At this moment, the lake was still pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
“Lao Ji, is that Cao Tian still in the lake?” Zhi’er looked at Ji Feng and asked.
“…Yes, yes.” Wu Neng was using a healing spell to treat Ji Feng’s wounds, so Ji Feng spoke with difficulty.
“What was he doing in the lake?” Zhi’er asked, her brows furrowed tightly.
……
Cao Tian has already arrived at a depth of over 2,000 meters underground.
He could sense that the heart of the earth was just ahead.
At this moment, he suddenly felt an extremely powerful presence behind him!
What’s going on?
Has the Order come for you?
Cao Tian turned his head upward, his face slightly changing.
“Yan Yao, it seems someone is following me. Is there any way you can stop him!? I’m about to find the heart of the earth!” Cao Tian transmitted his voice.
“Good! I’ll have Wang teleport some helpers over right away.” Yan Yao replied.
After that, Cao Tian’s speed underground reached its peak.
The powerful aura behind him was getting closer and closer!
After a few seconds, Cao Tian’s figure suddenly felt light!
He came to a small space deep underground!
And there before him blazed the heart of the earth!
Found it!
Cao Tian’s eyes gleamed with excitement, and he immediately removed the heart of the long-dormant Immortal King.
He stepped forward, gazing at the core of the earth suspended in mid-air within the small space, his eyes reflecting the flames.
He raised his heart and then placed it into the flames.
“Oh…”
The instant his hand touched the flame, Cao Tian felt a searing pain and immediately retracted his hand.
At that moment, his hands were blackened by the flames.
“This…”
Cao Tian looked at the flame in front of him, his eyes full of shock.
At this point, the heart has been completely engulfed by this ball of hellfire, burning within it.
The grayish-white substance of the heart’s surface gradually disappears.
Instead of it being the color red, the true color of a heart is dark red.
The Undying King’s heart is about to awaken!
Cao Tian stood on the spot, so excited that his body trembled.
“Pengshi, after Wang Rang’s heart was completely revived, he also took that piece of earth core fire with him! This flame is very useful to him! Me and Baizhi have already arrived nearby and are escorting him away!” Yan Yao’s voice reached Cao Tian’s ears.
Even the heart of the earth will be taken away?
Cao Tian’s face changed slightly, and he said, “I can’t touch this flame. How can I take it away?”
“Wang, give me a container. I’ll have it in my hand later. This container can absorb flames and keep them inside.” Yan Yao said.
“Good.” Cao Tian replied.
“Bang!”
No sooner had the words left his lips than a hole appeared in the soil above Cao Tian’s head.
A figure appeared before Cao Tian.
Fang Yu glanced at Cao Tian and immediately turned his head to look at the flames floating in mid-air.
This is the Earth’s core fire that drives countless cultivators to madness!
Fang Yu’s eyes were filled with excitement as he walked towards the flames.
Cao Tian came to his senses and roared, charging towards Fang Yu and throwing a punch.
Fang Yu didn’t even turn back. He raised his left palm and effortlessly blocked the punch.
Cao Tian gritted his teeth, using all his strength, but Fang Yu remained as still as a mountain!
How is this possible!?
This person’s strength, it’s even stronger than his?! And by so much?
Cao Tian’s heart pounded, and he unleashed another punch.
Fang Yu’s figure suddenly moved backward, dodging the punch, and then kicked Cao Tian in the abdomen.
“Bang!”
With a muffled thud, Cao Tian fell backwards and landed in the soil behind him.
Fang Yu walked to the heart of the fire and reached his hand into the flames.
Cao Tian, sprawled on the ground, originally intended to stop Fang Yu. Seeing this scene, however, a playful smirk appeared on his face.
He knew the intensity of this flame, it was enough to turn Fang Yu’s hand into charcoal in an instant!
The next second, his face changed.
Only to see Fang Yu’s right hand emitting a burst of golden light, then effortlessly extended into the flames, showing no sign of being burned at all.
“How is that possible…”
Cao Tian was stunned, his eyes full of shock.
Even his Stone-Crusher Hand would be instantly reduced to ashes.
This human before me, mere flesh and blood, seems unharmed?
This is beyond his comprehension!
FANG Yu thrust his hand into the flames, his brow furrowing in response.
Could this really be the earth’s core fire?
As Fang Yu was thinking this, he suddenly noticed that the flames were engulfing an object.
Just like Ji Feng said, this is a heart.
At this point, the grayish-white substance on the heart has completely vanished.
This heart, it just started beating so rhythmically.
“Whose heart is this?” Fang Yu reached out and grabbed the heart in his hand.
Seeing this scene, Cao Tian’s face changed drastically!
The resurrected Heart of the Undying King is the hope of their entire Undying race!
It must not fall into the hands of others, nor be destroyed again!
“Let go of me!”
He immediately stood up and rushed toward Fang Yu.
“Oh? It seems this thing is quite important. Well, I’m afraid I won’t be returning it.” Fang Yu smiled faintly, pulling the heart from the flames and tossing it in the air.
Cao Tian’s eyes were filled with rage, he rushed to Fang Yu’s face and roared angrily at his attack.
Fang Yu’s figure flickered, effortlessly dodging every blow from Cao Tian.
He still had his spectacles on.
Cao Tian’s movements, in his vision, were like slow-motion shots in a movie, slowing down to the extreme.
“Forget it, you’re too weak.” Fang Yu kicked Cao Tian in both knees with one foot.
Cao Tian’s knee was instantly kicked, his figure plummeting downward as if kneeling before Fang Yu.
“I’m not even familiar with you, why kneel to me?” Fang Yu said with a slight sneer.
“I want to kill, I want to kill!”
Cao Tian was stimulated by Fang Yu’s words to the point of utter madness. He shook his head directly, wanting to smash Fang Yu with his skull.
Fang Yu took a step back, just about to throw a punch.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.
Fang Yu’s heart, clutched in his left hand, was stolen by this figure.
“Hmm?”
Fang Yu turned around and saw the Yan Yao who had just fought with him last night.
When Yan Yao saw Fang Yu, his face turned extremely ugly.
She never imagined that the person who wanted to obstruct Cao Tian would be Fang Yu!
This damn human, already made her pay yesterday!
Even his claws met their end at his hands! It enraged the Immortal King!
And today, regarding the revival of the Immortal King’s heart, things were going quite smoothly at first.
Ke Banlu, Fang Yu once again charged onto the battlefield!
This human seems determined to make an enemy of our immortal race!
But even in her rage, Yan Yao remained composed.
After last night’s events, she knew Fang Yu’s power was immense, far more threatening than any other human.
So, now she can’t fight Fang Yu.
The only thing she had to do was deliver a heart, whole and unblemished, before the Immortal King.
This is the most important thing, it concerns the future of the entire immortal race!
“Yeah.” Fang Yu saw Yan Yao and smiled.
Taking advantage of this moment, Cao Tian behind him, with all his might, punched Fang Yu’s back!
“Boom!”
A deafening roar shook the entire space violently.
But Fang Yu was as if nothing had happened, still standing in place, not even frowning.
Cao Tian was completely dumbfounded.
With that punch, cracks appeared on his fist.
But Fang Yu, he wasn’t even a little bit affected!?
Cao Tian took two steps back and looked at Yan Yao.
A black light flashed in Yan Yao’s hand, and then a black stone appeared in her palm.
She threw the stone at Caitian and said, “Throw this stone into the flames, and it will absorb the flames! I leave this matter to you!”
Cao Tian took the stone, was stunned for a moment, and immediately rushed towards the flames.
This is the Immortal King’s command, it must be completed no matter what!
Fang Yu originally wanted to chase after Yan Yao, but after thinking about it, he decided that the Earth’s Core Fire was more important.
He turned around and was about to rush towards Cao Tian.
“Boom!”
At this moment, another deafening boom echoed.
A hole was blasted into Fang Yu’s head.
A grotesquely hideous head emerged from above.
This is a centipede!
Giant centipede!
The centipede’s head, charging straight towards Fang Yu.
It opened its mouth, spewing forth green venom!
Fang Yu didn’t want to be touched by this disgusting liquid and dodged.
At this moment, Cao Tian had already rushed to the front of the flames and was about to throw the black stone out.
Just the next second, Fang Yu appeared before him and punched his head.
“Bang!”
Cao Tian’s entire head exploded instantly, his body stiffening in place.
“Whoosh…”
At this moment, the giant centipede turned its head and charged towards Fang Yu again.
In its many clawed hands, it held black stones, which it then hurled towards the heart of the earth.
Fang Yu noticed this and directly reached out, standing in the flames.
Then, he muttered incantations in his mouth and circulated the Devouring Spirit Art!
A vortex of crimson energy swirls in his hand.
The next second, the entire ball of flames was absorbed by Fang Yu’s right hand and vanished!
