Below the Warsky Martial God's tomb.
It was a sea of boiling magma. Flames surged, and an endless sea of fire enveloped everything. The temperature was terrifying. Even a mid-stage Soul Formation cultivator could not withstand the temperature for a long time.
Ye Chen stood quietly on the magma. The boiling magma seemed to have no effect on him as it flowed quietly under his feet.
"Brat, it's down there!"
The toad lay on his shoulder and seemed to be looking at the depths of the magma excitedly as if there was something there that attracted it.
Ye Chen was not in a hurry to go down. Instead, he said with a faint smile, "I can help you with this, but you have to owe me a favor."
"Forget one favor, even ten won't be a problem."
The toad spat out a mouthful of divine fire and said nonchalantly, "Moreover, you can do whatever you want in the Yin Ruins in the future. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to touch you. I'm a divine beast. When I grow up, the Three Realms and Six Dao Paths will protect you."
Ye Chen could not help but smile lightly when he heard that. He then took a step forward without hesitation and sank into the magma river.
This toad claimed to be a divine beast. Although it was a bit boastful, its background was indeed extraordinary. It was worth interacting with.
The deeper he went, the hotter the temperature became. Even Ye Chen could feel the heat, "What a high temperature. I'm afraid there's fire essence here …"
On the other hand, the toad was like a fish in water. It swam around in the magma without any abnormalities.
"What's that?"
Suddenly, Ye Chen stopped in his tracks and lifted his eyes to look into the distance.
In the sea of fire, there were countless chains locking a stone box. The stone box was only the size of an adult's fist, but an extremely terrifying temperature was coming from it.
The strangest thing was that from time to time, there would be golden flaming words coming out of the stone box and spreading out along the chains.
"Is this the Sun Essence Fire?"
Ye Chen squinted and said to the toad, "Is what you want in the stone box?!"
"Of course!"
The toad suppressed its excitement and stared at the stone box. It wanted to get closer, but it said with some fear, "My intuition tells me that the thing in the stone box is delicious."
"Delicious?" Ye Chen's expression froze.
Did he accompany it down to look for food?
"Kid, hurry up and go!"
The toad urged, "But you have to be careful. Those chains are unusual and very likely to attack you."
"Really?"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed. He took a step out immediately and walked toward the stone box that was wrapped in chains.
"Swish …"
At that moment, one of the chains seemed to have a life of its own. It suddenly moved and charged at Ye Chen like a fire dragon. It was covered in Sun Essence Fire.
Even a wisp of the Sun Essence Fire was enough to burn a Soul Formation cultivator into ashes.
"Break!"
Ye Chen's expression remained the same. He used his finger as a saber and slashed at the former calmly. However, his attack could not cause any damage to the chain at all.
Boom!
The chain wrapped in the essence sun fire heavily struck on his body, making him take a few steps back before he managed to stop himself.
At a closer look, the so-called chain was clearly an ancient vine that was wrapped in the essence fire of the sun. Its branches were like dragons, and its leaves were pure gold, incomparably dazzling!
"So it's a Meteorite Vine?!"
Surprise flashed through Ye Chen's eyes before he came to a realization, "The Meteorite Vine is born from the Sun Essence Fire and is refined by the Sun Essence Fire. It's known as a treasure used to refine spirit weapons!"
"Why are there Meteorite Vines here and why are they locking the stone box?"
Ye Chen frowned slightly. He could not help but smile a moment later, "I know. What's in the stone box must be the Sun Essence Fire. Only it can produce the Sun Essence Fire and make the Meteorite Vines scramble for it."
"I didn't come here for nothing!"
Ye Chen smiled as he thought to this point. He ignored the Meteorite Vines and strode toward the stone box in the Sun Essence Fire.
As soon as he moved, many Meteorite Vines charged at him.
At that moment, two balls of golden flames suddenly bloomed in Ye Chen's pupils. Subsequently, two pillars of light that looked like divine fire pillars shot out.
"Crack crack crack … …"
As soon as one of the Meteorite Vines was hit by the divine fire pillar, it was as if it had jumped into a pot of boiling oil. It let out a crisp crackling sound and quickly shrank back.
That was the weakness of the Meteorite Vines. Although they were born from the Sun Essence Fire, they were afraid of fire. Moreover, it was a heavenly fire that was higher than the Sun Essence Fire.
"What a powerful divinity!"
The toad's pupils could not help but constrict when it saw that, "Didn't this brat come from the desolate Earth outside the Yin Ruins? How does he have such a powerful divinity?"
It looked at Ye Chen from afar as its eyes flickered non-stop, "Could it be that what Boss said before is true? Great Emperor Xuanyuan has a divine treasure in the outside world?"
…
As Ye Chen approached, the Meteorite Vines that wanted to attack him retreated. Eventually, Ye Chen approached the stone box safely.
"The stone box is made of Tusita Soil?"
Ye Chen's gaze landed on the stone box. He looked at the faint runes on it, "It seems like the Sun Essence Fire was specially sealed here."
The so-called Tusita Soil was a special material that could repel fire. However, such a material was extremely rare. Ye Chen did not expect to encounter it here.
"That's true. If I let the Sun Essence Fire flow freely, I'm afraid everything within a thousand kilometers will be burned to ashes …"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed. Eventually, he wiped away the runes on it and opened the stone box gently. A dazzling golden gleam that looked like a small sun shot out.
"Trying to run?"
Ye Chen extended his hand and grabbed it at a steady pace. A stone that looked like obsidian appeared in his hand immediately. However, there was an extremely dazzling golden flame dancing in the center of the stone.
Whoosh!
At this moment, the toad came over and said while drooling, "It's the Sun Essence Fire. I can have a full meal now.
"You want to eat the Sun Essence Fire?" Ye Chen's expression was a little strange.
Ordinary people would avoid such a terrifying thing, but the toad wanted to eat it?
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I ask you to come down?"
The toad wiped its saliva and snatched the Sun Essence Fire without saying anything. Then, it stuffed it into its mouth and started chewing.
Ye Chen watched it quietly throughout the process. He saw that it did not seem to be afraid of the Sun Essence Fire at all. In the end, it chewed it into pieces and swallowed it.
The only change was that there were many natural patterns that looked like Dao patterns on the toad's back that seemed to be made of gold. It looked mysterious and unpredictable.
After confirming that it was fine, Ye Chen was even more curious about the toad's origin. "A toad that can swallow the Sun Essence Fire is definitely not an ordinary creature …"
