Chapter 615: Chapter 288 Wood Sword Immortal (Please Subscribe)_2

The disciples of various sects not only had to search for the “Time Blood Stone” within the secret realm, which extended over three thousand five hundred miles in all directions of north, south, east, and west but also had to guard against others snatching it away, the competition was extremely brutal.

However, Zhou Liangchen knew exactly what Chu Xisheng was up to.

Why search oneself when one could just rob someone else?

Zhou Liangchen was eager to try this, feeling his sword at his waist itching for action.

He was usually a righteous person, but he felt a thrilling excitement when he occasionally did wrong.

Besides, what he was about to rob were individuals from enemy sects and the Demon Sect, which certainly required one to be ruthless and show no mercy.

The three of them pressed forward, and after passing through a fiery tunnel, they entered deep into the belly of the mountain.

At this moment, a wondrous scene unfolded before their eyes.

It was a large molten lake, about seventy acres in area, filled with countless streams of red-hot magma churning within.

What was shocking was that there was a huge serpent floating on top of the magma.

The serpent was covered in red scales, with four transparent wings on its back. Its body was over a hundred yards long, coiled in loops.

Chu Xisheng concentrated his gaze and noticed that the serpent’s eyes were half-open, its pupils lacked focus, clearly still in an unconscious state.

It was awakening, but had not fully come to consciousness.

Chu Xisheng then looked towards the opposite side, at another end of the molten lake, there was a cave that could only allow two people to pass through.

A considerable amount of grey-black death fog seeped through the cave.

That seemed to be the source of the cave’s death fog, most of which were burned away by the scorching heat from the molten lake, while some, pushed by the heat, surged towards the direction where Chu Xisheng and his companions stood.

Chu Xisheng stood by the shore of the molten lake, looking around with his brows involuntarily knit tight, deep in thought.

The place he wanted to explore was that cave filled with an enormous amount of deathly power.

Now there were two difficulties: one was the giant snake in the molten lake.

If they passed over it from above, they would undoubtedly startle it.

The power of this giant serpent surpassed the standards of Sixth Grade.

Typically, nine days after the opening of the Time Secret Realm, this serpent would fully awaken, causing volcanic eruptions with massive amounts of lava spewing from the top, scorching seas of fire covering over twenty miles around.

Several Martial Cultivators who had achieved Fifth Grade promotion in the Time Secret Realm had not lasted even a breath before it.

The second difficulty was the death fog at the mouth of the cave was too dense.

It was beyond the strength of Chu Xisheng.

His “Return Light” skill, he estimated, would not be able to completely reflect that deadly power.

What should they do next?

After a moment, Chu Xisheng had an idea.

He began to dig a hole a hundred feet above the molten lake.

Considering the tunnel they had come through, the “water level” of the molten lake wasn’t high, even in an eruptive state, it had never submerged it.

Still, just in case, Chu Xisheng chose to dig even higher.

The rocks here were made of volcanic ash and lava which had accumulated over time, solidifying and cooling, and were incredibly hard.

But this was not a problem for Chu Xisheng and Zhou Liangchen.

With their spare weapons in hand, one slash made a pit, one sword stroke created a shower of stone chips.

The main force, however, was Bai Xiaozhao, whose claws were more useful, digging ten times faster than the others.

In half a moment, they had excavated a cave about thirteen yards deep.

The cave itself was lower on the outside and higher on the inside, with the deepest part two yards higher than the entrance.

Chu Xisheng then used rocks to seal the entrance.

He was very meticulous, ensuring the rocks were packed tightly, without leaving any cracks, to make sure that the expanding and exploding lava would not flow back into the cave.

Bai Xiaozhao was utterly confused as she looked at the sealed entrance: “The creature in the molten lake seems to be a Tengshe, or at least partially of Tengshe bloodline. What do we do next?”

She couldn’t guess what Chu Xisheng was aiming for.

This seemed like nothing more than a death wish.

Hiding inside the cave, could they avoid that red-feathered serpent’s awareness?

This thirteen-yard cave wouldn’t withstand the power of that serpent.

But Chu Xisheng remained calm and composed, “We just need to lure the Tengshe away.”

Chu Yunyun had said that the Xuanwu giant turtle inside Xuanwu Ice Mountain had shallow wisdom, acting according to certain patterns with a lack of adaptability.

Chu Xisheng speculated that this red Tengshe was probably the same.

If the plan did not work, they could use the Heavenly Balance Holy Sword to escape beforehand.

Chu Xisheng deliberately conserved a large amount of merit to summon this Sect’s Holy Artifact.

The “Heavenly Balance Holy Sword” was tailor-made for the “Measuring Heaven Saintly Inheritance,” including a complete “Heavenly Balance” law.

It was a weapon for escaping and saving one’s life.

With just the ability to shrink ten miles into an inch under their feet, a single step would take the two of them and the beast away.

That was the divine skill of Shrinking Land into Inches—

Bai Xiaozhao and Zhou Liangchen shot each other astonished glances.

Lure away the Tengshe? How to even begin to do that?

They would not survive fifty breaths in the death fog.

And that Tengshe would likely turn them to ash with just a glance.

However, Chu Xisheng had his own methods.

This task could only be done by the immaterial Little Flat Head.

Neither the death fog nor the flames could harm Little Flat Head.

Chu Xisheng raised his hand and patted his abdomen, summoning Little Flat Head from within.

The Vengeful Spirit immediately transformed into a wisp of Golden Wind Qi.

Before Zhou Liangchen could see clearly, it had already drilled out through the rocks.

Chu Xisheng didn’t wait long, just moments later, the ground beneath them shook violently.

That hundred-yard Tengshe let out a low roar at that moment; there was a small wound on its forehead, which caused the Tengshe to wake up hastily. It rose unsteadily from the molten lake, swaying and stumbling.
