A streak of light flashed across the Earth's core, leaving a long trail in the air.
The raging dragon surged wildly within the Earth's core, turning everything it crushed into a scorching inferno.
Chaotic energy still raged above the molten lava, and the area where Xu Long and the two gods had fought had been turned into a sea of fire.
At this moment, Xu Long was still retreating rapidly, and the energy caused by the explosion of the seal earlier had shattered the curtain wall defense.
Countless shockwaves raged within the sea of fire, and the churning heat surged higher and higher with each passing wave.
He is now operating his own Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon at full power, relying on the Celestial Phenomenon above his head to absorb the surging heat.
Under Xu Long's frantic operation, the Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon was already a fiery red, with most of the incoming heat being absorbed by the Nebula.
The Nebula is now spinning rapidly within the Milky Way, and the resulting vortex has obscured all the starlight.
The Spot starlight could no longer be seen within it; it seemed unable to penetrate the Nebula that had condensed into a vortex.
The crimson glow within grew brighter and brighter, and Xu Long felt as if something was being nurtured within it, a violent energy brewing within.
The Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon had undergone a complete transformation. The heat from the magma and sea of fire had been fully poured into it, and he was frantically operating the Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon in a way that was also a form of self-preservation.
After Xu Long unleashed his Spiritual Qi Bombardment, a section of the earth's crust completely collapsed, and his skin burst open inch by inch amidst the sea of fire.
Flames flickered between his flesh and blood, and he was bathed in the molten flames. From a distance, he looked like a human-shaped fireball. Within the sea of fire, Xu Long was just a blurry figure.
Under the impact of the surging heat, the Heaven-Burning Sacred Fire within his meridians also began to move uncontrollably.
Before he could even break free of the inferno, waves of lava surged towards him from behind.
The Nebula overhead had reached its limit, and the scorching heat turned everything into gas and dissipated.
Only Xu Long's blurry figure remained in the Earth's core, but the more critical the situation, the calmer Xu Long became.
At this moment, the crimson glow in the Celestial Phenomenon was growing brighter and brighter, and the enormous suction force was drawing in all the heat from the body.
As his body retreated rapidly, the excruciating pain in his soul lessened considerably, but the flames on his body continued to burn fiercely, as if they would never be extinguished.
Xu Long knew that the flames were caused by the heat wave. Only after the Celestial Phenomenon absorbed most of the heat could his Magic Power return to normal.
Then the refined Magic Power can be used to extinguish these flames throughout the body.
These heat waves have been lingering in the Earth's core for countless years, and the flames that rise from them possess a violent quality.
It remains hidden within the magma waves, but once ignited, it becomes an endless sea of fire.
Judging from the fact that the flames on Xu Long's body would not go out, it must be that the heat had planted fire poison in his body, leaving the source of the flames burning within his body.
This was like a time bomb. Although Xu Long could temporarily suppress it with the help of Celestial Phenomenon, the source of the fire poison still remained in his body.
It could erupt at any moment, plunging Xu Long back into the sea of fire he had conjured, ultimately annihilating his body and soul within the flames!
But at this point, there was no time to worry about anything else; Xu Long had to escape from the heat and sea of fire as quickly as possible.
As the Celestial Phenomenon moved, they absorbed the surging heat, and Xu Long also absorbed the spiritual energy from the Spirit Stone, even forming a small vortex of spiritual energy on his body.
The Spirit Stone resources he obtained from the Rogue Cultivators Association were being consumed more and more, and Xu Long's heart was bleeding!
These are all High-Grade Spirit Stone, comparable to rewards from the Divine Hall!
He secretly calculated that he had probably used up a total of eight thousand High-Grade Spirit Stone in this battle.
The fall of the two ancient gods damaged Xu Long and consumed a large amount of Spirit Stone.
He secretly felt fortunate that the youth hadn't been released into the passage. If more ancient gods had come to intercept him, then Spirit Stone the Rogue Cultivators Association would have been for nothing.
This earth's crust is located at the very center of the Land of Exile, the core of a world, where the heat and energy are inexhaustible. The 30,000 High-Grade Spirit Stone he condensed are completely insufficient.
At this moment, the heat flow in the Celestial Phenomenon increased, and Xu Long finally felt that he could return to normal.
When he circulated his Magic Power, he first suppressed the abnormal movement of the Heaven-Burning Sacred Fire within his body, and then began to circulate his Magic Power throughout his limbs and bones.
After the Magic Power was refined, the fire poison in his body was suppressed, and Xu Long felt as if a fierce energy was taking root in his body.
No matter what methods he used to expel or refine it, this energy remained rooted within his body.
The Power of Oblivion covered layer upon layer, but the potent energy remained, like a persistent, malignant tumor, tightly hidden within the body.
Xu Long's heart sank; he knew this was probably fire poison!
The heat flow has existed in the Earth's core for countless years, accumulating immense and powerful energy, which has been compressed layer upon layer in the magma waves.
Now that he is trapped in a sea of fire, engulfed by the heat and flames, the poison from the fire cannot be removed in a short time.
Knowing this, Xu Long had no choice but to use the Power of Oblivion to suppress the intense energy within his body before circulating his Magic Power throughout his entire body.
As Magic Power circulated throughout his body, the powerful Body of Oblivion regained its vitality.
Xu Long's blurred figure in the sea of fire began to return to normal, and the rolling flames were quickly extinguished by a peculiar energy.
His entire body seemed to be coated with a layer of light, from top to bottom, inside and out, the rolling flames were instantly calmed by the energy.
The heat wave emanating from him was completely extinguished by the energy, and Xu Long was Rebirth Divine Hall like Phoenix in the fire, possessing a brand new body in the sea of flames.
At this moment, he stood tall above the sea of fire, with the crimson Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon above his head and rolling waves of lava beneath his feet.
His aura was palpable, and despite the raging inferno in the heatwave, he remained unmoved, as majestic and extraordinary as the Zhurong, God of Fire.
As the Milky Way Celestial Phenomenon and Nebula above trembled in my eyes, the surging heat was completely absorbed into a certain area.
The Nebula vortex within finally stopped spinning, and amidst the crimson expanse, the Spot of starlight finally peeked through.
At this moment, the Celestial Phenomenon were even more mysterious and profound. The intensity of the heat flow was completely refined, and the remaining energy transformed into a crimson Nebula.
When Xu Long looked up at the Nebula, it was as if he were under a single sky. He couldn't help but let out a long roar:
"Imperial Edict!"
When the sound was uttered, the sound waves reverberated throughout the Earth's crust.
The surging energy passed through the Celestial Phenomenon, falling into the Milky Way and stirring up a burst of starlight.
The Spot starlight peeks through the reddish Nebula, creating a rather mysterious effect from a distance.
After the sound waves faded away, a whooshing sound suddenly came from beside my ear.
Xu Long's eyes flickered, a slight smile played on his lips, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes as he approached.
The sword light cut through the thorns and brambles behind, shattering countless waves of lava and surging heat along the way.
It is like an arrow that never bends, piercing through any obstacle in its path.
As the sword flashed through the sea of fire, it left a long trail.
The light in Xu Long grew brighter and brighter. It seemed to come from another world, carrying a surge of scalding energy as it passed right by Xu Long's side!
A rumbling sound rang out ahead, and Xu Long's figure followed the sword light and went forward.
He had previously strained his will to endure the intense burning sensation, searching for the faint flashes of lightning within the sea of fire. Now, he was fleeing in the direction of those flashes of lightning.
The Ancestral Spirit was trapped in the Center by the thirty-six Thunder God, so he must be within the lightning.
The city lord opened a passage within the earth's crust; by following the lightning, one can find the location of the Ancestral Spirit.
The sword light cut through the thorns and brambles ahead, and Xu Long's figure rode the wind and waves behind it.
A wave of heat swept in, igniting all the slag and debris in the area.
Scalding energy surged within the Earth's core, while scattered sword energy raged amidst the magma waves.
A long trail seemed to connect to the ground, carrying an indomitable momentum, as the sword light and Xu Long burst forth from the surging heat.
Following the direction their will had led them to, they sped off at top speed; every second counted!
On the other side of the Earth's crust, there are endless waves of magma.
Boiling lava flowed freely over the slag heap, raging flames swept through the air, and endless heat surged like waves.
A violent energy was suppressed in this area, and a white figure stood above the magma waves.
He stared blankly at the boiling lava beneath his feet, his open eyes seemingly searching for something beneath the lava, completely oblivious to the perilous scene around him.
The raging heat and sea of fire all around him dared not approach him; he was like a being independent of heaven and earth.
He has always been arrogant and aloof from the rules of the world, and even the natural forces of Land of Exile cannot violate him.
The Heaven Patroler gazed at the boiling lava in the sea of fire, his eyes seemingly lost in thought.
Distant memories told him that he had been to this place countless years ago, and had even fought a battle there.
But everything here seems to have changed. When did that sealed-off heat flow burst forth?
When did that boiling wave of lava engulf the slag heap?
The world changes, and time transforms everything. The immortals of yesteryear have all grown old, and the events of countless years ago have been buried in the dust of time.
When it surged up again, the Heaven Patroler only remembered that Feng Fuxi was still among them!
As he looked at the surging lava beneath him, he also released his will to search within the earth's crust, seemingly unconcerned about the corrosive heat and poison.
When the decaying will is released, it is incredibly powerful, its momentum comparable to the vast might of the heavens.
As it passed by a certain spot, it suddenly paused, as if it had discovered something.
The body, which had been stationary, suddenly moved, and then looked up at a certain place in the earth's crust.
A flicker of surprise flashed in his numb eyes, then vanished quickly, replaced by a hint of inquiry on his stiff face.
The overwhelming will quickly found the answer: somewhere within the earth's crust, an ancient god had fallen!
The Heaven Patroler's inquisitive expression instantly turned into a fierce one, and a flash of anger crossed his numb eyes.
As if something within his will had touched him, his stagnant figure shifted slightly above the magma waves, as if he were choosing a path.
The bronze sword on his back was trembling slightly, as if it had sensed its master's call.
As the Heaven Patroler faced the surging heat, its aura gradually increased.
Meanwhile, the lava waves beneath him were churning and gradually enveloping the Heaven Patroler.
The surging heat flowed silently toward the Heaven Patroler, and the intense energy within the Earth's crust began to gather around him.
A sharp light flashed in the Heaven Patroler's eyes, and the sea of magma and fire suddenly surged up, as if someone were deliberately urging it on.
The goal is to completely envelop it in air, trapping it with surging energy and extreme heat.
The enveloping energy was imbued with the power of nature, and when activated in an instant, it displayed a terrifying and earth-shattering force, leaving the Heaven Patroler within it with no way to escape.
At this moment, the anger in the Heaven Patroler's eyes completely transformed into rage, and the sharpness on his face was replaced by ferocity.
Despite the sweltering heat, he felt a chill running through him.
As he gazed at the scene beyond the sea of fire, a flash of lightning seemed to flicker in his eyes, a faint light carrying the aura of another person.
As the sea of fire raged beneath him, the lightning in his eyes was completely replaced by the blazing flames.
" Feng Fuxi! You're not dead yet?! You still dream that someone will come to your rescue?! You want to stop me?! You want to use methods from countless years ago to stop me?!"
"Since you're not dead, then I've come to the core area today to let you depart with a heart full of despair!"
The cold words were squeezed out from the depths of his heart, and the Heaven Patroler glanced coldly at the scene outside the sea of fire.
His gaze shot out like a beam of light, instantly piercing through the numerous obstacles in front of him, as if meeting the gaze of a being amidst a bolt of lightning.
The moment the two locked eyes, a bolt of lightning struck in mid-air, each emanating a powerful aura from within the earth's crust.
Within the Earth's crust, the Heaven Patroler's power grew ever stronger, and the intense energy surging forth before him rose ever higher.
The scalding energy, mixed with intense heat, triggered a series of explosions within the Earth's crust.
A rumbling sound echoed around the Heaven Patroler, and a glint of light suddenly flashed in his numb eyes.
At that moment, the sea of fire in front of him seemed to be targeted by something, and paused when his gaze swept over it.
The flickering flames were frozen in the piercing gaze, and the Heaven Patroler's stiff face exuded an imposing aura without anger.
He took a step forward nonchalantly, his gaze fixed on the flickering lightning, his strides growing longer and longer.
Then his figure entered the sea of fire, and the boiling magma instantly swallowed him up.
A clanging sound suddenly rang out, and the bronze sword on his back was drawn in an instant.
This sword was truly formidable; its sudden flash of cold light chilled the surrounding high temperature.
The surrounding heat was instantly swept away, and a sword aura pierced through the heat wave.
Within a radius of ten feet, there was no energy fluctuation. Despite the raging sea of fire and the surging lava, the Heaven Patroler remained completely calm.
His gaze shifted, looking at the heat currents gathering around him once more, with the bronze sword soaring high within them.
The Heaven Patroler knew that although Fuxi was Ancestral Spirit and had been sealed in the Center for countless years, he must not have completely perished.
Moreover, given the current state of the Earth's crust, there is still a possibility that it can escape!
I bear a heavy responsibility and cannot allow Fuxi any chance to escape. A great battle is inevitable within the earth's crust today!
