Divine Ability
The countless Fire Control Tribe wanted to exterminate all the humans who entered the Heaven-Piercing Tower. According to the intelligence provided by the Phoenix Winged Black Tiger, they wanted to borrow the power of Flame. This made sense, as the Fire Control Tribe Innate Ability needed to borrow the power of Flame to greatly enhance their strength. But how could they borrow this power of Flame?
More and more Cultivator are entering the Ninth Layer. Although it's not tens of thousands, there are still more than a thousand. Tens of thousands of Cultivator entered the Heaven-Piercing Tower, but only these thousand or so survived to reach the Ninth Layer. This shows that most of the Cultivator perished in the raging Flame on the First Layer.
In recent days, as more and more human Cultivator have arrived at the Ninth Layer, the friction between humans and the Fire Control Tribe has become increasingly intense. As soon as they entered the Heaven-Piercing Tower, they were ambushed by the Fire Control Tribe. The human Cultivator naturally harbored hatred towards these Fire Control Tribe, and similarly, the Fire Control Tribe held a deep and unforgettable hatred for the humans.
Two more days passed, and fewer and fewer human Cultivator arrived at the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-Piercing Tower. Those who were supposed to come had almost all arrived at the Ninth Layer, and those who hadn't come probably would never come again.
These days, hiding in the mountain valley, Zhuge Xiang only occasionally killed a few waves of the Fire Control Tribe that came to the valley. Most of the time, he was studying his Forging.
The space within the Heaven-Piercing Tower was extremely strange. Even though the spiritual energy here had almost completely disappeared, transforming into pure and frigid Demonic Qi, this Demonic Qi was still slowly improving the quality of equipment. In just a few days, almost all of Zhuge Xiang 'Zhuge Xiang equipment had improved by one level in quality, which greatly surprised him. What could be the reason that allowed the quality of equipment within the Heaven-Piercing Tower to improve as well?
Call...
However, just as Zhuge Xiang was focusing intently on his research on the equipment these past few days, suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky. With the appearance of this terrifying pressure without warning, the temperature in the air also suddenly rose significantly, making it feel scorching hot.
"Husband, look..." Mo Lingna exclaimed in surprise, pointing to the sky.
Following the direction Mo Lingna was pointing, even Zhuge Xiang's expression changed slightly...
The Ninth Layer the Heaven-Piercing Tower was only seventy or eighty miles in circumference. At this moment, all the Cultivator on the Ninth Layer felt the pressure from the sky. When they looked up, they were all horrified.
Above the sky, a gigantic vortex appeared—a spatial vortex, a massive spatial vortex that occupied almost half of the Ninth Layer's area. Everyone on the Ninth Layer could see that from within that vortex, a gigantic mountain peak passed through the spatial vortex and slowly descended.
The enormous mountain, Hundred Zhang high, had crimson rocks that had even crystallized, resembling burning Flame. A terrifyingly intense heat emanated from within the mountain, and even from a distance, one could feel the terrifying and domineering Flame within...
"Divine Ability, it is said that Void Realm Great Expert to pluck stars and seize the moon, Divine Ability yin and yang, and move mountains and fill seas. Today, I have witnessed it with my own eyes..." Zhuge Xiang murmured as he looked at the enormous Flame Mountain that emerged from the spatial vortex and slowly descended.
Cultivator, indeed, only upon reaching the Void Realm can one be considered a true Great Cultivator, capable of directly absorbing an entire mountain.
"No, this is not a simple matter of moving mountains and filling seas..."
Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, Lu Yuling shook her head. Her already cold and perfect face was now filled with seriousness as she said, "Ordinary mountain-moving and sea-filling techniques are merely performed within the same space. However, this Flame Mountain was clearly drawn in from outside the Heaven-Piercing Tower, directly crossing the spatial barrier. This is a method comparable to that of the gods and Buddhas of the Nine Heavens."
Lu Yuling's words make sense. Although Void Realm Great Expert also possess Divine Ability abilities to move mountains and fill seas, the mountains they move are all within the same plane. However, this enormous Flame Mountain within the Heaven-Piercing Tower was drawn in from outside the Heaven-Piercing Tower's space, spanning across space. This ability is clearly much stronger than that of Void Realm Great Expert.
The Divine Ability powers and methods were terrifying, but seeing the Flame Mountain descending from the sky, the thousands of Fire Control Tribe People cheered. The power of the Flame was so dense that it was terrifying, far surpassing even the largest Volcano. To these thousands of the Fire Control Tribe, this Flame Mountain was like Grotto-Heaven Blessed-Land.
"What a magnificent mountain!" The leader of the Fire Control Tribe exclaimed with awe as he gazed at the Flame Mountain that appeared out of the sky and descended.
The man appeared to be around thirty years old, shirtless, his body covered in ancient and Profound Mysteries patterns. In his dark red eyes, one could almost see Flame leaping, and it seemed as if everything in the world could be burned to ashes.
Suddenly, ripples spread across the space of the Ninth Layer of the Heaven-Piercing Tower, like the surface of water. Then, a pair of pitch-black claws appeared out of thin air, tearing the space apart with their bare hands. A man then emerged from the Void.
His appearance was different from ordinary people. His hair was as black as seaweed and was lazily draped over his shoulders. He was also bare-chested, with an ancient-style kasaya tied around his waist like a belt. Behind him were a pair of golden wings.
The leader of the Fire Control Tribe was a highly skilled cultivator, a top expert even at the Void Returning Stage. However, facing the Golden-Winged Man Space Rend with his bare hands, he felt a deep-seated awe. Even among the Fire Control Tribe, known for their fiery tempers, he sensed a power within this Golden-Winged Man that instilled fear in him as well.
"How is it? I've helped you capture the main peak of the 800-mile Flame Mountain. Are you satisfied? You should know that the main peak of this Flame Mountain was once the dwelling place of Phoenix," the Golden-Winged Man asked the leader of the Fire Control Tribe People calmly, as if capturing a mountain peak was no difficult task for him.
"This mountain is truly the best gift..." The leading Fire Control Tribe man, his eyes burning as he gazed intently at the Flame Mountain descending from the sky, made no attempt to hide his joy.
Heaven-Piercing Tower, although there are Volcano, those so-called Volcano are nothing compared to the Flame Mountain before us, a difference as vast as that between a lake and the sea.
"Well, I'm glad you're satisfied," the Golden-Winged Man nodded. "Since you're happy with the gift I brought you, don't forget what you promised me."
"Don't worry, our Fire Control Tribe has a long-standing feud with humans. Even if you didn't say anything, we would still take action and slaughter them. With the help of this Flame Mountain, our Fire Control Tribe will surely exterminate all human Cultivator within the Heaven-Piercing Tower," the leader of the Fire Control Tribe said, patting his thigh. Although the Fire Control Tribe was known for its volatile temper, it also demonstrated their boldness and unwavering commitment to their word.
Hearing the Fire Control Tribe's guarantee, the Golden-Winged Man nodded in satisfaction, turned and Space Rend to leave, leaving behind the words: "Then I will come and help you open the passage out of the Heaven-Piercing Tower when you have killed all the human Cultivator."
"Chirp..." The Flame Mountain descending from the sky was awe-inspiring, a Divine Ability comparable to that of Gods and Buddhas of all Heavens. However, as the Volcano slowly descended, the Little Fire Phoenix in the Pet Interface suddenly let out a clear cry, flapped its Flame wings, and flew out.
After these days, the Little Fire Phoenix looked even more beautiful. Its crimson feathers exuded a pure Flame aura, and it no longer looked like a little chick. It could be said to have begun to show the demeanor of a divine beast.
"Phoenix..." Tie Zhan and Lin Qingyu could not hide their shock as they looked at the Little Fire Phoenix summoned by Zhuge Xiang.
Even Large Sect might not possess a mythical beast like the Phoenix, yet Zhuge Xiang, with only the True Essence Realm cultivation, actually has a Phoenix as his pet.
"Little Fire Phoenix, you're out? Do you want to eat Fire Spirit Stone? Mother will give you Fire Spirit Stone to eat," Mo Lingna said affectionately as she saw the Little Fire Phoenix appear, quickly taking out a crimson Spirit Stone and offering it to the Little Fire Phoenix.
It's clear that Zhuge Xiang likes the Little Fire Phoenix, and Mo Lingna also treats the Little Fire Phoenix as her own child, wanting it to call her "mother," but she hasn't succeeded yet.
"Father, that mountain is beautiful, I want it. That mountain feels so familiar, it seems to give me a sense of home..."
Fire Spirit Stone would normally be something the Little Fire Phoenix would love, but now it ignored them, its phoenix eyes fixed on the falling mountain of Flame Mountain as it spoke to Zhuge Xiang.
"Is that so?" Zhuge Xiang's heart stirred. The Little Fire Phoenix's words made Zhuge Xiang stare at the huge Flame Mountain. Even the Little Fire Phoenix was attracted and automatically came out of the Pet Interface, which showed how attractive the Flame Mountain was to the Little Fire Phoenix.
Looking at the Flame Mountain, Zhuge Xiang was tempted. He considered taking it for himself. Flame Mountain Fire Control Tribe was strong? There might even be a mastermind behind it? So what? Man proposes, God disposes. How could he know he couldn't take the Flame Mountain if he didn't try? The Little Fire Phoenix's strength had increased, which was equivalent to his own strength increasing.
The massive Flame Mountain was not small, but the Fire Control Tribe at its head was also powerful. As it flew into the air, the leader of the Fire Control Tribe waved his hands repeatedly, and then thousands of surging and magnificent Flame erupted from within the Flame Mountain. The dense Flame aura made the entire Ninth Layer of the Heaven-Piercing Tower seem to be in a world of Flame.
"All Fire Control Tribe, heed my command! Slay all human Cultivator!" Hovering in mid-air, the Fire Control King, wielding the power of Flame, roared, his voice echoing throughout the entire Ninth Layer of the Heaven-Piercing Tower.
As the Fire Control King finished speaking, the expressions of all the human Cultivator changed drastically. Had these Fire Control Tribe finally made their full-scale attack? With the help of this Flame Mountain, the strength of these Fire Control Tribe had greatly increased.
