Sulfur Fire Lake
The "Sulfur Fire Lake" is a sacred place located in the Koblenz Valley in the middle reaches of the Rhine River.
A large river flows through the area, with vineyards, churches, and weathered castles dotting the hillsides on both sides; the scenery is quite nice.
Lu Li and his two companions descended from the sky and landed on a cliff on the north bank of the river valley.
This cliff blocked the Rhine's path, forcing it to make a 90-degree turn to bypass it before it could continue flowing north.
The entrance to the spiritual realm is at the very top of this cliff, shrouded in a thick, impenetrable white mist.
Hundreds of "mechs" driven by knights lined up to block the entrance.
The leader, wearing a Swan cloak, roared in a muffled voice through his helmet:
"We are the guardian knights of the revered god; Evil Spirit shall not tread here..."
Before the man could finish speaking, Lu Li raised his hand and suddenly fanned out a powerful air current reaching eight times the speed of Mach.
It crashed down like a tsunami, tearing the guardian knights to shreds, their fragments flying out in all directions.
Seeing this, Su Qing said with envy, "You've gotten stronger again. It's so good to have the Spirit Refinement Realm protecting you."
The biggest difference between Lu Li and Su Qing is not the 720 Fusion Acupoint, but the ability of "the Divine Soul reflecting the whole body".
The ability to regulate the body down to the individual cell level naturally leads to vastly different progress in cultivation.
The three walked towards the entrance of the Spirit Realm. Lu Li said to Su Qing:
"You've made rapid progress; you've already ignited 570 Fusion Acupoint. Once we're done with this, I'll help you with a concentrated boost, and you'll surely ignite them all."
"Okay, after I'm done with this. I'll try to conceive while I'm at it."
Su Qing readily agreed, then reached out and brushed away the thick fog in front of her, saying:
"The entrance was sealed from the inside; how did we manage to force it open?"
"No need, I just acquired a magic weapon that can break through the Spirit Realm."
Lu Li summoned "Madam Xu's Dagger" from the spiritual realm, infusing it with divine thought and Indestructible Will.
Having served her new master for the first time after submitting, "Madam Xu's Dagger" also wanted to show off her skills.
A flash of light appeared around it, and it transformed into a streak of light that swept through the thick fog, cutting a large gash in the air.
Through this place, you can see countless scenic buildings, which is the scenery inside Lingjing.
"Not bad, better than directly and violently breaking through the facade."
Lu Li was fairly satisfied and strolled with his two wives into the "Sulfur Fire Lake" spiritual realm.
This place is blessed with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and in the very center stands a smoking volcano, which is the location of the Spiritual Vein.
Upon arriving at the crater, Lu Li contacted Himiko, who had previously offered to guide him, and she immediately responded:
[This servant is at the end of the Spiritual Vein where you are; you will see her when you come down. This servant is still occupying the Earth Core, so please forgive me for not being able to come out to greet you.]
Sensing through the Life Lamp, Himiko was indeed directly below, in a vast space.
Lu Li had never seen anything like it before, and filled with curiosity, he was the first to enter the Spiritual Vein.
Su Qing and Xiao Yu followed closely behind, using the Spiritual Vein as a high-speed train to go straight to the depths of the earth's core.
1000 kilometers, 2000 kilometers... The deeper you go, the higher the pressure and temperature become.
After drilling down for 4,000 kilometers, the view suddenly opened up before us.
Lu Li and the other two were ejected from the cave entrance along with a large gush of lava and plummeted downwards.
With their cultivation levels, the three of them naturally wouldn't fall and immediately hovered in mid-air.
"This is... Core Earth Void!"
Lu Li looked around in astonishment, only to find that the space he was in was an enormous "cave".
The ground area alone is nearly one million square kilometers, and the vertical height is a staggering 100,000 meters, or 100 kilometers—it's ridiculously large!
Even more spectacularly, lava flows down from the cave ceiling, turning into a fiery red curtain that rushes into a lava lake the size of a province.
"Sulfur Fire Lake, that's quite fitting."
Lu Li took a deep breath, the air thick with the scorching smell of sulfur.
However, the concentration of spiritual energy was more than ten times that of the ground, surpassing all spiritual realms seen before.
This is not a different dimension like a spirit realm, but a real structure existing inside a planet.
The planet's core is 2,500 kilometers in diameter, and there is an outer core that is more than 4,000 kilometers thick.
With such a thick layer, theoretically, any kind of structure could be extruded from it.
Or was it intentionally created by a powerful being at the time of creation? That remains unknown.
At this moment, a figure gracefully flew over and knelt down, saying:
"This servant greets her master."
It was Himiko arrived. Lu Li asked her:
"You can come directly here; the Core Earth Void beneath the British Isles is connected to this side?"
"Reporting to Master, the underground world can be connected through Spiritual Vein are like the meridians of a planet."
Himiko answered, and Lu Li skipped a beat, instantly making a connection:
Spiritual Vein are the meridians of a planet... When the Yang God created the world, he couldn't simply create a planet!
Seeing that Lu Li was interested in this, Su Qing also said:
"The scenery in each underground world is different. The spiritual realm of my Mount Tai Sect is an endless ancient forest with towering trees, and there are even dinosaurs in it."
"Interesting. I'll definitely go check it out when I have time."
Lu Li was genuinely interested, but he had to get down to business first.
"Aren't Yahweh and Satan here?"
With Lu Li's current cultivation level, his mind could easily penetrate rock layers hundreds of kilometers deep, yet he still couldn't find his opponent in the Sulfur Fire Lake.
Himiko quickly said:
"The two of them are avoiding us, they must be afraid. In that case, the master will occupy this Earth Core and force them to show themselves."
Even their stronghold has been destroyed, so they have to come out and make an appearance.
Starlight immediately shone in Lu Li's eyes as he channeled his divine sense into the Spiritual Vein within the fire lake, causing them to spread outwards.
This is similar to infusing a magical artifact with divine thought; once it's filled and possessed, the artifact is taken over.
What the group of Heavenly Monarch were fighting over was the ownership of the Earth Core.
Whoever's divine will can completely occupy the Earth Core will possess the entire planet.
The Sulfur Fire Lake is Satan's territory, filled with his divine thoughts.
Lu Li was not afraid at all. He unleashed his "Indestructible Will" to crush and eliminate the opponent's divine sense with overwhelming force.
Within minutes, accompanied by a series of minor earthquakes, most of the Sulfur Fire Lake had become part of the mainland.
Yahweh and Satan haven't shown up yet, but Lu Li isn't in a hurry. His divine sense spreads rapidly along the Spiritual Vein, encroaching on the Earth Core where the two belong.
Himiko's eyes lit up with admiration! If this man had been born a few years earlier, they wouldn't have stood a chance.
After a while, Lu Li's divine sense had completely spread out, occupying 20% of the Earth's Earth Core.
Yahweh and Satan offered no resistance whatsoever, and Lu Li's divine sense inevitably came into contact with Qiu Sheng's territory.
Himiko about to remind them that it was best not to provoke both sides at the same time.
But Lu Li wasn't afraid; he wanted to tease the woman, so he directly channeled his divine sense and Indestructible Will to attack her.
You're asking for it!
The tigress truly exploded at the slightest touch, and having located Lu Li's position, she charged straight towards him along the Spiritual Vein!
Himiko a pang of bitterness in her heart and prepared for battle.
Meanwhile, in another Core Earth Void, two Western Heavenly Monarch dressed in ancient Roman attire wore triumphant smiles.
