Encirclement

After diving deeper for a while, the number of Flame Lizardman increased, and Xiao Yan was unable to find a gap and was completely surrounded.

Among the group of Flame Lizardman, there were two beings whose bodies were entirely milky white.

They appeared to be much older than the other Flame Lizardman, and the two white lizardmen were far stronger than the others, reaching the level of Half-Saint.

Looking at this living, powerful Flame Lizardman, Xiao Yan couldn't help but marvel at the Skyfire Venerable's good fortune.

Fortunately, they only encountered some mid-level Flame Lizardman. If they had encountered a Half-Saint level being like this, let alone surviving in this Magma World for so many years, they wouldn't even have been able to leave behind a trace of their soul.

"Human, this is the God's Graveyard, not a place for you. Retreat immediately, or you will awaken the guardians and be buried here forever!"

As Xiao Yan stopped, one of the two white lizardmen, unlike the other Flame Lizardman could only shout, began to speak human language.

Although his speech was somewhat halting, the fragmented words still reached Xiao Yan's ears.

"The God's Graveyard, guardian..."

Upon hearing these two words, Xiao Yan's eyes flashed.

Zhu Kun, the guardian of the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, is indeed incredibly powerful.

However, even with the advantage of possessing a magical beast body, especially a top-tier magical beast, Zhu Kun, at his level of strength, could not gain an absolute advantage over Gu Yuan and Hun Tiandi.

Moreover, the most powerful beings on the Dou Qi Continent today are not Zhu Kun, Gu Yuan, and Hun Tiandi, who are only one step away from becoming Dou Di.

It was the Emperor-Grade Embryonic Pill in the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion, whose terrifying power was such that even if Zhu Kun and the others joined forces, they would not be a match for it.

However, although the Emperor-Grade Embryonic Pill is extremely powerful, it has a fatal weakness: it can be countered by the Pill Transformation Divine Art performed through the Tou She Ancient God Jade.

Otherwise, rashly opening the Tou She Ancient God's Cave Mansion and allowing this Emperor-Grade Embryonic Pill to be born might cause unforeseen complications.

Despite being surrounded by a group of Flame Lizardman, Xiao Yan crossed his arms and quietly gazed at the densely packed creatures.

Amidst the surging crimson flames of the lava field, Xiao Yan calmly asked, "Can you stop me?"

"Humans, leave immediately, or die!"

The two milky-white Flame Lizardman, their cold pupils fixed on Xiao Yan, slowly uttered in halting tones.

As the two Flame Lizardman finished speaking, a fierce glint appeared in the eyes of the surrounding Flame Lizardman.

A deep light burst forth from within them, and the scales on the bodies of the Flame Lizardman seemed to darken considerably.

Xiao Yan remained unusually calm, showing no change in expression despite the surging killing intent around him.

If he hadn't already thoroughly understood the situation of this Magma World —that although the Flame Lizardman were numerous, their strongest members were only at the level of Half-Saint —even though he had now broken through to the Two-Star Dou Saint, he wouldn't have dared to come rashly.

"I'm determined to conquer this Magma World today!"

Facing two Half-Saint and some Dou Zun and other Flame Lizardman of varying strengths, Xiao Yan was not intimidated in the slightest.

Xiao Yan merely chuckled, and a vast surge of soul power, as swift as lightning, rapidly spread out from between his brows.

As Xiao Yan's immense soul power rapidly rippled outwards, the magma began to churn violently, with a faint rumbling sound resembling muffled thunder emanating from it.

Immediately afterwards, the bodies of the numerous Flame Lizardman around them trembled violently, as if struck by a bolt from the blue, causing their very souls to tremble.

Some of the weaker Flame Lizardman were unable to withstand the terrifying pressure that seemed like divine might, and immediately panicked, their formation collapsing.

Upon witnessing this scene, the expressions of the two pale-faced Flame Lizardman changed drastically.

However, before they could react, the magma in front of them suddenly exploded with a loud bang, and an indescribable, vast wave violently burst forth from their bodies.

With a deafening explosion, thousands of feet of scalding magma rapidly spread, blasting the two strongest white Flame Lizardman away.

Moreover, he spat out several mouthfuls of blood, staring at Xiao Yan with eyes full of deep horror.

This was the first time they had ever encountered such a powerful intruder since they could remember!

Xiao Yan's expression was extremely fierce, and his thunderous shout once again carried with it an incomparably vast fluctuation of soul power, spreading fiercely throughout this Magma World.

Its immense power caused waves to surge across a vast area of tens of thousands of feet in this Magma World.

The sound waves rippled outwards, and the Flame Lizardman that had surrounded Xiao Yan were all blasted away.

However, Xiao Yan controlled his power extremely well. Although he sent these Flame Lizardman flying far away, he did not kill any of them directly.

In an instant, Xiao Yan turned this magma bottom upside down.

Even after being forced back a considerable distance, the originally fierce-looking Flame Lizardman continued to retreat in horror.

From a great distance, they stared in awe at the figure that resembled a demon god.

The terrifying pressure on their souls caused them to tremble incessantly, as if it would never stop.

"You will be punished by the gods for trespassing on the God's Graveyard!"

The two pale-faced Flame Lizardman swallowed the sweet, metallic blood in their mouths and roared hoarsely.

Xiao Yan smiled faintly at these threatening words, not taking them to heart.

He knew far more about this Magma World than these Flame Lizardman, and as long as he didn't act impulsively, he was practically safe.

Gazing at the dark magma below, Xiao Yan's eyes blazed with boundless fervor. After licking his lips, he transformed into a streak of fire once more and dashed towards the bottom of the magma like lightning.

Seeing Xiao Yan's unyielding figure, the Flame Lizardman hesitated for a moment before finally deciding not to stop him. Judging from the previous situation, they understood that if Xiao Yan hadn't held back, they would probably have been wiped out long ago.

"Foolish humans, you're courting death!"

The two white-bodied Flame Lizardman exchanged a glance, then snorted coldly, their figures flashing as they merged into the magma and swiftly sped away into the distance.

Without the obstruction of these Flame Lizardman, Xiao Yan's speed increased even further.

However, the lava was much deeper than he had imagined!
