Bei Feng and the rest followed the metal chains, reaching the foot of a mountain.

It was not clear how many years the metal chains had existed with the mountain. But right now, the two seemed to have merged together into one body.

“Dang!”

The leader of the 12 Kunlun Devils stepped out. It wasn’t clear when, but a full moon glaive had appeared in his hands. Every single line and pattern on the weapon was exquisite beyond comparison, and the entire thing looked like a work of art.

The full moon glaive gave off a shockingly sharp aura. A majestic platinum-colored bird was carved in the middle of the glaive, spreading its wings out to fly high into the sky.

“Weng, weng!”

The full moon glaive began to vibrate gently. With the flick of a finger of the leader of the 12 Kunlun Devils, the glaive sliced through the air in an instant, appearing right before the stone cliff!

“Cha!”

The glaive slashed into the rocky cliff like a hot knife through butter. Without any effort, a long passageway was created!

“That’s the Kunlun Void of legends!”

“I never expected that this weapon was actually real! It’s the precious sect treasure of the Kunlun Sect!”

“Unbelievable! It’s actually a weapon that’s controlled by mental power!”

The Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts were rather knowledgeable, and had seen many things. However, a weapon like this was an extremely rare sight!

Bei Feng furrowed his brows lightly and muttered to himself, “Interesting, looks like they’ve hidden themselves pretty deeply.”

The silvery white Kunlun Void was extremely sharp. Bei Feng secretly evaluated the weapon and found that its grade was extremely high, probably even stronger than his almost completely fused Soaring Rainbow! Indeed, it was as expected of the famed sect treasure of the Kunlun Sect that’d been passed down since ancient times!

Under the control of the leader of the 12 Kunlun Devils, Kunlun Void easily slashed through huge pieces of rocks, which were then thrown out of the tunnel by the other experts.

Gradually, the temperature in the tunnel began to grow more and more intense. The air also began to fill with the smell of sulfur. The high temperature caused the air to ripple.

“Bam!”

After over 10 hours, the last section of the thick rock wall was finally sliced through, and the group was greeted with a sea of red light.

At this time, an incomparably shocking scene appeared before the eyes of everyone. The group was actually standing under a bed of lava!

Above their heads was a sea of lava that seemed to stretch endlessly for as far as the eye could see! And this sea of lava seemed to have been bound by a mysterious magic, causing it to float in midair, directly above everyone!

The temperature in this space was high to a shocking extent. Normal people could only last a few minutes here before they would be completely cooked!

Even Bei Feng and the rest could not disregard this searing heat, and everyone hurriedly raised their zhenqi barriers!

‘Is this the power of formations?’

Bei Feng once again realized how small and insignificant he was. It wasn’t clear how long this massive formation had existed here, but it was actually still able to hold such a large amount of lava in the air!

Bei Feng and the rest were incomparably shocked. As Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts, there weren’t many things in the world that could amaze them. But this phenomenon right here absolutely stunned them!

The group walked along the fiery red ground. Although there wasn’t any lava around them, there were numerous scarlet-red plants that looked like eagle ferns magnified several hundred times in size.

These plants looked crystalline and transparent. They were like scarlet diamonds, and emanated a sweet fragrance, causing one’s mouths to drool.

“Crack!”

One of the experts went forward and gently snapped a section of the scarlet plant off. A black liquid immediately flowed out from the joint.

“Si!”

Just by catching a whiff of the smell of the black liquid, a black color flashed past the expert’s face. Without any hesitation, he hurriedly flung the plant far away!

“Chi, chi!”

The expert quickly retreated and sat down with his eyes closed. With a swift action, he took out a bottle from his sleeves and popped a black pill into his mouth. Then, he began to revolve his zhenqi. In an instant, the index finger of his right hand turned completely black. Without pausing, he used his fingernails and slashed the finger open. In an instant, a spout of black blood carrying a pungent smell flew out of the finger. When it landed on the ground, the ground began to sizzle and black smoke rose out of it.

“What a scary poison!”

All the experts present were stunned by the shocking toxicity of the plant. This poison was extremely aggressive, and even Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts would find it hard to withstand it so long as they breathed in a mouthful!

But right now, those who were breathing in the clear fresh air in the cavern were different. Everyone could feel that their blood and Qi energy flow, as well as zhenqi revolution, had increased in speed. At the same time, their mental power felt more comfortable.

“What a strange plant, it’s a valuable resource that can complement one’s training in cultivation when whole, but the moment it’s broken, it would produce an extremely aggressive poison!” one of the experts muttered in amazement. There were no records of anyone ever seeing or hearing of such a strange plant before.

“This old woman feels that this stuff is not too bad.”

The old woman from Miaojiang smiled happily. However, everyone could not help but shudder when they looked at her. This woman’s smile was simply too ugly!

The group stepped forward a little, waiting for the old woman to collect her plant sap.

Very quickly, she collected three full vials of black liquid, and rejoined the group. Everyone subconsciously stayed a certain distance away from the old woman, afraid that the black liquid would leak out.

“Weng, weng!”

A carpet of buzzing sounds rang out from the front, as if thousands and tens of thousands of mosquitoes were traveling together.

A patch of densely packed vegetation at the front began to collapse one by one.

“Everyone, be careful! Since these ants could eat these plants as food, their bodies must be incredibly poisonous!”

The group of experts took one look at the heaven-encompassing horde of crystalline red ants, each one as big as fist, flying through the air, and directly decided to attack!

At the same time, a huge group of ants as big as house cats crawled out. These ants were the same species as those in the sky. The only difference was that they could not fly.

The group’s goal was behind the horde of ants. But it was impossible to go around them; there were simply too many of ants!

“Blaze Celestial!”

“Iced Earth!”

“Mixed Yuan One Breath Technique!”

All kinds of attacks flew out as the group attacked, instantly wiping out large patches of ants. But with the quantity of the ants, the damage dealt to their numbers was not big.

After a group of ants were cleared, countless others would swarm over to replace them.

The group did not bother about the ants on the ground, and completely placed their attention on the ants in the sky.

Since the group could fly, no matter how many ants there were on the ground, it would not be able to affect them.

Although everyone’s body was wrapped in a zhenqi barrier, nobody wished to test the poison and the mandibles of these fire ants for themselves.

In that instant, they all burst forth with terrifying speed as they barged forward.

Ten minutes later, the group finally charged out of the terrifying ant horde. The expenditure on their zhenqi was incredibly heavy.

The poison of these ants was truly too powerful, to a point that it could corrode zhenqi!

All kinds of wide-ranged area-of-effect martial techniques were used, similarly requiring the expenditure of zhenqi.

After a short rest, when everyone’s energy had recovered by a third, they began to advance again.

As Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts, their zhenqi would regenerate endlessly. As long as they did not completely exhaust their zhenqi, it would always recover by itself.

Along the way, the experts would suck in the ling Qi in the underground space. Their energy level recovered very quickly.

As they flew, a burst of pressure suddenly burst out, causing everyone’s bodies to drop directly to the ground. What caused everyone to feel the most shocked was that they couldn’t feel their zhenqi, or their blood and Qi energy!

“Looks like this place is already very close to the Dragon Imprisoning grounds. There are at least three formations here. First is an airspace restriction. The second is a zhenqi seal, and the third is a blood and Qi energy seal! As for whether there are other formations here, I don’t know yet.”

The effeminate voice of the strange person from the 12 Kunlun Devils rang out as the person walked out a strange compass in his or her hand.
