The temperature within the boundary stopped at around forty degrees. The magma in the cracks in the ground was blocked outside by the boundary, and didn't affect Han Shuo and the other two inside.
Marceau was obviously very strained during this process. The boundary was filled with a large amount of magical elements, which meant that she had expended a lot of mental strength to control the movement of the boundary.
After the entire boundary had shrunk to three to four meters, it became a bit crowded. In addition, the temperature inside was at forty degrees. Although it didn't burn everything like the outside, it still made people feel wet and uncomfortable.
However, Han Shuo's body could easily handle this level of temperature. Even if he didn't activate his magical yuan to resist it, Han Shuo didn't lie down with his body drenched in sweat. Instead, he used this rare free time to sit down and meditate to recover the magical yuan he had just expended.
The beautiful female knight, Sophie, was wearing tight clothes that stuck to her beautiful body. Her clothes were drenched in sweat, as if she had just finished bathing and walked out of the bath, accentuating the curves of her body. Due to the high temperature, fragrant sweat flowed all over her body, and her breathing was uneven. She kept waving her hands to fan herself, as if she wanted to cool herself.
Fire grand magus Marceau was completely focused on controlling the boundary. She was as focused as Han Shuo. The wrinkles on her face were like ravines, and they were also filled with sweat. They couldn't help but slowly flow down her body due to the influence of gravity.
The two yin demons were placed in the valley and observed everything that happened outside, so that Han Shuo could understand the situation above at any time and make accurate decisions.
After falling into the cracks in the magma, the boundary sunk all the way down. The surrounding flames burned fiercely, and some of the magma exploded in all directions with a loud rumble that shook the earth and mountains. When the magma hit the surface of the boundary, beautiful sparks appeared, presenting a beautiful scene of a sea of fire.
Unfortunately, of the three people in the boundary, Han Shuo and Marceau were too focused to pay attention to the scenery around them. Female knight Sophie was wet all over and uncomfortable, and there was also a ball of anxious flames burning in her heart. Naturally, she didn't have the mind to pay attention to the beautiful scenery around her.
Amidst the blazing and gorgeous sparks, the three of them gradually sank along with the barrier. Among them, fire grand magus Marceau controlled the boundary to shift its direction and slowly descend into the depths of the earth's core. She seemed to be familiar with the situation here.
Finally, the moving boundary suddenly came to a halt. Han Shuo instantly opened his eyes and sized up the scenery around him with glistening eyes. In the shortest amount of time possible, he imprinted the scenery around him into his mind.
The first thing that came into view was a wide lake of fire. It was like a burning sun, emitting blazing light and heat. The surging magma was in the form of a Fire Dragon Pillar, rising up from the Fire Lake one after another. It was probably because of the Flame Lord's power that it was so ferocious.
Around the wide lake of fire, there were stone walls that radiated fiery light. These stone walls were as red as soldering iron, emitting a scorching heat. The glaring red light filled the surroundings, causing this area to become a huge space of flames.
In the middle of the fire lake, a strange fire lotus blossomed mysteriously in the boiling magma of the fire lake. It flickered with a bewitching red light and swayed along with the rolling fire lake. This posture seemed to possess a soul-stirring beauty.
Han Shuo and the other two were still enveloped by the boundary. They floated at the entrance of a cave in the surrounding stone walls, no longer suffering from the damage of the magma and flames.
"Firespark Stone, Firesun Crystal, Red Agate …"
Han Shuo exclaimed in surprise. He discovered that there were a few magical stones scattered not far from the entrance of the cave. They were all treasures for refining fire-attributed weapons. These stones were of excellent quality and could be completely smelted into high-quality fire-attributed flying swords, or directly absorbed by fire-attributed practitioners to improve their skills.
"This area is very mysterious. It contains a strange fire power, and the surrounding stones are very precious. If you embed them in a magic staff, it will definitely have a great effect on a fire-attributed mage!" Grand Magus Marceau said while dripping hot sweat.
She didn't need to explain much. As a demonic cultivator, Han Shuo could recognize many strange stones based on Chu Canglan's memories. He understood that these strange stones had different uses, and each one could play a great role.
"Open the boundary, I'm going to leave and collect some!" Han Shuo was overjoyed as he spoke with a calm expression.
Marceau was stunned. She hesitated for a moment before kindly reminding him, "The temperature outside the barrier is several times higher than inside. I think that once you leave the barrier, you will be cooked by the high temperature. I advise you not to take the risk!"
"No problem, I think I can withstand it!" Han Shuo activated his magical yuan and a pulsating ball of purple flames formed in his left palm. A gust of cold air instantly blew through the forty-degree hot boundary. Sophie and Marceau, who were sweating profusely, couldn't help but shiver. The flowing sweat suddenly stopped, giving them an icy chill.
"What magic is this?" Fire grand magus Marceau couldn't help but cry out involuntarily when she saw a ball of purple flames appear in Han Shuo's palm. The high temperature within the boundary was immediately dispelled, and the extremely hot area almost turned into an ice cave.
"Hehe, it's just a strange martial technique. Don't worry, I think I can withstand the high temperature outside!" Han Shuo smiled slightly as he held the pulsating ball of purple flames and looked confidently at Marceau.
"I think you're right!" Marceau nodded and then said, "Pay attention, when I count to three, I'll send you out of the boundary. Prepare yourself."
Taking a deep breath, Han Shuo activated his magical yuan. His fingers began to move nimbly, and balls of purple flames flashed from his fingertips.
When Marceau counted to three, the boundary where Han Shuo was at seemed to have been sliced open by a knife, and the space between the two of them was directly removed.
In an instant, the high temperature hit them head-on. The scorching wave of fire broke through the boundary's obstruction and instantly enveloped Han Shuo's entire body. Without Marceau's control, the boundary that blocked the high temperature shattered like an eggshell. Not only did it lose the ability to block the heat wave, but it also lost the ability to remain in the air.
The rock where Han Shuo's foot landed was scorching red. As long as his foot landed, the sole of Han Shuo's foot would be charred black in an instant. When he activated his magical yuan to cast the Mystical Glacial Spellfire, he naturally didn't forget to cast the Art of the Demonic Ninth Heavens. Just as Han Shuo's foot was about to land on the flint, he suddenly stopped in midair and didn't move.
The yin demon that had accompanied Han Shuo in the boundary was immediately placed behind him, constantly paying attention to Marceau and Sophie's movements. Han Shuo himself didn't waste a single moment. He used the extreme cold of the Mystical Glacial Spellfire to emit thick white smoke from his body and began to carry out some secret plans.
After Han Shuo landed, Sophie and Marceau looked at Han Shuo's actions in amazement. They were obviously very surprised by Han Shuo's actions. However, when the extreme cold on Han Shuo's body met the high temperature, his body was immediately covered in thick white smoke. The two women could no longer see Han Shuo's figure clearly.
"The most mystical thing in this area should be the fire lotus in the center of the fire lake. He's gone to collect rocks to forge weapons, so let's go pluck that fire lotus!" Fire grand magus Marceau didn't seem to care about the unknown rocks in the surroundings, or perhaps it was because she didn't know what magical effects those rocks had. She only focused her attention on the fire lotus.
This fire lotus had ten or so red, translucent leaves the size of palm-leaf fans. They were as clear as jade, and there was a strange red light circulating within the veins of each leaf, as if they were nurturing a life of fire. This fire lotus was very eye-catching in the middle of the blazing fire lake, giving off a stunning beauty.
Fire grand magus Marceau and Sophie seemed to be completely attracted by the strange lotus. The two stared at the fire lotus with fascination, activating the magic boundary and slowly approaching the fire lotus together.
Within the thick white smoke, Han Shuo didn't activate his magic to collect the fire spirit stones. Instead, he quickly dug a large hole and dripped his own blood essence into it. His eyes shone with a divine light as he looked at the fire lotus from time to time. His expression was incomparably calm, as if he was rapidly thinking about what to set up.
Han Shuo had heard Marceau's description before coming down and understood that a fire lotus had been nurtured in the place of extreme fire, so he already had his own plans. No matter what, this fire lotus couldn't be obtained by Marceau and Sophie. As a treasure nurtured in the place of extreme fire, the fire lotus had the miraculous effect of directly wrapping around zombies and turning them into a fire elite zombie.
Depending on how long the place of extreme fire had been formed, as well as some special opportunities, treasures of the five elements could be nurtured. The places of extreme earth, extreme wood, and the Valley of Sunshine's extreme water that Han Shuo had discovered hadn't produced any treasures, perhaps because they'd been formed for too long, or perhaps because there hadn't been any suitable opportunities.
However, this place of extreme fire might have already existed for tens of thousands of years. After accumulating all sorts of energy over the years, in addition to the existence of the Lord of the Flames, it had actually successfully nurtured the fire lotus. As a treasure of the place of extreme fire, the fire lotus had grown for tens of thousands of years and absorbed all sorts of fire elemental energy, becoming a wondrous treasure.
With the existence of the fire lotus, Han Shuo didn't need to waste a huge amount of time to gather all sorts of materials. He could directly use a secret technique to form a large formation in the place of extreme fire, then use his blood essence to activate the formation and throw a zombie into the fire lotus. Based on the nutrients that the fire lotus had absorbed over tens of thousands of years and the dense fire elemental energy in the place of extreme fire, it would directly help an ordinary zombie evolve into a fire elite zombie.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Han Shuo absolutely wouldn't allow Marceau to take the fire lotus. After he left the boundary, he had already started to set everything up.
As Marceau controlled the boundary and slowly approached the fire lotus, Han Shuo turned into a thick cloud of white mist and shuttled through the caves around the fiery red rock walls. In the eyes of Marceau and Han Shuo, Han Shuo was taking the opportunity to collect some strange ores in the surroundings. What they didn't know was that under the cover of the thick smoke, Han Shuo had already quickly and successfully excavated the formation eye needed to refine the fire elite zombie.
Although there was the fire lotus, there weren't any other materials to refine the fire elite zombie. Han Shuo's blood essence had completely replaced the practice between the formation eyes. Fortunately, Han Shuo had swallowed a three-hundred-year-old blood essence grass and converted enough blood essence. Otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been able to successfully use the large formation this time.
After Han Shuo walked around the surrounding rock walls and successfully excavated the formation eye, he immediately chanted an incantation and summoned the Little Skull from a distant plane.
"Hurry up and bring a zombie that you approve of. He'll receive the same treatment as the earth elite zombie!" Han Shuo passed on an order. Without waiting for the Little Skull to nod in understanding, he sent the Little Skull back to a distant plane.
Then, purple flames danced between Han Shuo's hands as he activated his magical yuan. In the direction where the Little Skull had been standing, the purple flames danced in Han Shuo's hands, creating a suitable temperature for that area.
The Little Skull's body was purely made of sparkling white bones. After many times of forging and tempering, Han Shuo had sufficient confidence in the Little Skull's body's toughness. He knew that this level of high temperature wouldn't affect him at all.
However, if an ordinary zombie suddenly appeared in such a place, it would definitely be burned to a painful state by the high temperature. It was hard to say whether it would be directly burned to death. Therefore, in order to successfully refine the fire elite zombie, Han Shuo had no choice but to make preparations in advance, lest he be roasted to death by the high temperature once he fell into this space.
An urgent call came through the Little Skull from an infinitely distant plane. When Han Shuo received this call, he immediately chanted an incantation. Then, in the area of suitable temperature created by magical yuan, the Little Skull appeared in front of Han Shuo with an incomparably large zombie warrior in his hand.
Perhaps the Little Skull sensed Han Shuo's anxiousness, but he didn't have time to search in his haste and casually grabbed a zombie warrior with an unusually large head.
"Alright, it's you!" Time was of the essence. Han Shuo had already set up everything. Seeing that Marceau and the Little Skull were already close to the Fire Lotus, he didn't have time to be picky. He grabbed the big-headed zombie and rushed towards the central fire lake.
