Battle Through the Heavens: Clan Leader, I'm sorry, now I just want to be a good person.

Everyone nodded after hearing this.

"Forget it, let the elders worry about this kind of thing."

Xiao Fan looked at everyone and said with a faint smile, "Let's not worry about it."

Everyone nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

After more than ten minutes of walking, the group finally reached the top of the tower.

The group stepped onto the last step and finally reached the first floor. However, the space on this floor had changed. A trace of blood-red energy permeated the space, and upon closer inspection, it exuded a violent and scorching aura.

Inside the central black hole of the tower, which had previously kept everyone away, a huge cylindrical energy shield stretched upwards from the center, connecting to the top of the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower.

The energy shield that appeared in the center of the tower naturally attracted the attention of Lin Xiuya and the others, who all looked somewhat surprised.

They exchanged glances, all of them somewhat puzzled.

"Let's get out of here as soon as possible; this must have been set up by the academy elders."

Lin Xiuya coughed lightly and looked away from the center of the beam of light, where he could always sense an unease.

Hearing Lin Xiuya's urging, no one objected, and they quickened their pace to leave the tower.

After undergoing the tempering of their bodies with inner fire, they could also sense a sense of oppression and a strong feeling of unease emanating from it.

Xiao Fan and Xiao Yan walked behind, exchanged a glance, and Xiao Fan slowly shook his head, signaling him to calm down.

Seeing Xiao Fan's actions, Xiao Yan frowned and nodded, then followed the others out of the tower.

Just as the group reached the edge of the black tower and were about to leave,

Suddenly, a surging, scorching aura emanated from the enormous pillar of light behind them.

Several people looked back.

Endless magma surged upwards from the base of the Black Tower, flowing through the central void within its interior. Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, it crashed violently against the tower's spire with immense power.

However, they were all blocked by the energy beam.

As the lava fell, a giant, transparent python coiled inside the pillar of light seal, appearing before everyone's eyes.

"What...what is this thing!?"

Lin Yan and the others looked at the invisible fire python in the light and felt a sense of horror.

Even through the seal, they felt their own insignificance in the face of the surging magma, yet the invisible fire python remained completely unharmed within it.

The enormous head that emerged from the magma naturally saw the few ant-like creatures standing not far away, but then its gaze fixed on Xiao Fan, and it let out a series of roars.

The bodies hovering within the pillar of light also became violently entangled.

It made several attempts to break through, but was blocked by the seal in front of it. Enraged, it instantly spewed invisible flames toward the top of the tower.

Those who remained standing breathed a sigh of relief.

In the brief moment the giant python stared at them, they even found it extremely difficult to mobilize their internal fighting spirit.

Even Zi Yan huddled behind Xiao Fan, tightly gripping his sleeve.

At this moment, Xiao Fan felt a little trembling inside.

Just now, he could clearly sense that the Fallen Heart Flame was looking at him!

When the flames were staring at him, Xiao Fan even felt that his fighting spirit seemed to have stopped, and the Chaos Fire almost burst out of his body, but fortunately he managed to suppress it.

"Xiao Fan... what's wrong?"

Zi Yan, who was hiding behind Xiao Fan, noticed Xiao Fan's trembling hands and teased, "You were so scared after just one glance."

She then pouted and patted her chest, saying to Xiao Fan, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

She completely forgot how she had been so frightened that she had hidden behind Xiao Fan just moments before.
