Chapter 841: The Bridge of Fire and Poison...
The group passed through the back door of the main hall and arrived at the iron chain bridge connecting to the second floating peak.
If the abyss beneath the first bridge is a deathly, chaotic void, then this place is a boiling, purgatory.
"Glug... Glug..."
Beneath the iron chain bridge, there was no longer nothingness, but churning dark red lava.
The magma was not ordinary fire; it had an eerie purplish-red color.
Every now and then, huge pillars of flame would erupt up without warning, shooting straight into the sky, turning the iron chains red-hot and emitting a sizzling sound.
The heat wave hit us, and even the air itself seemed to be scorched and distorted.
"This...this is too dangerous!" Wang Shouyi swallowed hard, staring at the red-hot iron chain. "If someone falls down like that, they'll be turned to ashes instantly!"
"It's more than just falling down."
Zhang Yibai's expression was solemn. "This earth fire contains extremely strong fire poison. If even a tiny bit of it gets on you, it might burn through your nascent soul."
"Hmph, you're making a fuss over nothing."
"Isn't it the fire of the earth's core? Mortals are cowards." 꺱府星 urged impatiently from behind, "
He was seething with anger inside.
Having just lost face at the bronze statue and gained nothing in the main hall, seeing these mortals dawdling around only fueled my anger.
In order to save face for the immortals and to intimidate Chen Huai'an and the others, Ji Fuxing sneered and strode forward.
"Get out of my way! Let me teach you what the Immortal Realm is all about!"
He pushed Gu Changsheng aside, walked to the edge of the cliff, and with a hint of disdain, stretched out a finger, reaching into the void beside the bridge.
In his opinion, this level of fire was also frightening to look at.
Even with his superhuman, immortal body forged through countless trials, taking a bath inside would be nothing more than a lukewarm soak.
“Immortal, this magma doesn’t look right, I’m afraid…” Chen Huai’an coughed lightly, deliberately provoking him.
"Shut up! I don't need your help in my actions..."
꺱府星놅 hadn't finished speaking.
Boom!!!
The previously calmly flowing purplish-red magma below suddenly erupted.
A stream of extremely thin flame, about the thickness of a finger, like a venomous snake lurking in wait, suddenly darted out of the abyss and precisely licked the outstretched arm of the star.
Just for a moment.
There wasn't even a combustion process.
"Aaaaaahh ...
A bloodcurdling scream instantly ripped through everyone's eardrums.
As if electrocuted, 꺱府星 staggered backward, fell to the ground, and rolled around in pain.
Everyone looked on in horror and saw that the left arm that had been stretched out by the star had now disappeared!
Melt directly!
Like a candle meeting a raging fire, the entire arm, bone and flesh together, instantly turned into a pool of foul-smelling, golden-yellow pus, dripping onto the white jade floor with a sizzling, corrosive sound.
Moreover, the wound had not healed; instead, a purplish-red fire poison was frantically drilling into his body along his meridians.
The immortal was in so much pain that he rolled around on the ground, tears streaming down his face.
Where is even a trace of the divine majesty of an immortal?
"What...what kind of fire is this?!"
Bi Yuewu was shocked and quickly took out a handful of elixirs and stuffed them into the mouth of the star. He then used several spells to barely suppress the spread of the fire poison.
However, the arm of the True Spirit of the Star Palace was clearly completely useless.
The atmosphere fell silent amidst the constant panting of the star.
Seeing this, Zhang Yibai and the others broke out in a cold sweat.
Even the true spirit of an immortal couldn't withstand it and melted instantly. If these mortal beings were to go up there, they probably wouldn't even be left with ashes!
This is not a suspension bridge at all.
This is clearly the Bridge of Helplessness leading to the underworld!
"What are you standing there for?!"
While healing Ji Fuxing, Bi Yuewu raised his head and glared fiercely at Chen Huai'an and the others. "Hurry up! If you delay the time, I'll throw you all down to fill the pit!"
At this moment, he had completely torn off his mask of hypocrisy.
Fear spread through everyone's hearts.
Wang Shouyi's legs went weak, Gu Changsheng's face turned pale, and even Zhang Yibai gripped his sword hilt tightly, hesitating to take a step.
At this moment.
A figure stepped out from the crowd.
Chen Huai'an.
His expression remained calm, as if the scene of the melting of the star and the arm had never happened.
He walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down at the bottomless, churning lava, and then at the red-hot iron chains.
To outsiders, this was a death trap.
But in his eyes, those gushing pillars of fire seemed to follow some predetermined path, like... the breath of heaven and earth.
“Brother Chen…” Zhang Yibai tried to stop him.
Chen Huai'an waved his hand, his blue robe fluttering in the heat.
He lifted his foot and stepped onto the bright red iron chain.
Sizzle—!
He smelled the burning smell of his shoes, but he didn't even flinch.
Carrying his two arms on his back, he strolled leisurely, facing the raging poisonous flames, and walked step by step toward the other side.
