If the hilt of the ancient greenish-bronze sword could be described as mild, then the body of the sword, which was buried in the sun, could only be described as berserk!
In the world within the protective layer, the Sea of Fire was no longer red but black. The temperature of the black Sea of Fire was much higher than that of the sword handle. Wang Baole's expression changed when he sensed it slightly. According to his judgment, even if it was him … unless he relied on the Spirit Boat, he would not be able to last more than five minutes in the Sea of Fire.
"This is too terrifying!" Wang Baole sucked in a deep breath. He was very clear about the strength of his physical body. Therefore, as his heart trembled, he also noticed that the Sea of Fire didn't just exist on the ground. There was also a Sea of Fire in the sky!
Even though it wasn't as majestic as the Sea of Fire on the ground, the burning lava that flowed like a river in the sky still made Wang Baole's pupils contract. That was especially so when he looked around. Everywhere that was covered by the protective shield, the sky and the ground were filled with flames. It made one feel as if they had truly entered hell.
There was also a large amount of dust and debris. As soon as he entered the protective layer, Wang Baole saw a dilapidated pavilion the size of a small mountain in the distance. It was floating in the lava and crashed into an unknown statue fragment with a boom. The collision between the two caused an explosion and ripple in the surrounding sea of fire. This ripple seemed to shake the heavens and earth. Even though Wang Baole was a little far away, he could feel the heat waves in that instant, and the smell of burnt hair wafted from his hair.
This made Wang Baole retreat quickly in fear. He didn't move forward immediately. Instead, he stayed at the edge of the protective layer to get used to the temperature. At the same time, he observed his surroundings. Gradually, he saw not only the ruined pavilion, but also a large amount of rock fragments and even some corpses!
Most of these corpses were badly damaged. There were cultivators among them, as well as the so-called … Never-Ending Clan members that Wang Baole had seen in Spirit Breath Village.
Although he didn't go near them, he could tell that the corpses no longer had any storage treasures on them. There were also obvious signs that they had been searched. Clearly, many people from the Vast Expanse Dao Palace had come here to search over the years. Those who could come here were mostly people with high levels of cultivation, and they often traveled together.
After observing for about two hours, Wang Baole confirmed that his body had completely adapted to the temperature of the sword body area. Only then did he fully concentrate and slowly fly forward with extreme vigilance. All along the way, he avoided the lava river and wandered in some crevices. At the same time, he paid attention to the changes in his surroundings and looked for an identity token or storage treasure.
Time gradually passed, and soon, eight hours had passed. Wang Baole wasn't flying very fast. He was mainly observing and searching, so until now, he hadn't encountered any danger that was beyond his ability. And during these few hours of searching, he saw that in the sea of magma on the ground, there were mostly ruins of pavilions, statues, and rock fragments.
It was as if everything here had been destroyed in a catastrophe. Although the sea of magma had covered many traces of battle, there were still waves of aura that made Wang Baole's hair stand on end.
In particular, there were some places that didn't seem to be dangerous, and there weren't any lava rivers. However, Wang Baole saw with his own eyes that in these areas, a black line would appear in an instant. Once the black line appeared, it would tear the space apart, revealing a huge hole. Heat waves and storms would suddenly spread from within.
The storms were extremely strong. If he wasn't careful, he would be severely injured if he was caught in the storm. This made Wang Baole feel even more terrified as he took a deep breath.
In addition, as he carefully and continuously advanced, Wang Baole also saw mountain peaks in the sky. These mountain peaks were all floating in mid-air, and while they were crooked, some were inverted.
Some of the mountains were bare, while others were full of potholes, as if they had been bombarded by magical techniques. However, there were still some mountains that had some buildings on them. They seemed to be in good condition, but Wang Baole didn't dare to get close to them. That was because he was very far away, but he could sense that there were restrictions on them that made his heart pound.
These restrictions were so strong that Wang Baole pushed an ordinary mountain rock over to test them. He found that as soon as the rock touched the restrictions, it silently turned to ash.
This made Wang Baole's scalp go numb. He finally understood why the battle merit points for the identity token were so high. It was really difficult to obtain the identity token here, and luck played a large role.
However, this wasn't all that was terrifying about the sword body area. After muttering to himself, Wang Baole stayed here for a few more hours. Then, he saw a scene that made his heart tremble violently.
He saw with his own eyes that the area in front of him was originally just a sea of lava. However, in the next instant, an area of a thousand feet suddenly turned blurry due to some unknown force. In the next instant, the area changed, and a large piece of mountain rock appeared.
This change was irregular, but it wasn't random either. Wang Baole paid attention to it many times and finally confirmed two points. One was that the environment here wasn't the same. Sometimes, it would change automatically, as if it was teleporting.
The other point was that in addition to the irregular teleportation, the sea of fire here would sometimes collapse and sink on its own. Then, the sea of fire would inexplicably erupt like a volcano, and the buildings and debris that had originally sunk into the sea of fire would resurface.
Every time something like this happened, a large number of spatial rifts would appear in the vicinity. Sometimes, a scorching storm would even kick up, making the entire sword body area dangerous!
This made Wang Baole even more vigilant. He kept calling out to Little Missy, but when he didn't get a response even after a long time, he started to think about giving up. He thought about going back and finding a few more people to explore together. Therefore, he was just about to turn around and leave when suddenly … the sea of fire on his side erupted, sending a large amount of lava shooting out in all directions. Wang Baole dodged to the side, but just as he was about to circle around, an intense sense of danger rose up in Wang Baole's heart. His eyes flashed, and he suddenly lifted his right foot. Then, like a spinning top, he swept his leg behind him!
Amidst the loud boom, Wang Baole immediately saw a humanoid creature with flames all over its body roaring as it was kicked a few hundred feet away by Wang Baole.
"What the hell is that thing!?" Thought Wang Baole, his pupils constricting. He had used all the power he could muster just now, and yet, all he could do was cause the humanoid flame creature to fall back.
As Wang Baole's gaze swept across the humanoid fire creature, it opened its mouth wide, revealing rows of razor-sharp teeth. Its eyes were filled with viciousness and madness as it charged towards Wang Baole. As it neared, a scorching aura spread outwards, sweeping towards Wang Baole like a hurricane.
Wang Baole frowned. Although he didn't know what this thing was, he instinctively knew that he couldn't stay here for too long. Therefore, he performed an incantation gesture with his right hand, causing the tri-colored flying sword to fly out. As the humanoid flame creature neared, the flying sword pierced through its body and sliced it!
With a boom, the humanoid flame creature's body exploded. There was no blood or flesh inside. Instead, it turned into pieces of red stones that scattered in the sea of fire.
Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and didn't stop. With a flick of his body, he retraced his steps and sped away. Hours later, after encountering two similar attacks, he finally saw the protective layer from afar. He also saw the peace and gentleness on the other side of the protective layer.
However, just as he was about to speed up and dash out, Wang Baole's expression suddenly changed. He took out a jade slip from his storage bracelet. The jade slip was vibrating rapidly. It was the voice transmission device used by the Hundred Federation Seedlings.
In the group chat, there was a Hundred Federation Seedling from the Senate who was asking for help!
"Is there anyone in the sword? I'm trapped. Save me!"
The Hundred Federation Seedlings who had come to the Vast Expanse Dao Palace knew that they had to stick together. To a certain extent, they were very united. Therefore, when Wang Baole saw this message, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
There was a limit to the range of the jade slip's LAN. In theory, if everyone was in the same area, they would be able to see each other's messages. However, if they were out of the area, only those in the same area would be able to receive each other's messages.
For example, right now, the group chat was extremely quiet. Only the voice of the trapped Hundred Federation Seedling could be heard echoing in the group chat.
