Chapter 2561: Bizarre Prayer
Due to being the master of the underworld, Zu An had a heightened sensitivity toward death, even though it hadn’t been established in this world yet.
The mountain was well-lit, but it was so quiet that it felt eerie under the darkness of the night.
The Goddess of Wu Mountain grimly warned, “Be careful.”
She commanded the cloud beneath them to accelerate. However, as they approached Genesis Mountain, a wave of heat surged at them. Even the cloud they were riding on started slowly dissipating.
Zu An frowned. It felt as if nothing ever good happened whenever he encountered such intense heat.
With a wave of her sleeves, the Goddess of Wu Mountain released water vapor, causing the cloud to become more condensed. “Genesis Mountain is a giant volcano. The shamans turned the volcano into a massive furnace that could be used to forge the strongest weapons in the world.” She gestured to the nearby mountains and continued, “The earth flame from the main peak is drawn to the surrounding 72 peaks to form smaller furnaces.”
By then, Zu An and the Mermaid Queen could already see Genesis Mountain’s main peak, which had a circular opening. A crimson light shone from the opening, dyeing the surrounding sky the color of blood. The other 72 peaks were positioned in a formation around the main peak. Zu An could sense light-blue ancient runes inscribed on the mountains. They resonated with Genesis Mountain’s main peak to form a massive formation that allowed earth flames to flow safely and smoothly.
There was a strong, stinging smell in the air—it was the smell of metal, precious material, and sulfur. Who knew how many overpowered weapons had been born here?
As they got closer, the Goddess of Wu Mountain was no longer able to maintain her cloud, so they had no choice but to stop on a nearby mountain peak.
