Chapter 1243: Chapter 443: Seeking Wealth in the Pit_2

The island is lush with greenery, filled with towering phoenix trees and many abandoned stone structures.

Many phoenix trees still bear pavilions and towers, which served as the ‘nests’ of the Phoenix Clan, but now lie abandoned.

Only the trees remain here, with no living creatures present.

Guilingling whispered, “Is the Undying Volcano here?”

“This used to be the old home of our Phoenix Clan, but it was abandoned due to the depletion of Spiritual Power.”

The Roc Bird said:

“The Undying Volcano is on the other side, the reverse of this secret realm.

“There are many restrictions there, some of which even I don’t know how to解除…Your Majesty, let’s hurry; there’s already a magical combat happening over there.”

Qing Su advised, “Be careful in everything.”

The Roc Bird led the way, guiding them quickly to the stone hall at the center of the island.

Inside the stone hall was a pool shimmering with radiant light, the heat palpable upon approaching it.

Li Ping’an heard the voice of the Faceless One from the Heavenly Dao within his Spirit Platform: “Your Majesty, the Undying Volcano is a convergence point of the three thousand Great Dao, containing many treasures of the Dao. If you have the opportunity, you could obtain some to enhance yourself.”

This was the first time the Heavenly Dao proactively reminded him to collect treasures.

Li Ping’an couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly.

Did he seem like an earnest Heavenly Emperor? Why did he come here? Wasn’t it to see if he could gain some benefits and, in passing, improve his rapport with the Phoenix Clan?

The Roc Bird made a gesture of invitation, eagerly diving into the pool.

Li Ping’an, Guiling, and Qing Su leaped into the pool simultaneously.

They instantly felt dizzy, their heads down and feet up. Even though their feet entered the water first, a shallow membrane appeared above their heads.

All four of them emerged from the water membrane, with a starry sky appearing overhead.

Beneath the starry sky stood a magnificent volcano in the void, surrounded by numerous streams of light darting everywhere, disappearing and reappearing. These were likely Kong Xuan and the Phoenix Clan warriors searching for Kunpeng’s shadow.

“Be careful, Your Majesty, this place is full of traps that constantly change.”

Suddenly!

Li Ping’an’s moral compass flared with warnings of danger from above; Guiling cried out in alarm, raising the Great Shield horizontally with her shell.

But Guiling’s movement was a moment too late!

Dozens of fist shadows erupted from the side, flipping Guiling’s misplaced shell and raining down on Li Ping’an like a storm!

This sudden change caught the four of them off guard.

Especially since they had just seen Kong Xuan and the Phoenix Clan warriors, instinctively assuming the area was safe.

At that critical moment, Li Ping’an’s muscles tensed, and the Xuantian Tower and the Fallen Immortal Seal simultaneously appeared. His robe exploded, and his skin glowed with deep blue light.

He withstood several punches, his form being sent flying, crashing into a transparent barrier.

“Your Majesty!”

The Roc Bird roared angrily, its wings spreading to block most of the incoming fist shadows, its form being repeatedly forced back.

Meanwhile, a white shadow swiftly followed, diving into the transparent barrier as well.

“Qing Qing!”

Guiling charged forward with her shield, but her form hit empty air, as if the transparent barrier had vanished. Suddenly, the ground beneath her feet disappeared, a vortex engulfed Guiling from below.

In the starry sky, several large stars shone in a sequence, altering the formation of the myriad stars.

Above the shallow, hundred-zhang diameter pool, the Roc Bird was enveloped in golden flames, glaring at the assailant.

Not far away, the Calamity Lord, who had assumed a twelve-zhang golden body, squinted with a smile, lightly raising an eyebrow at the Roc Bird.

The Calamity Lord chuckled, “Friend, why don’t you take me to find your mother’s remains?”

“Get lost!”

The Roc Bird charged forward at top speed, wielding a Long Spear in its hands.

The Calamity Lord let out a slight chuckle, standing steady as a mountain, revealing a thousand arms behind him.

If facing a fully recovered Roc Bird, he would have retreated slightly. But with the Roc Bird in such a heavily injured state, there was some chance of capturing it.

The premise was that the Roc Bird should not escape.

A great battle erupted here, yet Kong Xuan and several Phoenix Clan warriors, still searching around the Undying Volcano, did not notice the change here.

The seemingly transparent space concealed unknown traps and illusionary realms.

…

“Cough! Cough cough!”

Li Ping’an lay in a pool of magma, with five or six indentations in his body.

The magma, with its extremely high temperature, tried to consume his body. Fortunately, his mastery of the Gonggong Body Tempering Method was advanced enough that it didn’t affect him much, except for the concern over losing his pants.

How could the Calamity Lord be here?

Li Ping’an cursed silently at the devious and unscrupulous being. This Daluo Golden Immortal tried to assassinate him last time, and now launched a sneak attack, determined to kill him.

It nearly worked for the Calamity today.

A sound of swords echoed from beside him.

Li Ping’an tried to turn his head, straining his eyes to look to the left, where he saw Qing Su battling fiery monsters.

He gritted his teeth, attempting to sit up from the magma, and indeed managed to raise himself slightly.

A beam of Ice Blue Immortal Light flashed, instantly freezing Li Ping’an into an ice block.

“I can handle it.”

Qing Su’s voice came, her Ice Blue Longsword releasing intersecting ice blades as she seemed to casually take a few steps forward, freezing the lion-like flame monsters and then shattering them into pieces.

Qing Su floated over to the magma pool, her toes lightly touching the surface, instantly covering it with a layer of frost.

Li Ping’an was freed from the ice and lifted up by a strand of immortal power.

Now, he was left with only a pair of tattered pants, along with the various treasures he wore, and… the astonishingly crafted pair of boxer shorts.

Qing Su frowned lightly, her delicate fingers brushing across Li Ping’an, swiftly healing his wounds.
