Chapter 866 Submerged In Lava



The geniuses' gazes were horrifyingly fierce, anywhere their powerful eyes landed upon would've caused weak middle stage Primal Sovereigns to collapse to their knees.

Killing intents were whipping out of them like a howling storm to raze celestial mountains into ash.

"Damn!" Song Shen cursed, his knuckles crackling with fiery divine lights to incinerate the sky itself. "They think they can just get away with that shameful sneak attack and leave?!"

His rage along with the others was as intense as the boiling lava. Even though none of them were seriously harmed in the end, it was still a sign of immense disrespect and viciousness to sneak attack them.

Nobody wanted to take such an insult just like that.

But among them, Xuegang and Zhen Meng were the calmest.

Zhen Meng did not go through the portal at first. She looked behind them, her eyes narrowing at the lack of anyone else.

"So, are those three still cultivating? Do they just not want to complete the inheritance?" She asked with evidence annoyance dripping within her tone.

The annoyance was also shared with Song Shen and Yang Yimu.

They weren't annoyed because the trio weren't respecting going with them. Rather, they were irate at the fact that the trio could truly be wonderful helpers in getting revenge and making it to the end, but they all seemed far too concerned with themselves.

Among them, Xuegang had the obvious soft spot to defend them. Especially after Cain went out of his way to help her.

She gently sighed, saying, "Isn't how they act the complete same for many others like us back at home? It's better to be gracious for their help than to pester and annoy them. Besides, they will still hold true to their words in helping us. Without Cain, I truly would have been in a tricky situation."

"That..." The others would still prefer the trio to be with them. Yet, nobody could deny that Cain wouldn't take action if the situation called for it.

With those thoughts in mind, they did calm themselves towards the trio. But they were still met with another issue.

Yang Yimu crossed her arms and said, "While that's good and all, we still have to deal with the rest of this inheritance along with others trying to stab us from a blind spot. Should we just wait for them to come? Or go up by ourselves?"

When saying it in a confident pose, Yang Yimu admittedly wasn't all that confident in going up without any preparation.

The feelings were shared with Song Shen and Zhen Meng.

Just who knows what kind of weird rules and laws were waiting for them in the second world?

Getting ambushed in the second world would inevitably be far worse than anything they encountered here. None of them wanted to die. Nor did they want to concede the treasure of this realm to the other groups. Xuegang slowly furrowed her brows in deep thought.

She considered various matters but didn't stay thinking for too long as the situation did not allow her to take her leisure.

In the end, she told her group, "Let's do it like this. I will stay behind and wait for them. The rest of you will go ahead so that we can stay informed in case anything strange happens. But do not go fast or go looking for some kind of revenge. It'll be a bit of a risk, but I certainly doubt that even the Supreme Soul Void group can just pass through everything with ease. Once we group up back together, then we'll start finding some answers with those sword bastards. Understood?"

Her natural presence made Xuegang's entire body seemingly gleam. She had the true aura of a leader, an empress that nobody could refuse orders from.

Yang Yimu, Song Shen, and Zhen Meng all naturally nodded. They even felt a bit of hope flow through them when saying, "Understood. Good luck."

"Good luck to you three as well." Xuegang smilingly spoke.

Without any more words, the trio of geniuses flew into the Dao portal. Their presence instantly vanished from the lava world.

At the same time, Xuegang flew straight over to the concentrated spot the trio was cultivating in.

She had an incomparable ease flying to this spot. There were no demonic lava creatures or ferocious lava dragons blocking her way. Any type of danger was swiftly dealt with by the combined might of the trio.

Xuegang soon reached close but did not come too close. She stopped only hundreds of meters away, her gaze narrowing at the trio now sitting so close to the ocean of lava essence energy!

Just a single inch more and they will be submerged in the horrifying power of the lava world.

'Just what are they doing? What did they find that we could not find?' Xuegang had numerous questions running through her mind.

She knows for sure if she was submerged in this lava world, there would be no time to cultivate, only using her Dao power to quickly escape from being torched into ashes.

Additionally, despite having immense perception abilities, she could not detect any other Dao principles besides the fire Dao.

Going off the trio's cultivation, Xuegang could at least tell what they were doing was not as simple as cultivating the fire Dao.

Questions continue to fill her mind. But when several minutes passed, something shocked out of her stupor.

The lava essence energy around the trio suddenly began to grow wild. Rumbles spread all across, and gleaming fiery lights began to shoot with the ferocity of a hurricane.

Before Xuegang's very eyes, a tidal wave of lava ocean energy shot out. Everything was covered beneath this immense tidal wave, stars and mortal planets would be torched without any resistance.

This terrifying tidal wave smashed down on the trio, completely submerging them within!

"Ah! Martial brother!" Xuegang's fiercely jolted, her body shaking with worry.

She took only a few steps forward but suddenly froze in her next step. There was some kind of invisible force completely blocking the entire area of the tidal wave.

To get through this, she would need to use her Dao powers. However, Xuegang was reluctant to do so as she could still clearly detect Cain, Luo Na, and Kali's auras.

Furthermore, their auras weren't wild or chaotic, it was still serene, as if they were truly in the middle of a cultivation trance.

Xuegang could only swallow her worries and hope whatever dangerous cultivation they were doing would turn out for the better.

At this time, submerged within the tidal wave of lava, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na did have a divine barrier protecting them from the principles of the lava essence energy.

But they didn't pay too much attention to this. Their minds still stayed focused on perceiving this second source of unfathomable Dao principles.

With their soul energy sinking deeper into the surrounding lava, the trio could feel a calling to their base martial essence.

On instinct, they flowed out their divine and in Luo Na's case holy energy, fusing it into their soul energy.

The connection was seamless. Upon the formation, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na's bodies tremble.

Their Spiritual Seas began to become far clearer than ever before. This path they were trying to comprehend was engulfed in this mysterious fog, being a pathway where a mystical source of power was being held.

Now, submerged deep within the tidal wave of lava while using their martial essence, the fog of this path cleared away by a tiny amount!

Even with just a tiny amount, Cain, Kali, and Luo Na could finally understand just what this source of Dao principles is.
