Black Flame Divine Gold is located in the forbidden area of the southern region of the demon realm, which is also the territory of the Phoenix Clan.
Although the Immortal and Demon races are of higher status than the Monster race, Danyangzi and Chili, who came alone this time, still planned to act cautiously. They were just collecting materials for forging a sword, so there was no need to be too high-profile and avoid unnecessary trouble.
Danyangzi was surprised that the easygoing Akari would agree with him, which made Danyangzi feel quite novel.
The two took flight, trying to avoid the aerial patrols of the Phoenix Clan. As long as they remained undetected, infiltrating the Phoenix Clan's forbidden area, the "Burning Flame Nirvana Pool," would be an easy task.
Both Danyangzi and Chili were at the ninth level of the Extreme Realm. The Phoenix Twin Emperors did not detect the two hiding their auras, and the two successfully infiltrated the Phoenix Clan's forbidden area.
Within the forbidden area, Danyangzi and Chili stared intently at the Burning Flame Nirvana Pool before them. The enormous, bubbling pool of molten lava contained the top-grade sword-forging materials that the two legendary swordsmiths, Danyangzi and Chili, had always dreamed of.
The difficulty in collecting Black Flame Divine Gold lies in the fact that one must enter the Burning Flame Nirvana Pool, which emits extremely high temperatures, and the material happens to be at the bottom of the pool.
Aside from the Phoenix Twin Emperors, who are the masters of the forbidden area and can freely traverse this scorching heat, anyone who tries to enter the pool filled with molten lava is doomed to perish. Even a ninth-rank cultivator would not be able to gain any advantage in the Burning Flame Nirvana Pool.
Danyangzi and Akari, legendary swordsmiths, represent the pinnacle of the forging world. Their decision to venture alone into this forbidden area to gather materials suggests they have a clever method.
Danyangzi took out a light blue square mirror from his storage bag and proudly introduced it to Chili: "Hey, little dwarf, this is a treasure I made that can resist this terrifying magma. It's called the Fire-Repelling Square Universe Mirror. It was forged by fusing the Fire-Repelling Crystal from the Dragon Palace in the Eastern District of the Demon Realm."
"It can protect the two of us from injury when we enter this pool, and we can successfully collect the Black Flame Divine Gold without expending too much energy."
Chili stomped on Danyangzi's foot and said angrily, "Who are you calling a child? Believe me or not, I'll kill you with one sword!"
After saying that, Akari took out a light blue oiled paper umbrella from her storage bag and said disdainfully, "Who needs your protection? Do you think I don't have hands and can't make my own?"
Danyangzi's Fire-Repelling Four Directions Universe Mirror not only matches the color of the oil-paper umbrella in Chili's hand, but also emits the same icy aura that can resist high temperatures.
The two legendary swordsmiths always had remarkably similar ideas about forging, not because others couldn't think of them, but because only they were capable of forging such supreme treasures.
Akari opened the umbrella in his hand, and a blue glowing shield spread from the edge of the light blue oil paper umbrella, enveloping Akari. Danyoko also activated the square mirror in his hand, and the same blue glowing shield enveloped him.
The two jumped into the molten lava-filled Nirvana Pool one after the other. With the help of their magical artifacts, they successfully protected themselves. Chili and Danyangzi moved very fast and reached the bottom of the pool, which was a thousand meters deep, in the blink of an eye.
Akari looked at the empty center of the pool and asked in confusion, "Huh, why isn't it there?"
Danyangzi raised an eyebrow, smiled, and moved closer to Chili, saying, "How could a legendary demon swordsmith not know that the Black Flame Divine Gold is on the wall of the Burning Flame Nirvana Pool?"
Danyangzi had been following behind Akari, wondering why Akari was heading towards the center. But when he arrived and heard what Akari said, he immediately laughed.
Seeing Danyangzi so close and acting so obsequiously, Chili gritted her teeth and shoved Danyangzi away, but accidentally knocked the fire-repelling mirror out of Danyangzi's hand.
Danyangzi had not expected Chili to react so strongly. He had no time to react when the Fire-Repelling Mirror was knocked down, and he was unable to mobilize his immortal energy for protection in time. The enormous energy in the Burning Flame Nirvana Pool struck him instantly, and the molten lava corroded him in an instant.
Akari hurriedly grabbed Danyangzi's hand, but it was too late. Danyangzi, struck by the energy in the pool and instantly eroded by the molten lava, spat out a mouthful of golden blood, which was swallowed up by the lava and disappeared without a trace.
Danyangzi leaned against Chili, feeling a burning pain all over his body. Chili channeled his energy to draw Danyangzi's Fire-Repelling Mirror into his palm and placed the mirror on Danyangzi.
"Quickly, activate your broken mirror!" Akari's voice was urgent; she could tell that Danyangzi was definitely not feeling well at the moment.
Akari used all her strength to activate the oil-paper umbrella to help Danyangzi dispel the burning pain. Danyangzi did not dare to be careless, as he felt a fiery snake writhing inside his body, causing him great pain.
Danyangzi tried his best to activate the Fire-Repelling Mirror. The two fire-repelling treasures operated at full power to help Danyangzi dispel the burning pain. He sat cross-legged and circulated his internal energy to heal his injuries, while Chili could only watch anxiously from the side.
Fortunately, his strength was considerable. If it had been someone with lower cultivation level, or without a fire-repelling artifact, the bag would have been melted to nothing.
Half an hour later, Danyangzi slowly exhaled a breath of hot, turbid air. The full activation of the two fire-repelling artifacts made him feel much better.
Akari stood next to Tanyoko, head bowed, clutching the hem of her skirt with both hands, and said to Tanyoko shyly and apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to knock over your broken mirror..."
Danyangzi shook his head frankly. He sat cross-legged, and looking at Chili's lowered face, his heart beat faster for no reason.
"No, it's nothing."
After resting for a while, Danyangzi stood up and said, "Let's go. We'll go to the pool wall to collect the Black Flame Divine Gold. Once we've collected it, we'll head to the human realm."
Akari nodded obediently, clearly still feeling guilty for hurting Danyoko by knocking down the mirror. She silently followed behind Danyoko without saying a word.
Danyangzi, who was flying ahead, would occasionally steal a glance back at Akari. He gritted his teeth, slowed down, and retreated to Akari's side.
Why aren't you saying anything? Is it because of what happened earlier?
Akari nodded frankly, pursed her rosy lips, and said, "I'm usually very careless in my actions, I'm really sorry."
Danyangzi's heart beat even faster.
After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "It's okay. If you really mind, just let me win the duel."
Akari was stunned by Danyoko's cheerful smile. Her beautiful red eyes sparkled with admiration, and she shyly turned her head away, not daring to look at Danyoko. She simply said "okay" softly.
Danyangzi didn't notice Akari's actions; he just felt that talking to Akari, who was a demon, was not so unpleasant anymore.
Why am I feeling a little excited and expectant?
The two arrived at the wall of the Burning Flame Nirvana Pool, and Danyangzi, following the records, quickly found the Black Flame Divine Gold with Chili.
A large piece of black-gold ore was deeply embedded in the rough pool wall. Danyangzi took out his tools, dug out the black-gold ore, and put it into his storage bag.
