The East Extreme Devil Cave was a legend to the ordinary disciples of the East Extreme Devil Sect.
Although it was a legend, there were very few people who could give a specific introduction to the East Extreme Devil Cave. This was because very few people had entered it, and even fewer people were able to come out from it. What made people feel even more helpless was that those Devil Sect disciples who came out from the East Extreme Devil Cave would never tell their fellow disciples about the situation inside.
The more it was like this, the more mysterious the East Extreme Devil Cave was in the hearts of the disciples of the East Extreme Devil Sect. They yearned to be able to enter the East Extreme Devil Cave. As for the dangers they would encounter after entering, the disciples of the East Extreme Devil Sect didn't take it to heart.
Although those who came out of the East Extreme Devil Cave would not speak of the situation inside, everyone could at least see one thing, and that was that the cultivation of those who came out of the East Extreme Devil Cave had increased by a large margin. Moreover, they would be taken special care of by the experts of the Sect, and would be regarded as the future pillars of the Sect.
For an ordinary disciple of a third-rate sect like the East Pole Devil Sect, it was extremely difficult for them to advance by one level. Most of them had to endure for many years before they could do so. Entering the East Pole Devil Cave was an excellent opportunity for them to quickly increase their cultivation and position in the sect.
For a devil cultivator who didn't lack adventurous spirit, taking a risk for such an opportunity wouldn't refuse.
Almost all the cultivators who were about to enter the East Extreme Devil Cave, including Fang Yu, had faces full of anticipation and unconcealable excitement. Only Xiao Lingyu's face was relatively calm, without joy or worry.
However, what Xiao Lingyu didn't expect was that the entrance to the East Extreme Devil Cave was actually on this small island in the center of the lake, and it was inside the East Extreme Devil Palace.
The entrance was in a side hall of the East Extreme Devil Palace. A pitch-black underground cave had gradually appeared under the joint casting of several True Devil Stage experts of the East Extreme Devil Sect. Xiao Lingyu and the others were waiting in the hall while staring at the entrance.
After a full hour, the seemingly light stone slab that covered the entrance of the cave was completely removed by several True Devil Stage experts.
During the process of being moved, the slate was wrapped in a glow. When it was completely removed, the glow suddenly disappeared. However, the Devil Sect Leader and the other True Devil experts did not stop casting. They were trying their best to control the slate. It was as if the moment they relaxed, the slate would block the hole again.
"The entrance has been opened. Follow me in. Remember, you must follow me from the beginning. Don't wander around and don't move."
Old Man Li from the Hall of Records spoke in a low voice before taking the lead and jumping into the pitch-black cave entrance.
First, the three Heavenly Demon Stage disciples, including Fang Yu, followed by the three Earth Demon Stage disciples who had obtained the top three positions in the competition. They all looked nervous as they jumped down. Xiao Lingyu only hesitated for a moment at the entrance of the cave before she also jumped into the darkness.
Her body slowly descended. After about ten breaths, Xiao Lingyu finally felt her feet touch the ground.
Just as Xiao Lingyu landed on the ground, before he had the time to check his surroundings, he heard a loud bang coming from above. The faint light that was originally projected from above suddenly disappeared, and the surroundings became even darker.
An Earth Demon Stage disciple subconsciously released his True Fire to illuminate the area. However, just as his True Fire was released, it was extinguished.
"Pa!"
A crisp sound came from the front. Then, a palm-sized light appeared in front of them.
"Don't try to use other methods to create light. You can only use this here, and there's only one of it."
Old Man Li's voice came from the ball of light.
Everyone took a closer look and realized that Old Man Li was holding a dirt-gray candle in his hand. The light was coming from the candle after it was lit.
It was obvious that the candle was not an ordinary item. It was probably specially made.
"Follow me to the end of this path, and then there will be light. Although this path is not long, if you don't want to die, be honest and follow me. Don't make any unnecessary movements or words."
Old Man Li said as he held the candle and slowly walked forward. Everyone, including Xiao Lingyu, followed closely behind, not daring to be slow.
Whoosh!!
After walking for less than the time it took to drink a cup of tea, a demonic shadow suddenly pounced from the side, bringing with it a strong gust of wind. Everyone's faces changed and their hearts trembled.
"Hmph! Beast, get out of my way! "
Old Man Li, who was leading the way, shouted loudly. The candle's light suddenly spat out a fire snake, meeting the demonic shadow head-on.
Crack!!
The demonic shadow let out a strange cry, as if it was very afraid of the fire snake. It immediately turned around and fled.
Old Man Li's expression was gloomy as he waited in place for a while. Then, he said, "Alright, everyone continue forward."
Just like this, they walked for a full two hours. Old Man Li used the candle's fire snake to scare away seven or eight demonic shadows. Only then did everyone stop in front of a small bridge.
Below the small bridge was a pool of lava. Billowing smoke rose from below, and waves of heat boiled.
The small bridge was indeed small. It was only a foot wide, and could only allow one person to pass.
The lava was no less than five hundred feet away from the small bridge, but the lava that occasionally shot up from below could reach up to a thousand feet high.
In fact, there was more than one small bridge. This was because there were more than ten stalagmite-like pillars in the lava pool. The small bridge was built between these pillars.
"When you cross this small bridge, the bridge will sway. You must stand firm. While ensuring that you don't fall, you must not think of flying as a means of transportation. Also, there is one more thing I need to tell you in advance. The more people there are on this small bridge, the harder it will sway. It can also be said that the fewer people there are, the safer it will be. "
After his explanation, Old Man Li took the lead and moved his feet onto the small bridge that seemed to be made of metal chains. The originally motionless small bridge immediately began to tremble slightly.
Old Man Li's words had a deeper meaning. None of the people present were stupid. They all understood that if the bridge swayed too much and they couldn't hold on, they could attack other sect members to relieve their pressure.
On this bridge, if it was difficult to even stabilize one's body, it would be very difficult to defend against a sneak attack. Once they were attacked, they definitely couldn't stand in place. Their feet were bound to leave the bridge …
Xiao Lingyu didn't understand why Old Man Li had explained this. Wasn't he purposely reminding everyone to kill each other in times of danger?
To be able to fight their way into the top three in their respective realms, the people here were naturally not easy to deal with. However, no one was willing to walk in front.
Everyone knew that if they walked in front, they would be vulnerable to sneak attacks from behind. No one dared to attack Old Man Li, so no one was willing to follow behind him.
"Haha, if I reach the other side and you haven't followed, then don't even think about coming over. In a moment, demonic creatures will fly up from below. If you are too far away, I won't be able to protect you."
Old Man Li smiled as he spoke, and began to walk forward with large strides.
While everyone was still digesting the meaning of these words, Fang Yu had already stepped onto the bridge, following closely behind Old Man Li.
At this moment, everyone realized that if a powerful demonic creature flew up from below, whoever was closest to Old Man Li would be safer.
This was a matter that could easily cause people to feel conflicted, and Fang Yu was the first person to make a choice.
The others quickly followed. Xiao Lingyu was the last one to step onto the bridge, but he still had a calm expression on his face.
Everyone was on the bridge. The small bridge was indeed shaking violently, but everyone was still able to stand firm.
Just as Old Man Li had said, the closer they got to the middle, the more the bridge shook. The three Earth Demon Stage disciples were already showing signs of not being able to hold on.
Everyone was still pushing forward. Although there were times when they almost fell, no one dared to attack their fellow disciples. They were all very restrained. Occasionally, a Heavenly Demon Stage disciple would help an Earth Demon Stage disciple.
In front of Xiao Lingyu was an Earth Demon Stage disciple, and when everyone reached the middle, he kept swaying. The excitement and anticipation he had before entering the East Extreme Devil Cave had completely disappeared from his face, and in its place was a deep fear.
Whoosh!!
A pillar of lava shot up from below, right in the middle of the small bridge. Other than Old Man Li, everyone was nervous, and the bridge shook even more violently.
"Roar!!!"
Just as the pillar of lava was about to hit the ground, a demonic beast's roar suddenly came from within. Then, a demonic creature bathed in fire, as if it only had one head, appeared and pounced towards everyone.
"Beast, get out of my way!"
Although Old Man Li's body was also shaking violently, he still had the candle in his hand shoot out a fire snake.
Although its entire body was bathed in fire, the demonic creature was still very afraid of the fire snake. It only spat out a mouthful of lava at everyone on the small bridge, and then quickly fell down.
The demonic creature retreated in fear, but the lava it spat out made everyone's bodies even more unstable. And because everyone's steps were not in sync, the small bridge shook even more violently.
"Ah!!"
An Earth Demon Stage disciple, because he couldn't stabilize his body, lost his footing and fell, and let out a miserable cry.
Originally, Earth Demon Stage cultivators weren't very weak, but after their feet left the small bridge, they couldn't keep their bodies afloat, and could only fall rapidly. Finally, they fell into the lava pool, and after a few flops, they disappeared.
No one had the time to look or save their fellow disciple. Although there was one less person, the bridge was still shaking violently. Everyone found it difficult to adjust their steps after being frightened by the demonic creature. Only Xiao Lingyu and Old Man Li were barely able to stabilize their bodies.
As for the Earth Demon Stage disciple in front of Xiao Lingyu, he felt that he couldn't hold on any longer, but he didn't want to fall into the lava pool and be burned alive. In his panic, he first glanced at his fellow disciple in front of him, and then with a burst of energy, he was about to launch a sneak attack.
However, just as this Earth Demon Stage disciple was about to make a move, Xiao Lingyu acted first. She didn't launch a sneak attack, but instead reached out to support him.
