Chapter 580: Chapter 580: The Terrifying Black Flame

Zhou Yuan and Qi Jianshi saw Lin Chen jump into the lake, their expressions changing drastically as they immediately followed him to the lakeside.

They looked towards the lake and couldn’t help but furrow their brows, as the water emitted an unsettling aura.

However, they no longer had the luxury of hesitation, for Lin Chen had already dived to the bottom of the lake.

Zhou Yuan and Qi Jianshi ordered their followers and junior martial artists to also jump into the lake, while they followed closely behind.

Despite their reluctance, under the intimidation of Zhou Yuan and Qi Jianshi, the martial artists of the Demon Race and Bodhi Hall had no choice but to obey the orders and plunge into the lake one after another.

As Lin Chen continued to descend, he noticed that the movements of the skeleton frames around him had disappeared, but the water was filled with an abundance of black qi. At the moment, this qi was not dense, and Lin Chen, shielded by the flame of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, remained unaffected by it.

However, the martial artists of the Demon Race and Bodhi Hall found dealing with this black qi not nearly as easy.

To resist this black qi, Zhou Yuan and others had to exert their Spiritual Power for protection.

Everyone carefully avoided the black qi, but as they descended deeper, it became increasingly dense, and the sense of eeriness also grew stronger.

Zhou Yuan and others’ eyes lit up, realizing that the Exotic Treasure Lin Chen had found might be at the bottom of the lake. They immediately urged everyone to quicken their descent, so as not to let Lin Chen get there first.

But as they descended further, they discovered that when their Spiritual Power shields came into contact with the black qi, they were severely corroded.

Panic arose among them, for if they continued to be exposed to this qi, their Spiritual Power would soon be depleted, leaving them in extreme danger.

Faced with the increasingly dense black qi all around, the group began to consider retreating.

But under the intimidation of Zhou Yuan and Qi Jianshi, they had no choice but to continue descending.

When they reached a thousand zhang deep at the bottom of the lake, they found that the water was completely filled with black qi, and everyone stopped their descent, with even Zhou Yuan and Qi Jianshi feeling startled.

Looking down, they witnessed a shocking sight.

They saw that beneath the lakebed there were thousands of skeleton frames, each adorned with a magic treasure.

Greed arose in the hearts of Zhou Yuan and Qi Jianshi.

Their gazes followed Lin Chen as they saw him continue to dive fearlessly, seemingly unaffected by the black qi.

Every time the black qi touched Lin Chen’s body, it was immediately engulfed by a layer of reddish-yellow flame on his body surface.

"What method has this guy used? This black qi is both eerie and corrosive to our Spiritual Power, why is he immune?"

Zhou Yuan’s brows were tightly knitted, clearly seeing that there was a significant secret hidden on Lin Chen’s person.

At that moment, seeing that Lin Chen could actually devour the black qi it released, the black pearl at the bottom of the lake once again emitted streams of black qi, violently rushing towards Lin Chen.

"This thing really has its own consciousness, and it can actually attack on its own."

Lin Chen was shocked by the black qi rushing towards him.

However, protected by the power of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, Lin Chen was not afraid. No matter how much black qi hit him, the reddish-yellow flame could absorb them all.

However, Zhou Yuan and Qi Jianshi were not as fortunate as Lin Chen.

Faced with these black flames filled with strange qi, their hearts were filled with fear.

The black flames easily penetrated the Spiritual Power shields of the martial artists, then swept through their bodies. Their vitality vanished at an alarming rate, their bodies rapidly shriveled, and soon they turned into skeleton frames.

Zhou Yuan and Qi Jianshi, witnessing this scene, were shocked and without hesitation turned around to flee frantically towards the lake surface, but the black flames seemed to have locked onto them, pursuing relentlessly.

At that moment, the black pearl, having witnessed the power on the surface of Lin Chen, was furious. Faced with such an insignificant being, it was unable to harm Lin Chen, so it charged at Lin Chen, intending to corrupt him with its own power. With the force of its true body, even a strong person from the Heavenly Human Realm would instantly turn into a skeleton frame, let alone Lin Chen, who was only at the Second Layer of Reverting Void Realm.

As it rushed towards Lin Chen, all the black flames in the lake became agitated.

The entire lakebed’s black flames began to spin, waves splashed on the lake’s surface, and the whole lake became tumultuous.

Outside the Formation, Weilian and Qing He looked worriedly at the movements in the lake.

Just then, two figures flew out from beneath the lake’s surface, frantically fleeing the scene.

Zhou Yuan and Qi Jianshi now cared not for Lin Chen nor Weilian and the others. If they were affected by those black flames, their lives might also be forfeited here; such were the flames’ terror.

At the lakebed, when the black pearl charged in front of Lin Chen, the reddish-yellow flame on Lin Chen’s body suddenly burned even more fiercely.

The black pearl immediately began to tremble and then turned around to flee.

It sensed an ancient aura from the flames on Lin Chen’s body, which was incredibly frightening and practically a natural enemy to it.
