of upper-middle-tier races can simultaneously resist five or six ordinary Human Race Cultivators of the same Realm.
Correspondingly, only a Heavenly Pride of the Human Clan can resist them.
As for those of the top-tier Yao Race, Human Race Cultivators fighting them one-on-one will be defeated unless they possess a special Physique.
"Hiss, humans, scram."
Suddenly, the direction to Ye Lin's right trembled violently, and a massive snake head appeared before Ye Lin's eyes.
Raging flames burned on the enormous snake head, and a pair of red snake eyes stared intently at Ye Lin's eyes.
On the snake's body, fiery red scales were engraved with mysterious runes, looking extremely terrifying.
Boom!
The Flame Python's massive snake head charged directly at Ye Lin without the slightest hesitation.
The ground trembled, and the surrounding fiery red rocks were directly shattered.
"Not good, dodge quickly!"
Seeing this, Xuan Hu's face turned pale with shock.
This Flame Python was the one at the Golden Core Peak; even he couldn't claim 100% certainty.
Now it suddenly ambushed Ye Lin.
If Ye Lin met with misfortune, the Sect would not let him off.
Ye Lin was, after all, an Outer Sect Disciple acknowledged by the Sect.
"Sword Control Skill, Long Rainbow Piercing the Sun!"
Feeling the immense threat emanating from the Flame Python, Ye Lin dared not be careless and immediately activated his Sword Art.
The Evil Slayer in his hand shot out as swiftly as lightning, and he himself rapidly retreated with the momentum.
Clang.
With a crisp sound, Evil Slayer was directly parried by the Flame Python.
Cracks also appeared on the scales on the Flame Python's head.
Directly resisting the impact of a Profound Rank High-Grade weapon, even a Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beast would not dare to be so bold.
A Profound Rank High-Grade weapon can completely break through the defenses of a Nascent Soul Stage Yao Beast, let alone a mere Golden Core Stage one.
"You keep an eye on the other one; this one is mine."
As soon as Ye Lin stabilized his figure, a silhouette instantly darted out beside him.
It was Xuan Hu, holding his giant hammer, engaging in battle with that Flame Python.
One human, one Yao, they fought with great relish.
"Human, die!"
At this moment, an earth-shattering roar came from behind Ye Lin.
Ye Lin pulled out Evil Slayer, which was stuck in the ground, and swung a sword strike behind him.
The Sword Qi directly struck the scales of the Flame Python behind him, creating intense sparks.
"Sword Control Skill, Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"
Ye Lin dodged the Flame Python's tail, taking the opportunity to move above the Flame Python's head. He formed hand seals, and terrifying sword lights struck the Flame Python's body.
In just a few minutes, the once majestic Flame Python was covered in wounds.
Its once seemingly impenetrable scales were now shattered.
Drops of fiery red blood flowed out, looking extremely tragic.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin, die!"
Seeing this, Ye Lin showed no mercy.
Yao Beasts feed on humans, and humans feed on Yao Beasts; there is no right or wrong, only the Heavenly Dao.
The surrounding sword lights began to condense rapidly, finally forming a hundred-meter-long greatsword, and the surrounding flames were dispelled by the Sword Qi.
The Flame Python on the ground was already covered in scars, its eyes fixed on the Sword Qi, struggling to twist its body, trying to dodge.
"Slay!"
Ye Lin lightly shouted, his voice like a Heavenly Dao judgment.
With a single command, the Flame Python's fate was sealed.
The greatsword slashed towards the Flame Python's head.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss, human, die!"
Just then, the Flame Python, which was battling Xuan Hu in the distance, instantly went berserk, its tail directly sending Xuan Hu flying.
It then quickly closed in, directly smashing the greatsword with its head.
Following that, it swung its tail at Ye Lin again.
All of this happened in a flash, taking less than a second.
Looking at the shattered sword light, Ye Lin seemed to have been prepared. He gathered all his spiritual power and punched out.
Boom!
With a violent explosion, Ye Lin was directly smashed into the mountain behind him by the Flame Python's tail.
The entire mountain trembled violently.
"Damn it, I was careless. This Flame Python's combat power is now almost on par with the Nascent Soul Stage. Although it doesn't have the true might of a Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator, it possesses a trace of a Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator's strength."
Xuan Hu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, muttering with some apprehension.
