Chapter 28: Forced to Leave the Mountain? The Secret Realm Opens!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At the peak of the mountain, relying on his Spirit Vision and Beast’s Sense of Smell, Liu Yan could sense that there were dozens of auras approaching from not far away.
These dozens of auras seemed to be very excited and were also quite strong.
At first, Liu Yan did not think much of it, thinking that it was the stronger Awakened who had arrived.
However, it didn’t take long for him to notice that something was wrong. The fire elements around him seemed to have been ignited.
He hurriedly went to the side of the high platform and looked down.
With his Spirit Vision, even though he was quite far away, Liu Yan could clearly see the situation in the distance.
Thick smoke was billowing in the distance. The fire elements had been ignited, and a huge fire was rapidly sweeping towards the top of the mountain.
Behind the flames were dozens of Awakened.
Only then did Liu Yan understand the situation.
It turned out that these people knew that they were no match for him and that they did not even have a chance to fight him, so to avoid any fights with him altogether, they had chosen to set fire to the mountain.
Through Spirit Vision, Liu Yan looked at their faces and memorized them one by one.
Many of them were the Awakened who had been in the same Tower as Liu Yan.
Some had talents related to the fire element, some had talents related to the wind element, while some had inflammable items with them.
Under the cooperation of the group, they used the wind to help the fire grow, then added oil to the fire. Soon, the fire elements in the surroundings were ignited, forming roaring flames that headed toward the top of the mountain.
“These people are really ruthless!” Liu Yan was secretly surprised.
He did not expect that other than the fierce beasts and the environment in the Tower, the Awakened who were human, like him, were also so dangerous.
Indeed, the hearts of people were unpredictable.
Liu Yan knew that they wanted to burn him to death with the fire. This way, when the secret realm opened, they could rush toward the treasure.
With this, not only would they face one less powerful opponent, but they would also be able to keep the treasure for themselves.
Liu Yan was helpless and prepared to use Swiftsteps.
With Swiftsteps, his speed could be extremely terrifying.
In addition, he had an A-grade skill Flame Control, which provided him with powerful fire resistance.
Liu Yan estimated that it would not be a problem for him to resist the flames for a short period of time, as long as he did not stay in them for a long time.
He would avoid the danger of the fire for now and settle the score with them later.
Having made up his mind, Liu Yan was just about to set off when an announcement suddenly sounded in the Tower.
[The boss on the fire elemental mountain has been killed. The secret realm has been opened!]
When the group of Awakened below heard this, they were all puzzled.
They had just started the fire and the fire had not even reached the top of the mountain yet. How was the boss already killed?
Could it be that the boss had rushed into the fire foolishly and had been burned to death?
At this moment, Liu Yan, who was on the mountain, heard a strange sound.
He followed the source of the sound and came to the other side of the mountain.
Thick smoke billowed around him, accompanied by a circle of flames.
Liu Yan used Flame Control and released a wave of flames, making a hole in the circle of flames.
Through the hole, he noticed that on the other side of the mountain, the entrance to the secret realm had appeared.
Seeing this, Liu Yan was delighted.
Those Awakened had bad intentions, but they probably did not expect that in such a short time, not only had Liu Yan rushed to the top of the mountain, but he had also killed the powerful boss on the top of the mountain alone.
After the boss had been killed, the secret realm opened, and its entrance had thus appeared.𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚
He could totally be the first to enter the secret realm, exploring the secret realm before any of them and having the chance to obtain the treasures first.
On the other hand, the plans of the Awakened who hadn’t reached the mountaintop had backfired. Not only had the huge fire that they created not harm nor affect Liu Yan, but it even prevented them from advancing forward. With this, they could not head toward the entrance of the secret realm and enter it at the first opportunity.
The backfire was especially apparent because the current elemental peak they were on was fire-attributed. The surrounding fire elements were extremely abundant.
Under the huge fire, a large number of fire elements had been ignited. The fire burned more and more vigorously, showing no signs of dying out soon.
“You guys can just wait till the flames die off to come up slowly. I’ll be going ahead!” Liu Yan glanced at the group of Awakened who had set the mountain ablaze, then returned to the other side of the mountain and rushed down the mountain.
The surrounding flames also burned to the other side of the mountain.
However, Liu Yan had Flame Control, so he had a very strong fire resistance.
To be on the safe side though, he still used Flame Control to build a wall of flames around himself, blocking the other flames outside.
At the same time, he activated Swiftsteps, and his body instantly became lighter while his speed increased tremendously.
Relying on Swiftsteps and Flame Control, Liu Yan rushed towards the entrance of the secret realm that was halfway up the mountain.
Soon, enduring the surrounding flames, Liu Yan arrived at the entrance of the secret realm.
At this moment, even though he had a good flame resistance, he still felt a burning sensation all over his body that was extremely painful.
This was, after all, the fire elemental mountain. Ordinary flames simply could not compare to the fire formed from the ignition of fire elements.
When he arrived at the entrance of the secret realm, Liu Yan hurriedly took a step forward and entered it.
A wave of dizziness washed over him, but it disappeared in an instant.
When Liu Yan stood still, he could only feel a wave of coldness all over his body.
Liu Yan looked around and saw that this was another space. It was a world covered in ice and snow.
At the same time, a notification sounded from his wristband: [You have entered the secret realm. You have temporarily been removed from the points calculations, and your points will not be factored into the ranking list for the time being!”
Liu Yan, who had felt extremely hot just a moment ago, now felt extremely cool and comfortable.
He was quite surprised. He did not expect that the secret realm on the fire elemental mountain would be a world of ice and snow. It was truly strange.
With curiosity, he slowly walked forward and began to explore the secret realm.
As far as he could see, the secret realm was very big. It was a world of ice and snow that seemed to stretch on forever, but there were no other creatures or treasures within sight.
After walking for a while, Liu Yan, who had initially felt extremely cool and comfortable, soon felt that something was not right.
He was now feeling a bone-piercing cold. Moreover, it seemed that as he advanced further, his surroundings were becoming colder. It was as if he was in an ice cellar that had been sealed off for a hundred years.
Liu Yan knew that if this continued, he might freeze to death before he could find any treasures.
With this, he hurriedly used Flame Control to create a circle of flames around himself, providing him with warmth.
Just a moment ago, Liu Yan had used a wall of flames to block the flames and the heat.
And now, it was the complete opposite. He was now using a flame wall to block the ice and snow as well as the cold, to provide himself with warmth.
Relying on the Flame Control, Liu Yan was finally able to maintain his body’s normal temperature. He hurriedly increased his speed in his explorations, not daring to stay in this secret realm for too long.
