Chapter 2352: Chapter 2349: Fire Well

Hu Gao!

This guy is a pitfall and also not very dedicated to cultivation; he’s a bit lazy and afraid of hardship!

When Ye Tianchen brought Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl to Flame Valley, he was seeking a way to eliminate the power of evil within him, but he also wanted these three pitfalls to enter Flame Valley together for forging and training!

The Martial Arts World is in chaos, the laws of the entire world have drastically changed, and outsiders with powerful inheritances and creatures have already entered Earth, which is now in complete disarray, suffering and bloodshed. In such an era, in such a situation, to survive and protect one’s loved ones, there’s only one way: strength!

Only with sufficiently powerful strength can one protect oneself and everything they wish to protect; otherwise, one will constantly be passive and could be killed at any moment!

Hu Gao is also very aware of the current changes in the Martial Arts World; if he continues to sink in laziness, he will definitely lose his life. The most important thing is that Desolate Stone Village was attacked by the Blood Killing Organization back then. Although Hu Gao and Tian Boguang fought bravely, the situation in Desolate Stone Village was extremely critical. It’s incredibly difficult to ensure the survival of hundreds of ordinary villagers!

When it was necessary to escort these ordinary villagers away, Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang’er, Zhang Ruotong, and Liu Rumei made an admirable decision to cover the rear and hold back the old King of Killers from the Blood Killing Organization, allowing Hu Gao and Tian Boguang to lead the villagers of Desolate Stone Village to escape first!

This was a decision of righteousness and respect; one could imagine that in such a slaughter situation, anyone making a rear-guard decision was practically choosing death, because the Blood Killing Organization dispatched many experts, and most importantly, even the despicable old King of Killers stepped in. This old guy was a late-stage peak Martial Saint powerhouse with rich experience in slaughter and numerous killing techniques, making it hard for others in the same Cultivation Realm to match him!

Later, Dongfang Meng, Tianshuang’er, Liu Rumei, and Zhang Ruotong all died, while Hu Gao and Tian Boguang, leading the villagers of Desolate Stone Village, managed to escape. However, this left a knot in the hearts of Hu Gao and Tian Boguang, leading to extreme regret; the two grown men couldn’t compare to these four women in terms of responsibility, feeling somewhat ashamed and guilty!

Encouraged by Ye Tianchen, ridiculed by Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, Hu Gao forced himself and entered the second layer of the Fire Domain in Flame Valley. He himself couldn’t believe he could reach the second layer of the Fire Domain, knowing that over the years, Hu Gao had always neglected cultivation as a lazy person, and the flame power in Flame Valley had significantly increased. Even Ye Tianchen, upon reaching the second layer of the Fire Domain, felt a bit of heat despite his strong physique. Hu Gao’s ability to break through such a level was due to his talent and persistence, made possible only by both qualities!

"Hu Gao, just stay here in the second layer of the Fire Domain in Flame Valley; there’s much for you to comprehend here. I’m going ahead to take a look," Ye Tianchen said as he watched Hu Gao, sitting cross-legged and already entirely naked.

"Yes, Hu Gao, just stay here; reaching here is already quite an achievement. Comprehend well and wait for us to come out!" Little Zhu Yan said smugly.

"Comprehend well; we’re going to explore deeper places!" the God Beating Bowl agreed emphatically.

Hu Gao cast a glance at Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, wishing he could beat the two pitfalls to a pulp; they were truly unbearable. Since arriving in Flame Valley, these two pitfalls had been taunting and mocking him, making him feel angry. But despite his anger, Hu Gao dared not act rashly. Firstly, the combat power of these two pitfalls was indeed stronger than his, and secondly, Hu Gao’s ability to enter the second layer of the Fire Domain in Flame Valley and remain still was an act of willpower, activating all his bodily strength. If he recklessly moved around, he might end up disintegrated!

"You two brag, you two are powerful, but let’s see how far you go; entering the third layer of the Fire Domain in Flame Valley, right?" Hu Gao said disgruntledly.

"There’s no boasting here; no matter what, we’ll go farther than you! After all, I’m the descendant, the sole bloodline inheritor of the Ancient War Emperor, you know?" Little Zhu Yan said proudly with a smile.

"Indeed, I’m a God Beating Stone; do you think I wouldn’t outdistance you?" the God Beating Bowl mocked Hu Gao.

Hu Gao glared at Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, but before he could speak and retaliate, he saw the two pitfalls heading forward because Ye Tianchen was tired of hearing the three pitfalls glaring at each other and directly went ahead. Ye Tianchen was familiar with the second layer of the Fire Domain in Flame Valley; as he walked forward, he looked around somewhat doubtfully. Why wasn’t that guy here?

Given that guy’s strength and fearfulness, it should have sensed their arrival at the Flame Valley’s periphery, yet why hadn’t it appeared now? Could it have already left here?

Honestly, the old friend and partner Ye Tianchen remembered living inside Flame Valley for a long time, likely residing in Flame Valley since birth—something normal people couldn’t manage. But back then, this little guy was only wandering within the second layer of the Fire Domain; had it now entered the third and fourth layers, or had something happened, leading it to leave? Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but feel a bit worried, as this little guy was also his good friend!

Ye Tianchen walked to the center of the second layer of the Fire Domain, eyeing a well in front without stepping closer, just standing there as if reminiscing about his cultivation days in Flame Valley. So many years had passed since then, with unexpected changes occurring in Flame Valley and significant changes in himself; the little guy’s growth remained uncertain, whether it ventured into Flame Valley’s deepest part or had already left.

"Why don’t you go forward? Though the power of the Fire Taoist is intensifying, it’s still bearable!" Little Zhu Yan said confidently.

"Indeed, given our strength, entering the third layer of Flame Valley poses no problems; ideally, we might even venture into the fourth layer. Flame Valley isn’t a simple place and deserves thorough exploration!" The God Beating Bowl agreed, nodding.

Ye Tianchen glanced at Little Zhu Yan, then at the God Beating Bowl, smiling at the pair of pitfalls, "To enter the third layer of the Fire Domain in Flame Valley, you must traverse the fire well ahead. This fire well isn’t ordinary; a breathtaking flame might burst forth, making a reckless approach might be quite dangerous!"

"Really? Just a fire well? Trying to scare me, Little Zhu Yan? Hah!" Little Zhu Yan disdainfully said, heading towards the fire well!

"Exactly, I’m a God Beating Stone capable of defeating Immortals, beating them to a pulp; do you think a mere flame could pose a threat?" The God Beating Bowl retorted annoyingly.

Ye Tianchen remained silent, watching Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, these two pretentious pitfalls, step towards the fire well. Ye Tianchen recalled that during his cultivation beside the well, the little guy would consume the roaring flames erupting from the well; the power was indeed intimidating!

Boom!

As Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl approached the fire well, feeling confident about approaching it, a burst of flame surged skyward from the well, enveloping Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl from above and crashing down towards them!

"Darn it, what the hell is this fiery glow?" Little Zhu Yan exclaimed in astonishment, watching the flame overhead.

"Pah! Quick, you pitfall, get out of there; you’ll be scorched to ashes if hit!" the God Beating Bowl promptly shouted, swiftly retreating!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, due to their approach to the second layer of the Fire Domain in Flame Valley, triggered the fire well at the center to erupt an intense flame. The powerful flames exceeded their expectations, so when they saw the flames rushing towards them, they instinctively felt danger and quickly retreated towards Ye Tianchen!

Flash!

Unexpectedly, when Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl reached Ye Tianchen’s side, the huge fire cloud followed them, as if possessed with an autonomous consciousness, intent on pursuing these two pitfalls!

"Darn, what the hell is this; chasing us down?" Little Zhu Yan couldn’t help cursing while running.
