Yu Tong Tian Xian walked into the mechanism.
Her subordinates quickly followed.
Just as Su Han had said, the stone statues came to life and attacked them.
Yu Tong Tian Xian's attacks landed on the stone statues but couldn't shatter them. However, her attacks did clear a path, allowing her subordinates to quickly pass through the mechanism. The attacks from these mechanisms were strong enough to injure cultivators at the tribulation stage.
It was precisely because of Yu Tong Tian Xian's strength that she prevented the stone statues' attacks from reaching her subordinates.
Su Han and Daoist Yi Hong also quickly followed behind, dodging the stone statues' attacks.
Daoist Yi Hong launched several attacks, but they had no effect on the stone statues.
Su Han also unleashed several attacks at the soul transformation stage, but they also failed to repel the stone statues.
As one stone statue was about to strike Daoist Yi Hong, Su Han, who was nearby, reached out and pulled him aside, avoiding the attack.
After passing through this mechanism, Yu Tong Tian Xian's subordinate at the tribulation stage had been hit several times and sustained some injuries. After all, Yu Tong Tian Xian's main focus was on her two subordinates at the soul transformation stage.
Meanwhile, Su Han and Daoist Yi Hong, two soul transformation stage cultivators without the protection of a celestial being, were unharmed.
After clearing this stage, they walked for a distance and arrived at the next one.
This time, the challenge was a swarm of insects. Each insect possessed the strength of the soul transformation stage. They were numerous and dense, filling the entire cave and surrounding them completely. They had to constantly kill these insects to advance. During this insect stage, the two soul transformation stage subordinates of Yu Tong Tian Xian were also attacked by many insects and suffered moderate injuries.
Out of the six people, Su Han and Daoist Yi Hong, the two rogue cultivators, were surprisingly unharmed, just like Yu Tong Tian Xian.
"Daoist Su Han, Daoist Yi Hong, your strength is truly impressive. You've come this far and are still unharmed."
Su Han replied, "We were just lucky. The insects and stone statues were mainly focused on you, so their attacks on us were weaker."
As they spoke, they arrived at the next stage.
Upon entering, they saw three balls of flame, each containing a treasure chest.
Daoist Yi Hong exclaimed, "Daoist Su Han, look, there's a treasure chest in the flame!"
Yu Tong Tian Xian also noticed the danger. She extended her hand, and a stream of spiritual power flew out. Upon contact with the flame, the flame flared up, directly severing Yu Tong Tian Xian's spiritual power.
Daoist Yi Hong said in surprise, "These flames are so fierce? They even repelled a celestial being's attack?"
Yu Tong Tian Xian frowned. She waved her hand again, and a crimson ribbon magical treasure flew out, colliding with the flames. The flames continued to rise, blocking the attack of the magical treasure.
At this moment, the flames seemed to be provoked. They splashed outward and, as if with sentience, descended upon the six individuals.
These flames could even push aside the attacks of a celestial being. Naturally, they dared not let the flames land on themselves. They all dodged.
Suddenly, a strong, oppressive force appeared around them, restricting everyone's movements.
In that instant, the flames landed on them.
"Ah!"
"So hot..."
Yu Tong Tian Xian's subordinate at the soul transformation stage and the one at the tribulation stage cried out in pain as they were engulfed by the fire.
Su Han saw that the soul transformation stage subordinate wasn't immediately burned to death, so he allowed the flames to land on himself.
When the flames fell upon him, Su Han first felt pain, then hallucinations.
Su Han maintained his consciousness, resisting the hallucinations. The others nearby, including Daoist Yi Hong, had already succumbed to them.
The flames on Daoist Yi Hong's body grew larger and quickly engulfed him. Beside him, one of Yu Tong Tian Xian's soul transformation stage subordinates had already been burned to death.
Su Han walked to Daoist Yi Hong's side, placed a hand on him, and infused him with spiritual power to prevent him from dying there.
Meanwhile, another of Yu Tong Tian Xian's soul transformation stage subordinates was also burned to death. The remaining subordinate at the tribulation stage had fallen into a hallucination and was completely unaware of the outside world.
Yu Tong Tian Xian, however, was using a magical treasure to augment herself and could briefly maintain her consciousness, though she was in a state of dizziness.
Seeing that Yu Tong Tian Xian was struggling against the flames, Su Han ignored her and focused on circulating his spiritual power to expel the flames from his body.
However, these flames were fueled by spiritual power. The more Su Han circulated his spiritual power, the more the flames intensified.
Su Han could only compress his spiritual power into his body. This place could be considered a mechanism, and if it could be broken, the flames would surely be extinguished.
At this time, Yu Tong Tian Xian was still fighting against the flames. Daoist Yi Hong was now unconscious. Su Han was the only one still capable of movement.
Su Han observed the three treasure chests. The flames around the treasure chests had halved. Since the flames weren't directly burning people to ashes, there was still a chance.
Su Han walked to one of the treasure chests and reached out to touch the flame. Immediately, a phản lực surged, pushing Su Han back two steps.
Su Han prepared himself and reached into the flames again. When the flames rushed towards him, Su Han, now ready, resisted the impact and continued to push his hand deeper.
After a struggle with the flames, Su Han's hand finally entered the flames and touched the treasure chest.
Su Han grabbed the treasure chest and pulled it out.
Upon obtaining the treasure chest, Su Han opened it.
Inside lay a magical treasure.
It was a cover.
A cover? Su Han picked it up and infused it with spiritual power, then understood how to use it.
"So this is how it's used."
Su Han tossed the magical treasure. The cover fell upon Daoist Yi Hong, and the flames on his body slowly extinguished.
Although the flames were extinguished, Daoist Yi Hong remained unconscious.
At this point, even Yu Tong Tian Xian, who was nearby, was in a dazed state.
Yu Tong Tian Xian, in a dazed state, said with difficulty, "You, who are you...?"
Su Han ignored Yu Tong Tian Xian and proceeded to open the second chest.
