Battle Through the Heavens: Xiao Yan, I am your second master

Chapter 247 Re-entering the Lava World

It was that boundless world of lava again.

null--

A streak of light rushed over and stopped above the lava.

As the light faded, two figures appeared above the lava.

"Is this the place? It's so hot!" Zi Yan hurriedly fanned herself, but all she got was hot air.

Xiao Li smiled faintly and pointed a finger, covering Zi Yan's body with a burst of yang fire.

"Wow, it's not hot anymore! Xiao Li, you're so kind!" Zi Yan happily hugged Xiao Li's neck.

Xiao Li shook his head with a faint smile. Zi Yan's complaint about the heat was just laziness. With her cultivation level, she could easily dispel the high temperature with her own battle qi. Moreover, with Zi Yan's current eighth-level cultivation, she was already considered an adult Taixu Ancient Dragon, and she could even swim in magma.

Although the magma here is hot, given Zi Yan's physical strength, it's perfectly fine for her to take a hot bath.

"How is it, Ziyan? Can you feel it?" Xiao Li asked.

"I think I can feel something, it's down there." Zi Yan's previous vague feeling has intensified, and she can vaguely feel it down there.

"Alright, I'll take you down there. Zi Yan, unleash your full power!" Xiao Li said. Then, the Yin-Yang Sacred Flame appeared around Xiao Li and Zi Yan, directly forcing back the magma.

"Hmm!" A brilliant purple-gold light shone from Zi Yan's body, and an ancient and noble aura emanated from her!

. . . . . .

Beneath the magma world lies a mysterious space, an endless expanse of darkness and silence. This space has been silent for countless ages, and the entire space is permeated with an ancient and weathered atmosphere.

In the center of that space stood a stone gate, a stone gate tens of thousands of feet high!

The stone gate stood quietly in this vast space, as if it had existed forever. An ancient and wild aura slowly emanated from it, spreading throughout the world.

Suddenly, the space trembled violently, and a colossal creature was slowly writhing in the darkness beneath the stone gate!

It was an indescribably enormous creature, perched in the dark void. This mysterious creature was incredibly huge, and even after following its body, one could not see its end until reaching the dark space in the distance!

Click, click—

The mysterious creature seemed to have been awakened by something, and a sound like metal clashing suddenly rang out from its body. Upon closer inspection, this enormous creature was entirely purple-gold in color, with cold scales covering its body, giving it a powerful and steel-like aura.

laugh!

In that dark void, a pair of enormous eyes that had been closed for a long time suddenly opened!

These eyes are a pale red, with overlapping pupils, and they are hundreds of times larger than those of a normal person!

"child!!!!!"

. . . . . .

In magma,

Zi Yan suddenly sensed an unfamiliar voice. She hadn't heard this voice since she came out of the egg, yet it was incredibly familiar!

"Xiao Li! I think I heard something!" Zi Yan said, tugging at Xiao Li's sleeve.

Xiao Li turned his head and saw that Zi Yan's eyes were already streaming down her face.

What was that sound?

"My child, my child."

Xiao Li nodded: "Zi Yan, hold on tight to me, I'm going to speed up!"

Chirp chirp—

Just as Xiao Li was leading Zi Yan deep into the magma world, countless lizard monsters gathered around them. Dense, crimson figures surged in from all directions, eventually surrounding them completely.

"Heavenly Blaze!"

Xiao Li stopped, clasped his hands together, and then slowly opened them, revealing a small, jet-black ball condensing in his palm.

As Xiao Li's hands gradually separated, the black ball gradually grew larger.

In just a few breaths, Xiao Li held a black fireball with a diameter of a thousand feet in one hand. The fireball, like the sun, evaporated the surrounding magma.

Countless lizardmen around were drawn into the black fireball and turned into nothingness!

"presumptuous!"

Two angry shouts rang out, and in the center of the lizardmen in the distance stood two lizardmen with milky white bodies. They looked much older than the other lizardmen. Xiao Li glanced at the strength of these two lizardmen and realized that they had actually reached the level of half-saint!

"Humans, monsters, this is the graveyard of the gods, a place no one is to be found. Retreat at once, or you will awaken the guardians and be buried here forever!"

One of the two white lizardmen was actually speaking human language. Although his speech was somewhat halting, the intermittent voice still reached Xiao Li and Zi Yan's ears.

"The Tomb of the Gods? The Guardians?"

Xiao Li sneered: "What if I don't?"

"Humans and monsters, if you won't leave, then die!" The two half-saint lizardmen exuded a formidable aura.

"Zi Yan, step back a bit. These are already two loyal dogs. A fight is inevitable. Don't get caught in the crossfire. Just deal with those below the Dou Zun level."

"Okay!" Zi Yan nodded and quickly moved away from Xiao Li.

Xiao Li stretched his body. "Two half-saints? That's interesting."

"Attack!" The two semi-saint-level lizardmen spoke, and countless fire lizardmen surrounded and attacked Xiao Li.

Xiao Li grinned, his hands quickly forming a seal, and an aura of annihilation gathered on his right palm.

"Great Annihilation Seal!"

boom--

A thousand-foot-long annihilating palm struck, obliterating everything in its path!

"presumptuous!"

Two semi-saint-level lizardmen joined forces to block Xiao Li's Great Annihilation Seal!

"Blocked it? Let's see if you can block this attack! Heavenly Flame Radiant Sun!"

Just as the semi-saint-level lizardman blocked the Great Annihilation Seal, Xiao Li appeared behind the two lizardmen and unleashed a thousand-foot-long fireball!

"Ugh!"

The two semi-saint-level fire lizardmen were hit hard by this move. If they hadn't been born with an affinity for fire and extremely high resistance to fire, Xiao Li's fireball would have seriously injured them long ago.

"Pfft~ Chirp chirp chirp (Second brother, take some men to catch that monster. I can tell they have a good relationship. Catch that monster and force it to commit a crime!)"

One of the lizardmen spoke, but Xiao Li couldn't understand the language they were speaking, though he had a feeling it wasn't anything good!

"I understand."

After the two semi-saint-level lizardmen reached a consensus, they unleashed their most powerful abilities, drawing upon the surrounding magma to attack Xiao Li.

Xiao Li stood with his hands behind his back, and the Yin-Yang Sacred Flame transformed into two giant dragons that circled around him, preventing the magma from getting any closer to him!

"Now!"

A semi-saint-level lizardman immediately fled and attacked Zi Yan's direction.

"Oh no, Zi Yan!"

Xiao Li immediately gave chase, but another semi-saint-level lizardman desperately blocked his way.

"Men, self-destruct to stop him!"

At the lizardman's command, countless lizardmen at the Dou Zong and Dou Zun levels rushed close to Xiao Li and self-destructed!

Boom boom boom—

In the distance, Zi Yan was dealing with several Dou Zun-level lizardmen on the periphery; these lizardmen were no match for her fists.

"Hmm?" Zi Yan suddenly sensed a dangerous aura. She turned her head and saw that the half-saint level lizardman was rushing towards her!

Zi Yan instinctively retaliated with a punch, but was knocked away by the lizardman.

"Warcraft, die!"

The lizardman was about to grab Zi Yan when a trickle of golden blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Boom—

Suddenly! A massive, purple-gold claw, thousands of feet long, emerged from beneath the magma and struck directly at the half-saint lizardman.

puff--

That demigod-level lizardman was instantly smashed into bloody foam!

dong dong dong~

At this moment, Zi Yan's heart was pounding. She looked at the huge purple-gold claw and a sense of familiarity from her bloodline washed over her.

The large claw then came to Zi Yan, gently sheltering her inside, and then pulled her down.

"Zi Yan!!!"

Xiao Li, dressed in rags, ignored the explosions and carried the half-dead, half-saint-level lizardman to where Zi Yan was. He saw Zi Yan being held by the large, purple-gold claw.

"Hey, Big Paw, could you take those people over there with you too?" Zi Yan said, gently stroking the paw.
