Chapter 1703: Chapter 38: Flame Corpse Centipede
Over by the Heavenly Star Mountain Range, cultivators kept gathering, and in this deepest part of the range, prohibitions swirled. Even the most powerful fierce beasts inside were wary of entering, but now, the prohibitions were rapidly dissipating.
A gigantic tomb had already come into view, waiting for the prohibitions to vanish entirely so that the multitude of cultivators could enter.
Upon arrival at the Heavenly Star Mountain Range, Lin Feng saw large groups of cultivators gathered around.
Many cultivators were wandering around the outskirts.
"Heavenly... Fire..."
"Heavenly... Fire..."
Suddenly, an excited voice echoed within Lin Feng’s mind.
This voice was even clearer now.
It was the voice calling for the Heavenly Fire from before.
"Is this the Hell Netherworld Fire’s Fire Spirit?" Lin Feng couldn’t help but frown slightly.
If the Hell Netherworld Fire Fire Spirit remained alive, it would be quite troublesome.
Such a powerful Heavenly Fire.
The Fire Spirit still alive.
What terrifying level of cultivation would it possess?
Just the thought of it sent shivers down one’s spine.
Of course, Lin Feng was no longer the same as before.
Although aware of how formidable the Hell Netherworld Fire might be, he was not afraid.
He had many cards up his sleeve and possessed Supreme Treasures.
Even if he had to battle the Hell Netherworld Fire Fire Spirit, and found himself at a disadvantage, Lin Feng believed he could still escape.
He waited in the peripheral area as many cultivators from major forces arrived; such a Great Tomb would naturally draw much interest.
Lin Feng raised an eyebrow slightly when he saw Dong Zhuo.
Clearly, Dong Zhuo had gotten wind of the news and hurried over.
Beyond that, he also spotted experts from the Chu Family and the Merfolk Clan.
These were the same experts who had tried to seize the Monkey Wine before, and Lin Feng remembered them well.
Aside from many masters from Jiuzhou forces, Lin Feng noticed several powerful fierce beasts.
These beasts, each with overwhelming ferocity, and nobody dared provoke them.
Lin Feng speculated.
Those beasts were likely the dominator-level fierce beasts the Four Holy Birds spoke of within the Heavenly Star Mountain Range.
"Master, have you sensed the presence of Heavenly Fire?" the Four Holy Birds asked.
Lin Feng replied, "Vaguely sensed it, I suspect it’s likely inside the Great Tomb."
"If Master could truly refine the Hell Netherworld Fire and ignite your own Divine Fire with it, you’d be unrivaled! Then, Master might even be able to instantly kill many True God Realm experts," the Four Holy Birds said with a grin.
Lin Feng said, "Provided one can genuinely refine the Hell Netherworld Fire!"
...
As time passed, more cultivators arrived from various places.
The prohibition guarding the Great Tomb was continuously weakening.
Finally!
Five days later!
The Great Tomb’s prohibition completely dissipated.
...
A rumbling sound then echoed out.
Crack, crack, crack!
Immediately afterwards.
The Great Tomb split open.
A massive passageway led into its depths.
Upon seeing the split-open Great Tomb, many excitedly rushed towards it.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Swarms of cultivators poured into the Great Tomb.
Lin Feng flew towards it as well.
As he reached the entrance of the tomb, Lin Feng stopped.
His gaze involuntarily fell on the gigantic stele behind the Great Tomb.
The stele stood a hundred meters tall.
But on the stele.
Nothing was inscribed.
"An anonymous tomb, huh?"
Lin Feng couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"If this were the Deputy Prison Warden’s tomb, logically it shouldn’t be an anonymous one!"
"Moreover, who constructed such a vast tomb? It’s truly strange..."
Lin Feng felt many points of doubt in his heart.
This Great Tomb was filled with mysteries.
He circled around the anonymous tomb.
After examining it closely, he found nothing particularly unusual before entering the tomb with the Four Holy Birds.
Once inside the tomb, he discovered it was filled with labyrinthine passages resembling an ant nest.
Each passage was roughly three to four meters in diameter.
The Four Holy Birds, now a palm-sized miniature bird, perched on Lin Feng’s shoulder.
Lin Feng chose a passage and went inside.
Soon, he realized that the tomb’s passages were interconnected with each other.
"There are dragon bones here!"
In one passage, a cultivator shouted, prompting everyone to rush over for a look.
Upon hearing the shout, Lin Feng hurried over as well.
In the depths of this passage appeared a large lava lake, approximately over a thousand square meters.
Floating in the lava lake was a dragon skeleton, its age of death unknown.
The lava within the lake was still boiling.
"Do you think there might be some treasures in this lava lake?" one cultivator said.
Another cultivator replied, "In such a place, even with treasure, it’s not worth the risk. A giant dragon died here, maybe something terrible is hidden within."
Many found the suggestion reasonable.
But some were bold and said, "Fortune favors the bold! What’s there to fear? Let’s go down and see for ourselves."
About a dozen cultivators banded together, using mana to create a Magic Light Shield to protect themselves.
Then, ten cultivators entered the lava lake.
But for a long time, they did not re-emerge.
"Could they have died?" someone muttered.
"Certainly not dead, so many people, even if they died, wouldn’t die silently. Maybe there is treasure?" a cultivator whispered.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Gradually, more cultivators entered the lake.
Soon, news spread about numerous Fire Origin Stones below.
Fire Origin Stones are a type of Source Crystal Stone, but they are extremely rare since they possess a fire attribute.
Among Source Crystal Stones, those of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth attributes are the rarest.
This caused a frenzy, as many cultivators rushed in.
"With so many Fire Origin Stones piled up, could there be some secret beneath this lava lake?" Lin Feng wondered.
He formed a Magic Light Shield around himself and the Four Holy Birds before entering the lava lake.
Below, hundreds of cultivators were busy collecting Fire Origin Stones.
Lin Feng had just descended into the lake when he noticed something squirming beneath his feet. He lifted his foot and saw a fiery red Corpse Centipede.
"Not good, it’s a Flame Corpse Turtle, Master, hurry up and leave. Flame Corpse Turtles can devour gods," the Four Holy Birds shrieked in fear.
Lin Feng had never heard of Flame Corpse Turtles before, nor did they exist outside.
It’s likely an extinct species from the Immortal Ancient Era?
Yet they’re still in this lost world.
Without hesitation, he flew towards the outside of the lake.
Shouting loudly at the same time, "There are Flame Corpse Turtles that can devour gods here, everyone leave quickly!..."
Many cultivators were collecting Fire Origin Stones and heard Lin Feng’s shout.
Several scoffed since they hadn’t seen any centipedes.
Even if they did, so what?
With so many Divine Realm masters, can’t they deal with centipedes?
Regarding Lin Feng’s claim that Flame Corpse Turtles can devour gods, these cultivators didn’t believe a word.
Corpse Centipedes are merely the lowest form of insects, how could they devour gods?
Thus, many didn’t heed Lin Feng’s warning.
However, some cautious cultivators flew out with Lin Feng.
Eventually, Lin Feng and a dozen other cultivators emerged, just as they flew out of the lava lake.
Immediately, a horrifying scene occurred.
The entire Magma World began to churn.
Amid the rolling lava were swarms of fiery red palm-sized Corpse Centipedes.
Within a breath, the lava lake returned to calm.
The countless centipedes had vanished.
Yet, the cultivators collecting Fire Origin Stones in the lake had also stopped moving.
Evidently, those cultivators had been consumed by the Flame Corpse Turtles.
Lin Feng and the dozen cultivators’ faces turned pale as paper upon witnessing this, thankful they had escaped in time. A moment’s delay and they could have been devoured instantly by those Flame Corpse Turtles.
Those Flame Corpse Turtles were terrifying beyond belief, and even Heavenly God Realm masters would face certain death in the lake.
