Lu Xuan flashed a smile and said, "The reason I'm here is for that stronger existence."
With that, Lu Xuan walked straight ahead.
Yu Chenghua stared at Lu Xuan, flabbergasted. He's here for that stronger existence? Could it be that Lu Xuan had long known that there was something strange here, or perhaps he even knew many things about this sealed land that no one knew about?
Yu Chenghua didn't have time to think about it, so he hurriedly followed. Even if he didn't dare venture into the depths of the lava field, he had no right to change Lu Xuan's decision.
Just as the two of them had walked a short distance, a low growl was suddenly heard. Lu Xuan quickly turned his head in the direction of the sound and saw a monster covered in lava emerge from a pool of lava.
It had a humanoid body, but it was extremely tall. Its entire body was made of lava, and its thick arms gave off a sense of strength. Endless scorching lava flowed continuously from the monster's body, but it didn't seem to be affected in the slightest. It was as if the lava was no different from water to humans.
Yu Chenghua gasped when he saw the monster. "It's a Fire Demon!"
The Fire Demon stood in the lava, its fiery eyes glaring at Lu Xuan. However, it didn't take the initiative to attack. Instead, it roared at Lu Xuan as if it was warning him.
"Go and test its strength," Lu Xuan instructed Yu Chenghua.
"Master, I don't have a weapon," Yu Chenghua said honestly.
Lu Xuan rolled his eyes and took out a long blade from Yu Chenghua's storage ring. This should be Yu Chenghua's backup weapon. His nine-ringed blade had already been sliced in two by Lu Xuan.
Now that he had the weapon, Yu Chenghua had no choice but to go. Although he didn't understand why Lu Xuan didn't go himself, with Lu Xuan's strength, it shouldn't be difficult for him to get rid of this Flame Demon.
The reason why Lu Xuan didn't attack was because he saw something unusual in the eyes of the Flame Demon. This feeling was similar to when he saw Buno's soul beasts. It seemed like these Flame Demons were also being controlled, and the one controlling them was most likely the Li Fire Essence.
Now that the Li Fire Essence had developed intelligence, if he wanted to subdue the Li Fire Essence, there would definitely be a battle. He didn't want to reveal his strength so quickly.
At this moment, Yu Chenghua had already clashed with the Flame Demon. Sparks flew as his saber slashed onto the Flame Demon's body. The Flame Demon's body was extremely tough, while the Flame Demon swung its thick arms, continuously smashing towards Yu Chenghua. Every strike was extremely powerful, and when it smashed onto the ground, it would cause a huge explosion.
Lu Xuan nodded inwardly. This Flame Demon was indeed powerful. However, it had more than enough strength, but not enough dexterity. Yu Chenghua was more than enough to deal with it.
Although Yu Chenghua's strength was more or less affected by Lu Xuan's severing of a few fingers, his strength was still at the Third Level of the Great Void Realm. Continuous shouts could be heard as Yu Chenghua slashed at the Flame Demon's body again and again, gaining the upper hand.
As Yu Chenghua bellowed, he slashed down with his saber, forcibly splitting the Flame Demon into two. Its body, which was made of lava, immediately fell apart.
"Master, the Flame Demon has been killed." Yu Chenghua bowed and replied, panting slightly.
Lu Xuan nodded lightly and then walked towards the Flame Demon's body. After picking up a few pieces of lava, Lu Xuan saw two fiery-red stones. They were like rubies and were quite beautiful. Of course, what caught Lu Xuan's attention was not its beauty, but the rich fire elemental energy it contained.
Holding this fiery-red stone, Lu Xuan could not help but exclaim in joy, "What a pure fire elemental energy!"
Lu Xuan was now completely sure that this Flame Demon was created by the Li Fire Essence. Ordinary gemstones did not have such pure fire elemental energy and were able to develop intelligence on their own. Perhaps the grade of the Li Fire Essence was not lower than the Chaotic Soil.
Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's desire to subdue the Li Fire Essence grew stronger. He immediately put away the two fiery-red stones and continued to move forward.
As they went deeper into the lava, the temperature began to rise. Lu Xuan had no choice but to start circulating his cultivation technique to resist the heat. Little Tanuki also gradually could not stand it. Every time they encountered the Flame Demon, she would rush forward and fight with Yu Chenghua. It was as if she wanted to vent all her anger on them. With Little Tanuki's help, Yu Chenghua undoubtedly had an easier time dealing with the Flame Demons.
At this moment, Lu Xuan suddenly heard the sound of fighting coming from afar. He could not help but be shocked. Indeed, there were people who had entered this place, but he did not know which faction they were from.
"Let's go and take a look." Lu Xuan instructed and then hurried over with Yu Chenghua.
When Lu Xuan arrived, the sound of fighting had already stopped. He saw a group of people already collecting the spoils of war. Obviously, they also knew that the gemstones on the Flame Demon's body contained rich fire elemental energy.
Lu Xuan's eyes swept across this group of people. Suddenly, his eyes narrowed slightly. He saw an old acquaintance, Dong Ruyi!
"Who!" At this moment, a middle-aged man in the group suddenly turned his head and glared at Lu Xuan. He had actually discovered Lu Xuan's existence.
Lu Xuan was greatly shocked. Oh no! This group of people was together with Dong Ruyi, and Dong Ruyi did not seem to be the one in charge. Her strength was definitely not ordinary.
In shock, Lu Xuan's mind quickly turned. His first thought was to run, but he soon realized that he definitely could not outrun this group of Virtualized Realm experts. Although Little Tanuki could travel through space, Dong Ruyi had the Law of Space and could restrain Little Tanuki.
With these thoughts in mind, Lu Xuan immediately made a decision. He immediately steeled his heart and slowly walked out. His face was calm, without the slightest trace of panic.
Seeing Lu Xuan, Dong Ruyi immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "Lu Xuan, it's you again!"
The middle-aged man couldn't help but turn to look at Dong Ruyi and asked, "Luo Sha, you know him?"
Dong Ruyi sneered, "Of course I know him. He is the one who destroyed my Illusion God Soul Stealing Mirror!"
The middle-aged man was slightly shocked. He obviously knew how strong Dong Ruyi was. He originally thought that Lu Xuan was a disciple of the Illusion God Sect. He didn't expect that a mere Origin Realm brat would actually have the strength to destroy Dong Ruyi's signature weapon.
Looking at Dong Ruyi, Lu Xuan smiled lightly, "I didn't expect to meet you so soon. As the saying goes, enemies will never meet. I wonder how I should address this brother? Yu Chenghua, do you know him? "
Lu Xuan didn't seem to treat himself as a junior of the Origin Realm. Facing this middle-aged man with the strength of the Great Void Realm, he actually addressed him as brother. It was obvious that he was putting himself on the same level.
Hearing Lu Xuan mention Yu Chenghua, Dong Ruyi couldn't help but look behind Lu Xuan. As expected, she saw Yu Chenghua. She instantly yelled out in anger, "Yu Chenghua, you actually betrayed the Illusion God Sect and sided with this brat?"
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Yu Chenghua gritted his teeth and stood out, "You abandoned us and escaped. Could it be that you can live, but I, Yu Chenghua, can't? Fortunately, I was chosen by Master, which allowed me to keep my life. Master is much more broad-minded than you. "
Hearing Yu Chenghua's words, the middle-aged man was even more shocked. Where did this brat come from? Not only did he defeat Dong Ruyi, he was also able to make Yu Chenghua, the Soul Parting Hall's Vice Hall Master, obediently address him as Master. Could it be that he cultivated some kind of martial technique to conceal his strength and intentionally disguised himself as an Origin Realm martial artist?
Dong Ruyi was speechless after hearing Yu Chenghua's words. She squinted her eyes and said, "Very good. Anyone who dares to betray the Illusion God Sect will be endlessly pursued by the Illusion God Sect. When that time comes, you will suffer the Eighteen Disillusionment Punishment. It will be more painful than death!"
Hearing this, Yu Chenghua's heart trembled slightly. The Eighteen Disillusionment Punishment was the cruelest punishment in the Illusion God Sect. It was worse than death. But now that things had come to this, there was no point in being afraid. At least he wasn't dead yet. Living a bad life was better than dying a good death.
At this moment, Lu Xuan spoke lazily, "Dong Ruyi, you sure talk a lot of nonsense. Seems like I didn't teach you a lesson last time. If you have the ability, come to my place and capture Yu Chenghua for punishment. What's the point of talking so much?"
"You!" Dong Ruyi glared at Lu Xuan, but she didn't move an inch. Previously, Lu Xuan's formidable strength had left a deep impression in her heart.
"Yu Chenghua, hurry up and introduce me." Lu Xuan spoke again.
"Yes, Master." Yu Chenghua bowed and said, "This is the third master of the Nangong Clan from the Eight Direction Sacred Palace, Nangong Lie. The Nangong Clan specializes in fire-type cultivation techniques and martial techniques. Nangong Lie's strength is even more superb. He is currently at the sixth level of the Great Void Realm."
Lu Xuan was secretly shocked. No wonder this Nangong Lie was together with Dong Ruyi. He was actually at the sixth level of the Great Void Realm. What's more, this lava field was filled with extremely strong fire-type essence force. Martial artists who specialized in fire-type cultivation techniques and martial techniques would be able to exhibit extraordinary strength. Compared to Dong Ruyi, they would be even more difficult to deal with.
Furthermore, the reason why Lu Xuan was able to go against Dong Ruyi was mainly because Dong Ruyi's Dao of Illusion was useless against him. If it was any other sixth level Great Void Realm expert, Lu Xuan wouldn't even have the strength to fight against a sixth level Great Void Realm expert as a ninth level Origin Realm martial artist. Lu Xuan wasn't such a monster.
Although he was getting more and more shocked, Lu Xuan didn't dare to show any signs of fear. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Immediately, he revealed a trace of a smile and cupped his hands towards Nangong Lie, "So it's Brother Nangong. It's an honor to meet you."
Nangong Lie was puzzled by Lu Xuan's carefree manner. Shouldn't an Origin Realm kid be respectful and fearful when he sees me? Why isn't this kid behaving like that at all?
Thinking of this, Nangong Lie was even more certain of his guess. This kid was definitely not as simple as he looked. He couldn't help but cupped his hands and said, "May I ask who you are?"
"Me? He's just a nobody, not worth mentioning. "Lu Xuan smiled faintly, appearing unfathomable.
But at this moment, Dong Ruyi snorted, "Nangong Lie, don't be fooled by this kid. He's just a disciple from a fourth-grade sect. He's just bluffing."
