Wu Shattered Star River

A group of powerful individuals, still a hundred miles away from the abyss, already felt the burning heat, a testament to the intensity of the flames.

The experts present all possessed powerful techniques and treasures capable of withstanding the high temperatures, but how long could they endure against such domineering flames?

The abyss seemed bottomless; who would dare descend? What if the flames below were even stronger? They could easily be burned alive.

Regardless, they had come this far. These powerful figures would not retreat without a fight. The Kun Clan King had instructed Kun Yun that they must achieve something this time.

The group endured the scorching heat as they approached. Upon reaching the vicinity of the abyss, the cultivators had to release their techniques and treasures, or they wouldn't be able to withstand the intense heat.

Their spiritual senses scanned downwards, discovering that the Fire Demon's aura was already extremely weak, indicating that it had descended at least several thousand miles into the abyss.

Several thousand miles was but a moment's journey for these experts.

However, none of them dared to move. With such terrifying flames, forcing their way down would not only fail to kill the Fire Demon but might result in their own incineration.

"Chi chi!"

Kun Qi released a large hand, attempting to strike downwards, but the hand's energy was completely consumed by the powerful flames after only descending a few dozen miles.

"Boom boom boom!"

Two other cultivators released attacks, but their attacks similarly dissipated after only a few dozen miles.

"When did such abnormal flames appear here?"

Kun Yun muttered with some suspicion. However, they hadn't been here for thousands of years, and it seemed they hadn't visited this abandoned realm last time. It was normal not to know about such powerful flames.

Dwelling on this was pointless; they needed to figure out how to enter the abyss and hunt down the Fire Demon.

Kun Yun pondered for a moment. Layers of light appeared around his body, and he slowly flew towards the abyss. The other experts remained still, waiting for him to test the intensity of the flames.

He entered the flames, and the light rings flickered intensely. However, Kun Yun's combat power was strong, and he managed to withstand the flames.

The other experts' eyes lit up. If Kun Yun could withstand it, perhaps they could too? If they could all endure for a while, they could rush down and besiege the Fire Demon?

"Shu!"

The next moment, Kun Yun flashed back, a bitter expression on his face. "These flames… are extremely domineering. They also contain a corrosive energy that can erode my mana…"

"Uh!"

The other experts were stunned. Kun Qi and the others exchanged glances, then released their techniques or activated their treasures and flew towards the abyss.

"Shu shu shu!"

The experts only stayed in the flames for a moment before retreating, bitterness on their faces.

They all felt it; the flames were incredibly intense and contained a corrosive energy that eroded their mana.

"I'll go take a look!"

Mu Qingchen flew over. She endured the flames for quite some time. She had a jade amulet on her chest, a treasure given to her by the Zheng Yi Daoist, capable of withstanding the high temperatures.

After a few breaths, Mu Qingchen returned. The other cultivators looked at her, and she shook her head. "I can only withstand it for a few dozen breaths."

The experts all frowned. Mu Qingchen could withstand it the longest, but what could they do in a few dozen breaths?

Moreover, it was only Mu Qingchen. Her combat power wasn't particularly strong. Going down would not only fail to kill the Fire Demon but might not even scratch it.

Kun Yun turned to Kun Ye and said, "Can you set up some formations to divert the flames?"

"This…"

Kun Ye was somewhat troubled. Divert the flames? How could he divert so many flames? Flames weren't seawater that could be redirected.

Kun Ye thought for a moment and said, "I can't. At most, I can set up a formation to seal this area, preventing the Fire Demon from escaping. These flames are too domineering; the formation can't withstand the burning. Even if I could divert some, it wouldn't be much."

"How about we try digging a tunnel from nearby?"

A cultivator from a large clan offered a suggestion. Kun Yun considered it and said, "We can try. See if we can directly ambush the Fire Demon from underground? With so many experts attacking together, the Fire Demon definitely won't be able to withstand it."

"Let's try!"

Several experts began to act, retreating a hundred miles before starting to dig a tunnel.

The experts were powerful, but the ground in this area had been scorched by flames for years, making it exceptionally hard and difficult to dig.

Although it was difficult, it was still possible. Several experts took turns bombarding the ground, continuously digging the tunnel.

Jiang Han stood silently to the side. Although he possessed some peculiar abilities, he couldn't do anything in this situation.

His physical body might be strong enough to withstand the high temperatures, but what could he do by going down? Go down and be killed by the Fire Demon?

Three cultivators were digging, while the others dispersed, surrounding the abyss. Kun Ye began setting up a formation, preparing to seal off this area, preventing the Fire Demon from escaping.

The Fire Demon didn't escape, or rather, didn't dare to escape.

Soon, three hours passed. The three cultivators had dug a tunnel that led underground, extending towards the bottom of the abyss.

Kun Yun, Kun Qi, and the others secretly began to look forward to it, hoping that they could quickly reach the Fire Demon from underground. Then they could take turns attacking, eventually wearing down the Fire Demon.

Kun Yun ordered Mu Qingchen, Jiang Han, and three other Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level cultivators. He then led the remaining Dao Ancestor Realm Eighth Level cultivators into the tunnel, preparing to take turns attacking the Fire Demon.

Jiang Han, Mu Qingchen, and the others nodded slightly. With the formation set up outside, it was almost impossible for the Fire Demon to escape from above. So many experts could easily intercept him.

Jiang Han extended his spiritual sense, wanting to investigate the situation underground, but the distance was too great, and his spiritual sense was weakened. He couldn't sense much, only roughly sensing the auras of a few experts.

"Boom boom boom!"

The battle below quickly erupted. Jiang Han and Mu Qingchen were both nervous and expectant.

The more intense the explosions below, the stronger their anticipation became.

The longer they fought, the more it proved that Kun Yun and the others were withstanding the high temperatures and continuously attacking the Fire Demon, perhaps even killing it?

"Shu shu shu!"

Soon, the sound of rushing wind echoed within the tunnel, followed by figures flying out from the tunnel.

Jiang Han and the others glanced over, their faces immediately filled with astonishment.

Because Kun Yun and the others were all seriously injured, burned to charcoal, and one cultivator was even missing half of his body.

As soon as Kun Yun came out, he immediately took out pills and began to heal. He glanced at the crowd and explained, "The flames below are even stronger; we can't withstand them. Moreover, the Fire Demon's defenses are too strong; we can't break through them in a short time. Killing the Fire Demon from underground… is very difficult!"
