"Chi chi chi …"
In the depths of the Flowing Fire Plains, countless experts stood in the air in front of the entrance to the Fire Banyan Ruins. Their gazes were fixed on the terrifyingly hot magma below.
As time slowly passed, the magma at the bottom of the volcano gradually sank. At this rate, it would take less than half a day at most for the magma inside the volcano to completely dry up. At that time, it would be the best time for the experts present to enter the ruins.
Everyone was waiting for that moment to arrive. However …
After more than half the time had passed, the slowly sinking magma at the bottom of the volcano gradually came to a stop. It was as though it had reached its lowest point. Based on the height of the volcano, the magma was at least a thousand feet away from the bottom of the volcano where it had dried up. This scene caused quite a number of experts present to feel astonished.
According to past experience, the magma would dry up and disappear in less than half a day, and below it, there would be a spatial entrance to the ruins. Any expert with a Fire Banyan Token could use it to lead people in. However, the time had gradually exceeded expectations, but the rolling magma did not have the slightest intention of sinking.
"From the looks of it, the magma will not sink any further. Everyone, I wonder if anyone is willing to give it a try. If you can snatch the opportunity to enter the ruins first, your chances of obtaining the treasures will increase by a lot."
Somewhere, an old man in linen robes looked around at everyone present as he stroked his beard with one hand and spoke with a smile.
Everyone present snorted in disdain when they heard this. The number of people present was no less than him regarding the thing within the magma. If they did not have complete confidence, who would dare to casually speak of trying? If they were not careful, not to mention snatching the opportunity, they might not even have the chance to escape.
There were brave people in the world. When the experts present looked at each other and sneered, a middle-aged man who had reached the strength of a Seven Star Source Sect finally stepped out from the crowd. He looked down at the boiling magma below and snorted coldly.
"A bunch of old fogeys. This is just a layer of magma. If you really want to, it won't be difficult to charge down!"
As soon as the shout fell, the burly man's body suddenly rose into the air under countless mocking gazes. He stood high above the mouth of the volcano. The power of the Great Path rapidly condensed and turned into a huge iron ball. It wrapped around his body like an iron wall. Then, it smashed heavily into the magma below!
"Bang!"
The metal ball swiftly sank into the magma amidst a muffled collision sound. It turned into a shadow and swiftly disappeared. Everyone's eyes were uniformly fixed on the spot where the metal ball had landed. It was as though they were waiting for something. However, after ten minutes, they saw that the surface of the magma was still calm. At this moment, some of the fellows who were eyeing the treasure finally could not resist and began to step forward. After hesitating for a moment, each of them used their own methods and swiftly charged towards the magma below.
High up in the sky, only the people from the major forces were still standing quietly. They looked down at the calm magma below and waited quietly. Compared to the lone rangers or the small forces, their attacks were more opportune.
"Puff puff puff puff!"
However, in the next moment, just as the bodies of the experts rushing towards the magma approached the surface of the magma, the calm magma suddenly tumbled. Sounds like waves breaking rang out in the sky. Huge pillars of magma immediately rushed into the sky, and within those pillars of fire were countless Fire-Scaled Lizards!
"Ah!"
What followed was naturally a series of shrill screams that sounded like the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves. Almost at the same time, the remaining forces in the sky did not let go of the opportunity in front of them. They waved their hands, and streams of light shot out. The teams of these forces took advantage of the time when the Fire-Scaled Lizards collided with the other experts in mid-air to smoothly pass through them and plunge into the magma below.
"Ji ji ji ji …"
Immediately after, the countless Fire-Scaled Lizards within the magma rapidly surged out. The leading Origin Venerables of the teams also took action at this moment, easily repelling the charging beasts. In fact, they even used their powerful Great Dao power to open up a space around the teams, preventing the magma from invading them.
It was under such circumstances that the majority of the experts who had barged into the entrance of the Huo Banyan Ruins were forcefully killed. As for the rest, they either used their powerful strength to force their way through, or by some stroke of luck, successfully reached the bottom of the magma. There, a thick energy barrier separated the two worlds. Only the tokens in their hands could allow them to pass through and enter the ruins.
Meanwhile, in the depths of the Huo Banyan Ruins, within a stone cave in the Limestone Valley.
Above the giant Huo Banyan tree, more than half of the enormous energy enveloping the Huo siblings had already disappeared. Only a fist-sized ball of energy remained, slowly hovering above the duo's lower abdomens. As the duo breathed and cultivated in sync, the enormous energy contained within turned into streams of pure Genesis Qi that flowed into the duo's bodies.
Xiao Yan, who was surrounded by four 'Heavenly Flames', was seated cross-legged under the tree. Most of his body was buried under the bright-red, boiling hot lava. There was still boiling hot lava slowly flowing within the cracks. If one were to carefully observe, one would discover that the flowing frequency of the lava was gradually synchronizing with Xiao Yan's breathing. Once the two reached the same level, the swallowing of the flames would come to an end.
Over ten days later.
In the Huo Banyan Ruins, Bai Zijing led the three behind him and finally arrived in front of a giant valley. As he gazed at the mysterious area hidden in the darkness, a smile slowly rose from the corners of Bai Zijing's mouth. With a grasp of his hand, a slightly wrinkled ancient map fell into his hand.
Spreading it open, one could see an extremely conspicuous red dot in the depths of the valley. It was not difficult to imagine that this object was a great treasure!
"Let's go!"
After taking a deep look at the map in his hand, Bai Zijing softly exclaimed. His figure moved, and he led the team towards the depths of the valley.
Moments later, when the group of four neared the sky-covering black fog, Bai Zijing casually tossed out the map. His hands rapidly formed a seal, and a stream of light shot into the map. Next, with a faint tremor, the black fog that covered the valley stealthily dissipated.
When the black fog dissipated, the valley before his eyes became clear. The danger that covered the surroundings also disappeared. Directly in front of his line of sight, a huge stone cave came into view. There was a huge withered tree, and there were two light spots on it. There was also ….
Bai Zijing's gaze slowly shifted downwards. However, when he saw the figure seated under the withered tree, his smiling eyes instantly turned murderous. A low and hoarse voice of anger abruptly resounded in the valley.
"Xiao Yan?"
