Chapter 997

Sea of Magma

The moment Yuan Zhao left, the entire Myriad Beast Bridge fell into a strange silence. In this silent environment, Yun Zhongyang's heart-wrenching screams continued to ring out.

At this moment, Yun Zhongyang's arms were broken and he was barely able to sit cross-legged on the ground. His face was pale and his eyes were filled with hatred. Hissing sounds could be heard from his mouth from time to time.

On the Myriad Beast Bridge, after confirming that the scene at the end of the bridge wasn't an illusion, the crowd finally boiled over. Not only was Zhuowen not killed by the encirclement of three monstrous Heavenly Venerables, but he had also broken Yun Zhongyang's arms and successfully broken out of the encirclement.

This result exceeded everyone's expectations. When everyone finally believed this fact, there was only one thought in their minds. Was that young man called Zhuowen even human?

He was much more monstrous than the three monstrous Heavenly Venerables.

"Big Brother Zhuowen is amazing!" Jia Nan and Gatha were also excited. Clearly, they were happy from the bottom of their hearts that Zhuowen had broken free.

"No wonder even the dean invited Zhuowen to the outer court. This guy is too monstrous," muttered Mo Lingtian in a low voice, unable to calm down.

"Brother Yun!

Since we're not fated to be first place, let's just leave the Myriad Beast Bridge. "Palm Tree suddenly stood up and smiled at Yun Zhongyang.

Yun Zhongyang's eyes flickered. Even Palm Tree didn't plan on fighting for first place, let alone him.

"Let's go!" Yun Zhongyang suppressed his injuries and said coldly.

Palm Tree nodded and stared at the last black-robed man. "Send the two of us out of the grotto."

The black-robed man nodded and waved his sleeve. Palm Tree and Yun Zhongyang were immediately wrapped in a ball of black light and disappeared from the end of the Myriad Beast Bridge.

After Palm Tree and Yun Zhongyang left, many cultivators who arrived at the Myriad Beast Bridge also left one after another. After all, they weren't Zhuowen and the three monstrous Heavenly Venerables who could reach the area where the black-robed Heavenly Venerables were.

The Myriad Beast Bridge only allowed the first five hundred people to enter, so most of the cultivators who came later were rejected outside the bridge and directly sent out of the Myriad Beast Grotto.

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

At this moment, the end of the Myriad Beasts Bridge led to a deep tunnel. This tunnel was like the body of a python, twisting and turning. It looked extremely strange. Rows of torches were placed on both sides of the tunnel, illuminating the dark tunnel with incomparable brightness.

Two figures flashed through the passageway in an instant. One of them was fleeing while the other was chasing. Their speed was extremely fast. The one in front was a young man with blood-red hair that reached his waist. Behind him was a young man with a purple lightning spear. His entire body was filled with strange purple lightning.

The two of them, one chasing and the other fleeing, quickly shuttled through the passageway, maintaining a distance of 655 meters between them.

"This Yuan Zhao is really persistent. He's actually still following behind me." Sensing the powerful aura behind him, Zhuowen's eyes narrowed as he coldly muttered.

Now Zhuowen did not want to clash with Yuan Zhao. What he needed to do now was to obtain the first ranked jade plate. He had heard from the black-robed man on the stone bridge that the first ranked jade plate was at the other end of the bridge. The other rankings were determined by the black-robed man, so there was no need to compete.

"Zhuowen!

Weren't you very powerful just now?

Why are you running away like a stray dog now? "

Yuan Zhao's voice came from behind, but Zhuowen did not care at all. At this moment, Zhuowen's attention was all on the surrounding environment. At the same time, his mind power surged out, wanting to investigate the surroundings of the tunnel.

"Xiao Hei!

Did you find anything? "Zhuowen suddenly transmitted his voice.

"Continue forward!

This tunnel is very deep, and I suspect that this tunnel could lead directly to the outside of the grotto. Moreover, this tunnel should be specially designed for those geniuses who have the ability to cross the Myriad Beasts Bridge. "Xiao Hei replied.

Hearing this, Zhuowen stomped his foot and instantly increased his speed. Yuan Zhao was like a fly behind Zhuowen, which annoyed Zhuowen immensely.

"Eh?

There's an ancient hall up ahead. Kid, perhaps the jade token is in that hall. "Xiao Hei suddenly said.

A glint flashed across Zhuo Wen's eyes when he heard this. He stomped his foot and his speed increased a little. Around twenty breaths later, Zhuo Wen finally walked out of the tunnel and arrived at the ancient hall that Xiao Hei had mentioned.

The hall that appeared in front of Zhuowen was not very big. The surface was covered with cracks like a spider web, and an ancient and vicissitude aura spread out.

In the center of the ancient hall, there was a ten feet tall stone table. Above the stone table floated a sparkling and translucent jade tablet. In the center of the jade tablet, there was an indescribable rune drawn on it. Zhuo Wen could feel that the rune drawn on the jade tablet was different. As for why it was different, Zhuo Wen couldn't say.

"It should be this jade token."

Zhuowen muttered softly. He extended his right hand and took the jade token in his hand.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

A strange sound rang out, causing Zhuowen to squint his eyes. This was because he realized that the demonic symbol inscribed on his right cheek was actually throbbing. However, this throbbing did not last for long and instantly calmed down.

"Hmm?

This jade token actually caused the demonic symbol on my cheek to move. What exactly is this thing? "Zhuowen whispered in surprise.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking through the air rang out behind Zhuowen. Soon after, Yuan Zhao had finally arrived at the center of the hall.

As soon as Yuan Zhao entered, his gaze immediately focused on the jade token in Zhuowen's hand. He said coldly, "Hand it over and I'll spare your life."

Zhuowen calmly glanced at Yuan Zhao. Soon after, he very naturally placed the jade token into his Spirit Ring. This action caused Yuan Zhao's gaze to darken.

"You're courting death!"

Yuan Zhao roared. He lifted the Purple Thunder Spear in his hand and stepped into the air. Instantly, he shot towards Zhuowen. Countless bolts of purple lightning surged out and enveloped Zhuowen's entire body.

Zhuowen narrowed his eyes. He stepped into the air and swung his Blood Spear. Countless blood shadows surged out and collided with the purple lightning. Instantly, the two of them exploded. Yuan Zhao and Zhuowen both took dozens of steps back.

"This Yuan Zhao is even stronger than before. Looks like he didn't use his full strength when he surrounded me earlier." Zhuowen stepped on the ground and looked at Yuan Zhao in front of him with a chilling gaze.

Yuan Zhao also stopped more than ten meters away and stared at Zhuowen, who had a head full of blood hair. After entering the second level of the Bedevilment State, Zhuowen's battle strength was much more terrifying than an ordinary Heavenly Sovereign. Even Yuan Zhao was starting to be wary of this kid.

"The jade token belongs to me. You don't have the right to have it."

Yuan Zhao roared angrily and formed a seal with his hands. Suddenly, violent bolts of purple lightning surged out of his spear and condensed into a gigantic Purple Thunder Qilin above him.

"Qilin Lightning!"

As soon as the Purple Thunder Qilin condensed, its four thick hooves began to stomp on the air. It quickly swept towards Zhuowen, wanting to completely drown Zhuowen.

Zhuowen's gaze was solemn. The Fire Rune on the back of his right hand shone with a terrifying light. Then, terrifying magma gushed out from the back of his hand. More and more magma gushed out and finally formed a boundless sea of magma above Zhuowen.

This sea of magma was something that Zhuo Wen had absorbed from the world of magma. Now, it finally came in handy.

"What a terrifying magma!"

Yuan Zhao's eyes narrowed. He could also feel the terror of the sea of magma that suddenly appeared above Zhuowen.

Sizzle! Sizzle!

Sizzle! The temperature of the sea of magma was too terrifying. The surface of the ancient hall was covered in rubble. Moreover, the gravity in the sea of magma was extremely terrifying. It was dozens of times stronger than the outside world. Even Yuan Zhao felt a strong pressure on his body, causing his movements to be somewhat sluggish.

Roar!

The Purple Thunder Qilin rushed over. However, due to the terrifying gravity, it lost its balance and almost fell into the sea of magma. Fortunately, Yuan Zhao used his mind to control the Purple Thunder Qilin. Otherwise, it would have been a tragedy.

"It's useless!

Magma Sea, roll over for me! "

Zhuowen sneered and waved his right hand. Suddenly, the sea of magma began to surge with terrifying waves of magma. At the same time, countless Magma Fire Pythons opened their cold triangular eyes and rushed towards the Purple Thunder Qilin. In an instant, they surrounded the Purple Thunder Qilin.

"Awoo!"

The Purple Thunder Qilin let out a sorrowful cry. It tried to break free from the Fire Pythons and waves but to no avail.

"Annihilation!"

Zhuowen spat out these two words. The sea of magma surged and the huge Purple Thunder Qilin was instantly swallowed by the waves of magma.

Yuan Zhao's face turned pale. He had not expected Zhuowen to have such a terrifying move. The sea of magma was too terrifying. It was like the might of the heavens, causing his heart to tremble.

"It's your turn now."

Turning his head slightly, Zhuowen's cold gaze landed on Yuan Zhao. The latter's hair stood on end. With the sea of magma, it was impossible for him to get any closer to Zhuowen.

"Let's go!"

Yuan Zhao said decisively. He knew that with the sea of magma, Zhuowen's victory was already decided. He was afraid that he would not be able to compete with Zhuowen. The best thing to do now was to leave.

"Leave?

Do you think you can leave? "

Zhuowen said indifferently. With a wave of his right hand, the sea of magma in the sky suddenly swept towards Yuan Zhao, wanting to bury him.

Yuan Zhao's face changed drastically. He quickly rushed towards the other exit of the ancient hall. The sea of magma was too terrifying. It was not Zhuowen's power but the power of nature.

Whoosh!

Yuan Zhao dived into the tunnel that represented the exit. The sea of magma chased after him and swallowed the tunnel in an instant.

Zhuowen followed behind the sea of magma leisurely. Yuan Zhao's fate was already decided. He was not worried at all.

…

At the top of the Ten Thousand Beast Grotto, pillars of light shot up into the sky. Then, silhouettes walked out one after another. These silhouettes were all cultivators that were sent out from the Ten Thousand Beast Grotto. Most of them were eliminated. After all, only five hundred cultivators had entered the Ten Thousand Beast Grotto. The remaining six thousand plus cultivators did not have the qualifications to advance.
