Lin Chen felt the crisis coming from beneath his feet, not daring to delay, he pushed his speed to the limit.

Almost simultaneously, the magma beneath Lin Chen's feet spewed out tongues of fire like raindrops directly aimed at him.

Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed.

"It's over, this kid is doomed."

"What a pity, just ten meters short."

Everyone had witnessed the power of those fire tongues, so no one believed Lin Chen could escape from them.

In an instant, those fire tongues were less than a meter away from Lin Chen.

Lin Chen could even feel the energy vortex emitted by those fire tongues.

Damn, just ten meters short.

Feeling the crisis approaching from behind, Lin Chen's expression suddenly changed.

Almost in the blink of an eye, those fire tongues were already closing in tightly on Lin Chen.

Time Law!

Just as Lin Chen was about to be hit by the tongues of fire, he suddenly activated the Time Law.

Although it was only a three-second pause, these three seconds were enough for Lin Chen.

In the next instant after invoking the Time Law, Lin Chen simultaneously employed the Space Law.

Swoosh!

Lin Chen's body suddenly appeared on the chain not far away.

When Lin Chen's foot stepped down again, the red light flickered.

Damn!

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, this time he couldn't rely on any other law and had to depend solely on himself.

His body shot out like lightning, and although it was only a short ten meters, it felt like a vast distance for Lin Chen.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Several more tongues of fire shot out from the magma, rushing toward Lin Chen.

Two tongues of fire gathered together, forming a giant hand, reaching for Lin Chen.

"Faster, faster, a bit faster." Lin Chen pushed his speed to the limit.

Boom!

Just as the bloody hand was about to grab Lin Chen, he finally stood atop the cliff.

And the hand that was about to seize Lin Chen suddenly disappeared the moment he stepped onto the cliff.

The entire cliff was silent.

Everyone was stunned, watching Lin Chen across the way.

"He actually made it over."

A look of astonishment appeared on everyone's faces.

If anyone else among them had faced that crisis, they would have surely died without a doubt.

But Lin Chen, at the last moment, burst with amazing strength, leaping across the cliff.

Lin Chen's feet were on the cliff's edge, his heart still feeling a creeping sensation of fear.

He was just a hair's breadth away from being swallowed by that hand formed by the magma.

Looking at the chain and the tumultuous magma behind him, Lin Chen let out a long sigh of relief; he had finally passed this challenge.

At that moment, he noticed Mie Shen reappearing before him, evidently guiding his way.

Lin Chen knew that since Group X had the key to the Tianyuan Treasure, they were surely very familiar with this place, leaving him with not much time.

"Mie Shen, take me to the core of the treasure," Lin Chen said seriously.

Mie Shen nodded twice in the air, then swiftly flew forward again.

Lin Chen followed closely, running forward once more.

However, Mie Shen paused at an entrance of a cave.

"What is it?" Lin Chen asked in confusion.

Mie Shen made a shaking motion in the air, as if warning Lin Chen not to enter.

Lin Chen gave a bitter smile. There was only one way here, and he had no other choice left.

There's no turning back when the bow is drawn; having come this far, there was no reason to retreat.

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and stepped into the stone cave.

Inside the stone cave, it was pitch black; nothing could be seen.

However, Lin Chen could see clearly inside using his penetrating vision.

This cave was like a large pot, with very smooth stone walls on both sides. To get to the other side, one had to go downhill and then climb up the opposite slope.

Because of Mie Shen's previous warning, Lin Chen was very cautious.

He descended the slope slowly, but no danger occurred even when he reached the bottom.

However, when Lin Chen reached the bottom of the pot, he sensed a sinister smell.

This feeling was very unpleasant, as if there were countless eyes staring at him from all around.

Lin Chen swept his gaze around and suddenly heard a faint rustling.

This rustling sound seemed very familiar.

His eyes suddenly focused, abruptly remembering what creature made this sound.

It turned out to be Qi insects.

Numerous Qi insects crawled out from the crevices of the valley, densely covering the entire valley in an instant.

Damn, where did these annoying insects come from?

Lin Chen's expression changed slightly.

Upon first entering Death Island, Lin Chen could control those Qi insects by controlling the mother insect.

But the valley was quite large, and these Qi insects emerged from an unknown source.

Finding the mother insect would be incredibly difficult.

Moreover, these Qi insects moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, they had already filled the entire valley.

The Qi insects formed an encircling ring, tightly surrounding Lin Chen.

No wonder Mie Shen had warned him earlier; setting foot in this valley was indeed a near-death experience!

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly; he knew how dangerous these Qi insects were.

Once these creatures climbed onto him, they would quickly feed on his Qi and blood essence.

This many insects, in just an instant, could turn him into a dried husk.

The rustling was drawing nearer, those Qi insects clearly treating Lin Chen as a delicious meal, crawling swiftly towards him.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, a lotus flower rising in his hand.

Go!

The lotus flower in Lin Chen's hand shot out rapidly, exploding violently with him at the center.

"Boom!"

In an instant, a wave of fire rapidly spread out.

The fire wave spread quickly, soon enveloping the Qi insects in the front.

However, to Lin Chen's disbelief, these Qi insects did not die; they seemed to greedily absorb the Qi emitted by the fire lotus as if they were savoring a delicacy.

"Damn it!"

These Qi insects were different from the ones outside.

Lin Chen's expression changed slightly.

He never dreamed that these Qi insects could be so terrifying, able to absorb even the Qi within his moves.

As the fire wave dispersed, those Qi insects rushed toward Lin Chen once more.

The encirclement grew smaller, quickly closing to less than ten meters away.

Hearing that eerie rustling sound, Lin Chen's expression changed slightly as well.

It seems I have to use this move.

Lin Chen's eyes focused, the Tianyuan Ancient Sword appeared in his hand.

All things become feathers!

Accompanied by a furious shout, Lin Chen thrust the Tianyuan Ancient Sword into the ground.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, a silver wave burst forth from Lin Chen's center.

This time, the Qi insects weren't as lucky; they were rapidly frozen and shattered by the silver wave, turning to nothingness.

Qi streams flowed from Lin Chen into the sword, and the Qi insects were swiftly eradicated.

In less than a minute, the entire valley was covered by silver crystals.

And those aggressively advancing Qi insects had instantly turned to nothingness as well.

Though temporarily out of danger, a wave of helplessness washed over Lin Chen.
