"Alright."dusa's red lips parted slightly, and with a wave of her jade-like arm, she withdrew the seal.

Seeing this, Lin Feng pushed open the stone door and was the first to step out of the cultivation room.

Lifting his gaze, he looked toward the sky, where a massive, nearly transparent fire python writhed. A flash of burning heat flickered through his eyes.

Without hesitation, he shot straight toward the damaged hollow below, and dusa, at an unhurried pace, followed closely behind him.

They soon arrived at the very bottom of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower.

This lower level was shrouded in dimness, filled with a faint crimson hue.

The light ca from the center, where a deep hole, several dozen ters wide, lay.Crimson light radiated from within it like a pillar, piercing through the surrounding darkness and illuminating the entire area.

Lin Feng glanced around briefly, then led dusa directly toward the deep hole at the center.

The closer they got, the hotter the air around them beca.

The fire attribute energy within also grew increasingly pure—and violent.

Feeling the burning pain against his skin, Lin Feng quickly mobilized the Beast Fla inside him, releasing it outward to form a circular protective shield around his body.

With the Rank 7 Beast Fla guarding him, the searing pain finally eased sowhat.

When the two of them reached the edge of the deep hole, the heat surging toward them was so intense that Lin Feng couldn't help but inhale sharply.

At once, a stream of scalding energy rushed into his body through his breath, and after circulating briefly, it was refined by his cultivation technique into a trace of pure Dou Qi.

"As expected of the final floor of the Blazing Sky Qi Refining Tower...If one could cultivate here, the results would be at least half again better than in the cultivation Room One."

Murmuring his amazent, Lin Feng shifted his gaze into the deep hole.

All he saw was an endless sea of crimson.

Blistering air mixed with fire poison spewed out ceaselessly from within.The harshness of the environnt far surpassed anything he had imagined.

The edge of the hole was still quite a distance from the magma world below—dozens of li apart at least.Yet even across such a gap, the overwhelming heat showed no sign of weakening.

"Let's go."

Taking a deep breath of the scorching air, Lin Feng urged the Beast Fla within him to surge outward once more, doubling the strength of his protective shield.

With those words, he dove headfirst into the blood-red world of molten lava below.

—

anwhile, at the top of the tower, the Fallen Heart Fla was still relentlessly assaulting the black protective barrier.

Though it failed ti and ti again, the pillar of blood-colored magma never dispersed.

Each ti it sank only a few dozen ters, before the seething lava tides below would surge upward once more, pushing it back toward the shield.

As the battle dragged on, fewer and fewer elders above were able to hold their ground.

More and more had already collapsed onto the ground, desperately trying to heal their injuries.

Monts later, a colossal, translucent fire python slowly erged from beneath the tower's peak, revealing a massive, ferocious head that left all the students of the Inner Academy staring in stunned silence.

"W-what is that thing?!"

"We... we've been cultivating all this ti above sothing that terrifying?!"

Staring at the imnse, half-revealed, formless fire python, the students in the distance cried out in shock.

"As expected...The Fallen Heart Fla has already evolved into this form. At this point, aside from being unable to fully shapeshift, it's nearly no different from an ordinary Rank 7 magic beast."

Yao Chen's sowhat grim voice suddenly echoed within Xiao Yan's mind.

"Master, when are we going to act?"

Staring dumbfounded at the enormous fire python above, Xiao Yan swallowed hard, his voice carrying a trembling undertone.

At this mont, he finally understood why his master had insisted he absorb so Beast Flas to temper his body and gain experience beforehand.

If he had encountered this monster back when he was only a Dou Shi, he might have ended up being devoured instead.

"Wait. We not only need to wait for the Inner Academy to wear it down a bit more, but also for those from the Black-Corner Region.

Don't forget, that bastard Han Feng has also cultivated the Fla Mantra. Once the Fallen Heart Fla breaks free from the tower, he'll definitely sense it—and there's no way he won't co to fight for it!"

Yao Chen's gaze grew heavy as he glanced toward the northern region of the Black-Corner Region, speaking with evident apprehension.

"That guy... If you hadn't ntioned him, master, I would have almost forgotten," Xiao Yan said, a thread of killing intent surfacing in his voice as he snapped back to his senses, his vision previously clouded by the allure of the Heavenly Fla.

The thought that Han Feng had also obtained the Fla Mantra caused an uncontrollable surge of killing intent to well up within Xiao Yan.

That scroll of cultivation technique was the very foundation of his strength, and he absolutely could not allow anyone else to learn it.

Moreover, as the first person to cultivate the complete Fla Mantra, he understood better than anyone just how terrifyingly powerful it was!

Otherwise, he would not have abandoned training High-Grade Earth Class cultivation techniques to instead use this Fla Mantra, which currently only exhibited the power of a Mid-Grade Black Class cultivation technique.

The realization that his nesis was also cultivating this heaven-defying technique naturally made Xiao Yan eager to eliminate him as soon as possible.

If Han Feng were to find another Heavenly Fla, he and his master might very well have to bid farewell to this world.

"Jii!"

Just as Xiao Yan and Yao Chen were conversing, the Invisible Fire Python suddenly let out an extrely sharp screech.

An invisible soundwave burst forth, slamming violently against the surrounding energy barrier.

Imdiately, the barrier rippled violently, stirring up intense waves of fluctuation.

As the piercing screech gradually faded, the Invisible Fire Python's massive mouth opened wide, and in the next instant, a torrent of imnse invisible flas erupted forth!

"Retreat!"

Upon seeing the surge of wild flas, Su Qian naturally could not disregard the lives of the other Elders.

After all, Elders at the Dou Wang level could not possibly withstand an attack unleashed by a Dou Zong-level Heavenly Fla.

As his explosive shout rang out, Su Qian's palm abruptly thrust outward, a surge of powerful Dou Qi clashing against the heart fla, buying precious ti for the Elders retreating behind him.

After the dozen or so Dou Wang Elders successfully withdrew, the originally strong dark energy mbrane imdiately beca much thinner and more fragile.

Under the relentless burning of the Fallen Heart Fla, the dark energy mbrane clearly began to falter.

Under the watchful gazes of those from the Inner Academy, the mbrane grew thinner and thinner.

Seeing his plan succeed, the Invisible Fire Python let out another ear-piercing screech—

—only this ti, within the screech was an unmistakable joy that everyone could easily detect.

Imdiately after, the Fallen Heart Fla continued spewing out its terrifying invisible flas, preventing the Elders from approaching, while simultaneously launching crazed assaults on the black energy mbrane.

"Xiao Yan, get ready. If the Inner Academy has no other asures left, the Fallen Heart Fla will soon break through the seal," Yao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice carrying an edge of excitent.

"Mhm. I really wonder—after devouring the Fallen Heart Fla, will the Fla Mantra finally evolve into an Earth Class cultivation technique?"

Xiao Yan also nodded excitedly, his gaze fervently locked onto the illusory serpent head atop the tower.

His first Heavenly Fla was finally within reach.

"I think it might be difficult... but if luck's on your side, it's not impossible," Yao Chen said, looking at his disciple, who was nearly driven mad by the prospect of enhancing his technique, and offering so comfort.

"But at the very least, it will definitely be much stronger than it is now. Maybe I can even use it to break through to Dou Wang! Hehe," Xiao Yan licked his lips greedily.
