Chapter 186

The presence of the mysterious small tree had subdued all the plant-type demon beasts on the fifth layer of the ruins, leaving them with no thought of resistance whatsoever.

Chu Mu happily gathered the surrounding herbs.

"These aged ones can be picked first, the rest can be left here to be cultivated..."

"Then, when the time comes, we can pick and use them as needed—this way, we won't waste their medicinal potency."

While gathering, Chu Mu also explained her plans to Fang Xu.

Clearly, at this moment, she had already regarded this ruin as her own medicinal garden, preparing to implement a sustainable development strategy.

"Mu, how are your alchemy skills now?" Fang Xu asked curiously.

He hadn't paid attention to Chu Mu's alchemy skills for a long time, merely sensing that her current strength was still below that of a Martial Venerable.

"What do you think, brother?" Chu Mu carefully dug out a stalk of purple orchid spirit grass before her, grinning as she looked at Fang Xu.

"Sixth grade?"

Fang Xu guessed as high as he possibly could.

Because even Chu Mu's master, Xu Changqing, the steward of the Hundred Herbs Hall, was currently only a sixth-grade alchemist.

He didn't believe Chu Mu could surpass Xu Changqing in just a few short years.

"A bit higher than sixth grade." Chu Mu lifted her chin proudly: "My master doesn't have a seventh-grade alchemy formula, so I'm only considered a peak sixth-grade alchemist for now."

Is it because there's no seventh-grade formula that she's only a peak sixth-grade?

Fang Xu looked at Chu Mu with some astonishment, finding it hard to imagine that the Danxiang Sacred Body could be this terrifying!

From the time Chu Mu first began studying the Dao of Alchemy until now, it's been less than ten years in total!

Ten years!

From a disabled person who wasn't even a martial artist, she leapt ahead of Xu Changqing, an alchemist who had immersed himself in the Dao of Alchemy for nearly a hundred years!

"What a little monster..."

Fang Xu muttered, causing Chu Mu to stare straight at him.

"Who are you calling a little monster?"

"Aren't you just like that yourself, brother?"

"You've practiced martial arts for less than ten years—you shouldn't be weaker than Elder Jiang now, right?"

The siblings praised each other, leaving Liu Xin and the others nearby speechless.

They had witnessed Fang Xu's monstrous talent.

Yet they never imagined that Fang Xu had been in contact with martial arts for less than ten years.

Moreover, Chu Mu's monstrous talent also left them feeling somewhat incredulous.

"Fang Xu, is Mu Mei Mei a Sacred Body?" Kong Jie asked.

She had stayed on the Immortal Island for a long time and knew how precious a sixth-grade alchemist was.

To put it bluntly, for an alchemist to reach sixth grade, aside from extremely high alchemy talent, the rest is just time.

After talent is achieved, alchemists still need to spend a great deal of time honing their alchemy skills, trying to learn the properties of various herbs, mastering fire control, and so on.

These things are indispensable for every alchemist—there are no shortcuts.

But Chu Mu is now in her early twenties; even if she had started learning alchemy from the womb, such a short time would make it impossible to reach peak sixth-grade.

Unless she is a Sacred Body.

Fang Xu nodded: "Mu is the Danxiang Sacred Body."

This point actually doesn't need to be hidden—many people in the Yu Kingdom's Ascension Assembly know Chu Mu's Sacred Body identity.

"No wonder..."

Kong Jie murmured a sentence.

The Danxiang Sacred Body, like her Xuanyang Sacred Body, belongs to a type of extremely top-tier Sacred Body.

Sacred Bodies can be seen as heavenly blessings—equivalent to the heavens letting you be born to eat this bowl of rice.

"Alright."

Chu Mu stood up, glanced around at the remaining precious herbs.

If it weren't for her Cosmos Bag already being full, she estimated she wouldn't want to leave.

Don't think the precious herbs on the fifth layer are excessively abundant—know that this ruin was left behind by the God Yan, and the fifth layer was originally used by the people of the Dark God Temple as a medicinal garden to cultivate spirit herbs.

Now, so many years have passed that the spirit herbs on the entire fifth layer have never been harvested, with no heavenly or earthly interference, allowing them to grow and reproduce freely, their numbers having long reached an astonishing level.

"Then let's head to the next layer."

Fang Xu glanced at everyone and spoke.

The main resources of the fifth layer are spirit herbs, which for others indeed hold little practical significance.

Under the leadership of Duanjiao, the group quickly arrived at the entrance to the sixth layer.

"This layer..."

Gazing at the entrance of the sixth layer before them, Fang Xu slightly furrowed his brow.

Gu Qiu had previously speculated that this ruin left by the God Yan was arranged according to the order of the Seven Luminaries.

Now, the first five layers seem to correspond to Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, so the remaining two layers are obviously Yin and Yang.

Yin refers to the Yin Yuan Jun, also called the Yin Ming Wang, made in female form.

Yang refers to the Yang Di Jun, also called the Ri Gong Xian Wang, made in male form.

Although they haven't entered the sixth layer yet, they can clearly feel a surge of extremely yin and soft Yin power coming from within.

Under the erosion of this Yin power, among the six people present plus Duanjiao, only Kong Jie's expression was one of complete ease.

Possessing the Xuanyang Sacred Body, she found that under the influence of this Yin power, the restless Xuanyang fire within her body was being neutralized, making her feel even more at ease than Fang Xu's Xuanshui power.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

Kong Jie urged everyone on, herself directly charging into the sixth layer's passage.

"Be careful, everyone."

"Tell me if you can't hold out."

Fang Xu looked toward Yun Wan and Chu Mu.

Among the people on this trip, only the two of them had relatively weaker strength, possibly unable to withstand the erosion of the Yin power.

The two women nodded, indicating they were fine.

Thus, Fang Xu led them together into the sixth layer of the ruins.

As soon as they entered, a stronger wave of Yin power rushed toward them.

The Yin power was an extreme Yin force, its bone-chilling cold making Chu Mu and Yun Wan involuntarily shiver.

"So cold..."

Shrinking his neck, Chu Mu muttered a sentence.

Fortunately, this cold was still bearable.

"Duan Jiao, this layer..." Fang Xu originally wanted to ask Duan Jiao about the dangers of this layer.

But recalling that Duan Jiao had said earlier he didn't know what kind of tribe lived here.

"Fang Xu, look!"

At this moment, Liu Xin seemed to have noticed something abnormal, quickly pointing at the distant grayish mountain and speaking.

Following the direction he pointed, everyone turned their heads to look.

"People?"

Chang Long questioned doubtfully.

In the crowd's sight, several figures seemed to appear and disappear intermittently on the distant mountain peak; from their build and attire, they could be seen as likely all women.

"Let's go check." Kong Jie said, directly leaping forward.

"Senior sister, be careful!" Fang Xu shouted, also quickly leading everyone to follow Kong Jie's steps.

Soon, the group arrived at the foot of the mountain.

At the same time, the figures on the mountain noticed Fang Xu and his group's arrival, all flashing down.

Behind them followed a group of foxes with snow-white fur.

When the two sides just met, the leading few graceful women did not immediately launch an attack, only casting a glance with unfriendly expressions and a hint of curiosity at Fang Xu and the others.

"Who are you?"

"This place does not welcome outsiders; leave quickly!"

Fang Xu and the others exchanged glances, finally stepping forward and clasping hands: "I am Fang Xu..."

"Are you the inheritor of Yan Shen?"

As he spoke, the leading woman in yellow robes among the group of women seemed to sense Fang Xu's aura, her face instantly turning somewhat grim.

"Sisters, kill him!"

In an instant, the originally delicate women before them all erupted with terrifying auras!

The aura of the woman in yellow robes was even more terrifying, obviously already at the half-step Demon King realm!

Fang Xu frowned slightly, suddenly recalling that Duan Jiao had said Yan Shen told him that the original inhabitants of the lower layers had all rebelled.

Moreover, these original inhabitants and he, as the inheritor of Yan Shen, seemed to have some kind of hatred that extended to the house.

Upon sensing his Yan Shen aura, without a word, they came forward to attack.

"Let me handle it!"

Seeing the opponent about to act, Kong Jie directly stepped forward in front of Fang Xu, the Xuan Yang Sacred Body bursting forth without reservation!

The Yin power of the sixth layer of the ruins did not suppress the power of the Xuan Yang Sacred Body; instead, it seemed to enhance Kong Jie's strength due to the union of Yin and Yang.

Kong Jie, with the Xuan Yang Sacred Body fully unleashed, made even Fang Xu feel somewhat terrifying at this moment.

Behind her, a golden great sun phantom appeared, within which even a human figure appeared!

This figure became increasingly clear within the great sun, as if it could step out of the sun at any moment.

Fang Xu guessed that if the phantom in the great sun could fully emerge, Kong Jie's strength might directly reach the Dharma Appearance realm!

That is to say, Kong Jie now is not inferior to that woman in yellow robes.

As swords were drawn and bows bent, Fang Xu directly spoke: "What exactly happened between you and Yan Shen?"

He was very curious; these people before him should be the fox demon race, living carefree in the secret realm created by Yan Shen, so why would they harbor such great resentment toward Yan Shen?

"Hmph!"

"Do you think that old thing is a good person?"

The woman in yellow robes coldly snorted; mentioning Yan Shen, her killing intent seemed to intensify.

Fang Xu was very curious, but the woman in yellow robes opposite seemed unwilling to talk nonsense with them; suddenly, seven large white fluffy tails appeared behind her!

"I wondered why I sensed a foul smell; turns out it's a group of fox demons." Kong Jie coldly smiled, looking at the seven large tails behind the yellow-robed fox woman.

Boom!

She suddenly raised her hand; a huge hand entirely formed of flames directly slapped toward the yellow-robed fox woman and all the fox demons behind her.

Seeing this, the yellow-robed woman's face changed; she quickly shouted: "Sisters, protect the clan members!"

Before her words finished, she also reacted to Kong Jie's attack!

The seven huge tails behind her swelled in the wind, then formed a huge ball, protecting all the unformed little fox demons within.

Bang!

The flame palm directly struck the shield formed by the huge tails, terrifying energy forming a ring of fire that dissipated in all directions!

After the strike, Kong Jie did not intend to give the opponent a chance to retaliate; her body flashed, she directly charged in front of the yellow-robed fox woman and punched her body!

The terrifying fist was like a huge meteor, wrapped in golden flames, and slammed toward the fox demon's body!

"Stop."

Then, at that moment, a faint light and shadow suddenly appeared before Kong Jie, and easily blocked her strike.

Seeing her fist strike the opponent and vanish directly, Kong Jie's face showed a hint of shock.

Her strike was already her full strength, yet the opponent didn't even raise a hand, enduring it with sheer bodily strength.

Moreover, when her fist struck the opponent, it was like striking an endless abyss, all force instantly swallowed clean.

What cultivation is this light and shadow?

Kong Jie cautiously retreated a few steps, coming to Fang Xu's side and said: "This person is very strong."

Fang Xu nodded, his gaze fixed on the suddenly appearing figure, then clasped his hands: "Greetings, Taiyin Yuanjun."

He could tell that this light and shadow before him shared the same aura as the Xuanzhen Zhenjun he had once seen.

Fang Xu guessed that this light and shadow before him was most likely Taiyin Yuanjun.

"Huh?"

The light and shadow's appearance was unclear, but from the attire, it could be seen as a woman.

"The old thing actually chose a decent inheritor."

"Back then..."

The light and shadow seemed to want to say something, but the yellow-clad woman beside her directly clasped her hands: "Yuanjun, kill them!"

Taiyin Yuanjun slowly turned, glancing at the interrupting yellow-clad woman: "After all these years, you still haven't let go?"

The yellow-clad woman dared not speak further, but from her expression, it was clear her heart held no compromise.

"Yuanjun, this junior wishes to know what exactly happened between you and the Yan God."

Fang Xu clasped his hands and said.

Since Taiyin Yuanjun appeared but did not directly attack, it meant this matter still had room for maneuver.

"I have no grudge against him."

"At my level, many things are no longer of concern."

"It's just that these juniors still care deeply."

Having said this, Taiyin Yuanjun said: "Little one, if you agree to one thing for me, today I will not only not make things difficult for you, but I will also give you all the good things that old fellow has on this level."

Is there really such a good thing?

Fang Xu looked at Taiyin Yuanjun in disbelief.

"Senior, please speak."

Taiyin Yuanjun slowly said: "Since you have obtained that old thing's inheritance, you only need to promise me to leave these juniors of mine a true world, so they can live and reproduce normally."

These words made Fang Xu somewhat puzzled.

Hasn't the sixth layer of this ruin always been a decent world?

Besides the fox demons, it seems no other race has come to disturb them.

"This is a prison." Taiyin Yuanjun said: "Besides me, none of them can ever leave this place in their lifetime."

Her words fell, and she then directly waved her hand.

Boom—

Boom—

…

In the distance, a bald mountain range suddenly shook as if hit by half an earthquake, violently trembling!

Next, a crystal mountain like a divine dragon flew out from that mountain range and came straight to Fang Xu.

"Fang Xu, this is spirit crystal marrow!"

Feeling the terrifying energy on the crystal dragon, Kong Jie exclaimed in astonishment: "It seems to be top-grade spirit crystal marrow!"

"This much, probably weighing hundreds of thousands of catties!"

Fang Xu was also shocked at this moment!

So much spirit crystal marrow, could it not be an entire spirit crystal marrow vein!?

"Big Brother Fang Xu!"

"With so much spirit crystal marrow, we might as well stay here and cultivate for decades or even hundreds of years; by then we will surely become great demons, existences of the Dharma Aspect realm."

The dragon excitedly said.

Chu Mu and Yun Wan, though they didn't know what spirit crystal marrow was, could also feel that extremely pure heavenly and earthly energy.

Moreover, from everyone's reaction, it could be seen that this thing before them was absolutely precious.

Under everyone's astonished gaze, Taiyin Yuanjun waved her hand and cut off a section of the spirit crystal mountain before her, then with supreme power sent that small piece to Fang Xu.

The rest was instantly sucked back into the mountain range by a terrifying force.

"Agree to me, and these spirit crystal marrows will be yours."

Taiyin Yuanjun said.

Although this spirit crystal small mountain before you is only one-tenth of that spirit crystal marrow vein, its weight still exceeds one hundred thousand catties!

Converted into spirit crystal marrow blocks, that's a full one hundred thousand blocks!

To put it bluntly, this spirit crystal small mountain could buy one's life.

After all, in the Central Continent, that mysterious behind-the-scenes black hand spent a thousand top-grade spirit crystal marrows to buy one's life.

"Junior does not understand the meaning in Yuanjun's words."

Although the spirit crystal small mountain before him was tempting, Fang Xu did not immediately agree.

Taiyin Yuanjun's power as such a great being is extremely terrifying; if one fails to fulfill what they promised her, Fang Xu knows he will surely not fare well.

"This king asks you, how many worlds have you connected to now?"

The Taiyin Primordial Sovereign suddenly spoke.

Fang Xu's expression froze slightly, then he asked curiously: "Worlds?"

The Taiyin Primordial Sovereign's tone was heavy with a faint smile, and then a voice directly echoed in his sea of consciousness.

"Beyond the stone gate lies the world."

Fang Xu understood; he had long guessed that behind the stone gate must be something extraordinary, but he never imagined that behind the stone gate was actually a real world.

What exactly is the Inheritance of the Derivation God, that it can actually connect one's apertures to a world!?

"That old thing, the Derivation God, is a lunatic. Tell this king, how many worlds have you connected to?"

Fang Xu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Five."

He did not tell the Taiyin Primordial Sovereign the truth.

"Fine, leave one world for this king's people when the time comes." The Taiyin Primordial Sovereign spoke.

Outside, she directly waved her hand and split the spirit crystal marrow hill before her into one hundred thousand neat pieces of spirit crystal marrow.

"Take it. Besides spirit crystal marrow, this layer also has some ores for refining artifacts. When you return from the next layer, this king will have them send it to you."

After arranging everything, the Taiyin Primordial Sovereign turned to look at the group of fox women and said: "Do not cling to obsession anymore. What happened back then was not solely the fault of the Derivation God; your ancestors also had their faults."

The yellow-robed fox spirit wanted to say something more, but the Taiyin Primordial Sovereign pointed a finger at her forehead: "You just need to know this yourself; don't spread it outside."

The yellow-robed fox spirit received the message transmitted by the Taiyin Primordial Sovereign, and the whole person froze in place.

"How could this be?"

The Taiyin Primordial Sovereign said nothing, her figure gradually fading from everyone's sight.

The yellow-robed fox spirit looked at Fang Xu with a complex expression, then sighed: "The entrance to the seventh layer is at the mountain peak; you may go."

"We will obey the orders of the Sovereign's division."

Saying that, she had the fox spirits behind her make way.

Fang Xu and the others exchanged a glance, then walked straight through the midst of the fox spirits.

Watching the backs of those departing, all the fox women wore expressions of unwillingness.

"Big sister, just let that guy go like this?"

"Truly unwilling!"

"Big sister, why not just go kill him? We must kill that guy!"

……

The yellow-robed fox spirit slightly shook her head and coldly said: "Sisters, don't forget, the bunch in the seventh layer are no pushovers; once they go down, they won't have anything good to eat."

Even if the Taiyin Primordial Sovereign came forward to dissuade and told her the truth of past events, the yellow-robed fox spirit obviously still couldn't let go of this grudge.

She had already made preparations to kill with a borrowed knife.

At the entrance to the seventh layer, she glanced at Chu Mu and Yun Wan behind her and said: "Why don't you two not follow?"

Chu Mu was puzzled, and although Yun Wan did not speak, her face also showed a hint of reluctance.

Fang Xu helplessly said: "I have a feeling this layer won't be peaceful."

Upon hearing this, Yun Wan's expression darkened slightly as she took Chu Mu's hand: "Mu sister, let's just wait here."

She is a sensible woman, knowing that if she and Chu Mu followed down, they would only become a burden to Fang Xu and the others.

At critical moments, if danger truly arises, it would only distract Fang Xu.

In the past, Yun Wan had never eagerly wanted to improve her own strength.

But after the Yun clan was exterminated and her brother died tragically in her arms, from that moment on, she secretly vowed in her heart that she must become strong.

She must personally kill Li Cangwu and the Blood Floating Pagoda!

But in the end, neither Li Cangwu nor the Blood Floating Pagoda died by her hand.

Fortunately, the grudge of the Yun clan has been avenged.

She thought that her tightly drawn string could finally relax a little.

But now...

Watching Fang Xu disappear at the entrance to the seventh layer, Yun Wan suddenly felt that to stand by his side, she must follow his footsteps.

And now, she has obviously become a burden to Fang Xu.

It seems she still needs to become stronger.

The seventh layer of the relics.

After Fang Xu and the four arrived here with the broken horn, they were instantly stunned by the sight before them!

Cracked earth was everywhere beneath their feet, and scorching magma flowed wildly!

Even more terrifying, the long horn pointed at the sky above: "You look, three suns!"

Fang Xu and the others raised their heads and indeed saw three huge fireballs hanging in the sky!

"What place is this exactly?" Kong Jie frowned and looked around.

As a Xuan Yang Holy Body, she could clearly feel a kind of dry heat; she really couldn't understand what in this secret realm could survive.

Fang Xu endured the burning sensation on his skin and looked at the broken horn.

But he found that at this moment, the broken horn was continuously jumping on his feet, obviously scorched badly by the ground beneath.

"Broken horn, you go back too." Seeing the broken horn grimacing from the heat, Fang Xu couldn't help but laugh and say.

Upon hearing this, the broken horn immediately, with a solemn expression, endured the scorching heat beneath his feet and planted his feet on the ground, saying:

"Master, I'm fine, my skin is thick!"

"Hiss—"

Fang Xu shook his head: "Go, wait for me outside."

The broken-horned one saw the situation and didn't insist anymore, quickly hopping back to the entrance in a hurry.

After seeing off the broken-horned one, Fang Xu turned his head to look around.

This is the final layer of the ruins; it should contain the remaining part of the Yan Shen inheritance.

But looking around now, everywhere is scorching magma, with nothing particularly noteworthy.

"Let's go check ahead."

The four carefully avoided the scorching magma and walked toward the distance.

Not far in, Liu Xin was the first to couldn't bear it anymore.

Among the four, aside from Fang Xu, his cultivation was the lowest, only at the peak of Martial Venerable.

But as the inheritor of the Yan Shen legacy, Fang Xu's body was already extremely strong, plus the power of the Xuan Shui soul wandering within him, he could barely withstand this heat.

Liu Xin was different.

He had no other special means; this scorching heat was hard for him to resist.

"Long Dragon."

Fang Xu looked at Long Dragon and said: "Let's go to the sky."

Long Dragon nodded, his body flickered, and directly transformed into a dragon form, flying into midair.

At this moment, Fang Xu and the other two all jumped onto his back.

Ang!

Long Dragon let out a dragon roar, directly rushing toward the shattered earth in the distance.

Soaring in the sky, the magma rivers below were dense and numerous, like a huge net!

"Left!"

Fang Xu suddenly shouted.

Standing on Long Dragon's back, he noticed these magma rivers seemed to flow out from somewhere on the left.

Long Dragon immediately turned direction and rushed toward the left.

Going against the flow of the magma, the few people vaguely saw an orange-red magma lake!

It seemed all the magma below flowed out from this huge magma lake!

"There seems to be a temple in the center of the lake!"

Standing on Long Dragon's back, Kong Jie suddenly noticed that in the scorching magma lake below, there appeared to be an ancient-style building floating in the center.

Upon hearing this, Long Dragon made a dive, directly flying toward the temple's direction.

But before they could approach the temple, a terrifying sense of danger suddenly appeared in Fang Xu's heart!

"Be careful!"

Fang Xu let out a loud shout!

Suddenly, a huge arm burst out from the magma lake below, grabbing toward the Long Dragon flying in the sky!

As the huge arm was about to grab Long Dragon, at the critical moment, Long Dragon's body instantly burst with dense electric light, and his body suddenly accelerated!

Boom!

The magma-covered huge arm clenched suddenly, its fingers scraping past Long Dragon's body!

"What the hell is this!?"

The Long Dragon who escaped the danger looked back with lingering fear at the arm slowly sinking into the magma lake.

But the next moment, Kong Jie's pupils shrank, and she quickly patted Long Dragon's body and said:

"Fly higher!"

"Quick!"

Long Dragon was stunned for a moment, then quickly performed a ninety-degree upward pull!

Just as his body rose, a large number of huge rocks resembling meteors suddenly flew out from the magma lake below!

These huge rocks were entirely wrapped in magma, as if thrown out from beneath the magma by a tremendous force!

Dense huge rocks smashed toward Fang Xu and the others in the sky!

Fortunately, with Kong Jie's warning, Long Dragon had already flown to high altitude; otherwise, they would definitely have been hit by these huge rocks!

After a round of huge rocks struck, since they didn't hit the target, the creature hidden in the magma lake became somewhat angry.

The magma lake below began to churn!

Under the gaze of Fang Xu and the others, in the rolling magma lake, one burly figure after another slowly emerged!

These burly figures were entirely burned with terrifying golden flames, their height reaching nearly ten zhang!

Their number was even nearly a thousand!

After these magma giants stood up, they raised their heads to look at the Long Dragon in the sky and let out angry roars!

Then, from the place where the huge arm had appeared earlier, came an even greater commotion!

A magma giant over twenty zhang tall slowly emerged from the magma lake!

Roar!

After this huge magma giant fully stood up, it roared angrily at Fang Xu in the sky, then suddenly hurled a huge rock at them!

Seeing this, Long Dragon quickly dodged!

"This big guy is too terrifying!"

The aura emitted by the huge magma giant made even Long Dragon feel a palpitation.

It seemed, whether in strength or bloodline, this thing was much stronger than him.

"Big Brother Fang Xu, should we still go to the temple?" Long Dragon asked.

In the magma lake below, those magma giants stared covetously, and had already instinctively surrounded the ancient temple floating on the magma lake.

It seemed that as long as Fang Xu and the others dared to approach, they would immediately tear the intruder apart!

Fang Xu fell silent.

At the moment he discovered the temple, he vaguely sensed a faint call.

It seemed that something inside the temple was attracting him.

Fang Xu understood that this must be the final part of the Yan Shen inheritance.

But the lava giants before him were simply too strong!

Even just those lava giants ten zhang tall gave him the feeling of being at the peak of Yuan Wu!

As for that massive one over twenty zhang tall, its aura was even more terrifying, having already surpassed the feeling those Fa Xiang realm experts gave him during the battle on the Immortal Island!

What should be done?

Faced with the terrifying lava giant horde, Fang Xu fell into deep thought.

If they rashly went down now, with their current strength, they would definitely not be a match for the lava giants.

Although these hulks cannot fly, their formidable bodies are strong enough to easily crush them all.

Yet he must obtain the Yan Shen inheritance!

"Chang Long, go to the high sky above the temple!"

After some hesitation, Fang Xu suddenly realized that although these lava giants surrounded the temple, they seemed unwilling to get too close to it.

There was at least a distance of nearly a hundred zhang between the many lava giants and the temple!

And this distance seemed to become the key to whether he could enter the temple!

Chang Long quickly brought them to above the temple!

In the magma lake, those lava giants, upon noticing Chang Long's movement, all roared angrily!

Some even refused to give up, scooping out boulders from the magma lake below and hurling them at Chang Long overhead!

"Fang Xu, what are you trying to do?"

Kong Jie seemed to have guessed Fang Xu's plan, her face solemn as she said: "Although they dare not approach the temple, you cannot possibly dodge their boulder attacks at this distance."

Fang Xu said nothing.

At this moment, his eyes fixed firmly on the temple below, he mentally calculated what means he could use.

First was the Dragon Scale Shield, which should be able to help him block one or two attacks at a critical moment.

Second was the Kui Niu Technique, which could accelerate his descent.

There was also the Dragon Roaming Body Technique!

If he used all of these, successfully dodging the lava giants' rock attacks and landing on the temple should not be a problem.

After thinking it through, Fang Xu patted Chang Long's body.

"Descend a little, be careful."

Chang Long descended a bit, provoking the lava giants to start hurling stones again.

Feeling it was about right, Fang Xu looked at Liu Xin and Kong Jie and said: "Senior Brother, Senior Sister, after I go down later, you let Chang Long take you away first."

"If I haven't come out after a month, you take Yun Wan and Mu and leave."

Having said that, without waiting for their劝阻, Fang Xu directly leapt from Chang Long's back!

Below, the lava giants at this moment also noticed Fang Xu's figure, seemingly instantly guessing his plan, and frantically grabbed burning boulders from under their feet, hurling them at Fang Xu!

Kui Niu Technique!

At this moment, Fang Xu directly activated the Kui Niu Technique, his body suddenly plummeting as he fell toward the temple!

Roar!

On the other side, that lava giant over twenty zhang tall, seeing this, directly charged over in anger!

The lava giants along the way were shoved aside roughly by it, and soon it reached within three hundred zhang of the temple!

Whoosh!

Facing the rapidly falling Fang Xu, it directly opened its mouth and spewed out a large amount of magma!

The magma came flying toward Fang Xu, covering the sky and earth!

The flames carried by the magma were also terrifyingly golden!

Fang Xu was somewhat startled; he hadn't expected this hulk to have such an attack method!

His body flickered suddenly, dodging the terrifying magma barrage, but his body also deviated from the temple's summit!

Actually, the best course now would be to immediately return and then leave.

But having come this far, Fang Xu did not want to give up!

His eyes fixed on the temple below, feeling that mysterious call from his heart growing stronger, Fang Xu suddenly accelerated, then summoned the three Dragon Scale Shields, protecting his surroundings, and continued charging toward the temple!

Bang!

Bang!

……

The lower the altitude, the denser the stones thrown by the lava giants became!

One of the Dragon Scale Shields, after taking several hits, was directly knocked back into the cave aperture space!

Having lost one Dragon Scale Shield, Fang Xu's pressure suddenly increased!

But fortunately, these lava giants seemed to greatly fear the temple, or perhaps held it in extreme reverence; as Fang Xu's altitude decreased, their attacks appeared somewhat hesitant and restrained!

Seeing Fang Xu already approaching the temple, the surrounding lava giants all let out angry roars!

Yet even so, they still dared not cross the three-hundred-zhang red line, only able to wait anxiously outside!

Success!

Looking at the temple only a few dozen zhang high, Fang Xu felt a faint joy rise in his heart.

This height is actually reachable in the blink of an eye!

From the performance of these lava giants, it can be seen that they not only dare not approach the temple, but also dare not attack it directly.

That is to say, as long as I reach the temple, the crisis is considered resolved!

While thinking about what might be inside the temple, Fang Xu didn't notice that at a height of ten zhang from the temple, the air had already become somewhat distorted.

Bang!

The rapidly falling Fang Xu suddenly collided with an almost invisible barrier!

The tremendous impact force left the unprepared him nearly knocked unconscious!

His body was flung high into the air, and Fang Xu only felt his head buzzing.

Before he could react, a scorching torrent of lava surged directly toward him!

It was the attack of that giant lava giant again!

Fang Xu hurriedly tried to dodge, but horrifyingly discovered that his body had been locked onto by a terrifying force!

Seeing those terrifying lava flows approaching, a flash of panic crossed Fang Xu's eyes!

Even if my physical body is strong, I probably couldn't withstand this lava attack burning with golden flames!

One wash, and I estimate even my bones wouldn't remain!

What to do?

After a hint of panic rose in his heart, Fang Xu hurriedly forced himself to calm down.

His gaze fell on the barrier below, and he suddenly noticed a problem.

This energy imprisoning him seems to be emanating from the barrier below!

With this discovery, looking again at the incoming lava surge, he suddenly wasn't so tense.

Boom!

The terrifying lava torrent rushed over, but the anticipated pain did not appear.

An invisible barrier formed on his body surface, blocking the terrifying lava torrent outside.

Immediately afterward, Fang Xu felt a faint pulling force transmitted to him.

His body was gradually pulled by a gentle force toward the barrier, and subsequently, amidst the angry roars of the lava giants, he was pulled into the temple by this force.
