At this moment, Feng Xun even felt like dying.
He had thought that the other party had already used his full strength in the previous duel, but at this moment, he realized that the other party might not even have exerted a fifth of his fighting prowess.
In other words, the other party had already beaten him up badly with that little bit of strength. It was hard to tell what provoked him to use his full strength at this moment, but the other party was already pummeling him to the point that he could not even bear to live anymore.
Besides …
What in the world was this? Wasn't it just a duel? He had just won a moment ago, and yet, the other party came over to beat him up? What was going on?
Seeing that the other party was getting more and more excited, Feng Xun could not hold himself back anymore. He secretly released the seal on his body and raised his cultivation to Saint 1-dan, but the result was the same as before. He was still pummeled relentlessly.
What left him even more spurting blood was that … the other party did not seem to have noticed the rise in his cultivation at all!
Gritting his teeth, Feng Xun continued raising his cultivation to Saint 2-dan, but the other party was still oblivious to it.
He was a Thousand Men Commander of the Combat Master Hall, a top-notch genius. Fighting opponents above his cultivation realm was a walk in the park for him, and yet, the other party was still oblivious to it …
This huge blow left him on the verge of insanity.
"Forget it, I don't care about my dignity anymore …"
With a savage look on his face, Feng Xun gritted his teeth and released all of the strength he had been suppressing.
As a Saint 3-dan pinnacle expert, Zhang Xuan was able to exert his full strength at this moment, causing his aura to surge into the heavens.
"I'll make you pay the price!"
Roaring furiously, Feng Xun clenched his fists tightly. Just as he was about to make a move, a foot suddenly struck his face.
Not to mention the strength of this kick, it had even kicked one of the vital points and flaws in his cultivation. Before he could finish shouting in excitement, he felt his vision go black and he fell heavily onto the ground. He lay upright on the ground!
Only at this moment did he realize one thing … If you cherish your life, you should stay away from Zhang Xuan!
Even though he was also known as a genius, he wasn't on the same level as the young man before him. There was a world of difference between the two of them.
It was no wonder his direct disciples were allowed to take the Progeny of Combat examination. The students that he had imparted to him were able to defeat the members of the Combat Master Hall so easily …
This was way too monstrous!
After knocking Feng Xun unconscious, Zhang Xuan finally felt the stifling feeling in his chest disappear. He stretched lazily and walked back to Lozosy's courtyard feeling refreshed.
But before he could get close, Mu shi had already walked out of the room.
"Senior Uncle, Luo shi has already gone to bed, and she has instructed us to talk about it tomorrow!"
"Ugh!"
Seeing that the other party had no intention of meeting him, Zhang Xuan scratched his head and walked back to his residence.
It was a silent night.
At dawn the next day, everyone gathered in Mingshi Tang's reception hall. After a night of adjustment and treatment, Feng Xun's breathing had recovered a lot, but his body was still badly swollen.
"Combat Master Feng, what's wrong? If you really can't do it, then don't go … "President Han, who was in charge of leading the crowd, couldn't help but ask when he saw him like this.
The guy from yesterday was still fine. How did he become like this after one night?
"It's fine. I just made some mistakes in my cultivation yesterday, and I have already consumed some medicine. It won't be a problem …" Feng Xun hurriedly waved his hands.
He had challenged a Nascent Saint only to be pummeled to such a state. He would be too embarrassed to speak of it!
"Cultivation?" President Han shook his head.
He might not be a master teacher, but he wasn't a fool either. How could he possibly have cultivated to such a state? It was clear that he had been pummeled.
However, since the other party was unwilling to speak of it, he couldn't be bothered to pursue the matter. Thus, he turned to the crowd and said, "Since everyone is here, let's set off!"
The seal of the ancient domain was about to open, so it was about time for them to head over.
Standing on the back of the saint beast, Zhang Xuan discreetly shot a glance at Luo Ruoxin, only to see that she still had the same nonchalant look on her face. It seemed like she did not blame him for what had happened the previous day. Heaving a sigh of relief, he hurriedly rushed forward.
"Luo shi, the ancient domain is fraught with danger. If we travel together, we will be able to look out for one another …"
"Un!" Lozosy nodded.
Seeing that the other party wasn't angry at him, Zhang Xuan heaved a sigh of relief. "That's great!"
A few minutes later, the massive Yanlin Mountain appeared before their eyes once more.
The group descended to the ground.
The seal was no different from how it was a few days ago. The formation flag that Zhang Xuan had planted in the ground was still standing quietly in the middle of the formation. Surges of concentrated energy were emanating from the formation, emanating immense power.
"Based on my deductions, the seal will open today. As for the exact time, we can't be sure, so we just have to wait patiently!"
President Han explained.
For such a formidable seal, it was already incredible that they could deduce the exact date of its opening. It was nigh impossible for them to know the exact time.
Everyone knew how difficult it was, so they weren't in a rush. They stood where they were and waited. Around two hours later, the white mist-like seal slowly changed, turning red. Following this, a rainbow-colored passageway appeared before them.
"It's opening!"
Seeing this, everyone knew that the seal had been opened, and their eyes lit up.
President Han glanced at the passageway for a moment before turning to the crowd and explaining, "This is the Seven-colored Rainbow Bridge, and it will only appear for fifteen minutes. Let's hurry up and enter!"
After saying those words, he took the lead and walked forward.
The crowd followed closely behind him.
Even though the rainbow passageway was only formed by a formation, it was extremely resilient. Walking on it was no different from walking on the ground.
Following behind the crowd on the rainbow bridge, Zhang Xuan scanned his surroundings. The blue sky, the white clouds, the green hills, the clear waters, and the searing hot air beneath him created a dreamlike feeling, as if two worlds were fusing together.
To be able to create such a resilient rainbow bridge in an empty space, the person who set up this ancient domain sure is fearsome …
Zhang Xuan thought.
He was able to use his zhenqi to construct a rainbow bridge so that people could walk on it. However, he was unable to set up a spell formation and make it operate as a bridge.
Not only was he unable to do so, even a Seven Star formation master would find it difficult to do so.
It seemed that it was just as he had guessed. The senior who had left behind the ruins was at least an eight-star martial artist!
It was no wonder why the old principal was so fearful of the other party, leaving behind a cenotaph in advance.
"Eye of Insight!"
Walking forward, Zhang Xuan peered into the distance.
At the end of the rainbow, he saw a seven-colored barrier of light. Beneath it, the lava was bubbling furiously, and the heat emanating from the barrier felt as if it would burst forth at any moment, reducing one to cinders.
"The structure of this barrier … is somewhat similar to the seal in the Subterranean Gallery …"
A moment later, Zhang Xuan frowned.
The structure of the barrier before him was extremely bizarre. It bore some resemblance to the seal that sealed the otherworldly battlefield in the Subterranean Gallery, just that it was much simpler.
Even so, without opening it, it would be nigh impossible for one to barge in.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to keep the entire Otherworldly Demonic Tribe at bay for tens of thousands of years.
Perplexed, Zhang Xuan followed behind the crowd, and soon, they arrived before the barrier.
At this moment, the others finally got a clear look at what was beyond the barrier, and their faces paled.
"Lava is right ahead. Could it be that … the ancient domain is within the lava?"
A master teacher asked in bewilderment.
Lava was made up of molten rock, and its temperature was extremely high. Even steel would be melted into liquid if placed within it. Even Saint realm experts dared not enter recklessly.
"The information I have is limited. We'll have to enter to find out more …" Wu Shi shook his head.
He didn't know much about the specifics.
"Then …"
"Let's not think too much about it. Since we are already here, let's head in to take a look first!"
Seeing the bewildered looks on everyone's faces, Wu Shi stepped forward and said, "Alright, I'll give it a try first. If there's any danger, let's not enter …"
He was the strongest master teacher in the group, so he had to take the lead if there was any danger.
After saying those words, he immediately infused his zhenqi into his acupoints, and with a leap, he dashed straight toward the barrier.
Hu!
Huala! Without the slightest resistance, Wu Shi fell into the barrier, and his figure disappeared before everyone's eyes.
Following which, the crowd saw Zhang Xuan's silhouette emerging from the other side of the barrier. Even though they couldn't see him clearly, they could clearly see him waving his hand.
"Let's go in!"
President Han followed closely behind.
Zhang Xuan also followed closely behind. As soon as his body touched the barrier, it felt as if he had touched water. In the next instant, he appeared right above the scorching lava. Waves of heat assaulted him from time to time, causing his scalp to go numb.
Zhang Xuan looked downward.
It was a massive volcanic crater with a radius of more than ten kilometers. Flames would surge up from time to time, threatening to swallow him whole.
"Could the ancient domain really be beneath the lava?"
Zhang Xuan frowned.
He thought that there would be a passageway leading the group into the ancient domain, but when he arrived, he realized that there was nothing else in the surroundings other than lava.
If the ancient domain was really beneath the lava, this place was far more dangerous than he had imagined.
Putting aside the searing heat, just the sheer size of the lava, coupled with the fact that they were unable to see anything, could very well lose their way and never return.
"How do we get there?"
Wu Shi, who was the first to enter, frowned. He couldn't help but turn to look at President Han.
The other party was a formation master. Perhaps, there might be some kind of invisible formation hidden here that would allow them to enter successfully.
"Let me take a look …"
President Han nodded. He took out his compass and circled around the volcanic crater, and the frown on his forehead grew deeper and deeper.
"The aura in the surroundings is very stable, and there aren't any formations around. It seems like we'll have to slowly search for the entrance …"
"Search?"
Everyone glanced at the lava, which was more than ten li in diameter, and their mouths twitched. How were they supposed to search for the entrance?
Were they really going to have to dive in?
Even if they could withstand the heat, their clothes wouldn't be able to!
After all, they couldn't possibly allow a group of 6-star and Seven Star master teachers and combat masters to walk around naked, right?
If they were to do so, they would probably die of shame before they could even find the ancient domain!
With such thoughts in mind, Zhang Xuan couldn't help but turn to look at Lozosy and stroke his lower jaw worriedly. "What if she takes off her clothes? Should I … take a look or not?"
"You … What nonsense are you thinking?"
Just as Zhang Xuan was deep in thought, he suddenly heard the furious voice of the young lady beside him.
