CHAPTER 624: CHAPTER 622: HUNDRED SAINT LORDS DESCEND!

"Not just improving quality? What else is there?" Lin Fan’s heart was somewhat excited.

"What’s the rush, you’ll know soon." Emperor Jade answered, then continued, "The item is in the largest of those volcanoes."

"Good!"

Lin Fan nodded, no longer speaking, and flew towards the largest mountain range.

Along the way, terrifying heat waves assaulted him, growing more fearsome the closer he got to the main summit!

At last, the entire world seemed barren, with cracked rocks everywhere, and rolling heat waves!

Not a single drop of water could be felt near the entire mountain range.

Even, not a trace of Water Attribute Spiritual Energy!

If it were an ordinary Void Refining Cultivator, under such terrifying heat waves, they would definitely consume a vast amount of Mana to resist this fierce heat wave!

But.

Lin Fan, practicing the Chaos Golden Body Technique, appeared unbothered, striding leisurely towards the direction of the volcano’s mouth.

Soon, the volcano’s mouth was reached.

Lin Fan hovered in the air, looking down below, where at the depth of the volcano’s mouth, surging lava was everywhere, moving like a tsunami.

"That thing is inside there, you should feel it too, go down yourself." Emperor Jade spoke up.

"Another fire again?" Lin Fan was somewhat surprised.

Standing at the position of the volcano’s mouth, he too felt that deep within this magma, there was a terrifying flame that could completely match the Earth Marrow True Fire he had subdued last time!

"Yes." Emperor Jade answered.

In front of Lin Fan, through thousands of meters of magma at the depth of the volcano’s mouth, he saw a cluster of red essence fire. It was only the size of a fist, but was extraordinarily pure!

"What fire is this?" Lin Fan asked curiously.

"This is called Fire Essence. Fire itself represents the fire element among the Five Elements, and the Fire Essence is even more powerful! Although it can’t be absorbed by the human body, it is one of the best materials for Artifact Refining. In the depths of the sun, where temperatures reach millions of degrees, Fire Essence is everywhere. Normally, one would not find such a thing in a volcano because the temperature is far from sufficient. For there to be a fist-sized piece of Fire Essence here is your good luck," Emperor Jade explained.

Fire Essence is born within the sun.

It’s not considered excessively precious because it’s everywhere deep within the sun.

But the problem is, where does an ordinary person have the chance to enter inside the sun?

Or to say... they can’t even get in at all!

Fear is that they would be burnt to ashes by the terrifying heat before even nearing the sun, more dreadful than a Heavenly Tribulation.

Without hesitating longer, Lin Fan transformed into a shadow and plunged headfirst into the depths of the volcano.

"Puff!"

If anyone were here, they would surely be astonished, as Lin Fan entered the magma just like a carp.

Next.

The temperature around him surged explosively, but for Lin Fan, it was as if nothing was happening.

Previously in Spirit Realm’s Little Flame Mountain, Lin Fan had also swam through magma and discovered the Earth Marrow True Fire!

After entering the magma inside the volcano’s mouth, everywhere in front of Lin Fan was red.

And.

Rapidly sinking.

One thousand meters.

Two thousand meters.

Three thousand meters.

Five thousand meters.

...

Seven thousand meters!

Eight thousand meters!

When Lin Fan sunk to eight thousand meters, a golden light appeared before his eyes, illuminating the entire magma world.

The Fire Essence was right in front of Lin Fan!

Lin Fan swiftly swam over, the surrounding magma seemed to boil, and the terrifying temperature could be clearly felt.

Finally.

Lin Fan arrived in front of the Fire Essence and stretched out a hand, firmly grasping it.

A scorching temperature transmitted from Lin Fan’s hand, making him feel as if he was holding a small sun!

...

...

At this moment.

It has been half a month since Lin Fan entered the volcano.

Many things have happened in the Holy Mansion during this half month.

On this day.

Suddenly, hundreds of Breakthrough Ships appeared in the sky above Holy Mansion Continent, grandly as if arriving at a prearranged time.

Each Breakthrough Ship, ten zhang in length, is massive and not something ordinary people could afford.

The bodies of these Breakthrough Ships were all engraved with flags.

Zhou...

Wu...

Yi...

Ye...

Zhou Family from Illusion Spirit Realm, Wu Family from Fire Feather World, Yi Family from Lingyu Realm, Ye Family from Fire Feather World...

The geniuses of these families were actually slain in Holy Mansion?

The Family Heads personally came forward to seek an explanation.

In an instant, the entire Holy Mansion was shaken.

Murong Guan, Gu Santong, Huo Xiao, and others all showed up, and millions of disciples of the Holy Mansion were also alerted, emerging from seclusion and gathering at the plaza outside the Holy Mansion.

"Pavilion Master Murong, hand over the murderer immediately, my Zhou Family’s genius cannot die in vain!" An elder roared, stepping off a Breakthrough Ship like an old grey dragon, his voice instantly spreading across the entire Holy Mansion.

The crowd in the plaza felt as if everything was shaking, trembling all over, supporting each other to avoid falling down!

As for the aura revealed by the elder, it was... a Ninth Rank Saint Lord!!!

"Zhou Xinghai! You’re not dead!" Murong Guan’s face changed color, disbelievingly staring at the elder in front of him, his eyeballs nearly popping out.

Zhou Xinghai, one of the ancestors of the Murong Family from Illusion Spirit Realm, where the Zhou Family is known as the Emperor Clan, immortal and undying, with a legacy of over a million years.

Unexpectedly, the Zhou Family still has a living Ninth Rank Saint Lord!

"Pavilion Master Murong, long time no see." Another elder, likewise stepping out from a Breakthrough Ship.

"Wu Taiyi! You came too!" Murong Guan’s old eyes narrowed, with a wary demeanor.

Wu Jianyi, from the Wu Family of Fire Feather World, also an ancestor-level figure, revealing an aura of a Ninth Rank Saint Lord!

"And also me, Pavilion Master Murong, my good-for-nothing grandson’s soul plate shattered, perishing within your Holy Mansion; hearing that the murderer has not yet been strictly punished and that his woman has even received the highest standard treatment from Holy Mansion, don’t you think you owe us an explanation?" Another aura appeared as an old, corpse-like crone stood up.

In her hand, she held a dragon-headed cane, her gaze venomous and extremely cold!

However.

This old crone’s voice sounded unexpectedly young, like a young girl, which felt very jarring.

A crone, looking close to death and corpse-like, emitting the voice of a young girl?

"Elder Toumu from Yi Family?"

Seeing this person, Murong Guan’s face turned even paler!

"Pavilion Master Murong, Ye Xiuwu is dead, give me a reason." A middle-aged man slowly walked out, dressed in a blue mountain robe, carrying a long sword on his back, standing like an evergreen pine, eternally unyielding.

"Ye Tiannan! Sword God of the Ye Family, you came too!" Murong Guan’s heart suddenly felt a chill to its core.

"And us from the Su Family..."

"And us from the Li Family..."

"And us from the Yun Family..."

"Ji Family..."

Following that.

Another dozen Ninth Rank Saint Lords stepped forward.

In addition to these dozen or so Ninth Rank Saint Lords, there were also dozens of Fifth Rank, Sixth Rank, Seventh Rank, Eighth Rank Saint Lords, amounting to over a hundred, all present with cold gazes fixed ahead!

A tremendous pressure enveloped the sky above Holy Mansion.

The millions of students present all held their breaths, not daring to breathe.

Saint Lords!

These are all Saint Lords!

And moreover, over a hundred appeared all at once; together, these Saint Lords could easily level Holy Mansion!
