Chapter 276 Cultivation Treasure Land
"Let's go!" Lin Mo called out casually, then walked directly towards the lava path beside him.

Han Li and Yuan Yao exchanged a glance, and immediately followed suit like little followers.

Whether it's Han Li, who cherishes his life to the extreme, or Yuan Yao, who came with a heavy responsibility to revive her sister, the most important thing for them at this moment is to cling to Lin Mo, this powerful figure.

In their view, as long as they followed Lin Mo, they would not be in any danger of losing their lives in this Void Heaven Palace.

As soon as they entered the Lava Road, Han Li and his companion felt waves of hot air rushing towards them, the scorching heat making them feel as if they had entered a furnace.

Just as they were about to use their spiritual power to create a defensive shield, Han Li and the others suddenly felt the surrounding heat vanish abruptly, and the pressure from the scorching heat in the air dissipated instantly.

Han Li looked up in surprise at Lin Mo's location, only to see flame vortexes rising around him. Countless fire-elemental energies radiating fiery red light were swallowed up by the vortexes, causing the surrounding heat to cool down abruptly.

What is this ghost?

Han Li subconsciously swallowed. Even a Nascent Soul stage cultivator with a fire-type spiritual root wouldn't dare to absorb this kind of spiritual energy, which was carrying scorching heat. Otherwise, at best, their meridians would be completely destroyed, and at worst, they would suffer from qi deviation and their soul would be scattered.

It's well known that the Ice and Fire Trials of the Void Heaven Palace have always been a nightmare for cultivators. Countless cultivators have spared no expense in preparing special fire-repelling and cold-resistant magical artifacts to pass through this trial. Yet this person before them is casually absorbing these deadly, violent fire-attribute energies as if they were nourishment!

Lin Mo's act of consuming fire-type spiritual power left Han Li and Yuan Yao speechless with shock.

Lin Mo was enjoying walking through the passage. This lava road, which was full of life-and-death dangers, had now become a treasure trove for Lin Mo's cultivation.

He continuously absorbed pure fire-attribute energy into his body and transformed it into his own power. After walking only a few hundred meters, both his battle qi and spiritual qi showed a visible increase.

Lin Mo glanced at the raging fire-attribute energy around him and immediately made a decision, sitting down cross-legged.

"Protect me."

Before Han Li and Yuan Yao could respond, Lin Mo immediately began to circulate his internal energy.

Like a whale sucking up water, he devoured all the raging fire elemental power on the lava path. The extreme fire elemental power that was enough to burn the meridians of ordinary cultivators was as docile as a lamb in front of him.

Bu Xu is a cultivator with earth and fire spiritual roots in the mid-stage of Core Formation.

He achieved his current level of cultivation in less than three hundred years, making him famous in the region for his dominance over several sea areas.

Many people even believe that he is one of the most promising cultivators to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in the Chaotic Star Sea in the past hundred years.

Bu Xu thoroughly enjoyed the awe, envy, and praise he received from others.

But Bu Xu was well aware of his own situation.

If it weren't for the fact that he happened to discover an ancient Yuan-Dividing Pill inside the stomach of a level-four demon beast during one of his travels, saving him over a hundred years of arduous cultivation, he would probably still be stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage.

But it was this very elixir that allowed him to taste the benefits of ancient medicinal herbs. Therefore, he had long been eyeing this trip to the Void Heaven Palace.

But when Bu Xu entered the Void Heaven Palace and saw so many Nascent Soul stage monsters arrive, he was immediately met with a cold shower.

Nascent Soul stage cultivators come here naturally for the treasures in the inner hall, with the Void Heaven Cauldron being of utmost importance.

In the past, although the Void Heaven Palace had been visited by Nascent Soul stage cultivators, it was only three or four at a time. But this time, it had attracted nine Nascent Soul stage cultivators at once, which naturally made him feel that his hopes were slim.

However, now that he had come this far, he was unwilling to slink back like this.

Still clinging to the hope that they might succeed, they passed through the ghost fog and entered the lava road.

To be honest, while he might have some fear of the Ghost Mist and the "Extreme Illusion" of the next level, he didn't take the Ice and Fire Dao seriously at all, and never doubted that he would be unable to pass this level.

Because the cultivation technique he practiced was the "Taiyang Technique," which was quite famous in the Chaotic Star Sea.

This technique is a top-tier cultivation method among the fire-based techniques of the Chaotic Star Sea, easily ranking in the top ten. He used the Taiyang True Fire within this technique to reduce countless enemies to ashes, sending them to the endless abyss. Therefore, he was naturally very confident in his ability to ward off fire, considering it a piece of cake. Of course, after so many years of cultivation, he wouldn't be so arrogant as to think he could conquer this lava path empty-handed; he had prepared two fire-resistant magical artifacts.

Having mastered the "Taiyang Technique," he felt that with the assistance of these two magical artifacts, crossing this lava path would be no problem at all.

But now, Bu Xu is filled with regret.

Soon after entering this place, he discovered that although the Taiyang Technique was indeed very effective in warding off fire, if he did not want to be roasted into a dried-up human body by the surrounding high temperature in a short period of time, he had to keep the Taiyang Technique running at full power.

It was quite different from his initial idea that he could ignore the harsh environment with just a little bit of magical power.

When he is outside, he only needs to use one-tenth of the Taiyang Technique to completely avoid being directly scorched by ordinary flames.

Clearly, the high temperature emanating from the lava path is vastly different from the ordinary fire outside. There must be some kind of restriction on fire-based techniques due to the enchantment.

His two fire-repelling magical artifacts were only so effective in this strange environment.

This made Bu Xu, who had been walking for several hours, feel flustered and confused.

Judging from the rate at which his mana was being consumed, even though he was holding a spirit stone in each hand to replenish his spiritual energy, he could only maintain it for about half a day at most before he would turn to ashes due to the depletion of his mana.

Bu Xu naturally did not want to die from his injuries. He ran frantically while constantly looking around.

But all around was quiet, and there wasn't a soul in sight. This caused his idea of ​​killing other cultivators and seizing the fire-repelling treasure to die in the womb.

The more Bu Xu raced forward, the stronger his sense of despair became.

After running for a quarter of an hour, Bu Xu finally stopped, his eyes filled with anxiety.

Although he was aided by magic such as the Lightness Technique, at this speed there was no hope of reaching the end of the canyon. Moreover, if he continued running, even if he encountered other cultivators, his magical power would be severely depleted.

At that point, let alone killing others, people will probably attack him instead when they see how weak he is.

As time passed, he felt increasingly desperate. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly felt the temperature around him drop, and the burning sensation disappeared.

At first, he thought it was a hallucination he had before he died, like those who are about to faint in the desert and vaguely see an oasis.

But when he tried to stop circulating his cultivation technique, he discovered that the violent fire-attribute energy around him had suddenly disappeared!

Somewhere along the Lava Road, a female cultivator in her thirties, draped in a shimmering blue veil, hesitated as she gazed at the lava river before her. Apart from a square stone pillar about a foot wide, a crimson river about forty feet wide blocked her path.

Gazing at the scorching lava flow in the river, the female cultivator frowned, but after hesitating for a while, she carefully stepped onto the crimson stone pillar.

The moment the female cultivator's slender feet touched the pillar, a look of pain appeared on her beautiful face. Clearly, the pillar was extremely hot, and even though she was protected by the light veil, she was still suffering quite a bit.

However, this female cultivator was clearly a person of strong will. After gritting her teeth, she slowly moved forward along the stone pillar, her face full of caution.

At first, everything went very smoothly, and she walked safely for a short distance. But as she approached the center of the stone pillar bridge, a rumbling sound suddenly came from afar.

The female cultivator looked up in a daze, gazing upstream along the river. In an instant, her face turned ashen, and her whole body trembled violently!

A ferocious fire dragon shot into the sky from the boiling lava, its intense flames illuminating the entire cave like a living hell. The dragon roared to the heavens, charging towards her with earth-shattering force!

"It's over."

She closed her eyes in despair, awaiting death. However, the expected burning pain did not occur; instead, she heard only a few muffled "thumps."

Opening her eyes tremblingly, the female cultivator was horrified to find that the terrifying fire dragon had turned into several ordinary rocks, rolling at her feet. What chilled her to the bone even more was that the once surging and boiling lava river had now completely solidified into ordinary gray-black rocks!
"What...what's going on?" Her legs went weak, and she could barely stand.
