Three days later, Sunset Mountain.

The vehicle bumped violently on the rugged road.

The prisoners being escorted couldn't see the outside from the sealed, iron-like compartment of the car.

Yang Fei sat cross-legged; even in such a harsh environment, he persisted in cultivating Phoenix Extreme.

In the cultivation of the Nine Extremes, the higher you go, the harder it becomes to break through.

However, during these days of harsh training, the Spiritual Origin Qi inside Yang Fei's body had reached a breakthrough point.

As for Phoenix Extreme's Third Layer, Yang Fei could faintly sense the threshold.

The other Four Great Prison Kings were also sitting cross-legged, meditating with closed eyes like Yang Fei.

No matter how bumpy the ride was, everyone remained motionless as if nailed down.

It had been exactly three days since departing from Doomsday Prison.

The strongmen who signed up for the mission to find the Blood Dragon Stone spent these three days in darkness, shut inside like iron boxes.

Yang Fei completed a circulation and opened his eyes.

He felt the mountain increasingly stretch upward and couldn't help but ask.

"Are we almost at Sunset Mountain?"

King Doer sat right opposite Yang Fei.

He heard Yang Fei speak and opened his eyes, nodding.

"Based on the time calculation, we should be nearing Sunset Mountain."

Yang Fei grew curious: "What kind of place is Sunset Mountain?"

"I feel the mountain's slope increasingly pushing upward; I'm almost unable to sit still."

King Doer let out a long sigh, his expression somewhat desolate.

"If it's a place for prosperity, would they send us up here?"

He said this, looking at Yang Fei with a smile.

"Do you feel like it's getting hotter?"

Yang Fei's Martial Arts Realm had already reached a level that neither heat nor cold fazed him.

Upon King Doer's reminder, he suddenly realized.

The surrounding temperature wasn't just high—it was extraordinarily high.

The iron plate beneath Yang Fei's seat grew increasingly hot, burning his skin painfully.

Yang Fei's Spiritual Origin Qi automatically initiated defense, which is why he hadn't noticed immediately.

He suddenly understood King Doer's meaning and was startled: "Is this place perhaps a Volcanic Area?"

King Doer nodded and let out a long sigh.

Ximen opened one eye and said coldly.

"Sunset Mountain is a group of volcanoes; the underground magma isn't dormant and could erupt at any time."

"Our mission is to find the Blood Dragon Stone in the magma that hasn't erupted yet."

Yang Fei took a deep breath and cursed under his breath.

"No wonder these bastards sent us to look."

"Ordinary people couldn't get close underground, and even Spirit Martial Strongmen couldn't last long."

The hideous Kas looked at Yang Fei with a mocking glint on his face, adding a touch of ridicule.

"Brother, I greatly admire your Martial Arts Skills."

"But your heart is a bit too naive."

He said this, looking at the others.

"Chu Yi is courteous to us. On normal occasions, the treatment is quite favorable."

"But don't forget, we're prisoners."

"His preferential treatment is merely for us to complete these missions; we should be cognizant of this."

The people were all Spirit Martial Strongmen, known figures in Doomsday Prison.

Upon hearing Kas's words, everyone felt a bit awkward.

Yang Fei chuckled, finding Kas rather interesting.

The Four Great Prison Kings had high status in Doomsday Prison, their identity unlike ordinary prisoners.

Over time, everyone inevitably developed a sense of complacency.

Yet Kas spoke without reservation, bluntly highlighting the crux of the matter.

Lamplin sighed.

"Who says otherwise? Otherwise, why would we want to escape..."

Lamplin said this, seeing King's face change as he made a gesture to stop him.

Lamplin understood King's intent and stopped speaking in time.

King released Spiritual Power, sealing the entire compartment, then gestured for Lamplin to speak.

However, this made Lamplin lose interest in speaking.

He tiredly shook his head.

"Everyone, be careful; Mr. X could appear at any time."

Yang Fei changed the topic.

"So, our plan is to ambush Mr. X underground at Sunset Mountain?"

King nodded.

"Sunset Mountain's underground holds strong Fire Elements, while other Heaven and Earth Vital Energy are highly scarce."

"Acting down there, your Strange Fire can unleash its greatest power, coupled with our assistance, we believe we can kill Mr. X."

Yang Fei nodded: "But how are you sure Mr. X will definitely appear."

Yang Fei's question made everyone smile.

Ximen coldly replied: "Who in Doomsday Prison can resist when we join forces?"

"Even if Chu Yi comes, he can't stop us."

At this, Ximen clenched his teeth, biting into his lip.

"However, there's only one person; if he's present, we can't defeat him, nor can we escape—we can only comply."

By now, Yang Fei understood.

"So, as long as we step outside Doomsday Prison, Mr. X will certainly take action, right?"

Lamplin sneered: "Indeed!"

"So as we delve into Sunset Mountain underground, he will surely appear, and only he can control us."

King let out a sigh, his expression somewhat unnatural.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. We're almost at Sunset Mountain; who knows where this guy might be hiding?"

Everyone agreed, King withdrawn his Spiritual Power, leaving everyone speechless.

Yang Fei observed the Four Great Prison Kings, curious about their enemy-like stance.

He still wondered who this so-called Mr. X was.

He could defeat all Four Great Prison Kings single-handedly.

The vehicle continued for another three hours; the terrain rose increasingly high before ultimately stopping.

Clang!

With the sound of metal clashing, the heavy alloy door was opened from outside.

A surge of scorching heat rushed in, the dazzling light made Yang Fei squint.

Chu Yi's handsome yet pale face appeared at the car door.

He smiled, making a welcoming gesture.

"Gentlemen, thank you for your hard journey. We've arrived at Sunset Mountain."

With Chu Yi's invitation, the Four Great Prison Kings and Yang Fei got off the vehicle.

Yang Fei glanced around the surroundings and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

It was a stretch of continuous peaks, towering high, distant and near hills all painted in scarlet.

A hundred kilometers away, an active volcano was erupting.

Rolling mushroom clouds soared into the sky, the striking red light illuminating half the sky.

Even from this distance, Yang Fei could feel the scorching heat waves rushing forth.

In the further expanse, the eye sees nothing but burning peaks.

On the mountains, clusters of flames seemed like lotus blossoms in full bloom.

Sky connects to mountains, mountains connect to sky, in the sky gleams brilliant red light.

On the mountains, fierce fires burn as though igniting the heavens.

Yang Fei finally understood why this place was called Sunset Mountain.

This series of active volcanoes had turned it into a sea of fire.

The temperature was extraordinarily high; ordinary people couldn't survive here.

However, what Yang Fei sensed wasn't just the heat; it was something else entirely.
