Under the gaze of countless eyes, a dazzling pillar of red suddenly shot up from the dried lakebed.
At the edge of that brilliant red pillar, waves of churning magma rolled forth. The magma was infused with the vast aura of the Supreme Dao, as well as a terrifying sense of death. Not to mention incomplete cultivator bodies—even a cultivator's divine sense would be devoured by the scorching magma.
Everyone knew this was Chaotic Magma. No matter how much they yearned for it, at this moment, none dared to rush into the Chaotic Magma.
The hundreds of cultivators wielding array flags also retreated frantically. Their already insubstantial forms became even more ghostly under the searing aura of that red pillar.
Several shadow cultivators couldn't withdraw to safety in time. Stimulated by the radiant red pillar, they vanished without a trace.
Yet at this moment, no one cared about that. Almost as soon as the red pillar burst skyward, Charlotte Ling moved, Cyrus Flame moved, and Bianna Poe moved.
Farther away, Joe Di also sprang into action.
Charlotte Ling was overwhelmed with excitement. She hadn’t expected that, without even having time to use a forbidden technique, she could so easily break free of the restriction binding her.
Something felt off, but she had no time to ponder it now. She had to enter the Sacred Sun Pearl at once, then charge into the Chaotic Magma.
Cyrus Flame sprang into action, thrilled that his calculations had been correct. In the split second the Chaotic Magma surged forth, Charlotte Ling really did dash into it. What did that mean? It meant that in the next moment, Charlotte Ling would reveal her treasure and enter within. Otherwise, given her strength, she would surely perish.
Bianna Poe was no less excited than Cyrus Flame. She lunged toward Charlotte Ling, determined to wrap her up in that fleeting moment and land at the edge of the Chaotic Magma.
When the Chaotic Magma erupted, no cultivator could withstand it—even those at the third stage were powerless. Clearly, Charlotte Ling would rather die than let her body be used for someone else's rebirth.
Bianna Poe was both anxious and furious.
What shocked her even more was that, as Charlotte Ling rushed toward the magma, Cyrus Flame—the Sevenfold King—also charged toward it.
Bianna Poe was utterly stunned when Charlotte Ling vanished into the void, then entered a pearl. As soon as the pearl appeared, its vast aura resonated with the chaotic energy of the magma, clearly marking it as a supreme treasure. For Charlotte Ling to dare enter the pearl and plunge into the Chaotic Magma, it meant the pearl was on par with the highest chaotic artifacts.
No matter how slow she was, Bianna Poe had once been a top-tier powerhouse. If she couldn’t understand what was happening now, she’d truly be a fool.
Charlotte Ling and the Sevenfold King each had their own plans, while she was played like a fool.
Bianna Poe clenched her teeth in anger, finally realizing she had overthought things—assuming the Sevenfold King would willingly help her.
Sure enough, Bianna Poe saw the Sevenfold King reach out to grab the pearl.
