Primordial Era: The Great Serpent of Yunmeng

Chapter 71 The Perilous Situation of the Undying Volcano

While Yang Mei was still searching, Yuan Feng and Yuan Huang returned to the Undying Volcano.

Looking at the churning lava and spewing volcanic ash, the two men wore solemn expressions.

This is only the beginning of the area of ​​the immortal volcanoes; at a glance, there are hundreds of millions of such volcanoes.

"The activity of the immortal volcano this time is far greater than in the past. If it is not suppressed, the entire southern continent may be destroyed."

Yuan Feng's voice was heavy. These volcanoes were too active. In this one alone, he had already discovered many strange flames of heaven and earth.

And this is only on the edge of the immortal volcano, yet these things already exist. The center must have already given birth to the Southern Ming Fire.

"Phoenix, organize the clansmen to prepare to release the fire from the volcano. I'll go and investigate the central area first; I'm worried there might be some unusual activity there."

Yuanfeng began to assign tasks.

Yuan Huang had no objections, but was slightly worried about Yuan Feng's safety.

"Yes, you may go now, but be careful. The power of the Southern Ming Fire is no small matter, so do not be careless."

Yuan Huang made no attempt to conceal her concern. The center of the Undying Volcano was extremely dangerous, as it was a place where various kinds of spiritual fires and strange flames were constantly being nurtured.

Furthermore, the pervasive presence of earthly evil energy makes it difficult to extend one's spiritual senses, making it much harder to perceive danger in any given area.

Even though Yuan Feng knew the place very well and had a wealth of experience, she was always injured when she returned from each trip there.

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. We've been there so many times before, and nothing ever went wrong, right?"

Yuan Feng gently patted Yuan Huang's hands, offered her a word of comfort, and then flew towards the core without saying anything more.

After crossing the outer perimeter, Yuan Feng's flight speed slowed down considerably. Its poor eyesight caused it to constantly scan the ground, and its divine sense was almost useless here.

The surrounding volcanoes erupt from time to time, and the black clouds formed by volcanic ash make this land devoid of any life.

Those dark clouds can also shield a person's spiritual sense. If one's spiritual sense is exposed to them for a long time, there is even a risk of damage to one's spiritual sense.

Black flames would suddenly erupt from the cracks that covered the ground, burning and distorting the space itself.

No matter what angle you look from, you can always see volcanoes constantly erupting, carrying out large amounts of volcanic ash.

These volcanic ash particles carry the evil energy of the earth, which can erode a person's physical body and spirit. Due to the distortion of space, it is impossible to predict from which direction they will erupt or how much they will produce.

It took Yuan Feng tens of thousands of years to reach the core area of ​​the Undying Volcano.

The core area consists of only one volcano, and the surrounding area is a vast expanse of white land, but apart from the dry air and the smell of sulfur, there seems to be nothing special about it.

A phantom of a colorful phoenix hovered over the mountain, occasionally passing through the crater and entering the mountain itself. The phantom stretched its neck and cried out, its voice resounding silently in Yuan Feng's mind.

Yuan Feng immediately stopped, his figure flashed, the five elements flowed, and wherever he passed, the land was transformed from a blank wasteland into a place with a trace of life.

Some green shoots sprouted from the land that Yuanfeng had passed through, but withered and died in a short time, then burned and became part of the white land.

The phoenix phantom sensed Yuan Feng's arrival and affectionately landed on Yuan Feng's shoulder, gently pecking at Yuan Feng's earlobe with its beak, as if complaining that Yuan Feng hadn't come to see it for so long.

Yuan Feng ignored the phoenix phantom's movements, simply smiled, and then headed towards the crater.

The phantom noticed his movements and lost its playful mood. Its body shone brightly with spiritual light as it stared intently at the crater.

After the great calamity of the ferocious beasts, thanks to the surge in the Phoenix Clan's fortune, the power of the colorful phoenix phantom increased significantly, barely suppressing the central volcano and preventing it from erupting.

However, every few eons, the phoenix phantom's transformation ability reaches its limit, and the massive fire energy accumulated in the central volcano will eventually erupt.

However, under the suppression and management of the Phoenix Clan's fortune, its state has become much more stable, and the power it unleashes is more controllable.

But there are always exceptions; even an immortal volcano can be extremely restless and active at times.

During that period, millions of volcanoes erupted every day, and at its peak, half of the volcanoes within the entire extinct volcano area were erupting.

At that time, the sky over the southern continent was obscured by volcanic clouds, which could even spread and affect the eastern and southern parts of the wilderness.

The earth's evil energy can also be carried high into the sky by volcanic clouds during volcanic eruptions and randomly scattered across the earth.

The cries of agony from creatures across the continent never ceased; vast forests vanished, and lava flowed wantonly across the land, even surging into the sea.

Yuan Feng gathered her spiritual power in her eyes and looked down from the crater. All she could see was a dazzling red light, within which she could faintly see the flow of magma and countless divine flames colliding fiercely.

Each collision causes massive explosions, with magma surging like ordinary tides, occasionally unleashing towering waves of lava tens of thousands of feet high.

Every wave that appears will give birth to a strange fire, and every giant wave will cause the volcanic fire to boil.

Several kinds of divine fire appeared, including top-level divine fires in the world such as Nanming Li Fire, Samadhi True Fire, and Liuding Divine Fire.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Feng's expression changed drastically, and she asked:

"How long has this been going on? Why has the immortal volcano suddenly become so active?!"

Yuan Feng couldn't imagine what it would be like if these divine flames were to erupt along with a volcanic eruption; their current activity level almost surpassed that of the great disaster of the past.

Once it erupts, it will inevitably cause devastation to the entire southern continent, destroying the Phoenix Clan's years of cultivation and all their hard work.

He and Yuanhuang were born here, and the heavy responsibility that heaven and earth gave them was to protect the Undying Volcano. However, they never expected that the activity of the Undying Volcano would become more and more intense.

"Logically speaking, it should gradually calm down as we keep venting our anger."

"Since the great calamity of the ferocious beasts, how much fire energy did the Phoenix Clan release from it? And how many fire crystals did they take from it?"

The phoenix phantom buried its head in its feathers, unwilling to answer Yuan Feng's question.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Feng's face darkened completely, and she stared intently at the phoenix phantom formed by the Phoenix Clan's fortune.

But the phoenix phantom did not answer, and acted as if it had not sensed Yuan Feng's gaze. After a while, seeing that Yuan Feng had no intention of letting it go, its figure simply disappeared into the world.

At this moment, Yuan Feng felt an immense pressure rising from her heart, along with a deep sense of helplessness.

The ever-growing Phoenix Clan seems to be going against their wishes.

"It seems I need to return to the clan first to reorganize the current Phoenix Clan, and I also need to pay a visit to the Ancestral Dragon and the various Water Gods."

"The Undying Volcano is no longer a problem that the Phoenix Clan can solve alone; we need their help. But alas!"

Yuan Feng's voice was filled with helplessness and shame. As a primordial deity who held power, she now needed external help to solve her own problems.

This level of dereliction of duty far exceeds that of water gods like Zulong, since making a mistake and lacking ability are two different things.
