The duo embarked on this path. The stones lit up after the initial contact with their feet. After a buzzing noise, the two were teleported away.

　　“Boom!” Their next stop was the mouth of a ma.s.sive volcano.

　　“Boom!” Frightening lava oozed out, and not just any regular lava. This resembled the flame of a dragon. It burned the world and left scarrings on s.p.a.ce itself.

　　Nevertheless, numerous stone steps were still floating on it, completely unharmed by the scorching lava.

　　Suddenly, waves of lava directly spouted towards the two and instantly drowned them. Alas, the power lava also failed to harm them due to their bright barriers.

　　They started walking on the steps above the volcano while being continuously a.s.saulted by lava waves. Just like before, their invincible auras suppressed and nullified the heat.

　　“Buzz.” Next, the steps lit up again and teleported them away.

　　“Whoos.h.!.+” When they came out on the other side, they were greeted by many tiny things darting through the air.

　　The path ladened with floating stones still existed. However, below them was an abyss with unknown creatures shooting out a storm of needles.

　　Upon closer inspection, these needles were actually poisonous quills growing on the creatures. The cliffs nearby started to corrode after being hit by the quills. A person would turn into smoke in the blink of an eye.

　　They looked down and saw numerous pairs of green eyes in the darkness. These eyes had a nether glow and were truly creepy.

　　“Clank! Clank! Clank!” The quills couldn’t hit them before being stopped by their powerful barriers. Sparks went everywhere while they remained unharmed.

　　The two landed on the right step and disappeared from sight once more via teleportation.

　　“Buzz.” They made it deeper and found a terrible heatwave coming from below, almost like the mythical Mountain of Flames. [1]

　　To the bottom was an endless desert as hot as the inside of a cauldron. The temperature rising up felt like an all-devouring flame.

　　Strangely enough, to the center was a conspicuous dazzling light, partly due to the reflection of the sun rays.

　　It turned out that an ore mine existed in the desert with large minerals showing on the surface. If the top already had this many ores, then one could easily imagine what hid at the bottom. This was enough to make people palpitate on sight.

　　However, upon closer inspection, one would also find many white bones protruding from the sands. Some belonged to beasts and still had remnant divinity.

　　There was no doubt that some travelers became greedy here and entered the desert, only to die.

　　At this moment, the sands suddenly rolled over like waves with increasing speed. There was a ma.s.sive monster swimming below, the real killer that took down these intruders.

　　Li Qiye and the emperor didn’t care since these ores weren’t enough to tempt them. They stepped on the path again for the next teleportation.
