Chapter 1929 - 1928: Homeward Journey

Chapter 1929: Chapter 1928: Homeward Journey

Right before First Line Pass, they set up a grand formation. A storm is brewing, and the eruption of the Molten Lava Volcano continues incessantly. This time, it’s not just the main peak that’s erupting; hundreds or even thousands of smaller volcanoes across the Molten Lava Land are also erupting one after another.

Molten Rock Hell, at this moment, truly lives up to its name.

Inside the Molten Lava Volcano, Li Feng and the others are trembling in the mountain’s body, while Ouyang Qiuhai directly cursed Emperor Yue’s entire family.

Due to Emperor Yue’s reckless destruction, when Li Feng and the others charged out of the subterranean tunnels and entered the Demon Spider Cave, the entire volcano was trembling, and it could erupt at any moment.

"There’s no time left."

Standing inside the Demon Spider Cave, watching the ground shake and the entire volcano violently tremble, "Keep moving forward. Emperor Yue and the others surely won’t leave us an escape route, especially since the tunnel we came through is easier to destroy."

"What should we do? The magma below is almost up."

If you look down from beside the subterranean tunnel, you can see the surging magma rising quickly and could spew up in minutes.

Li Feng glanced at the cave wall beside him, "Dig a tunnel here to escape. There’s definitely no way up, and the volcano erupts from bottom to top. The whole cave is essentially formed by the cooled volcanic lava."

"So the position where we’re standing is precisely on the volcano’s eruption path. We don’t have time to escape from here alive, because even if we reach the surface, it doesn’t mean we’re safe."

"But if we tunnel horizontally to avoid the volcano’s eruption path, even if we can’t pierce through the volcano, it’ll be safer than here."

Li Feng said.

The volcano’s sides are like cannon barrels, absolutely able to withstand the power of a volcanic eruption. Otherwise, if the volcano erupted and the sides exploded, it wouldn’t form a volcano.

"Hmm, Li Feng makes sense. We definitely can’t return the way we came, not to mention whether we have time or not, the Demon Clan won’t let us escape easily."

"Let’s do what you said."

Sikong Yu looked at Li Feng, supporting him, and the trusted aides had no opinions, all following Li Feng’s lead.

Ouyang Qiuhai raised his eyes to Li Feng, "Digging a hole sounds easy. How deep can we dig in such a short time?"

"Alright, Qiuhai, this is the only way now."

Sikong Yu said.

"Ah, leave it to me then."

Li Feng ignored Ouyang Qiuhai, as digging a hole in a volcano is naturally not easy, but not impossible either; time is tight, and they don’t have much left.

Li Feng didn’t hold back any further; the power of a volcanic eruption is comparable to a nuclear attack, standing inside the volcano’s mouth wouldn’t be safe even if his Dantian contained a Vermilion Bird egg.

And Sikong Yu and others would surely be doomed.

Vermilion Bird True Body.

Li Feng directly activated the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, borrowing the Vermilion Bird’s power, Li Feng rapidly absorbed the overflowing flame energy. At this moment, the volcano is not lacking in raging flame energy.

After gathering for a moment, Li Feng shone like the sun. The next second, he stamped the ground, and like an arrow leaving the string, he sprinted towards the cave wall.

Li Feng shot through the cave wall like a brilliant light beam, and the intense Fire Element Energy melted the wall in front of him. After one move, Li Feng pierced the volcanic wall for hundreds of meters.

Once Li Feng turned back, "Get in first, I’ll block the back, then continue forward. In short, the farther outside we go, the safer."

Sikong Yu and the others quickly squeezed into the tunnel Li Feng created. This tunnel is only about two meters wide, just enough for one person to pass through. Lei Ba needs to turn sideways, but at this moment, no one cares about that, and moreover, a smaller tunnel is safer.

Li Feng stayed at the rear and sealed the entrance, to prevent the magma from finding this gap when it erupts; that would be disastrous.

Just as Li Feng finished filling the entrance, the Molten Lava Volcano couldn’t hold back and erupted directly. After being dormant for countless years, it exploded with formidable energy, and a column of fire shot up to the heavens, while magma overflowed from the volcano’s mouth and flowed down.

Countless fragments turned into meteors that scattered in all directions, and the sky rained gray snow, as if the apocalypse had descended upon the world.

Some slow lava spirit beasts were engulfed, incapable of surviving even though they live in magma.

Emperor Yue hovered around the Molten Lava Volcano, watching its eruption, while Feng Feifei and the others on his back stared at the volcano direction.

A quarter of an hour passed, during which Emperor Yue and the other demons circled the area without spotting Li Feng’s group escaping.

"Heh, they really didn’t escape; it’s like heaven has eyes."

Feng Feifei’s lips curled with joy. Although she didn’t personally kill them, as long as that bastard is dead, Feng Feifei is pleased.

Xiang Heng looked at the erupting volcano, "With such an eruption, unless it’s the Vermilion Bird itself, there’s no way to survive, right?"

Emperor Yue’s dragon eyes swept over, agreeing. If the opposing force could escape, they would truly be a troubling threat.

But, presumably, they shouldn’t have escaped.

After all, the volcano has been erupting for half a day, and if they were still inside, how could they survive? Even Emperor Yue’s father would certainly suffer if facing this earth’s wrath, leaving only the Vermilion Bird with some immunity due to its flame body.

However, the Vermilion Bird hadn’t completed its rebirth through flames but had instead merged with Li Feng’s flesh body, gaining some protective abilities at the cost of its rebirth chances reaching near zero.

At least, with this once-in-a-lifetime demise of Ancestor Dragon City, the Vermilion Bird is no longer an obstacle.

This mission’s major goal has thus been accomplished.

Emperor Yue didn’t linger any longer; he changed direction and flew towards the Demon Country, for the new round of war was about to begin.

Time passed unknowingly.

Trapped within the narrow tunnel in the cave wall, fortunately, everyone was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, able to hibernate, not worrying about suffocating from a lack of air.

Li Feng felt the volcano seemingly stabilize, likely finishing one wave of eruption, "Looks like we’ve survived this wave, now let’s take turns to reopen the tunnel."

Secluded here, though everyone could hibernate, using Fire Element Energy would instantly create a vacuum in this tunnel, and that result would be disastrous.

Next, they could only use fists or weapons to dig, though slower than Li Feng piercing through hundreds of meters at once, it’s still fairly quick.

But this Molten Lava Volcano was far too large, soaring over hundreds of kilometers high, and the surrounding cave walls were at least several kilometers thick.

As they kept digging, lost in time, with a lazy pierce ahead, the way was opened, and air rushed through the gap.

"Broken through."

Breathing in the air, everyone felt a sense of survival after catastrophe. After piercing through the mountain wall before them, they looked outside, and in the night, the sky was covered in volcanic ash; streams of magma twisted like dragons, eventually merging into immense magma lakes in the valleys.

Almost the entire ground was impassable, and in the distance, small volcanoes sporadically erupted, painting a hellish end-of-days scene.

"Horrifying."

"But we’re still alive, aren’t we."
