Cheng Ling hurriedly walked up to Jian Yinghao, put his hand on his chest, and asked, "Brother Jian, what's going on? Where are the others?"
Jian Yinghao gasped and said: "They have all left and entered the sea of fire. Only the four of us are left. Brother Cheng, why did you come here?"
Cheng Ling sighed: "It's hard to explain. What happened? How could you be hurt?"
Yin Luoyao interjected: "Third Junior Brother, the temperature of this sea of fire is extremely high, and there are some strange creatures in it. They will attack once they get close. We were injured by those attacks."
"Strange creatures...?" Cheng Ling pondered for a while and said, "Brother Jian, you recover from your injuries here first. I'll go in and take a look. Brother Zhou, please protect them."
Zhou Yuanbai agreed: "Brother Cheng, just leave."
Cheng Ling sacrificed the dragon feather sword and plunged into the sea of fire.
With his ninth-level spiritual body, although the temperature in the sea of fire was extremely high, it had no effect. It's just that in the sea of fire, some black mist appears from time to time. This black mist is scattered around, constantly changing shapes, and as it approaches, I can feel a strong demonic aura.
The further he advanced into the depths of the sea of fire, the thicker the black mist became, and Cheng Ling faintly felt a familiar smell, which was very similar to the breath he felt in the Black Demon Abyss.
Gradually, more and more black mist in the sea of fire gathered together, gradually forming strange life-size creatures that came towards Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling waved his sword to resist, and the demonic creatures all used sword skills. However, these sword skills were not high-end, and it was easy for him to see the flaw and kill the creature. But after those creatures died, they did not disappear. Instead, they dispersed into the sea of fire and reunited to form a new demonic creature.
Immediately afterwards, the sword skills used by the newly formed demonic creatures were much higher than before. If the swordsmanship of the demonic creature transformed for the first time was still at a low level, then the second generation creature after reorganization was at an intermediate level.
After reaching the intermediate level, his swordsmanship improved by one level, but it was still not good enough. Cheng Ling could still kill easily. It's just that the result of this killing is the same as before, merging again to form a new demonic creature.
The third generation is one level higher than the second generation. Not only the swordsmanship, but also the long swords transformed in their hands exude a dark and cold light, which is not inferior to ordinary top-quality swords.
"What on earth is going on? The demonic creatures seem to be endless, and there is no way to kill them all. How did the monks in front get through? And right now, it is only the periphery of the center of the sea of fire, and the combat power of the demonic creatures seems to reach the level of Immortal Lord Realm, further inside, could there be creatures of the Immortal Emperor stage?"
After killing two level three demonic creatures in a row, Cheng Ling turned around and returned. He thought of a way to lead Jian Yinghao and others through the sea of fire. Moreover, if you want to break through the central area by yourself, you will have to pay a huge price. It is better to work together to save immortal energy.
He had not been in the sea of fire for long, less than half an hour, and Jian Yinghao and others had not yet fully recovered.
Zhou Yuanbai asked: "Brother Cheng, what's going on inside?"
"The temperature of the sea of fire is very high, and it is difficult to withstand it if you are not at a certain level of body refining. Moreover, there are many demonic creatures in it. They are not affected by the flames at all, and they can continue to upgrade. The deeper they go, the stronger they become."
"Demon energy creature...?" Zhou Yuanbai frowned and said, "So the front should be a dangerous place. I don't know how the Sword Saint of Light and the others got through."
"It doesn't matter. I've thought of a way to greatly reduce the impact of the sea of fire. As long as you be careful about the demonic creatures inside, it shouldn't be a big problem. We can leave after Brother Jian and the others recover."
Zhou Yuanbai immediately felt relieved and waited patiently.
In the past three days, Jian Yinghao, Yin Luoyao, Chu Yulu, and Ye Qiuhe have fully recovered from their injuries.
Yin Luoyao asked: "Third Junior Brother, do you have a way to pass through the sea of fire?"
Cheng Ling said: "The sea of fire is not difficult, but the key is the demonic creatures inside. These creatures cannot be completely killed, and every time they die, their combat power will increase by one level after regrouping. Therefore, we in this industry must try to be careful and not be too easy." Kill those demonic creatures and drag them until they reach the other side of the sea of fire."
Ye Qiuhe glanced at the raging flames and asked doubtfully: "Third senior brother, the temperature of this sea of fire is extremely high. I'm afraid my body won't be able to hold on."
Cheng Ling smiled slightly, and with a flick of his right hand, the meteor fire came into his palm. As he connected his fingers, the flame slowly floated in the air, forming a curtain of light that enveloped the six people.
Everyone suddenly felt much more comfortable, and the heat of the flames could no longer hurt them at all.
Zhou Yuanbai sighed: "Nine-level Immortal Flame, Brother Cheng, you are really shocking."
Cheng Ling smiled and said, "It's just luck."
At the moment, he controlled the meteor fire and led everyone towards the sea of fire.
This is the inspiration he got from the Nine Yang True Fire. No matter how powerful the flames in the sea of fire are, they cannot compare to the ninth-level fairy flames of Meteor Fire. As long as he and others are covered in it, those flames will not have much effect. .
Sure enough, as the process continued, everyone felt much more comfortable, and the high temperature of the flames was completely driven out by the fire shield. Not only that, the meteor fire was nourished by these flames, and the nine golden haloes became more rounded, as if it could enhance its power.
In this way, the six people only need to guard against the demonic creatures. The creatures at the beginning were only level one and not very lethal, but none of the six people killed them easily. They just defended themselves to avoid being hurt by the demonic creatures.
The six people marched at the same time, much slower, and it took a day to reach the center of the flames.
"Be careful, the demonic creature in the center will be more powerful, so be careful." Cheng Ling reminded.
Everyone was shocked, and each took a position. With Cheng Ling as the leader, they slowly advanced in a hexagonal shape.
In the center, the fire attribute immortal essence is extremely rich, especially below, where fiery red magma flows. Even the immortal essence in the air is almost burned and becomes thinner day by day.
"This can't continue like this. Although we are protected by the immortal flame mask, our own immortal energy is still being evaporated. I'm afraid it will be exhausted before we get out of here." Zhou Yuanbai said with a frown.
Cheng Ling pondered for a moment, then quietly absorbed a ray of fire attribute energy and tried to refine it. In less than a moment, he felt a large amount of fire energy pouring into his body like a trickle, surrounding his soul and nourishing his soul that had adapted to the fire power.
He was overjoyed and said: "Everyone can try to absorb the power of fire for refining. It can not only replenish the consumption of immortal energy, but also deepen the understanding of the fire attribute. However, remember to control the amount of absorption, not too much, otherwise you will not be able to bear it. .”
Among the six people, Chu Yulu and Jian Yinghao have nine-attribute spiritual roots, and Yin Luoyao and Ye Qiuhe have five-attribute spiritual roots. As for Zhou Yuanbai, he doesn't know, but he must have multiple spiritual roots. He can only be a dead horse in front of him.
Everyone tried as told. Although the scorching fire energy put a heavy burden on the tendons and Dantian, it was undeniable that while enduring the pain, it was also being tempered and strengthened. Even the physical body was slowly strengthening. .
After a long time, an extremely comfortable feeling came to mind, especially the four Jian Yinghao. They were injured before and took the elixir. Although they recovered to some extent, they were still not completely the same as before. At this moment, as they absorbed the fire attribute element here, The strength actually allowed the injury to recover slowly.
Just as everyone was immersed in the wonderful feeling, bursts of sharp screams came from all directions.
Opening his eyes, he saw dozens of demonic creatures surrounding the fire shield. Judging from the dark light emitting swords in their hands, they were clearly third-level demonic creatures.
Everyone was on alert and raised their swords to face the enemy. Cheng Ling pondered for a moment and then said immediately: "Set up the Five Elements Formation. Brother Zhou, you enter the center and provide random support."
Zhou Yuanbai agreed and gave up his position.
Among the six, except Zhou Yuanbai, they had all fought together, and Cheng Ling had also taught them the sword formation. They worked together very well and quickly stabilized the situation.
There was a hint of envy in Zhou Yuanbai's eyes, and he was even more impressed by Cheng Ling's methods.
The meteor fire and the sword array exerted force in both directions, and the group continued to go deeper into the center, and soon came to a place like a crater. Bursts of thick black smoke emerged from it and spread in the sky in all directions.
There is even more high temperature permeating the air, and even the rocks near the crater have been corroded over the years. Although they have not collapsed, they are red and look shocking.
Fortunately, Meteor Fire still emitted scorching fire power, protecting the six people from being injured by the fire poison.
Cheng Ling led everyone to the crater. When he lowered his head and looked down, he saw that the crater was shrouded in fiery red, with ghost-like black smoke inside, sometimes rushing out and rising up the crater.
Waves of heat hit the face, and when they fell on everyone, they were quickly sucked into the body by the hairs all over the body, and turned into traces of fire energy and integrated into the body.
Hee hee hee hee hee...
Bursts of fierce fire scorched softly, and the clothes around Jian Yinghao, Yin Luoyao, Chu Yulu, Ye Qiuhe, and Zhou Yuanbai quickly turned into ashes. Jian Yinghao and Zhou Yuanbai just committed suicide, which was harmless, but the remaining three women were very embarrassed. Embarrassed, not knowing what to do for a moment.
Cheng Ling waved his right hand, and the meteor fire transformed into several fire dragons, which wrapped around the three women. Although they could not block them all, they finally covered their vital parts.
The three girls secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Yin Luoyao asked: "Third junior brother, this sea of fire is too big, and I don't know how far we can get out."
Dense and mysterious lines flashed in Cheng Ling's eyes, and he said after a moment: "You don't need to go through the entire sea of fire. The entrance is under the volcano, but the intersection of the volcano is full of restrictions. I need some time."
Everyone was shocked and secretly thought that they had come with Cheng Ling, otherwise they would not have been able to find the way out of the crater.
Zhou Yuanbai said: "Brother Cheng, I have also dabbled in the Five Elements Sword Formation. Why don't you concentrate on breaking the restrictions and leave those demonic creatures to us."
"Okay!" Cheng Ling felt that he was distracted and the speed of cracking the restriction was too slow. Seeing Zhou Yuanbai's initiative, he immediately agreed.
In this way, he took one step and led the six people straight down towards the crater, and the speed became faster and faster. As he sank, the high temperature contained in the heat wave became stronger and stronger, and even countless rocks appeared on the surrounding volcanic walls. The color of the cracks is not red, but dark, which obviously contains more fire poison.
After continuing to descend for a whole day, we almost reached the bottom of the volcano. It was all filled with dark red magma. The magma formed a sea, and bubbles appeared from time to time. Whenever a bubble burst, a large heat wave immediately emerged from the bubble. Rush upward.
And at this moment, the black smoke floating around was gradually rolled together, driven by the heat wave, and gathered into a strange creature with a head and two feet, more than a foot tall.
Zhou Yuanbai looked at it intently and couldn't help shouting: "Ancient Demon!"
