Super Combat Soldier

Chapter 2366: Chapter 2363: [Who Has Arrived?]

The bottom of the Fire Well!

It seemed that every inch of it leaked mystery, every inch reeked of the unbelievable!

After Ye Tianchen reached the bottom of this Fire Well, countless questions flared up in his heart. But it wasn’t without gains either—now he could almost be certain that Flame Valley and that Qilin Little Prince were all from the Immortal Domain, all fallen down from the Immortal Domain. Only, why would the Immortal Domain fall and drop them down here? That was unknown and still needed to be explored!

What exactly lay in the depths of Flame Valley? Was it the secret behind Flame Valley’s eternal burning, or was it that in the deepest part of Flame Valley, there might really be something like an Immortal Artifact?

Anyway, whether out of curiosity or for the sake of his future Martial Arts path, Ye Tianchen had already made up his mind to gamble, already prepared himself for a nine-deaths-one-life venture!

Only, after Ye Tianchen found a cave entrance, what he never expected was that what looked like a ”bronze door” was actually not forged from bronze, but from some material that combined hardness and softness. As for exactly what kind of material it was, Ye Tianchen still had no way of knowing!

Relying on his overwhelming strength and absolute will, Ye Tianchen wielded the Taie Sword and the Xuanyuan Sword, shattering two bronze doors in succession. Yet a third bronze door appeared. What was going on? Could it be that in this mysterious passage—this passage leading to who knew where—there were bronze doors everywhere?

Ye Tianchen really was somewhat puzzled and also a bit depressed. However, when he walked up to the third bronze door with the two Divine Swords in hand, a burst of firelight suddenly shot out—these were words left behind by the Fire God in his youth. The general meaning was to warn the descendants of the Fire Clan that they must never shatter this bronze door, must absolutely not enter the depths of Flame Valley!

This made Ye Tianchen even more confused. That Fire God as a youth was also a heaven’s favored son, definitely not a coward afraid of death. But then why would he leave such words to warn his own descendants? Could it be that in the depths of Flame Valley, there was something completely beyond everyone’s expectations, something living there that no one could possibly contend against?

Thinking of this, Ye Tianchen gripped the two Divine Swords in his hands even tighter. The Divine Radiance of both swords surged out in an instant. In this moment, Ye Tianchen was incomparably serious and solemn, because he had a certain feeling, a certain intuition—that once the two Ancient Divine Swords in his hands shattered this third bronze door, he would see everything behind it, would glimpse a world different from the one he knew. Then, when this third bronze door was smashed apart, what would Ye Tianchen see? What would he encounter? In the very deepest part of Flame Valley, what exactly existed?

”What in the world is behind this bronze door? After I smash this door, what will I see? What will I go up against? It’s time to find out!” Ye Tianchen thought to himself, as Martial Arts True Qi flooded through his entire body. In that instant, he unleashed every bit of his strength!

Boom!

A thunderous crash, almost like heaven and earth were being overturned. The entire Flame Valley suddenly erupted with several jets of fire, as if the whole valley had been blasted open!

”Damn it, what the hell is going on? Don’t tell me that brat Ye Tianchen has stirred up some huge commotion again?” Little Zhu Yan couldn’t help but curse.

”Yeah, that boom was way too loud; it feels like Flame Valley is about to be flipped over!” The God Beating Bowl also couldn’t help but ask.

”Something’s off. You two walking disasters, carefully sense it. The power behind that crash isn’t coming from inside Flame Valley, but from its outer rim. Someone is bombarding Flame Valley from the outside!” Hu Gao frowned and said.

After hearing Hu Gao’s words, Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, those two pests, also carefully probed with their senses. When they felt the anomaly, both of them were startled. They truly hadn’t expected that such a massive disturbance wasn’t coming from within Flame Valley, which meant it wasn’t caused by that guy Ye Tianchen at all. Instead, it seemed that someone was launching an assault from the outside perimeter of Flame Valley!

It was just that, at first, Little Zhu Yan and the God Beating Bowl, these two troublemakers, had viewed this huge commotion with a preconceived notion, immediately assuming it was Ye Tianchen’s doing. After all, Ye Tianchen was still in the second-layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley; if anyone could cause such a big uproar, who else could it be but him?

”What? There’s actually someone bold enough to bombard the outer rim of Flame Valley—does this guy have a death wish?” Little Zhu Yan couldn’t help but ask in shock.

”Mm, anyone daring to make a move right at Flame Valley is definitely not simple!” The God Beating Bowl nodded and said.

”Who could it be? To directly strike at Flame Valley—just what are they after?” Hu Gao asked, frowning as well.

At this moment, beneath the Fire Well within the second layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley, Ye Tianchen was just about to swing the two Divine Swords in his hands and shatter the third bronze door, to see what exactly lay behind it, and whether he could, by probing further, uncover the secret of Flame Valley. But the sudden tremor just now startled even Ye Tianchen. One had to know, Flame Valley was a forbidden zone—no one had ever dared to launch such reckless attacks against it. Even if, within Flame Valley, there were no substantial living beings, Flame Valley was a wondrous place, a formidable place. Those wildly surging Fire Power strands would absolutely not allow anyone to act with impunity!

The Fire Power of Flame Valley had reached a level that could not be withstood. Any cultivator or living being who entered here would never dare treat it lightly. Even if some cultivator possessed tremendous strength and managed to enter the first layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley, even managed to step into the second layer Fire Domain, throughout history there had never been any concrete record of someone walking into the third layer Fire Domain, or into the depths of Flame Valley. That alone showed how fearsome this Fire Power was—no one dared provoke it lightly!

Yet now, there was actually someone on the outskirts of Flame Valley directly making a move against it. So who was this person? Who was this one with such heaven-defying audacity?

”Someone actually dares to strike at Flame Valley like this. Are they truly so reckless, or do they know that the Qilin Little Prince has already left?” Ye Tianchen halted the Divine Swords in his hands, confusion stirring in his heart as he thought.

However, this single massive tremor made the entire Flame Valley shudder, yet after a short while it calmed down again. After pondering for a moment, Ye Tianchen still fixed his gaze tightly on the bronze door before him. This was already the third bronze door. Though its material was the same as the previous two, Ye Tianchen could be sure that once this third bronze door was shattered, what appeared beyond would definitely be a different world, a scene absolutely unlike what emerged when the previous two doors were broken. Because here, he had a different feeling—here he sensed the characters left behind by the young Fire God!

”Once I break this bronze door, I’ll be able to see a different world. This is something I must do. What exactly lies behind the bronze door? What kind of existence is hidden in the depths of Flame Valley? The answer will be revealed now...” Power surged through Ye Tianchen’s entire body. In an instant he ignited every bit of his strength, without the slightest hesitation or doubt!

The reason Ye Tianchen burned all his strength was, first, because he wanted to shatter this third bronze door in a single instant; and second, because if, after the door was broken, what appeared was something different, then countless unknowns would exist. There might be a tremendous danger descending, a threat to his very life. Therefore Ye Tianchen could not afford not to be on guard—he had no choice but to be on guard!

Swish!

Swish!

Just as Ye Tianchen unleashed the radiance on the two Divine Swords, ready to cleave straight down toward the third bronze door, a voice entered his ears. It was a very unfamiliar voice, yet incomparably powerful and overbearing, arrogant and domineering to the extreme!

”Ye Tianchen, I’m waiting for you in the first layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley. If you don’t appear before me in the next instant, these three fellows will be annihilated in body and soul!”

Hearing this forceful, domineering voice, Ye Tianchen couldn’t help but knit his brows. Three fellows? Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl—weren’t those exactly three fellows? These three troublemakers couldn’t withstand the power of the second layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley, so they’d retreated back into the first layer Fire Domain. Besides them, who else would be in the first layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley?

Ye Tianchen glanced once toward the outside of the Fire Well, then looked again at this third bronze door. He was perhaps only one step away from unraveling the secret of Flame Valley. Was he really going to give up just like that?

At this moment!

Within the first layer Fire Domain of Flame Valley, Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl—these three troublemakers—were all bound together by a single rope. This rope was extremely peculiar, golden in color. No runes could be seen on its surface, and its thickness was only about that of a little finger. Yet it was precisely this rope that looked simple and ordinary which had actually trussed up Hu Gao, Little Zhu Yan, and the God Beating Bowl. One had to know, although the strength of these three troublemakers could not currently compare to Ye Tianchen’s, their potential was not to be underestimated. Within the Martial Arts World, they could be counted as experts!

But now, when these three troublemakers practically had no strength to fight back, they were bound by such a rope. It was truly surprising.

”Damn it, what kind of rope is this, to be this solid?” Hu Gao struggled, yet simply couldn’t snap the rope!

”This isn’t an ordinary rope. If we want to break free, we’ll have to defeat the one who cast the spell with it.” Little Zhu Yan said, frowning.

”Shaking Gold Rope. Though this isn’t the authentic Shaking Gold Rope, it’s still a high-grade imitation Treasure.” The God Beating Bowl said, his brows tightly furrowed.
