The scene instantly descended into chaos. No one had imagined that things would end up like this. They had been cautious in every possible way, yet they had still failed to guard against someone charging in.
Zhu Yan'er had not reacted at all either and was dragged into the passage by Ye Xiwen in an instant. By the time she came to her senses, she was overjoyed.
"Pick the Violet Azure Lotus Flame first!" Ye Xiwen shouted.
The two moved at tremendous speed, reaching the bottom of the valley almost in the blink of an eye.
Amid the washing tides of lava and temperatures of tens of millions of degrees, several flames swayed constantly like little boats adrift in wind and rain.
Zhu Yan'er beat her wings and swallowed one Violet Azure Lotus Flame in a single gulp. A terrifying power instantly erupted within her body, and every pore seemed to spew endless flames.
Ye Xiwen was even more ruthless, directly grabbing all three remaining Violet Azure Lotus Flames and tossing them into the Heavenly Origin Mirror.
The instant he seized the Violet Azure Lotus Flames, his entire palm nearly melted away. A heavenly treasure born amid such extreme heat naturally contained an unimaginably high temperature—absurdly high.
"Go!"
With a loud shout from Ye Xiwen, the two who had succeeded did not hesitate for even a moment, hurriedly flying toward the mouth of the valley.
Roar!
That terrifying ferocious beast had somehow already appeared at the valley entrance. Its enormous eyes were like giant millstones, savage and hideous.
Boom!
It opened its gaping maw and sprayed down a pillar of flame more than a hundred zhang thick. Wherever it passed, even the lava was churned into surging waves.
The two desperately flickered through the air, only barely avoiding the attack.
