Chapter 830: Chapter 439: Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Suddenly, Gu Sheng vaguely saw a shadow flash in the distance within the seventh layer!
Upon seeing this, Gu Sheng instinctively wanted to explore further.
"Sizzle!"
Just as Gu Sheng moved forward, he was instantly blocked by blazing fire.
Gu Sheng retreated instantly.
But as soon as he retreated, the flames disappeared instantly.
It seemed these flames could sense external forces.
Realizing this, Gu Sheng’s Life Spring vibrated, forming a protective layer of vapor.
Feeling he was adequately prepared, Gu Sheng cautiously stepped forward again.
"Sizzle!"
But as soon as he moved forward, the flames regenerated, and the vapor protective layer vanished instantly.
"What! This..."
Gu Sheng was momentarily stunned.
He believed he had reached the Other Shore Realm, capable of withstanding the power of the seventh layer.
But it seemed he couldn’t advance even a step!
Retreat?
Suddenly, the thought of retreating from the seventh layer occurred to Gu Sheng.
If he retreated to the barrier set by Ji Hui, he believed that with his cultivation in the Other Shore Realm, he could do it.
"Hmm, a wise man knows when to retreat! Retreat!"
Gu Sheng said, and immediately turned to leave the seventh layer of the Fire Domain.
"Bang!"
But as soon as he turned, Gu Sheng almost banged his nose hard enough to draw blood.
"Ah... damn it..."
Gu Sheng rubbed his nose, looking speechless.
He originally believed he had reached the Other Shore Realm, enough to tackle the challenges of the seventh layer of the Fire Domain.
But reality had dealt him a heavy blow.
He found himself trapped here, unable to move forward or backward.
"Am I really going to be trapped here?"
Anxiety surged in Gu Sheng’s heart.
If he couldn’t find a solution quickly, he might end up trapped here.
"Hoo..."
Gu Sheng took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind.
Panic at this moment would only lead to chaos in his thoughts.
So he had to remain calm and find a way to solve the problem.
Gu Sheng looked around and found the environment of the seventh layer of the Fire Domain even harsher than he anticipated.
High temperatures, fierce winds, dark fires...
Each was an insurmountable obstacle.
Just as Gu Sheng was in difficulty, the seventh layer of the Fire Domain suddenly changed.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Gusts of fiery wind formed in the seventh layer, with tremendous power and blazing flames.
Gu Sheng focused his eyes, and it seemed that the so-called fiery wind was composed of living creatures.
Then Gu Sheng observed carefully.
"Crows! No! They are living fire crows!"
Gu Sheng exclaimed in his heart.
The bodies of these fire crows were entirely made of flames, and their eyes glinted with a bloodthirsty light, flying towards Gu Sheng.
Startled, Gu Sheng understood that the attacks from these fire crows were not simple.
As the fire crows drew closer, Gu Sheng immediately used his Heavenly Gang Seven Star Steps.
In an instant, his figure flitted like a phantom along the edges of the seventh layer of the Fire Domain, trying to evade the mass of fire crows.
However, with dark fires emerging ahead, Gu Sheng couldn’t advance and had little space to evade.
Simultaneously, the attacks from the fire crows became more fierce.
The temperature was also becoming unbearable for Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng felt the pressure mounting...
Desperate, Gu Sheng quickly summoned his cauldron, trying to dodge the attacks from the fire crows.
After summoning the cauldron, Gu Sheng hurriedly hid inside it.
The flock of fire crows seemed to realize Gu Sheng’s intention and their attacks intensified.
"Caw, caw, caw!"
They emitted sharp cries, launching a frenzied attack on Gu Sheng’s cauldron.
"Clang, clang, clang..."
The fire crows recklessly rammed their beaks against the cauldron, causing sharp sounds.
Gu Sheng initially thought he was safe, but unexpectedly, each strike from the fire crows sharply increased the cauldron’s temperature.
Gradually, the cauldron began to creak, as if it might explode at any moment.
"This..."
Gu Sheng knew he couldn’t sit idly by, sensing the fire crows were detecting his presence.
Subsequently, Gu Sheng unleashed his Great Void Skill.
Reciting the spell, Gu Sheng immediately hid within the void inside the cauldron.
Outside, the fire crows couldn’t sense Gu Sheng’s presence, seemingly losing their target, and their attacks gradually ceased.
When the sounds of attack stopped, the temperature inside the cauldron slowly decreased.
Once the temperature was bearable, Gu Sheng flashed out from the void.
He saw that his cauldron was already showing signs of cracking.
"You damned beasts, you’re really ruthless. This cauldron, which I’ve crafted for so long, was almost pecked apart by you!"
Gu Sheng cursed silently in his heart.
The cauldron had been shattered before and was reforged.
If it were to be damaged here, that would be a disaster!
Gu Sheng looked around, noticing that the dark fires in the seventh layer continued to emerge.
An idea popped into his head, a bold thought emerged in his mind.
If he could use the dark fire here to refine the artifact, perhaps he could repair and even enhance the cauldron’s quality.
After all, this Fire Domain was a place for artifact refining.
It’s top-notch for enhancing the quality of divine artifacts!
Once the quality of the cauldron improved, he could hide inside it, maneuvering to escape the seventh layer of the Fire Domain.
"Hoo..."
With this thought, Gu Sheng took a deep breath, beginning to mobilize the Mystic Yellow Qi within him.
At the same time, he maneuvered the cauldron forward.
"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"
As the cauldron moved, dark fire erupted suddenly.
Gu Sheng cautiously controlled the temperature and intensity of the flames, allowing the cauldron to slowly temper in the fire.
Suddenly, the fire crows attacked again.
Helpless, Gu Sheng evaded the attack of the flock of fire crows using the same method.
However, the subsequent attacks were not as intense as the first time.
The cauldron’s damage was also not as severe as before.
