The Void Inferno Prison was one of the most dangerous places in the Chaotic Universe. It wasn't particularly dangerous, but it wasn't safe either. Transcendents would die instantly if they entered, and Saints had a fifty percent chance of dying if they entered.
If one was lucky, not only would they be able to come out alive, but they would also be able to obtain some treasures like Void Flame Prison Crystals that could be sold for Chaotic Divine Crystals. If one's luck was average, they wouldn't be able to obtain any Void Flame Prison Crystals, and if one's luck was very bad, not only would they not be able to obtain any Void Flame Prison Crystals, they would simply die inside.
Chen Zong joined a temporary team of five people. Other than Chen Zong, the other four had entered the Void Inferno Prison at least once.
The one with the highest cultivation was called Lin Shuang. She was a female human cultivator and a pinnacle upper-level Saint. The other two were twin brothers called Wu Yue and Wu Ming. They were also upper-level Saints and were good at attacking together. They were very powerful and were not inferior to pinnacle upper-level Saints.
The fourth one was called Han Qi, an Intermediate Saint, and the last one was Chen Zong, who reported his cultivation as an Intermediate Saint.
Indeed, in terms of cultivation, Chen Zong was an Intermediate Saint.
"Brother Chen, this is your first time here, so be careful. The Void Inferno Prison is very dangerous, mainly from the magma pool," Han Qi said to Chen Zong as they walked side by side.
The name Chen Zong was once famous in the Ancient Sealed World of the inner universe, and was also once the champion of the outer universe.
But now, the outer and inner universes had become history. Even if it was only a thousand years apart, it had become history, history that was studied.
The Peerless Sword Saint Chen Zong was once a popular name, but it had become a thing of the past. Perhaps, only those who had studied the former universe would know, but there weren't many people like that.
Among the five, Chen Zong and Han Qi were the weakest in terms of cultivation. As for who was the strongest …
The information Chen Zong bought mentioned that the source of danger in the Void Inferno Prison was related to magma. Magma was everywhere in the Void Inferno Prison, forming magma pools and even magma lakes. The temperature of the magma was extremely high, and it was shockingly hot. It could easily burn and incinerate everything.
If a Lower Saint fell into the magma and didn't immediately escape, they wouldn't be able to withstand it and would be incinerated to ashes within three breaths. An Intermediate Saint could withstand it longer, but only for ten breaths, and an Upper Saint could withstand it for thirty breaths at most.
If he had some protective treasures, he would be able to resist for a longer time. As for how long, that would depend on the ability of the protective treasures.
As for True Saint Realm experts, they could withstand falling into the magma under normal circumstances. However, the magma of the Nether Inferno Prison was only the most basic danger. The truly terrifying danger came from a unique life form in the magma. This life form was called the Magma Beast.
"Let's stop here." It was Lin Shuang's fifth time coming to the Void Inferno Prison. In the first four times, she had gained something, and in some cases, she didn't. She had discovered some mysteries. She pointed at a magma lake that was dozens of miles long. "There are Void Inferno Crystals in this magma lake, but there are also Magma Beasts living there. The most powerful ones should be Upper Magma Beasts."
Upper Magma Beasts corresponded to Upper Saints. With their strength, as long as they didn't encounter a large group of Upper Magma Beasts, they could still withstand two or three of them.
But their goal wasn't to kill Magma Beasts, but to retrieve the Void Inferno Crystals hidden under the magma lake.
"Everyone, I'll enter the magma lake first to retrieve the Void Inferno Crystals. I'll come out as soon as possible. If there are Magma Beasts chasing after me, I'll need you to stop them." Lin Shuang glanced at them and said. Her cultivation was the highest among the five, so she should be the fastest.
"Don't worry," the Wu brothers immediately responded. Chen Zong and Han Qi also nodded.
Lin Shuang activated the Fire-defending Hoop on her hand. A layer of light immediately spread out and covered her entire body. The Fire-defending Hoop was used to resist the invasion of flames and isolate the impact of magma. Although it couldn't last long, it could last for more than 100 breaths.
In an instant, Lin Shuang jumped directly into the magma lake and was instantly swallowed up. Everyone immediately stared at her, waiting for her to appear.
Time passed breath by breath. After about 30 breaths, a figure rushed out of the magma lake. It was Lin Shuang.
"There are Magma Beasts. Get ready to attack." Lin Shuang said as soon as she appeared. The moment she finished speaking, a huge figure rushed out of the magma lake, bringing with it layers of magma waves.
The figure was shaped like a giant python. It was as thick as a bucket, but its body was very strange. It wasn't made of flesh and blood, but seemed to be made of countless crushed charcoal mixed with magma. It looked black on the surface, but it was broken into countless pieces. Between the broken pieces, the red light of magma shot out. It flowed endlessly like blood, exuding a terrifying aura.
"The aura of an upper-level Saint. A high-level Magma Beast."
"Kill!"
The Wu brothers attacked at once. Their long sabers tore through the sky and slashed mercilessly at the high-level Magma Beast. The Magma Python's eyes were extremely red. Its eyeballs seemed to be made of rubies, emitting a terrifying cold light. It was so hot that it seemed to be able to burn everything. Then it opened its huge mouth and spat out a stream of magma.
As soon as the stream of magma was spat out, it seemed to be able to burn everything. It directly shattered the saber light and attacked the Wu brothers.
"Combine!" The Wu brothers immediately attacked again. Their long sabers slashed out, and the saber light merged into one. It turned into an even brighter saber light that cut through the stream of magma and slashed at the Magma Python.
At the same time, Lin Shuang also took the opportunity to turn around and slash back. The Sword Qi was white and blue, and it emanated a shocking chill. It seemed to be able to freeze everything around it as it slashed at the Magma Python.
Strictly speaking, an environment like the Nether Inferno would restrain cultivators who cultivated and comprehended the Way of Water, Way of Ice, and Way of Wood. But at the same time, cultivators of the Way of Water and Way of Ice could better threaten the Magma Beasts here, as long as they were strong enough.
Water and fire, and ice and fire were opposites, but it was impossible to say which side would definitely win over the other. Everything depended on which side was stronger. Water could extinguish fire, and fire could melt water.
Chen Zong and Han Qi didn't attack. The Magma Python was hit and fell into the magma lake, but it immediately rose up. More Magma Pythons followed, but they were all at the middle and low level.
… …
This time, Lin Shuang had obtained three Nether Inferno Gems. They were quite valuable. Each Nether Inferno Gem was worth ten Chaotic Divine Gems, so three Nether Inferno Gems were worth thirty Chaotic Divine Gems. However, Lin Shuang had taken the risk of entering the magma lake to obtain them, so according to the principle of distribution, Lin Shuang received half.
As for the remaining half, Chen Zong and Han Qi were the weakest, so they were the weakest under normal circumstances. As a result, they each received ten percent, while the Wu brothers received thirty percent.
Han Qi found this to be normal, and Chen Zong had no objections either. Chen Zong's plan was very simple. He would first find a temporary group to enter the Nether Inferno. After all, he had never been here before, so it was always better to have someone lead the way.
Once they were familiar with the environment, they would find an opportunity to leave the group. This was also why Chen Zong had found a temporary group.
The number of Chaotic Divine Gems Chen Zong needed was not ten, twenty, or one hundred or two hundred. He needed more. Therefore, unless he could obtain a large number of Nether Inferno Gems, such as several hundred pieces, he would not be able to obtain them.
However, there were three grades of Nether Inferno Gems. The Nether Inferno Gems were the lowest grade. The higher grade was called the Nether Inferno Saint Crystal, which was worth one hundred Chaotic Divine Gems. It was also Chen Zong's main target. As for the highest grade, it was called the Nether Inferno Divine Gem, which was worth one thousand Chaotic Divine Gems.
If he could obtain several Nether Inferno Divine Gems, it would be worth several thousand Chaotic Divine Gems, which would be enough for him to use for quite a long time.
However, Chen Zong planned to earn enough Chaotic Divine Gems here directly, so that he would not have to travel around in the future.
Compared to other cultivators, Chen Zong was less reliant on the Chaotic Divine Scripture because other cultivators could also use Chaotic Divine Gems to cultivate other than using Chaotic Divine Gems as currency. Chen Zong had no need for that.
The second Magma Lake was entered by Wu Yue after activating the Fire-controlling Ring.
Whoever risked entering the Magma Lake to look for Nether Inferno Divine Gems would get fifty percent of the value.
Generally, a Magma Lake was only suitable for entering once in a short period of time. This was because the Magma Beasts living in the Magma Lake would become active after a period of time.
The active Magma Beasts were very terrifying because there were a large number of Magma Beasts lurking in each Magma Lake. It was very difficult to kill Magma Beasts in the Magma Lake.
They entered one Magma Lake after another, but they did not go deep. Instead, they wandered around the periphery.
The two brothers, Lin Shuang and Wu Yue, took turns to dive into the Magma Lake to search. Sometimes, they were unlucky and could not find one Nether Inferno Divine Gem. Sometimes, they were lucky and could find four.
Gradually, they had found more than twenty Nether Inferno Divine Gems.
"Flying Frost Sword Saint Lin Shuang, Dragon Slaying Double Blades Wu Yue and Wu Ming. Haha, what a coincidence." A loud voice rang out, and the laughter shook the surroundings. It was a very tall and imposing figure that was over two meters tall. His scarlet hair seemed to be burning, and his skin was dark red. There were strange patterns all over his body.
He held a dark red staff that was as thick as an arm. It was covered with strange patterns, just like the surface of a Magma Beast. The aura it gave off was very shocking.
There were two other figures behind him. They were also burly, but one of them wore dark red Magma Gloves, and the other held a Magma Warhammer.
"It's someone from the Fire Saint Tribe. He's Huo Gang."
"Why did we meet him?"
Lin Shuang and Wu Yue's expressions changed. Their eyes were filled with vigilance. They immediately called for Chen Zong and Han Qi to retreat, quickly distancing themselves from the three people.
"Why is our luck so bad?" Han Qi's expression was also bitter.
Countless cultivators would enter danger zones and forbidden zones to explore and obtain treasures and opportunities. Danger zones and forbidden zones were filled with danger. The source of danger was not only the special environment of the zone itself, but also the unique life forms that were nurtured there. For example, the Magma Beasts in the Nether Inferno Divine Gems. The third type of danger came from other cultivators who also entered to explore.
