CHAPTER 430 BLAST THEIR WAY THROUGH THE MAGMA

Darren's and the Water Kylin's skin had burned completely. Without wasting time, they crossed their

legs and sat in mid-air. Eyes closed in meditation, they began to heal themselves.

Over the following three days, Hailey used her strength as a rule cultivator to help heal Darren and the

Water Kylin. It was the only way to remove the heat toxins inside their bodies.

"It seems that we must use the previous method," Darren said as soon as he woke from the state of

restoring his energy.

"Yes. With the Water Kylin's aid, it is possible for us to reach a depth of seven or eight kilometers."

There wasn't any other solution except to blast their way through the magma layer.

"Miss Yao, the magma layer varies in thickness in different areas. Can you find the thinnest place?"

Timothy asked.

"Over the past few days, I've checked the magma sea. There is a spot about ten kilometers from here

to the east, where the thickness of the magma layer is about seven kilometers." Hailey knew that the

other methods wouldn't work, and so, she had begun to check while Darren and the Water Kylin were

still healing.

"Great! Let's go." Darren nodded, and then they flew eastward while Darren protected the others with

his flame intent. They were grateful for Darren's flame intent because it safeguarded them as long as it

was not damaged by the magma.

After they arrived at the spot identified by Hailey, Darren and his friends prepared themselves.

"We must hit the magma continuously and as quickly as possible so that the magma can't gather

immediately. Then, we will have a chance to fly through."

"Yes. We need to attack the same spot accurately, one by one."

"Well, let's try it now," Darren said.

Then, Darren mobilized his strongest skills to bombard the sea of magma below.

Boom!

A hole about a hundred meters in diameter opened in the magma sea. The gap, being wide at the top

and narrow at the bottom, formed a funnel shape. But the depth of the hole was less than expected.

Darren estimated that it was only about six-hundred meters deep.

Abelard followed immediately after Darren had finished. But he didn't summon his strongest ax skill

during the experiment.

Then, Timothy and Hailey attacked the magma in the hole as quickly as possible to prevent it from

closing.

"Humph, it's my turn!" the Water Kylin announced as he released a flash of blue lightning. The lightning

formed a celestial pillar as it headed for the hole.

After the lightning struck the magma, the hole's diameter increased to about a kilometer. Fortunately for

them, the magma didn't flow back and close the hole. But the hole's depth, as increased by the Water

Kylin, was disappointing.

"Fuck! Why did my attack just increase the depth by a kilometer?" The Water Kylin was so frustrated

that his fur bristled as he hopped in mid-air.

"Shit! It seems as though the deeper we go, the stronger the cohesive force of the magma becomes.

We have only reached about six kilometers with our attacks. We are still a kilometer short of our

target," Darren surmised.

"Yes, but we have reached the peak of our power. Even if we try to attack it a few more times, we will

be unable to break through this magma layer," Hailey said calmly.

Darren couldn't fly through the magma layer unharmed, either. So, they had no other choice but to

break through it entirely.

"There is only one option now," Darren said abruptly after thinking for a moment.

"What?"

"Water Kylin will be the first to repeat his attack. Simultaneously, we will fly down with him. When we

get to the bottom of the tunnel, the rest of us will attack it, one after another.

And, we can't just hit it once. We have to continually replace each other's attacks. That is the only way

to break through the magma layer," Darren said.

After a brief discussion, Abelard, Hailey, and Timothy agreed with Darren's idea.

"Are you ready? We must be careful to avoid being enveloped by the magma," Darren warned.

"Got it! Let's begin." The others responded in unison.

"Come on, Water Kylin!" As Darren shouted, the Water Kylin flew toward the sky and summoned his

most potent force to hit the magma layer, creating an enormous gap.

However, except for Darren, the others could not assimilate the demonic core and regain their spiritual

energy. And so, they would only continue to weaken after using their strongest force.

After the hole appeared, everyone flew to the bottom at their fastest speed.

As they neared the end of the tunnel, Abelard used the soul of the ax. When the hole opened a little

more, they continued to fly downward.

Then, Timothy, Hailey, and Darren took turns to blast the gap.

With this series of attacks, the tunnel reached about six kilometers in depth. And, the magma layer

above did not have enough time to close because their movement was very swift.

"Continue!"

After two successive attacks, the Water Kylin felt as though he had weakened. Furthermore, it was

challenging to hit the bottom of the tunnel. So, he only reached about three-hundred meters this time. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Then, the others bombarded the magma again, in the previous order.

However, only about seven hundred meters was added to the depth of the hole in the second round.

"I sense that we still need to blast through about four hundred meters to enter the ground," Hailey said

weakly.

"I will do it!" Aware that the others didn't have much power left, Darren volunteered to finish the job. He

aimed his dark gold internal force and the olive-black force at the hole.

After making some progress, they noticed that Darren's attacks were only achieving a depth of about

ten meters the closer they got to the last few hundred meters.

"Oh, my God! The magma is beginning to flow through the tunnel!"

The whole process, from start to end, lasted about nine seconds. By now, the magma layer above had

begun to close the gap.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Darren became more desperate in his attacks. The Water Kylin, who was standing beside him,

activated his last skill to assist Darren.

"It's only about one hundred and fifty meters away!" Hailey announced. This whole time, she had used

her powers to sense the movement of the magma.

"Great. Come with me!" the Water Kylin said as he prepared to dash into the hole first.

"No!" Hailey screamed to stop the Water Kylin. "The force of the soul refining at the bottom of the

magma is very strong. You will melt in a split second if you go now."

The Water Kylin stopped in his tracks. Instead of flying forward, he continued to bombard the magma

with Darren.

"It's too late!"

The magma was crashing down on them like monstrous billowing waves, dropping melted rock and

metals onto their bodies.

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

Now that they had made contact with the magma, Darren's flame intent could no longer protect them.

Abelard and Timothy cried out with pain. Meanwhile, Hailey had to use her abilities as a rule cultivator

to support.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! It hurts..." the Water Kylin screamed as the magma splashed on him.

Darren grew flustered. Only about a hundred meters of the magma layer was left. However, the magma

at the bottom was so terrible that Darren couldn't hold on for a few more seconds.

"Shit! Are we going to die?"

Hopelessness coursed through everyone when they realized they were so close to death.

"Open the Ancient Void Battlefield!"

Darren roared. In a flash, an enormous force yanked everybody, except for Darren himself, directly into

the Ancient Void Battlefield.

After feeling a wave of dizziness, the three people and the Water Kylin entered the Ancient Void

Battlefield. They began to worry about Darren who was still outside, being enveloped by the magma.
