Thanks to the speed of the Golden-winged Roc, Zhou and Lu Yaoyao quickly arrived at the area filled with fire fissures.

Looking out, the land seemed to have been chopped by a giant deity, with dozens of fissures of varying lengths crisscrossing, spewing out blue or green flames.

The heat waves distorted the air, even making the rocks appear molten.

Based on memory, Zhou's gaze immediately locked onto the central giant fissure, which was about three zhang wide.

The rocks at the edge of the fissure had long crystallized, shimmering with a strange light under the scorching of the dark blue flame.

He handed the old hen to Lu Yaoyao without hesitation: "Hide it away."

Lu Yaoyao took the old hen, clearly feeling the terrifying power contained within those seemingly calm flames.

Even separated by several zhang, the scorching aura already made her Nascent Soul tremble, as if it was about to be roasted.

"Zhou, be careful!" Holding the old hen, she retreated to a safe distance, her voice carrying undisguised worry.

Zhou nodded slightly, turned, and walked to the edge of the fissure.

Standing in front of the fire fissure, he attempted to extend his Divine Sense to investigate, only to find it sluggish in the eerie flames, able to probe no more than a hundred meters before the scorching pain became unbearable.

"Looks like I'll have to go down myself."

He took a deep breath and leaped into the sea of fire.

In an instant, the dark blue flames surged in like a tide, yet turned gentle upon touching his body.

In his sea of consciousness, the crimson petals of the four-colored flower radiated light, forming a thin veil of red glow around Zhou.

"Indeed effective!" Zhou felt a surge of joy.

Where the red glow passed, the flames capable of incinerating Divinity Transformation cultivators felt like a gentle spring breeze, leaving only a slight warmth.

He continued to dive, moving like a nimble fish in the sea of fire.

As the depth increased, the color of the flames gradually changed from dark blue to deep purple, and the temperature skyrocketed several times over.

Ordinary Divinity Transformation cultivators would probably turn to ashes in an instant here.

Such a scene made him involuntarily recall the time in the third coffin.

Second uncle was outside attracting the Flame Fire Crocodile King from the Spirit Severing Realm while he went down to help find the Golden Crow Fan, also obtaining some top-grade Fire Attribute Spirit Stones and a drop of pure Golden Crow blood in the process.

"Wherever you are, Second Senior Sister, you'll surely be safe!" While releasing his Divine Sense to explore, Zhou prayed in his heart.

Three hundred meters, five hundred meters, eight hundred meters...

The red light shield began to tremble slightly, obliging Zhou to slow down.

He took several top-grade Spirit Stones from his Storage Ring and held them in his palm.

The Spirit Stones visibly dimmed as the pure Spiritual Power continuously replenished his consumption.

Suddenly, several black shadows flashed through the sea of fire.

Zhou came to a sudden stop, only to see dozens of demon beasts resembling fire lizards leap out from the purple flames.

These creatures were entirely crimson, and streams of firelight flowed between the gaps in their scales as though they were molten lava.

What was most alarming was that each of them emitted an aura at the Divinity Transformation Early Stage!

"It turns out this relic is truly perilous!" Zhou secretly marveled in his heart.

Back then, when Second Senior Sister came here, she hadn't even reached the Divinity Transformation stage, yet she managed to rescue the White Crane who had been trapped for years.

At this moment, Zhou initially planned to ignore them since finding Second Senior Sister was his utmost priority.

Moreover, Lu and the old hen were still outside.

However, the leading Fire Lizard King's size was particularly immense, with three rows of sharp bone spikes growing on its back and a tail tip burning with dark blue cold fire.

It noticed Zhou in an instant and then opened its massive jaws to spray a blazing white column of fire directly at him.

"Seeking death!"

Suddenly, a pair of blood-colored wing illusions unfolded behind Zhou, each feather composed of blood-colored runes.

As the wings lightly flapped, thousands of blood blades shot out like a torrential downpour.

The three leading fire lizards were instantly pierced, letting out harrowing screams.

Yet the remaining fire lizards were exceptionally cunning, skillfully using their advantages to scatter and dodge.

They encircled from all directions, breathing out fire columns that interweaved into a bizarre web.

Even more troublesome was that the Fire Lizard King remained hidden at the rear, with its tail's dark blue cold fire quietly condensing, evidently preparing for a lethal strike.

Zhou sneered, his left hand forming a seal, causing a Golden Roc's image to manifest around him.

The three-legged mythical bird spread its wings and cried out, spewing forth fierce sun true fire to clash with the incoming fire columns.

Simultaneously, his right hand's Tetanus Broken Sword shone with intense lightning, a silver dragon leaping forth, aimed straight at the Fire Lizard King's throat.

The Fire Lizard King hurriedly evaded, yet was still pierced through the forepaw by purple lightning.

It roared furiously, and finally, the tail's dark blue cold fire condensed into a beam of blue light, shooting directly at Zhou.

This cold fire was unusually strange, freezing even the flames in its path.

Zhou dared not be reckless, folding his blood-colored wings into a shield.

The cold fire collided with the blood wings, emitting a metallic clash.

"So powerful a beast!"

Zhou's eyes flashed with intense battle spirit as he suddenly employed the Golden Roc's extreme speed, his form darting like lightning behind the Fire Lizard King.

Without a moment of hesitation, the Tetanus Broken Sword, carrying piercing lightning, sliced off the Fire Lizard King's head in one stroke.

With the leader dead, the remaining fire lizards immediately fell into disarray.

Zhou wouldn't miss such an opportunity; he unfolded his blood-colored wings fully, transforming them into a blood curtain that enshrouded them...

A moment later, two Blood Phoenix Tribulation Crystals, merely the size of fava beans, hovered in front of Zhou.

He waved them into his grasp and continued to dive deeper into the sea of fire.

After striking the seventh wave of fire demon beasts, Zhou finally discovered an anomaly on a jutting rock platform below.

The platform was merely a zhang square, its surface burned smooth as a mirror by the flames.
