At this moment, the already scorching environment became even hotter, with waves of heat surging like sea waves, as if about to swallow Qin An and the others whole.

And accompanying the heat waves that surged like the sea, an anomaly suddenly appeared.

There was a scorching sun hanging in the sky, baking the earth, but just as Liu Xuanming finished speaking, another large scorching sun appeared opposite it.

The two scorching suns mirrored each other, seemingly in a warring stance, mutually exclusive like water and fire, with neither yielding to the other.

Upon the appearance of the second sun, the temperature of this Forbidden Land of Extreme Heat suddenly doubled.

At this moment, if a Void Shattering Realm cultivator entered, they might be instantly roasted into a dry corpse.

Even Qin An and others in the Element Transformation Realm felt a hint of unbearable discomfort under the doubled heat.

Liu Xuanming’s face suddenly changed: "It seems that something indeed happened in this Forbidden Land of Extreme Heat, as two scorching suns have appeared."

Qin An squinted his eyes, observing the scorching suns in the sky, pondering in his mind.

Although the mission description wasn’t detailed, the explanation regarding the Forbidden Land of Extreme Heat was sufficiently thorough.

This so-called Forbidden Land of Extreme Heat was created by the convergence of numerous mysterious methods embodied in the scorching sun.

And now that two suns have appeared, though it need not be spoken, it’s clear that there’s something unusual happening here.

Guan Dahai said gravely: "Everyone, let’s first go to the human settlement here and figure out the specific situation."

Wu Deshu also added: "In the past, a single sun was enough to bring catastrophe to the settlements here; now with another sun, it’s unimaginable how terrifying their environment must be."

The other two women exchanged a glance, with Liu Piaoxu taking the lead to speak.

"We will follow your arrangement, since we are all Forbidden Land Envoys, naturally we must act together; let’s quickly head to the human settlement."

Chen Yue didn’t speak, but it was clear that Liu Piaoxu’s words also represented her intention.

Qin An, being the only one moving individually, became the focus of everyone’s gaze, as if asking him whether this method was feasible.

Qin An nodded: "There’s no other way, as per everyone’s suggestion, let’s first go to the human settlement and see what’s going on."

Seeing no objections, Liu Xuanming then waved his sleeve: "Everyone, follow me."

The group quickly headed in a direction.

Under the scorching sun, it made one feel dry-mouthed and parched.

Fortunately, they were in the Element Transformation Realm and had substantial foundations, so they could still manage to defend themselves adequately.

But those slightly weaker might need to expend their own Void Essence to resist the heat at this point.

In such an environment, the result of being financially imbalanced would be akin to a chicken roasting over a fire, cooked until nothing remains.

Up ahead, a massive mountain peak came into view.

Under Liu Xuanming’s guidance, an ancient and rustic structure gradually appeared.

The building complex was exceptionally vast, resembling a township in size at first glance.

And at this time, two guards were stationed outside the township.

These guards were all at the Void Shattering Realm, yet they seemed adapted to the scorching environment here, not appearing discomforted at all.

Those brought into the Forbidden Area from the Ancient Battlefield relics developed a constitution adapted to the Forbidden Area.

Thus, they lived far better here than the cultivators who just arrived.

The two guards seemed to have noticed the approaching group, their eyes filled with vigilance as they looked ahead.

When they saw Liu Xuanming leading a group of people dressed in black approaching, the two guards exchanged glances.

The guard on the left stepped forward, blocking their path, and asked.

"Gentlemen, are you from the Evil Extermination Bureau?"

Liu Xuanming nodded slightly, then tossed over his Forbidden Land Envoy token from his waist.

The guard frantically caught it, carefully inspecting it before respectfully handing it back with both hands.

"Gentlemen, please enter, the Clan Leader has been waiting for a long time."

Anyone who came to the Forbidden Area, even if they originally belonged to different forces from the Ancient Battlefield relic, learned to band together upon arrival.

So they formed a faction of their own.

Even if they didn’t share the same surnames, they addressed themselves as a family force.

Humans acted this way, and so did the Demon Pseudo-Gods.

Their leader is referred to as the Clan Leader.

Here, if you don’t set aside old grudges and merge into one unit, you’ll eventually be destroyed by hostile forces, including terrifying indigenous existences in the Forbidden Area.

Therefore, banding together became the only way to survive here.

Liu Xuanming didn’t waste words, taking back the token and leading everyone into the gigantic township.

Inside the township, various stalls were set up.

These stalls displayed an assortment of miscellanea, all specialties from the Forbidden Land of Extreme Heat.

It had evidently evolved into a small human settlement, capable of being entirely self-sufficient.

If it weren’t for the hidden dangers lurking in the shadows, they probably could have thrived here for countless generations without leaving.

The stallholders around were all cultivators, with at least the Void Shattering Realm cultivation.

Occasionally, there were one or two Element Transformation Realm cultivators, which already counted as exceptionally high cultivation here.

Upon seeing Qin An and the others in black robes, they all recognized the identities of the newcomers.

With just a glance, they turned their gazes elsewhere, pretending not to have seen anything.
