232: Chapter 224 Truth Surfaces (3/3) 232: Chapter 224 Truth Surfaces (3/3) Boom!
The earth fire surged, the air was scorchingly hot, and rely breathing in was enough to burn one’s stomach alive!
“Let’s go!” Zhou Heng, along with another person and a donkey, climbed down into the cavern.
Having a freak like Zhou Heng who could absorb the power of flas, this ti they were not sure how much easier it was compared to the last.
Moreover, the earth fire this ti was obviously much milder, except for the wind blades that were still dancing around, there were no burning boulders explosively flying out.
More than two hours later, they had gone endlessly deep underground, and could even clearly see the blazing earth fire!
It was a boiling pool of magma, flowing continuously in a dark red color, like a giant red python twisting its body, incredibly ferocious and terrifying!
Even Zhou Heng dared not touch it!
It was true that he could devour flas, but just as a person can’t beco fat in one bite, if he were to enter such earth fire now, the only outco would be that he couldn’t devour the flas fast enough and would be completely lted!
This was not just a hint of earth fire carried by a burning boulder, but the epicenter.
If any being less than those in the Nascent Soul Realm with a deity-like presence inside ventured here, it would be a death sentence.
Luckily, the heat was rising; if you lost your footing here, you’d be lifted by the hot air upwards.
As long as no one forcefully blasted you down, there was basically no worry of falling into the lava.
“Look!”
Han Yiyao suddenly spoke, her gaze intensely fixed in the distance.
Zhou Heng followed her line of sight and saw a cave in the cavern wall, emanating a dazzling brilliance that ford the phantom of a green long sword outside of the cave!
A Peerless Magical Instrunt!
The Martial Artist who had been ahead of Zhou Heng and the group had obviously discovered it earlier, crawling at a breakneck speed, rely a few dozen ters from the cave, using his hands and feet, flipping like a flying creature.
Zhou Heng and the group were not in a hurry, clearly, they were not the first to arrive here, but the Peerless Magical Instrunt hadn’t been taken away, which only ant one thing: no one had been able to make the Peerless Magical Instrunt recognize them as its master!
Such a level of treasure could not be forcibly taken even by a Nascent Soul Realm Expert; it depended solely on one’s fate!
Zhou Heng, having the Black Sword, had no great ambition for any other Magic Artifacts.
To him, Peerless Magical Instrunt and peerless materials were no different; they were all destined to be refined by him.
Therefore, he was not blinded by desire, but instead began to ponder.
Why had so many people co down without going up?
If the Peerless Magical Instrunt chooses its owner itself, then there’s no need to desperately fight for it, doing so wouldn’t make the instrunt recognize them as its master!
Could it be that the instrunt has an incredibly aggressive nature, viewing any approach as an affront and needing to kill to vent its rage?
He beca cautious and said, “If we encounter danger later, the mont I say ‘go’, you must trust without any reservation, and not harbor any contrary feelings towards !”
Only by doing so could he gather people into the Nine Mystic Trial Tower without bringing it out.
The Black Donkey, knowing that Zhou Heng possessed this treasure, agreed without hesitation.
The donkey even had the intention of seizing the opportunity for personal gain, naturally not minding entering the tower.
Han Yiyao, however, hesitated before nodding her head.
Although she had always privately cursed Zhou Heng as a lecher, she had long since stopped truly thinking that.
Otherwise, how could she still be here in one piece?
This man must possess various mysteries, and since he instructed so cautiously, there must be his reasons.
“Ah—” A short cry suddenly ca from within the cave, and then all returned to tranquility.
“It’s indeed not simple!”
The two people and one donkey all beca alert.
The person just now was an Open Heaven Realm existence.
Although he wasn’t considered significant to them, if he had died just like that, what kind of danger was lurking in the cave?
What role did the Peerless Magical Instrunt play in this?
If it was the Peerless Magical Instrunt that killed soone, who would dare to go in?
Who was confident enough to confront a Peerless Magical Instrunt?
The safest option naturally was to turn back, but the Peerless Magical Instrunt was right in front of them.
Would it be too regrettable to give up at this mont?
Would they regret it imnsely when thinking back on this mont?
“Everyone, be careful!” Zhou Heng said.
He had the Nine Mystic Trial Tower, and as long as he had ti to react, he really didn’t need to fear any Peerless Magical Instrunt.
The Black Donkey naturally trusted Zhou Heng, while Han Yiyao was filled with a determination to obtain the Peerless Magical Instrunt, knowing the danger but absolutely unwilling to retreat.
They continued forward, moving very slowly, prioritizing stability above all, as they were facing a Peerless Magical Instrunt after all!
About ten minutes later, they were rely a hundred ters away from the cave entrance.
The projection of the green sword was as vivid as reality, exuding a terrifying oppressive force.
“Sothing’s not right!” Zhou Heng said in a deep voice.
“The oppressive force of that sword is indeed very powerful, but it’s still a distance away from being a Peerless Magical Instrunt!” the Black Donkey added.
It was an old monster from many years ago, with extensive experience.
“Heh, now I really want to know who’s inside this cave!” Zhou Heng laughed.
He took the lead, his figure twisting and turning as he leapt into the cave.
“Welco!
Welco!” Laughter echoed imdiately in the cave, revealing five masked figures.
It was indeed the Mao Family’s people!
There was no need for evidence; once he knew that the Peerless Magical Instrunt was just bait, he imdiately could determine that these people were from the Mao Family!
Otherwise, even if they were also misled here, why would they need to wear masks?
Moreover, this place was not so vacation paradise; why else would they linger here and not leave?
The Mao Family’s force initially hunted Spirit Gathering Realm Martial Artists and then escalated their operations.
They had even planned to wipe out all the Open Heaven Realm experts from the four major countries gathered here if not for i Yixiang’s intervention, they would have surely succeeded by now.
Now, they had tricked the people of the world with a peerless magical instrunt, luring experts from both the Open Heaven Realm and the Mountains and Rivers Realm to this place and killing them!
What does the Mao Family want with so many hearts?
How sinister!
“Strange, I can’t make out this kid’s cultivation realm,” a masked person said.
“He must be carrying an item that conceals his aura, but what use is that!” another masked person retorted.
“Take him down quickly!” a third masked person coldly commanded, “There are two more outside!”
The five of them didn’t know how strong Zhou Heng was, but they didn’t take him lightly and launched an attack at the sa ti!
The cave was very spacious, and the five people ambushed from both sides and the back, effectively surrounding Zhou Heng in the middle.
No wonder the previous Open Heaven Realm martial artist had only managed to scream tragically before he died!
—All five of them were experts of the Mountains and Rivers Realm, and their combined forces were more than enough to suppress any peer.
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!
Zhou Heng didn’t dodge or evade, and all five attacks simultaneously struck him.
“Oh no, this kid is too weak!”
“We might have killed him outright with such heavy blows!”
“It doesn’t matter; such a minor character is dead, so be it, he was useless anyway!”
“Eh!”
They suddenly halted, only to see Zhou Heng sending them a chilling smile, then banged out five punches of his own!
Imdiately, a series of muffled groans ensued!
All five masked people staggered back almost at the sa ti.
If one could see their faces, they would surely look utterly astonished.
They had each taken quite a hit from this strike!
The kid’s strength was not overwhelming, but his fists carried a terrifying power of fla, akin to the outside Earth Fire that could burn through anything!
Although the power was much less intense, it wasn’t sothing they could easily withstand.
The five exchanged glances, only to see that each of their punched spots had been scorched.
Not only had their clothing turned to ash, but their skin also showed burn marks, emitting a scent like roasted at.
This kid…
a monster?
From the first move, they could sense that Zhou Heng’s spiritual power level was rely at the First Layer Heaven of the Open Heaven Realm!
Yet, his brutal strength was incredibly powerful and his body’s defensive power was extrely formidable!
Just that would have been enough, but how could a re Open Heaven Realm martial artist release martial arts techniques that injured them all?
—They mistook Zhou Heng’s Purple Fla Bloodline for a martial arts technique.
Indeed, bloodline powers and martial arts techniques were extrely similar, but even if the Bloodline Power was comparable to an Upper Grade Heaven Level martial skill, how could it pose a threat to the Mountains and Rivers Realm when used by an Open Heaven Realm martial artist?
This was an absolute contradiction!
Zhou Heng flashed a smile, saying, “You are from the Mao Family, aren’t you?”
“You, you are that kid!” a masked person suddenly exclaid.
Though his words were abrupt, both Zhou Heng and the other four imdiately understood him—the Mao Family had suffered a major loss not long ago, where a hundred people were slaughtered by a single Land Cleaving Realm kid, leaving only five alive!
And among those five, four were from Open Heaven Realm, barely preserving the last person.
After returning to the Mao Family, those four from the Open Heaven Realm instantly beca the subject of ridicule, but they also left an impression of Zhou Heng in the minds of the Mountains and Rivers Realm experts, and even higher-level experts of the Mao Family.
Although they did not know Zhou Heng’s real na, his appearance had been sketched out early on.
“How is that possible, it hasn’t been long, how did this kid enter the Open Heaven Realm!”
“And, he possesses the physique and brutal strength of the Mountains and Rivers Realm!”
“This is too monstrous!”
The five exclaid in shock, such a monster was truly unheard of.
Even those few recognized geniuses of the Dynasty at the sa stage as Zhou Heng did not have such an alarming rate of cultivation improvent, did they?
“You go take down the one and the donkey outside, that youngster will be dealt with by !” At that mont, a voice ca from deep within the cave, it wasn’t loud, but it possessed imnse authority, “This youngster has incredibly vigorous blood and energy, and is also body cultivating, this heart is certainly more precious than that of the Mountains and Rivers Realm!”
“Yes, Elder Hao!” the five people imdiately bowed respectfully, filled with reverence.
To have such experts from the Mountains and Rivers Realm lower their voices, then it could only be soone from the Spiritual Sea Realm!
Zhou Heng’s expression grew stern.
The Mao Family indeed had a formidable influence, even able to dispatch an expert from the Spiritual Sea Realm, highlighting that the foundation of this family was not just limited to the Spiritual Sea Realm; it certainly possessed Nascent Soul Realm true ancestors!
However, among the three major clans of Bright Moon Country, there were no Mao surnas, aning the Mao Family was certainly not from Bright Moon Country.
Possibly from one of the other three Imperial Dynasties, or even the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty!
Once he was in Bright Moon Country, he would definitely need to ask i Yixiang about this.
