Fury Towards The Burning Heaven

Chapter 1398: Trapped

There was a reason that Spiraling Clouds Mountainous Region was named that way. There was also a reason why Yellow Sand Prefecture was named that way.

The terrain where Yellow Sand City stood was unique. There were deserts everywhere. In some areas—even if one took Divine Boats for millions of kilometers, they would only see deserts and yellow sand in the air. The climate was extremely horrible. Yellow Sand City was located in Blue Eagle Prefecture, but because it was close to Yellow Sand Prefecture, it was named Yellow Sand City. If one walked out of this city, they would find themselves in Yellow Sand Prefecture.

Spiraling Clouds Mountainous Region was even more special than that.

From time to time, typhoons would occur here. If one looked from afar, it would look like the clouds were spiraling around the mountains. That was why the area was deemed as the Spiraling Clouds Mountainous Region.

The typhoons here were different from the ones elsewhere; they were especially terrifying here. Even Divine Boats could be shredded to pieces if they were caught in those typhoons. Ordinary Demon-Killing Battle Gods could be killed by those typhoons. One could only imagine how terrifying those winds were.

“Why are the typhoons so scary? Is there a particularly strong wind-elemental nomological mystical ability hidden inside?”

Jiang Yi looked out at the sky filled with yellow sand from the Divine Boat. As he admired the darkening sky, many questions floated around in his head. These typhoons could kill even Demon-Killing Battle Gods. If Xiao Leng had not been the one to tell him this, Jiang Yi would have given the messenger one tight slap and asked him not to make stories up!

“No!”

Xiao Leng shook his head and explained, “It is because of frightening Chaos Beasts. These Chaos Beasts are a type of worm called the yellow sand worm. They are small in size and look no different from the sand. There are countless yellow sand worms, and they are very frightening. The moment you get sucked into the typhoon, you would be attacked by hundreds, thousands, millions of yellow sand worms. Inside those typhoons, formidable martial artists’ heavenly powers would be messed up. Their battle powers would also deteriorate. That would make them susceptible to being attacked by yellow sand worms.”

“So that’s how it is!”

A huge realization dawned on Jiang Yi. The other four commanders had heard of this before so they were not surprised at hearing this explanation. Jiang Yi asked, “Then wouldn’t it be extra dangerous under Spiraling Clouds Mountainous Region?”

“That’s right!” Xiao Leng nodded. “Countless yellow sand worms live below Spiraling Clouds Mountainous Region. Whoever dares to burrow more than thirty kilometers underground would face the attack of countless yellow sand worms. What’s more, from time to time, there would be sandstorms occurring at Spiraling Clouds Mountainous Region. Although they are not as terrifying as the typhoons, their attack radius is exceptionally wide. This makes them quite dangerous as well.”

Jiang Yi nodded. His head was beginning to hurt. He only had one ball of Merged Flames left. If the Nine Nether Cold Flames did not get swallowed by the little beast, he would have just one more type of mystical ability that could save his life.

He subconsciously retrieved the Fire Spirit Pearl and studied the little beast. However, it was a pity that the little beast was in a deep sleep. Jiang Yi did not have much of the extremely cold flames left; the beast had absorbed most of it already.

The Divine Boat continued to advance forward. A while later, huge mountains began to appear in front of them. However, all of these mountains were bare; no plants or flowers were growing on it. They were no different from deserts.

Once they entered the mountainous region, Xiao Leng shouted, “Get off the Divine Board! Stick to the mountains as you fly!” Follow current s on novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net

The four commanders shot out of the Divine Boat without any hesitation. Jiang Yi had no choice but to follow them off the Divine Boat. Xiao Leng kept the Divine Boat and then turned to Jiang Yi to explain. “We cannot remain in the sky in Spiraling Clouds Mountainous Region. It’ll be easy for us to be sucked into the typhoons if we do. We must stick close to the mountains!”

“What kind of reason is that?” Jiang Yi was confused now. How was flying in the air related to the typhoons? Xiao Leng did not bother explaining. Instead, he said, “You’ll understand once we get there.”

The group stuck to the mountains as they flew. They traveled a few kilometers before the wind started to pick up. The yellow sand engulfed all six of them, causing their visibility to deteriorate significantly. The good thing was that with Xiao Leng around, Jiang Yi did not need to survey the surroundings at all. Xiao Leng’s divine senses were exceedingly good. He could easily survey the surroundings within a ten-thousand-kilometer radius.

They kept advancing by flight for half a day. Jiang Yi realized that they had not met a single person. Feeling frustrated, he said, “Old Xiao, how big is this Spiraling Clouds Mountainous Region exactly?”

“Very big,” Xiao Leng took a sideway glance at him and said. “If it isn’t big, how could the Poison Spirit remain hidden here for so long? One’s divine senses would even be affected here. There are many god bandits here as well. Since the terrain here is strange, the three kingdoms do not bother about this area. However, now that so many Demon-Killing Battle Gods are here, the god bandits might have moved somewhere else.”

Jiang Yi nodded and continued flying. He did not fly very fast, but Xiao Leng was not too concerned. It was far safer to fly slowly here. They were here to look for someone, not to get through the Spiraling Clouds Mountainous Region in record time.

“Stop!”

After flying for two more hours, Xiao Leng suddenly shouted in a cold tone. He was frowning. He looked around for a second, then shouted, “Fly towards the left, now!”

The four commanders stiffened at once. They quickly led Jiang Yi towards the left as fast as they could. Xiao Leng trailed behind them, but his gaze was fixed on another direction. However, after flying for another five minutes, he shouted once again. “Alright, stop! There are people coming on both sides. It’s obvious that they’re after us. There are too many of them; we can’t run anymore. If we start fighting later on, the four of you, protect Jiang Yi. Don’t bother about anything else!”

Jiang Yi and the four commanders’ expressions darkened. Why did they have to meet so many people shortly after entering the region? Was this so serious that they would even have to fight them? Xiao Leng’s speed was so fast; why didn’t he want to take Jiang Yi away?

Soon enough, Jiang Yi understood the reason. He heard the sound of people cutting through the air in front of him. Right in front of the groups were two Demon-Killing Battle-God-ranked formidable martial artists. They were traveling too fast. Countless divine senses locked in on Jiang Yi.

Swish! Swish!

More and more people were charging towards them. The four Earth Emanations Army’s commanders’ expressions turned cold. For every Demon-Killing Battle-God-ranked person, there were thirty God Kings. If they really fought, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Xiao Leng stood in front of the group, and the four commanders surrounded Jiang Yi. They whipped out their weapons and readied their heavenly powers. The battle would begin at any time. Xiao Leng scanned the enemies, and his expression turned somber. He sent a voice transmission to Jiang Yi: “I think they are god bandits. They are not people from any of the three powers.”

A group of formidable martial artists charged towards them. The Battle-God-ranked formidable martial artist right in front stopped once he arrived three kilometers from Jiang Yi. He glared at the group ferociously. Xiao Leng’s black battle armor wrapped around his body as the other four commanders readied their black battle armors as well. Xiao Leng shouted in a low voice, “We are the Earth Emanations Army on a mission. All of you, get back!”

Strictly speaking, Xiao Leng was not from Earth Emanations Army. He was only from the Xiao Clan. However, it was too easy for him to create an Earth Emanations Army uniform. This was also one of the reasons why he felt secure enough to come to this place. The Earth Emanations Army was revered inside the Earth Emanations Domain.

“The Earth Emanations Army?”

The formidable martial artist right in front exchanged a meaningful look with a few other people. His gaze turned hard. If these were people from Battle God Pavilion, Earth Emanations Pavilion, or Demon-Killing Pavilion; they would just kill them. However, if these people were really from Earth Emanations Army and word got out about their murder, they would become fugitives; they would be fugitives of the entire continent, at that.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Hundreds of people charged towards them from the other direction as well. There was another Battle-God-ranked formidable martial artist there. This god bandit group was quite huge. They had two Demon-Killing Battle Gods and fifty to sixty God Kings. That was enough people to wipe out one small city and one small tribe. Of course, no god bandit group was so crazy in the Earth Emanations Domain. If they dared to destroy cities, they would be hunted down for sure.

“Do it!”

The latter Battle-God-ranked formidable martial artist used his divine senses to scan the group. Once he was sure that there were only Jiang Yi and the other five of them, he gave the order for his group to attack. The Earth Emanations Army may be highly revered in Earth Emanations Domain. However... if Jiang Yi’s entire group perished, who would find out that they were responsible?
