As time passed, the red smoke became thicker and the temperature became unbearable.
"I can't take it anymore. Brother Ming, I can't breathe."
After a while, Xu Weiwei said with a pale face.
Luo Ming didn't look good either. He looked at Zhou Yang and saw that Zhou Yang didn't look like he couldn't hold on any longer.
"What, are you disappointed?" Zhou Yang smiled. Although the strength of one's inner breath was directly related to one's cultivation, it was also closely related to one's body. His body was stronger than anyone else here and it was enough to make up for the difference in cultivation. He wouldn't be the first to die.
"Zhou Yang, your reputation is already in tatters, and you are also a piece of trash. You will only suffer if you live. Why don't you just die? At least you can save people this way. As long as you jump down yourself, we will clear your name. This is the best choice for you."
Luo Ming said as he walked towards Zhou Yang, his eyes filled with an aggressive sharpness. "What if I don't?" Zhou Yang turned around and returned the same look.
The two of them were fighting each other. At this moment, Xu Weiwei suddenly fainted. At the same time, Cheng Feng couldn't hold on anymore and laid on the ground in pain.
"No need to fight. I'll jump."
At this time, Cheng Qiaoqing suddenly walked towards the well.
Luo Ming's expression changed and he stared at Zhou Yang, "Zhou Yang, are you going to watch Qingqing die and not save her?"
"Then why don't you jump?" Zhou Yang asked.
"You …" Luo Ming's expression was ferocious. Zhou Yang being able to hold on for so long was out of his expectation. Cheng Qiaoqing was one of his targets. He naturally didn't want her to jump.
"Okay, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Luo Ming let out a loud shout and suddenly appeared in a flash. He grabbed Cheng Feng and threw him into the well.
"Brother!" Cheng Qiaoqing exclaimed. She was seriously injured and couldn't save him in time.
At this critical moment, Zhou Yang suddenly flew up and jumped onto the mouth of the well. With a palm, he slapped Cheng Feng out.
"Zhou Yang, go die!"
As if he had expected this, Luo Ming sneered and punched Zhou Yang when Cheng Feng was sent away.
"Bang!"
Zhou Yang, who had no time to defend, was punched into the well by Luo Ming. Luo Ming immediately laughed, but in the next moment, a cold light flew out of the well and directly shot into his abdomen.
Dagger, Zhou Yang's dagger.
Although this attack wouldn't kill him, his injuries were worse than Cheng Qiaoqing's.
"Rumble …"
The red mist on the well stopped and the seal reappeared. At the same time, the door on the other side opened. The heavily injured Luo Ming looked at Cheng Qiaoqing, who was filled with killing intent, and chose to escape without any hesitation.
"Zhou Yang … In my next life, I'm willing to be your servant to repay you."
Cheng Qiaoqing supported Cheng Feng and stared at the seal in the well in a daze.
… …
Underground.
Zhou Yang felt like he was in a furnace, but he wasn't surrounded by flames. Instead, he was surrounded by darkness.
"Buzz …"
Suddenly, a bright light appeared in front of him. A long and narrow tunnel with smooth stone walls on both sides appeared.
"So many skeletons …"
The skeletons in the passageway were even denser than the skeletons in the stone chamber above.
"If I'm not wrong, this should be the second floor of the Meteorite Tower. I wonder what's at the end of this tunnel?"
Previously, he guessed that the well was the entrance to the second floor. If he wanted to leave the second floor, he obviously had to go through this tunnel.
He guessed that jumping into the well might not necessarily lead to death, but if he wanted to go through this tunnel, he would most likely die.
The greater the danger, the greater the opportunity. This principle had never changed since ancient times.
Thinking of this, he immediately prepared to get up, but he found that he seemed to be locked. Looking at his feet, it turned out to be a praying mat.
"Rumble …"
The praying mat suddenly shook, sliding him into the tunnel. At the same time, bright red mist appeared in the tunnel, and the deeper he went, the thicker it became.
"Not good …"
Looking at the red mist and the praying mat under his feet, Zhou Yang immediately understood. However, before he could think of a way to break free, the praying mat moved forward, and he followed the praying mat into the mist as if he was on a skateboard.
Hot, extremely hot.
He had just gone less than ten feet into the red mist, and he was already sweating profusely. After a few minutes, his sweat was also baked dry, and what replaced it was burning.
A burning smell came from his body, and Zhou Yang hurriedly took off his clothes to prevent them from touching his body. Then, he sat cross-legged and used his inner Qi to resist the outside temperature.
Time passed, and he went deeper into the tunnel inch by inch.
Ten minutes later, his body was already burning red. Half an hour later, breathing began to become difficult, and after an hour, his consciousness began to become chaotic.
This was a sign that his consciousness was about to lose consciousness. Once he lost consciousness, he knew that he would definitely die.
"I can't die!"
A furious roar reverberated through the passageway.
After three years of hardship, he finally had unlimited star souls. If he died here, then everything he had suffered before would be in vain.
More importantly, once he died, Ye Zhining's goal would be achieved, and his reputation would be completely ruined. No one would help him clear it.
And his mother's illness …
"Since I can't bear it, then I'll accept you. Come, let me see how strong you are."
Under extreme pain, Zhou Yang suddenly opened his eyes, and then gave up resisting. He opened his hands and let the endless red mist enter his body.
His blood was boiling, his bones seemed to be burning, and even his internal organs were like red-hot iron.
But the strange thing was that his body did not collapse.
"As long as the heart is not dead, the body will not be destroyed. Rebirth from the fire, the true meaning of fire!"
An ancient voice came from the end of the tunnel. In a trance, Zhou Yang suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the stone room at the end of the tunnel. In front of him, there was a white jade platform, and on top of it floated a diamond-shaped red crystal.
There were three strange patterns on the crystal, and one could faintly see a human figure in the crystal.
"Fire-type high-grade Earth Fiend Star Soul!"
Zhou Yang was overjoyed. The three patterns represented the high-grade Earth Fiend Star Soul, and the human figure in it represented the main star soul.
There were countless types of Earth Fiend Star Souls, but there were only 72 types of main star souls, and each of them was in the shape of a human.
Human-shaped Star Souls were the Star Souls that were most compatible with humans. Hence, they were also the strongest Star Souls of the same level.
"My second Astral Nucleus is only lacking a little bit of General Star Energy. Once I open it, I can directly fuse with this Astral Soul Stone."
Grabbing the Astral Soul Stone, Zhou Yang's heart was abnormally excited, and he couldn't wait to fuse with it.
"Maybe I don't have to wait until I return."
After thinking about it, Zhou Yang's eyes lit up, and he took out the Martial Concealment Stone.
