Beyond the mountain range that encircled the Inner Academy.
At this moment, Han Feng—who had now fully mastered the Flame Mantra and reabsorbed the Sea Heart Flame—suddenly opened his eyes.
His sharp gaze pierced straight toward the distant northern sky.
There, he sensed the presence of a Heavenly Flame.
"So, the Inner Academy of Jia Nan Academy really does have a Heavenly Flame... After all these years of waiting, the opportunity has finally come."
A smile appeared on Han Feng's handsome face as he murmured softly to himself.
But then, as if recalling something, that smile suddenly vanished.
His expression turned ice-cold, filled with killing intent. "That old bastard... He actually went to Jia Nan Academy as well. A man who once stood at the peak of Nine-Star Dou Zun, and he still couldn't handle a teenage brat? Or... did he pass the Flame Mantra to that boy? Are they also after the Heavenly Flame?!"
"Han Beng!"
Han Feng suddenly turned around, his face dark as he called out sharply.
As soon as his voice fell, a ghost-like figure silently flickered into the bamboo house, finally coming to a halt before him.
The figure dropped to one knee. Though the voice was hoarse, it carried no lack of respect. "Master, your orders?"
"Proceed with the plan I gave you earlier—inform Elder Ban, the Black Skeleton Tomb, Ground Fire Sect, Blood Sect, Yin Ghost Sect, the Wild Lion Gang, and the Demon Blade Sect. Tell their Sect Leaders to come immediately."
As he spoke, Han Feng flicked out a command token with his finger. It shot toward Han Beng like a streak of light.
After a moment's thought, he also flicked out two more tokens—one gold, one silver. "And summon the Gold and Silver Elders as well. Gold Elder has already broken through to the Dou Zong realm using medicinal pills. I'm sure the other is also desperate for a Zong Breaking Pill."
"Yes!"
Han Beng responded with reverent obedience, then swiftly vanished into the darkness.
Watching his subordinate disappear, Han Feng exhaled heavily.
He slowly walked to the window, his gaze fixed on the distant mountains.
Although he held massive influence in the Black-Corner Region, he knew Jia Nan Academy was a true behemoth.
Under normal circumstances, he would never dare provoke such a force.
But as a cultivator of the Flame Mantra, the allure of a Heavenly Flame was simply too much to resist.
This time, even if it meant risking the wrath of a Dou Zun, he had to get that flame!
"Heh... Judging by the fluctuations, this flame must rank even higher than my Sea Heart Flame. If this plan succeeds, and I devour both the flame within Jia Nan Academy and that old man's Bone Chilling Flame... even if the Academy's Dou Zun Headmaster returns, I, Han Feng, will still be able to face him!"
Chuckling softly, Han Feng clasped his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with confidence as he gazed toward the source of the flame's aura.
Back when he only had half the Flame Mantra, the odds of successfully absorbing a second Heavenly Flame were very low.
But now, he possessed the complete Flame Mantra. This cultivation technique filled him with overwhelming confidence.
He firmly believed that if he could devour both flames, not only would he break through the Dou Zong bottleneck that had plagued him for over a decade, but his accumulated power would erupt.
His Dou Qi level could easily soar to high-tier Dou Zong!
And his alchemy skills would firmly enter the seventh-tier rank.
At that point, he would no longer need to fear that troublesome Feng Zun Zhe.
Meanwhile, in the endless sea of molten magma—
The world below glowed crimson, reflecting the radiance of the burning lava.
Within this fiery realm, Lin Feng and Medusa were flying ever deeper into the magma world.
"It's so eerily quiet... Aside from the two of us, it feels like nothing else even exists here."
Gazing at the red-hot magma beyond the beast flame shield, Lin Feng sighed.
However, the circulation of the technique within his body was becoming smoother and smoother.
It seemed that this extreme environment was acting like a blazing sun, granting his Solar Flame Transformation Art a special boost.
"This place is getting more and more unbearable. If it weren't for you, I'd never have come to such a hellhole."
Medusa frowned, clearly irritated by the thick, oppressive fire-attribute Dou Qi in the air.
Although she had applied the cooling salve that Lin Feng had given her, in this kind of environment, its effects were minimal. The discomfort still made her feel miserable.
"Just bear with it a little longer."
Seeing the look of distaste on her seductive, pretty face, Lin Feng coaxed gently.
But as the fire poison and searing heat grew increasingly intense…
Even Lin Feng, strong as he was at the peak of Dou Wang, found it difficult to endure. He immediately took out the azure lotus platform.
As soon as he hugged the lotus platform, it swiftly reduced the overwhelming heat and fire poison by seventy to eighty percent, allowing Lin Feng to let out a huge breath of relief.
In this kind of magma world, without at least Dou Zong-level strength—or a treasure like his—
Even an ordinary Dou Huang expert might not make it out alive.
After the two of them had been diving for several hours, a sudden point of white light appeared below.
"What's that?"
Even Medusa, a Three-Star Dou Zong, hadn't noticed when the light had appeared. Her voice carried a wary edge.
"Heh, I think we're just about at our destination."
Lin Feng was stunned for a moment when he saw the little thing, then chuckled softly.
"You mean…"
"That's right. Let's go."
Seeing Medusa catch on, Lin Feng's lips curled slightly, then he sped up, flying straight toward the direction of the white light.
Roughly ten minutes later, a miraculous sight appeared before them.
The magma around them began to slowly ripple and squirm, and from the swirling pool of lava, a faintly glowing transparent light circle suddenly emerged.
Once the circle fully surfaced from the lava, Lin Feng and Medusa instinctively turned their eyes toward it.
Because the circle was completely transparent, it didn't block their vision at all.
Within the light circle, just like the magma world surrounding it, was deathly silent.
Only a single skeletal corpse remained—long since turned to bone—emitting a faint fluorescence.
Hovering above the skeleton was a wisp of flame.
The flame was entirely transparent, as if it were formless.
Its appearance was nearly identical to the Falling Heart Flame Lin Feng had seen previously outside Cultivation Room No. 1—
Except this one was smaller and clearly weaker. But all its other characteristics were exactly the same.
"That skeleton must've belonged to a Dou Zun powerhouse. Even after death, I can still sense a faint pressure from it,"
Medusa said solemnly as she stared at the glowing bones below.
Suddenly, she spotted the transparent flame within the light screen and exclaimed in surprise, "Falling Heart Flame? Why is it so weak?"
"That must be the second Falling Heart Flame. Judging from its appearance, it's probably still in its infant stage."
Of course Lin Feng knew the truth, but since it would be difficult to explain, he also feigned surprise as he replied.
"Watch out! Move!"
Medusa suddenly sensed the aura of a Six-Star Dou Huang approaching rapidly from Lin Feng's side and shouted sharply to warn him.
