….
Yang Wei’s face was aghast; the sinister black flames devoured everything in sight, and looking forward, there was nothing left.

Flowers, grass, trees, insects, fish, birds, and beasts all turned to ashes and merged into the darkness.

At that moment, waves of fire surged, turning into a towering black beast that charged straight towards the direction of the camp.

“What are you waiting for, run for it!”

“Run fast, we can’t stand against this thing!”

“shit, Wang Hu was actually telling the truth, where on earth did this fire come from!”

“Don’t talk, just run!”

A horde of cultivators scrambled on all fours, fleeing madly.

The scorching breath came upon them, and there was a faint burning sensation on their bodies.

Yang Wei was dumbfounded inside. Who had he offended, and how did he suddenly encounter such a disaster?

It must have been that Wang Hu who led it over; there was no doubt about it.

“shit, I’m going to make you pay dearly for this!”

But before he could think further, the sky-engulfing flames swept over and completely engulfed the entire camp.

In just an instant, all the cultivators turned to ashes.

[Current Spread Range: Two meters.]

[Current Spread Range: Three meters.]

[Current Spread Range: Five meters.]

[…]

The System’s numbers were skyrocketing, and Hellfire was growing at a considerable speed. After devouring the camp, its initial range had already grown to five meters.

Li Xiaobai’s face was filled with joy; indeed, free-ranging was the most effective way to increase the power of Hellfire.

Afar, atop a hill, Wang Hu said to the deputy camp leader Lu She, “Deputy leader, do I still need to explain now?”

Lu She swallowed hard, “No… no need, I understand now, I owe you my life.”

The other cultivators looked serious and said in unison, “Good brother, that’s the spirit, no need for thanks for such a great favor!”

“Now that you understand, let’s go see the young lady.”

Wang Hu was smugly satisfied; the feeling of being recognized and followed by others was pleasant. Although it was by leveraging the influence of a powerful figure, he had still enjoyed it.

Several minutes later.

The camp was submerged in darkness, and Li Xiaobai, along with a company of people, slowly walked into the midst of the battlefield.

“Boss, the battlefield where Flesh Mountain is located is just ahead.”

Yang Huan promptly reminded him.

“Hmm, lead the way ahead.”

Li Xiaobai nodded and said indifferently.

“Yes!”

The group dared not delay, immediately leading the way. Behind them, the cultivators who had arrived later, like Lu She, were trembling with fear. They had never seen such a powerful cultivator, nor such eerie flames. These black flames seemed capable of continually spreading and burning on.

It was as though as long as there was a carrier, they would never extinguish.

The people proceeded with extreme caution, more afraid of being contaminated by this bizarre black flame than of Flesh Mountain itself.

[Attribute Points +10…]

[Attribute Points +20…]

The numerical values on the System panel began to increment slowly, Li Xiaobai knew that he had stepped onto the battlefield and come into contact with the Flesh Mountain.

Although the added Attribute Points were significantly stronger than those on the periphery, the strength of this Flesh Mountain was still pretty shoddy.

He silently lit a Huazi and, with a puff of smoky haze, the pungent smell around him diminished considerably.

The scene before him was somewhat bloody, with not only chunks of flesh emitting crimson auras but also the corpses of many cultivators who had died within the illusions of the Flesh Mountain.

Li Xiaobai saw one of the Flesh Mountains writhing atop the corpse of a human race cultivator. The cultivator’s body decayed and corroded at a visible rate, turning into a skeleton.

At the same time, the Flesh Mountain’s figure suddenly enlarged, with clumps of sticky flesh bulging out to form an even larger Flesh Mountain.

The sight was somewhat nauseating. Li Xiaobai couldn’t bear to look directly at it and casually pointed at the Flesh Mountain, black flames surged and immediately turned it into a pile of ashes.

Seeing this, everyone’s respect grew even deeper.

“Which War Zone are we in right now?”

Li Xiaobai asked Yang Huan, who was beside him and had almost adapted to the characteristics of Hellfire, and had become quite bolder.

“Back to the boss, we’re just in a small War Zone. The strength of Flesh Mountains here is generally weak; only the real large-scale War Zones are numbered and ranked.”

“There are four major War Zones on our border, each guarded by masters of the Mahayana Realm. Those are the main forces opposing the Flesh Mountains.”

Yang Huan explained, glancing subtly at the Huazi in Li Xiaobai’s mouth.

She could smell the fragrance coming from the Huazi, which had cleared her Spiritual Platform and helped her thoughts become lucid, solving the difficulties she encountered during her Cultivation Technique practice, and deepening her understanding of her moves.

She was astoundingly shocked. What was this thing? Merely catching a whiff of it had led to such an epiphany.

She couldn’t help but take a few more deep breaths, a boss indeed; even a casual item from him was beyond her comprehension.

Li Xiaobai nodded, “I see, got it. You mentioned before, how many battlefields like this are nearby?”

Yang Huan respectfully replied, “Yes, there are a total of nine small battlefields nearby, all of which are separated from the inner core area and guarded by different factions.”

“Understood, then let’s move through these battlefields one by one.”

With a plan in mind, Li Xiaobai knew that the Flesh Mountains he encountered here were still weak, but they were plentiful and spread across a vast area. Allowing Hellfire to burn through them, the speed of leveling up would only increase.

“Yes, thank you, Your Honor!”

Yang Huan was elated. If the boss would clear all the nearby Flesh Mountains, the pressure on the border cultivators would decrease significantly. However, she knew they had to prepare beforehand and notify them quickly to avoid any cultivators being engulfed by the boss’s flames.

Many from the team quickly moved out to notify the various battlefields.

Of course, the notifications were only for the factions on good terms with them. As for deceitful scoundrels like Jing Kun, who sought to harm others for their own gain, it was better for them to just die.

Li Xiaobai knew what they were thinking and did not stop them. He silently walked through the battlefield, turning everything he passed into scorched earth. The black flames swept through, instantly engulfing the Flesh Mountains.

A wisp of blue smoke rose, and the Flesh Mountain vanished without a trace.

[Current Spread Range: Six meters.]

[Current Spread Range: Seven meters.]

[…]

[Current Spread Range: Ten meters.]

The harvest was quite good. The quality of the Flesh Mountains here wasn’t high, but they were abundant and provided a vast amount of advancement resources upon being devoured by Hellfire.

The initial spread range had now increased to ten meters, which was no longer negligible.

The cultivators stood in the open area, agape and astonished. Against these huge chunks of meat, they might exert all their efforts and still fail to destroy even one.

Now, these Flesh Mountains dissipated so effortlessly in the black flames, was this the might of the boss?

After walking through the battlefield several times to ensure no Flesh Mountain was missed, Li Xiaobai waved his hand grandly.

“Next battlefield, let’s go!”
