Fourth layer of Dusk Palace.
The entire fourth layer has turned into a hell of flas, the surface layer of rock has lted from the high temperature, becoming a layer of lava.
Drip, drip...
Scorching red liquid dripped from the ceiling of the fourth layer, even the ceiling started to turn into lava.
The air twisted, seemingly burned through by 6000 points of true damage caused by solar fla; the blinding dark red light instinctively forces one to squint, every breath here feels like torture.
contractors from Apocalypse Paradise perished here; the only evidence of their existence is the floating specks in the air.
If you were to asure the temperature of the fourth layer at this mont, it’d be at least above 2000 degrees, even though Apollo’s solar fla has already dissipated.
Su Xiao stood on the stairs leading from the fourth layer to the fifth, the high temperature from the fourth layer scorched his exposed skin; even with the Counter Shield’s protection, he could feel the heat.
Su Xiao glanced at the Reincarnation Paradise’s prompt, after Apollo’s explosion, he obtained a total of 1084 Paradise rit points, undoubtedly a huge sum.
Of course, Su Xiao couldn’t take all the loot; Apollo’s success in killing enemies had contributions from others, such as Yan Chen’s golden scroll, Clown’s cover, and so on.
The matter of dividing the spoils would be postponed for now, but as the leader, Su Xiao would take the largest share, with Yan Chen’s portion also being substantial.
Su Xiao stepped back a bit, furrowing his brow, the current fourth layer was too dangerous, he couldn’t enter it.
The lethal aspect of the fourth layer wasn’t rely the high temperature; not only was the temperature over 2000 degrees now insufficient to describe it, the lava dripping from above alone could take most lives; furthermore, the flas consud a lot of oxygen, the fourth layer was now in an anaerobic state, even standing at the stairway, Su Xiao could feel the air being sucked in from behind.
Anaerobic high temperature lava various toxic gases generated post-explosion 2000 points of subsequent fire burn damage caused by Apollo’s explosion.
Yan Chen blocked the stairway leading from the fourth to the third layer, while Su Xiao blocked the stairs from the fourth to the fifth; according to their plan, Xi had to die nine tis in the fla hell of the fourth layer!
Su Xiao stared into the shadowy figure of a cat inside the fourth layer; he had seen this cat before.
Xi had already been burned to death once, she didn’t imdiately resurrect, and was suppressing her resurrection ability with all her might, knowing that resurrecting now was tantamount to suicide.
However, Xi couldn’t fully control this resurrection ability; the cat’s shadow floating in the air ford a sphere, starting to resurrect Xi.
The shouts of battle resounded from the third layer, Yan Chen was leading his people in a fight against the contractors from Apocalypse Paradise.
Su Xiao stared intensely at the white sphere a dozen ters away, resembling an energy cocoon, its interior contained extrely strong life energy.
If Xi wanted to leave the fourth layer, her only path was blocked by Su Xiao; the stairs behind leading to the third layer were simply too far, at least 700 ters away, whereas Xi was only a dozen ters from Su Xiao; charging in Su Xiao’s direction was the most logical course of action.
Crack...
The energy cocoon shattered, Xi appeared, quickly generating crystals beneath her feet, encasing the ground in a layer of crystal.
As flas flared, the intense heat in the air burned away Xi’s clothing, causing her movents to pause, instinctively raising her arms to cover her chest; a thin layer of blue crystal armor appeared on her body, she held her breath and bent her body, leaping towards Su Xiao.
Naturally, Su Xiao had to block Xi, the Black and White Guns appeared in his hands; he was about to fire when he sensed sothing was off, imdiately leaping back upwards.
Crack, crack, crack...
The blue armor on Xi cracked extensively, the temperature was simply too high on the fourth layer; with a snap, the blue armor shattered, the perpetually high-cold Xi ’exploded her clothes,’ thankfully, no one witnessed it.
Xi couldn’t care less about the exposed state; her skin was rapidly burning, she’d die very soon.

[Warning: You are in a toxic gas environnt, inhaling air from this environnt yields 210 points of burn damage 170 points of poison damage per second.]

[Warning: Your skill ’Crystal Surrounding (Passive - Profession) Level 32’ is suppressed by high temperature, now invalidated.]
...
A barrage of prompts appeared, Xi glanced at the blood-red warnings, imdiately aware of the critical situation.
"I can only survive for 2 seconds at most."
Xi muttered as her body stiffened, rapidly crystallizing, crystallization signifying Xi’s death.
With a chi, crystallized Xi fell to the ground, shattering monts later; her crystal shards scattered dozens of ters, everything touched by the crystal shard began crystallizing, whether ground or lava.
The cat’s shadow reappeared, and within the shadow’s range, there was a large swath of crystal clear, crystal entity, Xi used one resurrection attempt to cancel out the threat of lava.
Now temporarily assimilated with the cat’s shadow, Xi looked around, discovered Su Xiao absent from the fourth layer, she imdiately prepared to resurrect; however, a black shadow flashed by, Su Xiao appeared at the stairway between the fourth and fifth layers.
Su Xiao stared at the cat’s shadow, holding sothing in his hand.
"Seems like you wanted to fight , but you won’t have that chance."
Su Xiao spoke as he tossed the object in his hand, it was the very Apollo that had been activated but stopped; having been activated once, Apollo was sowhat unstable, Su Xiao was not planning to carry it along.
With its surface covered in cracks, Apollo rolled under the cat’s shadow; upon seeing this scorching sphere, Xi began to despair, her enemy left her no chance.
Realizing this, Xi’s gaze hardened, she swiftly manipulated the shadow to hasten her resurrection.
Erging from the cocoon, Xi first perceived the unsettling threat beneath her feet; it felt like she was thrown stark naked into an icy world, a chilling cold reaching the bone.
"Crystal Soul."
Xi touched the air with her finger; a massive web of crystals expanded, rushing towards the passage from the fourth to the fifth layer.
The surrounding high temperature rapidly blurred Xi’s vision, and her entire body felt the stinging pain of burning.
"These... lunatics."
Xi’s body crystallized once again.
On the ground, Apollo expanded rapidly, transforming into a fireball with a diater of over a hundred ters, as if soone had stuffed the sun into the fourth layer of Dusk Palace.
The fireball expanded rapidly.
Thump!
A deafening muffled sound erupted, Apollo’s explosive sound was distinct from any bomb; it was a deep and robust sound.
Boom!
Solar fla rapidly spread around, flas spewing from the stairways at both ends of the fourth layer, like a furnace with nothing inside but fire.
Dusk Palace was sturdy enough; otherwise, it would have turned into a pile of rubble long ago.
The second Apollo exploded on the fourth layer; if it were a hell of flas before, now it was a forbidden area for living beings.
In the ’Forbidden Area,’ an energy cocoon cracked open; within the crevice, you could see crystallized Xi, she hadn’t resurrected yet, but was killed again; Apollo’s explosion brought an excessively high temperature and true damage; Xi only had one resurrection left.
The fourth layer’s temperature rose from over 2000 degrees to 3000 degrees already, the energy within Dusk Palace was suppressed by the high temperature, the ground and walls of the fourth layer turned into large streams of lava, flowing down towards the third layer.
An exclamation echoed from the third layer, followed by chaotic footsteps and Yan Chen’s curses; amid this, one could vaguely hear keywords like ’Bai Ye,’ ’your sister.’
