Starting with being handed over to the Imperial Concubine, building a family with a thousand-year hi

These monsters have no sense of pain or fear. With the blessing of the black mist's essence, their wounds heal at an extremely terrifying speed, making them arguably the most troublesome enemies.

Su Mu moved swiftly, unleashing the ultimate Thunder Flash Movement Technique. His figure left afterimages in the black mist, relentlessly pursuing the talisman in front of him. Even without releasing a trace of his Purple-Gold Divine Flame, the low-level demon races surrounding him were still unable to get within a hundred feet of him.

Lai Chunshan kept his promise and was to lead Elder Songhe and his group into the Martial God's Tomb. He directly activated his own innate divine fire, spreading his powerful energy to form an energy barrier that protected everyone under his command, and led the team forward steadily.

Xing Yan remained unassuming, revealing no trace of his Martial Emperor cultivation throughout, quietly following at the back of the group. The two had already made an agreement: before reaching the core of the Martial Mystic Realm, Xing Yan must conceal his identity and remain impassive, leaving all the offensive to Lai Chunshan.

The two level-nine demonic beasts were extremely composed.

Fire Phoenix Crimson Feather's phoenix divine fire emanated slightly from its body, instantly incinerating any approaching demonic creatures that touched it. Sea Turtle Dai Jian's body was surrounded by flowing water mist, and his water-based domain spread out, directly freezing all the demonic creatures that attacked from the way.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn passes in the blink of an eye.

After traversing thousands of miles of black misty sea, the four divine talismans ahead finally stopped their eastward journey and slowly descended, landing on an archipelago.

This is the famous Black Stone Islands in the East China Sea, consisting of eight islands arranged in a row. The islands are covered with hard black stones, making it difficult for any grass to grow and resulting in extremely sparse vegetation.

Long before the Black Mist of the Ghost Clan expanded to this area, this archipelago was shrouded in fog year-round, teeming with sea monsters and extremely dangerous. Few cultivators were willing to set foot here on ordinary days.

In the center of the archipelago, a solitary black rock peak, over three hundred feet high, rises abruptly from the ground, with a straight, smooth, giant cliff on one side.

The four divine talismans struck the cliff face directly, flashed with light, and then vanished without a trace.

The next second, the space in the center of the cliff twisted, and a huge, dark spatial vortex slowly took shape, with the ancient and desolate aura of a graveyard gushing out from the vortex.

Without a doubt, this black vortex is the only entrance to the ancient Martial God's slumbering place.

Fire Phoenix Chiyu and Sea Turtle Daijian are brave by nature and show no fear. With a swift movement, they rushed straight into the black vortex, one after the other.

Lai Chunshan, along with Xing Yan and a group of powerful figures from the Wulong Continent, followed closely behind the demonic beast and stepped into the entrance of the secret realm.

Behind them, a large number of crazed monsters, equally unafraid of the pressure of the secret realm, rushed into the vortex one after another, wanting to share the opportunities of the secret realm.

Before Su Mu stopped at the vortex, he had intended to use his clone talisman to send a clone inside to investigate the danger. However, he quickly dismissed the idea.

The spatial barrier of this martial arts secret realm is extremely special. Once a clone steps into it, it will instantly sever the connection between its soul and the main body, resulting in the waste of a precious clone talisman, which is not worth the loss.

In addition, the clone's combat power depends on the original body's condition. The stronger the original body is, the stronger the clone will be. The best time to use it is when he has consumed the Dragon Essence Pill and his combat power is at its peak.

After a moment's thought, Su Mu gripped the Anti-Air Talisman in his right hand and the Great Teleportation Token in his left, preparing both life-saving talismans. His body was enveloped in a slight surge of purple-gold divine fire. He then leaped into the dark vortex.

The next instant, a violent spinning sensation swept over his entire body.

Even though Su Mu's physical body had been perfected to the point of becoming a powerful and incomparable imperial body, he still couldn't stabilize his body, which was uncontrollably spinning wildly in the air.

Five breaths later, the spatial force that had been tearing his body completely dissipated. Su Mu landed on the ground, opened his eyes to see his surroundings, and his expression shifted slightly.

He was in a boundless, primordial sea of ​​fire.

This sea of ​​fire was not created by the magical powers of a demonic beast, but was a real, primordial fire that existed between heaven and earth.

"The Earth's Core Spirit Fire".

Su Mu immediately recognized the source of the flame and made a judgment in his heart.

In terms of the power of a single flame, the Kunling Divine Fire surpasses most ordinary divine fires in the world, but is weaker than the Phoenix Divine Fire of the Fire Phoenix Crimson Feather, and also inferior to the Purple-Gold Divine Fire that it has condensed itself. However, this sea of ​​fire is endless, and the source of the flames is vast and boundless. If all its power is concentrated and unleashed, its destructive power will still be terrifying.

This place is extremely close to the Earth's core, and its environment is far more dangerous than the outside world.

Just then, a series of piercing screams reached my ears.

Su Mu looked in the direction of the sound and saw several figures struggling frantically in the sea of ​​fire, their clothes and bodies completely ignited by the divine fire.

The visitors were Elder Songhe and his entourage.

Martial Emperor level experts and level nine demonic beasts possess formidable physiques, enough to withstand the scorching heat of the Earth Core Kunling Divine Fire, but Martial Emperor level cultivators are utterly unable to resist the power of this primordial fire.

Lai Chunshan had only promised to take everyone into the secret realm, but never promised to protect their safety throughout the entire process.

Elder Songhe and his group knew that this journey was fraught with peril, yet they still insisted on coming. They had already been crushed by Su Mu in the outside world, and now they faced the ever-expanding black mist of the Ghost Clan; their future seemed hopeless. This martial arts secret realm was their only chance to turn the tide and survive.

Rather than waiting to perish on the sidelines, it's better to enter the fray and fight to the death.

The mournful wails lasted for a moment before completely subsiding. Elder Songhe, Yan Qibing, and their group were all burned to ashes by the Kunling Divine Fire.

Lai Chunshan and Xing Yan beside him clearly sensed that the dissipated life essence of this group of people was all converging towards the same direction in the center of the sea of ​​fire.

Su Mu's attention remained focused entirely on Xing Yan, who remained impassive.

As fellow Martial Emperor cultivators, it was reasonable for Lai Chunshan to protect his companions, but Xing Yan, despite being in the sea of ​​fire without any divine fire barrier around him, was not burned by the Kunling Divine Fire at all, and his expression remained calm and undisturbed from beginning to end.

This strange Martial Emperor who suddenly appeared was eerie in every way.

Before Su Mu could ponder this further, the environment of the secret realm changed drastically once again.

Above the sea of ​​fire and the sky, a thick, boundless blue water curtain suddenly formed, with pure and domineering water elemental power enveloping the entire space, and terrifying domain pressure pressing down vertically.

Above is the vast expanse of water and sky, below is a boundless ocean of divine fire.

The two ultimate sources of water and fire collided and squeezed each other, like two giant millstones, suppressing all the powerful individuals who had entered the secret realm.

"The power of this body of water is actually directly connected to the source of the entire East China Sea."

"Water is drawn from the sky, fire is ignited from the ground, and the double-kill formation is naturally formed."

"The schemes devised by this ancient war god before his death were far more terrifying than we had imagined."

Su Mu looked up at the water curtain above his head, and was secretly shocked.

If this place is indeed the burial place of a martial god, then the martial god's cultivation and vision during his lifetime far surpassed those of ordinary experts of the same level.

The oppressive feeling from the dual realms of water and fire continued to rise, and the pressure on everyone was increasing.

While the two demonic beasts and Su Mu observed the situation, Lai Chunshan and Xing Yan took the lead and set off. The two locked onto the location where life essence was converging and sped side by side towards the center of the sea of ​​fire.

Seeing this, Su Mu, Fire Phoenix Chi Yu, and Sea Turtle Dai Jian followed closely behind the two and moved forward together.

A moment later, a black platform standing in the middle of the water and fire came into everyone's view.

The lower half of the platform is buried deep within the sea of ​​fire at the earth's core, while the upper half penetrates the sea of ​​fire and is completely enveloped by a thick blue curtain of water above.

Amidst the vast expanse of water and fire, only this black platform stands alone, its surroundings empty, devoid of any burial objects or hidden treasures.

The towering platform stands majestically, a thousand feet high, with a base exceeding three hundred feet in both length and width, resembling a black divine mountain standing amidst water and fire, solemn and ancient.

Everyone instantly understood that this high platform was the final resting place of that ancient martial god.

The group of monsters who had previously ventured into the secret realm had long since vanished without a trace.

The Earth Core Kunling Divine Fire is extremely destructive, and low-level monsters simply cannot withstand its scorching heat. Furthermore, since this place has completely broken away from the Black Mist Domain and lost the blessing of the Black Mist's origin, all monsters that ventured into this place were completely wiped out by the power of water and fire.

Lai Chunshan and Xing Yan were the fastest, arriving at the foot of the platform in the first instance.

Desiring to seize the initiative and capture the core opportunity on the high platform, the two did not hesitate at all and plunged straight towards the top of the platform.

Just as the two stepped into the hundred-zhang range at the top of the platform, an invisible and powerful sealing force suddenly erupted, directly blasting the two mid-stage Martial Emperor realm experts away. Their blood surged and they retreated repeatedly.

The high platform is sealed by a martial god, and no external force can forcefully ascend it.

Fire Phoenix Crimson Feather's eyes turned cold as she turned to look at Lai Chunshan and the other man, suggesting, "The high platform's seal is difficult to break. Why don't we put aside our differences for now and settle our old grudges?"

Upon hearing this, everyone understood perfectly.

The two level-nine demonic beasts and the two Martial Emperors of Wulong Continent had no prior grudges, but before entering the secret realm, everyone had already made an agreement that after entering the tomb, they would each rely on their own opportunities to settle all external grudges at the same time.

Lai Chunshan immediately nodded in agreement, then turned his gaze and coldly fell on Su Mu.
