Chapter 817 - 432: Active Volcano (Part 2)

Then, she stirred up her divine power.

In an instant, the surrounding space began to warp, forming an entrance to an Illusion Realm glowing with a pink light.

"Gu Sheng, to ensure your safety, you should enter this Illusion Realm first."

The Shaking Light Saintess urged.

"Illusion Realm?"

Gu Sheng was somewhat hesitant.

This type of environment is typically a setup for a trap.

Now they’re telling him to go in, isn’t that just walking into the net?

"What are you waiting for? Quickly get inside, it can temporarily help you avoid Ji Hui and their pursuit."

The Shaking Light Saintess said in a commanding tone.

"No!"

Gu Sheng shook his head.

Once he enters the Illusion Realm, his life and death would completely be in the hands of the Shaking Light Saintess.

He warily looked at the Shaking Light Saintess, not acting immediately.

"Gu Sheng, hurry up and go inside, Ji Hui and the others are about to catch up."

The Shaking Light Saintess seemed to see through Gu Sheng’s thoughts, continuing to urge.

At that moment, the figures of Ji Hui and Hua Yunfei appeared in view.

When they saw the Illusion Realm set by the Shaking Light Saintess, they immediately stopped.

At this time, a slight hint of confusion appeared on Ji Hui’s face.

"Shaking Light Saintess, what is your intention by setting this Illusion Realm?"

Ji Hui coldly questioned.

"I..."

The Shaking Light Saintess and Gu Sheng hadn’t expected Ji Hui and others to arrive so quickly.

They caught up while Gu Sheng was hesitating.

"Are you trying to save Gu Sheng?"

Hua Yunfei asked disdainfully from the side.

"You’re the one trying to save him!"

The Shaking Light Saintess retorted directly.

After that, the Shaking Light Saintess calmly said, "I intended to capture Gu Sheng alive, to ensure he does not escape."

"Damn it!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Sheng felt a surge of anger.

He then cursed angrily, "Shaking Light Saintess, you are untrustworthy!"

If he had known the words of the Shaking Light Saintess were untrustworthy, he shouldn’t have stopped.

Now it was bad, surrounded by enemies on all sides.

"Gu Sheng, you have no escape route left, surrender!"

Hua Yunfei said, suddenly stirring up divine power.

At the same time, several other elders from the Ji family and the Shaking Light Saintess prepared to close in on Gu Sheng.

"If I had a Gatling gun, I’d mow you all down!"

Gu Sheng angrily pointed at Ji Hui and the others.

"Prepare to die!"

Ji Hui said, instantly sending out a flash of silver light.

The silver light, like a sharp sword, shot straight towards Gu Sheng’s face.

It was so fast that Gu Sheng barely dodged.

On the other side, the others also stirred up divine power, sending out cold flashes towards Gu Sheng.

At this time, Gu Sheng only felt the sound of divine power whizzing past his ears.

Fortunately, his movement technique was good, otherwise he would have been riddled with holes by now.

"Ssshhh!"

Just as Gu Sheng felt a bit pleased, two rays of light brushed past the skin of his shoulder.

Instantly, two slits appeared on Gu Sheng’s shoulder.

Gu Sheng knew that if this continued, he would be killed sooner or later.

So, he decided to take a risky gamble.

Then, while evading, Gu Sheng employed the Great Void Skill.

With the magic skill deployed, his body instantly vanished from the spot, diving into the Void.

Seeing this, the others were momentarily taken aback, then all looked towards Ji Hui.

"Hmph! Using the Great Void Skill in front of me! Seeking death!"

A trace of disdain appeared on Ji Hui’s face.

She stirred up her own divine power and struck out with a palm.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the tremendous force shattered the Void directly.

Gu Sheng was shaken out, his body drifting like a kite with a broken string for some distance.

"Hisss!"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng felt his blood and energy surging.

He barely managed to stabilize himself, and looked down.

He found himself above a vast expanse of fiery red magma.

And he was right over an active volcano!

"What? An active volcano?"

Gu Sheng’s face changed dramatically.

He didn’t expect to end up above an active volcano.

Just as Gu Sheng steadied himself, Ji Hui came rushing over with Hua Yunfei and the others.

"Gu Sheng, how do you want to die?"

Ji Hui asked coldly.

"Pah! You old witch, I’m not going to die. It’s you who should die!"

Gu Sheng said disdainfully.

"Stubborn!"

One of the elders of the Ji family saw this and instantly sent a beam of light towards Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng wanted to dodge, but unfortunately, his divine power was insufficient, and his movements were sluggish.

Thus, the divine power struck Gu Sheng firmly.

Following this, Gu Sheng’s body rapidly plummeted toward the volcano.

The heat from the lava was overwhelming, almost melting Gu Sheng’s body.

To save his life, Gu Sheng desperately circulated the divine power within his body, attempting to slow his descent.

The Shaking Light Saintess noticed Gu Sheng’s predicament.

She wanted to save Gu Sheng but it was too late, as Ji Hui was watching nearby.

If she intervened, she wouldn’t get the Great Void Skill and would offend the Ji family; it really wasn’t worth the risk.

"Swish!"

Just like that, Gu Sheng directly fell into the volcano.

"Ji Hui! That’s not a real volcano, but a place for artifact refining called the Fire Domain, chase him!"

Suddenly, the voice of the Holy Master of the Ji family came from the void.

"What? Fire Domain? Place for artifact refining?"

Ji Hui was taken aback.

This old undying one was truly surprised that what looked like a volcano was actually a place for artifact refining.

"Chase!"

Following that, Ji Hui ordered the others.

"Uh..."

The Shaking Light Saintess was stunned.

To be honest, why should Gu Sheng’s life or death matter to her?

Besides, even if she got the Great Void Skill, what then? Wouldn’t she end up like Gu Sheng now?

"Saintess, what are you standing there for? Let’s go?"

Hua Yunfei urged from the side.

"I... I’m not going."

The Shaking Light Saintess directly refused.

"Why?"

Hua Yunfei asked, puzzled.

"I’m afraid my cultivation isn’t enough; what if I enter this volcano and get burnt to death?"

After speaking, the Shaking Light Saintess nodded slightly to Ji Hui and said, "Ji Hui Ancestor, sorry, I’m going to check on my Holy Master’s battle situation first."

Before Ji Hui could respond, the Shaking Light Saintess transformed into a stream of light and flew into the distance.

Watching the Shaking Light Saintess leave, Ji Hui was left speechless.

But she didn’t say much, as the Shaking Light Saintess was from the Shaking Light Sacred Land.

There was nothing she could do about it.

"Let’s go! We’re entering the Fire Domain!"

With that, Ji Hui led the others directly towards the volcano’s mouth.

At this moment, inside the volcano, Gu Sheng was also surprised.

Because after entering inside, he didn’t feel the external heat, on the contrary, it was much more comfortable.

"What’s that?"

Suddenly, Gu Sheng discovered two lines of mysterious words inside the volcano wall.

"Seven layers of Fire Domain to temper the will; ultimately walk the immortal path singing."

Gu Sheng was puzzled as he looked at these words.

"Fire Domain? Temper the will? And seven layers?"

While Gu Sheng was pondering, the voices of Ji Hui and her group came from the mouth of the volcano.

"Quick! He’s down below!"

"This time, he must not escape! Some of you guard the entrance, don’t let him through!"

"Yes, Ancestor!"

Gu Sheng heard these voices, knowing that Ji Hui and the others were after him.

Then, Gu Sheng saw a door in front of him, with the word "Entrance" carved beside it.

As Gu Sheng hesitated, Ji Hui had already caught up.

"Gu Sheng, there’s no escape for you, stop putting up pointless resistance."

Ji Hui’s voice carried a tone of mockery.

She looked at Gu Sheng as if he were already in her grasp:

A sneer appeared on Gu Sheng’s face, he then chuckled coldly, "Do you think I’m afraid of you? Even if I die, I won’t submit to you."

A trace of coldness flashed in Ji Hui’s eyes.

She knew Gu Sheng was stubborn and would not yield easily, so she planned to change her strategy and reveal the secret of this place to him.

"Gu Sheng, do you know what this place is?"

Ji Hui asked with some pride.

"I don’t know."

Gu Sheng replied.

"This is a place for artifact refining, called the Fire Domain. If you go inside, it’s a dead end."

Ji Hui said with some satisfaction.

Gu Sheng was startled but didn’t show it.

"It seems those mysterious words are true."

Gu Sheng calculated secretly in his mind.

Then, his eyes fell on that door, and the word "Entrance" on it seemed to be calling him.

While Gu Sheng hesitated, Ji Hui had already caught up.
