Han Feng's Preparations

The next day, in Mad Demon Flame City Mad Lion City.

Xiao Aotian appeared on a mountaintop fifty miles north of the city.

He gazed into the distance, his face serious.

The voice of Heavenly Flame Venerable rang in my ears:

"Xiao Xiao, don't worry. Although I was far inferior to Yao Chen, the Venerable Yao, even in my prime, according to you, his current situation is similar to mine. If we were to really fight, he would be at most six and I at four. Although it's still a disadvantage, as long as we can seize the opportunity, we might be able to take the largest share!"

Xiao Aotian: "With you saying that, I feel relieved."

"Hey, Brother Xiao, you're here early!"

Xiao Aotian turned around and saw Yang Shan and Su Yitang coming together.

Su Yitang was wearing a mask as usual, but how could Xiao Aotian not know how beautiful Su Yitang was?

Yang Shan not only won over various beauties in the game, but his secretary was also beautiful and capable, making Xiao Aotian extremely envious.

However, Xiao Aotian secretly encouraged himself:

"Opportunities are earned through hard work! With Senior Tianhuo backing me up, I'm sure I can give it a shot!"

As Yang Shan approached, the Venerable Yao floated out from the jet-black ring he was wearing.

The Heavenly Flame Venerable also appeared from Xiao Aotian's white ring.

The two elderly people looked at each other and then both gave a bitter smile.

Heavenly Flame Venerable spoke first, "I have long admired Venerable Yao's name. I am Heavenly Fire. It is an honor to fight alongside the Continent's Number One Alchemist!"

The Venerable Yao waved his hand:

"What Continent's Number One Alchemist? That's just empty talk. I've also heard of Brother Tianhuo's deeds. He fought to a draw with Seven-Star Dou Zun while only Five Star Dou Zun Five Round Separating Fire Method amazed the Central Plains. Brother Tianhuo's fire control skills are probably not much worse than mine!"

Heavenly Flame Venerable: "Hey! Brother Yao Chen, please don't flatter me. How can I compare to you?"

These two once renowned Dou Zun expert in Central Plains are now reduced to nothing but their souls. Since both of them primarily cultivate Fire Attribute, they inevitably feel a sense of mutual sympathy.

Xiao Aotian walked up to Yang Shan, looked him over, and asked, "You only brought Su Meinu?"

Yang Shan: "Isn't that enough?"

Xiao Aotian: "I thought you could at least call Thousand-Hundred Two Elders and Elder Su Qian, since you have so much influence at the Jia Nan Academy."

Yang Shan said helplessly, "I wish I could!"

Yang Shan has a wide network of connections in the Black-Corner Region, and he also returned to the Jia Nan Academy.

But Zi Yan is currently at a crucial juncture in her breakthrough, and Su Qian is constantly by her side, unable to leave.

However, Old Master Hu Qian was not strong enough, so even if he came, he wouldn't be of much help.

As for the two Nine Star Dou Zong, Thousand-Hundred Two Elders, they wouldn't have appeared if Jia Nan Academy hadn't been about to be destroyed.

As for Hun Dan and Protector Wu, Yang Shan did not allow the two of them to go to Han Feng as members of the Soul Hall.

Han Feng is now not seeking out the Venerable Yao, but instead is eyeing the secret realm, which already goes against Old Mu Bone's principles.

Their going to see Han Feng would only alert him.

However, since the Venerable Yao was harmed by the Soul Hall, it is not appropriate for Hun Dan and Luo Xie to meet with Venerable Yao.

Therefore, Yang Shan instructed Hun Dan and Luo Xie to act independently, remaining hidden in the shadows and focusing their efforts on Han Feng.

Thus, at least in the eyes of the Venerable Yao, this was an internal strife within the Soul Hall.

At this moment, Han Feng is unaware that Yang Shan is also eyeing the secret realm, while the magical beasts of Black Moon Ridge believe that only Han Feng is after the secret realm.

Anyway, Yang Shan has nothing to do with it!

Therefore, Yang Shan is now in a very comfortable position.

The Venerable Yao and the Heavenly Flame Venerable had finished their conversation and checked each other's information.

After all, these two seniors were both Dou Zun in the past, and their mastery of space control was extremely high. Their judgment was completely consistent: the secret realm would have an even larger crack today, enough to allow a Dou Zong- level expert to enter.

Just then, a seven-inch-long white snake flew down from mid-air, landed on Yang Shan's shoulder, affectionately nuzzled Yang Shan face, and then said:

"My Lord, Han Feng has already set off."

Xiao Aotian was stunned. "That voice sounds so familiar!"

The White Snake looked at Xiao Aotian: "Xiao Tribute, it's been a long time."

"Holy crap! Yue Mei!"

Xiao Aotian was greatly shocked. "You, you, you, how come you're only this small after your transformation?"

Yue Mei: "It can grow bigger, but it would be too conspicuous, and the True Lord's speed is too fast. I can't keep up with him, so I can only cling to his body."

Su Yitang muttered to herself, "Clinging to his body? I think you're just lusting after him, aren't you? Hey, maybe the boss will try to get Yue Mei to use her monster form. The Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya's Friendship System shouldn't be that perverted, right?"

Now that Han Feng has already set off, there's no need for Yang Shan to delay any longer.

The Venerable Yao and the Heavenly Flame Venerable returned to their respective rings, and the group immediately headed towards Black Moon Ridge.

It's worth mentioning that Han Feng did not choose to go secretly.

Demon Flame Valley and Black Emperor Sect have been fighting against the magical beasts of Black Moon Ridge for many days. There are now spies from the Baleful Wolf and Ghost Tiger Clan all over Black Moon Ridge, and two Seventh Order Peak Thousand Beast King are stationed in the core area.

It's simply impossible to sneak in unnoticed.

Therefore, when Han Feng went to Black Moon Ridge, he went there in a grand manner.

If the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King and the Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King had any sense at all, they would never have sent a sixth-tier magical beast to stop Han Feng.

That's no different from sending someone to their death.

Everyone should fight soldier to soldier, general to general, openly and honestly! The struggle for resources is often that simple and brutal. No matter how skillful you are in scheming and trickery, without sufficient strength, it's all for naught! Talented individuals like Yang Shan, who are both strong and cunning, are ultimately rare.

There's no way around it. Who else can possess both the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning and the Sea Heart Flame like True Lord Yang? The Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning conceals his aura, while the Sea Heart Flame transforms into a demonic beast.

Yang Shan, Su Yitang, and Xiao Aotian transformed into three-headed Ghost Flame Tiger and swaggered towards the core area of Black Moon Ridge.

He even greeted his fellow clansmen he encountered along the way! Xiao Aotian was truly amazed.

He hadn't known before that the Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning and the Sea Heart Flame had this effect.

With a little thought, one can understand just how powerful the strategic significance of concealing one's aura and transforming one's appearance truly is.

However, when the three arrived at the cliff where the secret realm was located, they found that there were no signs of fighting at all! In front of the spatial rift of the secret realm, hundreds of magical beasts from the Baleful Wolf and Ghost Tiger clans were guarding it.

Each race has one mid-stage Seventh Order Beast King and one early- Seventh Order King of Beasts; all the other magical beasts are sixth-tier.

Xiao Aotian: "Hiss, what's going on?"

Yang Shan: "Does that even need asking? We've already partnered. Little Tang, get ready to make a move!"

Su Yitang: "Okay!"

Seeing Su Yitang take out the guqin, Xiao Aotian quickly took down the Giant Ruler as well.

Yang Shan: "I'll work with Little Tang. Brother Xiao, you go and block the space rift. Make sure no monster gets in to report anything."

Yang Shan waited for Su Yitang for twenty seconds.

The region outside this secret realm is truly unlucky.

The ground here was plowed just over ten days ago.

Today, we will be plowed back and forth in the same way again.

"Connecting Cloud Tune" gathers monsters, and "Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls - Overload Edition" bombards them.

One combo attack can deal over three million damage!

Three Heaven and Earth Oddities turned the area beneath the cliff into an apocalyptic catastrophe.

Only "Lei Yi" and "Yan Yi," two Seventh Order -tier King of Beasts, dragged their battered bodies away from the explosion zone.

Then, when he looked up, he saw a blazing Ruler Qi energy over ten feet long.

Looking at the mess around him, Xiao Aotian clicked his tongue in amazement. "Damn, I need to train a Windwalker too. This support ability is ridiculously strong!"

As Yang Shan walked past Xiao Aotian, he casually remarked, "Is it possible that it's not Wan Feng who's strong, but rather my Little Tang who's really strong, ranking third on the Heaven Ranking?"

Xiao Aotian's face twisted in pain. "Damn it! Mycelium Bro, can you please stop being so hurtful?"

Although Xiao Aotian broke through to the Dou Zong, he still failed to regain his second place on the Heaven Ranking.

In terms of stats and Dou Technique, Su Yitang is no worse than Xiao Aotian.

Azure Valley Netherwind's rating is slightly higher than that of Fallen Heart Flame.

Therefore, "Heavenly Sound Mysterious Woman" should rightfully be ranked second on the Heaven Ranking!

Yang Shan: "Little Tang, send a clone in to take a look first."

Su Yitang: "Boss, my clone is a bit difficult to control, why don't you use yours?"

Yang Shan: "I can't use it."

Su Yitang: "Oh"

Su Yitang immediately split into two clones and entered the spatial rift.

"They really have joined forces! They're fighting that Heavenly Demon Phoenix right now."

Su Yitang suddenly jumped up. "Wow! That Heavenly Demon Phoenix was so powerful! My clone was just touched by that flame and it burned to ashes!"

The Yao Lao's voice rang out:

"That Heavenly Demon Phoenix has extremely high bloodline, and it has already stepped into the Dou Zun with one foot in. I'm afraid it wouldn't be afraid even if a true One-Star Dou Zun expert came!"

The gap between Dou Zun and Dou Zong can be described as a chasm.

Yang Shan, Dou Emperor, can kill Dou Zong, but even if Yang Shan reaches the late stage of Dou Zong, it would be difficult for him to match Dou Zun.

Yang Shan popped a Aura Concealing Pill into his mouth and then said, "I'll go in and take a look first. Wait for my news."

The Heaven and Earth Oddities effects of nature can only be fully realized in the hands of its master.

If it were Su Yitang and Xiao Aotian, they would inevitably be discovered.

Yang Shan reached out and handed Yue Mei to Su Yitang: "Little Tang, she's yours now."

Su Yitang was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly:

"Waaaah! Boss, could you please not make me take it? I'm a little scared."

Yue Mei immediately transformed into human form and bowed to Su Yitang: "This servant did not mean to frighten Mistress, please forgive Mistress."

Su Yitang was dumbfounded, pointing blankly at her own nose. "Huh? Mistress? You called me Mistress?"

Yue Mei: "As the True Lord's maid, I naturally address you Mistress."

"No, you've misunderstood, I..."

Yue Mei asked in confusion, "Is this a misunderstanding? Lord Zhenjun, isn't Lady Mystic Woman your wife?"

But when Yue Mei turned around, Yang Shan was nowhere to be seen.

He had already slipped into the spatial rift.

The moment he entered the secret realm, Yang Shan pounced and landed on the ground.

The Venerable Yao, hiding in the dark ring, nodded repeatedly. "To be hailed as a True Monarch, already a powerful figure, yet he shows no regard for his reputation and lies prostrate on the ground like this. If this child doesn't die young, he will surely achieve great things in the future!"

Yang Shan cautiously looked up and saw only dark flames that blotted out the sky in the distance.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix, with one foot already at the Dou Zun level, was flitting back and forth around the treetop.

In the distance, Han Feng, Earth Demon Old Ghost, Mo Tianxing, Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King, Thousand Thunder Evil Wolf King, Flame Demon Ape, and Shadow Wind Eagle.

The two sides, which should have been adversaries, are now cooperating and working together to deal with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix!

That Heavenly Demon Phoenix lived up to its reputation as Ancient Beast, fighting against many opponents without being at a disadvantage.

Especially the jet-black flames, so powerful that no one dares to avoid them.

But Han Feng wasn't unprepared.

He took out an iron umbrella, and as he opened it, a shrill, ghostly scream pierced the ears.

Hundreds of souls floated out from within the iron umbrella. Although they were human-shaped, their eyes were bloodshot and their mouths had ferocious fangs.

The Venerable Yao's voice was cold and stern:

"This beast actually cultivated the Soul Refining Evil Technique! He refined his soul into Ferocious Soul!"

"No wonder they dared to cause trouble for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix. Demonic beasts have weak souls and are most afraid of soul attacks!"

Yang Shan suddenly realized a problem.

He remembered that Han Feng had received a full one million Contribution Points from Old Mu Bone to recruit soldiers.

But right now, Han Feng doesn't have a single member of the Soul Hall by his side!

"Could it be that Han Feng turned all the helpers he recruited into Ferocious Soul?"

Upon seeing Han Feng unleash the Ferocious Soul, the others and the magical beasts immediately launched a powerful offensive, suppressing the pitch-black flames and forcibly clearing a path for the Ferocious Soul.

Hundreds of Ferocious Soul rushed towards the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Heavenly Demon Phoenix, attaching themselves to its body and opening their mouths full of fangs to tear at it frantically.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix had no wounds on its body, but it kept making painful cries.

The Venerable Yao continued to "explain" to Yang Shan: "Those Ferocious Soul only target the soul. The Heavenly Demon Phoenix's soul is being devoured by them. However, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's Bloodline Flame are extremely lethal to Ferocious Soul. With just this move, we probably won't be able to defeat the Heavenly Demon Phoenix."

Just as the Venerable Yao finished speaking, Han Feng suddenly launched an attack on the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix would not surrender easily. It used its Bloodline Flame to the extreme, condensing black flames into millions of flying swallows, determined to burn Han Feng to ashes.

But suddenly, a light shone on Han Feng's wrist, and a protective shield enveloped Han Feng.

In the blink of an eye, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix was disturbed by the Ferocious Soul and caught off guard, Han Feng Heavenly Demon Phoenix already standing on its head.

"You bastard, how dare you stand above me! I will burn you to ashes!"

Han Feng sneered:

"What do you mean, 'your head'? This is my head!"

Han Feng slammed both hands down on the head of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix froze, then fell from mid-air.

It crashed to the ground with a thud, creating a deep crater.

"What... what are you trying to do, you bastard! You want my body!"

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix's body began to thrash wildly, but Han Feng stuck to its head like a piece of chewing gum.

The powerful figures, including the Earth Demon Old Ghost and the Thousand Flame Ghost Tiger King, immediately surrounded the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Heavenly Demon Phoenix and used their own Dou Qi to help suppress it.

Su Yitang, Yue Mei, and Xiao Aotian have already entered the secret realm.

At this point, there's no need to hide anymore.

Han Feng naturally also noticed Yang Shan and the others.

"I never expected someone would try to be the one to pounce on me! They really underestimate me, Han Feng. Flame Tiger, Thunder Wolf, I'm leaving you two to handle this! This beast, give me a little more time, and I'll be able to complete the possession!"

"Your name is Han Feng, right? I'll remember you! You want to possess me? You're not worthy!"

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix's body began to expand rapidly like a balloon.

Han Feng was terrified and quickly fled from the top of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix.

"You beast, you actually want to self-destruct!"

"My Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan would rather be burned to ashes than have our bodies taken by another! Han Feng, rest assured, you carry my essence blood! My clan will come for your life! Hahahaha!"

The Heavenly Demon Phoenix's laughter was exceptionally triumphant, and its body seemed to have swelled to its limit.

The earth-shattering explosion unleashed boundless black flames that spread throughout the entire secret realm!
