Chapter 162 The Remains of a Dou Zun
Thick, scalding, dark red lava flowed slowly in all directions. Within this lava, an icy blue figure was unhurriedly descending.
"For those who cultivate fire-attribute techniques, this is indeed a rare treasure land." Huo Yuhao's voice rang out clearly in the lava.
The sphere of light from the Guardian Mirror kept fanning itself in his mental world, uttering a blunt remark: "You have spatial power but choose not to use it, instead slowly swimming in this puddles? Kid Huo, do you like saunas?"
When the power of space was mentioned, a barely perceptible hint of seriousness flashed across Huo Yuhao's usually calm face.
"Mirror," Huo Yuhao said in a deep voice, "Even your senses can't pinpoint the abnormal space below. So, to be on the safe side, let's go down slowly."
The Mirror of Guardians said indifferently, "Maintaining such a large area in this godforsaken place, isolating it from the high temperature and resisting the pressure, consumes a lot of battle energy. Can you recover?"
Its voice trailed off, and its gaze fell on the Nine-Fold Ice Flame outside.
The Ice Flame Phoenix was hovering beside Huo Yuhao, elegantly opening its small mouth and, as if picking out snacks, precisely drawing out a few strands of the purest flame energy from the flowing magma, while ignoring the surrounding vast energy.
The Guardian Mirror's lips twitched: "—Your chickens are quite picky eaters!"
Huo Yuhao's lips curled up slightly: "Actually, there was no consumption. Through my experience over this period, I have gained some understanding of this realm."
With a slight thought, Huo Yuhao caused the viscous magma in front of him to be pushed aside by an invisible giant hand, actively retreating to both sides to form a stable spherical vacuum zone with a diameter of about ten feet.
For Huo Yuhao now, controlling the flame energy in the magma is as simple as breathing.
After descending a considerable distance, the surrounding lava had changed from dark red to a deep, almost blackish red, and the temperature and pressure had soared to a terrifying level.
Huo Yuhao, who had been calm and composed, suddenly frowned and his eyes sharpened.
"What's wrong?" The Guardian Mirror immediately noticed the change in his state.
Even Jiu Li Bing Yan, who was being picky about food, stopped what she was doing, raised her head, and looked at Huo Yuhao's tense profile with a hint of doubt in her icy eyes.
Huo Yuhao's voice was filled with unprecedented solemnity: "Deep within this magma—there exists a race!"
Under his divine perception, countless moving figures were reflected—a humanoid creature resembling a lizard, its entire body covered in scales!
They moved and gathered in the lava, and could even be seen communicating and cooperating with each other through some kind of body language. This was by no means a simple community of fire-type magical beasts, but an intelligent race with a clear social structure!
Deeper within the magma world, there exist individuals with exceptionally powerful auras. The energy fluctuations they emit far surpass the Dou Zong level, even causing Huo Yuhao, who has already broken through to the Dou Huang level, to feel somewhat alarmed!
The Guardian Mirror flickered twice, then said calmly, "The world is vast and full of wonders. Creatures that prefer extreme environments, such as magma environments, are not uncommon."
Huo Yuhao said, "Their clan is very strong. I have already sensed the aura fluctuations of several Dou Zun."
And the most crucial part————
Huo Yuhao's voice lowered, tinged with worry: "They're right below Canaan Academy!"
The Guardian Mirror transformed into human form, resting its chin on its hand as if in deep thought: "Hmm—it seems that the hidden space below is most likely related to this lizardman tribe."
It paused for a moment, then suggested, "Since we're not strong enough right now, why don't we go up first? And come back to investigate when you're stronger?"
Seeing that Huo Yuhao did not agree, the Guardian Mirror added, "If you are really worried, we can set up a spatial seal at the entrance of that lava lake, and then you can add a few layers of spirit arrays on top of it."
Huo Yuhao slowly shook his head, a glint in his eyes: "No need to rush back. I've discovered another human soul entity. I should be able to learn about these fire lizardmen from him."
Before he finished speaking, Huo Yuhao stopped descending at a constant speed. With a slight thought, specks of silver spatial light suddenly shone like stars in the crimson magma!
The surrounding viscous slurry instantly distorted and shifted. The next moment, Huo Yuhao's figure appeared in a much deeper, more intensely pressured area. Here, the magma possessed a deathly, eerie blackness, with only the deepest parts emitting a chilling, dark red glow.
Huo Yuhao extended his right index finger, and a wisp of pure battle qi was injected into the dark magma in front of him.
Buzz—!
As battle qi was injected, the magma in that area seemed to come alive, slowly writhing and rotating. A transparent halo emitting a faint, soft light quietly appeared.
The aura within the circle formed its own space, isolating it from the terrifying heat and pressure of the outside world. At the center of the aura, a pure white skeleton, its body as smooth as jade, sat silently in meditation. And above this skeleton, suspended a transparent flame—the second Fallen Heart Flame!
"grumble!"
Upon seeing this young Fallen Heart Flame, Nine-Leaving Ice Flame instantly perked up and let out an excited cry.
Before Huo Yuhao could give any orders, it transformed into a streak of blue light and darted into the transparent light ring. With a snap of its little mouth, it precisely caught the trembling Fallen Heart Flame in its mouth!
"Don't rush to eat!" Huo Yuhao's voice carried a hint of helplessness: "If I ultimately fail to develop a replacement formation, this Fallen Heart Flame may be the last ember of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower."
"Chirp—" The Ice Flame Phoenix chirped somewhat reluctantly, but still obediently flew back to Huo Yuhao's side. With a flick of its little head, it spat the Fallen Heart Flame, which it had almost extinguished in fright, into Huo Yuhao's palm.
Huo Yuhao gently soothed the Fallen Heart Flame seedling in his palm until it stabilized, then stepped directly into the transparent light circle.
The space shifted, and the terrifying pressure and high temperature from the outside world completely disappeared. His gaze fell on the pure white skeleton, and his divine sense enveloped it like mercury flowing across the ground.
"Senior, please show yourself!" Huo Yuhao clasped his hands in a fist and invited loudly.
Before the words were even finished, a sudden change occurred!
Without warning, a dazzling white light erupted from within the skeleton! A powerful spatial force, like an invisible shackle, attempted to imprison Huo Yuhao!
Faced with this sudden sneak attack, Huo Yuhao didn't even flinch.
Huo Yuhao raised his right index finger, a silver glow belonging to the power of space swirling around the fingertip, and gently touched the incoming spatial barrier.
Boo!
A barely perceptible soft sound. The seemingly powerful spatial confinement force, like a fragile soap bubble, was easily shattered by the silver light at Huo Yuhao's fingertips. It vanished without a trace.
