The Southern Desolate Continent, also known by the experts of the Three Thousand Great Worlds as the "Land of Extre South".
This continent experiences long days and short nights, with intense sunlight, dry climate, and scorching temperatures, while the common phenona of wind, frost, rain, and snow in other regions are rarely seen here.
The experts who have been born and raised in the Land of Extre South generally have bronze-colored skin due to the influence of the climate and environnt.
Legend has it that before the Ancient Era, the Land of Extre South had a pleasant climate, with four seasons like spring, akin to a paradise.
Later, a prolonged great war among the immortals, demons, and monsters swept the Three Thousand Great Worlds, with scattered Immortal Fires, Demon Fires, and Monster Fires throughout the worlds, with the most of them falling on the Extre South Continent.
Fortunately, under the suppression of the rules of heaven and earth in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, those powerful and extensive fires gradually degenerated and shrank, their power greatly diminishing over millennia, becoming the legendary Spiritual Fires sought by the world’s experts.
When the Spiritual Fire appeared, the land beca scorching red for hundreds of miles.
The reason the Land of Extre South is so hot is because this vast continent harbors many Spiritual Fires.
The cultivators of the Extre South are influenced by this, and most of them also practice Fire-based Techniques and Martial Arts.
Although Spiritual Fire possesses imnse destructive power, it is regarded as a heavenly blessing by the fire-based cultivators of the Extre South Continent.
Every fire-based cultivator dreams of devouring and subduing a kind of Spiritual Fire to enhance their own strength.
However, to devour and subdue Spiritual Fire without an Innate Fire Spirit Root, a cultivation level of strong aptitude or a robust physique, how could it be easy?
The Purple Fla Mountain Range is located in the eastern part of the Land of Extre South, stretching about three thousand miles, bordered by a hundred thousand miles of primordial forest to the north and a vast ocean to the south.
According to legend, millions of years ago, a cluster of purple Immortal Fire fell into the Purple Fla Mountain Range, scorching the original green mountains into a purple hue, from which the na "Purple Fla" was derived.
Where that cluster of purple Immortal Fire fell, the ground for miles around was lted, forming a hundred-mile-wide purple Magma Lake.
The Magma Lake remains perpetually boiling, bubbling and steaming, with purple smoke rising, and even birds dare not fly over its expanse.
The area within ten miles of the center of the Magma Lake is a forbidden zone for ordinary cultivators; only those with Innate Fire Spirit Roots or experts whose cultivation level is above the Thunder Tribulation Stage Five dare to enter, otherwise they cannot withstand the agony of being burned by the fierce flas.
On this day at dusk, two slender and graceful young won, with delicate and charming appearances, appeared in a dense forest of the Purple Fla Mountain.
The two won were sprinting in full force through the forest, pursuing a Two-Tailed Fire Leopard dozens of feet ahead.
The cultivation level of both won was at the Thunder Tribulation Stage Two, and that Two-Tailed Fire Leopard was also comparable to a human of the Thunder Tribulation Stage Two.
Logically, among humans and Spirit Beasts with the sa cultivation level, Spirit Beasts have an edge in combat strength, and if that Two-Tailed Fire Leopard turned to fight the two won, it might not necessarily lose.
But for so reason, that Two-Tailed Fire Leopard panicked under the won’s pursuit, fleeing with no intention of stopping.
"Xiao Lian, put in a bit more effort, we’re about to catch up!"
During the chase, the woman on the left suddenly spoke, her voice crisp like an oriole.
The woman had eyebrows as graceful as spring mountains, eyes filled with autumn water, a straight and elegant nose, lips like flowers, and her brows conveyed seven parts of charm with three parts of heroic spirit.
"Okay! Two-Tailed Fire Leopards are rarely seen, and its flesh is hugely beneficial for us fire-based cultivators. Dragon Maiden, once we slay that Two-Tailed Fire Leopard, shall we skin it, draw its tendons, and roast it for a al?"
The one called "Xiao Lian" giggled as she answered.
Xiao Lian and Dragon Maiden shared the sa graceful beauty, but with different temperants: Xiao Lian lacked the heroic flair and had more of the unique softness of a woman, speaking in a gentle and soft tone.
"We can’t eat it just yet!"
Dragon Maiden chuckled elegantly and said, "Once we capture it, we have to take it back to Luoxia Village and hand it over to the village chief. But don’t worry, Xiao Lian, we’ll definitely have a share of the Two-Tailed Fire Leopard’s at!"
Xiao Lian sighed bitterly, "Taking it back to Luoxia Village ans we’ll only get a little bit. There are hundreds of people in the village!"
Dragon Maiden said, "Then let’s try to catch as many Spirit Beasts as we can. Moreover, Huo Wu and the others should have hunted quite a few Spirit Beasts too. The gains from this mountain trip should last the villagers for a while."
"Ah! The Two-Tailed Fire Leopard has run further away again, let’s continue the chase!"
Xiao Lian saw the fleeing Two-Tailed Fire Leopard ahead suddenly speed up, widening the gap between it and the two won, and with a soft exclamation, left a lingering shadow behind as she continued the pursuit.
Dragon Maiden also exerted herself to speed up the chase.
Among the two won, Xiao Lian was actually Zhuge Lian.
Years ago, Dragon Maiden and Zhuge Lian ca from a Minor World, landing in a mountain forest in the Land of Extre South.
At that ti, both won had weak cultivation levels, wandering aimlessly in the forest, and ended up encountering a group of powerful Spirit Beasts. In panic, they fled continuously, coincidentally being rescued by passing villagers from Luoxia Village.
Luoxia Village is a small village situated on the edge of the Purple Fla Mountain Range, with about five hundred people. Almost all the adult villagers are Thunder Tribulation experts.
However, due to a lack of Cultivation Resources, the strongest in Luoxia Village, the current village chief, is only at the Thunder Tribulation Stage Four, making him the only expert in the village to step into the middle stage of the Thunder Tribulation Realm.
With their skills too weak and having nowhere to go, Dragon Maiden and Zhuge Lian temporarily settled in Luoxia Village.
No one expected that they would stay for several years, developing a deep affection for the villagers of Luoxia Village, and beca unwilling to leave.
Luoxia Village exists in a state of isolation. Villagers only leave the village to exchange Cultivation Resources, otherwise, they either stay in the village for focused cultivation or go into the mountains to hunt Spirit Beasts.
Although Dragon Maiden and Zhuge Lian’s cultivation levels were weak, they had Cultivation Techniques taught by Fang Bai at the Immortal Rank. In the Three Thousand Great Worlds, where Spiritual Energy is many tis denser than in the Minor World, their cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.
Within two years, the two won consecutively entered the Thunder Tribulation Realm, earning them the title of cultivation prodigies among the villagers.
Having advanced to the Thunder Tribulation Realm, Dragon Maiden and Zhuge Lian were qualified to join the villagers in the mountain to hunt Spirit Beasts.
During one hunting trip, while the two were jointly pursuing a Spirit Beast, they inadvertently discovered a Magma Lake deep within the Purple Fla Mountain. Since then, they’ve often trained in the area near the Magma Lake.
The Fire Spiritual Energy emitted by the Magma Lake is purer and denser than outside the mountains. By absorbing this Fire Spiritual Energy for training, the two won progressed to the Thunder Tribulation Stage Two over ti.
The two had shared the secret of the Magma Lake with the villagers of Luoxia Village, but none possessed their Innate Fire Spirit Roots, and thus dared not approach to cultivate.
As a result, the Magma Lake beca an exclusive area for the two won.
Today, after training near the Magma Lake, the two won discovered the Two-Tailed Fire Leopard, intending to capture and kill it before regrouping with the villagers from Luoxia Village and returning there.
