Seeing that the power of the Oath Stone had taken effect, Lu Xuan smiled.
Sparing Yu Chenghua's life was an idea that popped up in Lu Xuan's mind. With his current strength, killing Yu Chenghua was as easy as flipping his palm. However, Yu Chenghua was an expert in the Third Level of the Great Void Realm after all. In this sealed land, he could still play a role.
Rather than killing him, it was better to take him in as a subordinate. With the power of the Oath Stone, Lu Xuan was not worried that Yu Chenghua would harm him. On the contrary, when Yu Chenghua was needed, Lu Xuan could order him around to his heart's content.
Wan Jingshan also looked at Lu Xuan strangely. He did not expect that the reason why Lu Xuan spared Yu Chenghua's life was to take him in as his subordinate. He immediately nodded lightly. Lu Xuan's method was undoubtedly to weaken the enemy's strength and strengthen his own.
When the rest of the people from the Illusionary God Sect saw that Lu Xuan had spared Yu Chenghua's life, they could not help but be overjoyed and said, "Lu Xuan, we are also willing to follow your orders."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan could not help but turn his head to look at them. Some of them were with Dong Ruyi previously. Lu Xuan still remembered that it was this group of people who suggested Dong Ruyi to snatch his Xuanling Sand Crystal. The others were Yu Chenghua's subordinates from the Departed Soul Hall.
"Do you think I should spare them?" Lu Xuan glanced at Yu Chenghua and asked.
Yu Chenghua did not dare to have any other thoughts. It seemed that if he dared to show the slightest disrespect to Lu Xuan, the power of the Way of the Heavens that lingered around his body would instantly kill him. He hurriedly said, "Everything is up to you, master."
Lu Xuan smiled coldly and said, "I know that you are not willing to obey me. However, the reason why I have spared your life is not because I do not want to kill, but because I see that you still have some use. If you dare to betray me in the slightest, they will be your end."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Xuan raised the sword in his hand. Amidst the screams of the people from the Illusory God Sect, a boundless force swept over them.
"Lu Xuan, you will die a horrible death!"
"Master will come back to avenge us!"
…
There wasn't even a single Virtualized realm expert among this group of people, so how could they possibly resist Lu Xuan's attack? A wave of yellow sand swept past, and not a single figure could be seen in front of them. All the cultivators were killed by Lu Xuan with a single move, buried under the yellow sand.
Yu Chenghua's heart skipped a beat as he gulped down a mouthful of saliva. He knew that if it weren't for the fact that he had the strength of the Virtualized Realm, which made him somewhat useful in this sealed area, he would have ended up like the group of people before him, a lifeless corpse, slowly rotting away in this sealed area.
Wan Jingshan's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration as he watched Lu Xuan annihilate everyone with a single move. As a cultivator, one must know how to kill! Those who deserved to be killed must not be soft-hearted. Being merciful to one's enemy was the same as being cruel to oneself. Up to this point, the number of people he had killed was not small. Otherwise, his corpse would have long since been laid out in another place.
"Let's go, to the Land of Fire." Lu Xuan spoke. The arrival of Dong Ruyi and the others was just a small interlude. Lu Xuan's ultimate goal was still to obtain all the treasures in the seven great regions.
With Wan Jingshan leading the way, the group set off once again, this time with the addition of Yu Chenghua.
As the group walked further and further away, Lu Xuan could feel the air getting hotter and hotter. The temperature began to rise rapidly, and he understood that the Land of Fire was right in front of them.
After crossing over several sand dunes, a fiery red land finally appeared in front of Lu Xuan. This place was completely different from the desert. Not a single grain of sand could be seen on the ground. After countless years of scorching heat, all the soil had turned into hard rocks.
"This is the Land of Fire," Wan Jingshan said as he looked ahead.
Lu Xuan nodded and secretly activated the Soil of Chaos. He found that although the Soil of Chaos could still provide him with a certain amount of power, it was much inferior compared to when he was in the desert. If Lu Xuan met Dong Ruyi in her full power again, he would probably not be a match for her.
However, Dong Ruyi had lost the Soul Conquering Mirror and was heavily injured. Her power could not compare to when she was in the Overturning Era. Not everyone had a perverted recovery ability like Lu Xuan.
"Let's go and take a look." Lu Xuan strode forward and asked at the same time, "Elder Wan, is there anything unusual in this Land of Fire?"
"Unusual?" Wan Jingshan frowned and thought about it. "I haven't discovered that yet."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan thought to himself, It seems that I still have to ask Senior Sister Bing Ling. Since she was the one who created this Land of Fire, she should know.
Immediately, Lu Xuan communicated with Bing Ling in the Profound Ice Phoenix Blood Sword and asked, "Senior Sister, do you know where the treasure in the Land of Fire is?"
Unexpectedly, Bing Ling shook her head and said, "My current strength is not what it was in the past. I can't even compare to the current you, so I can't clearly sense it. Moreover, I only left behind a Fire-type treasure. After so many years, I don't know what it has become."
Even Bing Ling doesn't know? Lu Xuan could not help but be slightly stunned. It seems that he will have to slowly search for it himself.
However, at this moment, Yu Chenghua, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "I know of an unusual place. However, that place is extremely dangerous. I only checked it out briefly before leaving. With my strength, I don't dare to go too deep into it."
Hearing this, Lu Xuan's interest was immediately piqued. He had forgotten that Yu Chenghua had also been to the Land of Fire. Back then, when he chased after Wan Jingshan and the others, he had chased them all the way from the Land of Fire to the desert.
"That's perfect. Lead the way." Without another word, Lu Xuan asked Yu Chenghua to lead the way. After all, with the Oath Stone's restrictions, Yu Chenghua did not dare to play any tricks.
Yu Chenghua naturally did not dare to disobey and immediately led Lu Xuan to the special place he mentioned. However, at this moment, Wan Jingshan cupped his hands towards Lu Xuan and said, "Lu Xuan, since you have Yu Chenghua to lead the way, we won't be traveling with you. With your current strength, not only will I not be of any help, but I will also be a burden."
Lu Xuan hesitated for a moment before replying, "Very well. Have a safe journey Elder Wan."
Wan Jingshan nodded and once again thanked Lu Xuan before leaving with Yun Qi and the others.
As for why he chose to leave Lu Xuan, Wan Jingshan had his own plans. Lu Xuan was strong, so following him would naturally be safer. However, it was clear that Lu Xuan liked to go to dangerous places. For example, the unusual place in the Land of Fire. Even Yu Chenghua did not dare to explore it. Wan Jingshan was worried that even if he went there, he would not be able to protect himself, so it was better to leave first.
After Wan Jingshan left, only Yu Chenghua and Little Tanuki were left by Lu Xuan's side. Little Tanuki did not like the environment here, it was too hot. So at this moment, it was like a dead dog lying on Lu Xuan's shoulder, not saying a single word.
The environment of the Land of Fire was also incomparably vile. Aside from the sandstorms in the desert, it was relatively calm, but this place was like purgatory on earth. From time to time, one could see pools of boiling lava. Lu Xuan even saw a volcano suddenly erupt in the distance, causing fiery red lava to wildly sprinkle down, causing one's heart to tremble.
The ice spirit's methods were indeed powerful. It had actually forcefully turned a place with verdant hills and limpid waters into a purgatory of flames. It was not easy for the remaining Spiritas to survive in such an environment.
At this moment, Yu Chenghua said, "Master, that place is in front of us. It is a land of lava, and there are a few strange creatures living there. Their bodies are made of lava, and they are extremely strong. Moreover, they are incomparably tough. I call them Flame Demons. With my strength, I can only deal with two Flame Demons at once."
Lu Xuan was secretly shocked when he heard this. What kind of life form was it that was made of lava? Yu Chenghua's strength was at the third-layer Grand Void Realm, but even he could only deal with two Flame Demons at once. One could imagine that the Flame Demon's strength was at least comparable to the second-layer Grand Void Realm.
At this moment, the ice spirit's voice suddenly sounded in Lu Xuan's mind, "Oh no, I'm afraid that the Mythical Fire Essence has developed intelligence. This Flame Demon was created by it!"
Lu Xuan's heart trembled, "The Mythical Fire Essence, is it the treasure that Senior Sister placed here in the past?"
"That's right. The Mythical Fire Essence is the essence of fire. If it can be used as the weapon spirit of a Fire-type treasure, it will make the weapon extremely powerful. Back then, I wanted to leave it here to nourish it and then come back to retrieve it. I didn't expect it to develop intelligence after ten thousand years. "The ice spirit's tone was slightly solemn.
If she still had the strength she had in the past, even if the Mythical Fire Essence had developed intelligence, she would still be able to subdue it. However, although she had regained her memory, she no longer had the strength she had in the past.
Lu Xuan pondered for a moment before he said, "Senior Sister, didn't you set up a formation around every treasure? Can you use the formation to control the Mythical Fire Essence? "
The ice spirit thought for a moment and said, "The Mythical Fire Essence shouldn't be able to destroy my formation. Although it can't completely control it, it should be able to restrict and suppress it to a certain extent. If you want to subdue it, you'll have to rely on yourself."
Lu Xuan was slightly relieved when he heard this and said, "If that's the case, leave the rest to me. I have to give it a try no matter what."
As he was conversing with the ice spirit, Lu Xuan and Yu Chenghua had already stepped into the lava field. This place was obviously different from the places that Lu Xuan had been to before. The temperature was so high that it exceeded Lu Xuan's imagination. Even with his physique, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and the air was filled with a sense of irritation.
"Master, are we really going to go? Those Flame Demons were only the ones I encountered in the periphery. I'm afraid there are even more powerful existences inside. " Yu Chenghua said worriedly. Although he had obeyed Lu Xuan to save his life, he didn't want to die in vain.
