"Buzz!"
Without a word, Bai Zihe immediately absorbed all the scorching heat emanating from the dodecahedron into his body.
In an instant.
His entire body, from head to toe, was ravaged by this searing warmth.
Fortunately, this heat was not like the magma outside, surging and powerful. On the contrary, it seemed to be intimately close to Bai Zihe.
As it flowed through his meridians, it continuously repaired the damage caused by the external magma.
In the blink of an eye.
Bai Zihe's meridians, scorched by the high temperature of the magma and on the verge of fracturing inch by inch, began to slowly recover.
Although the speed was slow, the trend was established.
This made Bai Zihe exceptionally delighted.
In other words.
He no longer needed to fear the thick magma outside.
But this was not enough.
He was currently tens of feet below the magma. If he didn't escape, in the long run, it would still be a big problem.
"Buzz..."
After much thought, Bai Zihe conceived a plan—
To use the heat transmitted from the dodecahedron as a bridge to thoroughly comprehend the fire element within the magma.
No matter how violent.
No matter how unrestrained.
As long as he could transform himself into it, it would no longer be a threat.
Easier said than done.
Fortunately...
Bai Zihe possessed the mysterious scroll of Pangu's creation. It contained the entire process of the great god Pangu's body transforming into countless great worlds.
The transformation and evolution of elements...
Was also part of it.
This gave Bai Zihe a lead to follow, allowing him to imitate the process.
Coupled with the magma-like aura emitted by the dodecahedron, it served as the standard answer Bai Zihe was seeking.
With the answer and the path laid out, clarifying the key would only be a matter of time.
At the same time.
Zhuge Sheng and the others had already entered the main hall.
"Eh..."
"Why hasn't Brother Bai appeared?"
"That's right, where is our young master? When I jumped down, I clearly saw him jump too?"
"This... could there be some unforeseen circumstance?"
Many of those present were bewildered.
"Swish..."
Just then, a phantom appeared in mid-air, it was the Dragon Emperor.
His eyes, like countless stars and bright moons, gazed down at the crowd below, and his ancient, majestic voice echoed in their ears: "This space..."
"Each person has only one chance to enter."
"Bai Zihe has already entered once and cannot step into it again. He is now falling into a pool of ten thousand-foot magma."
"You all..."
"Take this opportunity to comprehend the mysteries of this place; it will greatly benefit you."
After speaking.
The Dragon Emperor's phantom dissipated like smoke.
Everyone present was struck dumb on the spot.
Bai Zihe...
Had fallen into the magma?
"Not good!"
"That magma has accumulated for who knows how many years, and its temperature is incredibly high, far beyond what human strength can withstand. If the young master falls into it, I'm afraid..."
Elder Liu Yuan's exclamation made everyone's hearts sink with dread.
"But we have no way of getting out right now, what should we do?"
"Yes, even if we want to save the young master, we must leave first. But if we do that, according to the Dragon Emperor, each person only gets one chance, and we will have wasted it."
The experts were in a dilemma.
"There's no time to delay, let's quickly grasp the mysteries of this place."
Zhuge Sheng, as the Son of Heaven, became the backbone of these people. He commanded: "Brother Bai is blessed by heaven and earth; he will be fine."
"We can only do that."
"Let's split up and act quickly."
"Hopefully, we can catch up when we get out."
Immediately, the experts began to act.
This time.
No black shadows appeared in the hall.
They quickly found the four doors labeled "Weapons," "Pills," "Treasures," and "Manuals."
"Elders, and the few from the Xuan Tian Pavilion and the Valiant Thieves, let us all enter this door labeled 'Manuals'."
Zhuge Sheng pondered for a moment, then instructed the others: "Those from the Dark Empire, the Hand of God, and the White Reaper, you all divide yourselves."
"Alright."
After the division, everyone immediately took action.
Outside.
Smith Joe, proceeding with extreme caution, had led the Japanese experts, along with Supermen and gene warriors, to the previous lava mountain range.
Upon seeing the devastation everywhere, Smith Joe couldn't help but click his tongue.
Just those few sword marks made his expression change drastically.
"Is this truly something achievable by human power?"
Smith Joe was deeply shocked.
Qin Changsheng back then was a cultivator at the Integration stage. His angry sword strike was naturally infinitely powerful, leaving the landscape here unrecognizable.
"Mysterious ancient Eastern land..."
Dr. M, looking at the traces at the scene, his eyes flickered with a strange light, and he murmured, "We cannot underestimate it!"
"Just this scroll..."
"It makes one feel unfathomable, infinite."
Shaking his head, Dr. M did not dwell on these matters. His attention was more focused on the scroll depicting "The Yellow Emperor Battling Chi You."
He always felt.
This scroll contained incredible secrets.
Smith Joe, after examining the illusions at the scene, quickly made some arrangements.
He currently had five Supermen and four gene warriors left, and could not afford any more losses.
Each of these combat machines that broke down was one less.
Especially the laser weapons, their energy consumption was immense. Every use meant one less, so they couldn't be wasted any further.
Therefore.
He positioned several Supermen at strategic vantage points.
Once Bai Zihe and the others reappeared here.
They would undoubtedly face a devastating onslaught.
"Where is this..."
After observing for a while, Dr. M suddenly put away the scroll and looked thoughtfully towards the foot of the nearby cliff, into the boiling magma.
Smith Joe quickly asked, "Dr. M, have you discovered something?"
"Bai Zihe is inside here."
Dr. M pointed to the magma below and said with absolute certainty.
"Really?"
Smith Joe was startled by his words, then quickly reacted.
Right.
Smith Joe remembered.
The green pool they were in back then was also a peculiar space, but once entered, one could not enter again.
Each person had only one chance to enter.
The second attempt to enter... was a true death trap!
At least.
They had the same idea back then, but when they acted on it, they discovered that the pool had transformed into an incredibly poisonous abyss.
Whether it was a living person, a Superman, or a gene warrior...
Even the slightest touch would result in certain death, without any suspense.
And before this.
Bai Zihe had clearly entered the secret realm, otherwise, he wouldn't have led so many experts to jump off the cliff.
This time, then, was Bai Zihe's second entry.
So...
He would no longer jump into an illusion, but into the real, ten-thousand-year-old magma.
"Dr. M, what should we do now?"
