"First Heavenly Layer of the Dao of Lightning."

Ye Zichen opened his deep eyes. Ten Dao of Lightning markings shot out from his body and quickly turned into a lightning storm, a sea of thunder, a lightning beast …

"Go!"

"Let's go, senior sister Fu. We'll continue our journey deeper into this dead end and see if we can find a way out." Ye Zichen took a deep breath and proposed as he looked at the depths of the Death Ridge, which made him feel inexplicably uneasy and hid a shocking secret.

Ye Zichen and Fu Youyue carefully moved forward. As they went deeper into the Dead Hill, they felt the spiritual energy in the air become thinner and thinner, while the speed at which the soul power circulated in their bodies became slower and slower.

"There are words on the wall ahead."

Around half an hour later, Ye Zichen found a line of calligraphy written with strong strokes and vigorous strokes on a stone wall with large amounts of black weeds growing on it.

My Great Sun War Emperor has trained for more than four thousand years and is unable to break through the realm of pursuing a lifetime. Thus, he was unable to live and die in search of an opportunity to break through. Before I die, I will leave the low-rank Dao Technique, Great Solar Flame Fist, on the stone wall and pass it down to the fated.

"Battle-Emperor, there's actually a legacy left behind by an Emperor level powerhouse."

Fu Youyue's eyes immediately lit up as she looked at the cultivation method of the Great Heavenfire Fist on the stone wall.

"Senior sister, there are many mysterious things about this dead mountain. Let's cultivate here while we search for a way out." Ye Chenfeng also showed great interest in the Great Sun Heaven Fire Fist and suggested.

"Alright!"

Fu You Yue nodded and sat down cross-legged with Ye Zichen under the stone wall, then started to browse through the cultivation method of the Great Sun Fire Fist Art.

When practiced to the peak, the fist was like the blazing sun, able to destroy mountains and cut off streams of torrents. However, the training requirements were quite harsh, requiring one to comprehend the Dao of Fire or possess the Heaven Flame to use the Heaven Flame to stimulate the fist.

Looking at the conditions required to practice the Great Heaven-Fire Fist, a bitter smile appeared on Fu Youyue's face. She knew that she was destined to have no fate with this Dao skill.

"Senior sister, don't be depressed. I'll teach you a top-grade Heaven rank soul skill."

As he looked at Fu You Yue's dejected appearance, Ye Zichen took out the top-grade heaven rank soul skill, Blood Demon Art, that he obtained from killing the Blood Slaughter Sword King and handed it to Fu You Yue.

"This Blood Devil Art is extremely powerful. When unleashed to the limit, its power is comparable to an Inferior Grade Dao Skill. If you can master it, you will be able to kill experts from the Xuan Beast Sect." Ye Chenfeng introduced.

"Thank you!"

Fu Youyue took the jade slip that Ye Chenfeng handed her with a complicated look in her eyes.

She, who was proud and arrogant, hated to owe favors the most. However, she owed Ye Chenfeng too much during the days she was with him, causing her to be unable to repay him.

"Sigh, I hope to leave this place alive so that I can have the chance to repay Morning Wind's kindness. Otherwise …" Fu Youyue sighed softly in her heart. She glanced at Ye Zichen's angular face from the corner of her eyes, then did her best to eliminate all distractions and start cultivating the Blood Devil Art.

Time passed by, one day at a time. When Ye Zichen and Fu Youyue were cultivating the inheritance, that terrifying destructive storm appeared once again, engulfing the inner mountains. The sky and the earth changed drastically, and there was no daylight left.

"Another ten days. It seems like the storm of destruction within the inner mountains will be formed once every ten days."

Ye Zichen looked into the distance and saw a black destructive storm, which swept across the entire inner mountains like a surging army of thousands of men and horses. He muttered to himself as he continued to cultivate while using the divine brain's powerful deduction abilities.

Roughly thirteen days later, Ye Zichen successfully comprehended the low-rank Dao skill, the Great Sun Fire Fist Art, through the deduction of his mind devouring brain.

As the punch was thrown out, the billowing waves of fire condensed into a tyrannical fiery red sun. Its terrifying power was enough to heavily injure a rank two beast king.

"Let's go, Senior Sister. We will continue forward."

Ye Chenfeng was very satisfied with the power of the Great Sun Fire Fist Art. He stretched his body and continued to dig deeper into the dead zone with Fu Youyue.

No one knew how many years the Mountain of Death had existed for. Too many astounding geniuses had died, and the supreme ruler of this era, the ancient king, had left behind a legacy that was enough to make people jealous of him.

However, because most of the inheritances had existed for far too long, they had corroded over time, causing the handwriting to be blurry and unable to be comprehended.

However, among the many inheritances, Ye Chenfeng and Fu Youyue were still able to find quite a few that moved their hearts.

"Top grade heaven rank soul skill, Wind Riding Technique, Supreme Yi Sword Art, Heaven Defying Seven Demon Sabers …"

Looking at the top grade heaven rank soul skills that could make any peerless king covet them, Ye Chenfeng and Fu Youyue cultivated patiently to increase their foundation.

Very quickly, two months passed.

During these two months, Ye Chenfeng and Fu Youyue had gained a lot. Ye Chenfeng had cultivated two top grade heaven rank soul skills, and he had also successfully condensed the fourth light circle.

Fu You Yue had also mastered the first form of the Heaven rank soul skill, Heaven Defying Seven Demonic Saber Technique, and the first form of the Blood Demonic Art, which showed signs of condensing into a second light circle.

"According to the dead aura in the air and the changes in the surroundings, the inner mountains should be ahead. Senior Sister, I suggest you wait here for me. I will explore the inner mountains by myself."

The two of them passed through the dense death aura and arrived at the end of the col. As he looked at the mountain forest that was covered by a large amount of black fog, Ye Chenfeng suggested with a serious expression.

"No, I want to go through the Inner Ridge with you. I don't want to stay here by myself!" Fu Youyue shook her head and said with a firm tone. She was afraid that she would separate from Ye Zichen.

"Alright, three days later, when the storm of destruction is gone, let's go deeper into the inner mountains and search for a way out." Ye Zichen nodded as he looked at Fu Youyue's firm gaze, and decided.

Three days later, a destructive storm came as scheduled. The surging storm was like an awakened primordial beast, roaring and devouring everything in its path. The terrifying energy made people unable to resist at all, making them want to die.

"Array patterns, this storm of destruction is formed from array patterns!"

Standing at the end of the col and looking at the apocalyptic storm, the powerful God Devouring Brain felt the power of the formation patterns.

"There must be some big secret hidden in this dead zone. What kind of evil is suppressed here?"

Ye Chenfeng looked at the storm of destruction that engulfed the world with a serious gaze. He controlled the God Devouring Brain to release his soul power into the Death Ridge in order to feel if it was real or not.

However, the formations of the Dead Ridge were too terrifying. The mind devouring could sense it for a few hours, but to no avail.

Half a day later, the storm of destruction disappeared, and the chaotic inner mountains gradually regained their peace.

"Senior Sister, let's go!"

Although the danger level of the inner mountains was beyond Ye Zichen's imagination, he was unwilling to be trapped here. He summoned his Golden Roc Wings and held Fu Youyue's hot and soft body in his arms, then spread his wings as he flew into the inner mountains, which was filled with a large amount of black fog and unknown danger.
