Chapter Summaries

Lin Feng and his companions searched the Tagor Desert for a powerful Fire Attribute spiritual object and discovered an Earth Core Flame Spirit beneath a magma field. After Lin Feng collected it, the group realized the Heavenly Flame they sought was likely farther into the desert, near the Snake People Tribe.
