"A powerful person in the legendary realm."
In secret, Wu Chen looked at the old man furtively. Judging from the powerful fluctuations emanating from this man, he was definitely a powerful legendary figure.
The legendary realm, these are absolutely well-known strongmen in the entire Tianwu Continent. Even in places like Beichen Academy and Taiyi Sect, they are all at the level of supreme elders and have extremely terrifying strength. With Wu Chen's current strength, if he encounters such a terrifying existence, there is absolutely no hope, because the other party only needs to blow lightly to kill him.
Therefore, Wu Chen became even more cautious and held his breath, fearing that he would make the slightest sound and be discovered by this old guy. If that happened, even ten of them would not be enough for him to kill.
"What is this old guy doing? Is he trying to refine this Hell Lotus?"
The flame of the Hell Lotus is an absolutely good thing. Even he is tempted by it. Naturally, many people will covet it and want to refine it and seize its power to break through their cultivation and increase their strength.
At this time, the old man in black placed his hands on the sealing stone. A powerful force was injected into the sealing stone, causing the sealing stone to tremble violently and burst out with bright rays of light. These rays of light were extremely dazzling and brilliant.
"Hell Lotus, I can't wait any longer. I will refine you now."
The old man in black roared wildly and activated the sealing stone. The terrifying power was infused into the formation, covering the Hell Lotus, trying to forcibly refine it.
Now, the news of the seal stone has leaked out, and people from all major forces have come to Ghost Blood Ridge. They have conducted carpet searches on Ghost Blood Ridge again and again. Although they have not found the seal stone yet, there is no guarantee that they will not find it in the future. What's more, the volcano on Ghost Blood Ridge has erupted now, and you can reach here by following the crater. Therefore, the secret here will be exposed sooner or later. By that time, not only will the seal stone be discovered, but even the Hell Lotus will be discovered. Then, all his efforts will be in vain.
Therefore, he didn't want to wait any longer. While the people from various major forces hadn't found this place yet, he wanted to thoroughly refine the Hell Lotus and gain powerful cultivation and strength. This was the most fundamental thing.
"Who is this old guy? He seems to be very familiar with the seal stone. Could he be from Tianxuan Holy Land?"
In secret, Wu Chen watched all of this and was secretly surprised. This sealing stone was extremely unfamiliar to others. Disciples from other sects like them had simply heard of it for the first time and had no idea how to use it. But looking at this old man in black, he seemed to be extremely familiar with it. He knew how to use the sealing stone and how to construct the formation. It could be inferred that this person was most likely from the Tianxuan Holy Land.
boom!
Sensing the threat, the Hell Lotus trembled violently and powerful flames burst out from it, resisting the power of the old man in black and directly shaking his power away.
Seeing this, the old man in black became furious and shouted, "I don't believe this evil anymore. I must refine you today."
The old man in black clothed all his strength surged and poured into the formation. The super-powerful force kept surging and rushing out, covering the Hell Lotus, trying to forcibly refine it.
The Hell Lotus was also shaking even more violently, and streams of dazzling white flames kept erupting, causing the temperature in the surrounding space to rise sharply. This was originally a world of terrifying high temperatures, and now, stimulated by the power of the Hell Lotus' flames, the temperature here became even more terrifying. For Wu Chen, hiding in such a place was a huge test.
“It’s hot.”
In this hellish environment, even someone like Wu Chen who practiced fire-attributed techniques felt the heat unbearable. The horrifyingly high temperature was enough to melt people.
However, he dared not make any sound or move at all. Once he made any noise, death would be waiting for him.
At this time, the old man in black was concentrating all his efforts on dealing with the Hell Lotus, and had no time to care about anything else. But he shouted loudly, and with his hands continuously input energy into the sealing stone. With the help of the power of the sealing stone, he forcefully refined the Hell Lotus, and he would not stop until he refined the Hell Lotus.
The Hell Lotus was also constantly emitting light and balls of flames, shooting out madly, trying its best to fight against the old man in black, and refusing to let the Hell Lotus refine it.
The huge amount of energy accumulated rapidly and continued to vibrate, causing the entire formation to tremble violently. The terrifying energy was surging wildly.
"Bang!"
When the energy accumulated to a certain level, it could no longer be sustained and a violent explosion occurred.
Suddenly, the entire space was shaking and trembling, and it couldn't stop at all.
Outside, Xia Youlan and Shun Yan were waiting anxiously. Wu Chen had been down there for such a long time, but there was still no movement, which made them very worried.
"Junior sister, he has been gone for so long, why hasn't he come out yet? Could something have happened?"
Shun Yan also frowned. Wu Chen had saved her life many times. To her, Wu Chen was her savior, and she didn't want to see him get into any problems.
After much deliberation, she finally decided to go down into the lava herself to see if he was in any danger.
boom!
Just as she had the thought, a violent shock suddenly came from the lava below, and the entire lava layer was surging and shaking violently.
"What's going on? Is it going to erupt again?"
Xia Youlan and Shun Yan were both staring at the lava layer below, feeling the violent shock, and their faces changed. Once the lava erupted, it would cause very terrible consequences, and even they would feel palpitations.
Seeing all this, they became even more worried. If something happened to Wu Chen, it would be difficult for them to explain to the elders.
"Shun Yan, Xia Youlan, you are really here."
Suddenly, a voice came from above. The two women were startled and looked up. It was Mu Qing and Elder Huang Yue.
"Elder, why are you here?"
Elder Mu Qing said, "We should be the ones asking you this question. Why did you come to the bottom of this volcano? Do you know how dangerous it is here?"
Both women lowered their heads and said nothing.
