Chapter 354 Flame Demon Revival_2
Lu Heng saw her being chased around by the Shadow Demon and didn't know if she could handle it, so he casually asked, "Can you manage?"
Su Muyu had just used her crossbow to shoot flame arrows at the Shadow Demon, but the damage was negligible.
The Shadow Demon's body structure is very special, consisting of both a material and an energy body.
The outer energy body possesses the characteristics of shadow energy, which inherently is not afraid of flame attacks, making flame attribute skills difficult to effectively harm the Shadow Demon.
When Su Muyu heard Lu Heng ask this, she smiled, changed direction, and brought the Shadow Demon closer to Lu Heng: "Then lend a hand."
Seeing Su Muyu bring the Shadow Demon over, Lu Heng didn't hesitate and swung his sword.
Bang!
The Shadow Demon exploded into an energy group, scattering into the sea.
[Killed a Shadow Demon, absorbed 1000 energy points.]
Only half of the energy was absorbed; the other half was absorbed by Su Muyu.
After being blasted apart, the Shadow Demon released a Shadow Demon Core.
After his sword strike, Lu Heng didn't even glance back and flew across the sea surface, leaving the Shadow Demon Core unattended.
Su Muyu flapped her energy wings, skimmed over the sea, reached into the water, retrieved the Shadow Demon Core that had fallen into the sea, and stored it in her inventory.
The battle on the sea surface was extremely fierce and couldn't be resolved quickly.
At the seal below the Deep Freeze Sea Trench, with Lu Heng and others no longer interfering, Onatu once again subdued the Sea Demons present to join him in breaking the seal.
Not only Onatu, but a Great Demon of the Shadow Race also appeared, rooted on the seal, beginning to release shadow energy to dissolve the seal's energy.
The Sea Demon Priests present, seeing the Great Demon of the Shadow Race breaking the seal, knew something was definitely wrong.
However, they had no choice, as Onatu had just used their children as leverage to force their compliance.
After all, Onatu was an elder of the Sea Demon Clan, familiar with these Sea Demon Priests and aware of their weaknesses.
With no interference from Lu Heng, Onatu stabilized the situation and continued to break the seal.
...
The seal at the Deep Freeze Sea Trench lay over 6000 meters below the sea, too far from the surface.
After Lu Heng's team of thirteen broke through the sea surface, they couldn't know what was happening at the seabed and could only focus fire to first deal with the Shadow Demons.
The battle lasted more than half an hour; Xie Shi'en finally used spiritual power to crush the last Shadow Demon, ending the fight.
Lu Heng quickly asked, "How is the situation below?"
After defeating half of the Shadow Demons, the pressure on the team eased significantly, and Lu Heng had already sent Liu Haiyang to dive down and check the situation on the seabed.
Liu Haiyang dove into the trench 6000 meters deep and witnessed an astonishing scene.
The seal on the ocean floor had been peeled away, and the Great Demon of the Shadow Race was devouring, like flesh and blood, the energy of the seal, tearing and swallowing it down.
The seal cracked open a ten-meter-long fissure, and then the rocks and ground below trembled.
The scene was as if a volcano was about to erupt.
A red glow seeped out from beneath the seal, growing brighter and brighter until it formed a magma flow, erupting from beneath the seal.
Bang!
A loud explosion resounded, the sea churned restlessly, mirroring an undersea volcanic eruption.
Seeing this, Liu Haiyang, suppressing his shock, responded in the communicator, "The seal is broken, something's coming out, the magma is surging out, just like an undersea volcanic eruption."
Hearing this response, Lu Heng felt a jolt in his heart.
They had tried their best to stop it, but ultimately, Onatu had broken the seal.
According to known information, what's suppressed under the seal should be the Flame Demon Gros.
Or rather, part of the Flame Demon Gros's body.
After all, the Black Iron Dwarves hadn't poured all of Gros's embers into the Tidal Sea, so what's sealed here should only be part of the Flame Demon Gros's embers.
Now that the embers of Flame Demon Gros have awakened, it means a terrifying Flame Demon King is about to emerge from the sea floor.
...
Within the Deep Freeze Sea Trench.
Onatu, seeing the magma spurting out, laughed maniacally, "Gros, I'm the one who released you. From now on, you will follow my orders."
The magma continued to surge, quickly cooling into black rock upon encountering the seawater.
However, more magma continued to spurt out, forming a body of magma that merged black and red.
As the flame energy spurting from below the seal increased, the water quickly evaporated, clouds of steam churning upward, filling the sea floor with white bubbles.
This steam was intensely hot, and the surrounding Sea Demons quickly retreated.
Even Onatu had to withdraw a hundred meters, while only the Great Demon of the Shadow Race continued devouring the seal's energy.
The Shadow Demons themselves were not afraid of flame attacks; the steam's heat to them was merely a low-temperature sauna.
Onatu watched as the erupting magma body grew larger, already towering at two hundred meters.
He grew even more excited, repeatedly shouting, "Gros, I'm the one who released you. From now on, you must follow my orders."
Soon after his words fell, a pair of commanding eyes suddenly opened on the magma body emerging from the seal.
The Flame Demon Gros opened its eyes, fully awakening.
It roared towards the sky, spewed a fierce flame, piercing through the sea and shooting straight into the sky.
After this roar, it looked down at Onatu below, saying coldly, "You dare command me?"
As soon as the words fell, the Flame Demon Gros raised its hand and released a chain of magma, binding Onatu.
The surrounding Sea Demons, seeing this scene, immediately realized something was wrong and turned to flee.
However, it was too late.
The Flame Demon Gros stomped the ground fiercely, the earth trembled, and the ground within a few hundred meters cracked, with red light seeping from the fissures.
Gushes of magma erupted from the fissures, instantly engulfing hundreds of nearby Sea Demon Warriors.
The Sea Demon Warriors struggled in the magma, but to no avail; they were soon engulfed in flames.
These flames didn't extinguish upon contact with the seawater.
Once the Sea Demon Warriors were set ablaze, their eyes glowed with flames, and they raised their tridents in worship of the Flame Demon Gros.
Seeing this, Liu Haiyang was even more shocked and quickly said over the communication channel: "Something's wrong, the Flame Demon Gros has emerged. It released magma that engulfed a group of Sea Demon Warriors. These warriors caught on fire but didn't die and started worshiping the Flame Demon Gros."
Upon hearing this information, Lu Heng's expression became more grave, and he said:
"That's a Flame Demon Puppet, so any creature burned to death by the Flame Demon's fire becomes a Flame Demon Puppet, obeying its commands.
"You need to get out of the sea floor quickly, and don't touch the Flame Demon's fire!"
As soon as he finished speaking.
Liu Haiyang noticed the ground below the sea floor cracking, with red light seeping from the fissures.
Fortunately, he was alert and immediately burst at maximum speed, swimming upwards.
Magma surged from the fissures, coiling like chains towards Liu Haiyang.
Liu Haiyang, utilizing the full extent of his [Deep Sea Lord] abilities, sped at a hundred kilometers per hour, finally evading the magma chains and reaching a safe position.
The team members heard his earlier exclamation and quickly asked, "How is it? Do you need support?"
