Pill God Returns

In the dark, Wu Chen secretly looked at this old man. Judging from the powerful energy waves emitted from this man's body, this man was definitely an expert at Legendary Stage.    

Legendary Stage, this was an extremely famous expert in the Sky Martial Continent. Even in places like Beichen House and Taiyi Sect, he was considered a supreme elder. He had a very terrifying strength. Given Wu Chen's current strength... If he encountered such a terrifying existence, there was absolutely no hope for him. Because the opponent only needed a gentle breath to kill him.    

As a result, Wu Chen became even more cautious. He held his breath, afraid that he would be discovered by this old man. If that was the case, he wouldn't be able to kill ten of them.    

"What is this old man doing? Could it be that he wants to refine this Nether Lotus?"    

The flame of the Nether Lotus was definitely a good thing. Even he was tempted by it. Naturally, there would be many people who would covet it. They would want to refine it and seize its power, using it to break through and increase their strength.    

At this moment, Black-Robed Elder placed both of his hands on top of the Sealing Stone. A powerful force was injected into the Sealing Stone. It caused the Sealing Stone to tremble violently, and a bright light burst out from it. These rays of light were incomparably dazzling and brilliant.    

"Nether Lotus, I can't wait any longer. I'm going to refine you now."    

Black-Robed Elder roared wildly and urged the Sealing Stone. A terrifying force was channeled into the formation, enveloping the Nether Lotus and attempting to forcefully refine it.    

Now, the news of the Sealing Stone had already been leaked out. The people of the various major powers had also arrived in Ghost Blood Ridge. They had already conducted a thorough search of the Ghost Blood Ridge. Although they hadn't found the Sealing Stone yet, it was hard to guarantee that they wouldn't find it in the future. Furthermore, the volcano above Ghost Blood Ridge had already erupted. They could reach this place by following the volcanic crater. Therefore, the secret of this place would be exposed sooner or later. At that time, not only would the Sealing Stone be discovered, even the Nether Lotus would be discovered as well. Then, all of his efforts would be in vain.    

Hence, he no longer wanted to wait any longer. Taking advantage of the fact that the people from the various major powers had yet to find this place, he wanted to completely refine the Nether Lotus and obtain a powerful cultivation base and strength. This was the foundation.    

"What is the identity of this old man? He seems to be very familiar with the Sealing Stone. Could he be from the Sky Profound Holy Land?"    

Secretly, Wu Chen had seen all of this, and he was secretly shocked in his heart. To others, this Sealing Stone was extremely unfamiliar. It was the first time that a disciple from another sect like them had heard of it. How could they know how to use it? But what about this Black-Robed Elder? He was extremely familiar with how to use the Sealing Stone. He knew how to construct the formation like the back of his hand. From this, one could infer that... This man was most likely someone from the Sky Profound Holy Land.    

Boom!    

Sensing the threat, the Nether Lotus trembled violently. Waves of powerful flames burst out from it, resisting Black-Robed Elder's strength and pushing it away.    

Seeing this, Black-Robed Elder flew into a rage and shouted, "I still don't believe this evil thing. Today, I have to refine you!"    

Black-Robed Elder unleashed all the energy in his body and injected it into the formation. The super powerful energy kept surging and rushing out, covering the Nether Lotus, trying to refine it by force.    

The Nether Lotus trembled even more violently, sending out waves of dazzling white flames. The flames kept erupting, causing the temperature of the surrounding space to rise rapidly. This was originally a world with terrifying temperatures, but now that it was stimulated by the power of the Nether Lotus's flames... Hiding in such a place... To Wu Chen, this was a huge test.    

"It's so hot."    

In this hell-like environment, even Wu Chen, who was cultivating a fire attribute cultivation technique, felt that the heat was unbearable. That terrifying high temperature was simply about to melt him.    

However, he didn't dare to make any sound or make any noise. Once he made any noise, what awaited him would be death.    

At this moment, Black-Robed Elder was dealing with the Nether Lotus with all his strength. How could he have the time to care about anything else? However, he heard a loud shout. Both of his hands were continuously injecting energy into the Sealing Stone. He was using the power of the Sealing Stone to forcefully refine the Nether Lotus. He didn't want to refine the Nether Lotus. He would never let this matter rest.    

The Nether Lotus was also continuously shooting out rays of light. Clumps of flames crazily shot out, trying their best to resist Black-Robed Elder. No matter what, they were unwilling to let the Nether Lotus refine it.    

Huge amounts of energy were rapidly accumulating and vibrating, causing the entire formation to shake violently. Terrifying energy was surging crazily.    

"Bang!"    

When the energy had gathered to a certain extent, it could no longer hold on and an intense explosion occurred.    

Instantly, the entire space trembled and shook unceasingly. It simply could not stop at all.    

Outside, Xia Youlan and Shun Yan were anxiously waiting. Wu Chen had been gone for so long, but there was still no movement from him. This made them very worried.    

"Junior sister, he has been gone for so long. Why hasn't he come out yet? Could something have happened?"    

Shun Yan also frowned. Wu Chen had saved her life many times. To her, Wu Chen was her saviour. She didn't want to see anything wrong with him.    

After thinking for a while, she finally made a decision. She would go into the magma and see if he had encountered any danger.    

Boom!    

Just as she thought of this, a violent tremor suddenly came from the lava below. The entire layer of lava was violently surging and shaking non-stop.    

"What's going on? Is it going to erupt again?"    

Xia Youlan and Shun Yan stared at the magma layer and felt the intense vibration. Their expressions changed. Once the magma erupted... Even they... They felt their hearts palpitating.    

Looking at all of this, they became even more worried. If something bad happened to Wu Chen, it would be very difficult for them to explain it to the elders.    

"Shun Yan, Xia Youlan, you are indeed here."    

Suddenly, a voice came from above. The two girls were startled. They raised their heads and saw that it was Mu Qing, Elder Huang Yue and the others.    

"Elder, why are you here?"    

Elder Mu Qing said, "I should be the one asking you this question. How did you come to the bottom of the volcano? Do you know how dangerous this place is?"    

The two girls lowered their heads without saying a word.
