"What are you planning to do?" Breiz's voice was filled with curiosity. "Are you going to use your spatial abilities to steal it directly?""No." Qin Tian gently shook his head, his gaze sweeping over the sleeping Lava Demon King, his tone cautious. "A Rank 7 Demon King's perception is too keen. I'm not confident I can get out with the monolith before he wakes up.""Then what do you intend to do?" Breiz pressed, a hint of anticipation in his voice."Just watch." Qin Tian kept him in suspense, his figure like a drop of ink merging into the shadows, silently retreating from the depths of the lava cave.He didn't linger, rushing towards the center of the Demon Source. In his invisible state, not even the lava beneath his feet rippled. In just a quarter of an hour, he reached his destination.The Demon Source before him was even more magnificent than he had imagined.It was a giant vortex, several hundred meters in diameter. Black demonic energy, like boiling ink, spewed from underground, interweaving with the falling lava from above, condensing into a chaotic grey-purple current that churned endlessly in mid-air.The demonic energy was so dense that it crystallized into black shards at the edge of the vortex, falling to the ground with a crisp sound before dissolving into the heat.Around the vortex, dozens of Rank Six Demon were entrenched in their respective territories, greedily absorbing the demonic energy.There were Fire Demons with three pairs of wings, each breath causing the black flames around them to surge three feet; there were Demon Tortoises with lava-covered carapaces, burying their heads into the densest part of the vortex's edge, the patterns on their carapaces glowing under the demonic energy's wash; and there were Demon Flame Fire Pythons coiled on stone platforms, their hundred-meter long bodies wrapped around obsidian pillars, lava-like red light flowing between their scales, their forked, fiery tongues flicking, each movement causing the surrounding temperature to suddenly climb.They maintained a subtle distance from each other, none daring to cross the line—in the center of this Demon Source, even Rank Six Demon had to abide by the most primitive rules; any provocation could trigger a bloody battle.Qin Tian, hidden behind a huge obsidian rock, watched the scene before him, a cold light flashing in his eyes.This was the place."Boom—"Dozens of solid iron spheres, each over ten meters in diameter, appeared out of thin air. Fiery red light flickered on their surfaces, and their scorching aura caused the surrounding demonic energy to churn violently, as if ignited.They fell directly above the Demon Source vortex, like sparks appearing out of nowhere, instantly breaking the silence at the center of the Demon Source.The Fire Demon with three pairs of wings was the first to notice the anomaly. It stopped absorbing demonic energy, its golden pupils fixated on the iron spheres, its black flame-wreathed wings gently flapping, filled with wary anger.The Demon Flame Fire Python also raised its head, its forked fiery tongue rapidly flicking, clearly not understanding the origin of these destructive iron spheres.However, before they could react—"Boom! Boom! Boom!"A continuous series of Explosions, like rolling thunder, erupted as dozens of fireballs burst simultaneously!In an instant, violent Explosion flames, like fire dragons breaking free, swept in all directions. These flames were different from the black flames or lava fire controlled by demons; they carried the Explosion power infused by Qin Tian. Every inch of flame vibrated violently, and wherever they passed, the air seemed to be torn into countless fragments, emitting a sharp shriek.The low-rank demons on the outskirts of the Demon Source became the primary casualties of this Explosion.Lava Hounds were sent flying by the shockwave, smashing into the rock wall and turning into a puddle of flesh; Little Fire Demons were swept by the flames, their bodies torn apart by the Explosion.Further away, dense swarms of low-rank demons fell in swathes like leaves swept by a gale. Some were instantly blown to death, others had their internal organs shattered by the shock. Wails rose and fell, instantly staining the ground around the Demon Source red.In contrast, while the Rank Six Demon were affected by the Explosion, they suffered no substantial harm.The Fire Demon spread its three pairs of wings, and a swirl of black flames blocked the Explosion flames from its body, though it was pushed back half a step by the shockwave; the Demon Flame Fire Python's scales tightened, and its hundred-meter body merely shuddered, neutralizing the impact, only letting out angry growls as its tongue flicked; the Demon Tortoise remained completely still, the patterns on its carapace flashed, and all vibrations were dissipated into nothingness.Despite being unharmed, their fury ignited instantly.The Demon Source vortex, several hundred meters in diameter, began to tremble violently under the impact of the Explosion.The originally stable flow of demonic energy, like a deep pool into which a giant rock had been thrown, instantly churned up monstrous waves. The black demonic energy no longer spewed forth in an orderly fashion but became frantic and unstable, sometimes condensing into solid walls ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) of energy, sometimes transforming into thin mist, wildly tumbling and colliding in mid-air.Even more bizarrely, subtle cracks appeared in the center of the vortex. Demonic energy spewed from these cracks, carrying unstable energy fluctuations, sometimes scorching like lava, sometimes chilling like ice, causing the surrounding temperature to fluctuate wildly and chaotically.The Rank Six Demon who had been absorbing the demonic energy immediately panicked. They could clearly feel that the Demon Source, the very foundation supporting demonic existence, had suffered obvious damage in this round of Explosions and was boiling in an extremely unstable state.The violent tremor at the Demon Source, like a thunderclap in the deep sea, instantly passed through the rock layers and reached the deepest part of the lava cave."Boom—!"The Lava Demon King, who had been prostrate on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils, burning with lava, flared brightly, like two suddenly ignited geocentric lamps.He awoke from his slumber, his four limbs, covered in thick lava armor, slowly pushed up. Each movement caused the entire lava cave to tremble violently.The lava streams on the rock walls danced wildly like startled snakes.He clearly felt that the aura of the Demon Source had become frantic and chaotic—an unprecedented anomaly!Without hesitation, the Lava Demon King rose and strode towards the Demon Source. His seemingly heavy body moved with astonishing speed.As he moved through the lava cave, the rock walls automatically opened passages. Each step left a huge, smoking footprint on the ground, and his scorching aura terrified the low-rank demons along the way, who didn't even dare to look up.On the stone platform, the black-red monolith still stood silently, unmoved by the constant washing of lava against the platform.Moments later, the Lava Demon King appeared at the center of the Demon Source.The moment he arrived, he felt the chaotic aura permeating the air. The Demon Source vortex churned violently, black demonic energy constantly colliding and bursting like boiling water. The cracks in the center of the vortex gradually shrunk, but the unstable energy fluctuations caused the surrounding space to slightly warp."Roar—!!!"The Lava Demon King let out a deafening roar of fury, his voice filled with violent rage. He could feel that the Demon Source had suffered some damage, which, for a demon dependent on the Demon Source for survival, was an unforgivable provocation!He searched for abnormal auras around him, vowing to utterly tear apart the culprit who had damaged the Demon Source.The Rank Six Demon, sensing his rage, all prostrated themselves, not daring to make the slightest move.However, in the next second, the Lava Demon King's expression suddenly froze, lava-like flames flickering violently in his eye sockets, filled with unbelievable shock and panic."Roar!"He suddenly let out an angry roar, his voice full of urgency and unease.His massive body no longer paid attention to the Demon Source's condition, turning and rushing towards the depths of the lava cave.Rocks along the way were shattered by him, lava streams were splashed as he stomped, and the low-rank demons who couldn't dodge in time were instantly crushed into paste, yet he didn't stop for a moment.Soon, the Lava Demon King rushed back to the deepest part of the lava cave,But the sight before him struck him like lightning—The stone platform was empty. The black-red stone that had stood silently there was gone. Only the lava continued to wash along the grooves of the platform, making a sizzling sound, as if mocking his oversight."Roar—!!!"An earth-shattering roar of fury erupted from the Lava Demon King's mouth. This roar contained his extreme anger and ferocity. The entire lava cave trembled violently, lava streams on the rock walls spewed forth as if boiling, and lava stalactites from the cave ceiling fell with a crash, igniting roaring fires on the ground.His lava armor instantly shattered, hot lava mixed with gravel (shattered rocks) splashing everywhere, and the surrounding air was scorched and distorted.The treasure he had guarded for centuries, which had helped him continuously improve, had disappeared in the short time he was away!This feeling of being provoked and toyed with drove this Rank 7 Demon King into complete madness.Suddenly, the Lava Demon King violently raised his head, his lava-burning pupils fixed on the area above. He sensed that the gem's aura had appeared above and was moving rapidly away.You won't escape!!!"Roar!!!"A furious roar once again echoed through the lava cave. This time, the roar contained a hint of desperate determination.
