Chapter 283: Chapter 283: Extreme Yanyou Water【Fourth update】

With a deafening roar, everyone in the Valley of Death jumped in fright.

Even Jin Wuhui, who was in the midst of a fierce battle with the monks of the Black Flame Sect, turned back in horror.

Yuan Hong’s brutal strike with the rod instantly blasted a huge mountain to pieces, countless chunks of rock fell in all directions like shooting stars, causing the entire Valley of Death to tremble. The scene was heart-stoppingly spectacular, as if heaven and earth were shattering, raising dust hundreds of feet high, and prompting Qin Jun to shield his face with his sleeve as the fierce wind blew.

"Oh my Buddha..."

Sang Liang’s mouth hung open wide at the sight, as if he had lost his soul, unable to close his mouth for a long time, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief.

Black and White Impermanence were also stunned in place, never having imagined the extent of Yuan Hong’s terrifying strength.

Perhaps even Li Yuanba and Lei Zhenzi, under Qin Jun’s command, were not as strong as him...

The fierce wind raged for nearly half a minute before finally coming to a stop. The originally somewhat narrow gorge instantly widened after a continuous mountain range was destroyed, revealing an empty space. Yuan Hong stood with the Fine Iron Rod raised high in one hand, his figure as majestic as Mount Tai, a sight that made Qin Jun’s heart soar with longing.

When could he himself possess such strength?

Li Cunxiao and the others shared the same thought, with only Lei Zhenzi slightly calmer, as he too was a body cultivator and shared the same major realm as Yuan Hong, albeit behind by five minor realms. Of course, within the Golden Immortal Realm, a single minor realm was like a chasm, and with five minor realms...

When the wind blew the dust away, a giant pit where Yuan Hong stood was revealed, inside of which lay dozens of Abyss Sect demon followers in red scorpion black robes. Most of them were already dead, while several twitched agonizingly on the ground, clearly caught off guard by Yuan Hong’s sudden strike; the dead had died without knowing how, and those still alive wished they were dead instead.

Qin Jun stepped to the edge of the vast pit, looked down, and saw a lake of magma at the bottom. Looking around, he could see many skeletons, not just of monsters, but even human bones, sending chills down one’s spine.

"Damn, where’s the damn portal?"

Qin Jun scanned the area and then couldn’t help but curse aloud, as Lei Zhenzi came up to him holding the Bone Eroding Tribulation with one hand.

At that moment, Sang Liang also returned to his senses, crying out like a slaughtered pig, "What are you doing?! If you disturb that demon lord, we are all going to die!"

Qin Jun simply ignored him and turned to Bone Eroding Tribulation with a question, "Are you fucking kidding me? Is this a branch?"

Aside from the several dozen demon followers, this place didn’t seem like a branch of any power but rather an underground prison.

Bone Eroding Tribulation was also dumbfounded and said tremblingly, "I am not sure... I just heard that there is a branch in the unclaimed lands..."

Damn!

It turned out this guy was just going by hearsay!

Qin Jun immediately got annoyed and kicked Bone Eroding Tribulation to the ground with one foot.

"My Lord, let’s go down and ask. There are still living people," Liu Bowen suggested, and upon hearing this, Qin Jun had to suppress his anger. He didn’t want to be here for nothing.

The group jumped down into the giant pit. Sang Liang trembled as he looked around, mumbling something under his breath.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh...

Figures of cultivators suddenly flew in from all directions, obviously attracted by the loud noise that Yuan Hong had caused earlier when he had blasted the mountain.

Qin Jun and his party approached a still-living demon follower. The follower was covered in blood, limbs twitching, lying on the ground like a reptile. The agony of preferring death to living was evident on his fierce face.

"Is this a branch of the Abyss Sect?" Liu Bowen knelt down and asked sternly.

The follower’s neck was already broken; he could only move his bloodshot eyes to look at Liu Bowen and said with difficulty, "Kill me... quickly..."

Unmoved, Liu Bowen replied, "If you tell me, I can save you and let you live without pain."

"It was... before... not now... branch moved... to..." The demon follower spoke haltingly, making Qin Jun increasingly anxious—don’t die before finishing the sentence!

Then, Sang Liang shouted from the edge of the cliff, "Come up quickly! Beware the curse of the demon lord!"

Qin Jun, frustrated, bent over to pick up a stone and threw it with great force, making the stone tear through the air like a cannonball, but unfortunately, Sang Liang dodged with ease.

"Cunxiao! Go and shut him up!"

Qin Jun had no choice but to send Li Cunxiao after Sang Liang, who was becoming too irritating with his useless shouting at a critical time.

"The branch... is at... Black Flame... Sect..." The demon follower got this far before his neck twisted and he died.

Black Flame Sect?

Qin Jun heaved a sigh of relief; at least the fellow had identified the location. Otherwise, it would have been all for naught.

"Your Majesty, aren’t you also cultivating your body? You can’t miss that magma lake," Black Impermanence pointed out with a smile, indicating the nearby magma lake, half of whose contents had erupted everywhere at the bottom of the pit, but still spanned ten meters in diameter.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun hurried over to the magma lake. His Immortal Body had already reached the third layer, and though he aspired to break through to the fourth with the power to uproot mountains, it remained a distant dream. The first three layers improved physical defense, but only the fourth could truly transform his strength.

As for the fifth layer, To Move Heaven and Earth, that was a grand Divine Power that reached through the heavens and the earth.

"Could there be danger inside?" Qin Jun asked Yuan Hong and the others, feeling the intense spiritual energy within the magma lake. Even before stepping in, the heat made his face scorching hot—ordinary people would probably be reduced to bones in an instant if they jumped in.

Yuan Hong shook his head, "I’ve used my Divine Consciousness to check, there’s no danger. The energy inside is violent, but with your body strength, Your Majesty, it’s not a problem."

Hearing that even Yuan Hong, at the ninth layer of the Golden Immortal Realm, said this, Qin Jun felt at ease. He walked towards the magma lake, stripping off his clothes as he went.

"No, be careful! There might be a curse from the demon lord inside!"

The shouts of Sang Liang came again, causing Qin Jun’s mouth to twitch. He turned around, surprised, to see Li Cunxiao chasing Sang Liang. The two weaved through the air at inconceivable speeds.

It turned out the old monk was indeed very strong, for even Li Cunxiao couldn’t catch him.

But was he stronger than Yuan Hong?

Without giving it another thought, Qin Jun leaped into the lake. Instantly, a heat so intense it was unimaginable engulfed his entire body, causing him to throw back his head and howl. Veins on his face bulged in excruciating pain.

His skin felt as if it were exploding, his body no longer his own. He quickly channeled the technique of the Immortal Body to alleviate some of the pain.

"Sss— That’s Extreme Flame Ghost Water, a divine treasure for body refinement!"

A cultivator in the distance pointed at Qin Jun’s location and shouted, causing a stir among the other cultivators.

All of their eyes turned blood-red. The Valley of Death was filled with countless precious herbs and treasures, among which the Extreme Flame Ghost Water was of the highest quality. Even those who were not body cultivators would be tempted, for its value was immeasurable!
