“Enter inside, you mean to travel within this magma?”

Jun Dao asked. This magma river was formed from the dragon vein, nurturing dragon energy. Ordinary deities wouldn’t dare enter it. Even they couldn’t stay inside for long.

Kong Wu shook his head, looking at the magma river. “I said before, this dragon vein has the appearance of transforming into a dragon. Its interior is hollow, about to develop flesh and blood. We can enter inside to avoid getting lost.”

“Its interior is hollow, developing flesh and blood?”

Everyone was astonished. They had heard of mysterious races that transformed mountain rock into flesh and blood, comparable to supreme treasures. If this dragon vein also had flesh and blood developing, that would be a pleasant surprise.

“Is it possible to forcibly break it open here?”

The Fallen God asked. The source and end of this dragon vein were unknown distances away. Following the dragon vein had the risk of getting lost. They could only choose to break it open here.

“It’s possible, but it must be fast, or it will cause the dragon vein to retaliate.”

Kong Wu said. He was the best example. He wanted to deduce the mysteries within the dragon vein but was ultimately retaliated against. Fortunately, they had a powerful alchemist of the primordial era among them, or his eyes would have been ruined here.

Moreover, his case was mild, as he had only peeked and hadn’t attacked the dragon vein. But now, they were going to cleave a path from here. If the speed wasn’t fast enough, they would inevitably suffer the most terrifying retaliation.

“Good! Everyone, let’s attack together and break it open!”

The Fallen God said. To avoid the situation where they couldn’t break it open, he made the decision to have everyone attack together. If they still couldn’t break it open like this, they would have to find another way.

“Alright!”

The others nodded, all using powerful treasured techniques. Jiang Xuan was no exception, using a powerful sword technique.

“Open!”

Runes flickered, breaking open the magma scales, stirring up scalding magma. The next moment, a hollow appeared. Everyone didn’t hesitate and charged directly into it.

In just a few breaths, the hollow healed. They could even feel a vast divine power, as if it wanted to tear apart the void. Even these monstrous geniuses felt their hearts tremble under that aura.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As Kong Wu said, it was fortunate they were fast enough. Otherwise, being retaliated against by this dragon vein, judging by that power, they would be heavily injured even if they didn’t die.

After being vigilant for a moment, they finally relaxed and began to observe the inside of the dragon vein.

Now they seemed to be in a magma tunnel, with magma flowing all around, like a huge hollow, over a hundred zhang in both height and width. (One zhang is approximately 3.3 meters).

The only sounds were the gurgling of the flowing magma and the occasional "hissing" sound, like something falling into the magma and being burned.

“It really is starting to develop flesh and blood!”

Even Jun Dao couldn’t help but be surprised. Within their sight, there was a place, about five or six zhang in size, with crystal-clear, clearly veined flesh and blood embedded in the magma, merging with it.

But if one observed carefully, one would find that the blood flowing in that flesh and blood was this rolling magma. Each blood vessel was a small channel.

“Is this considered dragon meat? Can we tear off a piece to taste?”

A monstrous genius licked his lips. This was flesh and blood developed from a dragon vein, with many mysteries. He really wanted to cut off a piece to taste, but he was worried about causing a sudden change. He still clearly remembered the retaliation that erupted outside.

“You can try. The retaliation inside the dragon vein shouldn’t be too alarming.”

Kong Wu said. If the kind of retaliation that erupted outside were to happen inside, it would probably blow up a large section of the dragon vein. It was obviously impossible, but it wouldn’t be completely safe. If it touched some kind of limit, it was very likely that this dragon vein would go for mutual destruction.

“Okay, I’ll try!”

That monstrous genius was named Zhan Yu, a body cultivator with a powerful physique comparable to a barbaric dragon, able to compete with ancient ferocious beasts.

He directly grabbed with both hands, like two dragon claws, seizing that mass of flesh and blood, and tore off over a hundred *jin* of flesh and blood. (One *jin* is approximately 0.5 kilograms).

*Dong!*

But at the instant he tore off this piece of flesh and blood, a streak of crimson light also erupted from the deeper flesh and blood, breaking through the void, unimaginably fast, and directly struck his abdomen.

Even with his physical strength, it was instantly pierced through. His internal organs were shattered, and a fist-sized hole appeared in his abdomen, bright on both ends and charred, without a drop of blood flowing out.

The others quickly summoned their treasures, protecting him. That streak of crimson light was too fast, like a red lightning bolt. Even the Fallen God and the others didn’t have time to intercept it when they noticed it. They could only watch helplessly as Zhan Yu’s abdomen was pierced.

“Hiss… Fortunately, it wasn’t aimed at my primordial spirit, or I would have been finished here today.” Zhan Yu grinned. Although this crimson light was astonishing, directly injuring him, it wasn’t a heavy injury. With his cultivation, he could recover in a while.

Of course, it would be a lie to say it wasn’t dangerous. He couldn’t dodge at all just now, watching helplessly as he was pierced through. Fortunately, it wasn’t aimed at his primordial spirit, or he would have definitely been finished.

“Heh, a hole in exchange for a piece of dragon meat, that’s not a loss, right?” Carrying the flesh and blood in his hand, he felt better again. The blood energy in this flesh and blood made him covet it, extremely astonishing, with great fortune. Refining it completely would be of no small benefit to him.

“The retaliation isn’t too strong. As long as you protect your primordial spirit, it won’t be fatal, but it’s best not to take too much.” Jun Dao said. This retaliation was within their acceptable range.

Afterward, the others also took action, each cutting off a piece of flesh and blood. Even Jiang Xuan also took action, taking a piece of flesh and blood weighing about a hundred *jin*. They were all prepared, using secret treasures to protect themselves, blocking the crimson light without injury. Of course, they also had to thank Zhan Yu, the guinea pig.

After this, they continued to move forward. Every so often, they would see some flesh and blood, but they didn’t cut any more off.

They had already discovered that the more flesh and blood they cut off, the stronger the retaliation would be, constantly accumulating. Continuing like this, even with secret treasures protecting them, they might be killed.

In addition, they also saw some flesh and blood about to transform into organs, supported by thick blood vessels, hanging in the empty abdominal cavity, with rumbling sounds inside, like a pulse beating!

As they went deeper, they could even hear faint heartbeats. That sound made their souls tremble. With each rhythm, their minds seemed to resonate with it, wanting to jump out of their bodies and merge with it!

Even Jiang Xuan and the Fallen God were shocked. It seemed that a heart had grown in this dragon vein, with a mysterious rhythm that could resonate with living beings, with supreme mysteries, but also many terrors.

If they couldn’t suppress themselves, being too close to that heartbeat, it was really possible to directly shatter their bodies, their minds completely devoured.

They continued forward. However, just as they reached a certain place, the underground dragon vein ahead suddenly became dim and unclear. The underground originally had a strong light emanating from the magma, but now even the light seemed to be swallowed by the darkness, leaving only a faint fluorescence.

The front was like an endless black hole, able to swallow everything. It seemed that even this dragon vein was constantly being swallowed by it, about to become a part of it, no matter how much it struggled, it was all in vain.
