Ordinary magma generally reached temperatures of around a thousand degrees, but because it had nurtured a heavenly flame, the Magma Pool here maintained a steady temperature of around three thousand degrees.
Even a Dou Huang expert could not remain in it for long.
However, Xiao Yan possessed the myriad beast spirit flame, whose temperature exceeded ten thousand degrees. Flames cooler than that could essentially do him no harm.
Still, the myriad beast spirit flame was only ranked twenty-second on the Heavenly Flame Ranking. Moreover, it had only recently been born. If it truly encountered another heavenly flame, it would quickly fall into a disadvantage.
That was also why Xiao Yan was so eager to find a second heavenly flame.
The relationship between heavenly flames was not as simple as one plus one. All heavenly flames instinctively sought to devour one another. If different heavenly flames could be fused, the entirely new heavenly flame born from them could leap several places up the ranking!
Blood-red flames enveloped Xiao Yan, but the deeper he went, the greater the pressure became. Yet the Two-Headed Snake showed no intention of stopping and simply sped downward.
As time passed, even Xiao Yan began to feel a little pressure.
