Perfect: Many children, many blessings! Join the chat group!

Lin Dong excitedly accepted the leaping flame.

He could clearly sense the fire elemental energy contained within it.

The Heartfire of the Fallen Heart Flame was exactly what he needed for body tempering, but he also knew that now was not the time to refine the strange fire. So he carefully put away the essence of the Fallen Heart Flame and prepared to refine it after this trip was over.

"Let's go down immediately without delay."

With a flick of his sleeve, Yao Lao unleashed a gentle burst of fighting spirit that transformed into a transparent light shield that enveloped Zhu Chen and his group.

Protected by the aura shield, Zhu Chen and the others jumped into the boundless lava lake without hesitation.

The world beneath the lava lake was unbearably hot. Even with the protective aura of Yao Lao, a nine-star Dou Sheng, shielding them from the heat, everyone could still feel the terrifyingly high temperatures outside, enough to incinerate mountains and boil seas.

Furthermore, lava can obstruct the view.

The deeper Zhu Chen and his companions went into the lava lake, the more their vision was obstructed. All they could see was churning crimson, and occasionally, invisible forces of inner fire would seep in, attempting to scorch their souls.

Yao Lao manipulated the battle qi shield, which, like a bubble, led everyone to descend deeper into the lava lake.

The surroundings were eerily silent, except for the low rumbling sound of the flowing lava.

After descending for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the lava ahead suddenly emitted strange fluctuations.

"Be careful, we may have stumbled into the lava lava's lair."

Zhu Chen's gaze sharpened slightly, and he spoke up to remind him.

He remembered that in the original story, this magma world was not peaceful at all.

"—Whoosh!"

"—Whoosh!"

"—Whoosh!"

As soon as Zhu Chen finished speaking, dozens of dark figures suddenly sprang out from the surrounding dark red magma!

These shadowy figures moved incredibly fast, closing in on the light barrier in the blink of an eye.

Upon closer inspection, everyone discovered that they were enormous lizard-like creatures covered in dark red scales.

"They are fire salamanders, and there are quite a few of them!"

Xiao Yan murmured solemnly.

These fire salamanders are not very intelligent, but they are extremely xenophobic and will attack any creature that enters their territory relentlessly.

Some of the fire lizards were exceptionally large, and their aura even put considerable pressure on Lin Dong and Naruto, suggesting their strength was comparable to that of a Dou Zun powerhouse.

"--Roar!"

Dozens of fire lizards roared simultaneously and launched an attack on the battle aura shield from all directions.

Their sharp claws and venomous breath slammed into the light barrier, instantly creating ripples.

"Hmph, a bunch of beasts, how dare you block our way?"

The old apothecary remained expressionless, merely letting out a cold snort, as a vast, ocean-like soul power swept out, directly colliding with the group of fire lizards.

"Puff puff!"

With a series of muffled explosions, the fire lizards' bodies burst open like balloons, turning into clouds of blood mist that were swallowed by the surrounding lava, leaving no remains behind.

When Yao Lao made his move this time, he deliberately released a trace of his own aura, which belonged to the peak of the Nine-Star Dou Sheng realm.

This aura, like the arrival of a monarch, carried supreme majesty and spread outwards from the light barrier into the surrounding magma world. Some fire lizards that had been lurking in the distance, some even possessing strength at the Dou Sheng level, immediately fled the area upon sensing Yao Lao's aura.

In an instant, the magma lake, which was originally fraught with danger, became eerily quiet, like a dead land.

"Teacher is awesome! With you here, these fire lizards are nothing to worry about."

Xiao Yan smiled and flattered Yao Lao.

The old doctor smiled helplessly, and was about to say something when his gaze unconsciously turned to the front.

From the lava ahead, an invisible flame, emitting a faint glow, drifted leisurely toward them.

This is also a fallen heart flame.

However, it was very small in size, and the aura it emitted was far less than that of the Fallen Heart Flame that had been subdued by the old man of medicine.

However, at its core, there was a faint, extremely weak fluctuation of soul energy.

A knowing glint flashed in the old doctor's eyes.

He stretched out his finger and gently touched the drifting strange fire, infusing it with a pure stream of soul power.

“——Buzz!”

The strange flame trembled slightly.

Then, a somewhat ethereal soul was drawn out from within.

The soul looked around blankly at first, but when its gaze fell on Yao Lao and Zhu Chen and the others behind him, its face immediately lit up with ecstasy.

"I am Yao Tianhuo, also known as Venerable Tianhuo. I thank you all for your help in awakening me from this chaotic prison!"

Yao Tianhu bowed deeply to Yao Lao and Zhu Chen, among others, displaying an extremely humble attitude.

Zhu Chen and Xiao Yan had both read the original novel "Battle Through the Heavens," so they naturally knew the origin of the Yaotian Flame.

Before Yaotianhuo could ask for help, Zhu Chen handed over the authority to deal with Yaotianhuo to Xiao Yan.

After all, he's the main character here.

Looking at the illusory soul of Yao Tianhuo, Xiao Yan thought of the old man in the original story who was a decent helper in the later stages and whose character was also acceptable. So he stepped forward and said frankly, "Venerable Tianhuo, there's no need for formalities. Meeting is fate. I will take you away from this place, but your soul is too weak right now. Let it reside in this strange fire seed for now to be nurtured. After we finish dealing with the important matters here, if there is an opportunity, we may be able to find a suitable body for you to help you revive."

As he spoke, Xiao Yan reached out and drew over the nascent Fallen Heart Flame along with the soul of the Radiant Heavenly Flame.

Yao Tianhuo was overjoyed upon hearing this.

He had only wanted these people to take him away from this place.

Unexpectedly, the other party even promised to revive me!
This was an incredible blessing for him.

"Thank you so much, young friend! Thank you so much, young friend! I will never forget this kindness and virtue!"

Yao Tianhuo was so excited that even his soul trembled slightly, and he repeatedly bowed and thanked Xiao Yan and the others.

However, after calming down, Yao Tianhuo seemed to remember something, and his expression suddenly became serious again.

He pointed to the deeper part of the lava lake and warned Xiao Yan, "Everyone, the deepest part of this lava lake is extremely dangerous and should not be ventured into lightly. There seems to be an extremely terrifying space there. Back then, I attracted the siege of the real powerhouses of the Fire Lizard Clan because I approached that place. There... there may be Dou Sheng powerhouses, or even something more terrifying!"

However, faced with Yao Tianhuo's solemn warning, Zhu Chen and the others merely exchanged glances, each revealing a strange smile.

Xiao Yan's lips curled into a smile as he calmly said, "The bottom of this lava lake is the site of the legacy left behind by the ancient emperor Tuoshe, so of course it's dangerous!"
