In the Lava Cave.

Chu Yan placed his hands behind his back and waited patiently for Wei Lun to get back.

Many disciples were crowding around the Pool. Some of them had not entered the Pool and some of them were out of the Pool. Some of them were taking a rest before entering it again.

Although every disciple could get into the Lava Cave once a month, as long as they did not get any Dawn Stones, they could go down again.

One would be able to get more Dawn Stones if they had a good performance.

Splash!

At the sound of a splash, a black figure shot out of the Lava Pool.

“Hoho, Wei Lun is back!”

“Wei Lun must have tortured the guy!”

“Wei Lun is fast!”

When the disciples saw Wei Lun, they smiled. Wei Lun had finished his job in no time.

Poof!

Wei Lun, who had just flown out of the Lava Pool, spurted out a mouthful of blood before he landed.

Before his blood fell to the ground, it had turned into red mist due to the high temperature.

“What?”

“Wei Lun is injured!”

When the disciples saw that Wei Lun was injured, they were shocked.

Even Chu Yan was stunned. Has Wei Lun been defeated?

Poof!

The minute Wei Lun landed beside the pool, he spewed out blood again.

The disciples were shocked. Wei Lun is in a sorry state!

“Wei Lun, are you no match for Duan Jingtian?” Chu Yan asked with a gloomy look.

He had underestimated Duan Jingtian. He had never expected Duan Jingtian to defeat Wei Lun.

“Brother Chu Yan, that guy attacked me suddenly!” After catching his breath, Wei Lun spoke, his face pale.

He knew that he was no match for Su Mo but he would not admit it as it would be embarrassing for him. It would be better to tell them that Su Mo had attacked him all of a sudden.

“He attacked you suddenly?” Chu Yan frowned when he heard what Wei Lun had said. Duan Jingtian is crafty!

The disciples were surprised to see that Wei Lun had gotten himself injured instead of teaching Duan Jingtian a lesson!

“That’s right! I blocked his way and intended to talk some sense into him. However, he attacked me suddenly and injured me!” Wei Lun said as he nodded.

“He has gone overboard!” Chu Yan was enraged. Duan Jingtian is a nobody. How dare he be so presumptuous!

A sharp ray of light flashed across Chu Yan’s eyes and he intended to teach Duan Jingtian a lesson personally.

“Brother Chu Yan, let me do it!” A burly youth said as he walked out.

The youth was two meters tall and he was muscular.

At one glance, one would have known that the youth had cultivated every part of his body and he was mighty.

Most importantly, he was a Rank 1 Lower True God.

“Lu Dong, given your strength, you can easily suppress Duan Jingtian. However, I don’t want you to kill him!” Chu Yan shook his head and told the burly youth.

Lu Dong was an Inner Palace Disciple. He was violent and he would not control his strength.

Previously, he had killed two disciples and had been severely punished.

If Lu Dong killed Duan Jingtian, not only he would be punished but Chu Yan would be punished as well.

“Brother Chu Yan, don’t worry! I will not kill him!” Lu Dong patted his chest and assured Chu Yan that he knew what to do.

“Alright. Be careful!” Chu Yan nodded after pondering for a while.

As long as he did not have to do it, he would be happy to let Lu Dong deal with Duan Jingtian.

He would get into trouble if Duan Jingtian complained to the Palace about him.

“I know!” Lu Dong nodded. He then entered the Lava Pool.

“Sigh! Duan Jingtian is in hot soup!”

“He’s as good as dead since Lu Dong will be dealing with him!”

“This is interesting. It’s a pity that we don’t get to witness it!”

The disciples started to discuss among themselves. They had a derisive look on their faces as they had no compassion for Duan Jingtian.

After all, they had grown up in Human Palace while Duan Jingtian was an outsider.

The deacon saw the scene and shook his head.

He would have to deal with Chu Yan and his gang if they got Duan Jingtian killed.

…

In the Lava Pool.

Su Mo continued to walk down the levels. He had already entered level four and there was green magma around him.

The heat increased tremendously as he went further down, and the Five Elements Force outside his body were depleting more quickly.

However, that was not his limit.

Once in a while, the demonic beasts that were formed by the Fire Spirits would attack him. He would only kill them if he was unable to shimmy away from them.

The demonic beasts were powerful but they were unable to stop Su Mo.

The magma at level five turned cyan.

At level six, the magma turned blue.

The magma was gray at level 10.

At level 11, the magma became grayish-white.

If I don’t activate the Blood Force or Chaotic Energy, I will not be able to make it to the lowest level!

When Su Mo was at level 11, he stopped moving. His Five Elements Force was depleting too quickly.

After another 15 minutes, the Dark Force in his body would be drained.

He triggered his thoughts and started to activate the Blood Force Physique.

Swoosh!

Su Mo continued to move down.

“Stop where you are!”

Suddenly, someone shouted. Su Mo lifted his head and saw the magma above him dispersing. A strong aura then surged toward him.

A muscular youth was moving toward him.

Why is there no end to it! Su Mo’s face darkened. He knew that after he had defeated the youth, a more powerful person had been sent to deal with him.

He was enraged. He merely wanted to earn some Dawn Stones but the disciples kept challenging him.

“Get lost or you will have to bear the consequences!” Su Mo shouted sharply.

“Hoho!”

Lu Dong was amazed. Before he showed his power, Duan Jingtian was already behaving arrogantly toward him.

Spatter!

The magma spattered as Lu Dong traveled at lightning speed. In the twinkle of an eye, he was standing in front of Su Mo.

“Hey, if you dare make that same statement again, I will make you suffer!” Lu Dong said he stared at Su Mo.

He gave Su Mo a scornful look. This guy is arrogant and he must be taught a lesson!

“Cut the crap!”

Su Mo did not want to waste his breath on Lu Dong. A sword radiance flashed in his hand and he slashed out hard with his sword.

Su Mo had activated the Great Rotating Sacred Sword Fighting Soul as he knew that Lu Dong was a True God.

He brandished his sword and dazzling five-colored sword radiance shot out. The sharp Sword Qi tore the magma apart and moved toward Lu Dong to attack him.

Swoosh!

An ear-piercing sound whooshed out and caused the magma to seethe. The sword power was overbearing.

“What?” Lu Dong’s expression was similar to Wei Lun’s as he was shocked to see Su Mo’s power.

Rumble!

There was an explosion. Although Lu Dong had tried to fend off the blow, he had ended up in the same situation as Wei Lun. He had been thrown off, but Su Mo had no idea where he had flown to!

“Crazy!” Su Mo muttered to himself. At the same time, he believed that his action would have offended Chu Yan.

However, he was not afraid. There were strict rules in the Palace and as long as he abided by the rules, Chu Yan had no hold over him.

Su Mo then sighed and moved on toward level 12.

He moved at a moderate speed. As he had activated his Blood Force and a bit of his Chaotic Energy, it lessened his pressure.

Level 12!

Level 13!

Level 14!

Su Mo pressed on ceaselessly. His aim was to get to level 18.

The Lava Cave was deadly silent at that moment.

All the disciples widened their eyes as they fixed their gazes on Lu Dong, who had just come out of the Lava Pool.

Lu Dong was in a sorry state. He was spurting out blood and there was a deep cut on his chest, revealing his internal organs.

Lu Dong’s physical body was nearly maimed.

“How can this be!” Chu Yan’s face turned ghastly pale. He had not expected Lu Dong to end up getting severely injured!

The disciples were stunned. Wei Lun has been defeated as Duan Jingtian has attacked him all of a sudden.

Now that Lu Dong has been severely injured, could it mean that it was a sneak attack as well?

If Duan Jingtian were not powerful, it would be impossible for him to inflict such serious injuries on Lu Dong!

Even the deacon was taken by surprise.

He remembered that Duan Jingtian was only a Rank 4 Empty God. However, he had injured Lu Dong, who was a Rank 1 Lower True God!
