Lu Yang then walked to the second pillar. The Blazing Demon God recited another incantation, and the red gemstone atop the pillar began to glow, shining toward the center of the hall as well.
Then Lu Yang went to the third pillar, the fourth pillar... until he had activated the gemstones on all twenty-four pillars in the hall. A teleportation gate formed from red light appeared at the hall's center.
"Get in quickly. That's my treasure vault," the Blazing Demon God said excitedly.
Lu Yang strode to the teleportation gate and stepped inside. A streak of red light flashed before his eyes, and the next moment, he appeared atop an altar surrounded by flames.
The altar was made of azure stone, with a ring-shaped magic array around it. Eight arm-thick red gemstones were embedded within it. In an instant, all eight gems erupted with violent red flames. But before the flames could touch Lu Yang's body, the Blazing Demon God released his divine sense, and the flames immediately became gentle. They merely warmed Lu Yang from head to toe.
"Is this a trap array?" Lu Yang asked.
The Blazing Demon God said apologetically, "I haven't been here in tens of thousands of years, so I forgot about the mechanisms. The moment someone entered the teleportation array, if it wasn't my true body arriving, they would be attacked by the array I set beforehand. Don't underestimate it. Though I casually set it up with fifth-tier gems, its attack power is equivalent to a full-force strike from a peak fifth-tier expert."
Lu Yang did not mind. He and the Blazing Demon God had already lived and died together countless times; they were like family. Smiling, he said, "You probably never imagined you'd end up like this back then."
