CHAPTER 414: CHAPTER 241: SLAYING A TIER 3 DEMON BEAST AND OBTAINING THE LONGEVITY FRUIT (PART 3)

Moreover, Xu Ping actually possesses such formidable Ling insects!

This level of power, among them, perhaps only Fairy Yun Su, who is at the Middle Stage of Golden Core, could barely surpass him!

Thus, under their shocked gazes, the resistance of the Demon Beast grew weaker and weaker.

The Red Flame Golden Beetle continued to wreak havoc within its body, gradually sapping its life force.

Finally, after an unwilling roar, the massive body of the Demon Beast crashed down heavily into the lava, splashing a rain of magma everywhere.

"Not bad!"

Seeing this scene, Xu Ping nodded slightly with satisfaction.

The defensive power of this mature swarm of Red Flame Golden Beetles was, frankly, somewhat beyond his expectations.

Not to mention Early-Stage Golden Core Cultivators, even Middle Stage of Golden Core Cultivators would find it extremely difficult to break through their defense.

If more than fifty Red Flame Golden Beetles were to come out in full force, even Middle Stage of Golden Core Cultivators would have no choice but to flee.

Xu Ping suspected that an average mature Red Flame Golden Beetle might not be so formidable.

This should be attributed to the ’Blood Refining Skill’ he used.

Although these Red Flame Golden Beetles did not mutate, they were clearly much more formidable than the average Red Flame Golden Beetles.

With a thought, Xu Ping summoned the Red Flame Golden Beetles back one by one.

Then, he used Escape Light, and his figure flashed like lightning to the nearby Spirit Fruit, carefully plucking it and gently placing it into a jade box he had long prepared.

At this moment, Yuan Kun and the others gathered around.

"Fellow Daoist Xu truly has extraordinary means!"

"Not only is the talisman array executed so skillfully and powerfully, but even the Ling insects he raises are so sharp and invincible." Yuan Kun praised with a full face of admiration, genuinely expressing his sentiments.

"It’s just ordinary means!" Xu Ping smiled slightly, his expression humble.

"If Fellow Daoist Xu keeps being overly modest, it might come off as a tad arrogant."

Fairy Su Yun’s beautiful eyes twinkled, her eyes shimmering as she laughed softly.

"Indeed!"

Lie Feng and Mo Chen nodded with a smile as well.

Although Xu Ping’s displayed strength this time far exceeded their expectations, none of them felt the slightest envy in their hearts.

After all, in this world of lava, they were like locusts tied to the same rope, and the stronger Xu Ping’s strength, the better it was for them.

...

After Xu Ping simply dealt with this Third Stage Demon Beast, the group continued to delve deeper into this world of lava.

Unknowingly, they trekked through this unbearably hot environment for a long time, and the surroundings became increasingly harsh and astonishing.

The currents of the hot lava flowed more turbulently, and huge rocks occasionally fell from above, crashing into the lava and sending up lofty pillars of magma.

The heat in the air grew more intense; even with the protection of a Mana shield, everyone could feel a trace of heat seeping through.

Just then, they encountered a foggy area ahead.

This fog was a bizarre red, like a blood mist permeating the air, faintly exuding a pungent smell that made those who smelled it want to retch.

"Fairy Su Yun!"

Yuan Kun and the others instinctively directed their gaze towards Fairy Su Yun, dressed in a white long skirt.

In the Cultivation Realm, strength is respected, and Fairy Su Yun, as the only Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivator, naturally serves as the backbone for everyone.

Fairy Su Yun frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally decided to pass through.

They had ventured into this Lava Secret Realm to seek opportunities, and to give up due to this fog would mean they could forget about acquiring any precious opportunities.

Seeing everyone else nodding in agreement, Xu Ping, although slightly helpless, could only silently follow the group.

As they stepped into the fog, everyone noticeably felt an invisible force suppressing their Divine Sense.

Compressing the range of their Divine Sense to an extremely narrow distance.

"Fellow Daoists, be careful!"

Fairy Su Yun warned with a grave expression, immediately placing her Protective Magical Treasure in front of herself.

Everyone followed suit and took out their Protective Magical Treasures.

Besides taking out a Protective Magical Treasure, Xu Ping quietly released the Red Flame Golden Beetles.

These Red Flame Golden Beetles silently blended into the surrounding air, ready at any moment to deal with any possible emergency.

Fortunately, there was no too troublesome danger in this fog.

Only a few second-stage Demon Beasts launched surprise attacks from the shadows, but for this group of Golden Core cultivators, these second-stage Demon Beasts were nothing more than minor obstacles.

"Finally through!"

When the group finally succeeded in passing through the fog, even before they could take a long breath, a giant island formed entirely of lava loomed in their view from afar.

This island was incredibly vast, and by visual estimation, it was nearly a thousand miles in circumference.

Such a huge island emerging in this lava world was truly astonishing.

"What a vast island!"

Yuan Kun and the others expressed surprise; despite wandering in this Lava Secret Realm for years, they’d never encountered an island of such a grand scale before.

After exchanging glances, they tacitly understood each other and flew without hesitation towards the direction of the island.

In this world of lava, the emergence of such a large island was out of the ordinary by any measure.

This naturally necessitated exploration to see if some heaven-defying opportunities were hidden there!

However, as the group gradually approached, waves of Spiritual Qi fluctuations began to emanate from the island.

Clearly, there were cultivators battling on the island!

Upon witnessing this, Xu Ping and his group immediately halted, exchanging wary glances.

In this magma world, not only did they need to beware of Demon Beasts or other threats, but they also had to cautiously guard against fellow human cultivators.

After a low-voiced discussion and weighing the pros and cons, they ultimately decided to proceed and investigate.

After all, they had a strong group of five, including the powerful Middle Stage of Golden Core cultivator, Fairy Yun Su, and the equally formidable Xu Ping.

Even if they encountered Late-Stage Golden Core experts, they were confident they would not be without the means to fight back, able to at least put up some resistance.
