Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake

In the Underground Lava World.

Wei Yang's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly. He sensed a faint feeling of being watched.

A cold smile tugged at his lips as he thought, That beast has come!

In a place that could be called a forbidden zone for living beings, the only creature capable of making him feel watched was that Fourth Tier magical beast, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

Wei Yang calmly gazed at the seemingly tranquil Magma Lake, though inwardly he had already become vigilant. At the same time, he gently said to Ye Xian'er, "Xian'er, stay here and be careful."

"Brother Yang, what's wrong?" Xian'er grew somewhat nervous at his words, grayish-white Dou Qi rising over her jade-like hands.

"There's a beast below that has its eyes on us. I'll go meet it." Wei Yang sneered.

Xian'er warily looked toward the calm Magma Lake below and nodded. "Brother Yang, be careful. Don't worry about me."

Wei Yang nodded. As long as he drew that beast's attention, Xian'er should be safe if she remained cautious.

Then his figure moved. His Black Wings spread, and in an instant, he arrived above the Magma Lake. Dou Qi surged through his body as the powerful aura of a Dou Ling was released without restraint, a blatant provocation.

Very soon.

Hm?

In Wei Yang's senses, a powerful aura was rapidly approaching through the magma directly below him. He lowered his head to look.

Just then.

A spot in the magma below suddenly began bubbling violently, the magma swelling into a huge bulge.

With a muffled burst, the bulge exploded, and a fiery-red energy pillar mixed with magma shot out, rapidly hurtling toward Wei Yang, who hovered in midair.

The energy pillar was as thick as a water barrel, like a laser cannon blast. It was incredibly fast and carried a terrifying scorching aura, warping even the air along its path.

Wei Yang had long been prepared. The instant the energy pillar struck, his Black Wings gave a light flap, and he swiftly retreated, barely dodging it.

But Wei Yang's retreat was like poking a hornet's nest.

In an instant, it was as if some mechanism had been triggered.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The magma below continuously bulged and burst apart, fiery-red energy pillars tearing through the magma one after another as they shot toward him.

Wei Yang's Black Wings beat rapidly. Relying on his powerful spiritual perception, his body flashed nimbly through the air like a black-and-crimson bolt of lightning, seemingly in danger yet skillfully evading every pillar of light.

Pillars of light crisscrossed through the sky.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Wei Yang avoided them, but the rock wall overhead was not so fortunate. Struck by the energy pillars, it exploded one section after another.

In moments, huge portions of the rock wall shattered into chunks of varying sizes and fell into the magma below, splashing up wave after wave.

The scene instantly became incomparably chaotic, as though the entire lava world had descended into apocalypse.

"Brother Yang, be careful—mm..." Xian'er's worried cry faintly drifted over from afar. She immediately covered her mouth afterward, not daring to make another sound and distract him.

"Don't worry. I'm just playing with it," Wei Yang casually replied amid his flashing movements.

Meanwhile, a massive shadow faintly emerged beneath the magma.

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake seemed to realize that such attacks could do nothing to the tiny figure above. Finally, with a savage hiss, it burst from the magma and opened its blood-filled maw as it lunged at Wei Yang.

The creature that tore free from the magma was an enormous serpent-type magical beast.

At a glance, it was at least fifteen meters long, its body thicker than a water barrel. Its entire body was fiery red, and from afar, it looked as though it had been carved from fire jade. It was beautiful, yet also gave off a ferocious and savage air.

Its body was covered in palm-sized crimson scales.

Most unusually, this serpent magical beast had two heads.

At the fork of its neck, two vicious snake heads stared with enormous diamond-shaped pupils filled with violent, bloodthirsty killing intent.

"You finally decided to come out? I was afraid you wouldn't!" Wei Yang sneered, his body flashing aside to nimbly evade its bite.

At the same time, information about this magical beast flashed through his mind.

The Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake generally grew in extremely hot places or volcanic lava. It was a relatively rare type of magical beast.

It could survive by devouring magma and grow stronger without end, possessing tremendous potential.

It was a First Tier magical beast at birth. Given enough opportunity, it could grow into a Sixth Tier magical beast comparable to a Dou Emperor.

"However, you're only at the peak of the Fourth Tier right now. Though your combat power here is comparable to a Dou Wang... if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had to wait until reaching the Dou Ling realm before daring to seek the Green Lotus Core Flame..."

Wei Yang looked at the enormous Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake and its two vicious heads opening their mouths to tear into him. With a cold snort, he swiftly retreated and dodged while waving his hand, sending crimson spinning fire spikes shooting from his fingertips toward it.

Profound Tier Low-Grade Dou Technique, Blazing Fire Stab!

Relying on its scales for defense and its powerful body, the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake merely avoided its vital areas slightly before ignoring the attack and continuing to chase Wei Yang, biting at him with open jaws.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The rapidly spinning fire spikes struck the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake like drills and exploded one after another.

Palm-sized scales cracked or shattered, leaving wounds of varying sizes as crimson blood seeped out.

Hiss—

Both heads of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake let out hisses at once. Its injuries only further provoked its ferocity. Savage light and madness flared in its diamond-shaped pupils, while its forked tongues flickered like soft swords, hissing through the air.

One head bit at him while the other opened its mouth and fired pillar after pillar of energy.

"Haha, you can't hit me. You're too slow!"

Wei Yang's Black Wings beat behind him, leaving afterimages in the air as his body flashed and rapidly retreated, dodging every attack.

He continuously waved his hand, fire spikes shooting from his fingertips like rapid-fire machine-gun bullets, striking its body with spinning force.

Though he taunted it aloud, the sight of the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake becoming ever more vicious and crazed from its repeated injuries made his heart grow solemn.

He thought, As expected of a creature capable of surviving in magma—it possesses an incredibly tough body. Even under such frenzied bombardment from my Dou Technique, it may look covered in wounds, but they're only superficial injuries. They haven't damaged its bones or muscles at all.

And in this lava world, it is like a fish in water. Its energy can be replenished quickly...

If I weren't also fire-attributed and benefited somewhat from this environment, then even an ordinary Dou Wang of another attribute might not be able to do anything to it.

Wei Yang had been maintaining the continuous barrage with his left hand, while his right remained hidden within his sleeve, secretly gathering and compressing Dou Qi.

No rush. Wait a little longer. Wait for a chance to kill it in one strike. It should be coming soon... He narrowed his eyes and stared at the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

He knew very well that with his current cultivation as a one-star Dou Ling, he could only unleash his ultimate move at full power once. If he failed to heavily injure or kill it in a single blow, then he might have to retreat for now today.

Thus, he remained calm and unhurriedly waited for an opportunity to strike.

He knew that although the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake appeared crazed, it had yet to be forced into using its trump card.

After fighting for so long, both sides were still holding something back. Neither had used their ultimate move.

Now, it was a matter of who had more patience, and who would lose control first.

And clearly, the first to lose patience was the Two-Headed Fire Spirit Snake.

Against Wei Yang's nimble speed, it could only passively endure his attacks, as though being slowly sliced apart by a dull blade. It was agonizing.

Suddenly!

Hiss—

It let out a piercing, furious screech, and its scales lit up with crimson light.

"It's coming!" Wei Yang's eyes lit up at the sight.
