Outside the island.
Yang Yi had dug out the Giant Crocodile Tooth Beast that had died earlier and made it part of the fuel, along with the other three newly arrived Giant Crocodile Tooth Beasts.
The fire grew stronger, gradually enveloping all of Steam Island and beginning to form replicas of Yang Yi's lower limbs. With those, he could use magic... or rather, martial techniques.
This was probably the largest Flame Giant Yang Yi had ever attempted to form, even larger than when he fought Charles. Its estimated height would exceed thirty thousand meters; after all, it had to accommodate Steam Island.
But the strain was less than Yang Yi had expected, even less than when he fought Charles. This was probably due to his increased strength and his earlier connection with Fang Leviathan, which had made him far more accustomed to a gigantic physique than before.
If not for the shortage of decent fuel, Yang Yi's Flame Giant body would probably have covered the entire island already.
"Almost there. I need to hurry..."
Yang Yi noticed that the high temperatures had already begun affecting Steam Island.
Although the island had been built with heat-insulating, blast-resistant protective layers to withstand the impact of a nuclear explosion, the constant roasting had begun melting the island itself, working inward from the outside.
So counting on conveyor belts or robots to keep delivering fuel was no longer realistic. Yang Yi could only fetch fuel himself, and even the island itself could count as fuel.
Suddenly, at roughly the Flame Giant's navel, an obese figure nearly a thousand meters tall burst out of Steam Island's molten outer wall, the mouth on his belly gaping wide as he lunged to bite the "bait" before him.
Even such an enormous fire had failed to burn this
