One after another, huge fireballs fell from the sky, covering the sky and the earth.
Lava gushed out from the cracks in the ground, and thick smoke billowed.
The entire area was dark, and flames were everywhere. It was as if the end of the world had arrived. It was horrifying!
Many cultivators in the square had never participated in the Earth Board competition. It was their first time witnessing such a scene. Their faces were pale, and they felt like they were suffocating!
Although they had heard that the elimination round in the Ninth Heaven was extremely terrifying, no one had expected it to be this terrifying!
Even as bystanders, it was hard to imagine how much impact the cultivators in the middle of it would have to bear.
Feng Yin and Tai Hua also flew into the sky.
The black wind on Feng Yin's back kept colliding with the Heavenly Fire that was falling from the sky. Naturally, it slowed down.
Tai Hua flew in the sky, and Primordial Qi shot out from his fingertips into the dark clouds above his head to resist the impact of the Heavenly Fire.
Such a drastic change was not much of a threat to the two reincarnated Immortals, the top geniuses like Han the Iron and Yue Feng. It only slowed them down a little.
However, for most of the Earth Immortals, there was no place for them to hide in the lava and Heavenly Fire.
Many of the cultivators had been holding back at first, but they could not care less now. They took out their trump cards and barely held on.
So far, more than 10,000 Earth Immortals had died in the First Heaven, and the number was still rising!
"Look, Su Zimo is already in the top 10,000!"
"Hiss! He's so fast! "
Exclamations came from the crowd.
Unknowingly, the Rank Eight Earth Immortal, who was originally in the top 900,000, was now in the top 10,000!
Moreover, his ranking was still rising rapidly!
"Even such a strange phenomenon can't stop him?"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Zimo's speed did not decrease at all despite the lava and Heavenly Fire. He was still surpassing his opponents!
When the Heavenly Fire fell, he only used his bare hands and did not use any Immortal Skills or Divine Skills to shatter the Heavenly Fire!
Rank 5,000 …
Rank 3,000 …
Rank 1,000!
Not long after, Su Zimo's ranking had risen to the top 1,000!
In the world of the First Level of Heaven, the sea of fire was torrential and raging. The heavenly fire enveloped the world, but it was unable to stop his figure at all!
This time, the attention of most of the cultivators in the square fell on Su Zimo.
A question flashed through everyone's mind.
Could it be that this person could really catch up from behind and rush into the top 100?
Huala!
At this moment, the magma in the crevice suddenly boiled, forming a crimson wall of fire that blocked the path of the cultivators.
The magma in the fissure continued to condense and solidify.
In the blink of an eye, lava giants that were a thousand feet tall formed from the flames of the First Heaven, blocking the path of the cultivators!
"Roar!"
These Lava Giants let out a series of roars. Their eyes were red, and boiling lava flowed on their bodies. Their auras were scorching hot, and their might was terrifying!
Bang!
One of the Lava Giants lifted its leg and stomped down heavily.
One of the cultivators couldn't dodge in time and was trampled down by the huge foot. Whatever divine ability or immortal art he had, he collapsed on the spot and was crushed into ashes. Not even his bones remained!
Swoosh!
Another Lava Giant reached out with its gigantic palm and swiped through the air, grabbing at an Earth Immortal who was dodging in a panic.
The palm covered the sky. Seeing that he couldn't dodge it, that person unleashed all his divine abilities and secret skills. However, he only managed to create a small pit on the Lava Giant's body.
As the magma surged, the pit was filled up instantly.
Pfft!
After exhausting all his means, the cultivator was caught in the palm of the Lava Giant. A wisp of green smoke rose and he died.
This scene played out repeatedly in the Nine Heavens.
The strength of the Lava Giants was extremely terrifying. Even if many cultivators joined forces and crippled their bodies, it was useless.
The magma continued to surge and the bodies of the Lava Giants would recover to their original state very quickly.
In this world of flames, the Lava Giants were almost undying beings!
In the square, the Perfected Immortal Xie Ling said slowly, "If a Lava Giant is born in this space, it would be unwise to fight it head-on."
"Although the strength of these Lava Giants doesn't exceed the upper limit of an Earth Immortal, their strength is endless and won't be exhausted."
Everyone looked at the situation in the Nine Heavens and focused on how some of the top paragons would deal with it.
"Look over there. Su Zimo didn't fight it head-on. Instead, he used his movement technique to go around it!"
Under the gazes of many cultivators, Su Zimo encountered a Lava Giant blocking his way. His figure paused for a moment before he used his movement technique to pass through the Lava Giant's legs.
The Lava Giant's palm grabbed empty air.
By the time it turned around, Su Zimo had already run far away and left the Lava Giant's attack range.
These Lava Giants wouldn't target a single person. They would only stand on the spot and block the cultivators who wanted to rush over.
Xie Ling smiled gently and said, "The way Su Zimo of Qiankun Academy dealt with it is the most rational and easiest way."
"This is the first time this lad has encountered such a situation. It is indeed rare for him to be able to make the fastest judgment and think of the best way to deal with it in such a short period of time."
As the person in charge this time round, this was the first time the Perfected Immortal Xie Ling praised a cultivator.
"Your Highness, aren't you overestimating him?"
Duke Yuanzuo was somewhat disdainful as he pursed his lips. "In my opinion, he's just being opportunistic."
Xie Ling smiled and did not refute. "Of course, there might be other living beings born later on. By then, it won't be so easy to deal with them. What's tested is the true combat strength of the cultivator!"
At that moment, after charging through the Lava Giant's obstruction, Su Zimo's ranking had already risen to 98th!
All of a sudden!
A series of bird chirps sounded from the distant skies.
Immediately after, a large patch of red light extended from the distant horizon and approached rapidly. The chirps of the birds were getting clearer as well!
"It's a flock of fire sparrows!"
In the square, the Heaven Immortals of the various factions suddenly exclaimed and their expressions changed.
Among them, they had either encountered a flock of fire sparrows before or had heard of them.
Legend has it that fire sparrows inherited a wisp of the Vermilion Bird bloodline.
A single fire sparrow was nothing to be afraid of as it was only an ordinary Earth Immortal.
However, the flock of fire sparrows consisted of billions of massive living beings. As they spread over, they blotted out the skies and there was no way to block or dodge them!
