CHAPTER 467: The Massive Magic Formation
The distance between the second and third layers of the secret realm seemed to be quite long. The seven of them had been walking for a full quarter of an hour, covering about ten miles, yet they still had not seen the end.
Another quarter of an hour passed, and accompanied by waves of scorching hot air, a bright red light source finally appeared in their line of sight.
“The concentration of Fire Spiritual Energy here can already rival that of a third-grade superior spiritual vein.”
“Foundation establishment stage cultivators practicing fire attribute cultivation techniques here will have their cultivation speed doubled.”
“Even during my mid foundation establishment stage, I could have increased my speed by thirty percent.”
Feeling the rich and active Fire Spiritual Energy, Liu Yu thought to himself.
Of course, this was in reference to not using any elixirs.
Before reaching the peak of foundation establishment, he consumed an elixir every day, and even cultivators practicing on a fourth-grade spiritual vein would definitely not be able to match his cultivation speed.
If Liu Yu did not have to go through the process of demonic fire refining essence and practiced an ordinary cultivation technique instead.
Facing the fierce hot wind, they quickly approached the red light source.
After a moment, Liu Yu paused at the exit, his dark pupils gazing outward, and his vision suddenly widened.
Before him was a fiery red space, significantly smaller in area compared to the first and second layers of the secret realm, and the environment was drastically different.
At the bottom of the space was not the ground, but a lake of lava, glowing red and exuding heat—an intensely hot magma lake!
On the relatively calm surface of the lake, flames danced slowly.
Looking around, the entire area beneath was filled with boiling lava, sending waves of heat and occasionally bubbling up.
“Pop” “Pop”
As the bubbles burst, flames flickered sporadically, and the intense temperature was likely not much different from foundation establishment true fire.
With such a temperature on the surface, one could only imagine how hot it was underneath!
If an ordinary law cultivator fell in, they would likely be reduced to ashes in less than a breath.
Even Liu Yu, who practiced body cultivation, could only withstand it for one or two breaths at most.
On the surface of the flaming lake, there were no carriers at all, making it impossible for cultivators to find any foothold.
Fortunately, floating high above the magma, were countless fragments of floating islands.
With the support of the formation's power, there were no signs of them falling, so they could serve as temporary landing spots.
These floating island fragments varied in size; the smallest were less than half a yard, only enough for one or two people to stand, while the largest could be dozens of yards in size, easily accommodating hundreds of people.
Liu Yu observed carefully and quickly discovered a pattern.
In general, the size of the floating island fragments increased the closer they were to the center, while those on the perimeter were smaller.
These fragments extended downwards layer by layer, with larger fragments closer to the magma lake's surface.
The central floating island fragment was nearly a hundred yards long and wide, resembling a small island, but it was completely barren and devoid of any life.
It was less than a yard away from the magma lake's surface, looking quite perilous.
Overall, the arrangement of all the floating islands was not chaotic; they roughly formed an inverted triangle shape, perhaps indicating some special significance.
“What is this...?”
Liu Yu was surprised to find that these floating islands were slowly gathering spiritual energy, occasionally shooting out red light beams of varying sizes toward the islands closer to the center.
The red light beams contained extremely pure Fire Spiritual Power.
Ultimately, this spiritual energy converged on the central floating island, then disappeared without a trace.
