Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 480 Dive
"If you can't hold on, surface and wave to signal; don't force yourself to keep going."

"Because every time, there are those who try to be strong, either going too deep or always thinking they can hold on, and then they get burned alive."

“It happens every time, without exception, and this time is no exception.”

"Okay, let's go down."

Suddenly, the giant furnace kicked one of the steel dwarves next to it into the furnace.

"Damn it..." the steel dwarf cursed in fright, flying from the crater into the divine blood lava, then closed his eyes and began the trial.

The rest of the people flew down one after another.

Dark Wrath glanced at Zhou Leng, then leaped down, flew to the very center, and slowly sank into the magma.

Instead of jumping out immediately, Shijiao Mangxue waited patiently to determine Zhou Leng's landing point.

Zhou Leng took the divine blood medicine and jumped off the volcano wall.

In case of an accident, one can quickly escape by climbing the volcano wall.

Most importantly, the hammer secretly revealed a secret.

The magma in the Godblood Volcano doesn't usually rise this high.

Only during this specific period, when magma rises, is it suitable for the trial.

When lava rises, it often pushes up debris and even treasures from underground.

However, the easiest things to obtain have already been taken by the dwarven masters.

Some things deep inside will be collected later.

Those who have undergone the trials of the Divine Blood Magma are permitted to collect the treasures within.

Only the Iron Dwarves know this, and they never tell the other races.

The treasures deep inside are mostly on the volcanic walls.

Some magma-derived medicinal fruits, in particular, only grow on volcanic walls.

If you can sense several rare medicinal fruits and consume them on the spot, you can also extend the duration of your stay in the Divine Blood Magma.

The dwarf masters, including Julu, nodded slightly when they saw Zhou Leng leap down the cliff face.

This time, Zhou Leng used his true energy to protect his body.

After falling into the divine blood magma, thanks to the protection of true qi, there was no severe pain in the body.

But soon, a strange destructive force pierced through the protective aura, penetrated the skin, and entered the body.

In an instant, his entire body was pierced by a strange destructive force, and his whole body was covered with an intense burning sensation.

The internal organs, brain, and other parts of the body are far more vulnerable than the external environment.

In an instant, pain several times greater than that of the lake of divine blood spread throughout his body.

Zhou Leng's vision blurred, and he gritted his teeth.

If it weren't for the rigorous training at the Gates of Purgatory, it would surely be screaming in pain right now.

At this moment, many people were shouting loudly inside the crater.

"Help!"

"I give up!"

"Help... glug... glug..."

Some people were unable to speak and thrashed about like drowning people.

The dwarven masters jumped into the lava with smiles on their faces, rescuing the trial participants one by one from the lava surface and throwing them out of the crater.

The worst one had lava poured into his mouth and esophagus, causing extensive burns. He lost consciousness and was then flung out of the crater, rolling and bouncing down the mountain like a boulder until he reached the foot of the mountain, where he was left with only one breath.

After rescuing a group of people, the dwarven masters jumped onto the crater and looked down.

As expected, at least four or five people succumbed to the impact of the divine blood magma and fell unconscious, slowly sinking into the depths.

Anyway, they're not Iron Dwarfs, so if they're gone, they're gone.

Zhou Leng slowly began to feel the intense burning sensation.

I underestimated the Divine Blood Magma.

If I hadn't used my inner energy to protect myself, my skin and flesh would definitely be burned to a crisp now.

A strange, invisible destructive force raged through the body.

Internal organs and even brain tissues are being slowly destroyed.

Zhou Leng was shocked; he hadn't expected the divine blood magma to be so ferocious.

Brain damage and muscle and bone damage are completely different concepts.

Just as it was about to use all its energy to protect itself, the star phoenix feathers in its spinal cord began to glow.

A powerful force permeated his entire body.

The destructive power of the Divine Blood Magma has changed.

The burning pain in my body did not lessen at all, but the damage to the internal tissues was much weaker.

Unexpectedly, the Star Phoenix Resurrection Technique possesses such a peculiar effect.

Zhou Leng thought for a moment, then tried to activate the Undying Star Body again.

Ten divine runes spun in his mind, and streaks of starlight currents appeared on his skin.

Then, a very faint silvery-white light covered the entire surface of the body.

The burning pain in the body is halved, and the internal tissues are no longer damaged.

"As expected of an indestructible celestial body gifted by Senior Tree..."

As mentioned before, the strange destructive power in the Divine Blood Magma is the power of the gods, and it can even ignore the protection of a Grandmaster. If a Grandmaster enters, his body will still be damaged.

Having adapted to the power of the divine blood magma, Zhou Leng withdrew his true qi protection and relied solely on his Undying Star Body to withstand the attack.

Without the protection of true energy, the intense heat caused a clear burning sensation on the skin once again.

This level of pain is about three times that of the previous Divine Blood Lake.

sizzle...

His entire body was scalded by divine blood magma.

At the same time, the body's self-healing ability came into play, barely managing to put up a tug-of-war with the damage the divine blood magma was causing to the skin.

Zhou Leng entered a state of inner energy, hovering amidst the surging divine blood magma.

Intense pain throbbed throughout his body, but he remained calm, resolute, and fearless.

Before long, a heat far more intense than that of the Divine Blood Lake surged into his body.

As the heat surged in, the divine blood elixir that had been swallowed earlier was activated.

With the help of the divine blood medicine, the body accelerates the absorption of the heat of the divine blood magma, constantly strengthening itself.

Zhou Leng simultaneously felt his body strengthen and burn, experiencing both pain and pleasure.

Time ticked by. On the surface of the divine blood magma, trial participants would occasionally rush out, shouting for help.

The dwarven masters rescued one severely burned trial participant after another.

An hour later, more than half of the trial participants left.

The most elite trial participants from each race continue to absorb the power of divine blood magma.

The giant furnace said, "It seems that the average results of this round of the Divine Blood Magma Trial will be better than those of the previous rounds."

"If we don't count Dark Wrath, the highest scores of the others should be similar to those before."

"A few years ago, the 'Splitter Rock' of the volcanic giant tortoise clan in the Demon Prison lasted for 11 hours, almost 12 hours. It should be going to the Great Battlefield, and it won't be long before it advances to the Grandmaster level."

"That giant insect knight is not weak either. Let's call it 'Insect Cry'. It has been running for more than 10 hours."

"Among giants and dragons, there are those who have nearly 12 hours."

"As expected, these outstanding individuals below the Grandmaster level will all enter the upcoming great battlefield."

"Unfortunately, we Iron Dwarves are slightly weaker in the Innate stage. We can only barely keep up when we reach the Grandmaster stage. I estimate that we won't get any benefits in the Great Battlefield."

"After all, that's a battlefield between dragons and giants. It's normal that we don't get much benefit. It's not bad to be able to get a little something."

The giant furnace sighed and said, "You all know about the war in the Tree People's world, right?"

The dwarven masters nodded slightly, their expressions solemn.

"Our masters from all races joined forces to target him, but as soon as he returned to the Tree People World, he caused the humanoid alliance to suffer repeated defeats."

"The Heavenly Calamity Envoy—no, the Heavenly Calamity God—is too powerful. I received word that he's going into the Great Battlefield to search for something important."

"That would be a disaster for everyone who wants to go in. Should we wait until next time?"

"Next time? If the Heavenly Calamity forces successfully defeat all forces, what next time is there? Why not let the children take the plunge and fight? Perhaps there is still a chance of victory."

"Don't be so discouraged, there is always a chance of victory."

"The Heavenly Calamity Envoy is accelerating its contact with the orcs."

The edge of the volcano suddenly fell silent.

An overwhelming fear filled the eyes of the several dwarven masters.

The giant furnace sighed softly and said, "I hope our dwarven world won't become a second tree-man world."

Inside the crater.

Some bodies were carried below by the undercurrent, while others floated on the surface of the lava.

About one meter below the surface of the magma, Zhou Leng's body greedily absorbed the heat of the divine blood magma.

With the help of the divine blood and miraculous medicine, this heat was absorbed into the body with extremely high efficiency.

As heat continues to flow in, the body gradually becomes stronger and more resistant to divine blood magma.

Zhou calmly sensed it.

At first, I didn't have any deep feelings.

After the heat accumulates to a certain level, the internal organs and body tissues benefit even more.

These amazing heats act evenly throughout the body.

During regular exercise, muscles, skin, and bones are more easily strengthened, but the improvement of internal tissues such as internal organs and blood is limited.

Now, with the injection of heat, the internal organs and other internal tissues are greatly enhanced.

Two hours later.

The dwarven masters looked at the number of trial participants.

"There are 129 left."

Three hours later.

"There are 79 left."

Five hours later.

"There are 47 left."

Six hours later, Zhao He emerged from the lava surface. Without calling for help, he climbed up the volcano wall and reached the crater.

He had exhausted his true energy, his skin was charred black, and he no longer resembled a human, but his expression was calm. After taking the pill, he sat down to meditate and circulate his energy.

Five minutes later, Aiden also climbed out of the crater.

He saw Zhao He come out first, chuckled, revealing white teeth on his dark face, and began to heal his injuries.

Beneath the divine blood magma.

Zhou Leng's body absorbed a large amount of heat, and he clearly felt the temperature of the surrounding divine blood magma decrease.

Thus, the immortal planet continued to operate, but its protective forces were withdrawn.

With his bare flesh, he withstood the divine blood and magma.

Without the protection of the immortal star and true energy, intense pain struck.

The skin cracks rapidly, and the body's self-healing ability cannot keep up with the extent of the damage.

Zhou Leng had no choice but to reactivate the protective forces of the immortal star.

After the body heals itself, the protective power is removed again, and the physical body withstands the divine blood magma.

Once the body is injured, use the undying star body for protection, and repeat this process...

And so, over and over again, without realizing it, my body improved significantly.

The internal heat forms a surging torrent that continuously circulates within the body.

Once again, the power of the immortal planet was withdrawn, and the skin was exposed to the divine blood magma.

The skin is slightly damaged, but no longer cracking.

Its own healing abilities are already capable of counteracting this level of damage.

He successfully withstood the divine blood magma with his physical body.

At the same time, ten times more heat than before enters the body through the skin.

The amount of heat entering has far exceeded the amount absorbed by Zhou Leng.

More and more heat accumulates in the body, continuously accumulating.

Gradually, I felt that I wasn't absorbing enough power, so I slowly descended.

The deeper you go, the stronger the power of the divine blood magma becomes.

One hundred meters.

Three hundred meters.

Five hundred meters.

One thousand meters...
