Treasure Vault Level 2, Lava Golem

Chapter 88 The Second Level of the Treasure Vault, Lava Golems

"How much do you know about this Void Emperor?" Gu Ce asked.

"This Void Emperor was a powerful figure who was active 100,000 years ago. At that time, Yao Guang Main City was called Void Emperor Main City. After the Void Emperor's fall, my grandfather was appointed to come here as the city lord. It was also at that time that my Yao Guang family gradually developed," said the second son of Yao Guang.

One day in the Seven Flames Palace is roughly equivalent to ten Earth days, and 100,000 years can be converted into 100 eras, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the lifespan of a Realm Lord, and that's long enough.

"According to my grandfather, the Void Emperor's personality seemed to be very unconventional, and he was the kind of person who was extremely playful. That's why he placed all his treasures here before his fall. But the Void Emperor's Decree was only spread recently, and I don't know why," Yao Guang's second son recalled.

"Did he fail to break through to the Saint God realm?" Gu Ce asked.

"Breakthrough to the Holy God level?" Yao Guang's second son asked in surprise.

"The number of Saints is fixed. It is impossible for anyone to reach the realm of a Saint. The peak of the Realm Lord level is the limit. Therefore, most Realm Lords do not pursue higher realms. After all, as long as you break through to the Realm Lord level, you will have a lifespan of a million years."

"The quantity is fixed?" Gu Ce understood.

This is most likely a control measure employed by Virtual Universe Company.

"We've arrived, let's go take a look." Gu Ce changed the subject.

If the first level of the Void Emperor's Treasury is a plantation, then the second level is a zoo.

Compared to the first level, this place finally resembles a world master. The space is extremely vast, roughly estimated to be at least tens of millions of kilometers in diameter. It is surrounded by a huge grassland where many small animals roam freely, seemingly unafraid of humans.

"Brother, the Void Emperor's Treasury has more than one entrance; there are six in total. We might encounter other people here," said Yao Guang's second son.

Gu Ce nodded slightly; he really didn't know that.

No wonder there were only five people confronting each other over there. It must be the sixth person who came with the Void Emperor's Decree.

Speaking of which, if two people can enter the second level of the Void Emperor's Treasure Vault at the same time, then six people could join forces to enter the second level together and compete for the final treasure.

Gu Ce must prepare for the possibility of these enemies joining forces.

"Are these animals puppets?"

Gu Ce casually grabbed a wild animal that looked like a rabbit, and then he realized something was wrong.

"Hmm." Yao Guang's second son leaned closer to observe for a while, then said with a solemn expression, "The Void Emperor was most skilled in puppetry. He created many puppets that reached the level of a World Lord during his lifetime, and they are very likely stored in this Void Emperor's Treasure Vault. We must be extra careful."

Can the humans of the Seven Flames Palace research and create puppets?

Gu Ce was suspicious.

The mechanical golems are renowned throughout the universe.

The puppet created by the Void Emperor is certainly not as good as the Mechanical Race, but it is still an obstacle to obtaining the Holy Flame.

……

At the center of this second level, there appears to be a tall tower.

Looking into the distance, the silhouette of the tower can be faintly seen.

Gu Ce arrived here with Yao Guang's second son.

The surroundings were deathly silent; not a sound or movement could be heard.

"Watch out, brother!"

The second son of Yao Guang is now more concerned about Gu Ce's safety than Gu Ce himself.

If Gu Ce dies, he won't be able to find the antidote for the Silent Fruit.

Gu Ce cautiously approached the tower. There were no enemies around. When he arrived at the foot of the tower, he found a line of words carved on it.

"This world has three great puppets, whose strength is respectively at the first, second, and third level of the World Lord level. They are my proudest creations. Defeat them and take out their cores, and you can enter the third and final level of the Void Emperor's Treasure Vault."

Next to this line of text is a map marking the locations of the three puppets.

Also.

Around the tower are three stone pillars, two of which already have two puppet cores placed on them.

Gu Ce tried and found that he could not remove it by brute force, so he gave up the idea.

"It seems someone has already beaten us to it," said Yao Guang's second son.

"Yes, only the most difficult one is missing," Gu Ce said.

The remaining one was a puppet at the third rank of the Realm Lord level.

"This Void Emperor is really something, he just has to come up with a whole bunch of tests." Yao Guang's second son couldn't help but complain.

"There's nothing we can do," Gu Ce said helplessly, shaking his head.

He got up and headed towards the location of the last puppet.

……

"Qi Yunxian, I'll give you 20 billion Fireseed Coins, how about you withdraw?"

This is a vast lava lake, the scalding lava radiating heat. Even a single wisp of lava escaping from it would be enough to destroy all life on an ordinary life-bearing planet.

Above the lava lake, two groups of people are facing off in mid-air.

"Puyang Wan, what are you doing here, a member of the Puyang family, getting involved in our commotion?" Qi Yunxian said coldly.

"I've heard that the Void Emperor collected three different kinds of Holy Flame Flames before his death. How about this: after I get my hands on one, I'll give you one?" Puyang Wan said.

Qi Yunxian stopped speaking, seemingly moved.

Seeing this, Puyang Wan was about to continue speaking when he suddenly stopped.

"Wait, there's movement!" Puyang Wan looked at the lava lake below with a solemn expression, as did the two realm lords behind him.

"Boom!"

The lava lake beneath our feet began to boil.

A large amount of high-temperature lava was ejected at extremely high speed. Among the four people behind Qi Yunxian, one of them was accidentally hit and was severely injured. Half of his body was incinerated into black ash by the high temperature of the lava and disappeared.

"Watch out!" Qi Yunxian shouted.

Without his prompting, the people around had already moved away.

Beneath the lava lake, a dark figure gradually rose to its feet.

"Is this a third-tier World Lord level puppet?" Puyang Wan asked stiffly.

"The difference between this and the other two is too great, isn't it?" A realm lord behind him couldn't help but speak up.

"Third-tier World Lord... even some peak World Lords probably only feel this way," another person murmured.

"Whoosh!"

Lava splashed up like water droplets, revealing the towering golem beneath the lava lake in its full form.

This is a colossal creature, tens of thousands of meters tall, covered in a thick layer of rock, with lava flowing through its body. It has four mechanical arms, and its legs are rooted in a lava lake, seemingly absorbing the energy of the lava. Its head is a floating sphere with a 360° field of vision, allowing it to easily spot any enemy. Just one glance is enough to send chills down your spine.

"Bang!"

The lava golem raised its arms, and its four mechanical arms transformed into four cannons, firing lava projectiles at Puyang Wan and Qi Yunxian!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Each shell contained the power of the fundamental law of fire, shattering space and landing on the ground in the distance, turning into a small lava lake.

Each of these cannonballs is no less powerful than a Realm Lord who has been recognized by the Law of Fire's Origin, launching a full-force attack!

Puyang Wan and Qi Yunxian are both at the third level of the Realm Lord level, but the highest level of the people they brought is only the first level of the Realm Lord level, and there are even Domain Lords among them. If they were to take this attack head-on, they would either die or be crippled.

"Qi Yunxian, join forces!" Puyang Wan shouted loudly, disregarding everything else.

Qi Yunxian's expression was not good. She raised her hand and sent a jet of water shooting into the sky, but it was like a tickle to the lava golem. It couldn't cause any damage to its shell.

This lava golem definitely possesses the combat power of a high-level World Lord!
