Boom!
The rock walls on both sides of the Rift were collapsing madly.
Massive chunks of red-hot basalt crashed down, but before they could reach the Abyss-Armored Earth Dragon's back, they were forcefully blasted away by a grayish domain and shattered into debris.
The Abyss-Armored Earth Dragon plunged downward with its eyes shut, howling in a voice like a broken gong.
"Slow down, Master! There's an Earthfire Baleful Vein below!"
"With ten-thousandfold gravity and earth-core fire poison, even my armor plates are about to melt!"
Its enormous, bloated body struggled helplessly within the narrow rock crevice. Its once-indestructible dark back armor had been roasted glowing red by the geothermal heat, and the explosive crackling of Bone Fragments expanding under the heat could even be heard.
Lin Feng stood steadily atop its blood-grooved spine, the Myriad Tribulations Heavenly Halberd angled downward. He did not sway in the slightest.

The Earth Dragon shrank its neck, its howl stuck in its throat. Its four thick claws desperately clawed through the dense dark-red magma.
Not only did their descent not slow, it became even faster.
The Absolute Forbidden Zone contracted to within thirty meters around them.
The temperature outside had long surpassed the melting point of ordinary refined iron, and even the air carried a pungent scorched smell.
