"Hah... hss..."
A groan of pleasure escaped the red-robed man's lips, drawing sidelong looks from the two beside him.
But neither found Luo Chen's lapse strange.
The spiritual energy around them had changed abruptly the moment they entered Blazing Purgatory.
Gone was Thousand Blade Mountain's blade-sharp chill against the skin, and gone was Quicksand Sea's crushing weight, like the earth itself shackling their bodies. In their place came heat, restlessness, and surging vitality.
It felt as though even their breaths carried sparks!
For Taisui, who chiefly cultivated the Wood Element, such an extreme environment was hardly pleasant.
But for Luo Chen, who cultivated only Fire Element techniques, it was like a fish finding water!
Even Cloud Touching Cave Master stretched and instinctively drew several deep breaths. He cultivated a Fire Attribute technique as well.
Relaxing into the comfort, Cloud Touching Cave Master could not help resenting Luo Chen's earlier recklessness.
"Why provoke that monster? We almost got trapped in there."
"I don't believe it's your place to judge how I do things, Cave Master."
Luo Chen glanced sideways at him, and Cloud Touching Cave Master's expression stiffened.
Anger long held down stirred in his heart, ready to burst.
Nothing had gone right since he allied himself with Luo Chen!
First Luo Chen delayed their entry into the Sunken Sea. Then he provoked Ghost Immortal Tower and nearly got them killed.
When they finally entered the Fallen Devil Land, the wretch cunningly set a trap that left him facing a Fourth Order Nine Yang Golden Eagle.
He was Cloud Touching Cave Master, an artifact-refining master revered by thousands. When had he ever endured such treatment?
Now they were in Blazing Purgatory, where he held the advantage. It was time they settled this properly!
A white true flame rose from his body.
