Late at night, Jia Nan Academy lay peaceful and quiet. Long Xiao and Bai Ling'er arrived at the Heaven-Burning Qi Refining Tower.
The tower's restrictive arrays posed no obstacle to them, and Long Xiao and Bai Ling'er reached the Magma World at its lowest level.
Churning, scorching magma surrounded them.
Long Xiao surveyed the depths with his Extinction Immortal Eye. "There really is another world down here. That heavenly flame has already developed intelligence, but it won't be a problem. Little Gold can intimidate it. The trouble is the fire lizards below. Two of them have reached the Half-Saint level."
"Fire lizards?"
Puzzled, Bai Ling'er also looked down and faintly sensed living creatures swimming below.
She had seen no fire lizards on her last visit. Perhaps the Starmoon Protector's intimidating presence had kept them from approaching.
Bai Ling'er had already told Long Xiao roughly what she knew about the cave mansion. It lay farther below.
He had never expected a Peak Dou Sheng expert to be imprisoned here.
The two plunged into the magma. With Long Xiao's Golden Dragon Heaven-Burning Flame coating their bodies, they swam swiftly through it without revealing much of their aura.
After they had descended several hundred meters, an enormous flaming serpent suddenly blocked their path, flicking its forked tongue.
Bai Ling'er frowned slightly at the flaming serpent. "This is the fallen heart flame. It supplies the heart fire used for tempering in the Heaven-Burning Qi Refining Tower. We're very close to the tower's base. If we fight it here, the arrays above might shatter."
"Don't worry. I don't have time to waste on it."
A smile curved Long Xiao's lips as he looked at the enormous serpent formed from the fallen heart flame.
An enormous golden fire dragon silently appeared behind him.
Hiss! Hiss!
