However, Zuan understands Zhao Hao best. With his cultivation level, how could he possibly die here so easily?
Sure enough, in the blink of an eye, the magma suddenly surged up again, as if a fierce battle was taking place inside.
A few breaths later, the magma completely separated, and a figure soared into the sky—none other than Zhao Hao.
The enormous Earth Flame Demon was torn in two and then turned into magma, disappearing completely.
This time, Zhao Hao didn't overestimate himself. Instead, he flew back, looking quite disheveled. His hair was disheveled, and there were many burn marks on his beard and hair.
Several large holes were burned into his clothes, and the flesh inside was clearly visible.
A faint aroma of charred meat wafted through the air...
Awkward!
Zhao Hao was now only thinking about two words: He had been a powerful and imposing man in his life, and had never suffered such a great loss, being made so pathetic in front of a few juniors.
However, Zuan and the others were full of admiration. He was dragged directly into the lava by the Earth Flame Demon, but he not only did not die, but he was also able to kill his opponent. The price he paid was only a few holes burned in his clothes. In fact, his clothes were still intact. Obviously, his protective energy isolated the lava.
"Ahem!" Zhao Hao cleared his throat, looking solemnly at the lava beside him.
The magma churned and boiled, quickly forming a gigantic monster once more—the Earth Flame Demon had been resurrected!
Qiu Honglei exclaimed in horror, "Is this monster immortal?"
Zhao Hao also frowned. Although he was stronger than this monster, it could still pose a certain threat to him. The key was that it was immortal and could recover without injury each time, while he would have to consume some of its own energy. With this disparity, he might be worn down to death by it.
Especially since the Ghost King is hiding in the shadows, I need to conserve my energy to deal with him.
Jing Teng suddenly clutched his head, seemingly suffering from a headache.
Zu An was taken aback: "Did you remember something?"
Jing Teng nodded and looked at the monster, saying, "As long as this magma doesn't dry up, the Earth Flame Demon can regenerate indefinitely."
The group frowned slightly. The lava was hundreds of feet in circumference, and they didn't know how deep it was below. How could so much lava be dried up?
At this moment, Jing Teng's gaze fell into the depths of the magma: "The reason this magma was formed is because there is a special Soul-Burning Fire Crystal in it. The reason this monster has been here all this time is probably because it is greedy for the energy of the Soul-Burning Fire Crystal. Being around it allows it to continuously evolve and eventually become stronger."
Zhao Hao's eyes lit up: "The Soul-Burning Fire Crystal, a fire-type supreme treasure, looks like it's of divine quality."
This item is a treasure for fire-type cultivators. Cultivating next to it can make their efforts twice as effective. The fact that even such a powerful monster still needs to stay by its side to cultivate speaks volumes.
In addition to helping increase cultivation speed, it can also be used to refine some legendary pills and certain special magical treasures.
Even though he was incredibly wealthy, he had only acquired a very small piece of magma many years ago. The massive magma before him was definitely much larger than the piece he had acquired back then.
With a thought, he said, "Zu'an, let's cooperate. You go and restrain this Earth Flame Demon, and I will go into the magma to find the Soul-Burning Fire Crystal. Only in this way can we completely kill this monster."
Even he wouldn't mind having too much of something so precious, especially since he had already used up his previous one.
Zuan shook his head: "This Earth Flame Demon is too powerful. I can't control it at all. I'd probably be killed in one move. It's better if Your Majesty can hold it off while I go search for it."
Zhao Hao smiled faintly: "I know that anyone would be tempted by such a treasure, but you still have to act within your capabilities. Can you withstand the raging fire element of this thick magma? Don't end up being burned and disfigured, making your confidante heartbroken."
He knew that Zaun's fighting strength was somewhat special. Although he might not be able to defeat this Flame Demon, he should be able to hold out for a while.
Perhaps we can take this opportunity to learn more about his true intentions.
Qiu Honglei looked at Zu An with worry, and even Jing Teng was worried for him. This terrifying magma was probably something that very few people in the world could enter.
"It should be fine. If it doesn't go down, we can always send the Emperor down instead." Zu An seemed quite relaxed.
"Alright then." Zhao Hao didn't try to persuade him any further. He himself had almost been burned to death when he went down there, so how could this kid possibly succeed?
Let him suffer a bit before I step in.
At this moment, the Earth Flame Demon roared angrily. It was clear that the experience of being killed twice was not pleasant. Although it could be resurrected after death, the pain of dying was real.
It once again lashed its long, fiery whip at the people on the shore. Although it couldn't kill the one in yellow, it could at least kill the other humans and vent its pent-up anger.
Zhao Hao snorted coldly: "With me here, how could I let you run rampant?"
He still needed these people's help, so he naturally wouldn't watch them get into trouble. A golden giant rose up above his head, reached out and grabbed the flaming whip, and then the two of them started wrestling.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zuan flashed into the lava.
Qiu Honglei and Jing Teng's hearts jumped instantly, their eyes wide open, ready to rush to their rescue at any moment.
The Earth Demon saw his actions but paid no attention. What an ignorant human! The terrifyingly high temperature in magma can instantly incinerate your flesh and blood, leaving not even a trace of bone fragments, all of which will become nourishment for the magma.
Zhao Hao was also silently watching the situation. On one hand, he hated Zu An to the bone, but on the other hand, he didn't want him to die so soon, as he still needed Zu An's help to deal with the Ghost King.
