Su Rui carefully put away the Thunder Scale, took a deep breath, and continued to dive. As he went deeper, the light around him became dimmer and the pressure gradually increased, but he did not stop.
After a long and arduous journey, Su Rui finally found his way out of the fork in the road. He now found himself in a vaster, more majestic river of magma. The magma here was slightly thinner than before, but the heat it emitted was undiminished, as if it was melting everything.
Just as he found his footing, Su Rui suddenly sensed a strong, dangerous aura approaching. Without a second thought, he dodged with a flash of his body. It was a massive black tongue, sweeping toward him like lightning! After stabilizing himself, Su Rui looked in the direction of the tongue's forceful onslaught. He saw a toad, the size of a hill, half-submerged in the lava. Its large, copper-bell-shaped eyes gleamed with a fierce, greedy glint as it stared at him intently.
Su Rui was secretly furious and was about to step forward to teach this uninvited guest a lesson, but he didn't expect something strange to happen! A strange fish, eight or nine feet long, with a snake-like head and a fish-like body, and fins covered with sharp barbs, suddenly leaped out of the magma, opened its wide mouth full of sharp fangs, and came straight at him to bite!
Su Rui casually punched the fish, sending it flying. Gazing intently at the vast river of lava before him, he was surprised to discover not only toads and strange fish, but also giant fire shrimp, fire crabs, and other bizarre creatures. Clearly, the lava in this underground cavern had formed a unique and complete ecosystem.
At this moment, Su Rui was feeling hungry, so he grabbed the strange fish he had knocked unconscious. He expertly peeled its skin, removed the bones, and ate it raw without hesitation. Surprisingly, despite living in a hot lava environment, the fish tasted incredibly tender and delicious.
After tasting the delicious fish, Su Rui excitedly went on to catch several plump fire shrimp and crabs, enjoying a delicious lava seafood sashimi feast. A toad, lurking in the lava and attempting to attack Su Rui, saw the situation was dire and was about to launch a surprise attack, but Su Rui swiftly counterattacked with his thunder scales. With a shrill cry, the injured toad hurriedly dove deeper into the boiling lava, disappearing without a trace.
Su Rui had no intention of hunting down the toad. After all, judging by its appearance, it didn't look like something suitable for raw consumption, and it didn't look like a fire demon possessing any valuable treasure. Chasing it would be futile and a waste of time.
Su Rui carefully walked along the river of magma, each step filled with vigilance and caution. Time passed by minute by minute, and after about a quarter of an hour, the view suddenly opened up, and he finally arrived at the legendary center of the earth.
It felt like a boundless sea of flames, a suffocating heat wafting across the surface. The space was incredibly vast, boundless. As far as the eye could see, countless bubbles of varying sizes floated within, some as massive as houses, others as small as the palm of a hand. Most of the bubbles were transparent, revealing within them a greasy, inky black flame resembling asphalt.
Faced with such a strange and mysterious scene, Su Rui was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe, fearing that he would accidentally break the fragile alveoli and trigger a terrible volcanic eruption. Because he knew very well that those black greasy flames were the target of his adventure - the true fire of the earth!
Furthermore, interspersed among the numerous bubbles were chunks of lava-like cyan metal of varying shapes and sizes. These metals shimmered with a strange light and emitted powerful fluctuations of elemental energy. After careful observation, Su Rui was pleasantly surprised to discover that these cyan metals were the perfect material for refining elemental magnetic magic weapons—Elemental Magnetic Gold!
Su Rui's human body exercises had already entered the third level and he had thought for a long time about how to condense the evil spirit. Using fire to condense the evil spirit was the direction he had already decided on. However, there were only seven kinds of true fire in this world, and countless other precious flames, which made it difficult for him to choose.
However, the seven true fires were the purest. After condensing the evil spirit with a true fire, if one was not satisfied, they could combine it with other true fires or ordinary fires to change the properties of the earthly evil spirit within the body. For example, combining the Earthly Extreme True Fire with the Moon True Fire could create the Netherworld True Fire. The Earthly Extreme True Fire happened to be one of the seven true fires. Su Rui had not considered it before because it was not within his expectations. However, after hearing about the whereabouts of the true fire, he naturally would not miss such a good opportunity to condense the evil spirit, so he took the risk and entered.
Now that the Earth's Ultimate True Fire is right in front of him, he is finally about to reach the stage of Condensing the Evil!
