"No, there is still nothing, nothing."
Wu Chen was still staring at the lava below. Since he couldn't find it, the only way was to enter the lava and take a look.
"I'm going to go down into the lava and take a look."
Although the power of this lava is terrifying, as long as you are careful, it shouldn't be a big problem. Moreover, Wu Chen is also a person who practices fire-attributed skills and has a certain ability to withstand high-temperature lava.
"What, you want to go down?"
Xia Youlan and Shun Yan were both shocked. What was underneath? The hot lava had extremely terrifying energy. Even for practitioners like them, they couldn't just barge in casually or they would get into great trouble.
"Why do we have to go down? Could that thing be down there?" Shunyan guessed.
"Yeah." Wu Chen nodded.
The two women looked at each other, thought for a while, and also felt that this was a possibility, because they had searched the nearby area and still found nothing but lava. Since they couldn't find it around, then it was very likely under the lava.
"are you sure?"
Wu Chen thought about it for a while and shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I think we should go down there."
The two women were still a little hesitant. After all, the thing below was not just any ordinary thing, but blazing lava, one of the most terrifying forces in nature.
"Don't worry about me. The skills I practice have a certain resistance to lava."
The Fire Phoenix Technique is one of the most powerful techniques in the world, possessing unparalleled power. If it is cultivated to the extreme, the power of fire it possesses can even completely surpass lava.
After he finished speaking, Wu Chen activated the Fire Phoenix Technique. Immediately, a powerful flame burst out from his body, burning so fiercely that his entire body was on fire, and he instantly turned into a man of fire.
Seeing this, the two stopped trying to persuade him, because they knew that Wu Chen had made up his mind and there was no point in trying to persuade him.
"Be careful. If you find anything unexpected, come up immediately."
Wu Chen nodded gently, took a deep breath, and slowly went down.
Soon, his feet touched the lava, and immediately, a burning sensation came out, as if his feet were going to be burned off.
Wu Chen took a breath, and the Fire Phoenix Art and the Immortal Golden Body Art started running in his body at the same time. The Fire Phoenix Art was responsible for absorbing heat and alleviating the burning sensation, while the Immortal Golden Body Art was responsible for strengthening the defense so that the lava could not corrode his body.
Soon, the burning sensation disappeared, and after a while, Wu Chen continued to dive deeper into the lava.
Seeing this, Xia Youlan and Shun Yan became nervous. They watched Wu Chen's every move closely without blinking. If they found that he had any accident, they would immediately help him.
Wu Chen continued to dive, and before long, his body was completely submerged in the lava and disappeared.
After entering the lava layer, all Wu Chen could see was lava. Apart from that, he could not see anything else. Endless lava surrounded his body and kept moving towards him. This was horrible lava with terrible destructive power. It was constantly eroding the protective layer on his body surface and was about to melt him into pieces.
In this environment, a huge amount of strength is required to maintain the protective shield on the body. Once the protective shield is broken, it will be very troublesome.
Moreover, being wrapped in lava poses great obstacles to various human conditions. Not only is vision affected, but soul power is also severely restricted and blocked, making it impossible to see clearly at all distances.
"Let's speed up."
Wu Chen also increased his diving speed. The deeper he dived, the more he felt the terrifying power of the lava below. The high temperature and magma were eroding him all the time, trying to melt and digest him.
Traveling through such a place requires a huge amount of energy. Even with Wu Chen's strength, it is impossible for him to last long. He needs to use elixirs at any time to replenish the energy he consumes. Fortunately, Wu Chen is an alchemist, and elixirs are not a problem for him at all.
The biggest problem in traveling here is the difficulty in detection. Because of the obstruction of the lava all around, his vision and soul power are greatly restricted, and he cannot sense places far away at all.
So, now he can only try his luck to see if the place where he is diving is the place where the previous beam of light came from.
"It's already 500 meters and there's still no sign of the bottom. Damn it."
Wu Chen couldn't help but want to curse. This lava layer was really deep. Even though it was so deep, there was still no sign of the end. This made him extremely angry.
Moreover, the deeper he dives, the stronger the pressure of the lava will be. Now the place he has reached has reached a point that would make even the strong men in the Star Realm tremble with fear. Before this, the protective shield on Wu Chen's body had been broken by lava several times.
It’s really hard to know what kind of horrible things he would encounter if he continued to dive.
"Let's go up first and talk about it later."
He was not worried about the pills because he had so many of them that he couldn't even count them. What he was afraid of was that the power of the lava was too strong and would break his body's protective shield. The hot magma would then corrode and burn him all over.
Half an hour later, Wu Chen emerged from the lava layer.
"How did it reach the top so quickly?"
Wu Chen felt a little bit unbelievable. He once estimated that it took him more than an hour to dive down, but only half an hour to go up. This was obviously unreasonable because, generally speaking, it is easier to dive down than to go up. Therefore, according to his estimation, it should take more time to go up. However, this was not the case in fact.
Moreover, he roughly estimated that this time he had only ascended two hundred meters at most. Two hundred meters was definitely a world of difference compared to the previous five hundred meters.
Shaking his head, Wu Chen did not think too much about it. He collected his thoughts and looked up at the place in front of him. He was horrified.
"Where is this place?"
Wu Chen suddenly realized that he was completely unfamiliar with the place in front of him. He didn't recognize this place at all. Moreover, Shun Yan and Xia Youlan were not here either. All kinds of evidence proved that the place he was now was not the same place where he came down before.
