The streets of the Underworld Royal City were filled with undead of all shapes and sizes. They were all looking at the red sky in the west, their faces filled with panic and fear. They did not even notice that the Underworld King had arrived by their side.
"Underworld King, what's with the 'Underworld Volcano' that you mentioned?" Ling Chen asked as he looked at the sky in the west. When he had first arrived at the Underworld Royal City, he had been curious about the dark red sky in the west. As he had rushed from the east of the Underworld to the Underworld Royal City, the sky had always been dark, and the color of the sky in the west of the Underworld Royal City was extremely strange and abnormal. Moreover, the temperature in the Underworld Royal City was evidently higher than the other places in the Underworld. The reason for this was most likely related to the red sky in the west. However, undead were afraid of fire, so how could there be such a hot place near the Underworld Royal City?
At this moment, the sky in the west was no longer dark red. Instead, it was an astonishing crimson red, as if it was burning. If one looked closely, they would find that there was a pillar of fire in the distance that could be seen from here. If one looked closely, they would find that the pillar of fire was like a giant dragon soaring into the sky, and the temperature in the Underworld Royal City seemed to be slightly higher than before.
"Ai, this is probably a tribulation of the Underworld. No matter how much we try to avoid it, it will eventually descend." The Underworld King stared at the west and let out a long sigh. He then began to narrate to Ling Chen, "About 10,000 years ago, about 400 kilometres west of the Underworld Royal City, there was an explosion that even the Underworld Royal City could hear. At the time, I personally went to take a look, and found that there was a large crater there. Within the crater, there was scorching lava that should not have appeared in the Underworld.
"Undead are afraid of fire, and because our Underworld Royal Clan has the power of death, we are also afraid of fire. Under the dense deathly aura of the Underworld, the appearance of lava is very abnormal. However, I did not pay too much attention to it at the time, thinking that the lava of unknown origin would gradually disappear as the heat dissipated. Adding on the fact that the high temperature there made me uncomfortable, I hurriedly ordered people to seal off the area to prevent undead from entering and being injured by the high temperature. After that, I did not pay any more attention to it.
"Who would've thought that the lava wouldn't disappear as I had expected. Instead, it was quietly expanding. Ten years later, a huge fire suddenly broke out. The temperature of the flames was terrifying, melting the surrounding land and mountains. Ever since the fire started, it has never been extinguished. Moreover, as it burned, it slowly spread. From the initial area of magma that was only a few dozen meters long, it has now become a sea of fire that is two hundred kilometers long. It has become the 'Hell Volcano' that we know today. "
"The undead have an innate fear of fire, and will suffer heavy injuries when burned by fire. Also, that fire wasn't an ordinary fire. It was terrifyingly hot, and even the eight Infernal Gods next to me couldn't approach it. That wasn't all, but these flames couldn't be extinguished. Over the years, I had used countless methods to suppress the spreading flames. I had even used the power of the Hell King to suppress them, but even if I could temporarily suppress them, they would quickly spread again after a short while. In the end, I had no choice but to let it be. Have one of the eight Underworld Gods stand guard near the Hell Volcano and pay attention to its movements every day. "
"All of the undead residents in the west have been evacuated. The Hell Volcano's eruption this time is more intense than any in the past 10,000 years … looks like the Underworld Royal City will have to move. " The Underworld King gave a long sigh as he said reluctantly, "Even though I'm the Underworld King and don't fear the most powerful beings in the world, I can't fight against this natural power. It's just that I still don't know what the source of these flames is. If it continues to grow, in less than 10,000 years, the entire Underworld … will no longer have a place for the Undead to live in. "
"It's that serious?" Ling Chen was quite surprised. He had never thought that the Forgotten Continent's mysterious and terrifying Underworld would hide such a massive danger.
The Underworld King waved his hand. "Forget it, this isn't something you should be concerned about. Go do what you need to do; we'll think of a way to deal with this. Unless it's absolutely necessary, the Underworld Royal City won't move … if it really comes to that, we'll just open up another Underworld! "
Seeing the Underworld King's frown, Ling Chen knew that 'opening up another Underworld' was not as easy as he made it sound.
At this moment, an uneasy feeling rose up in his heart, and Ling Chen asked, "Xi Ling, what is it?"
"Master, where are we right now?" Xi Ling's voice came from the Pet Space.
"We're at the Underworld Royal City; we haven't left the Underworld yet," Ling Chen replied.
"Underworld … then why …" Xi Ling's voice was filled with confusion.
"Did you discover something?" Ling Chen asked.
"… I can feel that there's a voice calling out to me in the west. My heart rate suddenly became faster, "Xi Ling said, feeling quite confused and uneasy.
"Hm?" Ling Chen looked at the crimson sky in the west, a look of surprise on his face as he suddenly asked, "Xi Ling, do you know how to extinguish the flames?"
"Extinguish the flames?"
"That is … for example, if there's a huge sea of fire, can you absorb the flames or use some other method to extinguish it?" Ling Chen said as he pondered.
"Of course I can. I'm best at controlling the fire element. Whether it's to ignite or extinguish the flames, I can do it, "Xi Ling replied confidently.
"Alright …" Ling Chen nodded slowly. "Then let's go to the west and see if we can find the person calling out to Xi Ling."
After making up his mind, Ling Chen said to the Underworld King, "Underworld King, why don't you let me go to the Underworld Volcano to take a look? Maybe I can find the source of its appearance?"
"You?" The Underworld King looked at him and waved his hand. "No! You definitely can't go there! You're underestimating the Underworld Volcano. The fire there isn't any ordinary fire; it can even melt the earth and mountains. Even I don't dare to get too close to it. Are you trying to die if you go there? "
"You don't have to worry about this," Ling Chen patted his chest. "My body isn't afraid of fire. No fire can hurt me."
Ling Chen's words weren't false at all. Xi Ling, who had leveled up to the Mysterious God level, had given Ling Chen and all his other pets the nature-defying attribute of not being afraid of fire. This was because Xi Ling's body contained the flames of the Golden Crow, the Phoenix, and the Vermillion Bird. There was no fire in the world that could be compared to it. Under the protection of Xi Ling, there was no fire that could harm Ling Chen. However, when these words fell into the ears of the Underworld King, he was treated as arrogance and ignorance. He immediately scolded, "Bullsh * t! Do you think you're the ancient Phoenix and the Golden Crow? Not afraid of fire at all? Even those three women from the Moon Deities don't dare to say such big words. Don't think that you're invincible just because you killed Chi Xuan Wu Hen. That fire is something that even I, your father-in-law, don't dare to touch! If you go, you'll be burned to ashes in the blink of an eye! "
Ling Chen smirked and didn't explain anymore. He summoned Snow Cherry and rode on her, flying straight north. "Underworld King, wait for my good news … If things don't work out, I'll immediately leave. I won't harm your daughter."
"Hey! Where are you going? Damn, are you crazy?! Damn … you're really going! "
Snow Cherry flew too quickly, and in the blink of an eye, she turned into a white dot in the Underworld King's eyes. The Underworld King stomped his foot, and his beard stood up. "This brat is too lawless! En … but it's not bad that he has the heart. I didn't marry my daughter to him for nothing. "
… …
Ling Tian City.
All of the city gates were tightly shut, all of the teleportation channels were closed, and even the revival points had been forcefully closed. There was not a single person on the normally bustling streets of Ling Tian City, and it was as silent as a dead city.
The atmosphere in the Central Meeting Hall was incredibly heavy.
"Big miss Li, tell us honestly, what are the chances of us being able to defend this city?" Skyfall asked as he frowned. They were unable to participate in this battle, nor did they have the qualifications to do so. The only ones who could stop the Forgotten City's army were the Fairies. As for the Fairy Clan's power, he didn't have much understanding. However, from Yun Meng Xin and Li Xiao Xue's serious expressions, he could tell that the situation was not looking good.
"I don't have any confidence … I can only gamble," Li Xiao Xue slowly replied. Li Xiao Xue slowly replied, "The Fairy Clan has a Mysterious God expert like Patriarch Greenwood, 14 Heaven's End grade Fairies, and 103 Immortal grade Fairies. There are also nearly 900 Fairies that can fight, all of them are very strong." Speaking to there, Li Xiao Xue sighed, "In terms of the average strength of the Fairies and the Forgotten Continent's humans, the humans are far inferior to the Fairies. However, those who can follow the Forgotten Emperor into battle are all elites of the Forgotten City's army, and many of the higher-level experts will follow. There might even be Mysterious God grade experts. The comparison between human elites and Fairies who can fight is simply unfair. The difference in numbers is like the difference between heaven and earth.
"Our only hope is that the other side doesn't have any Mysterious God grade experts. If that's the case, with Chief Greenwood's overwhelming power, we'll be able to keep the battle under control, and with the Mountain Giant's help, we'll have a good chance of defending. However, if the other side also sends out Mysterious God grade experts to tie down Chief Greenwood … "
Li Xiao Xue didn't continue, but everyone understood what she was trying to say … if the other side also had Mysterious God grade experts, then it would be almost impossible to defend Ling Tian City.
However, even if they couldn't defend, they couldn't compromise with the Forgotten City. Even if they lost, they couldn't lose all of their dignity!
A hurried voice sounded out from Li Xiao Xue's communication device. She quickly glanced at it and frowned as she said seriously, "They're here."
1 minute later, everyone arrived at the western city gate, looking at the Forgotten City's army that was 10 kilometres away. The Forgotten Emperor had already guessed what Yun Meng Xin would say from the changes in Ling Tian City. The 100,000 soldiers were split into the left, right, and center, and they rushed towards the city gate. There were 30,000 people on each side, and they all wore different professions and levels.
