The Volcano of Demons was a strange place inside the Shang Qing Sect. From certain angles, it was also one of the prohibited places inside the Shang Qing Sect.
After all, this place was far too terrifying. Not only was it fueled with volcanic fire, everything around it could feel the extremely high temperature that could change anyone’s expression.
However, such a terrifying place, to certain adventurous people, posed a fatal attraction. Those people are they ones determined to investigate into it.
However, because every time someone inside the Shang Qing Sect mentions the volcano, their faces change colors, even those people understood the horror of this place and they didn’t dare to step in easily.
Yet at this moment, three people were flying towards the volcano with the Volcano of Demons as their target.
The three of them were around the ages of 18 and 19. They were all wearing expensive gowns and appeared extraordinary. All of them should be people with backgrounds.
It was obvious that these people were curious people without any actual brains.
However, none of them thought of themselves as stupid. On the contrary, they were full of confidence, as if they could be walking around the volcano and be utterly unharmed.
Only the young man walking at the very back was hesitating. His speed was also a little slow.
“Hehe, once we are out of the Volcano of Demons, we will have the right to brag all we want.”
A young man wearing gold was full of confidence as he smiled, “When that happens, we will make fun of those who claim the Volcano of Demons is fatal and we will talk about our journey like it was nothing.”
“That’s right. It’s merely a volcano. How can it hurt us?”
The young man in purple was looking arrogant, as if the place he was going to wasn’t a death trap, but a prostitution house where he would get to enjoy himself.
The young man wearing a white robe, who was trailing behind, was hesitant. He whispered, “I think… since everyone talks about the volcano with such fear, it would be better if we are careful.”
“What are you afraid of?”
The young man wearing gold waved his hand. “Don’t worry. I borrowed an armor from my grandpa. You all know how good my grandpa is with crafts, so do not worry.”
“Hehe, that’s right.”
The purple robed young man chuckled. “Grandpa Chen is extremely profound with craftsmanship. An armor that he created must be good enough to stop all volcanic lava and help make our journey a smooth one.”
He paused, then continued, “Plus, I learned a defensive technique from my aunt. With this technique, I am sure I can protect all of us.”
“That’s true. I also prepared a defensive technique.”
The boy in white continued to be uncertain, “But, the volcano is one of the prohibited places inside the Shang Qing Sect. I heard that even the Supreme Headmaster refuses to enter.”
“Hmmph, you are just a p*ssy.”
The man in gold hissed, “That is merely a rumor. I do not believe a volcano possesses enough danger to frighten the Supreme Headmaster.”
“Exactly. It’s merely a volcano. So what it’s actually terrifying?”
The man in purple displayed his disdain, “Chen Shao has his armor, I have my technique. You have a trick up your sleeve as well, how can we not retreat safely?”
Hearing this, the man in white remained doubtful but didn’t comment.
“Let us go. I want to test out the volcano and see if it’s as terrifying as everyone describes it to be.”
Waving his hand, the man in gold was flooding with confidence as he headed towards the volcano.
At this, the other two men increased their speed and followed.
Just like that, the three of them traveled quickly and arrived right above the volcano.
The moment they stepped inside the radius of the volcano, they felt an extreme wave of heat attacking them. Their faces turned bright red and their robes were starting to burn a little.
This changed everyone’s expression. They didn’t think the temperature would be so high when they were merely above the volcano.
However, they came prepared, thus they weren’t flustered.
“Do not be afraid. Watch me!”
Laughing, the man in gold was full of confidence. He took out a purple umbrella from his storage pouch. Then, he held onto it with his left hand and the purple umbrella expanded and covered the three of them.
Then, he made his move and dragged the two with him as he dashed downwards.
The purple ray of light began to shine and it dispersed the flames around them as they traveled.
At this, the man in gold appeared extremely proud and he laughed, “Haha, see! The Volcano of Demons is nothing. All those rumors are false. We cannot be harmed!”
“Haha, that’s right. It is merely a volcano. Of course it cannot fight against Chen Shao’s treasure.” The person wearing purple chuckled and flattered.
However, after he spoke. The umbrella began to melt at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. After a moment of time, it completely melted away.
The three of them lost their composure and the purple man quickly formed a hand seal to display his defensive technique. The flames that were inching towards them were stopped.
At this, the three of them sighed in relief and they wiped away their sweat with their sleeves.
As they sighed in relief, a hole suddenly appeared in the barrier the man in purple set up. In the blink of an eye, the entire barrier was burned away.
Immediately, the three people’s hearts traveled up to their throats. They didn’t expect the Volcano of Demons to be this horrifying!
Remember that these three were merely at the top of the volcano and they haven’t even entered. Despite this, two of their prepared tricks have lost their effectiveness. How capable was the volcano?
Luckily, at this critical moment, the young man in white summoned his technique and protected the other two.
“Dammit, why is this volcano so horrifying? Even the craft my grandpa made is useless!”
“Terrifying! The technique my aunt taught me was also utterly useless. It melted after a few seconds!”
“I told you we shouldn’t have come. You wouldn’t listen. This is just great. My defensive move cannot last much longer. It will be hard for us to escape this!”
The man in white was sweating and was acting like an ant on a hot wok. He hurriedly attempted to strengthen his technique.
Though his move was pretty good, the volcano was even better. He wouldn’t be able to endure it for much longer.
This made the three of them fall into a state of fear. Their bodies were trembling.
What happened next made them feel even more chaotic.
The volcano below them suddenly generated a giant hole, or it could be described as a thin path. On that path, a young man wearing white was walking slowly upwards with his hands behind his back.
His brows were like swords and his robe was white like snow. Like the God of Fire, he was moving gracefully and peering down on humankind.
As he walked, all the flames around him willingly shifted away to avoid him.
This unbelievable scene made the three of them fall into a state of astonishment.
Don’t forget, this was the Volcano of Demons that everyone was terrified of. They have just experienced its terror where both the umbrella and the barrier created were instantaneously melted away!
And they were merely above the volcano, they did not even enter!
Yet before their eyes, someone was taking a stroll and was walking out of the volcano. How unbelievable was this?
How could these people not be in awe!?
As much as they were shocked however, their eyes were also shooting lights of excitement.
It was the light of hope.
