After crossing over, he has no taboos among the zombies.

Chapter 1396

The soil swept past his fingertips as Qin He suppressed all outward-emitting aura of law, enveloping his body only in the purest demonic energy, and continued to sink down along the cracks in the rock strata.

The deeper you go, the higher the temperature becomes. At first, it's just the warmth of the rock layers, but after a thousand feet, the air becomes scorching hot, and even breathing produces sparks. The physical bodies of ordinary cultivators would have long since turned to ashes by now.

After descending several hundred feet, a violent tremor suddenly came from beneath their feet.

Qin He paused, and the rock layer his fingertips touched suddenly became scalding hot, and he could even feel the violent energy flowing inside.

He pushed aside the last layer of rock, and the sight before him instantly made his pupils shrink.

In the endless darkness, crimson lava flows.

This is a lava vein stretching to an endless distance. The viscous lava, like a sleeping behemoth, slowly rolls and moves, its surface covered with fine bubbles. When it bursts, the sparks it ejects trace brief streaks of red light in the darkness.

A dense, almost tangible fire-attribute spiritual energy wafted towards us, mixed with the pungent smell of sulfur.

These spiritual energies are incredibly violent and show no signs of being tamed; they can burn one's soul upon contact.

"Boy, how are you? Is the fluctuation of the Heavenly God Realm still locking onto you?" The black demon banner in his sleeve suddenly became hot, and Long Qingyun's voice came out with a hint of urgency.

Qin He raised his hand and took out the Black Demon Banner, suspending it in front of him. He said calmly, "We have temporarily shaken off our pursuers and found a lava vein."

"Lava veins?" Long Qingyun's soul image shook violently inside the banner, his tone filled with surprise. "Quick, let me see the surrounding scenery! You wrap the banner with your demonic energy, and I can use your aura to open the view outside the banner."

Qin He did as instructed, and a wisp of pure demonic energy wrapped around the black demon banner.

The blood-red "Demon" character on the banner suddenly lit up, and a pale red light membrane spread out from the banner, enveloping Qin He within a radius of several feet.

When Long Qingyun's voice rang out again, it carried a greater degree of certainty: "A good place! The fire-attribute spiritual energy deep within this earth vein is too violent, and the laws are disordered. The golden light of the Searching Heaven God Realm cannot penetrate it at all."

“Look at the trajectory of that flowing lava. It contains the most primal laws of fire, which are completely incompatible with the laws and order of the outside world. As long as you enter it and travel along the earth's veins, even a Heavenly God Realm expert will not be able to detect your presence.”

Qin He's gaze swept over the churning lava below, and he could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within it. In such an environment, let alone cultivators, even magical treasures would be instantly melted if they fell in.

"The temperature of this lava is too high for ordinary protective shields to withstand," he said in a low voice.

"You've fused with the Primal Laws, and your Demonic Essence is no longer what it used to be." Long Qingyun's voice urged, "With the Primal Laws as your core and your Demonic Essence as your shield, you can create a protective barrier that's enough to insulate you from the intense heat of the lava. Any later, and the Divine Court's pursuers will be catching up!"

"We need to be quick, we can't let them catch us. Now is the best time to escape."

Upon hearing this, Qin He no longer hesitated.

He took a deep breath, and the golden-black pillar of light within his dantian suddenly shone brightly, the power of the primordial laws flowing through his meridians to his entire body. He formed hand seals, and demonic energy surged wildly, condensing into a thick, black-gold protective shield around him.

On the surface of the protective shield, the patterns of the three laws of lightning, wind, and space flowed faintly, intertwining with the primordial laws to form an indestructible barrier.

As soon as it took shape, it actively absorbed a small amount of fire-attribute spiritual energy from the surrounding area, and the color of the protective shield deepened a bit.

"go!"

With a low shout, Qin He leaped into the churning lava.

"Fuck!"

A piercing sound rang out as lava collided with the protective shield, sending sparks flying everywhere. The shield trembled violently, its surface magic energy rapidly depleting, but the primordial laws within remained unmoved, firmly protecting its core.

Qin He steadied himself and followed the direction of the lava flow, disappearing deeper into the earth's veins. The lava offered immense resistance, consuming a large amount of magical energy with each step, but his speed remained impressive, and his figure quickly vanished into the depths of the lava.

Meanwhile, on the ground...

The golden light of the Heavenly Realm enveloped the entire canyon, and the gilded armored warriors hovered in mid-air, their faces so gloomy they could drip water.

He could clearly sense that Qin He's aura suddenly and completely disappeared after the chaotic flow of laws dissipated.

"What happened? Where are they?" the gilded armored soldier asked sternly.

The divine envoy in charge of controlling the Heavenly Searching Divine Realm turned pale and said urgently, "My lord, the laws below are in disarray, and there seems to be a powerful force from the earth's veins interfering. The golden light of the Heavenly Searching Divine Realm cannot penetrate it, and we have completely lost track of the target!"

"waste!"

The gilded armored warrior roared and swung his holy spear, unleashing a golden force of law that cleaved the rock at the bottom of the canyon, creating a ravine a thousand feet deep.

“That demon must have escaped underground!” A Divine Punishment Envoy in the late stage of the Other Shore Realm stepped forward, his tone solemn. “There are ley lines surging below, he most likely escaped using them.”

The gilded armored warrior's eyes sharpened, and his holy might surged. The power of the laws of the Holy Realm spread out, forcefully suppressing the surrounding chaotic laws.

He looked down at the ground and said in a deep voice, "I will go down and chase them myself! You all stay here and seal off all exits. Do not allow anyone to approach!"

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly sank, enveloped in holy power, and crashed through the rock layer, disappearing underground.

Wherever the holy power passed, the rock strata turned to dust, leaving a straight passage.

The other Divine Court cultivators dared not be negligent and took out array flags, setting up multiple arrays around the canyon.

Golden array patterns intertwined, echoing the golden light of the Heavenly Realm, completely sealing off the entire area.

Above the canyon, golden light still filled the air, the laws of heaven and earth were forcibly distorted, and the oppressive feeling in the air grew stronger and stronger.

Everyone knew that if Qin He escaped from the earth's veins, they would face the most severe punishment from the Divine Court.

Deep within the earth's lava, Qin He was unaware that his pursuers were closing in.

He was now completely focused on manipulating the protective shield, following the flow of lava deeper and deeper.

It's very taxing, but... we can handle it.
