Chapter 913 - 294: The Presence Beneath the Magma Lake (Part 2)

"The Little Demon hasn’t said otherwise."

"Master, please step back a bit, I’ll give it a try."

The Fire Phoenix spoke and immediately opened its mouth to swallow a massive molten magma sphere that had gathered inexplicably. After a brief breath adjustment, it swung its wings and unleashed several scarlet-golden streaks of Spiritual Power!

Several strands of Spiritual Power formed a thick golden chain in the void, which directly wrapped around the mysterious object floating unpredictably in the magma below.

Chirp!

Seeing the chain successfully ensnare the object, the Fire Phoenix let out a joyful cry and immediately summoned all its strength to pull the object out.

No matter how its gigantic wings flapped, the golden chain creaked and strained but never budged the object at all!

"Master, this thing is really heavy, can you lend a hand?"

The Fire Phoenix pleaded for assistance while struggling to flap its wings.

Shen Wen’an noticed her exertion, and after a moment of reflection, prepared to offer his aid.

The Purple Mansion Dao Palace within him began to operate, his Spiritual Qi behind surged and transformed drastically in the blink of an eye, forming a nearly hundred-foot tall phantom figure, entirely golden, with a sword wheel composed of twenty-four golden longswords on its back!

The phantom figure’s eyes were tightly shut, absorbing vast amounts of gold attribute Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power, causing its form to gradually solidify.

When the phantom finally transformed into a hundred-foot golden giant, Shen Wen’an’s real body slowly closed his eyes.

In the next moment, the golden giant’s eyes abruptly opened!

Two scarlet-golden Sword Auras shot out from its eyes, directly towards the terrifying magma lake below.

Boom!

As the two Sword Auras exploded in the molten magma below, the hands of the hundred-foot golden giant had already grasped the thick chain summoned by the Fire Phoenix.

Heave!

The golden giant let out a loud shout, its arms exerting immense force!

The mysterious object floating unpredictably in the magma was finally pulled out!

Without the suction of the magma, with the help of the golden giant summoned by Shen Wen’an, the Fire Phoenix vigorously flapped its wings, gradually lifting the object out of the deep pit.

"What is this..."

Seeing the object almost completely pulled out, the Fire Phoenix above couldn’t suppress its curiosity, looked down, and was instantly shocked.

Its wing motion slowed, and the massive body was suddenly dragged downwards by the object into the depths of the magma pit!

Clang!

The golden giant controlled by Shen Wen’an reacted swiftly, grabbing the thick chain!

"Don’t get distracted!"

With a shout, the Fire Phoenix, realizing its mistake, vigorously flapped its wings, finally pulling the object onto the shore!

In an instant, an extremely terrifying scorching aura scattered rapidly!

Years ago, when Shen Chongming constructed Flame Lake City, he considered the high temperatures of the magma lake. He specifically arranged for various high-temperature-resistant Spirit Ore stones to be set aside, and later, when Jiang Xiuqi arranged arrays for Flame Lake City, he set up several protective arrays specifically for the magma lake.

Yet, when the Fire Phoenix dropped the object on the ground, the terrifying high temperatures instantly melted the stones and arrays.

As the ground stones and rocks below were rapidly melted, the object quickly sank down.

"Ah!"

The Fire Phoenix exclaimed in surprise, flapping its wings and flying into the void again, lifting the object back up.

"Master, this thing is too terrifying, there’s simply no way to set it down."

Listening to the Fire Phoenix, Shen Wen’an did not respond but rather activated his Sword Element Shield, closely approaching the mysterious object resembling a terrifying biological head.

Looking at it from a distance, the object resembles the head of a certain bird-like creature, its surface covered in flame-like down, measuring two hundred feet long, over a hundred feet wide, and nearly a hundred feet tall.

One end bears a portion of a dark gold bird beak, seemingly shattered by brute force, extending dozens of feet.

The other end resembles a smooth neck cut, upon closer inspection, one can even see veins, muscle, and bone within the neck.

Through careful observation, Shen Wen’an’s mind envisioned the moment this creature was slain.

A bird with such a colossal head confronted a fearsome foe. Eventually, its hard dark gold bird beak was shattered, and its head was severed by a single sword.

This head fell at the location of today’s Flame Lake City, its terrifying fire scorching the land, creating a magma lake.

And that head was buried by the terrifying magma...

"Master, stop staring and think of a solution!"

"The Little Demon can’t hold on much longer!"

From above, the voice of the Fire Phoenix echoed.

Clearly, relying solely on flight to suspend this gigantic head caused great strain.

But there was no way to place it down.

Once it touched the ground, rocks and soil would instantly melt, forming a new magma lake.

"Third Uncle!"

Just as Shen Wen’an was fretting over how to handle this terrifying head, He Zhongyi arrived as close as possible while maintaining his Spiritual Power Shield, calling out loudly from the void outside Flame Lake City.

Seeing this, Shen Wen’an’s figure flashed, arriving in front of him.

"Third Uncle, try placing that thing on Frost Moon Mountain."

Frost Moon Mountain?

Shen Wen’an turned to look at the solitary mountain peak dozens of miles away from Flame Lake City, his brow furrowing slightly.

He Zhongyi explained: "Years ago, when Zhongyi and Elder Mu came to the Western Wilderness, before discovering Flame Lake City’s magma lake, they encountered a stream of Frost Moon Spiritual Qi on Frost Moon Mountain."

"Upon discovering that Frost Moon Spiritual Qi, there was also a peculiar drop of ancient blood on the mountain peak, which, despite many years passing, still emits an extremely strong chill..."
