After an unknown amount of time, the light on the stone slab slowly faded. Hu Mazi opened his eyes, a ray of light flashing within them. His aura was much stronger than before, and he had directly broken through to the Earth Immortal Realm!
“I broke through!”
Hu Mazi clenched his fists, feeling the strength overflowing within him. “Thank you for reminding me, kid, otherwise I would have lost this inheritance!”
“You have awakened your innate strength; relying completely on inheritance would not allow your strength to grow so rapidly.”
David knew that Hu Mazi was originally very strong, but after several reincarnations, his strength seemed to have been sealed.
Now, thanks to this inherited power, Hu Mazi’s strength had been partially unlocked, which was why he was able to quickly reach the Earth God Realm.
Hu Mazi’s strength will increase over time.
David’s gaze fell on a row of small characters at the bottom of the stone slab. “It seems like we need to speed up the process. The stone tablet says that an ancient demon general is sealed in the core area of the Demon Burial Abyss. The seal is now very weak. If he manages to escape, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
Hu Mazi’s face darkened: “Could it be that the treasure Youyue wants is in the core area?”
“Very likely.”
David nodded, “The demon race has always wanted to liberate the demons from the bottom of the abyss. The treasure Youyue asked us to take is probably something that can control the demon generals.”
We must find the treasure before his people arrive, or the consequences will be dire.
The two of them did not dare to delay and continued deeper into the passage behind the stone slab.
The passage was getting narrower, and the devilish energy was getting denser, but thanks to the runes left behind by the Hu clan ancestor and the clan leader’s identification mark on Hu Mazi’s body, the devilish energy couldn’t get close to them at all.
After walking for about half an hour, a lava pool appeared ahead. Dark red lava churned within the pool, emitting heat that burned the surrounding rock walls until they were fiery red.
There was no bridge over the lava pool, only a few thick iron chains connecting it to the other side. The chains were rusty and looked like they could break at any time.
“How do we get across?”
Looking at the roiling lava, Hu Mazi frowned. “The chains are too thin; they can’t support our weight at all.”
Unable to fly at the moment, the two could only move forward on foot, and the sudden appearance of such a lava pool was extremely dangerous.
David scanned the area around the lava pool and noticed that there were rocks protruding from the rock wall at some point, with runes carved on them. “These stones are footholds. The runes on them can withstand high temperatures. We can step on these stones to cross.”
