The data of the Divine Infant’s body all tend toward perfection; it’s practically a "Divine’s container" crafted by heaven.
Because of this infant, he was adopted by Gu Xiaoman a long ti ago and cared for as if he were family... so everyone who saw him instinctively treated him as a normal "living person."
At this mont, the words of Shen Li awakened Gu Shen.
Could it be possible that the Divine Infant might not be him, but it?
This is just an empty shell, a container.
...
...
Inside the Tanyao Volcano.
"Crackle!"
Amid the rolling hot wind, a crimson figure fell inside the volcano, stepping on the hard, scorching, solidified lava, splattering a shower of dazzling blood-red sparks—
The "Li Fire" domain spread by the Vermilion Bird Divine Envoy now remained just as a very thin layer, tightly covering his whole body.
Usually, his domain could extend a hundred ters!
After comprehending two layers of the domain, it could be doubled again!
Yet now, even with all his strength, he could only envelop himself in a thin layer.
On the one hand, it was due to injuries.
On the other hand, there was simply too much "ash" inside the Tanyao Volcano.
The long-burning environnt seed like a bronze furnace; from the outside, it appeared Tanyao "kept the Silent Annihilation" for over a century, yet the inner mountain ash had never truly been extinguished.
So fires only need a little wind to rekindle.
"Could I be mistaken... is the Red Dragon not here?"
The Vermilion Bird frowned, having completely given up using spiritual power to find his way.
As for "naked eyes," they were even less to be relied upon.
The sheer amount of volcanic ash inside Tanyao was overwhelming.
His sole reliance was his innate "ntal intuition," in the scorching hot environnt inside Tanyao, the Vermilion Bird looked around... but could actually see very little:
The ground was layered with tens of thousands of strata of swirling ash.
And the repeatedly extinguished and reignited inner volcanic walls.
This cursed place really resembled a bronze furnace, with tongues of fla likely to leap out from anywhere.
Every second spent here was a trendous drain on the Li Fire domain!
Fortunately, the Vermilion Bird did not leave empty-handed.
He faintly sensed a gentle sound...
"Thump."
"Thump."
That sound was very faint, like drumming, more like a heartbeat, a floating pulse, the only clear direction in the chaotic and noisy volcano.
Here, there was a living being.
The Vermilion Bird took a deep breath, tightly clutching the "Li Fire Card," advancing towards the direction of the sound.
The sound was the faintest possible, now you hear it, now you don’t.
Once you lose focus, it imdiately vanishes...
The Vermilion Bird walked quickly; he didn’t know how long he had traveled. Suddenly, he felt the path ahead unprecedentedly long, but looking back, the retreat was engulfed by flas.
For a mont, he felt the inside of Tanyao was indeed an unfathomable "Disaster Realm," easy to enter, hard to exit.
Until he turned back again.
The ash-laden path had reached its end...
He stared in bewildernt at the scene before him.
"Thump..."
"Thump..."
"Thump..."
The Vermilion Bird had reached the end but didn’t see the Red Dragon he sought.
On the inner volcanic stone wall of Tanyao, there truly was a heart embedded, a crimson heart entwined with blood-colored flas, blooming like a transient flower, sinisterly scarlet.
The powerful and resounding drumbeats echoed all around.
Volcanic ash soared, embers reignited.
