Reentering the Magma World

A dark mist slowly emerged from the fluctuating space, like a demon emerging from hell.

Amidst its ferocious screams, it violently flailed towards the surrounding space, but no matter how much strength and means it used, it still could not break free from the invisible restraints.

"How is this possible? How could you have discovered my whereabouts?" Xuan Protector roared hysterically.

Having silently followed the Earth Demon Old Ghost and other powerful figures from Demon Flame Valley, Xuan Protector originally thought he would gather a large number of souls at the Jia Nan Academy. Even if things changed, he could use his unpredictable ability to hide to leave quietly, as if he had never been there.

Unexpectedly, just as he saw the Earth Demon Old Ghost and his companions being annihilated and was preparing to leave, he was discovered!

Xiao Yi Xian, who had been searching for the Soul Hall Protector's whereabouts, was also greatly surprised.

She had originally thought that the Soul Hall Protector would launch a sneak attack while the Earth Demon Old Ghost was fighting Great Elder Su Qian, but she didn't expect that he would remain silent and not reveal the slightest trace.

In the end, Xiao Yan easily saw through the deception.

Given the Soul Hall Protector 'Soul Hall Protector level of concealment, Xiao Yan was already able to pinpoint their locations by observing differences in spatial temperature when he was cultivating the Emperor Flame Divine Eyes using the Bone Spirit Cold Flame, let alone now.

Xiao Yan flicked his finger, and a jade bottle flew out, circling twice in front of the black mist. A powerful suction force burst out from the bottle, drawing all the black mist into it.

With the Earth Demon Old Ghost and the Soul Hall Protector dealt with, the crisis at the Jia Nan Academy was instantly resolved.

Actually, the Earth Demon Old Ghost is nothing, and the Soul Hall Protector is also a minor matter. However, the Soul Hall Protector is very elusive. If we cannot capture him directly and let him escape, it will trigger a huge change.

Jia Nan Academy returned to peace. Xiao Yan followed Su Qian and the others to a spacious living room deep within the Inner Academy. The group of people poured in, filling the room to capacity.

The group sat at separate tables, chatting quietly among themselves. Xiao Yan also briefly recounted what he had been doing recently.

Upon hearing that Xiao Yan had already established a certain level of influence in Central Plains, they were all greatly shocked.

The Central Plains region is a sacred cultivation ground on the Dou Qi Continent, a place where hidden talents abound, and developing one's career there is no easy task.

Even with some family background, it's difficult to gain a foothold in one place, let alone without any foundation, which shows Xiao Yan's extraordinary abilities.

After chatting for a while, Su Qian and the others got busy. Now that the Earth Demon Old Ghost and the Soul Hall Protector were gone, they could finally do the things they hadn't done before.

Xiao Yan did not participate in it, but instead went to the Magma World beneath the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower once again.

At the bottom of that tower, the world was almost devoid of life, with scorching magma flowing freely, and even the energy there was filled with a hint of rage.

This place, which is almost a dead end for the Jia Nan Academy and which ordinary people would avoid like the plague, is Xiao Yan's favorite place for cultivation.

After some years, Xiao Yan couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy as he entered the Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower again.

When he first came here, he cultivated with Xiao Xun'er for a period of time. Now, he has finally surpassed the effects of the Dou Di Bloodline and reached the Dou Sheng level ahead of others.

Such a level of strength is rare even among the Ancient Clan.

The Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower now uses the nascent Fallen Heart Flame as its core fire. With the resources provided by the Jia Nan Academy, the nascent Fallen Heart Flame has grown considerably since then.

Jia Nan Academy went to great lengths to cultivate this Fallen Heart Flame, but fortunately, it was all well worth it.

The Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower is now far more effective than it was back then. After all, the mature Fallen Heart Flame of that time would never obey their commands, but the current Fallen Heart Flame, due to its long-term cultivation, does not resist their commands at all.

The Heavenly Burning Qi Refining Tower has been open for some time, and only a few figures remain in its vast space, searching for empty cultivation rooms.

With a few flashes, Xiao Yan transformed into a streak of black light and plunged directly into the Magma World within the passage below.

Just as when I left last time, this Magma World was still a crimson color, stretching as far as the eye could see without any end in sight.

Xiao Yan hovered above the magma, his eyes sparkling with multicolored light.

This Magma World is extremely dangerous for the Jia Nan Academy, and it's not absolutely safe even for Two-Star Dou Saint powerhouse like him.

Beneath this magma lies the greatest treasure on the Dou Qi Continent, the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, where two opportunities to advance to the Dou Di reside.

However, Xiao Yan has no intention of going to the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion at the moment.

Heavenly Flames slowly emerged from his body. After the Emperor Flame Immortal Armor condensed from his body, Xiao Yan transformed into a streak of fire and plunged into the magma with a splash, creating waves of lava.

Once inside the magma, Xiao Yan charged forward at an extremely fast speed.

The scorching magma around him would automatically evaporate as soon as it approached Xiao Yan's Xiao Yan, completely clearing a three-foot radius around him with the protective capabilities of the Emperor Flame Immortal Armor.

Xiao Yan's strength is now many times greater than it was back then, and his rapid descent did not disturb the special Flame Lizardman creatures born from the Magma World.

In about half an hour, Xiao Yan gradually went deeper into the magma.

However, at this depth, Xiao Yan's speed also decreased.

As he ventured deeper, Xiao Yan arrived at the territory inhabited by the even more powerful Flame Lizardman.

Xiao Yan gazed calmly at the surrounding magma. He could sense many hidden auras rapidly approaching him.

Moreover, these auras were far stronger than those of the Flame Lizardman had previously been around the level of Dou Wang or Dou Emperor.

Xiao Yan had no intention of fighting these Flame Lizardman. He stomped his foot and, like a dragon, continued his downward descent.

As he hurtled downwards at breakneck speed, waves of immense energy surged forth from between his brows. Instantly, the surrounding magma exploded, and figures hidden within the magma let out shrill screams!

As these screams appeared, the surrounding magma suddenly rippled violently. Then, Xiao Yan saw countless crimson figures surging in from all directions, eventually surrounding him completely.

Xiao Yan's gaze swept over these lizard-like magma creatures, and his speed suddenly increased dramatically. He quickly passed through the encirclement of the Flame Lizardman, much faster than these creatures in the magma.
