The boat flew towards the palace located in the center of the boiling magma. Yannick, Austin and the three elders from the Deep Sea Commercial House were aboard the ship.
As the boat traveled above the hot sea of boiling fluid, the magma seemed to have sensed its presence. Suddenly, huge waves of magma swept into the sky and slapped against the wooden boat.
Scorching molten rocks billowed towards Yannick's shabby boat. Austin was surprised as the rundown boat emitted powerful energy waves to withstand the huge waves.
Despite the angry waves of magma, the boat reached the palace in an instant. It stood above a dazzling golden, huge tree.
Those strong cultivators wearing black cloaks made it to the palace as well.
Although these two parties were in an intense final battle a couple of minutes ago, neither of them wanted to fight again at this moment.
Instead, they were eager to seek for the treasures of the fire crow race inside the palace.
"Let's attack the door together!"
a man in a black cloak shouted.
He and his companions simultaneously launched powerful attacks on the gates of the palace.
The terrifying energy they released pounded on the door fiercely. Loud booms echoed in the area as their attacks hit the palace.
Because of that, the palace began to shake violently.
"Let's join them!" Yannick said to the three elders as he saw what the other party did.
With a wave of his hand, a river of vital energy force gushed out of his body and hit the palace gate violently.
The three old men immediately followed suit. They attacked the door with their tremendous vital energy.
A loud booming noise reverberated in the place.
The palace began shaking more violently every time it received their attacks.
Since they were all remarkable cultivators, the power of their attacks was very terrifying. Each strike they launched was all extremely vigorous.
Austin, who was watching intently, was amazed at their strength.
'Although I am a strong cultivator in the East Mainland, I still got a long way to go if I want to match extraordinary cultivators like them, ' he brooded.
Under their powerful attacks, the gates of the palace began to open slowly.
Seeing their progress, the people cheered excitedly. They were all thrilled to enter the palace.
However, an unexpected thing happened the next moment.
Deafening cries of crows came from inside the palace.
Then, a flock of crows wrapped in golden flames bolted out of the door one after another.
More crows kept rushing outside the palace. There were so many of them that even Austin felt terrified.
Each crow came at the intruders violently. Their sharp claws and beaks were intensified by the blazing flames that covered their bodies.
"Fire crow! They're fire crows!" a man in a black cloak shouted in surprise.
He recognized the furious creatures coming towards them.
After a while, thousands of fire crows swarmed towards the palace door.
As they flocked together, they made the abnormally high temperature even hotter.
The terribly high temperature burned the whole space in an instant.
What was worse was that more and more fire crows kept pouring out of the palace. No one knew how many of them were there.
The flock of countless fire crows illuminated the sky as if it was set on fire. They pounced fiercely towards the two groups.
"Damn it! Why are there so many fire crows? There are more than a hundred thousand of them already," one of the strong cultivators in black cloaks exclaimed in fear. Terror was written all over his face as he stared at the blazing crows in the sky.
The fire crows swarmed and covered the sky where the two groups stood. Each of them released a terrifying force. This army of fire crows seemed to possess the power to destroy anything in the world.
"No, these are not fire crows! They are not real. They are just shadows. Perhaps we are struck in some illusion array,"
a man in a black cloak shouted suddenly.
"Yes, he is right! These are not the real fire crows. Otherwise, we would have already been torn into bits.
These are fake fire crows created by an array.
I guess there is a powerful array inside the palace, which can create these fire crow shadows to attack and frighten intruders,"
agreed one of the three old men from the Deep Sea Commercial House.
Hearing that, the dozen cultivators who wore black cloaks began attacking those fire crows.
As they launched their hits, they found that the creatures were not as powerful as they appeared.
