Gu Feiyang was the first to walk to the front. He cupped his hands together and said, "Miss, we are cultivators. There is no need for us to engage in pointless killing, so we are willing to take a step back."
Xia Ji smiled coldly. "At least you know what to do."
"Lotus Heart Unfettered Pill, one for each of you. You don't need me to teach you what to do, right?"
Gu Feiyang sighed. "The timing is unfavorable. There's nothing we can do."
He pretended to be at ease as he picked up a Lotus Heart Unfettered Pill and swallowed it. Seeing Gu Feiyang in such a state, the geniuses of the other six countries were even more disheartened.
Although they didn't know what the Lotus Heart Unfettered Pill was, they were certain that it was definitely not something good.
It was just a pill that the demonesses were using to control them.
Once consumed, it would definitely leave behind a huge hidden danger that would cause endless trouble in the future.
However, if they didn't consume it, they wouldn't be able to pass this hurdle.
An Ice Heart Lotus Water Lily landed in front of Gu Feiyang.
Qin Yi, who had been observing from the shadows, wasn't surprised to see Gu Feiyang's actions. Gu Feiyang's surrender at this crucial moment was a huge psychological blow to the others, even though it couldn't be seen.
Qin Yi could clearly see that the remaining fighting spirit of the seven countries' geniuses had instantly disappeared after the Jin Luo Nation's Yin-Yang Academy geniuses surrendered.
"Could it be that, apart from Gu Feiyang, Mu Tiange and that girl have been secretly subdued by these demonesses?"
Qin Yi was inwardly puzzled. However, whether the geniuses of the seven countries surrendered or fought to the death, Qin Yi didn't plan to continue participating.
The reason why he was still here was not because of the geniuses of the seven countries, but because of the core island surrounded by the six reefs.
Qin Yi's gaze never left that place.
At this moment, Qin Yi's divine sense felt an indescribable fluctuation. In his line of sight, the core island seemed to be faintly shaking.
This shaking was very slight at first, but it quickly spread to the surrounding six reefs.
The true disciples on the island also came to their senses.
Even the demonesses of the Azure Lotus Cult were taken by surprise. In just a few breaths of time, the shaking was unstoppable.
"Not good, could it be that the earth veins are loosening? Is an earthquake coming?"
A terrifying thought flashed through Qin Yi's mind. If there was an earthquake at this critical juncture, this terrifying lava lake would definitely overturn the seas. Once the even more terrifying underground volcano erupted, perhaps all the living beings in this area would be completely devoured.
The demonesses of the Green Lotus School clearly did not expect this turn of events. Although their masks blocked their expressions, traces of fear could still be seen in their eyes.
Xia Ji, on the other hand, was surprisingly calm.
"There's no need to panic. This isn't our first time here. The rumors about the treasures in this secret realm were not false. Otherwise, how could he have tricked those idiots from the seven nations into coming here? It must be a sign that the treasure is about to appear. "
There was no fear in Xia Ji's eyes. Instead, she stared at the core island with great anticipation. Her beautiful face was filled with anticipation.
The extent of the shaking was obviously increasing.
Even the rocks on the walls around the underground palace were falling down one after another. The disciples of the seven nations on the reefs were scared out of their wits. The reefs under their feet were falling off in large chunks as if they were about to be melted by the lava.
One of the more unlucky fellows, because his position was relatively outside, the rock under his feet directly fell off, and with a loud bang, he fell into the boiling magma.
With a cry of agony, the guy's body was engulfed by the boiling lava. In his deathbed struggle, he instinctively stretched out his hand to ask for help.
However, when his arm emerged from the depths of the lava, it was already a ghastly white bone.
In the next moment, all the flesh and blood on his body were instantly devoured by the high temperature, leaving only a set of white bones that rose and fell as the lava spurted out.
Not long after, the white bones fell apart and were completely engulfed by the lava.
Seeing this terrifying scene, the faces of the geniuses of the seven nations on the reefs turned pale.
"Surrender, we surrender."
"Miss, we've already taken the Unfettered Pill. Quick, activate the water lilies and let us out. "
Obviously, this sudden turn of events had completely aroused the desire for survival of the geniuses of the seven nations. They had even forgotten that their original intention of coming here was to search for treasures in the secret realm.
Faced with the panicking Green Lotus Sect disciples, Xia Ji was much calmer.
"Release all those who have taken the Unfettered Pill."
"Those who have not taken the Unfettered Pill and are trying to fish in troubled waters, kill without mercy!"
At this time, taking the Unfettered Lotus Pill was equivalent to opening a path to survival. No one dared to be negligent. The disciples of the seven nations who had been scheming threw the Unfettered Lotus Pill into their mouths.
In a moment, everyone had swallowed the Unfettered Lotus Pill.
Soon, the water lilies quickly brought them out of the reefs. Almost the moment they left the reefs, the outer six reefs collapsed in large chunks, falling off and plunging into the lava lake. Apart from the billowing bubbles, there was no sound at all.
When these people had just come ashore, almost half of the six reefs had already sunk. Only the surface layer was exposed. Obviously, the sinking had not stopped.
In a few breaths, the six reefs had completely sunk as if they had never existed.
The faces of the geniuses of the seven nations were pale. Standing on the shore and feeling the shaking of the world, all of them wished they could grow wings and fly out of this underground palace. They no longer cared about the secret realm or the treasures.
Xia Ji waved her hand. "Bring them down."
Just as Xia Ji finished speaking, six whirlpools suddenly appeared at the bottom of the lake from the spot where the six islands had sunk.
The whirlpools rose continuously, sweeping up the lava and rushing up to a height of several hundred feet before crashing down again.
Splash! Splash!
The splattering lava swept up to the shore. A few people standing on the periphery were accidentally affected, and they all wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves.
Following that, not only did the core island that was originally protected by the six reefs not sink, it even showed signs of rising.
This island kept rising to the surface, revealing more and more of its features.
This island was as wide as a few hundred acres. When the entire island completely rose to the surface, something unbelievable happened.
There was actually a palace on that island. The palace that had been sleeping in the lava for who knew how many years did not seem to have been eroded at all. It was completely intact, and one could not even feel the changes brought about by the passage of time.
