Demon Suppressing Prison, Master of Flames
"I didn't expect you to be so strong. You're from the Eastern Xuan Region. Which Super Sect in the Eastern Xuan Region are you from, and which sect sent you out for training?"
The White-robed Beauty twisted her body and flew to Lin Dong's side. Looking down at the empty space below, her expression was quite complicated.
"I was once the sect's Chief Seat. Here, the Life Mysterious Spirit Fruit I promised you." Lin Dong smiled noncommittally and casually handed over a bright green fruit.
Thank you.
Gu Yan accepted it silently, wisely refraining from pursuing the matter further.
"There seems to be something at the bottom of the lake. I need to go down and take a look. It will take some time. You can take the Life-Generating Profound Spirit Pill here on the Lake Heart Island and focus on your breakthrough to the Life Mysterious Stage. This is the lair of the Three-Headed Demonic Flood Dragon, the overlord of Mysterious Spirit Island, so it's quite safe."
Lin Dong gave a brief instruction and then plunged into the massive lake.
Lin Dong summoned the Azure Sky Lotus to envelop himself and swiftly traversed the bottomless and unusually dark lake. Soon, a layer of constantly writhing and surging crimson magma appeared before him.
"Buzz! Whoosh!"
The azure light on the Azure Sky Lotus accelerated its writhing, and the flower bud suddenly enveloped Lin Dong, transforming into a ray of light that quickly plunged into the magma layer radiating intense heat.
Before your eyes lies a vast plaza, with a stone pool about ten feet in size lying in the center. Green light surges within it, compressing into a palm-sized ball of emerald light in mid-air, radiating an extremely rich Life Force.
The Earth Core Spiritual Paste, containing an almost massive amount of Life Force, is an advanced version of the Life Mysterious Spirit Fruit, which can benefit all Life Mysterious Stage experts.
Dangerous yet almost transparent red rays filled this mysterious space, faintly converging into a hidden array. The point where the myriad rays converged was the strange stone pool in the center.
These mysterious and dim red lights are extremely difficult to observe, hidden in the air. If someone with poor eyesight were to rush into them out of greed, they would surely be disintegrated by the activated array, leaving not even a trace of flesh and blood.
"Hey, Lin Dong, why does this grand formation look so familiar? It vaguely resembles the work of that Master of Flames."
"The Master of Flames should still be asleep. Could this be the Demon Suppressing Prison that he is responsible for guarding?"
Two voices rang in Lin Dong's ears one after the other, and the Ancestral Stone and the Great Desolation Stele, which had been retracted into his body, emerged with their consciousness.
Because the life force of the powerful Demon Clan is extremely tenacious and difficult to kill easily, most of the powerful figures in the Tianxuan Continent can only seal them and slowly erase the demonic essence within them with the Power of Years.
During the Ancient Great War, the powerful beings of the Tianxuan Continent suppressed the thousands of Yi Mo they captured in three super-large prisons, which were guarded by the Master of Flames, the Master of Life and Death, and the Master of Darkness, respectively. These three sealed places were also known as the Demon Suppressing Prison.
"We'll find out once we go down and take a look."
Lin Dong glanced at the dangerous light that filled the entire space, thought for a moment, and decided to put away the Azure Sky Lotus. His Ancient Azure Sky Lotus Seedling, which was only comparable to Lower Grade Pure Yuan Treasure, could not withstand the bombardment of the great formation.
Since we can't handle it, we might as well avoid contact altogether.
"Space Ancestral Symbol, Space Teleportation!"
Lin Dong lifted his foot, and a faint Space Power surged around him. The next second, his figure appeared like a ghost in the strange stone pool in the center of the square, as if the thousands of red lights were nothing.
The Space Ancestral Symbol is truly an essential item for murder, robbery, and travel!
"Collect the Earth Core Spiritual Paste and save it for when you break through to the Life Mysterious Stage, Great Perfection."
Lin Dong took a fine jade bottle from his Cosmic Bag and carefully put the emerald green liquid that was floating in mid-air into it.
"Lin Dong, we'll protect you and go down here together. If this really is the place where the Master of Flames sleeps, then I'll retrieve a good thing for you. You know the Flame God Ancient Token, right?"
"When you come to the Chaotic Demon Sea this time, you will definitely encounter the controller of this generation's Flame Ancestral Symbol, that is, the Hall Master of the Flame God Hall Mo Luo. With the Flame God Ancient Token, he will be unable to do anything to you."
The Great Desolation Stele and the Ancestral Stone swiftly emerged from its body, releasing a two-colored light that stirred the Lin Dong, ensuring its safety as it ventured into the unknown.
The Flame God Ancient Token is the identity token that the Master of Flames carries close to his body.
It contains extremely powerful Flame energy. It can be seen as a temporarily made, weakened version of the Flame Ancestral Symbol, or as a powerful, Upper Grade Pure Yuan Treasure.
As an identity token, it represents the will of the Master of Flames among the Eight Ancient Masters. Holding it is like the Master of Flames is present and acting on his behalf, making it extremely valuable.
Most importantly, by possessing it, other beings wielding the Flame Ancestral Symbol will be unable to attack the holder of the Ancient Card, or their attacks will be ineffective.
Of course, it has an upper limit to the power it can withstand, and it cannot provide unlimited protection.
The Eight Ancient Masters all possessed similar identity tokens, but they never gave them away casually; they would immediately retrieve them after use.
"Alright, let's not delay, let's go down and take a look."
With the protection of the two Ancient Divine Object ranked second and third on the Ancient Divine Artifact Ranking, what was Lin Dong afraid of? He immediately plunged into the fiery red light circle at the bottom of the stone pool.
The vast, Dark Space was filled with endless depth and mystery.
Long torrents of lava, each ten thousand feet long, resembled Crimson Dragon, winding and intertwining in the void, vaguely forming a massive ancient array covering tens of thousands of feet of space, seemingly suppressing something.
The mysterious light array outside was only used to prevent people from getting close. Compared with the tens of thousands of feet of magma array in this Dark Space, it was like an ant compared to a dragon, incomparable.
Even though Lin Dong had made some preparations before entering, he was still stunned by the astonishing feat when he first saw it. It truly lived up to its reputation as the Demon Suppressing Prison, capable of suppressing one True Demon King after another and an army of Tens of Millions of Yi Mo.
"This place is indeed one of the Three Great Demon Suppressing Prisons. This great formation that captures the giant rivers of lava, each ten thousand feet deep, is the masterpiece of that Master of Flames — the Flame God Ancient Array."
"I remember that the Great Heavenly Demon King, the mount of the Demon Emperor, that freak whose strength was comparable to the Three-Stage Reincarnation Tribulation and second only to the Heavenly King Hall, was also imprisoned here by the Master of Flames, right?"
"Hey, look, the Master of Flames is over there."
The Ancestral Stone and the Great Desolation Stele exchanged a few whispered conversations, their voices tinged with excitement.
One after another, Crimson Dragon composed entirely of endless magma converged in the void to form a vast, ever-churning Magma Lake, upon which a mysterious figure slept peacefully.
The mysterious figure was tall and slender with a handsome face. His long, fiery red hair was casually draped over his shoulders, like a blazing Flame. His fingers were intertwined in front of his chest, his eyes were closed, and he was sleeping peacefully.
Even a powerful expert who has stepped into the Life and Death Mysterious Stage will have their internal Origin Energy strangely burning if they accidentally stare at it for too long. Note that this is not an illusion, but a real burning.
No one could have imagined that beneath this An Ran sleeping man lay the very culprit that had ignited the Ancient Great War —the army of Tens of Millions of Yi Mo.
He is the Master of Flames among the Eight Ancient Masters!
"The Master of Flames, one of the Eight Ancient Masters... I remember this guy seems to like the Ice Master, right? He's my rival in love, should I...?"
At that moment, a strange thought suddenly surfaced in Lin Dong's mind.
