In the depths of the Black Flame Mountain Range.

　　An extremely enormous and majestic mountain stood in this place. The peak of the mountain was sunken in, forming a volcano like mouth. Searing heat rose from the mouth, making the surrounding area feel unbearably hot.

　　All of the trees within a several hundred mile radius of this mountain had already been burnt to ashes, turning the place into a glaringly barren land.

　　This mouth of this very mountain was the entrance to the essence flame vein.

　　Swis.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+

　　At this current moment, countless glowing figures were descending from the sky, landing around the mouth of the volcano. It was quite a grandiose scene.

　　When the gazes of these figures met, hostility would appear in their eyes. Once they entered the essence flame vein, anyone from another faction would be a compet.i.tor.

　　A surge of Genesis Qi descended from the sky at this moment, landing closest to the mouth of the volcano.

　　When the Genesis Qi scattered, a group led by elder Wu appeared.

　　As the Cangxuan Sect team revealed was revealed, the teams from Sacred Palace, Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace and North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall also quickly appeared near the mouth of the volcano.

　　Zhou Yuan swept a glance at the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace team, finding Zuoqiu Qingyu prettily standing among them. She quickly noticed his gaze, responding with a crafty wink.

　　It seemed that Zuoqiu Qingyu was also going into the essence flame vein.

　　Zhou Yuan replied with a small smile, before casting a glance towards the Sacred Palace group. They were also led by an old man who was clearly an elder of Sacred Palace. Behind him stood w.a.n.g Chi and Cao Jinzhu.

　　At their side was Yang Xuan, who was dressed completely in white.

　　When Zhou Yuan looked over, he realized that Yang Xuan was already looking at them. Their gazes met in the air as a faint smile appeared on Yang Xuan face. However, not a single ripple could be seen in his eyes, similar to the silent cruelness displayed by a predator that was hunting for its prey.

　　"Everyone shall we start the battle for the essence flame vein?" The elder from Sacred Palace smiled as he looked towards elder Wu and the other two elders from the overlord sects.

　　Elder Wu and the rest were expressionless as they nodded.

　　Upon seeing this, the Sacred Palace elder's gaze swept towards the many restlessly stirring factions present, before raising his hand and gently letting it fall.

　　"Everyone, whatever portion of the essence flame vein you obtain shall depend on your abilities."

　　"Let's get started."

　　Rumble!
