A seemingly empty insect cocoon explodes, revealing nothing but a strange inner lining. As the group questions the lack of danger, the surrounding cocoons begin to bubble. Suddenly, invisible demons with health bars appear and rapidly self-destruct, causing the passage floor to collapse. The group plummets downwards, unable to slow their descent as a terrifying force pushes them into a dense mass.

Everyone descended rocket-like straight down, until...

BOOM!!!!!

The entire ground shook violently, thick smoke rolled out from everyone’s landing point like a rolling fog.

-1354!

-1862!

-510!

Fang Yu saw the damage numbers appearing above a few people.

Not to mention Fatty Jia and Guan Anxuan.

Even the always strong Dongfang Aotian lost over five hundred health, looking very pale now.

Only Luo Jianqing and Daoist Qing Yan were unharmed, although their expressions weren’t great either, seemingly not fond of such a thrilling entrance.

The Bone Powder around Fang Yu scattered like sand, and he also noticed that the ground was surprisingly soft.

And this softness was rapidly deteriorating, returning to a normal hard state.

Fang Yu was stunned, glancing at Daoist Qing Yan.

In that moment, Daoist Qing Yan not only opened a shield for the team but also subtly changed the land’s properties in a short interval.

This guy...

Fang Yu already thought Daoist Qing Yan was strong, now he held him in even higher regard.

Such refined control in such a short time, Daoist Qing Yan’s strength is likely beyond his predictions!

Especially that bloodline that seemed as unfathomable as the deep sea.

[Zhou Qingyan: 1000/1000.]

"Seems like no big problem, is everyone okay?"

Daoist Qing Yan’s voice rang out, reassuringly amidst the swirling dust.

Everyone responded, reporting their injuries.

Some had abrasions, some had bone injuries, but none were severe.

Fang Yu raised his head at this moment.

As the dust they brought began to dissipate, he looked up, only to see not a straight passage, but... an upward sloping path just like before.

In the pitch-black passage, eerie green Evil Qi lingered, and occasionally there seemed to be a gurgling sound, as though more Twisted Wish Demons were awakening.

Fang Yu:...

Fang Yu pondered, if he had reacted faster, let the Ice Blade of the Ice Blood Explosion scatter out, maybe he could gain a lot of experience points?

But at that time, the situation was urgent and unclear; not to mention Fang Yu didn’t dare act recklessly, even if he dared, he needed the reaction time.

So many Great Demons sacrificed themselves, stacking power, honestly, if the group faced it head-on, some might die. Even if not dead, they’d be severely injured, leaving one or two crippled.

Fang Yu didn’t expect, that now the eighty thousand Great Demons, which posed little threat to him, still had a terrifying power under special abilities and sufficient numbers.

It truly shows that quantity can trigger qualitative change; fortunately, most demons have strong self-awareness, preferring solo combat and monopolizing prey.

Otherwise, if every demon gathered in groups with special abilities, humans would truly struggle to survive in the wild.

Wait! Speaking of which, Lan Yuhe over there in Demon Capital actually has... a terrifying influence I never imagined before?

While Fang Yu was thinking aimlessly, the rest had recovered from their state.

"Cough cough!"

Guan Anxuan’s coughing worsened, and when she removed her hand from her mouth, Fang Yu’s pupils immediately shrank.

Guan Anxuan was coughing out green blood.

Turning to Guan Anxuan herself, despite the crisis having passed, her colorful skin maintained its hue; upon closer look, a dark blotch resembling phone screen leakage was seen rolling in her eye socket.

This is?!

Fang Yu’s expression slightly changed, seeing Guan Anxuan suddenly noticed his gaze, slapped her hand over the abnormal eye, then glared at him.

"What are you looking at!"

Fang Yu’s initial bated concern relaxed instantly.

It seemed... not out of control, just simple demonization worsening...

Fang Yu suddenly remembered something and quickly checked it.

He recalled that during their fall, amidst the influx of Evil Qi, the system had popped up a prompt...

[System Prompt: [Demonization] increased by 1%.]

[System Prompt: [Erosion Level] increased by 1%!]

Only one percent, not high.

But then, Fang Yu realized.

He is now heavily bound with Erosion Level and Demonization, different from others’ situations.

Moreover, each person endures demonization intensity differently.

Fang Yu may withstand it, but others may not.

Fortunately, Guan Anxuan’s condition remains within a controllable range, not too bad.

Could the effect of Evil Qi...

Fang Yu glanced at the surrounding swirling green Evil Qi, pondering.

His mind flashed back to the green blood Guan Anxuan had just coughed out...

"Everyone, follow me closely."

Starting off on the wrong foot, Daoist Qing Yan became a bit more serious.

Everyone followed in sequence, even Dongfang Aotian, who didn’t get along with Fang Yu, became obedient and quiet now.

Fang Yu didn’t know under such circumstances, how Daoist Qing Yan could recognize the path.

Because below this space is immensely vast; from any angle since leaving the previous dropping passage, everywhere looked greenish without distinct features, unable to distinguish directions.

Accompanied by the jade necklace’s frantic absorption, everyone could keep seeing the road ahead.

But despite this consumption, the jade necklace’s sheen visibly dimmed.

If not for the jade necklace’s continuous absorption of Evil Qi, Fang Yu would have thought it was going to quit working.

It truly is a high-end item; if it were his own Dragon Soul Seal, it’d already be stuffed, full, ready to quit working.

"It’s here!"

Daoist Qing Yan’s sudden utterance pulled Fang Yu’s thoughts back sharply.

Though everyone stayed silent along the way, they all were mentally tense.

After such an ordeal, everyone still had lingering energy.

So Daoist Qing Yan’s voice startled everyone.

But once they reacted, everyone showed some relief, relaxing somewhat.

Such a perilous area, the sooner the task is completed and they can escape, the better.

Fang Yu looked ahead, seeing in front of Daoist Qing Yan was a magma lake.

Extreme high temperatures, yet possessing soft soil-like properties.

More importantly, the drifting green Evil Qi above seemed attracted to the Magma Lake, clearly thinning in this area.

Fang Yu glanced at Daoist Qing Yan.

No wonder Daoist Qing Yan could find the path; if the Magma Lake has such characteristics, then within this space, exploring areas with thinner Evil Qi leads to finding this lake eventually.

Wait!

Daoist Qing Yan didn’t mean for them to enter the Magma Lake, right?

Looking at that high temperature and viscosity, interacting with Evil Qi and seemingly undergoing some mutations, Fang Yu thought they might walk on the surface briefly; but if deeper into the lake...

Okay.

Daoist Qing Yan levitated.

Not buddy...

Fang Yu looked back at the others.

Luo Jianqing stepped inside without changing expression, showing faint Qi Force flow, indicating Luo Jianqing used some Qi technique to tread effortlessly.

The others hesitated slightly, but Dongfang Aotian soon stepped first.

The Protective Aura sizzled, yet he remained unchanged.

Then came the skin-demonized Guan Anxuan, lifted by Daoist Qing Yan’s Eight Diagrams Demon Feng Yahu.

At this moment, only Fatty Jia and Fang Yu hadn’t stepped in, and the team seemed not to wait for them.

Evidently, if these small challenges couldn’t be overcome, it wasn’t the team looking down on Fang Yu and Jia, rather they were self-deprecating.

Fatty Jia leisurely swapped to thick shoes, then sizzlingly stepped onward; he had few skills but plenty of items.

Seeing Fatty Jia provoke glance, Fang Yu raised a brow, turned on local boneification, white bones covered his feet, slightly raising his height, naturally stepping into the Magma Lake.
