Creating the fifteenth floor required 13,000 Earth Vein Power.
Relying on the supply from the Life Casket, Dalun Li had now finished accumulating the amount.
Furthermore, he had recently added the masterpiece grade magical artifact, the Staff of the Puppeteer, and the lesser magic grade magical artifact, the Magic Spring Necklace.
These increased the absorption speed of the Earth Vein Power by another significant margin, working in tandem with the treasure protection of the adventurer babies.
The absorption speed of the Earth Vein Power in the Well of Eternal Imprisonment had now reached a new height.
[Earth Vein Power absorption speed] 2852.416/day
"Fifteenth floor, create!"
Upon the lava sea of the fourteenth floor, a lava vortex began to appear.
Rolling lava followed the passage as it continuously extended downward.
Within the chaotic space, lava flowed everywhere, solidifying into bizarrely shaped rocks.
Atop the rocks, flames burned incessantly, flowing over the stone like liquid, never extinguishing.
And overhead, scalding lava rain fell continuously, crashing into the ground accompanied by thick smoke.
The source of the lava rain was located at the center of the floor.
A massive volcano sat at the floor's center, continuously erupting lava rain across the entire stratum.
There was no longer any possibility for biological life to exist here. Those that lived here could not be called living beings but rather evil spirits of hell.
It was a sight truly reminiscent of hell.
Dalun Li transferred himself to the fifteenth floor, where the powerful force of lava and fire, the power of volcanic eruptions, was continuously channeled into him.
[Earth Vein Power required to create the next floor] 20,000
The entire floor was surrounded on all sides by an endless lava sea and scattered, isolated islands.
The center of the floor was occupied by a massive volcano and a volcanic island.
The volcano continuously erupted lava, causing scalding lava rain to fall across the entire floor.
Without protection, adventurers had no way to operate on this floor at all.
However, compared to the lava sea and isolated islands of the previous floor, this floor at least had a massive volcanic island.
Looking at the volcanic island, Dalun Li's inspiration surged uncontrollably.
Saving these precious inspirations for later, Dalun Li had more important matters at hand.
He needed to see what good things were hidden on this floor.
A large volcanic island like that was guaranteed to hide at least one treasure.
The lava sea also had a high drop rate, so the harvest this time was bound to be good.
Dalun Li searched the lava sea with great hope.
Then, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
After searching for half a day, he only found some wyvern bones in the lava sea.
The quantity was not even as high as the previous floor.
"Damn it. Sigh, I guess I'll take it as a consolation prize."
Dalun Li could only place his hopes on the lava volcano.
The rocks on this floor were very special, often having large patches of flames burning out of thin air.
These flames seemed to burn from nothing, clinging to the rocks without causing them to shrink.
Probing into the interior of the lava volcano, Dalun Li first discovered a special mineral vein.
This mineral was similar to metal and extremely heat-resistant.
But once it exceeded its heat-resistant limit, it would reach its ignition point and burn, releasing extremely high-temperature flames.
Dalun Li estimated that a piece the size of a thumb could burn for an entire month.
The rocks of the entire floor were rich in this ore.
When this ore was diluted within the rocks, the ignition point would lower.
This was precisely why large patches of rock across the floor were constantly burning.
Dalun Li named the ore dragon flame coal.
The reserves of dragon flame coal were extremely abundant, with the entire floor containing this mineral.
"It can be mined as forging coal for the purple-skinned blacksmith tribe."
Although dragon flame coal was extremely difficult to ignite, once it did, the temperature of the flames released could melt most metals.
The discovery of the dragon flame coal significantly improved Dalun Li's mood as he continued to probe the interior of the volcano.
The volcano was located at the center of the floor, constantly erupting terrifying lava.
Its core absolutely must have formed some treasure.
Moreover, the fact that the volcano itself erupted without stopping was quite unique.
Probing all the way to the volcano's core, Dalun Li did not find any treasure.
Instead, he saw a spectacular sight.
The core of the entire volcano was a black hollow, about 30 meters in diameter, gathered by spatial power.
This hollow continuously drew lava from beneath the volcano and then expelled it from the crater.
If it were not for the pitch-black palace providing Dalun Li with a certain amount of spatial power, he would not have even been able to comprehend the scene before him.
This hollow could perhaps be called a spatial cluster.
Dalun Li could not understand why such a spatial cluster would form in the center of this volcano.
He tried to control the spatial cluster to move it, but found he could not manipulate it at all.
This was the first time he was unable to control something on a floor created by the dungeon.
The spatial cluster did not seem like an object of the dungeon, nor was it a part of Dalun Li.
Instead, it seemed like a special object that had been accidentally swallowed when the floor was being opened.
The last time this happened was with the evil god, the Remnant of the "Dark Starry Sky".
Was this thing on the same level as the Remnant of the "Dark Starry Sky"?
Thinking about the evil god now still made Dalun Li feel a sense of discomfort.
If it was on the same level as the Remnant of the "Dark Starry Sky"...
Dalun Li tried to manipulate the power of the pitch-black palace, letting it seep into the spatial cluster before him.
Sure enough, this time, Dalun Li felt as though he could vaguely manipulate the spatial cluster.
A small opening was slowly pried into the spatial cluster by the power of the pitch-black palace.
Looking inside through the opening, Dalun Li discovered that the 30-meter-diameter spatial cluster actually hid a vast space, like a small world of its own.
Even just the part revealed was not much smaller than the entire 15th floor.
Dalun Li used the power of the pitch-black palace to maintain the entrance to the spatial cluster and looked inside.
The world inside was incredibly miserable, with nothing but broken, pitch-black earth and a sky filled with the aura of death.
It looked like a lifeless apocalyptic scene.
However, looking at this broken and lifeless land, Dalun Li felt a sense of hunger.
It was a feeling he had never had since becoming a dungeon. It was not a hunger welling up from the flesh but from the soul.
Once this hunger arose, Dalun Li could not endure it at all. He only wanted to bite and crush the world inside the spatial cluster, swallowing it into his stomach.
He struggled to use his reason to restrain his impulse.
"What the hell is this!"
Dalun Li restrained his impulse to rush into the spatial cluster, but he still could not suppress using the power of the pitch-black palace.
He forcibly tore a piece of a broken hillside from the world inside the spatial cluster.
This act of intrusion seemed to enrage the world inside the spatial cluster.
In an instant, countless pitch-black monsters rushed out from all directions of the broken world, swarming toward Dalun Li.
There were even monsters inside!
Dalun Li quickly closed the opening of the spatial cluster and blocked the connecting passage.
Everything returned to peace.
Dalun Li devoured the torn-off hillside, integrating it into the dungeon.
The hunger was replaced by a blissful sense of satiety.
At the same time, Dalun Li felt that his sense of control over the spatial cluster had improved by a tiny, negligible amount.
It felt as though the spatial cluster had merged into the fifteenth floor just a little bit.
This also caused his spatial power to increase by a small margin.
"What a treasure!"
Dalun Li had only devoured a small fragment of the land, yet his spatial power had increased this much.
If he completely devoured the spatial cluster and fused it into the Well of Eternal Imprisonment...
His spatial power would no longer be a half-baked ability relying on the pitch-black palace.
It would be equivalent to having an extra, special spatial floor providing him with power.
However, Dalun Li could not enter the world of the spatial cluster, and now that the world inside had noticed his existence, he could no longer tear pieces away to eat as he had before.
To occupy the world within the spatial cluster...
The only way was an all-out war!
He would use a massive army of monsters to invade the spatial cluster!
Dalun Li suspected that the interior of the spatial cluster was a dungeon that had not yet been born, or a fragment of a collapsed dungeon drifting in the chaotic space.
Therefore, this was a war between two dungeons.
The monsters of the dungeon were quickly transferred and gathered. A monster army began to rapidly assemble.
Everything was carried out with the command of the Master of the Well of Eternal Imprisonment as the supreme directive!
