At the summit of Flaming Mountain, steep and massive cliffs twisted like a coiled dragon.
Countless fire-attribute birds soared through the sky, tearing through the clouds.
Within the mountain, numerous fire-attribute beasts roared.
"Who goes there?"
"How dare you trespass on True Yang Sect territory! Leave at once!"
As soon as Jiang Ning and his companions descended, they heard a deafening roar.
A towering rock-fire giant, hundreds of feet tall, emerged, wielding a massive axe.
Each step shook the heavens and the earth.
The giant's body was as hard as rock, enveloped in flames, exuding an extremely fierce aura.
Its strength was no weaker than a sixth-order quasi-emperor.
As expected of the second most powerful force in the desolate ancient world.
Even the rock-fire guardian at the mountain gate possessed such formidable strength.
"A mere fire creature dares to shout at us? Courting death!"
Vermilion Bird coldly rebuked.
"You are the ones courting death! Causing trouble in my True Yang Sect will lead to even the fall of emperors!"
The rock-fire giant swung its massive axe, cleaving towards Jiang Ning and the others.
Instantly, dust and stones flew, the earth trembled, and the power was terrifying.
Vermilion Bird wanted to attack, but Jiang Ning stopped her.
Jiang Ning summoned the Nirvana Cave.
Above his head, a cave entrance resembling a great sun, entwined with raging flames, appeared.
A powerful suction force enveloped the rock-fire giant.
"No..."
The terrifyingly strong rock-fire giant let out a desperate roar.
It was directly absorbed into Jiang Ning's Nirvana Cave.
The Cave Nurturing Art allowed for pure fire-attribute beings to be absorbed into the Nirvana Cave, increasing the cave's power.
"Heh heh!"
At that moment, strange laughter echoed from all around.
The rock-fire giant's capture did not evoke any tension or fear.
"Who doesn't know that even emperors must bow respectfully upon arriving at the True Yang Sect? Yet he dares to act so presumptuously and attack."
"No one can save them now. Even their backing forces and relatives will be implicated, suffering a terrible death."
Mocking voices continued to emanate.
"Roar roar roar!"
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
At that moment, the fire-attribute birds and beasts guarding the mountain rushed forward.
They vowed to trample Jiang Ning and his companions.
"Perfect timing. All of you, enter the Nirvana Cave and submit to me!" Jiang Ning's lips curled into a cold smile.
He summoned the Nirvana Cave once more.
A terrifying suction force enveloped the entire area.
Instantly, the sounds of spurting blood and miserable cries filled the air.
One by one, they were sucked into Jiang Ning's Nirvana Cave.
"No..."
"What kind of technique is this? Why do we not even have the power to resist?"
The fire-attribute beings roared in unwillingness.
After absorbing thousands of fire-attribute beings into the Nirvana Cave.
Jiang Ning could clearly sense that his power had increased by a small margin.
"Let's go, we'll break into the True Yang Sect."
"Yes, Master."
Jiang Ning led Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, stepped through the mountain gate, and charged into the True Yang Sect.
"Hundreds of thousands of years!"
"They... they are the first to break into the mountain gate, right?"
Watching Jiang Ning and his companions swagger into the mountain gate, some hidden beings and True Yang Sect disciples revealed incredibly shocked expressions.
The True Yang Sect's power was so great that no one had dared to cause trouble for hundreds of thousands of years.
Naturally, no one had ever broken into the mountain gate.
Jiang Ning and his companions became the exception in hundreds of thousands of years.
"However, this is considered to have completely offended our True Yang Sect."
"They are dead."
"My True Yang Sect has a million years of history, and its foundation is unimaginable to ordinary people."
"Offending my True Yang Sect will leave you with no way to heaven and no door to hell."
The disciples revealed confident expressions.
Even the Desolate Heaven Palace would not dare to cause such a blatant disturbance.
...
After entering the mountain gate.
There was a formation.
This was an endless number of formations, connected together, forming a sect-protecting grand array.
Extending for thousands of miles, it was incomparably astonishing.
Even Jiang Ning marveled at it.
The True Yang Sect's foundation was too strong.
A thousand-mile grand array, who could easily break it?
"The Divine Dao Array Codex is the number one array scripture of the human path."
"If I were an Emperor Array Master, breaking this thousand-mile grand array would be easy."
"Although I cannot break the thousand-mile grand array, I can still break a gap and enter the True Yang Sect before the True Yang Sect fully defends."
Jiang Ning confidently stepped into the thousand-mile grand array.
The thousand-mile grand array was countless times more terrifying than the Myriad Array Land back then.
It was composed of millions of great arrays, layer upon layer, with world-shaking power.
Ordinary emperors who rashly barged in would definitely die.
This was the terrifying foundation of a million-year overlord.
Jiang Ning pushed his array attainments to the extreme.
The exquisite mysteries of the Divine Dao Array Codex surfaced in his mind.
Jiang Ning's brain was like a supercomputer, desperately calculating how to break the array.
His eyes shot out red light, scanning the array.
All the weaknesses instantly surfaced in his mind.
"Open!"
Jiang Ning shouted loudly.
Countless profound golden lights rushed towards the array, destroying its weaknesses.
Boom!
In an instant, Jiang Ning tore a small gap in the thousand-mile grand array.
If the True Yang Sect was facing a great enemy and fully mobilized the array, Jiang Ning would definitely not be able to break the thousand-mile grand array.
However, they had been invincible for too long, had become numb, and no longer took the world seriously.
After opening a gap, Jiang Ning led White Tiger and Vermilion Bird into the True Yang Sect.
At this time, a scene of immortal palaces and jade towers appeared before their eyes.
All of the True Yang Sect's buildings were suspended in mid-air.
Submerged in a vast mist of spiritual energy, it was like being in a fairyland.
"Touching the heavenly might of my True Yang Sect will undoubtedly lead to death."
Just as they stepped into the True Yang Sect, a booming voice rang out.
A sea of fire emerged, accompanied by a violent hurricane rolling in.
A bird with a wingspan of a thousand feet, covering the sky and the sun, came over.
Its body was covered in dense flames, huge and boundless, its power so terrifying that even quasi-emperors would have their souls torn apart.
"Fire Fiend Divine Bird?"
"This guy coveted Vermilion Bird's sacred blood back then, broke into Flame Valley, and was beaten to near death by my mother."
"However, my mother was also seriously injured and died not long after."
"I didn't expect it to not die and become a lackey of the True Yang Sect."
The angry little firebird chirped angrily.
"Master, let me deal with it."
Vermilion Bird requested battle.
Wanting to avenge her mother.
"Mm." Jiang Ning nodded.
The angry little firebird flew up.
"You old thing, you should have died back then. It seems that you only saved your life by becoming a lackey of the True Yang Sect."
"Today I will definitely kill you."
The Fire Fiend Divine Bird shouted: "Who are you?"
Boom!
The angry little firebird directly transformed into the Vermilion Bird body.
Its size was huge, no less than the Fire Fiend Divine Bird.
"Vermilion Bird?"
"Heh heh, it seems that you are that little fellow who was just born that year."
"Your mother died in my hands, what ability do you have to kill me?"
The Fire Fiend Divine Bird laughed mockingly.
