Alchemy Emperor of the Divine Dao

Chapter 4438  Alive?

"Underneath, there should be a powerful existence. It is he who has formed this kind of wave of fire, and also because of him, his martial intent is mixed within the wave of fire. Thus, even a natural divine item would not be able to block it."

Ling Han murmured to himself as he took a few steps back.

It was suspected that there was a Venerate Tier-level existence beneath this deep pit. In that case, it was even more impossible for him to rashly go down and take risks.

"Yi?"

He suddenly saw a ray of red light surge out of the sinkhole.

Because he had taken a few steps back, when he saw the red light, the red light was actually not far from the ground.

It was flames!

Ling Han hurriedly broke into a run. Boom, behind him, flames surged out, burning in all directions, instantly turning the surrounding stone forest into a forest of fire.

It was too fast!

There was no way to use the Phoenix Wings Divine Flight here, so Ling Han's speed was greatly restricted. He couldn't outrun the flames at all, so he could only climb up a stone pillar.

As long as he didn't climb to the top, he probably wouldn't be attacked.

Boom, the waves of fire surged past, surging like the tide.

Ling Han breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, he gritted his teeth. The temperature of this flame was too high, causing all the clothes on his body to dry and crack. It looked like they were about to burn.

F***, this was a Five Star Celestial Material!

Sigh, this was the bad thing about coming to this kind of place to train. It was too expensive.

Ling Han felt a little heartache. As for the issue of his image, he was not considering it. After all, there was not even a ghost in this place, so there was no need to worry that others would see him.

However, very soon, he was no longer in the mood to consider the problem of money, because the wave of heat was getting more and more intense, directly penetrating into his heart and lungs, causing the breath he exhaled from his nostrils to be red in colour, and the temperature to be extraordinarily high.

Was he going to be roasted?

Ling Han felt that it really was a bit like that. See, wasn't he hanging on a stone pillar?

He continued to climb upwards, staying further away from the waves of fire. This indeed improved the situation slightly, but the stone pillar itself was also burning extraordinarily hot, so hot that even his skin was about to fall off.

"Hu! Hu!" He kept switching from his left hand to his right hand, and from his right foot to his left foot. He had a chance to escape the stone pillar and "cool down" for a while, but as time passed, this was still not feasible.

Forget it.

He leaped up, directly piercing through the clouds.

He couldn't be burnt to the point of severe injury, or even to the point of actually being burnt to death, right?

Yi?

After arriving in the air, Ling Han discovered that the stone pillars here weren't glowing, or launched an attack at him.

Could it be that because of the flames, these stone pillars had temporarily lost their offensive ability?

Forget it. At least for now, he could avoid the assault of the waves of heat.

He cast his gaze over, and saw that there was a pillar of fire behind him that had shot up to a height of three hundred meters. It was precisely coming from the sinkhole.

Furthermore, looking into the distance, there were actually a considerable number of such pillars of fire that could be vaguely seen.

Which also meant that there was more than one sinkhole, and there was more than one Venerate Tier-level existence?

The flames surged, and after about half an hour, they finally stopped, no longer surging.

Another layer of the stone forest had been burnt, and with a slight breeze, the ashes continued to fall, forming a very thin layer on the ground.

Ling Han felt a sense of confusion. This stone forest was continuously burning, and a layer of "skin" would be shed every time, but after so many years, why was it still not completely burnt?

This was illogical.

However, he immediately shook his head. There were too many illogical things here. How could he investigate each and every thing in detail?

Weng! The stone pillars lit up.

Not good. The flames had passed, and the stone forest returned to normal. It had become offensive again.

Ling Han hurriedly descended, not daring to face it head-on.

The wave of flames had just passed, and the ground was still filled with a burning sensation, forcing Ling Han to have no choice but to activate the Starlight Screen.

He advanced, and he had not walked too far, when he discovered another scale on a stone pillar.

Had this come out of the colossal pit along with the gushing waves of fire?

Ling Han deduced that there were fierce beasts in the sinkhole, and this naturally had fallen from the bodies of fierce beasts.

"What a strange place."

If one's reaction speed was slower, they would be instantly killed by the pillar of light if they rashly rose into the air, and if they walked on the ground, the waves of fire would also instantly kill them.

The stone forest was too big, and in fact, Ling Han discovered that the stone forest itself was also changing the direction. That was because he was clearly advancing continuously, but after two days, he discovered that he had actually walked back the way he came.

This was too inconceivable.

Ling Han was certain that his mind definitely hadn't been affected. Then, without the influence of external power, why had he suddenly started to walk back the way he came?

What was even stranger was that he was clearly walking backwards, yet did not pass by the place that he had previously walked to.

Though it was all the same scenery inside the stone forest, with Ling Han's insight, he could still distinguish the slightest difference.

Strange, too strange.

Ling Han adjusted his course. However, this time, he was even more shocked, because he discovered that he had walked these paths before.

What was going on?

For example, he had been walking east, but as he walked, he realized that he had turned west at some point in time. Logically speaking, he should have walked the path he walked before, yet the scenery was completely different.

However, he adjusted his direction and headed east again, only to discover that he was actually going back the way he came.

"There is only one possibility!"

Ling Han tapped his fingers, "Actually, this is not some kind of psychedelic formation, but rather the whole stone forest is spinning!"

—To make an analogy, if he was on the body of a giant tortoise, he would have been heading east at first, but as he walked, the giant tortoise turned 180 degrees. Then, though Ling Han was still advancing straight ahead, he had turned westwards, yet had not gone backwards.

Thinking about it this way, the matter became simple.

"Hiss, then doesn't that mean that this stone forest is alive?"

Ling Han gritted his teeth. Could it be that he was presently standing on top of a massive beast? This could explain why the stone forest had not been burnt to nothing, because it was a living creature, so there was growth.

He had to leave as soon as possible.

Ling Han determined the direction, and continued onwards.

However, the stone forest would change direction from time to time, and because it was huge, this change was really noiseless, causing even Ling Han to fall for it. The more he adjusted his direction, the more he lost himself in it.

After ten days, he realized that he had really lost all sense of direction.

Forget about it. He might as well stick to a single direction and walk to the end. He would definitely be able to leave.

And he had also discovered the rhythm of the waves of fire gushing out here. It would happen once a day, punctually, and would last for half an hour.

"It's coming again," Ling Han murmured. He leaped up and soared into the sky.

Boom! True enough, the waves of flames surged over in an instant.

Yi?

He suddenly saw a figure standing proudly in midair in the distance.

Though they were very far away, with Ling Han's sharp eyesight, he could tell with a single glance that that person was… Guan Xinghan.

This Golden Generation also discovered Ling Han's presence. Without another word, he immediately charged over.

Boom! Divine light surged from his body, transforming into nine-colored light that boosted his might.

"Die!"

This Imperial Son delivered a palm strike, which turned into a colossal axe, intending to slash down on Ling Han.
