1182: Gain, and keep a steady hand!

Wang Chen felt that there should be a lava river underground at this last target location.

As he continuously advanced and delved deeper underground, the surrounding temperature grew higher and higher, eventually reaching a terrifying degree that ordinary people could not adapt to at all. It was feared that if an ordinary person appeared here, they would be instantly evaporated of their body's moisture, turning into a mummified corpse.

If they continued to advance, not even a mummified corpse would be left, only a pile of ashes after spontaneous combustion.

However, this amount of temperature had no effect whatsoever on Wang Chen's powerful Physical Body now.

Even if he jumped directly into the lava river to take a bath, the temperature of the lava would barely count as warm water.

And this was with him not activating any magical power to protect his body, relying entirely on his powerful Physical Body.

This was the terrifying Physical Body strength capable of traversing the Limitless Void after completing Divine transformation.

Boom!

Soon, as Wang Chen continued to advance, a surging heatwave rushed towards him, and the surrounding environment suddenly became spacious.

He left the soil layer and appeared in a natural cave hundreds of meters deep underground.

Just as Wang Chen had expected, there was an active lava river underground in this area. The moment he arrived in this cave, he saw the fiery red flowing lava.

"This place is truly secluded, buried hundreds of meters underground. For demons who cannot detect their surroundings with Mental Energy and can only lock onto enemies through Aura, as long as they hide their own Aura, they practically don't need to worry about being discovered by demons."

Looking at the surrounding situation, Wang Chen nodded secretly, becoming more and more expectant of the results of his exploration of this area.

"Continue forward!"

He continuously released Mental Energy to scan the surroundings, stepping on the surface of the lava river and exploring forward.

Soon, he reached the end of the lava river, or rather, the end of this natural cave. The lava river was still flowing further away through a crevice.

"Nothing?"

Upon arriving here, Wang Chen felt a bit disappointed.

He looked at the dead end ahead and planned to activate the Law of Earth to open a path, following the flowing lava river to continue exploring.

However, just as he activated the Law of Earth, his expression suddenly changed, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but at the moment he activated the Law, he suddenly felt that the surrounding environment gave him a sense of disharmony, vaguely feeling something was not quite right.

"There's a change!"

"Hahaha, did I really find the hiding place of the Chasing Sun Green Luan?"

After discovering this change, Wang Chen was first surprised, then his mood became excited.

However, at this moment, he did not relax his vigilance; instead, his nerves became even more taut.

The Chasing Sun Green Luan was once a 12th Stage Great Demon King, an immortal-level existence!

Even though she had entered her breeding period, she was still able to hide for thirty years under the pursuit of three Demon Gods and countless demons.

Her strength was definitely not something he could underestimate, and he had to be extremely vigilant when interacting with her.

At this moment, Wang Chen raised his vigilance to the highest level, controlling the Law of Earth to sense the surrounding situation more subtly.

As he locked his perception range to a few miles around, the situation he discovered instantly changed.

Right in the lava river beneath his feet, an invisible object, emitting a faint, peculiar fluctuation, invisible to the naked eye, and almost ignored even with focused perception, was continuously bobbing up and down with the surging lava river.

It seemed to have floated to the surface of the lava river and was blocked from further movement by the suddenly cut-off underground cave's soil layer.

The subtle unease Wang Chen had vaguely sensed before was precisely caused by this invisible object continuously colliding with the soil layer as it flowed forward with the lava river.

"Damn!"

"No wonder I haven't found it for so long. The Chasing Sun Green Luan's hiding method is truly ingenious!"

"It's constantly shifting direction with the flow of the lava. Under normal circumstances, finding it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

After locking onto this invisible object, an indescribable excitement surged in Wang Chen's heart.

At this moment, he felt like he had returned to the day of his class transfer, standing before the Job Advancement Divine Stone, or like the first time he witnessed Ice Purity's appearance.

"Hoo!"

Exhaling a long breath, Wang Chen cautiously activated his Earth-attribute magical power, enveloping the locked invisible object, and then fished it out of the lava river.

Plop! Plop!

Soon, enveloped by Earth-attribute magical power, a two-meter diameter, seemingly non-existent circular entity was pulled in front of Wang Chen, with lava continuously dripping from its surface.

"How do I make this thing appear completely before me?"

After fishing the item out, Wang Chen felt stumped.

He didn't feel any danger from this invisible circular object, nor any powerful Aura. If it weren't for him already enveloping it with Earth-attribute magical power, he might even have overlooked it.

"Never mind, this thing is hidden so deep, it must be related to the Chasing Sun Green Luan, so I must take it back."

"I'll return to Blue Star first and then figure out how to open it. Play it safe first!"

Wang Chen thought to himself, and after attempting to put this invisible object into his spatial ring without success, he simply chose to hold it with his hand, sinking his body into the lava, and then heading towards the cross-realm teleportation passage.

He dared not surface now. The Chasing Sun Green Luan was hidden so deeply, constantly changing positions within the lava, yet the demons above still found her general area. Wang Chen didn't want to test the probability of him being directly discovered by these demons if he went to the surface.

Just like that, without the many Demon Gods above noticing, Wang Chen quietly retreated.

...

"Hoo!"

"It's much safer now!"

On Blue Star, outside the cross-realm teleportation passage located in the former Sakura Country territory, now Long Country's East Sea Province, Wang Chen let out a long breath, a rare look of relaxation on his face.

The blessing of the World Origin descended once again, and he felt that familiar sensation of being filled with power.

At this very moment, he was even stronger than when he entered the Serpent People World before!

Even if the Chasing Sun Green Luan had set up some hidden traps, or if the Chasing Sun Green Luan would immediately appear and attack once the hidden state of the found invisible object was removed, Wang Chen was no longer worried.

The Chasing Sun Green Luan had been chased by the demons of the Serpent People World for thirty years, so her strength at most would be comparable to Kilamil, the strongest Middle Demon God among the Serpent People World demons, perhaps slightly exceeding him, but not stronger.

And now that he had regained the blessing of Blue Star's Origin, his ultimate burst could rival the 11th Stage Late Stage, so bullying a struggling Chasing Sun Green Luan was absolutely no problem.

"Hehehe!"

"Let me see what's hidden inside!"

Calming his excited mood, Wang Chen unhesitatingly activated the Ten Directions All Extinguished's second form, raising his power to its Peak.

Then, vast and boundless Mental Energy surged directly into the invisible object he was holding in his hand.
