Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor
Chapter 441 - 451: Gate of Hell

Chapter 441: Chapter 451: Gate of Hell

The Panlong Crown Prince’s Four Great Divine Generals, each of them possessing both wisdom and bravery, were extraordinary in strength.

Far more formidable than even Xuanyuan Wudi. They were all Great Generals under the Panlong Heavenly Emperor. Even when dealing with another rebellious Elder Brother last time, only two Divine Generals were dispatched.

This time, to exterminate Chu Feng, a mere Great Sword Master, all Four Great Divine Generals were mobilized, causing all of his trusted ministers and Great Generals to watch the Panlong Crown Prince in utter shock.

Perhaps the Eternal Life Pill Master was formidable and incredible in his past life, but now, having been reborn, he only has the cultivation of a Great Sword Master.

Is there really a need to make such a fuss?

"I myself will also personally lead the Dragon Guards of the Azure Dragon Empire to guard the vital passages leading to the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage as the final layer of protection. We must not allow Chu Feng to enter the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage alive!"

The Panlong Crown Prince truly had a penchant for dramatic statements.

Dispatching Four Great Divine Generals was already alarming, but now he personally undertook the campaign to intercept Chu Feng. It was clear just how seriously he took Chu Feng.

"Your Majesty, you have the stature of a sovereign, the Supreme Venerable. To exterminate Chu Feng, leaving it to the Four Great Divine Generals is sufficient. For you to personally lead troops to do this, it shows too much regard for Chu Feng."

"You have only just ascended the throne and the court is somewhat unstable. Leaving rashly now, if those with ulterior motives come to know of it, I fear they might seize the opportunity to act against you!"

"Besides, the Wan Jian Sect Main Lineage is situated within the territory of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country. The Heavenly Emperor of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country has long held resentment against you. Leading troops into the territory of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country is far too dangerous..."

His counselors pleaded earnestly.

Hoping that the Panlong Crown Prince would abandon his intention to personally intercept and kill Chu Feng.

In their view, it was not worth it for the Panlong Heavenly Emperor to put himself in danger over a minor character like Chu Feng.

"I understand the pros and cons. My ministers need not persuade me further. While I am away, you all manage the court affairs, just wait for my return!"

After speaking, the Panlong Crown Prince dismissed the ministers and began to arrange troops to prepare for intercepting and killing Chu Feng.

As for Xuanyuan Wudi and others who requested permission to exterminate Xiong’s merchant team, the Panlong Crown Prince directly rejected the request. The Xiong Family had the Extreme Cold Cave as a backing; the Panlong Crown Prince indeed did not dare to provoke them.

He instructed Xuanyuan Wudi and the others to focus on tracking Chu Feng’s whereabouts.

...

Inside the Demon Sea Fierce Land, Chu Feng and his two companions were advancing quickly. When they passed through a valley, they felt the piercing coldness, with fog rising from below. They could vaguely see green ghost flames leaping in the valley bottom.

"It’s truly rare to see so many phosphorus fires within this valley!"

Chu Feng couldn’t help but marvel.

To avoid being hunted down by Xuanyuan Wudi and others, they had taken some untraveled and dangerous paths, unlike Xiong’s merchant team, which followed safer routes that had been opened by predecessors.

These paths were frequently traveled by numerous experts, and any demons or dangers encountered were resolved immediately.

Thus, they were very safe.

However, the routes taken by Chu Feng and his comrades were untrodden. As trailblazers, they naturally faced numerous dangers.

"It is rumored that this valley is haunted by countless Evil Yin Souls and Fierce Ghosts. Some have even encountered the Ghost King here. It’s safer for us to keep our distance." Pu Li seemed to have some knowledge of this valley.

As he spoke, he led Chu Feng and Elder Hei Dimo to circumvent the valley from afar.

"Chu Feng, try not to come here in the future. There are many who say that this valley is the Gate of Hell. Anyone who enters is said to meet with certain death," advised Pu Li with great earnestness.

"Is there really a Gate of Hell?" Chu Feng was obviously somewhat skeptical.

Moreover, when he passed by the valley just now, the Abnormal Fire within him became particularly active. This situation only comes about under two possibilities.

Either there is an energy within the valley that the Abnormal Fire can absorb, or there is the presence of another Abnormal Fire.

Clearly, the latter possibility is greater.

"If I’m not mistaken, there is likely Netherworld Strange Fire within this valley! It is a flame that ranks highly among Abnormal Fires and is an exceedingly rare type of Cold Flame."

"If I can devour it, my Nine Yang Strange Fire will achieve a balance of Yin and Yang, and at the very least, it will upgrade by a Great Grade."

Chu Feng’s Nine Yang Strange Fire has already been elevated to Third Grade Zero Stage, with a temperature reaching 1,500 degrees. Eradicating a Sword Saint Level expert poses absolutely no problem.

If it were to upgrade to Third-grade Ninth Stage, the temperature should be able to reach 2,000 degrees.

Even at 2,000 degrees, dealing with a Sword God Level expert would be somewhat forced.

Moreover, there are some special materials that require higher than 2,000 degrees to refine. Basically, it is rare for any fuel to burn at such high temperatures.

Whether it’s raw coal or high-grade Beast Charcoal, it is difficult for them to reach a temperature above 2,000 degrees when burned. Even the black petroleum mined from the depths of the sea or underground can reach at most 1,900 to 2,000 degrees when burned.

It is precisely because flames as high as 2,000 degrees are exceedingly rare.

Therefore, there are many special materials that often cannot be refined or require an extremely long time to be refined.

If Chu Feng’s Nine Yang Strange Fire could advance to Fourth-grade, its temperature would definitely exceed 2,000 degrees.

At that time, no matter what materials Chu Feng needs to refine, he could do it with ease.

He may even be able to refine Ninth Grade Elixirs that only Alchemy Venerates are capable of, just like in his previous life.

Beyond that, once the temperature of the Abnormal Fire exceeds 2,000 degrees, it can eradicate Sword God Level experts.

Chu Feng is extremely interested in this perilously dangerous Hell Valley.

He is eager to explore the depths of the valley.

But for now, he is too weak and in a hurry to meet up with Han Xiaoying and the others, so he has to suppress this thought.

He will come back to explore once he becomes stronger.

At the very least, he needs to have attained the Sword Saint Realm in his cultivation.

...

Five days later, Chu Feng, Pu Li, and Elder Hei Dimo finally safely made their way through the Demon Sea Fierce Land. Because Pu Li was very familiar with the Demon Sea Fierce Land, their journey was comparatively safe, albeit with some close calls.

The most dangerous encounter was with a giant eagle with a wingspan of over thirty meters that pursued them.

The strength of that giant eagle was comparable to a Three-star Sword God or higher, neither Elder Hei Dimo nor Pu Li were a match for it.

Even Chu Feng’s Sword Shadow Worm was extremely wary of the giant eagle.

This was because the Sword Shadow Worm’s strength was still low and it had not yet advanced to a Demon Beast. Otherwise, it might have been able to battle the giant eagle.

Generally speaking, anything above a spiritual beast can be considered a Demon Beast. They have one most notable characteristic, the ability to use Demon Arts.

While spiritual beasts can only be ’barbarians,’ relying on their powerful body and combat skills during battle.

Never think that spiritual beasts don’t know any techniques; in this regard, they possess a strong natural talent.

Combat Skills created by human masters in later generations such as Monkey Fist, Five Elements Fist, and Eagle Claw Skill were all derived by imitating the attack techniques of beasts.
