Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1323 - 1257: Purgatory Volcano
Soon, the massive tail collided with the Divine Ship!
"Boom" The Divine Ship slightly trembled, as if it had hit an iceberg. Everyone on the deck staggered, taking several steps forward to stabilize themselves.
However, the Divine Ship was extremely sturdy and didn’t suffer any damage, continuing to speed forward.
The massive tail slowly dipped into the black ocean and disappeared.
"This monster is terrifying, it shows such power with just its tail!" Pharaoh said in a deep voice.
"There are more ahead, look!" Heavenly Dao stretched out his hand, pointing forward. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶
In the depths of the black ocean ahead, huge monsters were faintly visible, floating and sinking. They didn’t reveal their full forms, only occasionally showing a tentacle or tail on the surface, causing the sea water to churn incessantly.
Occasionally, some huge monsters fought fiercely in the ocean, blood splattered, various limbs and pieces flying about, turning the sea upside down.
This is hardly an ocean—it’s more like a pool breeding monsters, with an unknowable number of huge beasts dwelling and battling within.
Without this Ancient Godship, even if they escaped these black waters, they couldn’t evade the enormous monsters.
"Hiss hiss~" At that moment, huge monsters resembling eels appeared ahead, with long, slippery bodies sliding through the water, mouths lined with large suction cups.
One swiftly charged towards the Divine Ship, its suction cup mouth firmly attaching to it like a massive leech, dragging down the ship’s speed.
More monsters became aware of the Divine Ship and swam over, their raised sections densely packed, causing hearts to race in fear.
"Looks like I need to handle this manually." Thunder God remarked, his silhouette flickering before disappearing from the deck, heading to the control room.
Afterwards, the Divine Ship’s trajectory became erratic, with frequent extreme turns and sudden accelerations.
On the deck, everyone felt as if they were riding a roller coaster, thrillingly traversing through gaps between giant monsters, occasionally brushing past sharp teeth and claws.
Finally, after a turbulent voyage, the Ancient Godship, amidst the monsters’ pursuit, dashed onto the rocky beachfront at the foot of Purgatory Mountain.
The monsters behind finally stopped, intimidatingly watching Purgatory Mountain with giant eyes, roaring reluctantly before retracting into the black ocean.
Only then did everyone jump off the ship, turning back to look at the expanse of black ocean with lingering fear.
Thunder God emerged from the control room, with a wave of his hand, he retracted the Ancient Godship.
Ahead of everyone now stood the towering Purgatory Mountain.
Purgatory Mountain seemed even taller than when they viewed it across the sea, filled with countless terrains and features from the mountain base to the cloud-covered and thunder-shadowed midsection. A rough glance revealed forests, lakes, deserts, grasslands, snowfields, volcanoes, cities, caves, and more, resembling a miniature world.
Everyone knew that the Heavenly Demon was somewhere on that mountain!
Nonetheless, due to the immense size of Purgatory Mountain, even knowing he is there, the chance of encountering him is exceedingly slim, unless both parties head straight for the same Boss, increasing the likelihood of a meeting.
"Let’s go!" Huang Yi said, leading the climb towards the mountain top.
After journeying for a while, a volcanic lava area appeared ahead. Streams of red magma poured down like blood from the ground. Some older streams had cooled and solidified into black stones, yet within the cracks, dark red magma was still visible beneath.
Without flight capability, everyone had to advance on foot through the magma.
"This might not be ordinary magma; let me send a soul to scout ahead first." Abigail said, waving her hand to release a semi-transparent soul.
Like the previous soul, this one was also shackled and chained, continuously emitting haunting wails.
Abigail pointed towards the volcanic area ahead, and the wailing soul stumbled forward.
The soul first climbed onto cooled black lava stones, showing no abnormal behavior.
Suddenly, the soul’s foot sank into a crack of black lava stone, touching the dark red magma beneath, letting out a piercing scream!
The foot that made contact with the magma melted away.
Abigail decisively directed the soul to plunge directly into the boiling magma ahead, and amidst sharp, ear-piercing screams, the soul rapidly burned into nothingness.
"This is indeed no ordinary magma," Abigail said solemnly.
But ahead lies a vast volcanic area, especially in its core region, where all there is is boiling magma, with no place to set foot at all.
Moreover, the volcanic area stretches endlessly on both sides, making it impossible to bypass; the only option is to cross through.
"The key to this region should be on those already cooled lava stones," said the Pope, stroking his chin and gazing at the vast expanse of boiling magma, pondering, "If we can find a way to cool this magma, it will be easier to cross."
"Let me try the water cooling method!" The Thunder God said, pointing his finger towards the magma ahead, like a general rallying the soldiers behind him to charge forward.
The next moment, the sound of galloping suddenly echoed!
In the void appeared transparent Marine Knights, wearing armor made of seawater, holding long spears made of seawater, mounted on transparent sea horses, charging majestically towards the magma ahead, with the sound of hooves causing the earth to tremble slightly.
This troop of Marine Knights rushed headlong into the volcanic area ahead, but upon touching the red magma, they could no longer maintain their form and evaporated into white mist, disappearing into the air.
Yet the magma remained red and boiling, unaffected by the slightest cooling.
The Thunder God shook his head regretfully, saying, "The water cooling method doesn’t work! This magma is too strange. Even after my Marine Knights die, they transform into a large amount of seawater, but this seawater has no cooling effect on this magma."
Everyone fell silent, staring at the red magma, pondering a solution.
"Could it be that your seawater is too ordinary?" At this moment, Huang Yi suddenly spoke, "Ordinary water can’t cool this strange magma, but what if it’s equally strange seawater?"
After speaking, Huang Yi glanced back at the black ocean they came from, and said softly, "If we use that peculiar black seawater to cool this strange magma, it should be effective!"
"Good idea! But that black seawater is untouchable, how can we get it? Moreover, the volcanic area is vast, requiring a large amount of seawater, which ordinary means cannot obtain." Pharaoh said.
"Doesn’t the Thunder God have water-based methods? His Sea God’s Pillar Divine Artifact seems capable of absorbing seawater! When it ascended as a Divine Artifact, it absorbed a lot of seawater, causing the sea level in The Second World to drop significantly." Abigail turned to look at the Thunder God.
The Thunder God stroked the Sea God’s Pillar in his hand and said helplessly, "My Sea God’s Pillar can indeed absorb seawater, but it has already absorbed a large amount of seawater from The Second World for storage, which is the power source of this Divine Artifact and cannot be contaminated. If I absorb that black seawater, the stored seawater in this artifact will be ruined."
At this point, Huang Yi suddenly thought of something and said, "Let me try."
After saying this, he rushed back towards the seaside.
Upon reaching the seaside, Huang Yi waved his hand, summoning an old Contract Partner.
This is a Demonic God Clone, shaped like a gigantic octopus, with numerous touch-covered suction cups on its arms.
It is called Water Demon!
Water Demon is a God Sealer from the Third World. His true form is a deep-sea octopus, and because he devoured an SS-class treasure called "Deep Sea Jade Paste" in the deep sea, his power surged, eventually attaining divine enshrinement, entering the Demon Realm to become one of the 108 Great Demon Gods. Water Demon excels in water magic, with combat power strongest in the water, possessing various water-based abilities.
When Huang Yi’s reincarnation in the Singapore continent ended, and he headed to the Central Continent, it was this Water Demon Clone that attracted the huge deep-sea demon flesh.
"Water Demon, try absorbing this black seawater and storing it within yourself. Be sure not to approach the deep sea; it’s dangerous over there." Huang Yi pointed to the black ocean ahead and commanded the Water Demon.
"Got it! Master!" The Water Demon wriggled its tentacles and quickly crawled into the black ocean, all its suction cups opening up, fully absorbing the black seawater.
When the Water Demon touched the black seawater, it didn’t react adversely; it has always been an extraordinary marine creature, impervious to harm from this black seawater.
After absorbing for a while, the Water Demon finally returned, its belly not visibly larger; it seemed the seawater was stored differently.
"Let’s go back!" Huang Yi said, leading the Water Demon back to the volcanic area.
As they arrived at the front of the volcanic area where everyone was, everyone’s eyes were solely on the Water Demon, filled with curiosity.
"Water Demon, lead the way ahead, and use the black seawater you’ve absorbed to cool off this magma!" Huang Yi commanded!
The Water Demon immediately obeyed, wriggling its tentacles, crawling into the volcanic area ahead.
Its suction cups constantly sprayed out the absorbed black seawater, pouring it onto the boiling magma.
Once the black seawater hit the magma, it instantly cooled and solidified, turning into black stone.
