He did not walk far before his vision cleared up.
This was a gigantic underground cave that was filled with a fiery red hue. Heat waves surged and mist rose.
Boiling lava flowed slowly in the underground cave like a scarlet sticky river. Occasionally, bubbles would pop up on the surface of the river and sparks would fly everywhere.
If one focused their attention, they would be able to see that there were almost transparent flames burning on the surface of the lava. They were extremely hot and filled with spirituality.
Connate spirit fire!
Su Zimo licked his chapped lips and gulped.
He had expected that there would be connate spirit fires in the depths of the underground. However, he had not expected there to be so many of them!
Furthermore, the scene before him was way too shocking!
There was boiling lava everywhere as far as the eye could see. There were extremely few lands that one could truly stand on. There were probably only a few protruding reefs that were scorched red.
This was a sea of lava, a nation of flames!
It was way too hot.
Even Su Zimo's body could not withstand the temperature and a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Su Zimo crushed a protection talisman.
With a flash of spiritual light, a faint light shield appeared around his body, blocking out the heat waves emitted by the magma.
Now that it was slightly cooler, Su Zimo followed the edge of the lava and stuck close to the wall, heading in.
There should be a demon beast hidden here!
He had to get rid of these hidden dangers. Otherwise, if he was disturbed by this Demonic Beast during the refining process, the refining process would definitely fail.
In fact, his life might even be in danger!
The strength of a demon beast that could survive in such an environment was unfathomable and there was a high chance that it was a level higher than him!
There was a corner ahead.
After rounding that corner, it was still a boiling sea of lava.
However, in the middle of the fiery red lava, there was a rather large piece of land that resembled a lone island in the middle of the ocean.
On that piece of land, a demon beast the size of a small mountain was sprawled. Its eyes were tightly shut and it was covered in long scarlet fur. It was dark and lusterless and its furry tail drooped down.
It was actually a fire fox!
The Fox Clan, as long as they cultivated to become demons, could transform into human form. All of them were beauties, and could be said to be natural beauties, charming and alluring.
In the strange legends that circulated in the mortal world, she often appeared in the image of a charming scholar. She was given the title of 'Vixen' and had an extremely bad reputation.
However, after entering the Cultivation World, Su Zimo knew that the Fox Clan was considered a moderate faction among the Demon Clans.
Even so, Su Zimo did not dare to be careless.
He stared at the fox demon for a while.
The demon fox did not move, and her eyes did not open.
In fact, Su Zimo could not sense any signs of life from this Demonic Fox!
This demon fox was already dead.
The hair on its body hadn't fallen off, and its flesh hadn't rotted yet. It should have died less than a hundred years ago.
But then, Su Zimo was puzzled.
Looking at the appearance of this demon fox, it was obvious that it was far from reaching the end of its lifespan. How could it have fallen?
There was not a single wound on the body of the demon fox. How did it die?
Since the demon fox was already dead, its demonic energy had long dissipated and disappeared. Where did that faint demonic qi come from when he opened the entrance of the underground tunnel?
"There are other demon beasts hidden here!"
At the same time that thought flashed through his mind, he felt as though his spirit perception was being spied on.
Su Zimo's gaze shifted and instinctively landed on a black cover beside the corpse of the demon fox.
The black cover looked like an iron pot that had been placed upside down on the ground. Mysterious patterns were carved on it, and a few holes could be seen in the middle.
The other holes were all shining with light.
There was only a pair of pitch-black holes, as though they were blocked by two black balls.
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo exclaimed softly.
Right at this moment, the pair of 'black balls' in the iron cage suddenly rotated, and they were abnormally agile!
How were those black balls? They were clearly a pair of gigantic eyes!
There was a living being hiding beneath the iron cover and peeking at Su Zimo through the holes above!
The next moment, the iron cover was lifted slowly and a fiery red little thing poked its head out carefully, revealing its true appearance.
It had fiery red fur that was smooth and glossy, as though it was draped in brocade – one could not help but want to touch it.
The little thing was fiery red from head to toe and the only thing that was covered in snow-white fur was its chest. The combination of red and white made it look even more beautiful and extraordinary.
A pair of ears perked up and shook gently. Blinking its bright eyes, it tilted its head slightly and looked at Su Zimo curiously.
This little thing should be the bloodline of the dead demon fox. It looked like a cub and was truly adorable.
The little fox's eyes darted around with curiosity and confusion. Like a child, it stood on its hind legs and extended a pair of tiny claws, raising a gigantic black pot …
When he saw that, Su Zimo could not help but laugh.
On the one hand, he was laughing at himself for being overly nervous.
The little fox was still a cub and posed almost no threat to him.
On the other hand, the little thing's posture was way too comical.
When it saw Su Zimo's smile, the little fox blushed and lowered its head shyly like a human.
However, right after, the little fox seemed to have thought of something and raised its head with an anxious expression, squeaking.
It extended a pair of tiny claws and gestured with all its might, wanting to say something. However, it forgot that it was still holding up the iron cover earlier on.
There was a loud bang.
The little fox was trapped in the iron cover once more.
This should have been an even more comical scene.
However, this time round, Su Zimo did not laugh.
That was because he could not laugh anymore!
There was danger!
If it was anyone else, they would definitely not understand the little fox's cries and gestures.
However, Su Zimo was a dual immortal and demonic cultivator to begin with and had even lived with monkey, Linghu, little crane and the Night Spirit.
Although he could not understand the language of the demon race, he could roughly guess it.
Just Now, the little fox's meaning was simple – it was telling him that there was danger here!
This time round, his spirit perception did not warn him.
However, Su Zimo was certain that there was a terrifying existence hidden here!
That existence could even hide from his spirit perception!
The reason why Su Zimo was so certain was not only because of the little fox's reminder.
Instead, it was because he finally understood one thing.
There was only a single explanation for the fox demon's death here despite its lifespan.
Another powerful existence had killed it!
The little fox was not the only living being in this cave – there was another one!
Instantly, Su Zimo felt his hairs stand on end and chills run down his spine.
He knew that he had already fallen into a huge danger and could lose his life at any time!
At the same time.
A faint tremor came from above the cave.
Outsiders would not have been able to detect the tremors at all.
However, Su Zimo's five senses were way too strong!
He knew that an outsider had barged into the palace above!
Furthermore, there were quite a number of them!
"Not good, Peak Master Xuan Yi is in danger!"
Su Zimo was alarmed.
While he was in a daze, a tall figure burst forth from the lava beside him with a splash. It emitted a terrifying aura and lunged towards Su Zimo.
Almost at the same time.
Xuan Yi and the other two in the palace above and Su Zimo in the cave were all in danger!
