"Of course, I, your senior, am determined to become the God of Forging. Crafting these things is a piece of cake!"
Feeling flattered by Lin Tianming's praise, Mo Jinghong couldn't help but get a bit carried away.
Although she didn't know what the future would hold, she would always strive towards her set goal.
Thinking of their mission, Mo Jinghong quickly calmed down from the elation caused by Lin Tianming's praise.
"Alright, Junior Tianming, stay close to me. With the Exorcism Pearl protecting us from the demonic aura and the Black Gauze Jade hiding our presence and aura, we will definitely reach Lava Demon Mountain safely!"
With that, Mo Jinghong continued to lead Lin Tianming forward.
As they ventured deeper into the Land of Calamity, they could no longer see any landmarks of Kyushu behind them. All around were landscapes filled with corrosion, mountains, and other terrains typical of the Land of Calamity.
Moreover, the further they went, the more numerous the terrifying demonic creatures without fixed forms became.
Perhaps because they had not yet reached the heart of the Land of Calamity, most of the demonic creatures were not of high level.
But as Lin Tianming and Mo Jinghong delved deeper, the low-level demonic creatures became fewer.
Unconsciously, Lin Tianming could already see some high-level demonic creatures around him that he couldn't fathom.
Although Lin Tianming possessed the Hand of God and could even slay top-tier demonic creatures, facing so many of them at once, he knew that if he exhausted his strength to show off in front of Mo Jinghong, he would certainly die afterward.
It seemed that even with the Hand of God, he had to be cautious in this demonic paradise!
"Junior Tianming, we need to be more careful from now on. See that mountain ahead with flowing lava? That's Lava Demon Mountain! Our goal is to explore and seek treasures, not to fight these creatures head-on. Avoid battles if possible!"
Mo Jinghong's reminder echoed in his ears, and he nodded slightly, already having no intention of acting recklessly.
Following Mo Jinghong further, Lin Tianming cast his gaze towards the ever-closer Lava Demon Mountain.
Flowing scorching lava spread like veins throughout the entire mountain, converging into pools of lava at the foot of the mountain.
The closer they got to Lava Demon Mountain, the more intense the demonic aura became.
So, this is Lava Demon Mountain?
Lin Tianming squinted his eyes, raising his guard as they approached their destination.
Although Mo Jinghong's Exorcism Pearl and Black Gauze Jade ensured their safety, unexpected events could still happen.
For safety, Lin Tianming prepared himself for any sudden battles that might arise.
Soon, Lin Tianming and Mo Jinghong reached the foot of Lava Demon Mountain.
"Before I returned to the capital from the Land of Calamity, I scouted here. The mountain is steep, with only this one entrance to the top."
Following Mo Jinghong's gaze, Lin Tianming saw the only path leading to the top of Lava Demon Mountain.
However, two high-level Flame Demons guarded this only path.
Additionally, a closed stone gate blocked their way up the mountain.
"Your Black Gauze Jade can conceal our aura, but with this gate blocking us, how do we get up?"
Mo Jinghong remained confident: "Naturally, we open the gate and go up!"
Lin Tianming was about to say that opening the gate would surely alarm the Flame Demons when he sensed someone approaching.
Mo Jinghong also quickly noticed someone nearing them and warned Lin Tianming.
"Be careful, Junior Tianming, someone is approaching us!"
Without her reminder, Lin Tianming had already sensed it, and both retreated immediately.
Expecting demonic creatures to have seen through their disguise, they prepared to attack, but to their surprise, several human awakeners appeared in their sight.
Judging by their state, these people hadn't noticed Lin Tianming and Mo Jinghong and were heading straight for the mountain entrance.
Exchanging a glance, Lin Tianming and Mo Jinghong tacitly held back their urge to attack.
As expected, these awakeners passed by without noticing them and headed for the entrance, launching an attack on the two high-level Flame Demons.
These awakeners were high-level, here to seek opportunities in Lava Demon Mountain.
However, their attire and appearance didn't resemble those from Kyushu.
"These outfits… they should be from the Central Holy Domain. I guess they are also here to seek opportunities in Lava Demon Mountain, like us."
Lin Tianming was a bit surprised: "Central Holy Domain?"
"Yes, this Lava Demon Mountain is located in the Land of Calamity, closest to both Kyushu and the Central Holy Domain. It's normal for awakeners from the Central Holy Domain to come exploring."
While Lin Tianming and Mo Jinghong talked, the people from the Central Holy Domain swiftly killed the two high-level Flame Demons guarding the entrance.
"Are these Central Holy Domain awakeners really this strong?"
Amazed by their strength, Lin Tianming had just praised them when several demonic hands emerged from the tightly closed gate and crushed the awakeners instantly.
Seeing this, Lin Tianming's pupils contracted.
Despite these Central Holy Domain awakeners easily killing high-level Flame Demons, they were instantly crushed by the demonic hands from the gate.
This showed just how terrifying the power of the gate was!
Lin Tianming asked Mo Jinghong beside him: "Senior Jinghong, did you anticipate that the gate would release demonic hands when you came before?"
"No, I only scouted around the area before. This is my first time exploring Lava Demon Mountain."
Mo Jinghong shook her head, making Lin Tianming take a deep breath again.
But then, Mo Jinghong changed her tone.
"However, my Exorcism Pearl can dispel the demonic power on the gate. With the two Flame Demons gone, let's go up before more creatures come!"
With that, Mo Jinghong quickly walked towards the gate.
Lin Tianming followed immediately.
In his sight, the Exorcism Pearl in Mo Jinghong's hand released a strong power, forcefully dispelling the demonic aura on the gate, turning it into an ordinary stone gate.
"Your turn, Junior Tianming. I'll dispel the demonic aura, and you use your thunder to break the gate!"
After successfully dispelling the demonic aura, Mo Jinghong looked at Lin Tianming and winked.
Lin Tianming nodded, stomping the ground.
Thunder Stomp!
Under the power of Thunder Stomp, the now ordinary stone gate shattered into pieces instantly.
A path leading higher up Lava Demon Mountain appeared before Lin Tianming and Mo Jinghong.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Before the noise attracted more demonic creatures, Lin Tianming and Mo Jinghong quickly ascended the mountain.
Shortly after Lin Tianming and Mo Jinghong left, a black-robed woman emitting an aura similar in color to the demonic aura, yet without any eerie feeling, arrived at the gate.
Ignoring the demonic creatures disturbed and investigating the area, the black-robed woman, exuding dark primordial energy, passed through them like a shadow, heading towards the summit.
"This life, I must obtain the opportunity I missed in my previous life and become stronger than I was. Only then can I survive the incredibly dark future ahead!"
