They saw some text appear on the stele and after carefully studying it for a while, they realized they had successfully passed the first challenge.

"The second challenge is up ahead!"

Duan Gujin looked back and saw at least a hundred members of the Devil Clan slowly crawling on the sandy ground behind him.

Although this challenge seemed difficult and the God Demon Puppets were extremely ferocious, the loud voice that appeared in the sky had already informed the Devils Clan how they should proceed if they wanted to get through this challenge.

"Let's go in!"

Duan Gujin and Miao Yu moved toward the entrance ahead of them. Upon reaching the entrance, a fierce white light appeared before their eyes.

Immediately after, a strong Transmission Power enveloped their bodies and transported them away.

In less than twenty breaths' time, they felt the surrounding Transmission Energy stabilize and they opened their eyes to survey the environment.

Upon clearly seeing their surroundings, Duan Gujin's expression changed drastically.

The previous challenge was mainly a test of movement technique, which was not difficult for him. But he had not anticipated the second challenge to be an almost endless sea of Molten Lava.

"Oh god! Isn't this too hard?"

Upon seeing the rolling molten lava in front of her, Miao Yu immediately felt like beating a retreat.

As a member of the Heavenly Fox Clan, they have an innate fear of flames.

Previously, when she faced the puppets shaped like beings of the Divine Race, her body shuddered, and her Divine Soul felt fear, as the aura unleashed by those Divine Race puppets instilled a sense of terror in her.

The reason Duan Gujin didn't feel any aura of fear was that he was currently manifesting the Giant Demon Elephant Martial Soul, which possessed strong suppressive power over other Martial Souls.

Naturally, the power emanating from those puppets of the Divine Race couldn't possibly suppress him.

Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense, and after a while, he determined that the molten lava in front of them should not be the erupting type.

"There's a Molten Lava Sea up ahead!"

He thought he could inspect the end of the lava with his Divine Sense Inspection, but he hadn't expected that within this space, there was a powerful force blocking his Divine Sense Inspection.

"We need to be very careful as we move forward!"

Duan Gujin said to Miao Yu.

"Alright!"

Miao Yu took a deep breath, knowing that at this point she had no other choice but to follow Duan Gujin and proceed forward.

Duan Gujin led Miao Yu swiftly toward an exposed boulder that was still rolling in the molten lava.

He went first, and then Miao Yu followed, stepping where he had previously landed.

Fortunately, there were many boulders inside the molten lava, with one appearing every three meters or so.

Therefore, they weren't worried about the possibility of boulders suddenly sinking.

"Halt, those in front!"

Suddenly, they heard a loud shout coming from the left.

"There are other living creatures here?"

Duan Gujin quickly signaled to Miao Yu not to heed the voice.

Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a member of the Human Clan appear to the left.

It was a young human female with beautiful features, standing on a boulder, looking around, seemingly lost and unsure.

"Heh heh, look, it's impossible for there to be other humans here!"

Duan Gujin quickly transmitted a message to Miao Yu to be ready for defense.

Miao Yu also saw the human girl and immediately realized that the human girl could likely be an illusion.

Because, those who should be participating in this challenge are mostly supposed to be members of the Devil Clan.

Of course, there's one exception, which is Duan Gujin. Miao Yu believed that there would be very few humans able to infiltrate this challenge.

It's an Illusion Technique!

Seeing that Duan Gujin and Miao Yu didn't stop and continued to move forward, the human girl immediately became furiously enraged.

"To offering a toast but refusing to drink, one ends up drinking a forfeit! Behold, my sword!"

Following that, the girl from the Human Clan instantly transformed into a Fire Snake, her whole body engulfed in blazing flames.

"The person behind us has turned into a Fire Snake!"

Miao Yu immediately warned Duan Gujin.

Duan Gujin said, "Don't panic! Let's keep moving rapidly forward!"

A thought flashed through his mind: "Could it be that every level of the Space-Time Treasure Hall has something that obstructs one's advance?"

Swoosh!

The Fire Snake dove straight into the swirling Molten Lava, moving freely within it, completely unaffected by the lava's heat.

Duan Gujin's brows furrowed tightly as he locked his Divine Sense onto the Fire Snake behind them.

The situation now was far more perilous than when he had been sprinting across the sand at high speeds, fleeing the God Demon Puppets.

For now, he was on top of Molten Lava.

Though should he fall into the lava, as long as he could crawl out in time, the scorching Molten Lava wouldn't be able to harm him.

But at the moment, Miao Yu was by his side, and he had to be concerned for her safety.

He knew that fire was a weakness for those from the Devil Clan.

Should Miao Yu fall into the Molten Lava, her skin might sustain irreversible burns.

Even if he had ways to restore her skin to its former condition, it would take a significant amount of his energy to help her recover.

Better to avoid injury in the first place than try to heal it afterward.

"Spurt! Spurt!"

Suddenly, he saw the Fire Snake behind them spit out a massive Fireball at each of them, Duan Gujin and Miao Yu.

"Damn!"

He and Miao Yu were currently jumping from boulder to boulder on the rolling Molten Lava, being extremely cautious.

But with the Fire Snake now attacking, sweat broke out on Duan Gujin's forehead. He knew he had to block the Fire Snake's harassment of Miao Yu with all his might.

"Miao Yu, charge ahead! I'll cover our retreat!"

Duan Gujin shouted hastily.

He quickly circulated his Primordial Power, creating a Defensive Light Shield in front of him.

Two loud booms rang out, followed by explosive noises in the Void.

Duan Gujin nearly fell into the Molten Lava, but he managed to stabilize himself and stand firm on a large boulder.

"Miao Yu, keep moving! Don't worry about me! I'll cover our retreat!"

Duan Gujin called out loudly to Miao Yu ahead of him.

"Alright!"

Miao Yu knew that Duan Gujin might not fear the flames. If she didn't advance right now, the consequences would be unimaginable if both of them were wrapped up by that one Fire Snake.

Duan Gujin took a deep breath, his eyes sparking with a glint of sharpness.

He had to counterattack the Fire Snake to prevent it from attacking Miao Yu.

Taking another deep breath, he rapidly circulated his Primordial Power.

Soon after, three Ice Shields formed in front of him.

With a strong push, he sent the three Ice Shields from different directions toward the Fire Snake up front.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

Upon seeing the Ice Shields Duan Gujin smashed at it, the Fire Snake's momentum burst forth, and it hastily spat out a fireball from its mouth.

The fireball let out a rapid whistling as it burst through the air, aiming for the middle Ice Shield.

With a loud boom, the Fireball and the Ice Shield collided, creating an explosive noise.
