Chapter 1195: Chapter 1186: Earth Fire
"What should I do?"
Mo Wangchen asked, hearing Big White Dog’s words.
"I’ll go down with you later, let’s find the Investiture of the Gods first," said Big White Dog.
Mo Wangchen frowned, "Could there be any danger?"
"You were cowardly nine hundred years ago, how are you still cowardly now?"
Big White Dog rolled its eyes and continued, "What’s wrong with danger? If you do nothing, that’s the real danger."
"And if we obtain the Investiture of the Gods, do you know what that means? It means you can rebuild the Heavenly Court and become the new Heavenly Court Master!"
"I have no intention of rebuilding any Heavenly Court, my point is, what if my blood fails to suppress the Investiture of the Gods?" said Mo Wangchen.
Big White Dog paused, "Then we’ll all meet in the Netherworld."
"No more nonsense, time is short, follow me,"
With those words, Big White Dog leapt ahead, reaching mid-air and opened a breach in the Great Formation at the edge of the deep pit, then jumped in.
"Brother Qing, Brother Mu, please inform the three deans and have them disperse the disciples in the Heavenly God Institute temporarily. Many cultivators in the Ancient God City are also drawn by the Great Dao Divine Power, it’s best to have them leave as soon as possible."
Mo Wangchen said these words and wasted no time, entering the deep pit together with Big White Dog.
The emergence of the Investiture of the Gods is no small matter, if an accident occurs later, not just the Heavenly God Institute, even the cultivators across Ancient God City will be affected.
Mo Wangchen advised as a precaution to avoid any mishaps.
He wasn’t too worried about the Heavenly God Institute here; the three deans should already grasp the gravity of the situation. As for people in Divine City, whether they heed the advice and choose to leave is their responsibility. Mo Wangchen has done his part.
"How deep is this pit?"
Following Big White Dog’s descent, darkness blocked Mo Wangchen’s sight, he couldn’t see anything, yet he sensed Big White Dog wasn’t far from beside him.
"I’ve never been down here before, how could I know?" Big White Dog replied truthfully.
It was silent for a while before saying, "But given the Investiture of the Gods’ power, this pit is definitely not ordinarily deep, it might reach the earth’s core."
Man and dog continued to fall, the pit seemingly bottomless.
Gradually, Mo Wangchen noticed the surrounding air growing hotter, as if a heat stream was rising from below.
"Just as I thought, this pit is too deep, the heat stream must be emitted by Earth Fire," exclaimed Big White Dog.
Earth Fire exists at extremely deep layers underground. At such depths, not even Ancient God mighty ones can enter as the deeper one goes, the underground becomes increasingly solid, reaching certain depths, the land is as hard as Nine Heavens Divine Iron, beyond human capability to break.
It’s perhaps only such divine objects from Ancient Times like the Investiture of the Gods that could create such a spectacle.
"Zzzzzz..."
Finally, after who knows how long, light finally appeared beneath Mo Wangchen and Big White Dog, accompanied by a piercing sound.
"This is..."
Mo Wangchen gazed, seeing they’ve arrived at the bottom, before them lay a sea of magma fire, with extreme temperatures capable of evaporating all things in the world.
"Dammit, I’m so hot I’m about to become a roasted dog—oh wait... I am a dog,"
Big White Dog stuck out its tongue, breathing rapidly, as if about to be roasted, cursing endlessly.
"The Investiture of the Gods—is it beneath here?"
Mo Wangchen hovered above the magma volcano, the scorching heat swarming him, making his breathing heavier.
This heat is a toxic gas emitted by Earth Fire; staying here long may leave irreversible damage despite physical health.
"Seems like we have no choice but to go down and search," said Big White Dog.
"These fires could probably melt Divine Iron. How do we go down? You try first?" Mo Wangchen frowned.
"Kid, your Divine King Body is the strongest physique in this world, a Treasure among Heaven and Earth, even Earth Fire can be resisted momentarily. If not you, then who? You want me to go down? Planning to have me as stew meat?"
"Are you sure I can withstand the fire?" Mo Wangchen was somewhat dubious, thinking the dead dog was tricking him.
"I admit I’m somewhat unscrupulous, but this is a matter of life and death, how could I deceive you? Only you can suppress the Investiture of the Gods. If you die, I’ll be doomed too," retorted Big White Dog, seeing Mo Wangchen’s skeptical gaze.
Upon this remark, Mo Wangchen nodded, "If we find the Investiture of the Gods, what should I do?"
"Let it be stained with your blood; if things go awry, run first. No guarantee your blood will be effective or immediately work; we have an hour left. After that, the Array True Technique I set up will be exhausted,"
With these words, Mo Wangchen wasted no time, guarding his body with layers of Spiritual Power, and under Big White Dog’s gaze, leapt into the magma fire sea.
"Hiss..."
The instant his body touched the magma fire sea, Mo Wangchen inhaled sharply. The Spiritual Barrier shielding him evaporated instantaneously, the scorching magma directly contacted his skin.
In an instant, his clothes turned to ash, fortunately, Big White Dog didn’t lie. His Divine King Body indeed resisted Earth Fire, yet Mo Wangchen endured extreme heat torture at this moment.
"Whoosh!"
No time to hesitate, even if the Divine King Body withstands Earth Fire’s assault, it can’t hold for long. Mo Wangchen exerted his cultivation, swiftly moving through the fire sea.
"Under such conditions, the naked eye sees nothing, with this fire sea so vast, how to search?"
About a quarter-hour later, Mo Wangchen’s search yielded nothing, his anxiety grew. Failing to find the Investiture of the Gods before Big White Dog’s formation depletes would spell disaster.
Not only for him, but for the entire Ancient God City’s people, unable to survive. Moreover, as time goes on, with the Investiture of the Gods emerging, its Divine Power grows stronger, eventually restoring its Ancient state, capable of crushing a small world, posing endless threats to Heavenly Gang.
"Right, Great Dao Divine Power..."
This magma fire sea severs all his senses, unable to feel the Investiture of the Gods’ Great Dao Power.
But Mo Wangchen also possesses Divine Status within; releasing his Great Dao Divine Power may perhaps sense something.
