The Eternal World

"Young man, do you want to make a deal with me?" The voice was filled with a vicissitudes of life.

"Trade? Who are you? hair bulb? " Zhang Chao was startled at first, but then immediately reacted.

"You can call me that too!" The voice continued, "I'm asking you, do you want to make a deal?"

"What exactly are you? "What kind of deal?" Zhang Chao asked quickly.

"What I am is not important, even if I told you, it would be useless. However, I have been staying in your body recently, absorbing the excess energy in your body. I am much better now!" The hair bulb continued: "But … As thanks, I can cure your injury now! "

"You can cure my injury?" Zhang Chao was even more shocked, as for the hair bulb saying something about absorbing his energy, he didn't feel anything, so he decided to not ask anymore.

"Yes, but... This is nothing. I'm asking you, are you willing to make a deal with me? " The hair bulb asked again.

"Then we still have to let me know what kind of deal it is? Furthermore... With my strength being so low, it's not worth for you to make a deal with me, right? " Zhang Chao said somewhat helplessly.

"No, you don't know your own worth now. You should know soon enough!" The hair bulb replied: "Now you only need to answer me, and whether you are willing to make this deal for me!"

Zhang Chao was speechless.

This hair bulb's question was too persistent. After half a day, it was still the same question.

"Willing, say it, what deal?"

"It's simple. I've helped you overcome your tribulation today. After ten years, you must reach the border. That's all!" The hair bulb growled.

"Border? Ten years later? " Zhang Chao was startled, what kind of deal was this?

"That's right. The border trial I'm talking about is at the end of all the Heavenly Regions, and also the most dangerous place in the entire Heavenly Regions. For billions of years, the flames of war have never been extinguished there!" The hair bulb confirmed once again: "And ten years later, you will have to reach there. Do you dare to go there?"

"What is there to fear? You've already said it, ten years from now!" Zhang Chao did not mind: "Is it okay if you go?"

"The rest, we'll talk about it when you get there!"

"Alright, I agree!" Zhang Chao didn't even need to ponder deeply to agree.

Ten years later, what a joke. Who knew what would happen ten years later?

It would be better to focus on the current situation and overcome this obstacle first.

"The oath shall take effect!" Following the hair bulb's words, Zhang Chao suddenly felt an itch on her forehead, and she suddenly sat up.

"Eh? "My injuries …" He was extremely astonished, but he discovered that his injuries had already completely healed.

"Of course it's alright, I've always kept my word when I spoke!" hair bulb tilted her head and said.

It was really hard to imagine that the old man's words came from its mouth.

"Eh? "What is this?" Zhang Chao took out a copper mirror to look at himself, but discovered that on his forehead, there was an additional dark red imprint, like a peach flower petal. However, he lifted his hand and touched it, and it disappeared.

"This is the mark of the oath, it proves that the trade between us has taken effect, everything must be done according to the oath, if I let you die in this Eternal Melting Furnace today, if I break the oath, I will suffer the backlash of the oath, both in body and spirit will be destroyed, and if ten years later, I cannot see you at the border, your fate will be the same!" The hair bulb explained.

"..." Zhang Chao was speechless again.

Alright, he had thought that he could get away with it, but to think that the other party would possess such means. Now, it was impossible for him to go back on his words.

"Then how are you going to help me?" Zhang Chao was very interested in this question. Suddenly, he saw a corner of Yuan Zongyi's blood-stained clothes and immediately said: "Oh right, my big senior brother is …."

"Don't worry, he's not an ordinary person. He won't die so easily!" As the hair bulb spoke, it turned around and opened its mouth towards the sky, and then spat out a large bubble.

Inside the bubble, Yuan Zongyi's figure gradually revealed himself.

The current Yuan Zongyi looked to be in a very sorry state. He had his eyes closed, as if he had already fainted, but the rise and fall of his chest proved that his life was still there.

The bubbles shattered as Yuan Zongyi's body fell onto the giant boulder.

"Eldest Brother!" Zhang Chao immediately ran over and placed his hand on Yuan Zongyi's pulse. Realizing that nothing was amiss, he heaved a sigh of relief.

"He's fine. He has the power of law protecting his body, and although this lava is sinister, it can't harm him. I'm afraid it's because of those two beasts just now that he's been shaken so he won't wake up for the time being!" The hair bulb said from the side, "Furthermore, do not let him know of my existence!"

"Well, why?" Zhang Chao did not understand.

"I let a lot of people see me while I was still in a daze, but they didn't recognize me. However, this senior brother of yours is different, he should know who I am, and he will also attract a lot of unnecessary panic, causing a lot of trouble!" The hair bulb shook its head: "I know why he brought you here."

"However, with those two brutes under the magma, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for you to achieve your goal!"

"Now, I'll put them away for you!"

The hair bulb said, then once again opened its mouth and let out a series of ear-piercing sounds.

Soon after, the lava started to churn, and soon after, the two Lava Beasts flew out like two gigantic fireballs.

"Hmph, these two animals still dare to be so arrogant in front of me?" Although the hair bulb said those harsh words, they did not match its furry, naturally silly appearance.

"Roar!" When the two Lava Beasts saw the hair bulb, they were stunned in the air. Then, as if they had seen a ghost, they let out waves of screams and struggled to return into the lava.

"Want to run?" "Too late!" The hair bulb sucked with force, causing the two Lava Beasts to rapidly shrink and then be completely swallowed into its stomach!

"Burp!" The hair bulb burped, then used its little claws to pat its belly and said to Zhang Chao: "Alright, it's settled. Right now, there's no longer any danger for you guys here, remember, don't tell him anything about me. In ten years, we'll wait for you at the border!"

With that, the hair bulb's body shook, and the space in front of it immediately cracked open. It then slowly walked in, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

"..." Zhang Chao stood there in a daze for a long time.

This … Isn't it too abnormal?

What kind of background did the hair bulb have?

He had personally experienced how powerful the Lava Beast was, but it could not even put up a fight in front of the hair bulb.

That was a baleful beast!

Each of them had the strength of a sage realm cultivator!

How badly he and Yuan Zongyi had been tricked by these two!

He was becoming more and more curious about the hair bulb.

However, he subconsciously touched between his brows and resisted his curiosity.

The seal of the oath, since the hair bulb are so powerful, he wouldn't dare to test it out on himself.

After who knows how long, Yuan Zongyi slowly woke up.

"Eldest senior brother, you're awake?" How about it? Are you alright? " Zhang Chao hurriedly asked with concern.

"Yeah, it's just that my head feels a little heavy!" Yuan Zongyi sat up and rubbed his head.

"Phew, it's good that you're fine. You scared me to death!" Zhang Chao nodded his head, the tension in his mind had subsided.

"What happened? "I remember, I was pulled into the lava by those two beasts …" Yuan Zongyi looked at his body and realized that it was only some superficial wounds, and was not the least bit damaged. Only then did he stretch his muscles and bones, and asked Zhang Chao: "Are you alright? "I just remembered that you were also severely injured!"

"Uh, no problem, I'm fine. I've recovered after taking some pills!" Zhang Chao scratched his head.

"Phew, that's good. Be careful, we don't know when those two beasts will appear again. We can't be careless this time!" Yuan Zongyi reminded.

"Yeah, I'm mentally prepared this time as well!" Zhang Chao nodded, but he secretly thought, there's no more beasts here, they have long been eaten like snacks by the hair bulb …

After resting for a while, Yuan Zongyi continued to move forward with Zhang Chao.

After walking for another two hours inside the Eternal Melting Furnace, they didn't encounter any more dangers.

"Alright, we'll be there soon!" Yuan Zongyi suddenly spoke out: "Luckily we did not meet those two beasts along the way, and saved ourselves a lot of trouble!"

"Oh? In front? " Zhang Chao suddenly realised that there was a mountain wall in front.

At the bottom of the mountain, near the lava, there was a platform.

There was a bit of gray fog swirling around it, making it difficult to see what was on it.

"That gas is Chaotic Qi. It is said that when the world first opened, it was the first gas to form. It contains all of the original power, so it was violent and chaotic!" Yuan Zongyi explained. "The reason we came here, is to break through an area behind this primal chaos energy and take out the things inside!"

"Oh? What could there be here? " Zhang Chao raised his eyebrows.

While they were talking, the two of them landed on the platform.

"The two of you, have you taken the wrong path? Where did you guys come from? Go back to where you came from. This is not a place that you should be coming from! " In the chaos energy, a hoarse voice sounded.

"There really is someone here!" Yuan Zongyi's expression moved, and cupped his fists towards the chaotic energy as he said: "I wonder who is waiting here, War God Academy disciple … We're here to retrieve an item! "

"War God Academy?" The coarse voice seemed to be silent for a moment, then spoke again: "Since it's the people from the War God Academy, then please come in!"

Yuan Zongyi shot a glance at Zhang Chao, and then walked in with large strides.

Zhang Chao was at a loss, and followed behind him.

After walking forward for a hundred steps, they could vaguely see that within the chaos energy in front of them, there was a figure.

This figure was dressed in worn-out armor and was sitting on a big rock. However, he looked surprisingly young, even younger than Zhang Chao. He looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old.

However, an ancient aura was emanating from his body.

"I am the gatekeeper who has been guarding here the entire time. You can just call me Eriocheir!" The man gently coughed a few times. It seemed that his body was somewhat weak. Then, he slowly stood up, pointed behind him and said, "It has been a long time. I've finally waited for you to come here. Go …"
