In the end times, many children bring more blessings. I pick up a goddess every day.

The moment I stepped onto the 83rd floor... a scorching wave of air hit me like a physical object...

It's even more oppressive than the bone-rotting miasma in the Ten Thousand Demons Secret Realm...

As soon as Liu Yang's space shield came into contact with the air wave... violent ripples appeared... and even a subtle burning sound could be heard from the surface of the shield... as if it would melt away in the next second...

The smell of burning and sulfur lingered at the tip of my nose... My throat burned with every breath... Even breathing became difficult...

What lay before him was no longer the desolate scene of a blood-red forest... but a boundless sea of ​​purgatory fire—the ground was crimson magma... within the magma, huge bubbles of fire were constantly surging...

When the fire bubble burst, sparks flew several feet high... landing on the surrounding black rocks... instantly baking them red... the distant sky was dyed orange by the flames... countless pillars of fire erupted from the magma... like giant burning trees... the tops of the pillars were wrapped in pale golden flames... the flames seemed soft...

Yet, it exudes a terrifying aura capable of incinerating souls... Even more terrifying... a black stone bridge hovers suspended in the center of the sea of ​​fire... Beneath the bridge is a swirling vortex of magma... From time to time, a low roar can be heard from the vortex... Clearly, a powerful being lurks within...

"This is the Infernal Sea of ​​Fire..." Liu Yang clenched his grip on the Ice and Fire Blades... and with all his might, he channeled his spiritual power... He had barely probed five miles... when he felt a terrifying aura far greater than that of the Demon King locking onto him...

That aura carried the pressure of a semi-immortal... like a mountain pressing down on his heart... causing the flow of his spiritual energy to become sluggish...

The source of this aura... was a massive figure at the end of the stone bridge in the center of the sea of ​​fire—its entire body condensed from flames... It resembled a human... but possessed three heads and six arms... each arm grasped a blazing flaming blade... its head devoid of facial features... only three burning fire patterns... It was the "Lord of the Sea of ​​Fire" Su Qingyao had mentioned...

"Trespassers...die!"

A cold voice rang out from the Fire Lord's mouth... Before he finished speaking... the stone bridge in the center of the sea of ​​fire suddenly shook...

Three crimson figures leaped out of the lava...landed at three key locations on the stone bridge...forming a triangle formation...completely blocking the path to the Fire Lord...

These figures were condensed from magma... their bodies covered in pale golden fire patterns... They held flaming spears... They were none other than the Fire Sea Lord's subordinates, the "Fire Pattern Guardians"...

As soon as they appeared... a pale golden flame filled their surroundings... Wherever the flames passed... the air was burned and distorted... even the space shield glowed a faint red...

"Soul-burning fire!" Liu Yang's heart trembled... He had seen records of this fire in ancient books... It was a fusion of semi-immortal-level fire spiritual power and soul power... It could not only burn the body... but also directly burn the soul... Even a cultivator at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Stage... once touched by the flames... the soul would be instantly burned to ash...

He immediately pushed the icy chill within the Ice Fire Spirit Crystal to its peak... The snow-white chill surrounded the outer space shield... forming an icy blue barrier... attempting to resist the intense heat of the Burning Soul Fire...

But as soon as the ice-blue barrier came into contact with the soul-burning fire... it began to sizzle... and the cold air melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye... The first fire-marked guard seized the opportunity... raised his flaming spear... and hurled it at Liu Yang...

The spear, carrying soul-burning fire... shot towards Liu Yang like a meteor... Wherever it passed... a long gash was opened in the magma... flames splashed...

Liu Yang's eyes were sharp... Using the Dream Core's dream laws... he easily captured the spear's trajectory...

He dodged the spear's attack by leaning sideways... simultaneously channeling the energy of the Space Orb into his feet... his figure transformed into a stream of transparent light... charging towards the Fire Emblem Guardian on his left... the ice blade in his right hand carried a chilling aura that froze everything...

He slashed towards the Fire Guard's head... but as soon as the ice blade touched the Fire Guard's body... it was melted by the Soul Burning Fire... The Fire Guard threw a punch... carrying the scorching heat of magma... towards Liu Yang's chest...

With a "bang"... Liu Yang was hit by the Fire Guardian's fist... The space shield was instantly dented... He felt a sharp pain in his chest... The spiritual energy in his body almost collapsed... He was sent flying backwards by the impact...

At the same time, he infused the energy of the Hellfire Crystal into the Fire Blade in his left hand... The crimson flames collided with the Soul-Burning Fire... forming a massive wave of fire... temporarily forcing back the Fire Emblem Guards...

"We can't just fight head-on!" Liu Yang quickly pondered a countermeasure... He discovered that while the fire patterns on the Fire Guardian's body could enhance the power of the Soul Burning Fire... there were subtle flaws at the junctions of the fire patterns - the density of the magma there was lower... this was the Fire Guardian's weakness...

He took a deep breath... and injected the Nether Pearl's nether energy into the ice and fire blades... The black nether energy intertwined with the crimson flames and the snow-white cold air... forming a three-colored energy blade...

He activated the space jump again... His figure appeared behind the Fire Emblem Guardian on the left... The three-colored energy blade slashed at the Fire Emblem Guardian's fire emblem connection...

With a "puff" sound... the energy blade easily cut through the Fire Guardian's body... magma gushed out from the wound... The soul-burning fire on the Fire Guardian's body instantly dimmed...

It let out a shrill roar... its body rapidly solidified under the erosion of the Netherworld's power... eventually transforming into a black rock... falling into the magma... and being instantly swallowed...

But the remaining two Fire Guards suddenly launched a joint attack—they plunged their spears into the lava... Two huge walls of fire rose from the lava... and closed in on Liu Yang...

The surface of the fire wall was covered with pale golden flame patterns... evidently containing a rich soul-burning fire... Liu Yang was trapped in the middle of the fire wall... The cracks on the surface of the space shield grew larger and larger under the fire wall's burning... A subtle tingling sensation even reached the depths of his soul... Clearly, the soul-burning fire had begun to penetrate...

"We must break through the wall of fire!" Liu Yang injected the dream energy of the Dream Core into the space bead... A pale blue halo shone on the surface of the transparent space shield... temporarily resisting the erosion of the soul-burning fire...

He simultaneously fused the energy of the Ice and Fire Spirit Crystal and the Netherworld Pearl... forming a ray of energy interwoven with black, red, and white... and aimed it at the junction of the fire wall—the weakest point...

With a "boom" sound... the energy cannon hit the fire wall... the fire pattern on the fire wall was instantly shattered...

A gap appeared in front of Liu Yang... He launched a space jump without hesitation... He passed through the gap... and appeared in front of the Fire Emblem Guard on the right...

Without waiting for the Fire Guardian to react... he raised his ice and fire blades... and slashed at the Fire Guardian's head... Netherworld power flowed through the blades into the Fire Guardian's body... rapidly devouring its magma body...

The Fire Emblem Guard on the right let out a scream... His body turned into magma and dissipated in the sea of ​​fire...

The last Fire Guard saw his companions being killed one after another... The flames in his eyes became even more violent... He threw his spear into the air... The spear turned into a huge fire snake... and pounced towards Liu Yang...

The fire snake was wrapped in pale golden soul-burning fire... Wherever it passed... the magma was burned into steam...

Liu Yang's eyes focused... He injected the demonic power of the Ten Thousand Demons Pearl into his body... The demonic power merged with the power of space and the power of the underworld... forming a black space barrier... The fire snake crashed into the barrier...

There was a deafening roar... The soul-burning fire collided violently with the space barrier... The resulting shockwave lifted the surrounding magma high...

Taking advantage of the moment the fire snake was blocked... Liu Yang flashed... transformed into a streak of light and circled behind the fire snake... The ice and fire blades simultaneously pierced the fire snake's seven-inch point - that was the fire snake's energy core...

With a "puff" sound... the fire snake's energy core was shattered... its body turned into sparks... and dissipated in the sea of ​​fire...

The last Fire Emblem Guard lost the support of its spear... The fire emblems on its body quickly dimmed... Liu Yang took the opportunity to rush forward... A blast of energy blade cut it in half... Completely eliminating the Fire Emblem Guard's threat...

Liu Yang put away his ice and fire blades... and just as he was about to take a breath... the stone bridge in the middle of the sea of ​​fire suddenly shook violently...

The Fire Lord slowly stood up... His figure with three heads and six arms looked particularly terrifying in the flames...

The flaming blades on its six arms ignited simultaneously... A pale golden soul-burning fire shot up into the sky... raising the temperature of the entire 83rd floor several times again...

"You killed my guards... Now... it's your turn!" The head in the middle of the Fire Sea Lord spoke... His voice carried the pressure of a semi-immortal... making Liu Yang's soul tremble...

It suddenly raised one arm... and the flaming blade in its hand slashed towards Liu Yang... A huge flaming blade flew out from it... and shot towards Liu Yang like a crescent moon... The surface of the flaming blade was wrapped in pale golden soul-burning fire... Wherever it passed... the space was burned and distorted...

Liu Yang didn't dare to be careless... He immediately activated the space jump... His figure disappeared in an instant...

The flaming blade struck the spot where he had been standing... a massive gash was ripped open in the lava... a pillar of fire several feet high erupted from the gash... the soul-burning fire at the top of the pillar nearly ignited the stone bridge...

Liu Yang appeared at the other end of the stone bridge... Just as he was about to gather energy and launch an attack... the Fire Lord suddenly raised all six of his arms simultaneously... Six flaming blades converged in the air to form a massive vortex of flames... The vortex contained the power to incinerate everything...

"Burning Heaven's Fury!" The Fire Sea Lord's voice boomed like thunder... A vortex of flames rapidly approached Liu Yang... The magma surrounding the vortex was sucked in... Even the air was violently whipped into a frenzy by the vortex...

Liu Yang could sense the terrifying energy contained within the vortex... Even the space shield and the three-color barrier...could not withstand it...

He quickly thought of a countermeasure... and suddenly remembered the ability of the Ten Thousand Demons Pearl - the Ten Thousand Demons Pearl can absorb demonic energy and transform it into its own spiritual energy... perhaps it can also absorb fire spiritual energy...

He immediately took out the Myriad Demons Pearl... A dark red glow emanated from the black pearl's surface... and it released a suction force towards the vortex of flames...

A miracle happened—part of the fire energy in the flame vortex was absorbed by the Myriad Demons Pearl... The vortex's speed slowed significantly... and its power also weakened...

"You can actually absorb my fire spiritual power?" The fire patterns in the Fire Sea Lord's eyes danced violently... clearly surprised... It increased the output of its fire spiritual power... The flame vortex accelerated again... and pounced towards Liu Yang...

Liu Yang injected all the energy from the Space Pearl, Nether Pearl, and Ice and Fire Spirit Crystal into the Myriad Demons Pearl... The Myriad Demons Pearl's suction became even stronger... A large amount of fire spiritual power was sucked into it... Transformed into pure spiritual power... and poured into Liu Yang's body...
