Scorching heat!
As Wang Teng's spiritual power penetrated the cave, it seemed to be engulfed in flames. A searing sensation suddenly coursed through his mind.
However, Wang Teng merely furrowed his brow and continued to let his spiritual power delve deeper into the cavern, showing no intention of retracting it.
To him, this slight burning sensation was nothing noteworthy.
Moreover, he promptly used his Nether Frost to envelop his spirit body, rendering the scorching feeling incapable of reaching him.
He didn't even need to use the Hornless Ice Dragon Pearl.
"Unexpectedly, this cave is so intensely hot!" Wang Teng expressed surprise. It seemed that the Five Elements Mountain was truly extraordinary.
After a brief moment, he withdrew his spiritual power and frowned.
"No!"
Under his spiritual perception, the Black Skull Universe Pirates youth had inexplicably vanished, leaving no trace.
This development caught Wang Teng completely off guard.
"The Heishan Royal Clan has some tricks up their sleeves!" Wang Teng pondered. He stopped hesitating and directly entered the cave.
Since he couldn't find the youth from the Black Skull Universe Pirates outside, waiting would be futile. Entering the cave was a better choice. He believed that they would inevitably cross paths eventually.
The Heishan Royal Clan had gone to great lengths, undoubtedly not just for the ordinary opportunities within the Five Burial Ancestral Grounds.
Initially unaware of their motives, Wang Teng seemed to have grasped a hint after obtaining that scroll.
Speculation was growing in his mind.
This speculation was somewhat astonishing. Wang Teng dared not confirm it now and chose to wait until the final revelation.
Upon entering the cave, Wang Teng's body also experienced intense heat, a sensation seemingly emanating from all directions, enveloping his entire being as if he were immersed in a furnace.
As he delved deeper, the intensity of this scorching sensation increased, not only searing his physical body but also burning his spirit. An ordinary cosmos-stage warrior would likely feel uncomfortable immediately.
Taking a deep breath, he felt as if his body were about to ignite from within.
Wang Teng, relying on the icy power of the Nether Frost, remained unaffected. He swiftly maneuvered through the cave, continuously moving deeper.
Roar!
Suddenly, a roar echoed.
A corner appeared ahead, and a gigantic origin beast engulfed in flames, lunged out from another passage. It opened its massive jaws, biting towards Wang Teng.
Wang Teng abruptly halted, his expression calm. He threw a punch toward the colossal flame-origin beast.
With no one around, he no longer needed to conceal anything. An icy power erupted instantly.
Ice Blast!
This technique could be executed with any weapon but Wang Teng decided to use his fist. It didn't affect the effects of the technique.
Boom!
An explosion echoed. This attack, infused with the power of Nether Frost, unleashed an extremely frigid force, sweeping through.
The flames on the origin beast's body froze instantly, and its massive figure solidified in mid-air, unable to advance any further.
The force of the punch followed, and with a "bang," the frozen origin beast exploded into countless ice fragments.
Wang Teng reached out with one hand, catching a glowing red orb. Upon examination, it was just a cosmos-stage origin beast core. He tossed it directly into the devouring space.
After following the martial warriors from the five major families all the way here, he had already obtained many origin beast cores and was no longer surprised by such finds.
"It seems there are quite a few origin beasts within the Five Elements Mountain!" Wang Teng's gaze flickered slightly, ceasing further contemplation. He observed the surroundings, attempting to discern the direction of his progress.
Within this cavern, the passages crisscrossed in all directions. Just the cave ahead had dozens of forks. If this continued, who knew how many more caves would branch off. Ordinary individuals entering would quickly lose themselves and struggle to find a way out.
"According to the relevant records in that scroll, to locate the central position of the cave, one must rely on the cores of those origin beasts. Once an origin beast core appears, it will autonomously drift towards the cave closest to the central position," Wang Teng's eyes flashed as he took out the origin beast core from earlier. After a moment of contemplation, he released it.
The origin beast core immediately floated up on its own and flew forward.
Wang Teng stared intently at the fountainhead beast core. He couldn't let something he had acquired slip away.
This method might seem straightforward, but not everyone would think of it. With the entrance so vast and the cave so deep, who knew if the origin beast core would drift toward the deepest part of the cave?
The origin beast core hovered for a moment in front of several dozen cave openings before finally floating into one. Wang Teng quickly followed suit.
The origin beast core continued drifting forward.
Wang Teng gradually noticed a problem – the core was depleting.
He looked around at the reddish walls and frowned. Could this cave absorb fountainhead beast cores?
Outside, even if fountainhead beast cores were exposed for a long time, they wouldn't necessarily dissipate.
"If it continues like this, finding the core of this Fire Elements Mountain might require consuming quite a few fountainhead beast cores," Wang Teng muttered to himself.
However, he didn't pay much attention. He would hunt more when needed. This place had an abundance of fountainhead beast cores.
Wang Teng followed the fountainhead beast core as it twisted and turned within the cave. When it was only the size of a candle flame, a faint low growl suddenly emanated from the front.
Roar!
Roar!
Howl!
…
Echoes of deep roars from fountainhead beasts reverberated within the cavern. It wasn't just one or two, but rather a multitude of origin beasts gathering together.
