Chapter 432

Su Liushang then used the "Heavenly Gang Big Dipper Formation" to contend with numerous enemies, freezing the surrounding area.

The Ice Crystal Long Whip in her hand manifested countless clones out of thin air, moving freely on the battlefield.

Gu Qingwan followed closely behind, she activated the Phoenix Fire Lotus Basin, and her magical power burst forth with an overwhelming momentum.

She wore a faint smile, mercilessly striking the Phoenix Fire sharply at the enemy's password opening.

Gu Qingwan's strategy caused a huge change in the entire battle situation.

"Cough cough! You damned bastards!"

Hong Lietian roared in shock and anger, continually retreating.

Lu Yuan, Su Liushang, and Gu Qingwan cooperated seamlessly, fighting side by side, displaying strength and combat skills beyond the enemies' expectations.

The cultivators of the Youhun Sect were defeated one by one, forced back by the ever-stronger Lu Yuan and his companions.

Finally, after a prolonged battle, the Youhun Sect cultivators were defeated, and Hong Lietian could only watch helplessly as they withdrew from his territory.

"Next time we meet, you'll die an even uglier death!" Hong Lietian shouted angrily.

"We'll be waiting for you!"

Lu Yuan gave a cold smile, "The Youhun Sect is not worth mentioning."

Gu Qingwan gazed into the distance at Hong Lietian, a hint of gloom flashing in her eyes, "The power they pursue will one day bring about their destruction."

"We must stop them." Lu Yuan led Su Liyan, Gu Qingwan, and King Qi to a small grove in a valley.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves onto the ground, giving a sense of tranquility and mystery.

"It is said that deep within the Heavenly Gang Forbidden Ground lies a legendary elixir called the Zhenyuan Divine Pill."

"According to rumors, taking this pill can greatly increase cultivation speed; it will definitely be helpful for us."

Lu Yuan excitedly introduced to his teammates the rumors he had heard about the Heavenly Gang Forbidden Ground.

Su Liyan's eyes flashed with anticipation: "If we can truly find the Zhenyuan Divine Pill, our cultivation progress will be twice as effective with half the effort."

Gu Qingwan nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it's a rare opportunity; we shouldn't miss it."

King Qi showed a determined expression: "Since it involves enhancing strength, any risk is trivial compared to advancing in power."

"But the Heavenly Gang Forbidden Ground is not easy to enter."

Lu Yuan warned, "That place is fraught with danger and filled with various trials and ambushes."

"We must act cautiously, while also making full use of our strength and wisdom."

Everyone nodded in unison, showing agreement with Lu Yuan's reminder.

"How should we enter the depths of the Heavenly Gang Forbidden Ground?" Gu Qingwan posed the question.

Su Liyan pondered for a moment and said: "According to rumors, the entrance to the Heavenly Gang Forbidden Ground is at the valley's end, and one must find a specific rune to open it."

"Moreover, the rumors mention that ferocious beasts and evil spirits guard the valley."

"There's nothing to worry about, I'm here."

"I can use the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel to dispel those evil forces," King Qi said confidently. Leaving the valley, Lu Yuan's group arrived at a Flaming Mountain.

Upon seeing this majestic volcano before them, they couldn't help but feel awe.

The air above Flaming Mountain was thick with fiery elemental essence, and roaring flames leapt on the summit, emitting a heart-pounding roar.

Lu Yuan sensed this aura, and his eyes involuntarily showed anticipation and longing.

"Here lies the Blazing Mystic Chamber, where a great amount of fire elemental essence has condensed."

Su Liyan stood beside the group, pointing forward and said: "By cultivating and absorbing this essence, one can achieve the effect of breaking through one's cultivation."

King Qi excitedly gripped his Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel: "If so, let's hurry inside!"

Gu Qingwan, however, furrowed her brow: "There are surely hidden dangers inside Flaming Mountain; we need to respond carefully."

Lu Yuan gave a slight nod, knowing well that Flaming Mountain often harbors vicious beasts and strange arts, and it's not so easy to break through.

But at the same time, he was full of confidence and resolve.

"Don't worry, I've made preparations."

Lu Yuan took out a rune from his storage bag, its surface etched with exquisite and intricate patterns.

"This is precisely the fire-elemental rune I collected earlier in the Heavenly Gang Forbidden Ground."

He raised his hand and tossed the rune into Flaming Mountain; in an instant, the mountain gate slowly opened.

A jet of steam shot up into the sky, accompanied by blazing fury.

"Let's go!" Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his whole body filled with determination and courage, and he stepped through the gate first.

King Qi and Su Liyan closely followed, entering the Blazing Mystic Chamber.

Gu Qingwan silently watched their three backs, praying for their safety.

The interior of the Blazing Mystic Chamber was unusually bright.

The surrounding walls were covered with patterns and formations related to the fire element.

A wave of scorching heat hit, making it somewhat hard to breathe.

Lu Yuan employed the Five Elements Escape Technique, his figure agilely weaving through the flames.

Each contact made him feel power coursing through his body, his muscles seeming to become more resilient.

Su Liyan continually waved her Ice Crystal Long Whip, instantly freezing the surrounding flames.

She drew upon the power of the cold jade ice shard, fully unleashing her strength.

King Qi tightly gripped his Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel, facing the oncoming strange creatures and formations, he swung the Demon-Breaking Golden Wheel with the aim of destroying all evil.

Inside Flaming Mountain, Lu Yuan felt inner joy and satisfaction.

He understood that this cultivation was extremely important for them.

Only by persisting in cultivation can one better serve all beings under heaven and fulfill one's utmost potential.

Time flowed slowly within Flaming Mountain.

Lu Yuan, Su Liyan, and King Qi constantly trained, and from it they gained a huge breakthrough.

Finally, in the depths of Flame Mountain, Lu Yuan finally broke through to the Swallow Heaven Realm.

He felt the power surging within his body, immensely strong, as if it could tear heaven and earth.

Hahaha!

Lu Yuan laughed loudly toward the sky, his voice shaking the entire Flame Mountain, 'I have finally reached the Swallow Heaven Realm!' In the depths of the Flame Profound Chamber, Lu Yuan felt the boundless power coming from the fire, and within his body there seemed to be a desire to merge this power completely into himself.

He closed his eyes slightly and began to listen to his inner voice.

Just then, a cold laugh suddenly echoed through the depths of Flame Mountain: 'Lu Yuan, you wretched worms dare to intrude on my territory!'

Lu Yuan opened his eyes and saw a group of people dressed in golden splendid attire, their bodies radiating golden light, appearing in the depths of Flame Mountain.

They held slender swords in their hands, their expressions arrogant and insolent.

Golden Rainbow Sect!

Su Liyan shouted sternly, 'What do you want? We are cultivating here and have not interfered with you.'

A middle-aged man stepped out of the crowd, wearing a splendid battle robe and holding a longsword that flashed with golden light.

He sneered at Su Liyan, 'Cultivation? How ridiculous!'

Do you think this place is a fairyland?

This is the territory under the control of my Golden Rainbow Sect! (End of chapter)
