As the Immortal Phoenix broke through the top of the Mystic Realm, Ye Chen finally understood some of the situation in this Mystic Realm. It was obvious that the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm was deep in a volcano and surrounded by lava.
“These Ice Fire Beetles are too ruthless to themselves. A water-type mutated beast actually died in the volcano.” Ye Chen sighed. “It hid so well. The people who discovered this Mystic Realm in the past really went all out.”
The Immortal Phoenix also noticed Ye Chen and its companions. It flapped its flaming wings and flew over.
At the top of the Mystic Realm, more lava was flowing out of the hole that the Immortal Phoenix had pierced through. However, it didn’t spread quickly. That was because the moment the lava flowed in, the cold aura in the Mystic Realm suddenly erupted, causing the lava to cool down, The golden-red lava
quickly turned black and solidified on the ground.
“Master, you really came to find me. I knew I heard everyone’s voices just now!” The Immortal Phoenix was very happy.
“Big Sister, it’s really you!” Little Purple removed part of the Ice Fire Armor and let the Immortal Phoenix come in front of Ye Chen.
Finally reuniting with the Immortal Phoenix, the few Divine Beasts were very excited.
“You were sucked away. Of course we have to come and find you.” Ye Chen smiled and then asked, “Sun God Envoy, why were you sucked in here? What happened in this Mystic Realm?”
“I don’t know why I was sucked in here either, but I can feel the aura of a fire-type mutated beast.”
The Immortal Phoenix replied seriously.
“This Mystic Realm is really cold. It seems like it wants to freeze me. Therefore, I wanted to melt a hole on the top and go out. In the end, I realized that there was lava on it. When the lava flows down, it turns into black stones like these in the Mystic Realm and block the hole.
“This is the Mystic Realm of the Ice Fire Beetles. In order to increase their defense power, these mutated beasts cultivate in the volcano. That’s why the Mystic Realm is so cold.” Ye Chen explained. Then, he asked, “Then, how did you obtain the new Mystic Ability?”
He was very curious about the new Art of Zhurong among the Innate Mystic Abilities of the Immortal Phoenix.
Since the top level was filled with lava, it meant that the first and second levels of the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm had already been invaded by the volcano. Even if there were other treasures inside that hadn’t been taken away, they should have been burnt.
“When I wanted to go out, I flew up and realized that the surface was blocked by rocks. However, after I used my strength, a stream of energy emerged from the lava and merged with my body, allowing me to control the lava to awaken the volcano!”
‘The Immortal Phoenix said in excitement. To prove its words, it turned to the lava that had yet to completely solidify and let out along cry.
The lava that was about to turn into black stones suddenly boiled again, turning golden red. Then, it rose from the ground and gathered into a ball. It quickly struck a black stone pillar and melted it.
“After obtaining that energy, I seemed to have become much stronger. I could break through the entire mountain at once.” The Immortal Phoenix was very proud of its strength. “After I went out, I felt some movement in the mountains. When I came in again, I found all of you!”
“Big Sister, you’re too lucky!” After hearing about the Immortal Phoenix’s experience, the Kun Peng enviously said, “Where is this volcano? Are there any other treasures?”
“How would I know where this is? But I know that there’s a sea not far from here.” The Immortal Phoenix shook its head. “If Master wants to see it, I’ll bring everyone out to take a look!”
“Wait, Sun God Envoy, tell me first. Does anyone live near this volcano?” Ye Chen thought for a moment and asked.
“There are flames everywhere near the volcano. There’s definitely no one there.” The Immortal Phoenix answered affirmatively.
“There are flames everywhere. Could this be the Demon Flame Mountain?” Ye Chen searched his mind for knowledge about the various parts of the Wilderness World and remembered a corresponding place.
He had read in the books he bought in Fan City that the Demon Flame Mountain was at the edge of the East Continent. West of it was a vast sea.
This was a mountain range that was difficult to approach. Its characteristic was that there was fire that couldn’t be extinguished everywhere. When exploring this area, people used Spirit Stone slabs to pave the way. However, they didn’t last for long. Many Spirit Stone slabs had been burned, so the mountain
range was called the Demon Flame Mountain.
Ye Chen thought that the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm was very likely inside the Demon Flame Mountain.
“Alright, since the Sun God Envoy’s power is temporarily unable to open the fourth level of the Mystic Realm, we might as well go outside and take a look.” Ye Chen approved of the Immortal Phoenix’s suggestion and then tured to Little Purple.
“Use the Ice Fire Armor and exert your power to strengthen it.”
Little Purple understood. After the Immortal Phoenix retreated a few meters, the other Divine Beasts directly transformed into their disguised forms. Little Purple also shrunk its body to the size that could be carried by the Immortal Phoenix. The coverage area of the Ice Fire Armor decreased and its
thickness increased greatly.
The Immortal Phoenix went forward and steadily grabbed the Ice Fire Armor that was protecting everyone as it flew to the cave entrance.
‘Shriek!”There was another long cry.
Ye Chen looked up. Through the Ice Fire Armor, he saw that the hole above suddenly melted. Golden-red lava surged and there was suddenly a dent. Then, the dent continued to extend, opening a tunnel in the boiling lava that kept moving upwards!
Soon, a light blue light dot appeared in the tunnel.
At this moment, the Immortal Phoenix flew up with them!
Although not a single drop of lava landed on the Ice Fire Armor under the control of the Immortal Phoenix, some of the scorching heat still seeped into the armor.
‘Js it difficult for you?” Ye Chen looked at Little Purple and asked.
Little Purple was trying its best to release its power to stabilize the Ice Fire Armor. Without its protection, it would be fine for Ye Chen and the Kun Peng, who had both Yin and Yang powers, but Monkey and the Godly Sea Steadying Needle would definitely not be able to withstand it.
“No, Big Sister’s ability to control the lava helps a lot. If I have to pass through the lava, I might not be able to do it.’ It replied softly.
As soon as it finished speaking, everything lit up in front of Ye Chen’s eyes. It was clearly not the light of lava.
The Immortal Phoenix rushed out of the volcano and the scenery outside appeared in front of Ye Chen.
At the same time, a system notification appeared.
[Remind: Fire Kite Mountain has been awakened by the Immortal Phoenix. You can open the Mystic Realm.]
“Is Fire Kite Mountain the name of this volcano?” Ye Chen looked at the volcano with thick smoke and surging lava under his feet. “There’s another Mystic Realm here?”
Another notification popped up.
[Hidden prompt message: Fire Kite Mountain is the Demon Flame Mountain’s main peak. It’s the Zhurong Mystic Realm and contains the Ice Fire Beetle Mystic Realm..]
