Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 72 Flame Lizardman, Heavenly Fire Venerable!

As they descended deeper, the Fallen Heart Flame, which Gu Fei had originally taken away, began to tremble, and the flames burned even more fiercely.

It seemed eager to explore the depths of the magma below, as if it were going to meet someone.

"It seems the Fallen Heart Flame sensed the aura of the Heavenly Fire Venerable below!"

Gu Fei raised an eyebrow.

That's perfect, since the magma affects a person's perception of their surroundings, making it easier to use the Fallen Heart Flame to connect with its former owner.

Next, following the sensations of the Fallen Heart Flame, Gu Fei continuously adjusted his direction and gradually descended into the depths of the magma sea. In the distance, a strange white halo appeared.

"call out……"

Suddenly, a gust of scorching wind came rushing in.

At this critical moment, Gu Fei also demonstrated a rather terrifying reaction ability.

A faint blue light flashed beneath his feet, and his body twisted into a strange arc.

Easily dodging the attack, Gu Fei's body trembled, and he retreated rapidly.

As he retreated rapidly, Gu Fei turned around and looked toward the source of the strong wind.

Under Gu Fei's gaze, about thirty meters away, a red figure was swimming in the lava.

Its entire body was crimson, the same color as the surrounding lava, and it would be difficult to spot without careful observation.

Moreover, its crimson body was covered with red scales.

The red tail, about half a zhang long, swayed slightly, and the red shadow stood upright on its feet.

However, its feet were unusually large, and its head was round and covered with tiny scales. Its small eyes revealed a hint of ferocity.

The monster's mouth was slightly open, revealing a dense array of sharp teeth. Its overall appearance resembled that of a lizard capable of walking upright.

"This is probably the fire lizardman described in the original work!"

As a time traveler, Gu Fei was naturally not too surprised by this strange creature.

"Chirp chirp!"

Just as Gu Fei's gaze was fixed on the magma creature, the latter was also staring fiercely at him.

After a brief standoff, the magma creature's eyes suddenly blazed with ferocity, and it let out a piercing scream.

With a flick of its tail, its sharp claws sliced ​​through a large patch of lava, and it charged straight toward Gu Fei.

The fire lizardman was weak. Gu Fei flicked his sleeve and shot out a burst of fighting spirit, sending the fire lizardman flying backward.

Gu Fei drew in his palm, and a crimson bead appeared in his hand.

A crimson bead shimmered with a faint, intense light, containing a powerful and violent fire-attribute energy within.

Curious, Gu Fei picked up the crimson bead, but after glancing at it, he casually tossed it into his storage ring.

This thing is only inside the body of a lizard with the strength of a Douhuang, so it's really useless to him.

Just as he was about to turn his gaze back to the transparent halo, Gu Fei's eyes flashed, and he turned his gaze to the west of the crimson magma.

Suddenly, a violent commotion arose from the lava there. Moments later, a large group of red figures, like a school of fish, swarmed towards the lava.

"These guys are gathering pretty fast..."

Gu Fei frowned; he didn't want to prolong the fight.

Among this densely packed group of fire lizardmen, there are already several with the strength of a Dou Zong.

Gu Fei knew that among the Flame Lizardmen, there were beings who surpassed the Dou Zong level.

Furthermore, in the deepest part, there are even two lizardmen who have reached the level of demigods guarding the area.

If those two are alerted, he might be in danger.

"Get out of the way!"

With Gu Fei's speed, he could easily shake off these lizardmen. From within the lava, cries of agony echoed continuously. After defeating some of the fire lizardmen blocking his way, Gu Fei gradually approached the white circle of light.

With a flash, Gu Fei blasted away a lizardman standing in front of the light circle with his last palm strike, and then rushed into the white light circle.

As Gu Fei entered, the surrounding magma began to writhe again, then slowly rotated, and mysteriously vanished before the eyes of the many lizardmen...

Not long after Gu Fei entered the light barrier, several blood-red figures shot over like lightning and finally appeared in this lava area. Upon seeing these figures, the surrounding fire lizardmen hurriedly knelt down.

This race seemed to be unskilled in spatial manipulation. As a result, these fire lizardmen, each with the strength of a Dou Zun, were unable to detect what was happening inside the white light circle. They let out angry roars, but were completely helpless.

After roaring angrily a few times, the blood-red figures had no choice but to give up. They glared fiercely at the light barrier before slowly leaving with their entourage of lizardmen.

As they left, the area became quiet again.

……

After Gu Fei appeared within the white halo, a corpse came into view.

On the corpse, an invisible flame was burning quietly. This Fallen Heart Flame was very small, and the temperature it emitted was far less than that of the Fallen Heart Flame inside Gu Fei's body.

At the same time, Gu Fei sensed a probe of soul power.

"Come out!"

Gu Fei spoke to the corpse.

As Gu Fei finished speaking, a dazzling white light suddenly burst forth from within the skeleton. The white light slowly writhed and eventually transformed into a phantom image of an old man.

The figure was dressed in a white robe, with snow-white hair and beard, an aged face, and a faint glint of intelligence in his calm eyes.

[The Heavenly Fire Venerable experiences surprise and panic, increasing his emotion value by 60.]

"I never expected that you would reach the peak of the Dou Zong realm at such a young age, and that your soul power would be so formidable...?"

The old man glanced at Gu Fei, a look of amazement in his eyes.

Geniuses like Gu Fei were rare even in his time.

"You're not the only one who praises me!"

Gu Fei said calmly, "I've heard these words far too many times."

Seeing this, the white-robed elder smiled, a smile that exuded an arrogance from the depths of his being, and said, "I am Yaotianhuo, and others sometimes call me Venerable Tianhuo..."

The Venerable One... this means one thing: his achievements back then reached the Dou Zun realm.

Upon hearing this, Gu Fei naturally didn't react much, and said directly, "Judging from the abnormal reaction of the Fallen Heart Flame just now, you must be the previous owner of this Fallen Heart Flame, right?"

"You guessed right, I am indeed the former master of the Fallen Heart Flame."

Venerable Heavenly Fire smiled and said.

His gaze lingered nostalgically on the nascent Fallen Heart Flame as he slowly said, "Back then, I found this lava sea and discovered traces of the Fallen Heart Flame for the first time. It took me several years to finally subdue it. And the Fallen Heart Flame I subdued is the one now within your body..."

When Gu Fei heard Venerable Tianhuo suddenly talking about the past, he did not interrupt.
