198: Creatures that cover the sky

Lin Ye had a slight sense of foreboding in his heart.

But if he wanted to prove his hypothesis, he still needed some key items.

Thinking of this, Lin Ye led the many Disciples to continue walking deeper into the flaming mountains.

"Roar..."

Not far away, a roar rang out, and a giant wolf with a completely scarlet body appeared. Flames flickered on its body; it was ten zhang tall and twenty to thirty zhang long, fierce and ferocious.

It roared at the group and charged over.

"You're courting death!"

Two Sequence Disciples rushed forward, each using their own methods.

Two Bao techniques burst forth from their hands, Spiritual Power converging into two sharp arrows that pierced the heavens and struck the giant wolf.

Pfft!

The sound of flesh being pierced rang out. The giant wolf felt the pain and let out a roar, also spitting out a wave of high-temperature fire from its mouth, burning the air until it distorted.

The next moment, Xiang Tiange appeared in front of the giant wolf. With an excited expression on his face, his fists, like two giant hammers, smashed fiercely onto the giant wolf's body.

With a "boom," the giant wolf went flying in response to the blow.

This time, Xiang Tiange had learned to be smart. It could just disappear, right?

Then I won't give you the chance to disappear!

Xiang Tiange's figure flashed, arriving directly in front of the giant wolf. He kicked off with his legs, mounted the giant wolf directly, and began smashing his fists toward that massive wolf head.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

Purple Qi and blood flooded the heavens and earth. His Qi and blood soared into the sky, like an immortal divine furnace burning fiercely.

Under the reinforcement of this terrifying Qi and blood, the giant wolf's head was smashed out of shape. It was seen kneeling directly on the ground, letting out wails.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Tiange had no intention of letting it go and continued to smash his fists down.

The ground beneath his feet developed cracks due to the shockwave, the fissures spreading all the way to the surrounding mountain walls before stopping.

Flying sand and rocks filled the sky, obscuring people's vision.

It was unknown how much time had passed when the rumbling sound disappeared, and Xiang Tiange walked out from the dust with a somewhat smug smile on his face.

The previous giant crocodile simply disappearing had left him full of resentment.

This time, he had beaten the giant wolf to death alive!

Let you disappear, you can't disappear this time, right?

But the next moment, Xiang Tiange's smile froze on his face, as the corpse of the giant wolf on the ground also slowly disappeared before everyone's eyes.

"How is this possible?"

If that giant crocodile and giant wolf were projections, they should have shattered into fragments and disappeared; they certainly shouldn't have vanished before everyone's eyes as if sinking into the ground.

"Don't waste your effort."

After Lin Ye said this softly, he continued walking forward.

Xiang Tiange shook his head, casting aside the displeasure in his heart. This feeling of punching cotton made his Qi and blood churn.

The further they went inside, the more bizarre creatures they encountered.

Giant wolves, blood tigers, birds of prey, demonic apes...

Without exception, these creatures were surrounded by scarlet flames and were massive in size.

Lin Ye knew clearly in his heart that he must be approaching the destination; seeing the creatures gradually increase indicated that the crisis was also about to arrive.

After all, those bizarre Vicious Beasts were not indestructible. Not to mention Xiang Tiange, even the other Disciples working together could suppress them.

Of course, in the end, all those Vicious Beast-like creatures disappeared before everyone's eyes.

After Lin Ye led the group over a mountain, they finally arrived at an even more miraculous area. Upon reaching this area, white waves of Qi erupted from the ground from time to time, the temperature high enough to steam a person alive.

If they hadn't prepared in advance and wrapped their bodies in Spiritual Power, they would likely have been scorched by that heatwave.

Rolling lava fell from the mountain walls, just like waterfalls of red.

And at the very front, there was a tree. Although the tree was bare, it was full of vitality and had not died because of the scalding temperature.

But all the leaves on it had disappeared.

"A banana tree???"

The first moment Lin Ye saw this tree, his eyes were filled with astonishment.

In his memory, this was a plant from Blue Star; how could such a plant exist in this world of cultivation!

banana tree, flaming mountains...

Lin Ye had a bad premonition.

"Roar!!!"

The next moment, a heaven-shaking roar startled everyone.

That giant roar caused the heavens and earth to shake, lava to erupt, and cracks to appear on the mountain walls.

The world seemed to darken, as if something had covered the sun, moon, and stars.

Everyone looked up.

They saw a figure blocking the entire firmament; it was precisely because of the appearance of that figure that the sun and moon lost their luster.

"W-w-what is that thing???"

A Disciple said tremblingly.

That figure was simply too large—a body blocking the firmament, a ferocious and vicious expression, black skin, and two sharp horns on its head emitting a black light.

This was definitely an ancient Vicious Beast!

And it was unknown what race of Vicious Beast it was.

Just one finger was larger than all of them; mountains appeared tiny in front of this creature.

The creature opened its bloody maw, and the foul wind blowing from within made the lava on the ground boil even more intensely.

A pair of scarlet eyes, like stars, stared tightly at the group, as if looking at food.

Xiang Tiange narrowed his eyes, looking at this figure, and said, "Could it be the Heavenly Green Fierce Ox race? Hasn't this race already gone extinct? Why would it appear here? Is this also a projection of the Ancient Battlefield?!"

Lin Ye didn't say a word, but just looking at his solemn expression, one could tell how shocked he was at this moment.

That massive creature that covered the sky just stared fiercely at the group once and then vanished from the firmament.

"Phew..."

Many Disciples all breathed a sigh of relief. That figure's pressure on them was too strong; in other words, if that creature had really come down, let alone fighting, they wouldn't even have the courage to run away.

They probably could only let it devour them completely.

The moment the creature disappeared, a river formed by converging lava appeared in the open space ahead.

The lava flowed slowly, emitting wisps of white steam from time to time.

The banana tree was at the center point of the lava. It had not been incinerated by the scorching lava; it stood within it, unyielding.

Feeling the aura of that lava, Lin Ye said softly, "If I haven't guessed wrong, the Opportunity is beneath that lava."

"Huh?"

Hearing Lin Ye's words, Xiang Tiange took a Spirit Sword out from his qiankun ring, walked to the front of the lava river, and placed the Spirit Sword into it.

Sss!!!

A large amount of white smoke rose from the lava. When Xiang Tiange took the Spirit Sword out, everyone saw that the Spirit Sword had been completely incinerated.

One had to know that the grade of this Spirit Sword was not low, and furthermore, it had the reinforcement of Xiang Tiange's Spiritual Power.

In such a situation, it could still be incinerated?

Just how high was the temperature of the lava? If a mortal body were to go in, wouldn't it be burned directly into ash? No! It wouldn't even leave ash behind!
