He Xian did not linger long and continued on his way.
Before long, he saw a swath of crimson that covered the land, stretching beyond the limits of sight.
What sea was this now?
At a glance, it was a magnificent sight. A crimson ocean churned, waves of scorching heat rolling toward him, stirring and searing the heart.
Vegetation had long since vanished from this place, and there were no mountains either. This was a blazing ancient land.
It was magma.
Yet it rivaled an ocean, so vast that it had no end. Crimson filled his vision, the magma surging, vivid red as blood.
"Where have I ended up?" He Xian was truly at a loss for words. This magma was far too vast. A lake would have been one thing, but this was a sea.
This time, he did not choose to take a detour, because the intense heat posed no danger to him.
Moreover, he spotted a broken stele nearby. Its inscription stated that there were no great dangers here and that it was safe to cross.
He Xian flew through the air above the magma at tremendous speed.
Boom!
An enormous strange fish suddenly leaped into the air, blazing light churning around it in a fiery red mass as it lashed out at He Xian.
It was a crimson fish suffused with golden light, swimming through the magma. Its massive body was like a small mountain.
Yet it was exceedingly cunning.
When its strike failed, it immediately shrank, then sank into the Lava Sea and swiftly disappeared.
He Xian was naturally displeased and unleashed a streak of divine light. Soon afterward, however, he frowned.
An unknown formation beneath the sea blocked his divine perception, allowing the strange fish to escape.
He Xian said nothing and continued onward.
