"It should be down there. Huh? Qi Boundary."
"I don't know which Sect it is, but they actually let a Little One into a Qi Boundary. Isn't that asking for death?"
"A mere Qi Boundary can actually refine a Peak of the Transformation Realm level Lava Demon Heart... We can't let him continue refining."
The Stone Brothers, who had been following Fang Chen's trail, hovered in mid-air, their gazes fixed coldly on a volcano below that had lost its divinity and heat.
Although Lava Demons were nearly endless in this Lava Hell, those reaching the Peak of the Transformation Realm were not many. Moreover, such high-level Lava Demons typically commanded large armies composed of numerous Body Refinement Realm and Qi Boundary Lava Demons. Encountering them meant that not only would it be difficult to kill them, but escaping unscathed would be extremely challenging.
Even if one possessed overwhelming strength to slay them, a Lava Demon would explode its internal Heart upon death, unleashing a final powerful attack against its enemy. Unless one was significantly stronger and could kill it instantly, obtaining the Energy Heart would be nearly impossible.
Given all these factors, acquiring the Heart of an Alchemy Realm Lava Demon was incredibly difficult—almost unfathomable. At least for the three brothers, Shiyang, Stone Wu, and Stone Horizontal, who had spent quite some time in this Lava Hell, they had gained nothing.
In fact, the reason those six disciples from the Danling Sect managed to obtain three Hearts was merely due to luck; they stumbled upon a nest of Lava Demons, and those three Hearts were simply picked up or stolen.
"Kill!"
The three of them exchanged thoughts, their faces revealing a chilling glint. Then, they moved swiftly towards the dormant volcano below.
Supreme Creation, aside from relying on chance, was more often seized through force. In the Colorful Sacred Realm, even among disciples of the same Seven Sects Conference, it was common for individuals from different Sects, or even from the same sect, to turn against each other when tempted. Therefore, it was entirely normal for someone with lesser strength to be killed and have their own Supreme Creation taken away. The Shiyang Brothers had done such things before.
Moreover, a mere Little One at the Qi Boundary, while exhibiting some strange behavior as shown by Fang Chen, posed no pressure on them and certainly wouldn't deter them.
Just as the Shiyang Brothers set off, within the volcano, Fang Chen, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed after refining one Lava Demon Heart and was now working on a second, suddenly felt a twitch in his eye and abruptly opened them.
"Someone has attracted attention so quickly, and three people came at once. Huh? Triplets..." Standing up, he focused his gaze on the three small black dots that had suddenly appeared at the volcano's mouth, his expression slightly tightening.
In the Cultivation Realm, the triplets are all martial artists, and each of them has the same level of cultivation, which is quite rare. After all, the path of martial arts is not suitable for everyone, and the speed and efficiency of cultivation vary from person to person. Therefore, when Fang Chen saw the Shiyang Brothers, he was somewhat surprised.
However, after the surprise, a sense of gravity surfaced in his heart. The triplets have the same cultivation level and are all Lian Jue practitioners, indicating that they often work together to confront enemies. Facing such a trio is much more challenging than dealing with three ordinary Late Stage of Transformation Realm martial artists with equal strength.
"It seems I can only change locations," Fang Chen murmured, his handsome face showing little change in expression.
The Heart of the Lava Demon at the Peak of the Transformation Realm is indeed one of the most precious treasures in this Lava Hell. Although he had only refined one, Fang Chen could clearly feel that his Qi Energy had become even more vigorous and that his physical strength had significantly improved. Now, facing the three Late Stage of Transformation Realm Shiyang Brothers, while he might not be their match, escaping would not be difficult.
"However, it's rare for someone to come looking for me; it’s a good opportunity to test my strength. After all, leaving just like this would be too boring. Moreover, there are some things I can conveniently give to them," Fang Chen said lightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He has never been one to suffer losses easily; being bullied without a word and retreating in shame is not his style.
"Tsk tsk, this Little One has quite a bit of courage; he doesn’t even try to hide or flee upon seeing us."
"It seems he is already prepared to offer up his treasures."
"Leave behind the treasures and your head, and you can go."
The three—Shiyang, Stone Wu, and Stone Horizontal—rushed forward and surrounded Fang Chen. They began to mock him without restraint.
They were not kind-hearted individuals; before coming to the Colorful Sacred Realm, they were notorious within their Sect. Now, in this lawless Colorful Sacred Realm, they were even more unrestrained. Even if Fang Chen were to hand over all his treasures, it was clear they had no intention of letting him go.
"Don't think too highly of yourselves; you’re just three rats sneaking around following a scent. Why would I need to hide?" Fang Chen stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly.
His gaze was disdainful; even when surrounded by the three, he showed no signs of concern.
"Looking for death! You, a mere Qi Boundary disciple, dare to be arrogant in front of us three? Do you want to die even faster?"
The expressions of the three turned cold, their eyes gleaming with a chilling light.
"If you have any helpers, you should call them out now; otherwise, you might not get another chance."
Shiyang said coldly, scanning the surroundings as if searching for something.
How could a Qi Boundary person snatch the Lava Demon Heart from several Danling Sect disciples? And yet, he remained so carefree while refining it here? Even upon seeing the three of them, he showed no signs of fear! All of this made Shiyang and the others feel it was strange and led them to believe that Fang Chen must have some capable helpers hiding nearby.
"Helpers?" A mocking smile appeared on Fang Chen's lips. He shook his head and said lightly, "You are mistaken. I don't have any helpers, and besides, I don't need any to deal with you."
"Arrogant!"
Stone Wu sneered. After careful inspection, they found no one else around and felt relieved. He scoffed, "I have to admit, as someone who hasn't even reached the Alchemy Realm, it's impressive that you have survived this long in Lava Hell and obtained the Lava Demon Heart. Your luck is truly remarkable. However, this is where it ends for you. Meeting us three brothers is your greatest misfortune!"
As he spoke, a silver-white light suddenly burst forth from his hand. At the same time, Stone Wu and Stone Horizontal also drew their weapons. The frenzy of Spiritual Energy surged toward Fang Chen.
