Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 1381 - 1382: Scarlet Flame Ridge

The Ancient Emperor of Tongmen and the Ancient Emperor Yianlei have yet to abandon the thought of hunting down Chu Fengmian.

The ancient bronze door suddenly opened, and two figures stepped out from within.

"Thanks to Brother Yianlei, we have finally found this little beast. Once we kill him, I don’t want that roll of brocade; I only want this little beast’s fortune!"

The Ancient Emperor of Tongmen chuckled coldly and suddenly frowned.

"But what about the Holy Dragon Sect?"

"No problem, this little beast disregards elders. I’ll kill him to clean up the sect, and as for that roll of brocade, it’s destined to belong to our secret realm of the Holy Dragon anyway."

A hint of cold laughter flashed in Yianlei’s eyes as he suddenly sensed the surrounding aura, pointing in a direction and said.

"Over there."

Their gazes instantly turned toward the direction where Chu Fengmian was.

"The little beast’s tunneling light has indeed slowed down."

"Perfect, we will catch up and kill him!"

Their eyes were filled with greed as they urged their tunneling light, rushing towards Chu Fengmian for the kill.

"Damn it! They’ve actually caught up? This identity plate really is trouble!"

Chu Fengmian sensed someone pursuing him, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.

He should have escaped without anyone being able to detect his destination using the transformation of the Heavenly Dragon, yet they caught up! Clearly, it was the Ancient Emperor Yianlei, who used the identity plate of the Holy Dragon Secret Realm to locate Chu Fengmian.

"Something’s not right? Why are there only two people?"

Just as Chu Fengmian was about to flee, he suddenly realized that those pursuing him emitted only two aura.

Seeing this result, a hint of killing intent flashed in Chu Fengmian’s eyes.

Facing ten Ancient Emperors alone is clearly impossible, but with only two, Chu Fengmian’s strength might be capable of dealing with them.

However, the Ancient Emperor Yianlei and the Ancient Emperor of Tongmen aren’t easy opponents, much stronger than the two elders from the Hall of Dayfire.

Flying along, Chu Fengmian pondered strategies, when suddenly he encountered a vast fire domain not too far ahead.

A region enveloped in flames, with countless Heavenly Fires burning within.

Such perilous lands are not uncommon on the Immortal Burial Continent; treasures may lie within, but even Ancient Emperors are wary of the Heavenly Fires, rarely daring to tread there.

"A perilous land indeed, what a place!"

Upon witnessing this perilous land, Chu Fengmian’s eyes lit up, as he headed straight for it.

As he approached, a sky full of Heavenly Fires surged towards Chu Fengmian.

The Heavenly Fires seemed intent on burning every approaching Martial Artist and demon god to ashes.

But Chu Fengmian was unafraid; with a mental command, a layer of mysterious ice formed around him, rendering the flames’ heat ineffective as he slipped into the depths of the perilous land.

"Has the boy gone mad?"

Not far behind, two tunneling lights chased after Chu Fengmian, when suddenly Yianlei frowned and said.

"What’s happening?"

The Ancient Emperor of Tongmen asked unexpectedly upon hearing this.

"What’s going on?"

"The boy, he ventured into a perilous land. Ahead should be the Crimson Fire Ridge; the boy went into the Crimson Fire Ridge!"

Yianlei stated coldly.

Among countless perilous lands on the Immortal Burial Continent, the Crimson Fire Ridge is quite treacherous, and if Ancient Emperors encounter mishaps inside, they may fall within.

Records show that three Ancient Emperors have perished within the Crimson Fire Ridge.

"Entered Crimson Fire Ridge?"

Upon hearing Yianlei, a hint of fear flashed in the Ancient Emperor of Tongmen’s eyes.

Evidently, he too knew of the Crimson Fire Ridge’s terror.

However, this fear quickly subsided, as he contemplated the countless fortunes on Chu Fengmian, and decided.

"What should we fear? The little beast entered it, and he’ll definitely hesitate to go deeper. Most likely, he intends to use it to shake us off! If we don’t pursue, we’ll fall for his tricks!"

"I have the bronze portal; even if we venture deep within and encounter danger, we two can leave easily."

The Ancient Emperor of Tongmen stated confidently, claiming his bronze door could traverse spaces, facilitating their escape in case of emergency.

"Chase!"

Encouraged by these words, Yianlei hesitated no more, as their tunneling lights also pursued into the Crimson Fire Ridge, simultaneously channeling Spiritual Power to form a barrier resisting the surrounding Heavenly Fires.

"They’ve truly come after me!"

Chu Fengmian’s Spiritual Sense locked onto the two pursuing Ancient Emperors, noticing their entrance into the Crimson Fire Ridge with a cold smile.

If they had retreated, that would have posed a problem; now that they’ve come, it’s perfect.

He traversed through the Crimson Fire Ridge, flying toward its center.

The closer to the center of Crimson Fire Ridge, the hotter the Heavenly Fire became. Here, even Ancient Emperors would struggle against the scorching flames, requiring immense effort.

However, Chu Fengmian, relying on his Divine Body of Ice and Fire, naturally resisted the flames and additionally had protection from mysterious ice.

Within the Crimson Fire Ridge, Chu Fengmian seemed unhindered; all the Heavenly Fires couldn’t harm him, instead bolstering the power of his Divine Body of Ice and Fire.

"So many mystical medicines!"

Noticing all around the ground beneath the Crimson Fire Ridge, various spiritual medicines flourished; all were fire-element mystical medicines, rarely seen outside.

Here, they grew in abundance, with formidable ages that would drive any Fire Element Emperor to madness.

These fire-element mystical medicines, when sold, could fetch enormous wealth.

But Chu Fengmian’s eyes merely glanced over; his current aim was dealing with the two Ancient Emperors, not distracted by these.

"Let them chase; the deeper they go, the closer they are to their demise."

Chu Fengmian sneered sinisterly.

He deliberately slowed his tunneling light, feigning difficulty, while closely monitoring their movements; his Spiritual Sense clearly observed the chasing Ancient Emperors.

Lacking Chu Fengmian’s Divine Body of Ice and Fire, within Crimson Fire Ridge, they could only endure Heavenly Fires’ blazing with Spiritual Power, consuming vast amounts of it.

Even Ancient Emperors, with their ample Spiritual Power, may not withstand such consumption.
