Chapter 1377 - 1375: Space Shatters! Fire Engulfs Mystic Iron Mountain!
"No... it's not... Divine Phoenix, I have to say, you're wrong here... How could you think of me like that? I... I..."
Lin Fan looked at the downcast, teary-eyed Divine Phoenix and became anxious.
He stammered as he tried to explain clearly, but the more anxious he got, the more he couldn't speak. The more he couldn't speak, the more downcast Divine Phoenix became.
It formed a vicious cycle!
"I... I just wanted to come in and see you, it wasn't to hide from any Netherworld Ghost Fire at all. Really! Believe me. If you don't believe me, I'll go out now. I'm not afraid of that Netherworld Ghost Fire one bit."
Seeing Divine Phoenix about to cry, Lin Fan was so anxious he almost wished to swear an oath by his life.
Divine Phoenix gently pulled Lin Fan. Even though she was sad, she wouldn't let Lin Fan go out to his death.
"Alright, I know."
"No... what do you mean you know... I really..."
"I was just teasing you."
The next second!
Divine Phoenix suddenly broke into laughter, wiping the tears from her face, laughing so hard she was bent over.
Lin Fan stood there dumbfounded, staring blankly at Divine Phoenix, who couldn't stop laughing, and rolled his eyes helplessly.
Just as they were joking around with each other.
Boom!
A loud noise came from the sky!
Then.
The entire Mystic Iron Mountain began to tremble, and the ground shook slightly as if a violent earthquake had occurred.
Divine Phoenix abruptly stopped laughing and looked up at the sky in panic.
She had stayed here for so long, but had never seen such a scene, as if the sky was about to collapse, truly frightening!
Her face turned deathly pale, without a trace of blood.
"Lin Fan, what's happening?"
Lin Fan frowned deeply, his expression becoming more serious.
He couldn't say what was happening, he could only shake his head gently.
After the loud noise, Mystic Iron Mountain returned to calm, and the trembling ground gradually stabilized.
Mystic Iron Mountain, compared to the outside world, is an independent space.
Logically, the changes outside should not have any impact on the inside of Mystic Iron Mountain.
Because these are completely two different spaces!
Even if Lin Fan shook Mystic Iron Mountain from the outside, the world inside wouldn't become chaotic.
But!
Now Mystic Iron Mountain has mutated!
The always stable Mystic Iron Mountain actually had such a violent tremor!
"Maybe something happened outside."
After a long time, Lin Fan spoke calmly, his tone becoming deep.
He couldn't help but worry about the situation outside.
After the Netherworld Ghost Fire started burning, he fled into Mystic Iron Mountain, having no clue what was happening outside.
And during the time he was hiding, he had been joking with Divine Phoenix, never considering what the outside situation might be, nor thinking of any strategies.
It seems he was careless.
This is no longer the Sumeru Continent, but the Five Elements Realm, a world he knows nothing about.
Anything could happen!
"But... how could the outside events affect the inside of Mystic Iron Mountain?"
"I don't know, maybe they broke the space barrier."
Of course.
This was just Lin Fan's conjecture.
It's like when he went from Divine Wind Continent to Sumeru Continent, and then from Sumeru Continent to Five Elements Realm.
He tore through one Void after another, breaking through the gaps and obstacles between two continents.
If he could tear the space from Sumeru Continent to Five Elements Realm.
Then theoretically he could also tear through the space between the real world and Mystic Iron Mountain, allowing anything to flood in, not just things permitted by Lin Fan.
Or put it this way.
Although Mystic Iron Mountain is now Lin Fan's personal possession.
Long before Lin Fan appeared, Mystic Iron Mountain had always existed, and at that time it belonged to no one, and no one owned it privately.
After Lin Fan became the owner of Mystic Iron Mountain, he established the conditions for entering it.
Which means when Mystic Iron Mountain was ownerless, anyone could break through the space barrier and enter, affecting the world of Mystic Iron Mountain.
If it could be broken then, it stands to reason it could still be broken now.
Lin Fan took a deep breath, realizing Mystic Iron Mountain isn't a place to escape the world – it still harbors dangers.
You can't just evade the outside world by hiding in Mystic Iron Mountain, thinking you could rest easy.
This kind of thinking is too dangerous!
Lin Fan and Divine Phoenix waited for a while, but there was no further anomaly in the sky.
The loud noise was just that one time, and then there was silence.
"Lin Fan, it's so hot," Divine Phoenix said suddenly, casually unbuttoning her coat.
Lin Fan stared, his eyes almost popping out, with nosebleed nearly trickling down.
Divine Phoenix's figure was just too good, her skin as white as jade making him gulp.
Then.
He also felt a bit hot, directly taking off his jacket.
Yet his eyes never stopped staring at Divine Phoenix, salivating.
Divine Phoenix unbuttoned one button, but found it didn't help much, still feeling unbearably hot, so she unbuttoned another, fanning herself with her hands to cool down.
However.
The more she fanned, the hotter she felt.
Before long, she was drenched in sweat, as if fished out of water, her clothes clinging to her skin, revealing a curvaceous figure.
"Lin Fan, don't you feel hot?" Divine Phoenix sensed something was off, speaking as she glanced back at Lin Fan, only to see him already shirtless yet still sweating heavily.
And his eyes were still staring fixedly at her, utterly transfixed.
"Hey!" Divine Phoenix called out helplessly, wondering how he had the mood to think of anything else at such a time.
Only then did Lin Fan come to his senses, wiping the saliva from the corner of his mouth. "What's wrong?"
"Don't you think it's a bit strange, the temperature in Mystic Iron Mountain seems to have increased. When I was here before, it didn't feel this hot. Now it's like being roasted on a fire rack, as if Mystic Iron Mountain is covered in lava."
Listening to Divine Phoenix, Lin Fan touched his own body. Only then did he realize his clothes were long gone, and he was covered in sweat, slippery.
His body shook, he was shocked!
"This is bad!"
"Hmm? What's bad?"
Divine Phoenix looked cluelessly at the shocked and astonished Lin Fan, not understanding what he meant.
Lin Fan suddenly looked up at the sky, seeing that dark, chaotic sky was faintly revealing a fiery red, hidden in that chaos, like flames flickering in the clouds.
Divine Phoenix hurriedly looked up at the sky, the peculiar sky appeared especially spectacular, she had never seen such a grand scene.
Except this grand scene harbored great danger.
"That's Netherworld Ghost Fire! The Netherworld Ghost Fire broke through the space barrier and burned its way to Mystic Iron Mountain!" Lin Fan said through gritted teeth, his face darkening, becoming very dignified and serious.
"What?!" Divine Phoenix was taken aback, quickly examining the fire-like sky.
Indeed!
That behind the clouds and chaos were the flickering flames!
The raging blaze burned in the sky, raising the entire Mystic Iron Mountain's temperature so high, making the two unbearably hot and drenched in sweat!
The two suddenly realized, the whole Mystic Iron Mountain seemed to be stained with a layer of red, extremely gruesome and terrifying!
