Hiss!
As if crushing a worm, the moment the massive red hand descended, a large amount of black water in Black Torrent evaporated instantly, along with the thin black needles that were as fine as hair, turning to ashes.
A powerful set of magical artifacts was completely obliterated just like that! Along with it, the Black Giant Palm that was originally aimed at Fang Chen also dissipated entirely between heaven and earth.
"This..." Wang Chaoyang's mouth twitched involuntarily, his heart filled with shock.
He knew very well how powerful his set of artifacts was; while a strong individual from the Heavenly Realm could easily break through it, destroying it would require considerable effort. Not to mention erasing it so directly and thoroughly. Yet for the Lava Demon, which was about to reveal itself, it seemed to be merely a light squeeze.
Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!
"Damn you, it's all because of you!" Wang Chaoyang growled lowly, his gaze suddenly turning towards Fang Chen, filled with resentment.
If it weren't for this guy suddenly intervening and snatching away his Lava Demon Heart, how could he have ended up in such a predicament?
The Lava Demon, a terrifying being from the Heavenly Realm that even surpassed ordinary Heavenly Realm experts, was now a threat to Wang Chaoyang's life!
"You will die!" Amidst the resentment, Wang Chaoyang's Killing Intent intensified. He abruptly turned around and shot towards Fang Chen.
However, at that moment, a tremendous force suddenly descended, causing Wang Chaoyang's body to freeze in mid-air. Not only that, but Fang Chen not far away was also similarly immobilized; both their faces still bore expressions of shock, yet their bodies were utterly unable to move.
"Boom..."
At that moment, a massive fiery red head emerged from the cracked molten lava!
Yes, a head!
This Lava Demon, seemingly at the peak of the Heavenly Realm, had only one eye; the other eye socket was hollowed out as if its eyeball had been forcibly removed, appearing extremely terrifying!
Its head alone was as large as a house. As its enormous body slowly emerged from deep within the earth, it paused after revealing most of itself. Its body was different from the Lava Demons Fang Chen had seen before; it seemed to be composed of condensed magma and rock, radiating endless heat. It glanced at Fang Chen and Wang Chaoyang, who were completely frozen nearby, finally fixing its gaze on Wang Chaoyang. The only glowing red eye held a cold light.
"You insignificant ant dares to kill my offspring and disturb my slumber; you truly deserve to die." The gigantic Lava Demon rumbled.
Fang Chen's face was expressionless due to the complete immobilization of his body, but inside, he was in shock, exclaiming in disbelief, "He can actually speak!"
It was said that some powerful beasts and otherworldly beings could reach such a level of strength that they could articulate human speech. However, even in Fang Chen's past life, he had never encountered such a being, and now one appeared right before him.
As soon as the word "damn" left his lips, the fiery red hand that had just crushed Black Torrent moved again.
This time, it reached out towards Wang Chaoyang!
Although his body was frozen and his face showed no signs of emotion, Fang Chen could still clearly sense the overwhelming fear emanating from Wang Chaoyang at that moment.
Sizzle!
However, this fear ended abruptly when the fiery red hand descended upon Wang Chaoyang.
With almost no sound, the red hand struck down and then withdrew. As an Inner Sect Disciple of the Crimson Bright Sect, Wang Chaoyang had finally managed to seize this opportunity to re-enter the Colorful Sacred Realm. He had been eager to showcase his abilities but was now utterly fallen, completely evaporated from existence!
"He's dead..." Fang Chen's heart trembled violently.
Though he wished for Wang Chaoyang's demise sooner rather than later, at the moment of Wang Chaoyang's death, Fang Chen couldn't help but shudder. A sense of sorrow washed over him; if Wang Chaoyang was dead, would he be next?
"There's still one left." The terrifying Lava Demon, which had been asleep for who knows how long, cast a glance at Fang Chen with its remaining single eye, as if looking at a mere ant.
From the gaze of this Heavenly Realm Lava Demon, Fang Chen felt a clear intent to kill. For the Lava Demon, whether it killed Fang Chen or the already deceased Wang Chaoyang made little difference. After all, it had been awakened from deep within the molten rock and was understandably angered. Moreover, upon awakening, it had witnessed Wang Chaoyang wantonly slaughtering its descendants from countless generations. Thus, Wang Chaoyang was naturally the first to be killed; as for Fang Chen, he was merely collateral damage.
"Is there no way out?" Fang Chen felt a bitter pang in his heart. Despite having calculated various scenarios, he ultimately overlooked one crucial detail: he hadn't anticipated that the strength of this Heavenly Realm Lava Demon sleeping beneath the magma would be so formidable. The moment it emerged, it completely immobilized both him and Wang Chaoyang, rendering all of Fang Chen's prepared strategies useless.
At this moment, Fang Chen clearly felt death closing in on him. Yet strangely enough, he found himself calming down.
Since reality had exceeded his expectations and death was imminent with no other options left...
Fang Chen closed his eyes as a strand of Divine Consciousness sank into his Soul Sea, preparing to invoke the Forbidden Technique.
However, at that moment...
"Buzz, buzz, buzz..."
In his hand, the Blood River Sword suddenly began to tremble lightly, and waves of Sword Resonance spread out, growing louder. A warm aura unexpectedly emanated from it, enveloping Fang Chen.
This aura felt warm to Fang Chen, but to the ancient Lava Demon that had survived for who knows how long, it was like seeing a ghost. Its previously indifferent expression suddenly sharpened.
"It’s the aura of that demon! Damn it, why has that demon appeared again?" The powerful Lava Demon became unusually panicked as if it had encountered its natural enemy. While murmuring to itself, its massive body continued to tremble.
It was not originally one-eyed; it had been gouged out during its last awakening.
"Taking one of your eyes will serve as punishment."
Faintly, those words filled with amusement seemed to echo in its ears again, causing this enormous body with unfathomable strength to shiver involuntarily.
Taking a few deep breaths, it fixed its gaze tightly on the Blood River Sword in Fang Chen's hand. Gradually, its trembling body began to calm down.
