Dazzling, bright yellow filled their vision, surging, burning, and rumbling! This was the sight of magma that would never change.
Boom!
Nearby, a bubble suddenly exploded. The violent force collided with the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell and cracked. Scorching heat seeped in through the cracks, and the heavy smell of sulfur was suffocating. What was even more terrifying was the scorching fire poison, whistling past and entering through every opening.
If it were not for the fact that both Li Qingshan and Ru Xin possessed innate fire bloodlines, they would have been in danger of dying from that. However, even more terrifying was the invisible underground magnetic field, which made it difficult for his innate abilities to operate normally. It took him quite a while to repair the crack on the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell.
"It's too deep here. Even I can't maintain it for too long!" Li Qingshan communicated with Ru Xin. Once the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell shattered, he could still escape, but Ru Xin would definitely die.
"Go a little further ahead. We need to approach the centre of Fire Melt mountain!" Ru Xin pointed in a direction.
"Alright!" Li Qingshan carried Ru Xin as he advanced slowly through the magma. He had to carefully avoid the unstable regions. If he accidentally caused many bubbles to explode at the same time, he would be in trouble.
"It's here!" Ru Xin said suddenly.
"We're several dozen kilometers above the ground at the very least. Can your virus be effective?" Li Qingshan doubted.
"If we go any further up, we'll approach the formations of Fire Melt mountain. Don't worry. The Myriad Poison Ancestor can pollute a river that stretches over a hundred kilometers with a wave of his hand. This is his painstaking effort as well. Water descends, while fire rises. This is equivalent to upstream. It's perfect for poisoning! "
Li Qingshan had discovered a long time ago that the flames of the earth in this region were extremely unstable, rapidly surging upwards. The fire devourers must have purposefully drawn the flames up for devouring fire for cultivation, equivalent to humans digging a well to draw water.
However, he was also rather curious. "Is the river the same as this?"
"Water and fire oppose each other, but there are also similarities. Brat, your comprehension is still lacking. Just watch obediently!"
Ru Xin said with a smile. She folded her hands together and quickly formed a hand seal. Her expression suddenly became incomparably solemn.
Li Qingshan retreated slightly. Gradually, a ghostly figure appeared on her body. It was the Plague Ghost that she had painstakingly cultivated for many years. It was a powerful secret art of the Medicine Clan. It had the miraculous power to infect the enemy with a serious illness.
The Plague Ghost was wrapped in bandages, deformed and twisted, covered in sores and pus, emitting a rotten and filthy smell. Apart from that, his body was also covered in a layer of greyish-white, giving off a deathly aura that made one's heart palpitate.
He was like a patient who had been bedridden for many years and had lost all feeling of physical and mental pain. He didn't even have the desire to live. He could only wait for death numbly.
The Plague Ghost separated itself from her and turned around to face her.
In that moment, Ru Xin hesitated. She had refined the plague ghost for many years, and it was originally for revenge against the fire devourers.
Now that she could finally take action, a dark, old face appeared before her.
Doctors were like parents. Fu Huaci's influence on her was far greater than she had imagined him to be. The word "forgive" was his greatest hope for her.
She sucked in a deep breath and murmured, "I'm sorry, master. I've disappointed you. I can't forgive anyone."
"You don't understand what your master is trying to say at all. The old man feels like you won't be able to get revenge in this lifetime, so he doesn't want you to die. If he knew the current situation, what do you think he would say?" Li Qingshan said.
"What would he say?"
"Spare his ancestors and forgive his seventh uncle for killing those fire devourers!" Li Qingshan bellowed.
"My master isn't that vulgar!" Ru Xin burst into laughter as if anything that conflicted her became extremely simple from his mouth. His decision of "in for a penny, in for a pound." was something that she really could not learn.
As a result, with a gentle push, the plague ghost flew out of the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell and suddenly burst into flames. The flames were greyish-white like rocks, merging with the flames of the earth and rising upwards.
At this moment, like the final radiance of a setting sun, she let out a scream, which was filled with bone-deep pain and despair.
Ru Xin gazed at it blankly. That was the voice that had once echoed through her heart day and night. Only by constantly cleansing and suppressing it with the Water of Oblivion could she prevent herself from falling into madness before her revenge.
Suddenly, she felt her heart empty, as if a boulder had fallen to the ground. She felt unprecedentedly light, yet there was also an indescribable emptiness.
"Oh no, let's go!"
Li Qingshan picked up Ru Xin and flapped his phoenix wings. He had only flown a short distance when an earth bubble burst loudly behind him, leading to a series of explosions.
A heavy sense of danger surged through his heart. Li Qingshan constantly divined and changed the direction of his flight, dodging the attacks of the earth bubbles at the last moment every single time. The cracks on the Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell grew denser and denser.
All the volcanoes in the four hundred kilometers of Fire Melt mountain erupted together. In particular, on the main peak, flames surged into the sky, scattering down like a rain of fire.
The fire devourers cheered and spread their arms, welcoming the rain of fire from above. They were in a frenzy. Even on Fire Melt mountain, a volcanic eruption like this was not common. It was treated as a symbol of auspiciousness and celebration, as well as a great opportunity for cultivation. The deeper underground the flames were, the purer they would be.
"Hmm? Now doesn't seem like the time to erupt! "Zhu Yan said in some confusion.
"Do you hear something?" Zhu Zai turned her head and listened carefully. She seemed to hear a scream, but it also seemed like an illusion within the rumbles of the volcanoes.
"The surges of the magma have always been unpredictable. Could this be an auspicious omen from the fire god? Let's not worry about that. Let's focus on cultivation and attack as soon as possible. Let's destroy Savage mountain first! "Zhu Fen said.
"Yes, king Fen!"
Zhu Yan and Zhu Zai also felt like they had been overthinking things. Were there supposed to be other enemies who would charge through the magma to attack them? That was basically suicidal, and unlike the Cloud Sail sect, the geographical advantage of Fire Melt mountain could not be destroyed through any means.
As a result, they settled down and continued cultivating.
A while later, the surface of a tranquil lake surrounded by mountains five hundred kilometers away suddenly began to surge.
With a great boom, a scarlet figure burst out of the surface of the lake. Flames followed closely behind, rushing into the sky and only dispersing after reaching several hundred meters. The lake immediately began to boil, turning into surging white smoke.
Li Qingshan landed heavily on the ground. The Spirit Turtle's Profound Shell had already shattered. He unfurled his phoenix wings, and Ru Xin's jade-black eyes were currently looking at him. Her face was brimming with an enchanting smile.
Seeing how she was safe and sound, Li Qingshan let out a sigh of relief. His eyes suddenly narrowed. As it turned out, her clothes were quite the impressive arcane artifact, but they had been reduced to ashes under the scorching flames of the earth. It was all thanks to the Heavenly Tome of Cloud Furnace she practised that she had refined her body to become as tough as jade, which was why her jade-white body had not been exposed under the impact of the flames of the earth.
Li Qingshan's heart skipped a beat. He lowered his head and kissed her faint, pink lips. All he heard was a moan, and the jade-like body in his arms softened.
