Chun Songzi smiled again, and said, "Abode Master, you might not know this, but the Vital Energy Sect has sent a Nascent Soul True Lord to handle this matter personally. The Abode Master had killed Die Shazi and the other man, and had already formed an irreconcilable enmity with the Vital Energy Sect. Whether you let the Fated Child go or not, there was no turning back for you. We know that the Abode Master's power is astonishing, but if you haven't reached the Nascent Soul realm, you're still an ant. The power of a Nascent Soul True Lord is not something that can be resisted by simply having more Core Qi. "
Lu Sheng didn't say anything. He just narrowed his eyes and stared at the man, trying to see what he had to say.
Chun Songzi smiled and said, "So, at this moment, only my Earth King Hall can save Abode Master's life. In other words, in this world, the only force that can go against the Vital Energy Sect, or even dare to do so, is our Earth King Hall. "
Lu Sheng exhaled.
"Then, where is Sir God Peng Jun now?"
Chun Songzi shook his head slightly.
"Cave Master, you're mistaken. The Godly Lord won't reveal his true form. However, he'll secretly help you escape from the Vital Energy Sect's True Lord. Of course, you have to pay a price for this. You have to hand over the Earth Lake Sword in your hands. Also, as an act of surrender, you'll have to kill that Du Guangchi with your own hands. In any case, the Vital Energy Sect has already decided to eliminate the Cave Master as soon as possible. In truth, the outcome would be the same whether you killed Du Guangchi or not. Cave Master need not worry. "
"What guarantee do you have that you'll definitely take action?" Lu Sheng asked again.
Hearing this, Chun Songzi immediately burst into laughter. "Now that things have come to this, could it be that Cave Master has any other choice? 'No matter what, the Vital Energy Sect won't let you go. Their Nascent Soul True Lord is already on his way. He should be able to reach the ocean in half a month's time. At that time, it would be too late for Cave Master to agree to us. "
"Half a month?" Lu Sheng didn't reply. Instead, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, thinking about all the possible scenarios.
Seeing this, Chun Songzi knew that he could not force him too much.
"It seems that Cave Master is rather hesitant. How about this, I'll stop this trip for now. I'll come again two days later. That time will be the true final chance. Cave Master, think about it carefully. Right now, there aren't many paths you can choose."
With a sharp laugh, Chun Songzi slowly retreated. His body gradually turned translucent as he flew into the distance.
Everything fell silent once more. For a time, only the sound of waves and wind could be heard.
Lu Sheng also stood quietly on the spot, deep in thought.
"Ah!!"
Suddenly, a scream came from afar. The screams stopped abruptly, as if someone had pressed the pause button. From the beginning to the end, it did not take more than a second.
Lu Sheng's thoughts were interrupted by the scream. He lowered his head and saw the seawater in front of him tumbling, and a familiar figure slowly emerged.
This person was Chun Songzi, who had just left. His forehead and body were pierced with countless bloody holes, and the Inner Core in his lower abdomen was completely dug out. Not only did the Inner Core disappear, even the flesh around it was hollowed out.
"You … you …!!" Chun Song Zi's eyes were ferocious as he stared at Lu Sheng, as if he wanted to say something.
"Haven't you ever thought about it?" Lu Sheng's expression was calm. "I even dared to kill a member of the Vital Energy Sect. Would I be afraid of a mere Earth King Palace's threat?"
"So … far … you …" Chun Songzi was indignant, and struggled for the last time. He was clearly very far away from Lu Sheng. How could he …
"The thoughts of a weakling." With a single thought from Lu Sheng, the seawater around him quickly drowned Chun Songzi.
"No one can leave safely after threatening me." His expression was calm. He grabbed with his hand, and a pitch-black Inner Core the size of an egg shot out from the seawater.
This was the Devil Path Inner Core that Chun Songzi had cultivated for many years.
"I must hurry. Earth King Palace, Vital Energy Sect … The Treasure refined here is one with me. Perhaps I can bring it back to Great Yin for use."
He dived down, and in the blink of an eye, he dove straight into the deep sea.
As his Core Qi controlled the seawater around him, Lu Sheng's diving speed was no slower than flying. Soon, he reached a terrifying depth of nearly 8,000 meters.
The Core Qi around him was being consumed at a rate that would shock an ordinary Core Formation cultivator.
However, this was nothing to Lu Sheng. It was just a drop in the ocean.
He was almost at the bottom. His surroundings were pitch-black without any light. The bottom of the ocean was uneven, and the height was uneven.
Lu Sheng followed his senses to the earth fire, and quickly found the eruption point of the earth fire vein. In other words, it was the volcano's crater.
The volcano's crater was dark red. The temperature of the water around it reached a shocking 200 degrees Celsius. The entire crater was like an irregular, damaged gap. In the center, golden lava flowed slowly, and spread through the dark red like a spider web.
Lu Sheng swam slowly above the lava. The high temperature and high pressure around him were offset by the cold Core Qi seawater.
"This is it."
He pointed at the lava slowly. The crack in the golden lava immediately widened.
Lu Sheng dove straight into the lava. The Golden Core in his body circulated madly, and swallowed and absorbed the vast amount of heat that gushed out from the lava.
The vast power of earth fire from the planet with the earth vein was being drawn out by Lu Sheng without end.
However, due to the lack of a Skill formula, the earth heat was currently being offset by the vast Core Qi in his Golden Core. They were both wearing each other down.
"Deep Blue." Lu Sheng did not hesitate. He quickly summoned the modifier.
The light blue frame appeared in front of him, and his gaze quickly fell on the second frame. He pressed the overall modify button, and quickly looked behind the frame.
'It's working!' The derivation button that Lu Sheng could not see before this suddenly appeared.
He did not know if it was because he had absorbed more cultivation methods and experience, or because he was in an environment where the earth fire was keeping him warm. Lu Sheng did not hesitate. He quickly pressed the derivation button behind the second frame.
"Boom!"
In an instant, his mind trembled violently. A great amount of information and cultivation method routes surged madly into his consciousness. This derived cultivation method that was based on the Triad Brilliant Nether Collection and combined with other True Skills had finally evolved to the Nascent Soul tier.
The steps, methods, requirements, and conditions for nurturing life force were all deduced and perfected.
His Mental Energy was being depleted. It was being depleted at a rate of 100 units per minute.
A vast amount of Core Qi was being condensed, and turned into a blue substance that resembled liquid. It filled Lu Sheng's Dantian.
This substance quickly condensed into a small blue person the size of a walnut. It sat cross-legged in Lu Sheng's lower abdomen.
This small person breathed in and out blue mist. Its eyes were tightly shut, and it looked lifelike. A mysterious life force was faintly nurturing in its chest and heart.
It was clear that it was not alive yet. However, once the life force was nurtured, this body would eventually become a second body that could truly replace his physical body.
At this moment, the contents of the modifier's frame were slowly undergoing a fundamental change.
"Unknown cultivation method, Early-stage Nascent Soul. (Special trait. 5,000 times Nascent Qi.)"
He did not have any fancy abilities, nor did he have any other special abilities. After attaining the Nascent Soul, the only difference between Lu Sheng and the other Nascent Soul True Lords was his Nascent Qi, which was five thousand times stronger.
To put it simply, his Nascent Qi was 5,000 times that of other Nascent Soul True Lords!
In the golden lava, Lu Sheng stretched his limbs. His body shone with the same dazzling blue light as it fought against the golden light. He sank slowly. His body was gradually sinking into the depths of the lava.
His surroundings were filled with a dazzling golden color. Apart from Lu Sheng, there was nothing else solid around him.
'This is easy …' Lu Sheng felt the Core Qi in his body that was undergoing a rapid transformation. He felt neither sorrow nor joy in his heart.
He was already a Divine Lord's spirit to begin with. He stood at a height that was at least on the same level as a Nascent Soul. Cultivating this body to a similar level was nothing to him.
'Next, it's time to sacrifice and refine the Sea-overturning Orb.' He slowly took out the Sea-overturning Orb from his sleeve and tossed it forward lightly.
"Rumble!"
The entire lava world suddenly sank.
This time, the might of the Sea-overturning Orb far surpassed that of when it was at Core Formation. The Sea-overturning Orb shot out of the volcanic crater on its own. Large amounts of seawater from the deep sea surged madly into it along with the pressure.
With the support of endless Nascent Qi, the Sea-overturning Orb's rate of absorbing seawater had increased to a thousand tons per second in just half a minute. Moreover, it was still increasing rapidly.
In the deep sea, with the Sea-overturning Orb as the center, endless dark blue seawater surged down from above, while golden and dark red lava gushed out from below.
The blue and red colors were exceptionally distinct.
Due to the Sea-overturning Orb's rate of absorption being too fast, a faint vacuum appeared between the lava and seawater.
Lu Sheng flew out of the lava lightly. He stood at the bottom of the sea and looked up at the unusual phenomenon.
"Absorb … With my current supernatural power, let's see how much seawater you can absorb in the end." In the darkness, Lu Sheng's eyes shone with faint blue light. His entire being was quiet and cold. The tranquil surroundings of the sea formed a stark contrast with the violent scene of the Sea-overturning Orb not far away.
"Buzz …"
Suddenly, the bottom of the sea shook.
After a few stimulations, the volcano was finally on the verge of erupting. Many dark red cracks slowly appeared on the ground around it.
"Just in time. Help me refine the Sea-overturning Orb together." Lu Sheng raised his hand and performed a hand seal. He tossed a jade box out from his sleeve.
The jade box opened automatically in the seawater. A streak of purple light flew out from within and swiftly entered the surface of the Sea-overturning Orb in midair.
Suddenly, a ball of twisted pitch-black flames automatically ignited beside Lu Sheng. This flame had no temperature. It was unusually well-hidden as if it did not exist.
However, when Lu Sheng touched it, he felt a piercing pain all over his body.
'Earth Yin Fire? Has the Seventh Tribulation erupted? After breaking through, I can completely stabilize my Nascent Soul Early-stage. If I can't break through, I can only fall back to being a Golden Core Seventh Tribulation cultivator. '
'The Earth Yin Fire that specializes in destroying spirits?' Lu Sheng lowered his head and looked at his legs that were starting to burn. The Heavenly Devil's main body's spirit deception was finally ineffective this time. It was clear that deception naturally had a price and a time limit.
Lu Sheng closed his eyes. He was silent for a moment before he opened them again. The surrounding black flames trembled and instantly disappeared.
Only then did he start walking forward.
However, he had only taken a few steps.
"Boom!"
Even more huge black flames ignited beside him. He was not the only one. Everything within a few hundred meters of him was affected by him and engulfed by the black flames at the same time.
Large amounts of black flames wrapped around him, preventing him from moving at all. Countless transparent claws reached out from the flames and gripped Lu Sheng 'legs tightly.
Faint moans and wails spread from behind the claws.
"Nothing can stop me." Lu Sheng extended his hand. "Not even the Seventh Tribulation."
He pressed his palm down.
"Boom!"
The seabed within a few hundred meters of him sank by one meter. All the black flames exploded and dissipated. With the volcano as the center, a huge shockwave spread rapidly in all directions.
