Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 132 Dark Underworld
Lan Tian and the others looked at the fire dragon ahead, completely losing all hope. If it discovered them, a single breath of fire would reduce them all to ashes, leaving not even bones behind!

At this moment, Lan Tian's mind raced, searching for a way to deal with this behemoth. Although he was also a fire-attribute user, he had just witnessed the power of the fire dragon, and it was far inferior to Lan Tian's.

What to do? Lan Tian quickly racked his brains for a solution. This fire dragon might be the guardian of this place; it must have a mission here. He wondered what he could use to subdue this monster. It must be incredibly intelligent and able to communicate with them. He decided to see what it needed and if they could escape this calamity.

The hell rhinoceros fled in panic and disappeared in an instant, not daring to delay and quickly escaping from this place to get away from the fire dragon.

Just when everyone thought the fire dragon was about to leave and that they were safe, it stopped right in front of them, hovering motionless in the air, watching them intently.

"Get down here, all of you! What are you doing here?" The fire dragon's voice boomed, directly reaching everyone's brains. It sensed Lan Tian and the others' presence without even looking.

Everyone was completely dumbfounded! It knew we were there even though it hadn't seen us. This fire dragon's cultivation level was incredibly high; Lan Tian couldn't sense any fluctuations in its energy level at all. It truly possessed profound power. Were we all doomed? Were we going to die here?

Without thinking twice, Lan Tian was the first to jump out and land steadily in front of the fire dragon. It didn't matter; at worst, he would die. Even if he couldn't win, he wanted to die knowing why!
"We are from the Luo Yi Empire, and we have come to the Holy Mountain to compete for ownership. May I ask who you are, senior?" Lan Tian said.

"Hahaha, it's you guys again! The rules set by your ancestors haven't been abolished yet, what a joke!" The fire dragon seemed to know this, even its ancestors, so it must have been here for a very, very long time!
"Senior, we apologize for disturbing you and hope you can forgive us," Lan Tian said repeatedly. It would be best if they could leave safely. It seemed that this senior fire dragon was not an unreasonable person and should be very familiar with this place.

"Well, your affairs are none of my business. You should all leave as soon as possible and not bother me." With that, it flapped its wings and flew off in another direction, disappearing into the night.

Sigh! We escaped this calamity so easily. It turns out that this senior fire dragon knew everything here. It didn't want to interfere with these human competitions. It was here at least earlier than our ancestors. Next time, Lan Tian will definitely ask this senior for some information about this place.

Everyone is gathered together, and it's completely safe now! At least there won't be any more monster attacks. Blue Sky chooses a direction, and everyone continues to move forward.

And so, they traveled for an unknown amount of time, distance, or destination. They continued their journey daily, and thanks to the appearance of the fire dragon, Lan Tian and his companions encountered no more monsters and traveled safely.

I don't know how long we've been here. Every day is night, we never see the sunlight, and everyone is lost. It's like a schizophrenia-like state with no end in sight. How can we ever leave this place?!

Just when everyone was about to collapse in despair, they spotted a light ahead. It was right there, getting closer and closer—a gleaming golden lighthouse, a towering stone pillar, its entire body radiating golden light, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime. Everyone was overjoyed; finally, they saw hope! This must be the way out of here. This lighthouse must be the exit, a portal from here.

Upon closer inspection, everyone could see that it was indeed a teleportation array, the only exit from here. Inscriptions were written on it, describing everything about this place.

It turns out that during each battle at the Holy Mountain, those who entered were teleported to different places. There are five different realms here, each with a guardian. This is the underground world—the Dark Underworld—and its guardian is the Fire Dragon. It's the same flying dragon you all saw before, the Fire Dragon.

The other four realms are the Black Sea of ​​Death, the Mysterious Forest, the Ice Crystal Snow Kingdom, and the Silent Desert. Each realm has a guardian, and each pair of competitors must find a teleportation tower within a certain time. Once the time is up, they will be teleported to the arena for the final battle. The victor will seize the opponent's key and combine the two, thus gaining control of the region's resources and access. Ultimately, they will obtain the scepter of final ownership of the Holy Mountain.

There is a switch on it. Once both sides touch the switch, they will be teleported to the final competition arena. However, both sides will suffer injuries or deaths during this process, which will depend on their respective abilities and luck!

Lan Tian carefully read the instructions several times. This was very important. Once he went out, he might encounter the other side, which could be a life-or-death battle. There was no room for regret, so he had to be meticulous and cautious.

"Everyone, get yourselves into the best possible condition so that if we encounter the Asura Empire, we can fight them and maximize our chances of victory," Lan Tian said to everyone. Following this, everyone engaged in self-cultivation and adjustments, striving to improve themselves in all aspects to their optimal state.

After everyone had adjusted, Lantian pressed the teleportation switch, and everyone entered a state of combat readiness, forming a battle circle facing outwards.

"Boom."

The stone pillars below unfolded into a circular formation, revealing a teleportation array. Lan Tian led everyone onto the array, awaiting their teleportation. The battle against the enemy was about to begin!

A mysterious energy fluctuation, shimmering with golden light, and everyone vanished instantly, teleported away and disappeared. The underworld—the Dark Netherworld—returned to its original state, once again a place of darkness and death.

When everyone reappeared, they had arrived at a huge arena. This place was another world from the underground world, filled with spiritual energy and boundless mysterious power. This environment was the best place for cultivation and the best place to improve one's cultivation level!
Blue Sky sensed the little cutie's unusual activity; it seemed to be rapidly absorbing and accumulating energy here. The energy of Sky City was growing at an incredible pace, recovering to its original state. The energy fluctuations here were unlike anything Blue Sky had ever seen before, far deeper and more concentrated than the energy of Sky City. This spiritual power was incomparable to that of Sky City. Therefore, this was truly the best place for cultivation!
No wonder both countries are vying for control of this place. In such an environment, cultivation levels will increase at an astounding pace, and the training of talent will be shortened dramatically, reaching unimaginable heights. This is beyond doubt!
