Entering the Elemental Volcano

"Sir, may I ask what brings you to the Abyss this time?"

The Elemental Saint Dragon ultimately chose not to attack, but it also did not submit. Instead, it treated Old Wang as an equal and began to talk to him.

"Are you the Fifth Demon God of the Abyss? Chen Long... no, are you the Elemental Saint Dragon?" Old Wang asked instead of answering its question.

"Chen Long, it's been so many years since I've heard that name, but it doesn't seem like it's been that long."

"After all, I only stayed here a short time before I turned into that state, but I still miss it a little!" said the Elemental Saint Dragon.

"My lord, you've really recovered!" Yinash, who was kneeling beside him, suddenly asked excitedly.

"Yes, thank you for your help over the years," said the Elemental Saint Dragon.

"No... no trouble at all, I'm glad you've recovered," Yinash said, his voice slightly choked with emotion.

As it spoke, a tear rolled down its cheek, and Old Wang quickly caught it with something.

Elemental Saint Dragon:(.)

Yinash:(.)

They looked at Old Wang, completely bewildered. "What are you doing? You've completely confused me! Where were we just now?"

"This thing is called Elemental Tear. It's a very useful material, and I'm afraid I'll waste it," Old Wang said.

Looking at the Elemental Tear shimmering with iridescent light in his hand, Old Wang was surprised to find that this Yinash was also Mythic- level weapon.

It seems he needs to reassess the strength of the Abyss; the Abyss definitely has more than just 12 Mythic- level Demon God.

The Elemental Saint Dragon and the Yinash, whose emotions had been interrupted by Old Wang, stopped their emotional appeals and asked Old Wang again about his purpose.

After thinking for a moment, Old Wang dismissed the other elements and told them about his discovery.

If the Elemental Saint Dragon wasn't just putting on an act, then it would be the only one of the Twelve Demon Gods that Demon God Old Wang could trust.

It's like the game of Werewolf, where the identities are already revealed.

With its current level of intelligence, it shouldn't be able to come up with such a complex problem.

Neither Yinash nor the Elemental Saint Dragon Daoren surprised that Old Wang could command the elements; this man could command even them, let alone the other elements.

What they cared about was Old Wang's words: someone in the Abyss had ulterior motives this time, which was a momentous event.

"Although I was in a daze before, I remember some of the things that happened at the meeting. It was the fourth and sixth brothers who proposed this plan," said the Elemental Saint Dragon.

"The Fourth Demon God is a master of formations in the Abyss, Sixth Demon God is a unique possessor of Abyss attributes. If it is one of them, it is indeed not easy to be discovered," Yinash.

"If what you say is true, there are people behind them. The fourth and sixth brothers have always been at odds, and not many people know this!" Elemental Saint Dragon.

As for why they don't get along, it's because they are natural enemies.

The Abyssal Demon Snake used to feed on the Elusive Spirit Rabbit, but after the rise of the Fourth Demon God, it almost wiped out the entire Abyssal Demon Snake race. It would be a miracle if they could still be at peace with each other.

"Could it be the Second Demon God? It's the only one that can freely enter and exit between the two realms, so it's impossible that it doesn't know about the Void, right?" Yinash asked.

"I don't know. Although the second one appears to be a treacherous villain, he's not inherently bad," Elemental Saint Dragon.

"You trust me that much?" Old Wang asked, looking at the two men.

"Just as you can sense our thoughts, we can sense yours too. Although it's not very useful, we can still distinguish between truth and falsehood in your words," Elemental Saint Dragon.

"Is that so? Actually, I have a way to investigate. The people behind the scenes must have used Spatial Rift to travel to our world."

And where the battle with one of our senses took place, our expert repelled it.

It was injured, but it may have recovered by now. However, the aura left by our expert is very difficult to dispel.

"If we find this person, we should be able to determine who's behind it all!" Old Wang.

After Old Wang finished speaking, the Elemental Saint Dragon and the Yinash exchanged a glance, and then the Elemental Saint Dragon said:

"I'll keep an eye on it! But right now I need to deal with the Elemental Volcano problem. Would you like to come with me?"

"Okay," Old Wang nodded.

Old Wang was also very interested in this Elemental Volcano, which, according to records, was the birthplace of Abyssal Element.

Elemental Creature are almost extinct in the Starry Sky, with only a few Elemental Creature in a few places. Old Wang wants to see if it's because there's also a problematic Elemental Volcano in the Starry Sky.

Without further ado, the three of them headed straight for the Elemental Volcano after Old Wang agreed.

This volcano is very high, so high that it took Old Wang and his companions quite a while to reach the summit.

The crater pierces the sky, above the clouds, and not far above lies the Demon God Realm.

However, the crater was small, only a few hundred meters in size, and it continuously emitted colorful smoke. This smoke was made of pure Elemental Power and could not obstruct the three people's vision.

Inside the crater is a constantly swirling solid fluid of Elemental Power, a sign that the Elemental Power has become extremely concentrated.

Once this state cools down, it becomes Elemental Crystal, and it appears to be of a fairly high grade.

If it weren't for these three, and instead a Normal Elemental Race Epic stood here, it would probably be assimilated and disappear in no time.

Of course, if it weren't Elemental Race, it would be even worse off; the massive Elemental Energy radiation would cause it an incredibly painful death.

This extremely concentrated energy is a deadly poison for most people.

But it's different for Old Wang. Old Wang can clearly feel himself improving here, and he can also hear faint cries for help coming from below the crater.

"Did you hear any cries for help?" Old Wang asked the Elemental Saint Dragon and the Yinash.

They looked at each other again, then shook their heads together.

"Alright, let's go down and take a look!" Old Wang said, and jumped straight into the crater.

"..."

"Isn't this our home? Why is he acting so naturally?" The Elemental Saint Dragon turned to ask Yinash.

Yinash: "... How should I know? I haven't been here before because of you, but I feel we should catch up!"

"You're right, let's go!"

Beneath the Elemental Volcano, Old Wang and his two companions struggled to swim through the elements and slowly reached the bottom of the volcano.

Before long, everyone saw a huge sphere of Elemental Energy, which made even the enormous elemental Dragon appear tiny.

"Gurgle... cough cough spit!"

This is the core of the Elemental Volcano; all Elemental Energy emanates from here.

"When I was sick before, I tried to take it out for a checkup, but I failed and it seems I even hurt it. It's not working much anymore," the Elemental Saint Dragon said somewhat awkwardly.

Old Wang looked at the energy ball in front of him and felt something was wrong. Before he could pinpoint what was wrong, Yinash spoke first:

"Something's not right! This so-called core contains far too little energy!"

"Yes! That's exactly the feeling," Old Wang immediately understood upon hearing this.

Since this is the core of Elemental Volcano, how could it contain only slightly more energy than Elemental Lava of the same volume?

Upon hearing this, the Elemental Saint Dragon also noticed the anomaly. Although it had come here often before, its intelligence back then made it impossible for it to have noticed this anomaly.

After realizing something was wrong, the three of them began to examine the so-called core in front of them.

Old Wang quickly noticed the anomaly. He reached out and touched the core, drawing out a stream of black energy. Then, the core dissipated.

"This isn't the core of the Elemental Volcano at all; it's just Elemental Lava gathered together by Abyssal Energy. You've been tricked."

"I now even suspect that your failure to fuse with the Abyss attribute was due to someone tampering with it," Old Wang said.

The Elemental Saint Dragon's expression darkened upon hearing Old Wang's words.

"My lord, who suggested that you explore this place back then?" Yinash asked.

"It's the sixth one," the Elemental Saint Dragon.

"Could it really be the one behind it all?" Yinash.

"Whether it is it or not, it cannot escape suspicion," Elemental Saint Dragon.

Having been deceived and fooled for so many years, the Elemental Saint Dragon is now filled with rage.

However, both the Sixth Demon God and the Fourth Demon God had problems, which allowed it to forcibly control them, but also caused it to become somewhat decadent.

If it were just the Sixth Demon God with a problem, it could tear the opponent apart, but two of them wouldn't be a match for it, and right now there might be more than just two with problems.

It can only endure and then wait for an opportunity.

But if given the chance, would I really be able to bring myself to do it...?

"I'll continue to play dumb after we leave here; the Elemental Domain will still be yours," the Elemental Saint Dragon said to Yinash.

"Leave it to me!" Yinash.

"We can talk about that once we get out of here. Let's find the real core first!" Old Wang said.

The two affectionate elements nodded, and then the three of them resumed their search.
