Blazing red lava heaved across the ground, wisps of black smoke rising everywhere. Vast quantities of smoke gathered overhead, blotting out the sky.
Ahead lay what looked like a dark subterranean world, with lava as its only source of light.
Before coming, Fang Yun had learned something about the Battle Realm and the Heaven-Splitting Hall. Over the first six thousand li, however, he had felt that the Heaven-Splitting Hall was not particularly difficult. After all, this was a place designed to test the Dragon Race, and the fact that he, a human, could pass through so easily was the best proof. Only when he saw the endless lava before him did he truly realize how frail the human body was.
He had not seen a single figure over the first six thousand li, but in the Lava Land of this seventh thousand li, Fang Yun saw more than thirty water demons. Seven of them lingered at the lava's edge, their bodies covered in burns and their blood vitality depleted.
The Heaven-Splitting Hall was a training ground for the Dragon Race. Even for a Dragon Marquis, the first ten thousand li were little more than a warm-up. Throughout history, no member of the Dragon Race had ever covered fewer than ten thousand li on their first attempt.
However, the Dragon Race were not the only ones allowed into the Heaven-Splitting Hall. Members of the Water Race and a few demon barbarians on friendly terms with the Western Sea Dragon Palace could also enter.
For most Demon Kings and Barbarian Kings, this Lava Land was merely a minor difficulty that they could traverse quickly. For water demons, however, it was practically the netherworld itself.
The lava's temperature exceeded a thousand degrees-hot enough to melt gold and silver!
