Invincible Soul Emperor

Chapter 819: Chapter 819: Exceptionally Dangerous

Under the gentle sway of seawater, they appear particularly tranquil and mysterious.

Each stone statue seems to recount ancient history and hidden legends.

At the entrance to the Teleportation Portal, there are two enormous Sea Beast Statues standing guard on either side like Guardians. The statues have their eyes inlaid with glittering gemstones, watching the travelers as if alive. Their forms are imposing, exuding an intimidating aura that inspires awe.

Just as Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao were about to step into the Teleportation Portal, they suddenly noticed another Teleportation Array beside it.

This Teleportation Array is very new, but clearly it has been used, leaving only the remnants of the Formation.

Ye Qingchen furrowed his brow, carefully observing every detail of the Teleportation Array: ”Xue Zhao, this Teleportation Array looks very familiar, we seem to have seen it somewhere.”

Xue Zhao also examined the Teleportation Array closely, and after a moment, she flashed a look of surprise: ”That’s right, this Teleportation Array is precisely the one from the day I emerged, used by Xiao Xiao and the others!”

Ye Qingchen nodded, his doubts turning into certainty: ”It seems it really is Xue Wei!”

The two exchanged a glance, simultaneously feeling a surge of uneasy foreboding.

Ye Qingchen took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: ”It seems we must be even more cautious. Before, we only suspected he might act within the Secret Realm, now it’s a hundred percent confirmed.”

Xue Zhao nodded: ”Yes, we must head to the Volcano, but along the way, it won’t be easy for us!”

Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao soon arrived in front of the Teleportation Portal, feeling the strong fluctuations of Spiritual Power and ancient aura around them.

Ye Qingchen took a deep breath, his gaze resolute as he looked at Xue Zhao: ”Xue Zhao, let’s go in.”

Xue Wei hadn’t acted in the previous two parts, so more likely his moves were behind them.

However, Ye Qingchen wasn’t afraid!

Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao finally stepped into the Teleportation Portal.

Amidst the flickering light, they felt a powerful force transporting them to a brand new world. As the light gradually faded, they stood before a scorching Volcano, the sight before them was breathtaking.

The Volcano soared into the clouds, its body a mix of black and red, seemingly with countless streams of Lava flowing over its surface. The thick scent of sulfur permeated the air, and flames and smoke erupted from the crater, soaring skywards, as if coloring the entire sky red. Lava slowly flowed down the slopes, like fiery red dragons swimming across the mountain’s surface.

The surrounding ground was filled with seething Magma Pools, with magma bubbling and occasionally splashing sparks. The surface rocks baked red-hot by the high temperatures emitted scorching breaths, seemingly ready to melt at any moment.

The environment around the Volcano was full of desolation and peril. Sparse plants resiliently grew on the scorching ground, their colors a bright red, seemingly absorbing the Volcano’s power.

Occasionally, a few heat-resistant Exotic Beasts appeared in view, their skin a fiery red, blending into the surroundings.

At the Volcano’s base lay a vast Magma Lake, with giant Volcanic Rocks floating on the surface. In the center of the Magma Lake stood a constantly erupting magma column, spewing Lava like a fountain of fire, casting the entire lake into daylight.

Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao stood at the edge of the Volcano crater, feeling the surging heat. Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but say: ”Xue Zhao, there seems to be no shortcut here, we must pass through.”

Xue Zhao nodded: ”Yes, we have to pass through here.”

Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao carefully traveled along the edge of the Volcano, despite the seemingly peaceful surroundings, it was full of concealed danger.

Within the Volcano, the walls were covered in fiery red moss, lightly swaying in the breeze, emitting a weak red glow, as if ready to erupt into deadly flames at any moment.

The surface was covered in a thick layer of volcanic ash, every step made Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao’s hearts tremble, as unknown dangers might be hidden beneath the ash.

They walked over a seemingly tranquil flatland surrounded by silence, only the occasional thunderous sounds from the Volcano echoed from afar. Suddenly, Xue Zhao noticed some strange crevices on the ground ahead, with faint red glows flickering within, as if magma flowed beneath.

”Qingchen, be careful of these crevices.” Xue Zhao softly reminded, eyes filled with vigilance.

Ye Qingchen nodded, they circumvented those crevices and continued forward. With each step, they felt the heat emanating from beneath, as if the ground might split and engulf them at any moment.

After walking a distance, they entered a Stone Forest. The rocks here were of all shapes, some like sharp blades, others like huge columns reaching the cloud. Within the Stone Forest, the Volcano’s heat steamed upwards, forming thin layers of mist, rendering the vision blurry.

Strange sounds occasionally emerged from the Stone Forest, as if some creatures were secretly watching. Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao became more cautious, knowing that this seemingly peaceful Stone Forest harbored countless crises.

”Xue Zhao, be careful.” Ye Qingchen whispered, tightly gripping the sword in his hand, ready to face sudden attacks.

Xue Zhao nodded in response, they continued forward, their steps careful.

Although the environment seemed calm, they knew every seemingly peaceful place might hide deadly traps.

Suddenly, a violent tremor came from underground, causing the entire Stone Forest to start shaking, rocks falling, the ground cracking, and a surge of searing magma burst from a crevice.

”Run!” Ye Qingchen shouted, and they quickly evaded the falling rocks and erupting magma, maneuvering through the Stone Forest. Despite the perilous surroundings, they remained calm and cooperative, successfully avoiding crisis after crisis.

Finally, they traversed the Stone Forest and arrived at the Volcano’s heart. The scenery here was more magnificent, yet full of unknown dangers.

The Volcano’s heart differed entirely from what they saw at the foot initially. Ye Qingchen and Xue Zhao stood at the edge of a vast volcanic basin, the sight before them made them hold their breath.

The landform within the Volcano’s heart was more complex and varied, the surface covered in dark red rocks and thick layers of volcanic ash. The air here was filled with a heavy sulfur smell, yet without the scorching feeling beneath their feet, instead bringing a hint of chill. In the basin’s center lay a massive lava lake, with countless Volcanic Rocks floating atop, Lava slowly flowing within, producing low rumbling sounds, lacking the initial explosive fierceness.

The surrounding rock walls were etched with large magma trails, revealing the past violent scenes, but now everything seemed peculiarly tranquil. Giant black moss grew on the rock walls, seemingly absorbing the Volcano’s heat, emitting a weak glow, causing the entire heart to exude an eerie beauty in the darkness.

However, beneath this eerie beauty, it was enough to make one anxious.

This place is definitely exceedingly dangerous!
