In the peaceful forest, gurgling water flowed down from the cracks between the rocks, forming a shallow stream on the lush green grass. Light refracted from the water, making it look like a small galaxy that adorned the lush mountain range. The sound of flowing water was like a silver bell in the peaceful atmosphere, melodious and melodious.
"Boom!"
However, the peaceful atmosphere did not last for long. A low and deep collision sound suddenly erupted from the dense thicket, causing an enormous black shadow to break through the thicket. It was like a cannonball as it heavily smashed onto the mountain rocks. The terrifying force actually caused the mountain to crack apart with a loud bang!
The mountain crumbled as boulders tumbled down, falling into a deep abyss on one side of the mountain. If one looked from above, one would see boiling lava bubbling at the bottom of the cliff.
"Roar!"
A furious roar rang out as a sinister Magical Beast emitting a fiendish aura pounced out from under the rubble. Its enormous tail swept out, flattening the mountain rocks in front of it as a pair of large scarlet eyes stared intently at the dust billowing in front of it.
As the sound of footsteps gradually grew clearer, a figure was slowly exposed under the clear sunlight. He was dressed in black robes, and a faint smile hung from the corners of his lips. His face was completely harmless.
Xiao Yan raised his right hand and clenched it slightly. The abundant strength in his palm caused him to involuntarily sigh. After nearly two months of hurrying and training, he had relied solely on his physical body to charge all the way here without using any Genesis Qi. However, the strength that erupted from his palm did not seem to have achieved the effect he had expected.
"This is the final battle of the journey. I'll do my best."
Xiao Yan glanced at the cliff a short distance behind him. He gently exhaled a breath of air. His eyes turned around and once again landed on the Magical Beast in front of him. He waved his hand and laughed. This fellow was the strongest person in this area. In terms of strength, it was already close to Yuan Zong. However, there was still a gap between it and Xiao Yan's current body.
"Roar! Bastard human! I'm going to tear you apart! "
These provocative words enraged the Magical Beast even more. Its scarlet eyes stared intently at Xiao Yan as its enormous feet stomped on the ground. As a giant crack spread, its figure instantly appeared in front of Xiao Yan. Its two giant claws slashed out, its sharp fingertips easily tearing through space as it slashed towards Xiao Yan's body like a sickle.
Xiao Yan merely chuckled when he saw this. His seemingly skinny body leaned back slightly as his fists violently shot out. Terrifying power smashed into the beast's claws, shattering the surrounding space. Both man and beast were forced a step back. the Magical Beast turned its body as it swept its tail forward like lightning, while Xiao Yan did not show any weakness in his kick.
Xiao Yan's face was filled with fanaticism, but the Magical Beast in front of him was in an unusually tight spot. It was clearly a human's body, but the power that erupted from it was not inferior to some of the strange creatures in the Magical Beast World.
In the blink of an eye, both parties had already exchanged over a hundred blows. This continued until a thin layer of golden light appeared on both of Xiao Yan's fists. Each time his fist smashed down, it would leave behind a hole on the body of this enormous beast. When the latter's counterattack gradually came to a stop, the enormous mountain-like body powerlessly struggled a couple of times before it fell to the ground with a bang and completely lost its life force.
"Huff …"
The smile on Xiao Yan's face grew wider when he saw the faint flowing light that had been forcefully unleashed from his fists. Unlike Dou Techniques, this layer of golden light was formed by the pure strength of his physical body. The power contained within it was even more tyrannical and overbearing. When he used it with a Dou Technique in the future, the power that he displayed would definitely be several times greater.
"After punching out with all my strength countless times, I still don't have the time to use it!"
With a satisfied smile, Xiao Yan took a deep breath and relaxed his mood. Following which, he gently pushed off the ground and his body floated to the edge of the cliff. He raised his eyes and looked up.
Under the vast sky was a boundless basin. Under the deep pit, on the vast crimson land, there were numerous twisting and turning bewitching rivers. Compared to the lush forest behind him, it was like purgatory.
… …
The Flowing Fire Plains had once witnessed the rise and fall of the Fire Banyan Tribe under the rule of the Fire Banyan Tribe. It had also been prosperous for a period of time. Now, it had become a land of death. Everything that entered one's eyes was desolate and there was no sign of life. However, one could feel a fiendish aura from a distance. The dry and hot air was faintly filled with a faint smell of blood, as though it was warning anyone who came.
"Gulp gulp …"
Standing beside a 'river', Xiao Yan waved his hand and the boiling magma surged and condensed as though it was alive. The so-called rivers that covered the plains were actually the boiling magma that flowed on the surface of the ground.
With a flip of his hand, he took out the Fire Banyan Token. At this time, the runes on the wooden token were emitting a dim light.
"Ever since I came here, the Fire Banyan Token seems to have sensed something. The Fire Banyan Tribe was once an aristocratic clan. It's no wonder that after so many years, countless people still want to go in and find out what's going on."
Xiao Yan exclaimed in surprise before he immediately leaped and swiftly rushed toward the deep regions of the plains. Although he had the Fire Banyan Token in hand, it was not easy to find the entrance to the Fire Banyan Ruins.
The exact entrance to the Fire Banyan Ruins had long been sealed under the magma. Even with Xiao Yan's current strength, wanting to find the traces left behind by the Fire Banyan Tribe on the plains was like looking for a needle in a haystack. He could only confirm that the approximate location of the ruins was in the depths of the plains. As for whether he could find it or not, it would depend on his luck.
As Xiao Yan flew deeper into the plains, the surrounding environment gradually changed. There were actually strangely shaped trees everywhere on the desolate land of lava, and what was even more strange was that most of these trees actually contained a trace of life force. In other words, these seemingly withered trees were actually alive!
They were trees that grew in the land of lava!
"There are really all kinds of strange things in this world. This tree can actually grow in such a dangerous place. Could it be that its roots are in the magma?"
Facing such a strange scene, Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh, but when he turned around, he suddenly heard a living person's voice.
"This friend's guess is correct. The tree's roots are indeed hidden deep under the magma."
Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked towards the source of the voice. In the distant sky, two figures were flying towards him. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived. Xiao Yan's expression was calm as he looked at the two figures, Genesis Qi quietly circulating in his body.
"Sir, there is no need to be nervous. I am Tang Ye, and I have only met this person by chance. In order to avoid any trouble along the way, we hope that sir can travel with us."
One of the two, a man in a round neck robe, cupped his fists together towards Xiao Yan and smiled.
Xiao Yan's eyes swiftly observed the two people in front of him while the former was speaking. From the aura that was emitted from the bodies of these two people, their strength was that of a four star Source Zong. However, based on Xiao Yan's observation, the strength of the gray-robed man on the left was clearly being deliberately hidden. His true strength had likely already reached that of a five star Source Zong. Such a cultivation was already extraordinary within the Source Zong class.
As for the other man in white, his aura was concealed extremely well, making it impossible to see through him. However, with his outstanding Spirit power, Xiao Yan could faintly sense a hazy aura lingering around the man's body that made it impossible for others to see through him. This point alone was enough to make anyone treat him with caution.
"Apologies, but there's no need. I'm used to traveling alone, so please help yourselves."
Xiao Yan cupped his fists together and retreated slightly. If there was really trouble, traveling with these unrelated people was the true danger. Moreover, the man in white's aura was a little strange, so it was best to stay away.
When he saw that Xiao Yan was about to turn around and leave, Tang Ye's expression changed imperceptibly.
Then, he said, "Little brother, it looks like this is your first time in the Flowing Fire Plains. You probably don't know this, but this withered forest isn't that easy to pass through. These fire banyan trees take root under the lava and absorb its energy to survive. Once an outsider tries to pass through, the lava will immediately burst forth to obstruct them. When that happens, the lava will surge like a tide, and even a Genesis Ancestor will have no choice but to retreat. Besides …"
Tang Ye's playful smile came to an abrupt end as he finished speaking. He then crossed his arms and smiled at Xiao Yan.
"In short, this isn't a place that little brother can pass through alone. If you don't believe me, you can give it a try."
Xiao Yan couldn't help but hesitate slightly when he heard this. He looked at the calm sky and land in front of him, then turned around to look at the two people beside him.
He pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "In that case, I'll have to trouble the two of you."
