Volume 2: Secret Realm Reincarnation Chapter 162 The Third Level of the Secret Realm
When Zheng Cheng heard about Li Xuanfeng's powerful fighting ability and his tough way of dealing with people with ill intentions, he was even more shocked.
He has roughly estimated that Li Xuanfeng's fighting ability is already comparable to his. This is just based on his performance. It is still unknown whether he has hidden strength!
Zheng Cheng couldn't help but sigh that his junior brother had only been in school for two years, but his fighting power had already surpassed that of his senior brothers!
Although they had anticipated that they would be surpassed by this talented junior fellow apprentice, they had never thought that it would only take two years. At that time, they thought it would take at least ten years!
Although the calm Zheng Cheng did not show it, his heart was filled with relief amidst helplessness. The junior brother who originally made them worried had become an existence that surpassed them. Now he was no longer someone they needed to worry about, but a strong man who could protect them instead.
After Zheng Cheng walked down from the cave, everyone waited for another day to prevent anyone from the sect who had not yet left from showing up and being left alone in the square, where their resources would be snatched away by everyone in the square.
However, during this day, no one from the Xuanling Sect walked out of the cave.
There were actually people from the Xuanling Sect in the cave on the mountain wall, but after carefully checking the sect's jade slips and knowing the degree of danger of the third level, they chose not to move forward, but to stay in the safe cave to practice and wait for the exit of the secret realm to open.
These people are a group with relatively weak cultivation bases, and their cultivation base is below . After seeing the records about the third level in the jade slip, they feel that they have no chance of passing the level, and they are even facing a great crisis of life and death!
"Everyone, let's go to the third level." Seeing that no one came out of the cave, Zheng Cheng made a suggestion.
At this time, their number was only dozens, which was nearly half of that at the second level. As for the other dozens of people, some were blocked by the War Spirit Tower, and some did not dare to enter the third level of the secret realm and stayed in the Creation Cave.
Zheng Cheng originally wanted to give the position of leader to Li Xuanfeng because he had become the strongest in the team at that time.
But he was firmly rejected by Li Xuanfeng. He didn't like taking the lead and would not replace the position of the eldest senior brother. The day before was because Zheng Cheng had not appeared yet, so he could only be a temporary substitute.
At this time, half of the other people in the square had entered the third floor, leaving only about three hundred people.
Those who entered the third level originally planned to wait in the square and grab some resources.
However, the appearance of Li Xuanfeng completely disrupted their plans. They were originally the robbers, but began to worry about becoming the robbed!
Those who were confident in their own abilities all entered the third level to avoid being robbed by Li Xuanfeng.
There were only about 300 people left in the square, and they were all those who did not dare to enter the third level of the secret realm.
Although they were also extremely worried that Li Xuanfeng would try to snatch it away, it was better than entering the third floor and losing their lives.
Moreover, after Li Xuanfeng had robbed hundreds of people, he did not continue to rob others. They had hope in their hearts and thought that with Li Xuanfeng's combat power, he should not rob them, the minions with low cultivation.
However, their bet was right. Li Xuanfeng and others ignored them. After gathering, they went straight to the vortex at the end of the square.
Li Xuanfeng's eyes were filled with anticipation. In the Battle Spirit Tower, he deeply felt the strangeness of this secret realm. He wondered what strangeness the secret realms behind would hold!
After arriving at the end of the square, Li Xuan released his spiritual consciousness to slightly sense the vortex, but found that his spiritual consciousness could not pass through it at all, let alone perceive the scene behind the vortex.
"We are about to enter the third level, everyone be careful. Before entering, activate your protective magic weapon first!" Zheng Cheng gave the instructions in front of the whirlpool, his voice full of solemnity.
It’s not that he was too cautious, but according to the records, the third level of the secret realm was too dangerous!
Li Xuanfeng stood beside Shen Luoyan and secretly took Shen Luoyan's hand, which made Shen Luoyan smile even more after being slightly surprised.
Without turning his head or sensing, Li Xuanfeng could guess that his senior sister was smiling at this moment. A blush appeared uncontrollably on his fair face, and he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
But he was more worried that his senior sister would be in danger. Holding her back to prevent her from being dispersed after entering the vortex would allow him to better protect her.
For the sake of my senior sister's safety, I can't care about so many things at this moment.
When Zheng Cheng saw the two of them, he smiled in surprise and sighed in his heart, it seems that his junior sister's love for him is finally not unrequited.
The other people in Xuanling Sect already knew about the relationship between Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan. They were extremely envious, and some even felt jealous.
Li Xuanfeng has handsome features, and Shen Luoyan has a delicate face. In addition, Li Xuanfeng has demonstrated powerful cultivation and combat power. They can be said to be a perfect match. Naturally, there are some people who secretly admire them. Seeing the two of them walking together, a little jealousy is inevitable.
But they were more blessing, because the environment of Xuanling Sect was inherently gentle, without so much intrigue and not too many people with malicious minds.
After a brief discussion, everyone from Xuanling Sect began to enter the vortex, with Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan at the front and Zheng Cheng following behind.
This is to protect everyone's safety. The two strongest fighters are allowed to enter the vortex one after the other. The one walking in front is Li Xuanfeng. His fighting power is stronger than Zheng Cheng, and he has the incredible defensive power of the Purple Destroying Stick. Even if he encounters danger, there will be no accidents.
Shen Luoyan took out a protective magic weapon to cover the two of them, and Li Xuanfeng also took out the Purple Destroying Stick and was ready at any time.
When a not too strong feeling of distortion came, the figures of Li Xuanfeng and Shen Luoyan disappeared in the vortex first!
It’s not that the teleportation power is not strong, but with Li Xuanfeng’s current physical body, the teleportation array that can make him feel the strong teleportation power already requires an extremely long distance!
As soon as he disappeared from the vortex, Li Xuanfeng felt the scorching heat coming towards him. When he looked around, he suddenly discovered that he and Shen Luoyan had appeared above a deep red area!
I saw a dark red liquid with no visible boundaries below, and there were many bubbles in it. It was actually boiling!
This... is an extremely vast sea of magma!
After appearing, Li Xuanfeng sensed it slightly, and then looked up at the sky in shock. He felt an extremely strong suppressing force, which was the breath of the forbidden sky. He was afraid that even with his current cultivation level, he would not be able to fly to a height of thirty feet!
There is an extremely powerful air suppression in this space. The higher you go, the stronger the suppression becomes. I am afraid that at this moment, cultivators in the early stage of Lingdan can only fly at a height of less than ten feet, and cultivators in the spiritual foundation realm will be able to fly even lower!
Just as Li Xuanfeng and the other man appeared, a huge snake-shaped beast rushed out from the magma, opened its bloody mouth and swallowed Li Xuanfeng and the other man directly!
This snake-shaped beast was five meters long and half a meter thick. It had hard scales on its body that flashed a dazzling red light, and a black and red flesh ball on its head. It looked quite strange!
"Lava snake!" Li Xuanfeng said softly. This creature was recorded in the jade slip given by the sect. It is the main danger on the third floor!
Li Xuanfeng has already sensed the aura of this lava snake, which is from the early stage of elixir.
As it was galloping towards Li Xuanfeng and the other man, it seemed to sense the powerful aura of Li Xuanfeng's cultivation. The lava snake instantly sprayed out a red light in the air. This red light emitted an astonishingly high temperature, as if it was concentrated magma!
This magma exudes an aura that is enough to make even an early stage Lingdan feel dangerous. The temperature of this magma is extremely high. Even if an early stage Lingdan touches it, he will be skinned alive if he does not die!
Li Xuanfeng pulled Shen Luoyan, and with just a slight flash, he dodged the magma and instantly appeared next to the lava snake. He smashed it down with the Purple Destroying Stick in his hand, and the lava snake exploded, spraying hot blood and magma into the magma sea!
When the lava snake exploded, a deep red elixir floated down and was sucked into Li Xuanfeng's hand before falling into the lava sea.
Li Xuanfeng held the elixir in his hand, condensed the devouring power, and took a slight inhalation. A large amount of spiritual power in the elixir was absorbed into Li Xuanfeng's body.
Then a hint of surprise flashed in Li Xuanfeng's eyes. This kind of elixir contained extremely pure fanatical spiritual power, which was very good for improving cultivators with fire-attributed physiques. Even if one did not have a fire-attributed physique, one could still absorb the pure spiritual power inside after refining it!
After this lava snake was killed by Li Xuanfeng, three lava snakes rushed out again as the lava sea surface rolled. They obviously felt that their fellow creatures had been killed and came to take revenge!
Among these three lava snakes, there is one that exudes the aura of a mid-stage spiritual elixir!
At this time, other people from the Xuanling Sect began to appear. Before they could see the place clearly, they found three lava snakes attacking them!
When they saw a lava snake in the middle and early stages of the Lingdan realm galloping towards them, their pupils shrank slightly, but they immediately felt relieved when they thought of Li Xuanfeng's powerful fighting ability.
Li Xuanfeng pulled Shen Luoyan's figure and flashed three times. The three lava snakes had no chance to resist at all. They were crushed in the blink of an eye. Their bodies fell into the lava sea, and their spirit cores were taken out by Li Xuanfeng!
Shen Luoyan felt the strong wind whistling past her ears and at this moment she personally experienced Li Xuanfeng's amazing speed.
After killing three lava snakes, Li Xuanfeng handed three spirit cores to Shen Luoyan.
His cultivation had already reached the late stage of elixir. This kind of spirit core from the early stage of elixir had almost no improvement for him, so it was more suitable for her to absorb.
“Senior Sister, this spirit core contains strong fire-attributed spiritual power. You need to refine the spiritual power within it when you absorb it.” Li Xuanfeng said softly as he handed over the spirit core.
Shen Luoyan has an ice-attributed physique. If he directly absorbs the spiritual power with fire-attributed aura in his spiritual core, it will have an adverse effect on his cultivation.
Hearing Li Xuanfeng's concern, Shen Luoyan agreed with a smile. She felt as if she was dreaming during this period of time. Her junior brother suddenly revealed his feelings, making her extremely happy in an instant.
Shen Luoyan was even somewhat grateful for the danger of the Moon Sea Secret Realm, which made Li Xuanfeng reveal his hidden feelings.
While Shen Luoyan was thinking happily in his heart, all the people from Xuanling Sect had appeared one after another, and they all looked at the environment here with great fear.
Even with Li Xuanfeng's powerful spiritual sense, he could not sense the end of this sea of magma. However, his spiritual sense was now strong enough to sense a range of three thousand feet!
Even Li Xuanfeng could not sense it, let alone other people from the Xuanling Sect. Their spiritual awareness could not be compared with Li Xuanfeng's at all. Even Zheng Cheng's spiritual awareness was only more than half of Li Xuanfeng's!
When they felt the suppressive force in the air, their faces changed drastically, and fear emerged uncontrollably in their hearts. It seemed as if this place was built like this intentionally so that people who arrived here could not pass through easily!
On both sides and behind the lava sea, there is a stone wall thousands of feet high. If they were in the outside world, they could easily jump over this height, but here, it is simply impossible!
The suppressive force in the air was extremely strong, and they could only fly at a height of about ten feet. This height could be reached in an instant for the extremely fast lava snakes!
Even if they chose to climb the mountain wall with their bare hands, it would be of no avail. This powerful suppressing force also existed on the mountain wall. When they reached a height at which they could fly, it would be difficult for them to climb up an inch more!
This means that if you want to pass through this sea of magma, you can only fly over the magma, but if the flying height is not high enough, you will inevitably be attacked by countless lava snakes!
People who enter the third level of the secret realm have no choice of path. Unlike the second level where they can bypass the edge of the thunder sea, if they want to pass through the magma sea now, they can only cross it. The center of the magma sea cannot be avoided!
And just now they had seen that at the edge of this lava sea, there were lava snakes above the Lingdan realm. It was hard to imagine how powerful the lava snakes in the center were!
There are even many people who have begun to regret that they should not have ignored the sect's records. The jade slips clearly stated that the third level of the secret realm is extremely dangerous even for a cultivator in the Lingdan realm!
There is no exaggeration in this statement, and it is even a bit conservative. I am afraid that even a cultivator in the Lingdan realm would be in great danger in this sea of magma!
After Li Xuanfeng killed four lava snakes, no more lava snakes escaped from the magma to attack for the time being. However, this place was only the edge of the magma sea. In the center of the magma sea, there were countless powerful lava snakes!
All the people from Xuanling Sect have already entered this place, including Zheng Cheng who is at the back of the hall.
Facts have proved that Li Xuanfeng and Zheng Cheng's method was extremely comprehensive, leaving the people in the square with no chance to take advantage, and they were not successfully attacked by lava worms when entering the third floor.
Those who had entered the third level previously, unless they were strong in cultivation, were more or less injured by the attacks of lava worms, and many even died in the sea of magma!
However, Li Xuanfeng and others did not suffer any casualties here.
After everyone entered the third level, Zheng Cheng did not choose to stay here, but led everyone to fly directly to the center of the magma sea!
Although this place is on the edge of the lava sea, there are still many lava snakes appearing here, and that does not mean that stronger lava snakes will not be attracted. Therefore, staying here is useless. It is better to cross this vast lava sea as soon as possible!
Just when everyone had walked a short distance forward, ten lava snakes suddenly rushed out from the sea of magma and attacked them directly!
Ten strong red lights shot out instantly, causing the temperature around everyone to rise again!
Everyone took action to block the red light emitted by the lava snakes, and used magic to attack the lava snakes that had reached them. In the blink of an eye, they worked together to kill all ten lava snakes!
After taking out the spirit core , everyone discovered the pure spiritual power in the spirit core and could not wait to absorb it into their Dantian, with a hint of excitement flashing in their eyes!
The spiritual power in this kind of spiritual core is of great benefit to them. If they absorb dozens of them, it will be enough to improve their cultivation again.
There are countless lava snakes in this lava sea. In their eyes, it has become an excellent place to improve their cultivation. Although this place is extremely dangerous, the improvement in their cultivation still makes them excited!
Although Shen Luoyan was extremely reluctant in her heart, in front of Li Xuanfeng's surprised gaze, she took the initiative to let go of Li Xuanfeng's big hand and chose to join the team hunting lava snakes.
She was extremely determined in her mind. She didn't want to be protected by her junior brother Li Xuanfeng all the time. She needed to improve her own strength so that she could stand firmly beside Li Xuanfeng!
Li Xuanfeng seldom took action at this time. Most of the time he helped when someone was in danger. This was him taking the initiative to give the opportunity to everyone.
He did not compete with everyone else in hunting the lava worms, otherwise, with his speed, everyone would have little chance of obtaining the spirit core, and the lava snakes would probably be killed one by one by Li Xuanfeng as soon as they appeared!
As they continue to move forward, the lava snakes that come to attack become more and more powerful!
When they moved forward a thousand feet, the lava snake that appeared had already reached the late stage of Lingdan!
This instantly extinguished the excitement in everyone's hearts. At this time, they could no longer sense the end of the magma sea. They were afraid that even at this moment, a lava snake in the late Lingdan stage had already appeared at the edge. What a terrifying existence would appear in the center of the magma sea!
This lava snake was a gigantic monster, thirty feet long and three feet thick. It had a powerful aura of cultivation and was ferociously swallowing Zhu Lie who was not far away from it!
Zhu Lie's burly body trembled, and he was filled with fear. At this moment, the lava snake was less than ten feet away from him, and he could even feel the burning pain on his skin!
At this moment, a blue figure suddenly appeared in front of him. The thin back looked extremely majestic and reassuring in Zhu Lie's eyes!
When the lava snake saw Li Xuanfeng appear in front of it and sensed the threatening aura of his cultivation, it immediately sprayed a red light at him!
The scorching temperature of this red light even made Li Xuanfeng's body feel a little threatened. Although it could not seriously injure him, if it fell on his body, it would cause severe burns to his skin!
Li Xuanfeng made a gesture with one hand and waved it. The water dragon condensed instantly, opened its mouth wide and directly swallowed the red light of the lava worm.
The red light emitted by the lava worm had no effect on the Tide Dragon. Its speed did not decrease at all. It then swallowed the speeding lava snake into its stomach in one gulp!
The lava snake only rolled out a touch of deep red magma in the belly of the water dragon, but it was instantly extinguished by the powerful water-attributed spiritual power, without causing any waves!
