Although Fang Chen and the Myna bird could send their Spiritual Sense deep underground, they could probe no farther than a hundred zhang beneath the surface. Anything deeper lay beyond their reach.
Fang Chen nodded, then said to the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm, "Chi You, go underground and see whether there's a Seal down there!"
"Okay!"
At Fang Chen's words, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm returned to its true form, landed on the mountain range below, and began digging. The Chaos Demonic Star Vine settled on Fang Chen's shoulder.
Rumble!
Before long, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm had dug a huge hole in the ground.
After the time it took an incense stick to burn, the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm's voice sounded in Fang Chen's mind. "Master, I've reached an underground world of magma. There's an incredibly powerful aura in here. I think we've found something!"
"Found something?"
Fang Chen perked up at once when he heard the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm.
He said to the Myna bird, "Come on, let's go down!"
With that, Fang Chen took the Myna bird and the Chaos Demonic Star Vine into the tunnel the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm had dug.
When they reached the world of magma, the pressure bearing down on them grew even stronger. Red-hot magma surrounded them on every side.
Besides the immense Spatial Pressure, Fang Chen sensed another, unusual force.
Just then, the Myna bird trembled slightly and said to Fang Chen, "Fang Chen, there's a mysterious power here. It can undo the Seal on me!"
The Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm had returned to Fang Chen's side as well. Taking human form, he said, "Master, there's something strange deep in this magma."
"Then let's go take a look!"
Fang Chen parted the magma before him and descended with the Myna bird and the Chaos Heart-Devouring Worm.
