Others Level Up, but I Pursue Cultivation!

Su Xing slightly frowned, feeling the heat waves coming from the air.

Of course, such a temperature naturally had no effect on Su Xing.

"So, this is the Red Lotus Demon Grotto dungeon?"

Su Xing surveyed the surroundings, which were all crimson rocks heated to high temperatures, still slightly hot to the touch.

The space inside the cave was not large, barely enough for Su Xing to fit in.

Looking ahead, Su Xing saw a bottomless cavern beneath his feet, seemingly leading straight to the core of the earth.

"According to the description in the simulation script... deeper in this Red Lotus Demon Grotto, there should be a Flame Demon. Defeating it and moving further... I\'ll find that rare metal ore zone."

Su Xing pondered; he was using immersive simulation exploration this time in preparation for actual exploration in the real world later on.

No longer hesitating, Su Xing willed it, and both Origin Force armor and Protective Gang Qi were used simultaneously to protect him.

"Then... Let\'s explore deeper..."

Activating his Spiritual Power, Su Xing flew rapidly down into the depths of the cave.

The deeper the cave, the higher the surrounding temperature became.

About ten minutes later, Su Xing estimated that he had already reached dozens of kilometers beneath the surface.

And at this moment, the temperature around him continued to rise, from the initial eighty to ninety degrees to over five hundred degrees.

"This Red Lotus Demon Grotto really is bottomless..."

Su Xing frowned slightly and sped up his exploration further into the depths.

After more than an hour, Su Xing guessed he was at least several hundred kilometers away from the surface.

Here, where it was already dark and lightless, only the scorching temperatures of one to two thousand degrees Celsius remained, where ordinary life forms could not survive at all.

Yet, on his way down, Su Xing had already encountered some special monsters that lived in these extreme high temperatures.

Most of these monsters were of Grandmaster Level, and Su Xing merely had to stimulate his Origin Force slightly to kill them with ease.

"Already hundreds of kilometers away from the surface... How deep does this Red Lotus Demon Grotto actually go?"

Su Xing sighed. Could it be that this demon grotto spanned a thousand kilometers from the surface?

Su Xing\'s speed increased more and more, instantly killing any ordinary monsters he encountered along the way.

It was several hours later that Su Xing sensed the space around him growing wider, and the surrounding temperature had reached an astonishing three thousand degrees Celsius.

Faint light emanated from special ores embedded in the stone walls.

Slowing down slightly, Su Xing\'s Divine Sense spread out like a tide.

Sure enough, he sensed a monstrously powerful creature thousands of meters away.

"That... Is that the Flame Demon?"

Su Xing paused for a moment.

In his Divine Sense, the Flame Demon\'s appearance somewhat resembled the demons from Hell in Western mythology.

With two horns on its head and a body made of magma, with two blazing flames in its eye sockets.

It was ten meters tall and exuded a malevolent aura all over.

"Judging from its aura... this Flame Demon truly does possess the strength of a Martial Emperor at its peak..."

Su Xing frowned slightly, feeling that the environment of this Red Lotus Demon Grotto dungeon was a bit too harsh for ordinary professionals.

"Thousands of degrees of high temperature, an environment with thin oxygen... in such a place, even Grandmaster Level professionals probably cannot survive..."

Su Xing had an ominous premonition.

Such harsh conditions meant that lower-level professionals couldn\'t enter, which also meant that Su Xing couldn\'t recruit a large workforce to mine the ore.

It was not as if he could ask Heavenly King Level powerhouses to mine ore, could he?

That... seemed a bit unrealistic.

"Well... let\'s take care of this Flame Demon first, and then think of a way to mine the rare metal ore..."

With a thought, Su Xing rushed towards the Flame Demon at high speed.

"Roar roar roar~"

Sensing Su Xing\'s rapidly approaching presence, the Flame Demon roared loudly at him, continuously pounding on its chest as if declaring its own territorial rights...

However!

As if not seeing at all, upon getting closer to the Flame Demon, Su Xing wrapped his fists with Origin Force.

No fancy tricks!

He threw out a terrifying punch!

Boom!

The force of a million tons directly pounded onto the chest of the Flame Demon.

The two blazing flames in the eyes of the Flame Demon slowly extinguished...

With just one punch, the Martial Emperor peak strength Flame Demon was dead!

"Whew~"

"With my current strength combined with the wrapping of Origin Force... anyone below Legendary can\'t take even one punch!"

The corners of Su Xing\'s mouth lifted slightly, then he quickly spread out his Divine Sense to scout for any hidden enemies nearby.

After confirming there were no enemies, Su Xing went to the Flame Demon\'s lair, indeed finding a cave several meters wide and bottomless.

"This cave... should be the one leading to the magma pool, right?"

Su Xing muttered.

He had previously simulated bathing in this magma pool in an attempt to break his limits, though he had not succeeded.

And the rare metal ore zone was near the magma pool.

Su Xing moved towards the magma cave, with a thought.

As Su Xing approached the magma layer, the surrounding temperature surged dramatically.

It quickly soared to over five thousand degrees Celsius.

Su Xing\'s frown deepened. With such extreme temperatures, professionals below Heavenly King Level could survive even less.

Soon, Su Xing arrived at the magma layer.

It was a relatively open, flat area of rock.

In front of him was a steaming magma pool, and beside the pool, there were many black rocks.

Among the rocks, some were streaked with a special red metal ore.

It was unmistakably a rare metal!
