The very next moment, Lin Chang'sheng dove headfirst into the fiery lava.
But instead of being scorched by waves of heat, he was met by a surprising coolness.
When Lin Chang'sheng appeared again, he had already left the grand array and found himself in a foggy forest wreathed in smoke.
...
At that same time, inside a rock cave beside the Spiritual Spring Sacred Land, two elders were playing a game of chess.
One wore a crimson robe, his whole body radiating a blazing aura so intense that the air itself seemed to ripple and distort.
The other, tall and imposing despite his age, was clad in a Qilin Armor battle suit that made him look nothing short of formidable.
These two were the previous Demon Emperors, now retired and secluded in the tranquility of the Spiritual Spring.
Both hoping that, one day, they could break through to an even higher realm.
If they failed, this was the place they would lay their bones to rest.
"Hm? That human kid actually broke through the array?"
