Swish!
Wang Chong took out a broken sword he had taken from the Righteous Alliance group and cast it forward.
The sword moved much faster than the stone shards, but the steel it was forged from corroded faster than the rocks. As soon as the sword entered the red smoke, it rapidly began to corrode and blacken.
The rest of the sword was melted down the moment it entered the flames.
Despite Wang Chong already having prepared himself, he couldn't help but stare.
The swords of the Righteous Alliance were not made from ordinary steel. Since this red miasma could so quickly corrode it, it had to be exceptionally formidable.
As for those fierce flames in the back… ordinary armor would probably instantly be melted down.
”The Immortal Lord left behind both this poisonous smoke and the flames. Both of them are extremely fierce, able to turn into slurry the most precious of weapons and the finest suits of armor.
”Since ancient times, no one has ever been able to get past these traps. If not for the seal left behind by the Immortal Lord, even we would be doomed if we ventured within, let alone outsiders. He can't possibly force his way past those traps!”
The leader looked down on Wang Chong, waiting for his final choice. Forward was death, and retreat was also death.
No matter what, those martial artists who ventured deep into the formation were doomed.
The two subordinates remained silent, and all three of them watched Wang Chong and waited for him to make his move.
Everything can finally come to an end! the two said to themselves.
A split-second later…
Clang!
After some thought, Wang Chong decided to press forward.
Before he entered the red smoke, Wang Chong equipped the Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor.
Buzz!
The three watched this transpire in shock.
”Hmph! I overestimated him! Even the best armor has a chink that will allow the smoke and fire to get in. This kid is finished!”
The two subordinates shook their heads. They thought that Wang Chong might test the waters a few more times or that he would retreat in the face of difficulty, but this result was not at all what they had expected.
Within this region, Wang Chong's chances of survival were nil.
As they watched him take his first few steps into the smoke, they patiently waited for him to fall over.
”Stone of Destiny, seal the armor!”
Wang Chong was focused and cared little about what might be happening outside. As he stepped into the core region, he had all the chinks of his armor sealed, turning the Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor into an isolated space that kept everything out.
The miasma hissed as it assailed the Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor, but all its corrosive power was kept on the outside.
The smoke was so thick that he could see nothing.
Wang Chong spread out his Psychic Energy and advanced.
I only have five minutes left. I have to hurry, Wang Chong quietly said to himself.
Although he seemed to have easily kept out the corrosive poison, Wang Chong was extremely grave at this time. The Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor was powerful, but it consumed massive amounts of Stellar Energy. Wang Chong was incapable of maintaining this state for very long.
Swoosh!
Wang Chong picked up the pace, and he soon passed through the poisonous smoke and entered the seething flames.
Just before entering, Wang Chong noticed several large crystal pillars arranged in an orderly fashion at the intersection of these two zones. Wang Chong once more saw the same black fang symbols that had been carved on the Doomsday Altar on these crystal pillars.
There are more and more of these symbols! Wang Chong said to himself. Everything gave him an indescribably bizarre feeling.
The Origin Immortal Formation was still the Origin Immortal Formation, but it was now bursting with mystery and secrets.
Clap!
An armor-covered sole stepped into the flames, and Wang Chong was soon deep into the sea of fire.
An indescribable heat traveled up his foot, and every part of his body soon felt scalding hot. Not even the Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor could completely keep out the heat.
Wang Chong felt like his entire body was on fire, and even his breath scorched him.
With advantages come disadvantages! The Heavenly Mandate Battle Armor is sealed, but this means I can only breathe the air inside the armor. This air won't last for very long. I have to get through here quickly!
Rumble! Wang Chong immediately rushed toward that giant golden sphere, each of his steps causing the earth to quake.
”Impossible!”
The three figures hidden in the core trembled all over as they watched Wang Chong ceaselessly proceed toward the sphere, their eyes almost bulging out.
