Yu Yan frowned. Reaching out his hand, he pulled onto his disciple at the side, and habitually said with a cold voice. "Follow your master closely."
With her master here, Zhu Yao obediently became a little tail, and followed closely behind. The further she went, the hotter the air became, and the steeper the passage became. Towards the end, she almost had to use her hands and feet to climb up. More and more liquid lava was flowing down the wall. Zhu Yao faintly sensed that there was something in front of her, but after walking for a long while, she was still unable to reach the end.
Suddenly, a gurgling sound came from the front, like the sound of water.
Zhu Yao was shocked. "What's that?"
Yu Yan shook his head. "I don't know either. There should be a special incantation placed here, preventing my divine sense from spreading out. Just follow me and you'll be fine. "
"Then why do we have to go this way?" It's hard to climb, okay?
Yu Yan's footsteps paused, as though he had just thought of this problem. A moment later, he said with a stern look. "Yu Yao, believe in your master."
"…" Fine, you're the master! As his disciple, I should trust him …
My ass!
Zhu Yao's expression darkened as she looked at the surging fiery red in front of her.
"Master, is it volcanic rock that's rushing over from the front?"
"Yes."
"What now?"
Yu Yan did not reply, and simply picked up his disciple. Turning around, he flew in the direction he came from. Following closely behind was a large amount of lava that was pouring towards them. No wonder there was uncooled magma everywhere along the way. This was not a tunnel at all, but a waterway, a waterway specially used to pass through magma.
But just now, they had rushed forward head-on.
Didn't you say that you would be fine if you followed Master? What happened to believing in you? Can't there be some basic trust between master and disciple?
Zhu Yao's heart was filled with sour tears.
It turned out that not only was Master face-blind, he was also directionless.
Yu Yan flew extremely quickly. Even in this narrow space, it only took him a blink of an eye. He shook off the lava behind him. Not long after, he reached the exit and flew out. However, an even hotter aura came rushing at him.
The entire place was filled with fiery red magma, illuminating the entire space with a dazzling fiery red. It was like the bottom of a volcano. The magma was rolling and bubbling, emitting bubbling sounds. However, above their heads. It was just a thick stone wall.
This place seemed to have been specially dug out. The area was the size of ten football fields, but it was filled with magma. No one knew how deep it was.
"What's that?" Yu Yan suddenly spoke.
Zhu Yao followed his gaze and looked over. In the middle of the lava, there was a platform, and there was an object placed steadily on it. It was a round ball. It was suffused with white light. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an egg, a super huge egg. It was at least the size of a dozen people.
Just as Yu Yan was about to bring them closer to investigate, his figure suddenly shook, and he stopped about ten meters away. "There's a formation set up in the surroundings."
In other words, he couldn't get through. Zhu Yao carefully inspected that egg, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar she felt it to be.
"I presume the various abnormalities we encountered all along the way were caused by this egg." Yu Yan said in a low voice. "I wonder what it is."
"I might know." Zhu Yao weakly raised one of her claws. Eggs. It needed to be incubated by the lava of a volcano, and it was even able to set up so many formations. All of these coincidences pointed to a single answer. "This is a dragon egg." However, its size was rather large. Could it be that its nutrition was especially good?
Yu Yan was startled for a moment as well, but he agreed with this explanation. If it was a God, then that sword and that strange formation, everything made sense.
"It seems like this dragon is about to hatch its shell." Yu Yan said in a low voice. "That's why various abnormalities appeared in the ruins."
"Hatch!" Zhu Yao was startled, and suddenly recalled that Devil. Gods and Devils had always been sworn enemies. Lin Qi did not have his Life Origin Fire, so he could no longer be considered a God. So, another God had to appear to balance things out?
Wait a minute. Dragons had always been difficult to breed, and hatching was even harder. It seemed like this dragon egg had been here for a very long time. Furthermore, Gods had always suppressed demonic beasts with their bloodline, making them unable to resist. However, this dragon egg had appeared in the territory of human practitioners. Adding that barrier, could she interpret it as the reason why the barrier existed in the beginning was to defend against the Devil, and to protect this dragon egg?
Now that the barrier had disappeared, it was definitely the doing of the Devil. Then, the first thing the Devil would do after breaking the barrier would definitely be …
Zhu Yao instantly sucked in a cold breath.
"Master, this place …" It's very dangerous! Before she could even finish, Yu Yan's expression turned cold, as he pulled her behind him.
"Someone's coming!"
The moment his voice fell, a violent gust of wind blew. The space which was initially fiery red, distorted for a moment, as though it was suddenly split open from the middle. A black hole appeared, and a large cloud of black devilish aura floated out from within. A moment later, the figures of two men appeared in the air.
One of them looked unfamiliar, but the dark and cold aura emitted from his body was clearly that of a Devil. And the other one was actually Lin Qi.
"Oh, I never expected that human practitioners could actually enter this place." That Devil coldly glanced over, and when he clearly saw Zhu Yao, he seemed to be startled for a moment. His smile grew even more sinister. "Oh, so it's you! The person who stole my God's Artifact. "
Zhu Yao was stunned. This was the Devil who controlled the beast wave back then.
"You … Why are you here?" Lin Qi evidently recognized Zhu Yao as well, as he took a step back a little out of fear.
"I should be asking you this." Zhu Yao looked at the two of them. "As a descendant of a God, why are you colluding with a Devil?"
Lin Qi's expression paled, and his embarrassment turned into anger. "This has nothing to do with you. Back then, if not for you, how could I have ended up in such a sorry state? No matter what, I will definitely take revenge for this. "
"What's the hurry!? I have a debt to settle with this person as well. " That Devil coldly laughed, as he looked at Zhu Yao. "Today, it won't be the same as last time, easily …"
There was a loud boom!
A bolt of heavenly lightning instantly struck towards him.
"If you want to fight, then fight! Stop spouting so much nonsense!" Why were antagonists always so long-winded?
"You're courting death!" The Devil's expression sank. In a flash, he charged towards Zhu Yao to attack.
Yu Yan's figure turned, as he quickly blocked in front of Zhu Yao. A sword aura carrying a lightning glow, instantly scattered the other party's attack.
The Devil was startled, as though he had never expected that someone would be able to block his attack. His expression turned even darker, and devilish energy flowed out from his body. Turning his head, he waved his hand at Lin Qi. "Go get it!"
Lin Qi hurriedly headed in the direction of the Dragon egg.
"Lin Qi." Zhu Yao immediately sent a bolt of lightning over. "That's a Dragon egg, are you sure you want to hand the God over to the Devil!?"
"Dragon!" Lin Qi was startled, as he fiercely turned his head to stare at the Devil. "How can it be a Dragon egg? You lied to me. "
"It's already too late to know now." He suddenly struck his palm towards Lin Qi, and in an instant, a large amount of devilish energy instantly surrounded him. The luster in Lin Qi's eyes slowly disappeared, and not even a moment later, they turned crimson red. "Go get the egg."
After saying that, his figure flashed, and he attacked Yu Yan with all his might.
"Careful." Yu Yan turned his head and instructed Zhu Yao, before charging forward. In an instant, two rays of light, one black and one white, intertwined with each other.
Lin Qi, however, was like a wooden puppet, as he flew towards the Dragon egg.
Zhu Yao summoned her fan weapon, and flew in front of him. With a wave of her hand, she materialized hundreds of bolts of lightning and attacked. However, those bolts of lightning simply passed through, and were basically unable to hit Lin Qi. His entire body turned into black smoke, and he directly passed by Zhu Yao.
Zhu Yao was startled. Without a physical body, Lin Qi was controlled by the devilish energy.
When the black smoke was ten meters away from the Dragon egg, a ray of white light was suddenly blocked. It was the barrier from before.
Zhu Yao hurried over, and once again materialized a bolt of lightning and struck towards Lin Qi. Although it instantly dispersed the surrounding devilish energy, it once again condensed into a new form. Furthermore, it began to wildly attack the barrier.
If this continued, it would be broken sooner or later.
Zhu Yao gritted her teeth, and immediately circulated her spiritual energy, activating a sealing art. In an instant, ancient runes began to surface around her body. Forcefully activating the God race's seal with spiritual energy, she seemed to immediately feel the backlash of spiritual energy. Her internal organs and divine sense began to ache as though they were being torn apart.
"Yu Yao!" Yu Yan noticed the commotion here, and wanted to rush over. However, he was being held back by the Devil, and was basically unable to advance an inch. "Hurry and stop."
The Dragon egg's barrier had already begun to collapse, and Lin Qi, who had turned into a Devil, was about to enter. Zhu Yao immediately activated the seal. A golden talisman instantly enveloped Lin Qi, and it began to spin at an extreme speed. A large amount of black devilish energy instantly flowed out from his body, disappearing into the golden seal.
Lin Qi fell straight down as well, landing on a stone platform.
"You actually know an ancient sealing art!" The Devil's expression sank, and the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger. "Then all the more reason why I can't let you live." After saying that, he began to attack Yu Yan even more crazily.
Zhu Yao puked out a mouthful of blood. Holding onto her breath, she landed on the stone platform of the Dragon egg. Raising her head, she looked towards the sky. Her master and the Devil's figures could no longer be seen clearly, and only two streaks of light could be seen. The entire space was filled with rumbling thunder. Devilish energy constantly flew about, and the magma was even affected by the mystic arts, causing sparks to fly everywhere.
Her master's original body was not here, and currently, he was merely half a divine sense. However, the opponent was a true Devil. If this continued, they would definitely lose.
What should they do?
At a time like this, it would be great if they had an external helper!
An external helper!
Zhu Yao turned to look at the Dragon egg at the side, and suddenly recalled that she seemed to have heard Shao Bai mention in the past. When a Dragon was born, as long as it absorbed enough heat, it would be fine.
If it was just heat …
Zhu Yao suddenly recalled that feather. The heat of a phoenix was definitely higher than that of magma. If she used that God's Artifact, and added with the Life Origin Fire she obtained from Lin Qi, she might be able to let this Dragon hatch earlier.
Without any hesitation, she immediately took out the Ruling Plume. Circulating her spiritual energy, she instantly materialized a sword of flames. Zhu Yao took a deep breath, and slowly transferred her sword intent into the sword. A moment later, the flames on the sword turned purple.
She waved her hand, and in an instant, the surroundings of the egg began to burn with purple flames.
