Fan Xuexuan didn't stop even after her failed attempt. She planned to keep going without rest as she was afraid that she would never be able to climb the tower. Although she managed to avoid injuries after Yi Tianyun saved her earlier, he wasn't able to save her this time as she wasn't that far up the chain.

"Need any help?" Yi Tianyun said as he walked over and extended his hand for Fan Xuexuan.

"No, thank you for your kindness, but I can do it myself! Besides, if you take another cultivator on your back, the chain would amplify its power, making it harder for the cultivators to climb!" Fan Xuexuan said with determination to climb the chain. She then climbed the tower once again without showing her face to Yi Tianyun.

"Are you not the descendant of Ancient Netherworld Divine King?" Yi Tianyun suddenly asked curiously. Fan Xuexuan was startled and jumped down the chain before standing in front of Yi Tianyun once again.

"Who are you?" Fan Xuexuan asked vigilantly as she didn't know where the man in front of her received that information. But Yi Tianyun immediately noticed that the woman definitely knew that she was a descendant of Ancient Netherworld Divine King!

He already knew that Fan Xuexuan wasn't Evil Spirit Race as he bought along the Iron Necklace with him, but it didn't glow red.

"I just took a guess there. This is after all, where Ancient Netherworld Divine Nation once stood. So, the descendant of Ancient Netherworld Divine King should he here of all places!" Yi Tianyun said casually. He couldn't reveal that he had Appraisal Eye as it was something that would break the order around the three realms.

"How is that possible! I am not the descendant of Ancient Netherworld Divine King! Stop spouting nonsense!" Fan Xuexuan said as she gritted her teeth in frustration.

"Well, it seems you have an innate ability to ignore those Netherworld's Fire. That alone was a good enough proof that Ancient Netherworld Divine King's blood runs through you." Yi Tianyun said casually.

"You don't know what you are talking about! I don't have time to deal with crazy people. I am going up now!" Fan Xuexuan said coldly as she climbed the chain once more.

"Wait, I heard that once you got into the tower you won't be able to get out again, is that true?" Yi Tianyun asked curiously.

"That is not true! Whoever saying it to you is a weakling! You can get out as long as you meet certain conditions!" Fan Xuexuan indifferently said as she continued making her way up. She didn't climb that fast, but she was definitely determined!

But, determination alone didn't seem to be enough as she lose her grip once more and immediately fall, but someone caught her mid-air before she hit the ground. "You again?" Fan Xuexuan said as she realised that it was the same young man that saved her earlier. "Let me go! If you continue keep this up, the Netherworld's Fire will freeze you!" she said worriedly. Sure enough, her warning became a reality as many Netherworld's Fire suddenly appeared before Yi Tianyun.

Under normal circumstances, Netherworld's Fire would only attack several times, but as Yi Tianyun was bringing an extra along the way, the Netherworld's Fire came out more frequently.

"It's fine, I will take you up there!" Yi TIanyun said indifferently. At the same time, the laughter of the cultivators down on the ground could be heard as they saw how silly it was to bring another person along the way. They were already prepared for the climb, but they thought that the climbing part had to be done alone!

They thought that it was impossible to climb the chain while carrying another person as the intensity of the Netherworld's Fire increased several times the usual. After all, people could resist some Netherworld's Fire if they had a strong fire, but no one could resist it in large amount!

Therefore, if they were frozen because they were carrying another cultivator, it would spell the doom for both of them as there was no way they would be able to survive the fall! There were a lot of ice shards around the chain and almost all of it came from the cultivator's body that broke apart as soon as they touched the ground!

"Stop! If you continue to go up with me on your back, we will die!" Fan Xuexuan said nervously.

"Just trust me, it is fine!" Yi Tianyun said with a smile on his face.

Yi Tianyun kept getting faster as the Netherworld's Fire did nothing to him. In fact, he was absorbing the Netherworld's Fire and turn them into mastery for himself! Soon enough, Yi Tianyun was already past the halfway mark for the chain and everyone was shocked by what they saw.

The fire didn't even slow Yi Tianyun down, and now, he was so close to reach the top of the chain!

"The chain will release Heavenly Yin Fire soon and they both will die!" A cultivator said as he looked up at Yi Tianyun and Fan Xuexuan. Many cultivator nodded their head as they all agreed with that statement. The Heavenly Yin Fire was hard to resist as it was, and now the Heavenly Yin Fire would be a lot stronger as it was for two people instead of one.

The scene that they had waited for finally showed itself as Heavenly Yin Fire burst out of the chain. "Be careful!" Fan Xuexuan shouted nervously. Yi Tianyun just smiled and kept climbing as Heavenly Yin Fire reached his foot, but it was quickly absorbed to his body!

'DING!'

'Successfully absorbed Heavenly Yin Fire!'

'Reward: 2.000 Heavenly Yin Fire mastery point.'

The so-called strongest fire was just a bunch of Mastery Point for Yi Tianyun!
