C676 Magma Sea
1In the Ghost God's Abyss.
In the sky, Ling Jian was carrying a pair of wings on his back. At this moment, he was rapidly rushing towards the depths of the Ghost God Abyss.
As he gradually entered the depths of the Ghost God Abyss, he could feel that the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth had become exceptionally dense. Of course, this kind of dense Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth was also extremely violent. At this moment, as he went deeper, he could still feel it. The spiritual energy was still rising.
"I never imagined that the spirit energy of the heavens and the earth would be so dense just by getting closer. So it can be imagined that I'll surely be able to rely on the spirit energy to assist me in my breakthrough when I truly arrive at the location of the Natural Spirit Treasure."
Ling Jian muttered to himself, and then a wisp of a bright light flashed within his eyes.
Presently, he hadn't really arrived at the depths of the Ghost God Abyss, yet the dense Spiritual Energy in the heavens and the earth had already gradually appeared, and this had far exceeded his imagination.
He was sure that if he were to take away the Heavenly Dao Spirit Treasure at that time and absorb the spirit energy within it, then his cultivation would surely reach the initial-stage of the Heaven Enlightenment Realm.
Although he had just stepped into the Heavenly Dao Realm, Ling Jian's combat strength was probably something that even the true Divine Incarcerate Sect Master's main body could not do anything to him. At that time, under the premise that his body and consciousness were strengthened once again... There were no cultivators who could pose a threat to him in the next eight days.
"Is this the place?"
Ling Jian, who was flying, suddenly took a closer look. In his field of vision, an extremely vast sea of magma appeared.
The lava was pitch-black in color, and the entire sea of lava was like a sea of death, deep and boundless.
Ling Jian's divine sense swept across it, and he could see black smoke rising from the pitch-black sea of lava. The smoke gave people a strange feeling, as if it possessed some kind of magical force. At this moment, it was spreading out along the protective barrier around the Ghost God Abyss.
Shua!
Ling Jian's figure was very fast, like a bolt of lightning. The wings on his back suddenly disappeared, and his body steadily landed at the edge of the lava sea.
Ling Jian's eyes did not have any ripples. Although the temperature of this lava sea was very high and might be a threat to ordinary peak cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Path, Ling Jian did not take this temperature to heart.
Moreover, the spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth here was far denser than other places in the Ghost God Abyss. At the same time, the darkness between the heaven and earth and the violent power was also even stronger.
If it was an ordinary cultivator, even if they could be unafraid of the high temperature here, if they were eroded by this dark and violent power, they might not be able to stay even if they used all of their techniques.
However, this was obviously not a problem for Ling Jian. Regardless of whether it was the high temperature or the violent and dark energy contained within the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, they were unable to cause him any injuries.
"Looks like it should be this lava sea."
Ling Jian looked at the boundless sea of lava and muttered to himself beside it. He could sense that the aura of Truth Listener had disappeared from this place.
It was obvious that Diting had already entered the sea of magma before him.
His gaze swept across the sea of magma before him, and another image appeared in his mind.
It was also a dark black sea of lava. Due to the existence of the Heavenly Dao Treasure, the red lava here had been assimilated by the dark energy contained within.
"Looks like the Heavenly Dao Spirit Treasure should be in this sea of lava in front of me."
Ling Jian's eyes lit up at this moment, and the scene in his mind perfectly coincided with the scene in front of him.
He was very clear that this place could already be considered the deepest part of the Ghost God Abyss, and the sea of lava in front of him was the center of the deepest part of the entire Ghost God Abyss.
"You think this sea of lava can stop me?"
Ling Jian shook his head slightly and looked at the sea of lava. After a moment of silence, without any hesitation, he leapt forward and rushed into the sea of lava like a fish.
Plop.
The sea surface of the sea of magma suddenly splashed with waves. After a couple of breaths, it gradually calmed down.
At the same time, Ling Jian's figure, who had dived into the magma sea below, also swiftly dived into the magma sea at this moment.
He did not pay much attention to the surrounding magma.
The reason why it was like this was not because he was resistant to this sea of magma. After all, this was only the first time he had come into contact with it.
Besides, the flesh of a cultivator was incomparable to that of a ferocious beast.
The reason why Truth Listener was able to travel unimpeded in the sea of magma was because it had always lived in such an environment. This sea of magma contained a large amount of dark energy, as well as the magma that had been assimilated by the dark energy. He was born with this kind of energy as food, so he could naturally resist it to a certain extent.
However, Ling Jian was different. Although his physical body had already reached the Heavenly Dao Realm in advance, he was far from being able to resist the power in this sea of lava.
Although the strength of his body could not ignore the temperature of the magma sea, this did not mean that Ling Jian had other methods. Currently, there were dark flames engulfing his body. These flames vaguely formed a faint film that covered his body.
"The strange fluctuation in the sea has become increasingly clear. It seems that it is indeed a Heavenly Dao Treasure."
Ling Jian carefully sensed for a moment. After which, the glow in his eyes became increasingly brighter.
Although his Divine Perception was currently unable to be displayed in the Ghost God Abyss, however, with his abilities... Apart from his Divine Sense, he also possessed an extremely strong perception. Under this perception, even without the assistance of his Divine Sense... He was also able to clearly distinguish the location of the Heavenly Dao Treasure.
"It just so happens that other than the Heavenly Dao Treasure, that beast is also here. At that time, it will be convenient for us to get rid of it together."
Ling Jian's mind moved. Without the slightest hesitation, a majestic Spiritual Energy whizzed and erupted as his figure swiftly flew into the distance.
...
Truth Listener did not have any feelings towards Ling Jian entering the sea of lava.
This was not because Truth Listener had relaxed its vigilance after entering the Magma Sea Region. It had never thought that this fellow would actually dare to enter the Magma Sea Region.
In its opinion, although Ling Jian's combat strength was not weak, he was still just an ordinary cultivator.
To him, the reason why he was able to enter was because Truth Listener had lived in this place for a long time and was innately gifted with a strong resistance to dark energy.
Due to the existence of the Heavenly Dao Treasure, not only was the dark energy extremely terrifying, even the assimilated lava was extremely difficult to deal with.
Ordinary ferocious beasts would not dare to enter it easily, let alone Ling Jian, who was merely a human cultivator.
With this attitude, Truth Listener no longer had any extra considerations. Its body swam towards the deepest part of the sea of magma, lying in one of the spots to recover from its injuries.
Ever since it entered the Ghost God Abyss, this should be the first time in its life that it had suffered such a serious injury. Not only did its body not stop bleeding, but the worst part was that even the Heavenly Dao Realm that it had gone through great difficulty could fall at any time.
This was definitely an injury that it could not ignore.
It had already been at the end of its flight when it forcefully endured the power of Ling Jian's slap earlier.
And now, in order to escape, it did not hesitate to use its blood essence and dark fire as the price. It even added injuries to its injuries, adding to the situation.
It could be said bluntly that if it wasn't for the fact that it was Truth Listener, it had... The bloodline of a Divine Beast would have the chance to enter the level of the Earthly Hades Divine Beast in the future... In addition, his cultivation had already reached the Heavenly Dao Realm of human cultivators, thus his series of injuries... It could cost him his life.
ROAR!
Roar! Roar!
Truth Listener let out a beast roar that was mixed with some anger. If one listened carefully, one would be able to tell that it was weak and powerless.
The current Truth Listener was no longer as powerful as it had been when it had first appeared. The aura on its body was weak. Its cultivation base was on the verge of falling. If there were any more small accidents... Perhaps it would really return from the Heavenly Dao Realm to the peak of the Heavenly Spirit Path.
"That damned human cultivator. When I return to the Underworld in the future, I'll definitely have the elders of my clan take action and settle this score."
Truth Listener said in a low voice, his gaze revealing a hint of resentment, and his killing intent towards Ling Jian increased even more.
Although Truth Listener possessed tyrannical flesh and blood that temporarily protected his life, the heavy injuries on his body were not something that could be recovered so easily.
Under the current condition of his injuries, even though he was in the sea of lava, he could still feel traces of burning pain coming from his body.
Clearly, if it stayed in the sea of lava for a long time, not only would it not be able to make his condition improve, it might even worsen.
However, when he thought of his own race, Diting's beast eyes flashed with a cold light.
Diting's clan was extremely powerful in the Earth Mansion Realm. Any expert that walked out would be able to sweep across any part of the Great Void Sky for the next eight days.
Using it to deal with Ling Jian was naturally a simple matter.
"However, this human kid is too abnormal. He only has the cultivation of the Skysoul Society. How can he possibly possess such terrifying combat strength?"
Thinking back to Ling Jian's previous exchange with him, even Truth Listener, who possessed an extended bloodline, felt his heart palpitate.
It could be said without exaggeration that if it had not been Truth Listener in the previous exchange with Ling Jian, any ferocious beast, even if it was a Heavenly Awakening middle-stage beast, would probably not have been able to do anything to Ling Jian.
It was even to the extent that if not for its fast speed of escape and its familiarity with the Ghost God Abyss, which allowed it to escape with the help of the sea of lava, perhaps it would have died at Ling Jian's hands by now.
"Let's stabilize our injuries first. We'll talk about the rest after our injuries are healed."
As Truth Listener thought of this, he immediately prepared to fully heal his injuries.
"Huh?"
However, just as he was about to block out his surroundings, an unusual fluctuation suddenly spread out from within the sea of lava.
Truth Listener's pupils constricted immediately, and he quickly distinguished that this unusual fluctuation did not belong to a Heavenly Dao Treasure.
This caused it to instantly become vigilant.
Just as it was about to investigate, a slender young man had already appeared in front of its line of sight.
"Ling... Ling Jian!"
In just an instant, Diting's beast face was completely shaken. Looking at the figure in his field of vision, his face was filled with disbelief.
What did it see?
Ling Jian had actually arrived in front of him, and in such a short period of time.
"This... This is impossible, the power of this lava sea is extremely powerful, how did you manage to shuttle in?"
Truth Listener's voice was trembling as it stared at Ling Jian's figure. Even its body was trembling continuously. It was completely on the verge of insanity.
He had long regarded this sea of lava as the safest place for him. Otherwise, he would not have rushed over despite being heavily injured.
Ling Jian did not speak directly. He just put his hands behind his back and cast a pair of indifferent eyes on the nervous Diting.
He could feel that Truth Listener was nearing the end of its life, so he did not choose to make a move at the first moment.
After Ling Jian stabilized his body, his gaze firmly locked onto Diting. Within the Glory's Will Palace, that wisp of sword qi aura, which was both tangible and illusory, was quietly drawn out by him.
He was not worried that Truth Listener would escape at this moment, but that he intended to destroy Truth Listener's soul.
"Ling Jian, you're just a human cultivator. Your physical body can't possibly be impervious to fire and water, right? How exactly did you shuttle through this sea of lava?!"
Truth Listener looked at Ling Jian at this moment and asked loudly at the same time.
"With your experience, how could you possibly know so much?"
Ling Jian said lightly.
In fact, with his current method, he wrapped the Undying Black Flame around his entire body. The power of the sea of lava was quietly absorbed and refined by the Undying Black Flame. The true power that was used on his body was negligible. He naturally could not sense it.
It could be said that even though Truth Listener already had some resistance to this sea of lava, it really could not be compared to Ling Jian now.
This caused Truth Listener to be instantly dumbfounded. At this moment, he even seriously doubted whether he was Truth Listener or this human youth in front of him.
"This... How is this possible!?"
Truth Listener finally could not take it anymore and could not help but roar.
Ling Jian just looked indifferently at Truth Listener and shook his head slightly. Then, the aura that had locked onto it suddenly surged out, bringing along a large area of magma. It seemed to have transformed into an incomparably huge black sword that slashed down furiously in the direction of Truth Listener.
"Soaring Sword... I am a member of the Truth Listener Tribe. If you dare to kill me..."
Diting was trembling with fear. It was like a lamp that had run out of oil. How could it possibly resist the powerful attack of the Master Ling Jian that had yet to appear?
Although it was currently heavily injured, its senses were extremely sharp. It was able to sense that this attack that Ling Jian had yet to use was definitely incomparably powerful compared to any previous attack.
It could only bitterly beg Ling Jian, hoping that he could use this to obtain a chance of survival.
