Two days later, the Crimson Gold Battle Group, after more than a dozen battles of varying sizes, finally exited the Obsidian Corridor and reached their destination—the Infernal Demon Sea.The scene before them abruptly changed.The Infernal Demon Sea was like a furnace overturned by a god; as far as the eye could see, there were churning pools of magma. Scarlet-red magma flowed slowly through the fissures in the ground, and the rising heat waves, mixed with a pungent smell of sulfur, assailed them, even distorting the air.In the distance, volcanoes erupted in succession, spewing gray-black smoke plumes. Some were currently gushing fiery red lava, like torches piercing the sky, dyeing half the sky a strange orange-red.Even more unsettling was the demonic energy permeating this place—more than ten times denser than in the Obsidian Corridor, so thick it seemed to solidify, forming rolling black clouds above the magma pools. Occasionally, black lightning tore through the clouds, illuminating the landscape below.Even the sunlight was filtered by this layer of demonic energy into a dismal dark red, offering no warmth when it fell on them, only a suffocating sense of oppression.And the Broken Blade Defense Line stood on the eastern edge of this purgatorial landscape.It was a colossal mountain range stretching from north to south, its main peak resembling a divine weapon sharply severed by immense force. The Section was steep as a mirror, perfectly vertical, with gray-brown rocks glowing with a cold, hard luster under the magma's light.The ridges extending from both sides of the mountain range were like the teeth of a blade, clearly separating the Infernal Demon Sea from the area behind it.Looking up from the foot of the mountain, the entire mountain range exuded a magnificent and grim aura, as if it were naturally formed to resist invasions from the Infernal Demon Sea.And looking up along the steep mountain body, one could see the defensive fortifications carved out by past warriors: watchtowers built around the mountain, fort embedded in the rock face, winding trenches, and even the energy patterns of a Spiritual Energy User barrier faintly visible among the rocks.Most crucially, this 'Broken Blade'-like high mountain had an extremely high elevation. From the observation deck at the summit, the greater part of the eastern Infernal Demon Sea was visible—any abnormal movements in the magma pools, the scale of volcanic eruptions, or changes in demonic energy concentration could be detected immediately.This commanding view served as a natural early warning barrier, allowing defenders to preemptively catch any danger signals from deep within the Infernal Demon Sea.Qin Tian stood at the foot of the mountain, gazing at the treacherous mountain range, then turned his head to look at the distant, churning Infernal Demon Sea, his eyes deep.“Attention all camps,” his voice transmitted through the psychic network to the entire army, “First and Second Camps, ascend the mountain immediately, take over the watchtowers and defensive fortifications, and establish a three-tiered alert; Third and Fourth Camps, construct a temporary camp at the foot of the mountain to protect heavy supplies; all other camps, follow me [N O V E L I G H T] to survey the weak points of the defense line, and complete initial deployment within two hours.”“Yes!”The warriors’ responses echoed in the heat waves, carrying the fatigue from traversing the Obsidian Corridor, but also an added resolve to stand firm.The Crimson Gold Battle Group’s banner flapped in the mountain wind, intertwining with the roar of distant volcanic eruptions, announcing that this force had officially moved into the Broken Blade Defense Line and begun to shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the Infernal Demon Sea.Many of the defensive fortifications of the Broken Blade Defense Line were damaged or incomplete. It took the Crimson Gold Battle Group two hours to restore the entire fortification.Qin Tian stood on the observation tower, looking out at the Infernal Demon Sea before him. Magma churned in the rift like boiling blood, volcanoes spewed dark red ash, and demonic energy rolled above the Infernal Demon Sea like viscous ink.This place was several times more dangerous than their previous station.This was his first close-up observation of the Infernal Demon Sea, but the scene before him was not unfamiliar; he had seen it in Yan Song’s memories.Yan Song was a fire-elemental Spiritual Energy User with a Gold-tier bloodline. After seeing the Infernal Demon Sea on the war zone map, he had secretly come here.He wanted to see if there were any fire-elemental treasures in this sea of fire.Ultimately, he detected nothing, but Breiz sensed the fluctuations of a fire-elemental treasure.So, guided by Breiz, Yan Song approached the location of the fire-elemental treasure. Using the shadow concealing ring’s ability to mimic aura, Yan Song donned a devil skin and successfully infiltrated the core area of the Infernal Demon Sea, finally locating the exact position of the fire-elemental treasure.However, unfortunately, the treasure was guarded by a devil, and the guardian was a seventh-tier Lava Demon King.Within the first layer of the Demon Suppression Abyss, seventh-tier Demon Kings or seventh-tier Spiritual Energy Users were exceedingly rare; such top-tier powerhouses mostly gathered in the second and third layers.Especially seventh-tier Demon Kings, due to the low concentration of demonic energy in the first layer, they almost never stayed there.The presence of the Lava Demon King shattered all of Yan Song’s hopes.He knew very well that even using the Burning Heaven Purgatory, it would be difficult to kill a Lava Demon King with extremely high fire resistance. If he failed to kill it with one shot, he, in his subsequent weakened state, would have no chance of escaping the Infernal Demon Sea.Nevertheless, he was still unwilling to give up.It was important to note that Lava Demons, like Silverwing Demons, found it extremely difficult to break through to the seventh-tier given their inherent talent and potential.But this Lava Demon had managed to do it.This, in another way, proved that the fire-elemental treasure beneath the magma must be extraordinary, not only allowing the Lava Demon King to break through its racial ceiling but also making it so reluctant to leave the first layer of the Demon Suppression Abyss.Yan Song had considered many methods, and had even thought about using his Gate of Void.However, during their first meeting, he had concealed the actual teleportation distance of the Gate of Void, claiming it was only 20 kilometers, and that as the demonic energy concentration increased, the Gate of Void’s teleportation distance would be further compressed.After learning this, Yan Song completely abandoned his inner thoughts.“Breiz, what do you think that fire-elemental treasure is?”Qin Tian touched the ruby bracelet on his right wrist, communicating telepathically.To prevent outsiders from knowing he had obtained the Burning Heaven Purgatory, he had Breiz change its original form into a bracelet and wear it on his wrist.“What, are you also eyeing that thing?”Breiz’s childish voice sounded in his mind, “To be honest, I’m not sure what it is either, but I can feel that it’s definitely not an ordinary fire-elemental treasure. If there’s a chance, I still hope you can get your hands on it.”“But…”Breiz’s tone became somewhat lazy, “You’re still too weak right now, even weaker than that guy before. Even if you manage to get the item with my abilities, it would be very difficult for you to escape alive.”Listening to Breiz’s undisguised disdain, Qin Tian wasn't angry. Breiz had been with him for too short a time and didn't know him well.In terms of Spiritual Energy User level, he was indeed inferior to Yan Song.But when it came to the diversity of methods and abilities, it was probably impossible to find anyone in the entire empire who could compare to him.Qin Tian gazed into the distance, his eyes profound.Once the Crimson Gold Battle Group was settled, he planned to set off to investigate.Let me see what’s truly hidden beneath that sea of fire!
