Ye Chenfeng leaped into the natural pond.

His entire body was instantly surrounded by an extreme burning sensation.

Fortunately, the Green Flame enveloping him came into play. Although the temperature of the Green Flame was only at the Initial Stage of the Heavenly God Realm, it belonged to the same kind as this purplish-red flame.

The repulsion between flames was relatively much smaller, so under the cover of the Green Flame, although it still felt unbearably scorching, it was at least within Ye Chenfeng’s range of endurance.

Wrapped in the Green Flame, Ye Chenfeng swam all the way to the bottom. In just a short time, he had already descended dozens of meters.

The deeper he went, the higher the temperature of the purplish-red boiling flames became.

The purplish-red flames here should also be able to be absorbed and fused by the Green Flame, but now the Green Flame had to focus on protecting Ye Chenfeng, so it had no energy to fuse and absorb the purplish-red boiling flame liquid here.

Bao Xiangtian, who also leapt in here, activated the Spiritual Qi River in his meridians after coming into contact with the purplish-red flame liquid, forming a layer of spiritual energy protection around him as he quickly pursued Ye Chenfeng.

But with every meter he descended, the temperature increased drastically, slowing Bao Xiangtian’s speed down. In this purplish-red boiling flame liquid, all aspects of him were impeded to a certain extent.

With the Green Flame’s assistance, Ye Chenfeng’s speed in this purplish-red boiling flame liquid was not much slower than Bao Xiangtian’s.

The two were in a chase.

They soon delved more than two hundred meters deep.

The surrounding temperature was madly melting the spiritual energy protection around Bao Xiangtian, making his expression completely grim as he frantically shouted, "You brat, stop right there." 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

While Ye Chenfeng, wrapped in the Green Flame, was already more than a dozen meters deeper than Bao Xiangtian, his situation was equally bleak. Although he had the Green Flame’s protection, the temperature of the purplish-red boiling flame liquid here far exceeded that of the Green Flame. Even though the repulsion between flames was small, Ye Chenfeng was struggling to withstand it, as he couldn’t even circulate a trace of spiritual energy within his body.

If Ye Chenfeng’s meridians hadn’t ruptured and his strength was still at the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm, then with his power and the Green Flame’s protection, he would not have been as affected by such temperatures.

Ye Chenfeng, enveloped in the Green Flame, had varying degrees of burns on his skin. His skin became exceedingly red, almost like a cooked shrimp. His lips were incredibly dry, even cracked, with traces of blood seeping from the cracks.

Upon hearing Bao Xiangtian’s roar, Ye Chenfeng did not intend to acknowledge him. Given his current state, confronting Bao Xiangtian head-on was not an option; he was not Bao Xiangtian’s match. He could only grit his teeth and continue descending.

Bao Xiangtian, lacking the protection of a Heaven and Earth Flame, had reached his limit in pursuit to this point. If he went any further, he might face mortal danger.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng, wrapped in the Green Flame, able to go deeper than him, Bao Xiangtian became even more intrigued by the Green Flame. He shouted angrily, "Boy, unless you hide in there for a lifetime, I’ll be waiting for you outside."

Finished speaking.

With spiritual energy protection continually melting, Bao Xiangtian swam back up, not wanting to linger any longer in the purplish-red boiling flame liquid.

Feeling Bao Xiangtian no longer in pursuit, Ye Chenfeng also halted his downward trend. The Green Flame, shielding and protecting him, could not absorb or fuse with the scorching energy here.

Ye Chenfeng realized that he could only resolve the crisis before him by restoring his meridians.

Wrapped in the Green Flame, he closed his eyes, preparing to restructure and sort out his body’s meridians.

Many of the meridians in his body were tangled and disarrayed. To untangle and reorganize them, he had to first break apart the knotted meridians before sorting them out.

This was no time for delay. With closed eyes, Ye Chenfeng shattered all of his knotted meridians.

The excruciating pain from self-shattering his meridians caused Ye Chenfeng’s eyebrows to tighten instantly.

But while sorting out his meridians, not a moment could be wasted, so Ye Chenfeng hardly paid attention to the severe pain. After shattering the knotted meridians, he restructured the meridians in his body one by one.

After sorting out all the meridians, the next step was to heal them.

Now he could use the Healing Pills from the Chaos Ring. Unfortunately, only items could be taken from the Chaos Ring here, but nothing could be stored. Otherwise, Ye Chenfeng wouldn’t be enduring this torment.

He consumed several Healing Pills from the Chaos Ring continuously. Due to the special nature of his meridians, simply taking Healing Pills wouldn’t instantly mend all ruptured meridians.

Ye Chenfeng estimated it would take about a day for his body’s meridians to fully recover under the effect of the elixirs.

A day would go by very quickly.

But for Ye Chenfeng, situated in this purplish-red boiling flame liquid, this day felt unbearably long.

Finally, a day passed.

Ye Chenfeng’s entire body’s meridians were fully restored. Sensing the recovered meridians, he gently circulated the Spiritual Qi River through them, finding the reorganized meridians to be even more resilient than before.

Since Ye Chenfeng didn’t excessively boost his spiritual energy, his presence did not extend upward.

After his strength was restored to the Initial Stage of the Divine King Realm.

Ye Chenfeng then swam upwards. He no longer needed the protection of the Green Flame, letting it remain there to absorb the Fire Attribute energy within the purplish-red flame liquid.

Bao Xiangtian, waiting impatiently by the naturally formed pool, knew this was the Flame Demon Fish’s lair, so lingering here wasn’t advisable. His eyes were fixed on the purplish-red boiling flame liquid in the pool.

Suddenly, he saw a shadow gradually emerging within it. His face showed a satisfied smile, knowing Ye Chenfeng down there couldn’t hold on any longer. He unleashed his Heavenly God Realm Peak aura to its fullest, determined not to let Ye Chenfeng escape again.

Seeing Ye Chenfeng, about to emerge from the purplish-red boiling flame liquid, Bao Xiangtian taunted coldly, "Boy, in the end, aren’t you coming up obediently? Aren’t you going to fall into my hands? Had you listened earlier, I could have given you a swift end, but you were so uncooperative! Now, I have to let you taste what pain is before sending you on your way."
