Breaking Through the Tower

"Bang!"

A faint sound, like a heartbeat, suddenly emanated from the crowd as they waited.

The others didn't notice the subtle sound, but Lin Ming's heart started pounding along with it.

"Bang!"

A short while later, the throbbing sound rang out again, and the amplitude of the throbbing was much greater than the first time.

"Bang!"

Shortly after that sound, another one rang out, then the interval shortened again, and yet another one followed...

As time went on, the eerie sound grew increasingly rapid. And by then, more and more people could sense this beating. Finally, many were horrified to discover that their own heartbeats were perfectly synchronized with the sound!

"What... what's going on? Why is my heart suddenly beating out of control?"

"Yes! At this rate, I feel like my heart is going to shatter."

"Lin Ming, do you know what happened?" Although the sound of the heartbeat was under his control and had little effect on his own heartbeat, he was still Dou King Expert, and if he was affected, one could imagine what it would be like for those Da Dou Shi) Dou Ling) below. So Shao Qing asked Lin Ming.

"Boom!"

A thunderous roar erupted from inside the tower as Shao Qing finished speaking.

"Grumble!"

A violent, piercing Sound Wave boom immediately followed the explosion, causing some people to experience splitting headaches.

"Damn it, what kind of terrifying Magical Beasts is being imprisoned in the magma beneath this tower? There have been vibrations before, but now it's getting worse after all these years." Hearing the piercing, shrill sound, Shao Qing couldn't help but curse out loud.

"Lin Ming, why are you looking at me like that?" After scolding him, Shao Qing noticed that Lin Ming's gaze had focused on him and immediately asked again.

Although he really wanted to say, "You guessed right," he obviously couldn't say that. So, after Shao Qing asked, Lin Ming replied, "It's nothing! I just think your idea is very novel."

As Lin Ming finished speaking, a thunderous roar that resounded throughout the Inner Academy suddenly rang out from inside the tower.

"All elders, proceed to the tower immediately! All students, stay at least 100 meters away from the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower!"

As the thunderous roar echoed through the Inner Academy, the space around the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower rippled. Then, with a powerful surge of energy, a multicolored Energy Shield, resembling a dome, instantly enveloped the top of the tower.

"Something really has happened. Even Energy Barrier of this level has been activated." Jin Feng had been silent until now, couldn't help but speak up as he sensed the powerful energy emanating from the Energy Shield.

Although Jin Feng's family wasn't considered powerful in the Middle Continent, they did have Dou Zong Old Ancestor within the Middle Continent, so their knowledge and experience were quite remarkable.

He had only witnessed Energy Shield of this magnitude once before, but that was when his family Old Ancestor activated the family defense against a Dou Zong expert of the same level. The Energy Shield activated in the Inner Academy now was almost identical in terms of fluctuations and energy waves.

"Let's go, let's see if there's anything we can do to help!" Since Great Elder Su Qian had said that all the elders should go, Lin Ming, although he had only been an elder for a few days and didn't know anything about the sealing and defense of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, knew that he should go no matter what. So much so that Jin Feng and Shao Qing saw Lin Ming extend his wings and fly away as soon as he finished speaking.

Seeing Lin Ming leave, Jin Feng and Shao Qing exchanged a glance. Considering that this was, after all, the Inner Academy they had cultivated for several years, they immediately extended their wings and followed him.

"Boom!"

Just as Lin Ming and his companions approached the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, they saw a surge of blood-red, scorching magma erupt like lightning, finally crashing into the colorful Energy Shield with a furious roar!

The seemingly extremely sturdy, colorful Energy Shield shattered in less than a moment under the increasingly terrifying and violent energy of the blood-red, scorching magma!

As the Energy Shield shattered, a massive pillar of crimson magma, nearly ten zhang wide, surged forth from below, crashing against the surrounding energy walls and slamming into the very top of the tower in the astonished gazes of the onlookers.

"Bang!"

A deep, thunderous roar suddenly boomed in everyone's ears. In this collision, which felt like meteorites crashing together, Lin Ming and the other two could clearly feel the entire Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower tremble violently.

The crimson magma pillar crashed heavily against the tip of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower, but the tower did not shatter due to its fierce, unstoppable momentum.

At the moment of impact, a thin, dark Energy Shield immediately appeared on the pitch-black spire. Although this Energy Shield seemed so thin, barely thicker than a finger, it was this thin layer of dark energy that held back the ferocious magma pillar.

After the crimson magma's impact failed, countless fragments of rock shot out from the magma, eventually splashing onto the surrounding Energy Shield.

The moment these ejected fragments came into contact with the Energy Shield, they were pulverized by the violent energy Energy Shield from it.

However, at this moment, the crimson magma pillar did not recede. After descending only a few feet, scorching waves began to surge on the crimson magma. A moment later, the waves suddenly surged, and an enormous, transparent Fire Python slowly emerged from the fire waves, revealing a huge and ferocious head.

"Gurgle"

Gazing at that enormous body, which was merely the head and a section of the body revealed by the invisible fire python, one wondered how large it would be once fully revealed. At this moment, among Lin Ming's three companions, Shao Qing and Jin Feng involuntarily swallowed, and Shao Qing exclaimed in horror, "What... what is this thing?"

Although Shao Qing had just mentioned that some terrifying Magical Beasts was imprisoned down there, it was just something he said casually with his friends; he didn't actually believe that any Magical Beasts was being imprisoned in the lava beneath the tower.

However, the enormous, invisible fire python that had been revealed, with its bloodthirsty Killing Intent emanating from its cold, triangular eyes, stared at everyone present, all of which indicated that this was indeed a super Magical Beasts that was terrifying beyond measure.
