Creation of the Universe

It is common knowledge in the Tianxuan Continent that there are huge treasures hidden in the ancient ruins.

As for what this treasure is, it is hard to say. Perhaps it is a supreme martial art, perhaps it is a magic weapon that can destroy the world, or perhaps it is a shocking secret that can subvert the entire world.

But no matter what, no one has really gotten a glimpse of the truth so far. Shen Zhan, who was a supremely powerful person in his previous life, is naturally eager to uncover this secret.

That's why he decided to send people to search separately, but before he could get any results, he was betrayed by the person he trusted the most, and everything came to an abrupt end.

"take me."

"immediately."

Shen Zhan didn't want to wait any longer. He wanted to go and see what was going on. It was a blessing to meet an old friend again after three hundred years.

However, it has been so long, and he doesn't know what kind of situation will be waiting for him.

Green Fox said, "Don't worry. The people you're looking for will eventually be there. After all, they can't go anywhere. The most urgent thing now is to help me deal with that troublesome Red Oriole. If you don't get rid of her, you can't do anything.

She recruited my former incompetent men, and now they're gradually becoming more powerful. More importantly, she won't allow any outsiders to get close to the sea of ​​fire. Besides, it's impossible for you to get through on your own."

Shen Zhan flatly refused, "I won't be used by you so easily, so don't try this idea. Take me to the sea of ​​fire first. I want to see it with my own eyes.

Also, who are you, and why is Madam Hongying bothering you?"

Green Fox answered Shen Zhan's question with a haughty look, "My real name is Su Yu. As you can see, I am a demon who has practiced for a thousand years. In this vast bloody wilderness, I am invincible.

Not long ago, when I was about to break through to a new realm, I was ambushed by Hongying, resulting in the loss of all my cultivation. I desperately escaped, and after that I was dodging pursuit while looking for opportunities to recover my cultivation until I met you.

That bitch Hongying knew that I had been to the ancient ruins and wanted to force me to take her there. She was dreaming!

But you can rest assured, as soon as I recover my power, I can lead you through the sea of ​​fire to find your friends. I have lived for thousands of years, so how could I lie to you? "

Shen Zhan secretly calculated in his heart that if it was a fox demon that had been practicing for a thousand years, its cultivation level would at least be the Martial Saint level. If what Su Yu said was true, then she did have reason to be proud.

But the situation has changed. Su Yu has no cultivation at the moment, so it is really difficult for Shen Zhan to trust her completely. Moreover, Su Yu also has the motive to deliberately instigate Shen Zhan to become an enemy of Madam Hongying, because this will benefit her in every way.

"I'm willing to believe what you say, but I still want to see it with my own eyes."

Shen Zhan's unyielding look made Su Yu angry and helpless.

She could only shake her head and reluctantly agreed: "Okay, I'll take you there right away."

The sea of ​​fire refers to an endless area in the bloody wilderness, where there is a fire all year round and it never goes out. Anyone who wants to enter the ancient ruins must first find a way to cross the sea of ​​fire. There is only one path and there is no other choice.

"Did you see that? These blazing flames are the Eight Desolate Karmic Fires. If you approach them without any preparation, you will instantly turn into vapor and disappear without a trace, leaving not even ash behind."

Su Yu used an extremely terrifying tone to explain to Shen Zhan the power of the Eight Desolate Karma Fire, with the intention of making Shen Zhan give up.

It would be best to quickly accept the suggestion she made earlier, deal with Hongying first, and then help her recover her cultivation.

Shen Zhan ignored it and picked up a stone from the air and threw it into the sea of ​​fire. However, before the stone fell into the fire, it was burned into pieces and turned into powder.

If this is the case with hard stone, let alone flesh and blood.

"I'm right, right? You'd better not insist on doing it. It's meaningless."

“Over the years, many people have gone through untold hardships to find this place. You should know that those who can reach this point are all prominent figures of their time.

But unfortunately, they could only stop there. No matter what means they used, they could not survive this piece of hellish fire and eventually died in agony.

After hearing this, Shen Zhan asked Su Yu, "What about my friends?"

"I have to say they did a great job, actually managing to cross the Eight Desolate Infernal Flames. It's just that they encountered an obstacle just as they were about to enter the ancient ruins. What a pity..."

Su Yu stopped talking and didn't say anything else, and Shen Zhan also knew that the result would naturally not be optimistic.

Now that they have seen the Eight Desolate Karma Fire, the same question is placed before them: Can people really pass through here?

There is no doubt that Shen Zhan could do it easily before, but with his current level of cultivation, he obviously has no chance.

At this time, a few people in the distance were driving a group of people with whips, slowly walking towards this side.

The driven group of people were all shirtless, with their hands and feet bound with handcuffs and shackles, looking like zombies.

Shen Zhan frowned slightly and asked Su Yu, "What's going on with these people?"

"Hmph, this is a rotten idea that stupid woman Hongying came up with. She keeps capturing these able-bodied men and forcing them to use their spiritual power to build a plank road above the sea of ​​fire. If they succeed, then people can walk on the plank road and pass through the Eight Desolate Infernal Fire without getting hurt.

But so far, countless people have died, and the plank road has never been successfully built."

Shen Zhan's gaze swept across the faces of these people one by one. All he could feel was the atmosphere of despair shrouded by death.

"Hurry up, especially you. Don't play dead in front of me. If you don't complete the task and wait for Madam to blame you, no one will be happy!"

As the words fell, the braids lashed heavily on the backs of these people, but they seemed to have been numb for a long time and did not even grunt because of the pain.

Under the pressure of Madam Hongying's men, these people began to release their spiritual power and gradually built a plank road leading to the other side above the Eight Desolate Karma Fire. With the injection of spiritual power, the plank road gradually appeared.

Shen Zhan discovered that the plank road was only built for a very short distance, and he didn't know how many people had died for this achievement.

Now, those who were pouring spiritual power into the plank road were being roasted by the scorching fire from the Eight Desolate Karma Fire. Before they could hold on for long, the blood in their bodies was immediately roasted dry.

Their bodies quickly shriveled up, turning into hideous mummies, and eventually turned into water vapor and disappeared without a trace.

It is conceivable that if Shen Zhan had been poisoned by Qi Yun and Xiao Gu before and was sent here, he would have been forced to build a plank road like these people in front of him, and then been mercilessly swallowed by the fire.
