Chapter 264 - Breaking the shelter

Scorching flames, one by one, flew out from Shi Yan’s hands, all rolling in the cave in front of him.

After pulling one another about, the shelter at the cave entrance, which had been blazingly burned by Heaven flame, finally seemed not to be able to resist any longer, exposing a small burnt hole.

Everybody’s faces were excited.

Shi Yan’s eyes also brightened up as if he could see a ray of glory through that small hole. He put all his efforts to continuously pour the Heaven Flame’s blistering power into that hole.

After all the flames of the Heaven Flame entered that hole, they eroded the cave entrance little by little, quickly enlarged the hole. Di Shan, Yu Rou and other leaders of two pagan tribes showed an extreme joy.

It was obvious that with that burning speed, the cave would be soon broken; the hole would be broadened enough for everyone to get in.

Lightning flashed up in Di Shan’s eyes. He contemplated for a while before quietly coming closer to Shi Yan.

Duo Long and his fellows also followed behind without much hesitation. They all gathered thirty meters away from Shi Yan and kept staring at every single move from him.

If they didn’t enter the Sound Beast Mountain, they would not have been struck by the lightning from the sky above the peak.

The miraculous shelter in the sky seemed to have its own consciousness. It had a duty to make sure that no top-class warriors of the two tribes were able to have penetrated into the Sound Beast Mountain. As soon as they moved one step in, this shelter would have been instantly activated, striking down tremendous lightning.

“Let’s wait for a while. Once the cave entrance is enlarged enough, we will enter right away.” Di Shan turned around, glancing at the other five leaders, then said with a serious face, “Everyone should watch out. There is certainly an anomalous change in there. It may be a fatal danger, you should not be contemptuous.”

Five of them nodded, implicating they’d already understood.

Those six peak leaders of two tribes were glaring at every move of Shi Yan with stony eyes from a distance of thirty meters away. They were ready to enter at any time.

Sweat beaded on Shi Yan’s forehead; the fabric on his back was also wet. This was the result of consuming too much power.

His body had been trained by the Heaven Flame for a long time as his vessels and blood were adapting more with the Heaven Flame’s heat. However, burning fires spreading out from the Blood Vein Ring this time were much hotter than any previous times. The extreme heat of the Earth Flame had successfully transformed, being several times stronger than before. Until now, Shi Yan got to know that the Earth Flame previously had not been considered as the Heaven Flame. At best, it had been only considered to be mutated Earth Flame that hadn’t reached the Heaven Flame’s temperature just yet.

Nevertheless, the current Earth flame had a huge transformation after having absorbed the Sun Refined Spirits. Not only did it have a complete soul and a perfect living form, but its burning fire power had also been enhanced to another new level.

The ten thousand years Earth Flame somehow had transformed to make a balance with the Icy Cold Flame, which owned a miraculous earth-shaking power.

As the Earth Flame had been enhanced, its burning power was also much stronger than before. Shi Yan almost could not stand it. When he poured profound Qi into each flame, a lot of his power had been drained, including his soul consciousness.

The Heaven Flame evaporated his sweat quickly as soon as it continued pouring out again.

Even though Shi Yan’s whole body was not comfortable, he still tried to restrain it, focused his mind, and kept releasing his soul consciousness. He let his profound Qi massively roll into his palms to fuse with flames of the Heaven Flame to create Heaven Flame’s power with a tremendous attack strength.

“Sizzling”

The Heaven Flame was burning furiously making the hole in front of him bigger. Gradually, it was getting as big as a human’s head.

Shi Yan’s face was joyful but he did not dare to relax now. He kept urging the profound Qi inside of his body to pour into the conflagrate burning fires on his hands. The burning fires then flew straight into the hole.

Torrential Heaven Flame was blazing on his hands. There was as if a fire snake wrapping around each of his fingers, twisting and sticking its tongue out. Miraculously, inside of those vivid-red flames appeared a faint purple color. That was a strange color resulted by the fusion of the Heaven Flame, his soul consciousness, and the profound Qi.

Shi Yan stretched out his hands through the hole, sending powerful burning fires of the Heaven Flame to cover them and then forcefully tore the hole apart.

More and more Heaven Flame’s burning fires flew up from the backs of his hands and his palms. The Thousand Year Earth Flame had sensed his urge, emitting stronger burning fires to support Shi Yan tearing the hole.

“Swoosh”

A crispy sound suddenly came up from that hole. Shi Yan’s hands had violently pulled and tore that hole, which had been originally as big as a human head size. Now the hole was big enough for an adult to get through.

“Go!” Di Shan shouted as his black wings flapped hastily. He flashed up like a black lightning and disappeared instantly.

Shi Yan got bewildered for a while. Before he could realize what was happening, Di Shan had already gone through the shelter, getting inside of the Sound Beast Mountain.

Not far from that, after seeing Di Shan’s action, Yu Rou and Yi Tian Mo also turned into flows of light without hesitation, going inside of the Sound Beast Mountain with a blinding speed.

At the foot of the Sound Beast Mountain, people of the Wings Race and the Demonic Sound Clan began to cheer and applaud. All of them were extremely joyful. They soon congratulated each other. Some of them even started drinking to celebrate. A few of the high-class warriors leaped up and flew towards Shi Yan’s direction. At this moment, cheerful sounds and noises echoed crazily.

After being dazed, Shi Yan saw the ten warriors of two tribes approaching closely. They were about to jump into the cave entrance.

“Boom boom boom”

An earth-shaking thunder sound suddenly came up from deep inside the sky. Horrendous streaks of lightning covered the entire Sound Beast Mountain entirely all in a sudden just like a heavy shower.

Simultaneously, the Sound Beast Mountain was immersed in a dense net of lightning. With a quick glance, that net of lightning looked like a curtain being pulled down.

The scream like ghost’s wail and wolves’ howl also followed the lightning piercing into people’s ears.

Being struck constantly by those streaks of lightning, the bodies of those Wings Race’s and Demonic Sound Clan’s top-class warriors were immediately incinerated, then fell down not long after having wiggled fiercely in the air. Their bodies exploded before they could have reached the ground. Flesh and blood were scattered everywhere.

The ten warriors of the two tribes were dead without leaving any bones in just a short moment.

All the pagans, who were standing everywhere around the Sound Beast Mountain, immediately changed their countenances dramatically after seeing the terrifying scene. The cheering noises had also died out.

No one could have ever imagined that the ten Sky Realm warriors could have been struck to death that fast. There was not a single sign, nor a minute spared for preparations. Those ten warriors were dead, just like that.

Those pagans, who had been cheerful, dazedly watched flesh and bones falling down like a heavy blood shower. Everybody ceased suddenly.

Some of the other warriors, who had originally wanted to enter the cave, were flying in the air, hurriedly stopped, as they didn’t dare to come any closer to the Sound Beast Mountain.

Shi Yan’s complexion had also changed tragically. Soon after that, he realized that while he got dazed, the hole, which had been torn apart, was slowly shrinking.

After raising his eyebrows with a little hesitation, he then suddenly jumped through the shelter, entering inside of the Sound Beast Mountain.

“Shriek Shriek Shriek”

Ear-piercing growls of Sound Beasts resounded as soon as he got into the Sound Beast Mountain.

Echoing growls of Sound Beasts were not less loud than the ones of thunderbolts outside. While earth-shaking sounds kept coming up, six figures of Di Shan and other five leaders were getting further and further, dashing towards the center of the mountain.

Yu Rou was the last one of the line.

The matriarch of the White Wings Clan held a charming figure, waiting for the other five figures to disappear. She looked at Shi Yan from a distance then gently said, “Let’s go in there together.”

Shi Yan was startled, he hesitated a little before saying, “Don’t you need me to keep this shelter open?”

Yu Rou revealed a faint smile, gently shaking her head, “If you’ve been able to break it, you can also do the same from the inside. Wait until we solve the problem inside the mountain, then you will break this shelter again. With the thunder and lightning outside that close the cliff, no one else can go in. You only uselessly waste your powers if you stay here. We don’t know how long it would take in there. Until we can solve the problem inside, if your powers have been already been drained by that time, it would have really been such a waste.”

Shi Yan nodded, determinedly stopped holding the shelter open. He zoomed towards Yu Rou.

“Shi Yan …” Yu Rou suddenly lowered her voice when he arrived next to her.

“What happened?” Shi Yan asked with a low voice, a suspicious look showed up on his face.

“Be careful.”

Yu Rou gently spoke up after hesitating, “You should not keep yourself too far away from me to avoid any unexpected events. You also need to be aware of Duo Long and the other three leaders of the Demonic Sound Clan. Perhaps you will be their target there…”

Shi Yan frowned and said, “Don’t they need me to break the shelter?”

“It’s hard to say …” Yu Rou’s face got serious, “You’ve probably realized that when thunder and lightning cover the outside of the mountain, the shelter inside of the Sound Beast Mountain starts to be weakened. If we can enter here, it means the shelter is not effective anymore. After we solve the problems inside of the mountain, the oppressive forces of the shelter may no longer exist. Until then, you don’t have any value to them …”

Shi Yan’s face suddenly changed. He nodded firmly after thinking for a while, “I understand.”

“As I have promised, as long as you break the shelter, I will try my best to protect you. I will keep my words.”

Even though Yu Rou was inside of a dark dull cave, her eyes, on the contrary, were very bright.

“I will try my best, but, if it does not happen as I wanted, don’t blame me …”

Shi Yan still felt warm although he was inside of a chilly dark cave. He bravely placed his hands on Yu Rou’s wings and honestly said, “I will still be grateful to you.”

Suddenly, the body of the matriarch of the White Wings Clan reddened as her charming face also blushed. Her beautiful eyes got mused while her body was slightly shivering.

“Oh?!” Shi Yan asked with surprise, “Are you ok?”

“Little pervert!” Yu Rou angrily stared at him. However, she had no power to resist. She was even more exquisitely dainty and ravishingly beautiful that all men would have surely committed a crime.

Clenching her teeth tightly, Yu Rou scolded, “Don’t you really know that the wings of the Wings Race’s girls are even more sensitive than our breasts and preserved area? We are not allowed to let any of the opposite genders touch them.”

“I didn’t know” Shi Yan looked shocked, innocently shaking his head.
