Heavenly Flame Venerate

"So this is the Flame Lizard, the guardian creature of the Emperor Tomb." As the image appeared in his mind, Lin Ming's thoughts also began to wander.

In his mind, more and more Flame Lizard in the magma appeared. As his Soul Power deepened, the aura of these Flame Lizard gradually intensified, and several of them exuded a powerful aura that made Lin Ming frown.

In his mind, besides the increasing number of Flame Lizard appearing, the rate of their spread also slowed down as the dark red color of the magma deepened.

"It seems I'm almost at the limit of my Soul Power!" Feeling the strain on his Soul Power, Lin Ming thought to himself and prepared to stop extending Soul Power. However, at the very moment he withdrew, a different scene suddenly appeared in his mind.

Suddenly, a slow, creeping movement emanated from somewhere within the magma, and then a transparent halo emitting a faint glow appeared through the magma vortex.

Within the halo, there was nothing else but a skeleton that had turned to white bones. A faint fluorescent glow emanated from the skeleton.

"I never expected that after this advancement, my Soul Power would extend and I would discover this place directly." As this scene appeared, Lin Ming immediately said with joy.

Having read the original novel, Lin Ming naturally knew that this place was the hiding place of the Heavenly Flame Venerate. And the fluorescent light emanating from the skeleton was definitely the Juvenile Stage Fallen Heart Flame.

"Now that we've discovered it, we can't miss this opportunity!" As soon as he withdrew his Soul Power, Lin Ming immediately stood up, attached a Soul Imprint to the Lotus Pedestal, and his whole body was engulfed in a burst of tender Yellow Flame. His figure then rapidly traversed downwards into the magma.

Although I've only just advanced and should be familiarizing myself with the terrain, the layout of the Flame Lizard in the magma was completely revealed in my mind when I extended my Soul Power earlier. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If I spend time familiarizing myself with it now, who knows if the Flame Lizard's positions will change? If they do, encountering those powerful ones would be troublesome. Therefore, setting off now is the best choice.

As he descended, the intense heat and pressure surged from all directions, as if trying to crush Lin Ming into a pulp. At this moment, Lin Ming could only be thankful that he had advanced to the Dou Emperor level, and that his flames were greatly enhanced after the fusion of two different flames; otherwise, getting here would have been almost impossible.

"Chirp chirp!"

As they descended deeper, the dense Flame Lizard eventually spotted Lin Ming. Amidst their incessant chirping, the Flame Lizard opened and closed their mouths, rapidly spewing out head-sized fireballs of magma, shooting them relentlessly towards Lin Ming.

With a ghostly movement, Lin Ming dodged each of the incoming magma fireballs. However, when he saw the Flame Lizard continuously spewing out powerful magma fireballs, Lin Ming immediately frowned slightly.

With a slight movement of his brow, ripples appeared in the magma, and suddenly a figure appeared in front of a Flame Lizard.

Who else could this figure be but Lin Ming?

Reaching the Flame Lizard, Lin Ming immediately bent his five fingers together, forming a chop motion, and plunged it directly into the magma creature's chest like a thunderbolt.

Although the lava creature's scales were quite hard, Lin Ming's fiery hand blade easily pierced through its chest, just like cutting tofu.

Suffering such a fatal blow, the Flame Lizard struggled violently. Its narrow eyes flashed with ferocity, and sharp chirps came from its mouth, spreading rapidly like ripples in the magma.

With a thud, Lin Ming pulled his hand out of the Flame Lizard's body, and then, ignoring the Flame Lizard whose life had vanished, he rushed towards the other fire lizards.

After a few breaths, looking at the several Flame Lizard that had all fallen, and then at the several crimson beads in his palm that contained a rather powerful and violent fire-attribute energy and emitted a faint, blazing light, Lin Ming knew that these were the things inside the Flame Lizard, like the Magical Beast Core.

Although these beads contain chaotic and violent Fire Poison, it's no problem for someone like me who possesses Heavenly Flames. So, refining these beads will save me some time in my cultivation.

Just as he put the beads away, a violent commotion rapidly arose from the west of the lava. Then, behind the lava, a large group of red figures swarmed in like a school of fish. Their fierce eyes and sharp teeth made Lin Ming have no doubt that if he were to be surrounded, his fate would be dire.

"Fortunately, the hiding place isn't far away, otherwise..." Lin Ming couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine at the thought of being surrounded. In that instant, the pale yellow flame left a fleeting afterimage in the crimson lava and vanished from the spot.

"Chirp chirp!"

Upon arriving at the scene and discovering that the person who had killed their kind had escaped, a large swarm of Flame Lizard roared and chirped. Fueled by these cries, the swarm of Flame Lizard raced at full speed toward the pale Yellow Flame.

Seeing the new Flame Lizard constantly joining behind him, and especially sensing the auras of several extremely powerful Flame Lizard, Lin Ming dared not stop for a moment, wishing he could use every ounce of strength he had.

Fortunately, after the descent, the destination wasn't far to begin with, and with his current full-speed rush regardless of the energy expenditure, a transparent halo emitting a faint white light had already appeared in Lin Ming's eyes ahead.

"Haha! We've finally arrived. Goodbye, Lizardmen!" Lin Ming was overjoyed at the light barrier ahead. He made a mocking face at the Flame Lizard chasing behind him and then accelerated towards the light barrier.

As the flames rose, a gap appeared in the light shield upon contact, allowing Lin Ming to merge into it without any hindrance.

As Lin Ming entered the transparent light barrier, the surrounding magma immediately began to writhe again, then slowly rotated, and mysteriously disappeared under the watchful eyes of the many lizardmen.

Moments after entering the light barrier, several blood-red figures shot in like lightning, finally appearing in this lava area.

Upon seeing these figures, the surrounding Flame Lizardman immediately knelt down.

Several blood-red figures remained in the area, staring fiercely at the spot where the light barrier had disappeared, letting out angry roars. However, they were powerless to do anything about it. After a few angry roars, the blood-red figures could only glare at the light barrier one last time before slowly leaving with their group of lizardmen.

Watching the Flame Lizard leave, Lin Ming turned his gaze to the skeleton, and then exclaimed with delight, "Haha, my senses were right! There's still a Fallen Heart Flame here!"
