Death Grip
In the Thunderfire Passage, although the thunder is powerful, the real threat lies below with the Magma. While the thunder also possesses significant damage potential, it pales in comparison to the destructive force of the Magma.
The Magma can almost incinerate everything; even if an Earth Grade Divine Weapon were thrown into it, it would likely be instantly turned into molten iron.
Thus, the true danger to everyone is this Magma. Of course, the thunder that strikes from above cannot be ignored either; its strength is such that even a strong individual from Yang Spirit Peak would likely lose half their life upon being struck.
The only fortunate aspect is that the thunder only strikes occasionally and is not very dense, making it relatively easy to avoid.
Upon entering the Thunderfire Passage, Xing Chen slightly opened his mouth and the Thunderfire Pearl flew out, instantly enveloping both Xing Chen and Zhao Yiming in a layer of purple-red light.
As soon as he stepped into the Thunderfire Passage, Xing Chen felt an incredibly scorching heat wave hit him, causing his face to flush red and beads of sweat to appear instantly.
Although the Thunderfire Pearl can resist both the Magma and the thunder falling from above, it cannot withstand this intense heat.
Just as Xing Chen was feeling uncomfortable, Zhao Yiming took out his Ice Soul Pearl, and immediately, the scorching sensation vanished. A cool breeze spread throughout, providing a sense of relief to Xing Chen.
However, it is true that the Thunderfire Passage is more powerful than the Ice and Fire Passage. When they were in the Ice and Fire Passage, after Zhao Yiming took out the Ice Soul Pearl, a layer of Thin Ice formed on the ground almost instantly.
In this Thunderfire Passage, although Xing Chen could feel a coolness, there were no signs of ice forming on the ground at all.
"You just need to withstand the splashes of Magma, nothing else matters," Zhao Yiming said lightly as he glanced at Xing Chen.
Xing Chen nodded slightly without saying much. At this moment, others also stepped into the Thunderfire Passage. Following behind Xing Chen and Zhao Yiming, Qiu Pengchi took out a Jade Talisman from his Storage Ring.
He then channeled Vital Energy into the Jade Talisman, causing a hazy light shield to rise up and envelop his figure. The others also employed various means, summoning their treasures to withstand the terrifying heat and the Thunderfire Power surrounding them.
The group cautiously walked through the narrow passage, which was only as wide as a palm.
Among them, the one suffering the most was Lu Yunhe. The boy he had brought along was meant to specifically counteract the surrounding heat, but that boy had already perished in the Yin Wind Passage. Although Lu Yunhe could resist the Thunderfire Power, he was unable to withstand the horrific heat around him.
At that moment, a sudden purple-red lightning bolt struck down, hitting the purple-red Magma. Instantly, Magma splashed everywhere, striking against everyone's defensive treasures.
Xing Chen was relatively fine; since the Thunderfire Pearl was itself a treasure of lightning and fire attributes, the splashed Magma was directly absorbed by the Thunderfire Pearl.
Qiu Pengchi, who followed behind, was also splashed by this Magma. However, the hazy light shield released by the Jade Talisman was incredibly strong, and the splashes of Thunderfire Magma did not cause any disturbance at all.
The others were luckier this time; the Thunderfire Magma did not splash onto them, allowing them to escape disaster.
"This Thunderfire Magma is indeed formidable, several levels stronger than that at Thunderfire Deity, but unfortunately, the Thunderfire Divine Ring still cannot absorb any power."
Xing Chen sighed inwardly. With the Thunderfire Divine Ring unable to absorb power, he could only wait for an opportunity to escape; otherwise, he would definitely be in danger of losing his life.
Due to the extreme dangers within the Thunderfire Passage, and with the passage being only as wide as a palm, their progress was not very fast—indeed, it could be described as quite slow. However, thanks to the protection of the Thunderfire Pearl and the Ice Soul Pearl, Xing Chen had not encountered much trouble. The others behind him were faring worse.
In particular, Lu Yunhe was already on the verge of sweating and fainting. He kept taking cold water from his Storage Ring to drink, but this cold water turned into scalding hot water almost immediately after being taken out.
Nevertheless, even though it had become hot water, Lu Yunhe could only grit his teeth and drink it down. He did not want to die from exhaustion due to sweating. Gradually, they had traversed one-third of the passage without anyone encountering any major issues so far.
The easiest among them were Xing Chen and Zhao Yiming. One of them was resisting the Thunderfire Magma, while the other was withstanding the terrifying high temperatures around them.
The others were not so lucky; some could not withstand the high temperatures, while others struggled against the terrifying Thunderfire Magma.
Among them, Tan Jiashe had the weakest defensive ability. The Thunderfire Magma nearly broke through his defenses several times, splashing onto him.
Sizzle!
At that moment, another bolt of lightning struck down, causing magma to splash everywhere. Tan Jiashe finally could not resist the splattering magma and was hit by it.
"Ah..." Tan Jiashe let out a scream. Due to being hit by the magma, he lost his balance and fell directly into the Thunderfire Magma below.
As he fell into the Thunderfire Magma, Tan Jiashe only managed to let out a cry before being burned to ashes, completely disappearing. This scene made everyone shudder in unison.
In this terrifying heat-filled Thunderfire Passage, everyone felt beads of cold sweat forming on their backs.
"That's too terrifying! Even an Earth Grade Top-Tier Divine Weapon like the Slaying God Sword would probably be unable to withstand such terrifying heat!" Xing Chen exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the surrounding Thunderfire Magma, feeling a slight sense of awe inside.
The girl beside Zhang Mengning was already pale with fear, her delicate body trembling. The reason she came here was that Zhang Mengning had forced her to come; after all, with Zhang Mengning's strength, there were hardly any who dared to disobey her in Sword Mound.
"Let's go, we can't delay any longer." After a moment, Zhao Yiming came back to his senses and hurriedly said to Xing Chen. It was too dangerous here; every second spent lingering increased their risk. If it weren't for the narrowness of the Thunderfire Passage and the occasional lightning strikes and magma splashes, Zhao Yiming would have already run away by now.
Xing Chen said nothing, only walking quietly forward, but deep inside, he looked down on Zhao Yiming. He had originally thought this person was someone of significance, but seeing his reaction now, it was clear he was just a coward who thought of running away at the first sign of trouble.
Such a person would never achieve greatness. Perhaps the only reason he seemed so formidable now was due to luck, having stumbled upon this mysterious palace; otherwise, he might still be wandering in the Soul Realm!
After the incident with Tan Jiashe, everyone proceeded with even more caution. Faced with the occasional splashes of Magma around them, they exerted all their strength to resist and remained ready to dodge at any moment.
Fortunately, the journey was relatively safe this time. Although there were a few close calls with splashes of Magma, they ultimately managed to evade them without any serious issues.
Everyone remained tense along the way, fearing that an unexpected event could cost them their lives.
"We should be nearing the exit, right? We've been walking in this passage for at least three hours," Qiu Pengchi's voice slowly came through. The hazy light shield emitted by his Jade Talisman had dimmed significantly, clearly indicating that the energy within the Jade Talisman was nearly depleted.
"If we calculate based on the lengths of the previous passages, we are indeed close to the exit. However, the closer we get to the exit, the higher the chance of encountering danger. Everyone should stay alert and not let their guard down," Zhao Yiming said slowly. Although he felt anxious himself, there was little he could do; after all, they couldn't move quickly through the Thunderfire Passage; otherwise, they would have reached the exit long ago.
At this moment, Xing Chen's face had turned slightly pale, and his breathing had become more rapid. The Vital Energy within him was almost depleted; if he didn't receive a replenishment soon, he could only last for about as long as an incense stick burns.
"Take this!" Zhao Yiming noticed that Xing Chen was low on Vital Energy and quickly took out a jade bottle from his Storage Ring and tossed it to Xing Chen. The bottle contained a restorative pill known as the Revitalizing Pill.
At this point, Xing Chen naturally wouldn't be polite. After receiving the pill, he quickly swallowed it. Instantly, a surge of medicinal power appeared within him, transforming into streams of Vital Energy flowing into Xing Chen's Dantian.
With his Vital Energy restored, Xing Chen's complexion improved somewhat, and the Thunderfire Divine Shield became more stable.
Sizzle!
At that moment, another lightning bolt struck directly onto Xing Chen's Thunderfire Divine Shield. The Thunderfire Divine Shield shook violently, and a purple-red light flashed. After Xing Chen's face turned slightly pale, he quickly swallowed another Revitalizing Pill.
Once the Vital Energy was generated within his body, it rapidly surged into the Thunderfire Pearl, supporting the Thunderfire Divine Shield to withstand the lightning strike.
"That was close!" Xing Chen secretly wiped away a cold sweat. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and took a Revitalizing Pill in time; otherwise, whether he could withstand that lightning would have been a question.
Seeing this, Zhao Yiming also breathed a sigh of relief. If that lightning had truly broken through the Thunderfire Divine Shield, he would have been unable to escape unscathed.
"Look, the exit is ahead!"
After walking for another quarter of an hour, an excited voice rang out. Just a few hundred meters ahead was the location of the exit. Upon seeing the exit of the Thunderfire Passage, everyone’s faces lit up with excitement.
After all, this Thunderfire Passage had been the most dangerous one they had experienced so far. Now that they finally saw the exit, their hearts could not be described with just two words of joy.
"You are celebrating too early; let's take a look over there first!" Just as everyone was filled with joy, a cold voice suddenly echoed, like a bucket of cold water splashing over their heads, calming their excited emotions.
