The formation that Shen Sangruo had set up finally took effect.
The temperature on the volcano suddenly dropped, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a world of ice and snow.
The fire phoenix was also imprisoned by a layer of frost.
However, the power of ice and snow in this formation is clearly insufficient to contend with the magma of an entire volcano.
The magma beneath the frost continues to flow, melting the ice.
Even the Fire Phoenix seems to be showing signs of breaking free from its confinement.
"The formation probably won't hold for long, let's go!" Feng Heyun shouted.
He immediately helped the injured Bai Mumu up, "Junior Sister, I'll take you away!"
Wen Xuan emerged from the crater, having already stored the Fire Scale Vine he had gathered in his storage bag.
He was unaware of what had just happened, and his voice trembled: "Xiao Ruo, she..."
"Second Senior Brother, I know you don't want to accept this, but Fifth Senior Sister is gone." Bai Mumu covered her blood-soaked arm, her voice trembling with tears.
"Wh-what?" Wen Xuan's pupils contracted, and his face turned pale instantly.
"It's hard to explain in a short time, let's go!" Feng Heyun said, but then realized that someone was missing. "Where's Third Junior Brother?"
The group searched everywhere for Lu Shiqing.
Turning his head, he saw him staring at the frozen fire phoenix with a sinister gaze, his face terribly grim.
His gaze shifted from the fire phoenix to the volcano, his fists clenched tightly.
The next moment, gritting her teeth and steeling her resolve, she suddenly rushed into the volcano, shouting, "Chen Sangri, you mustn't die!"
The others never expected Lu Shiqing to rush over so recklessly.
Lu Shiqing usually dislikes Shen Sangruo so much, but now he is the one who is most emotionally out of control.
He was still stopped by Wen Xuan, who caught up with him.
"Shi Qing! Calm down!" Wen Xuan paused before speaking, enduring the excruciating pain, "Xiao Ruo, we can't possibly find her!"
If Shen Sang had fallen into the lava, not even his bones would have remained.
"Your impulsiveness will only betray all of Xiaoruo's efforts. She gave her life to give us a chance to live. The most important thing now is to get out of here alive!"
Lu Shiqing instantly lost all strength and almost couldn't stand up.
He didn't even know how he managed to retreat several kilometers away from the volcano.
After they fled, the volcano erupted again.
This eruption covered the entire volcano with a layer of lava, making it impossible for anyone to set foot on it again.
They remained silent, staring intently at the volcano.
They all knew in their hearts that Chen Sangruo would never come back.
——
It hurts!!!
Shen Sangruo could think of nothing but that one word.
Unlike the mental torture of the confinement chamber formation, and unlike the insidious torture of the Seven Emotions Gu.
This kind of pain is more direct and brutal.
The scalding lava completely enveloped her, scorching every inch of her body.
Even when faced with the confinement chamber and the Seven Emotions Gu, she still retained a sliver of rationality.
But this excruciating pain left her completely overwhelmed by it.
In a short while, Shen Sanruo fainted.
The fiery heart on her chest throbbed joyfully across her body, releasing bursts of energy.
Shen Sangruo, who should have been burned to ashes by the flames, still retains her form.
Her skin was not in direct contact with the lava; there was a gap about the width of a little finger between them.
This interval, coupled with her fire elemental root's inherent tolerance to flames, prevented her from instantly turning to ashes.
New flesh and blood kept growing to fill the areas where she was burned, creating a strange balance with the magma.
Thus, Shen Sangruo was completely engulfed in magma.
But this is equivalent to her being constantly burned, enduring the agony of being engulfed in flames.
Unable to give birth, unable to die.
The most concentrated and purest fire-elemental spiritual energy in the magma, due to this close contact, rushed into her meridians and dantian in an endless stream.
Shen Sangruo, who had been in a coma, broke through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment not long after.
However, the good times didn't last long, and the influx of spiritual energy soon exceeded the limit that Shen Sangruo could withstand.
Her meridians, like her skin, were constantly being ruptured and reshaped.
Fortunately, she had completely lost consciousness, otherwise she would have gone mad from the combined pain of these two kinds of suffering.
After an unknown amount of time, Chen Sanruo slowly sank down, disappearing instantly upon touching the bottom of the volcano.
——
When Shen Sanruo woke up, she found herself in a room.
Surprised that she hadn't died from falling into the lava, hadn't lost any limbs, and hadn't even lost a piece of skin.
She first rolled her eyes to observe her surroundings, concluding that this must be the cave dwelling of some cultivator.
She couldn't help but complain to herself, wondering why she always inexplicably appeared at other people's houses.
What she could sense was that this cave was significantly larger than the previous Nascent Soul cultivator's cave by more than ten times.
It can even rival the size of some small sects.
The size of this cave dwelling... what level of cultivator is it?
Moreover, the various decorations and furnishings are quite complete, unlike an abandoned cave dwelling.
If the owner of the cave were still alive, she would have no chance of survival.
She estimated that if the other party had simply used a wisp of spiritual energy to probe her, she would have been killed.
Although she doesn't know how she survived, having barely escaped death, she must cherish it immensely.
She was about to get up when she realized she had no strength left in her body.
Shen Sanruo immediately wanted to use her spiritual power to investigate.
But she had no spiritual power at all.
Her eyes darkened.
Has his cultivation been completely dissipated again?
No, it should be worse than that.
She couldn't even feel the existence of her meridians and dantian.
Even if one's cultivation is completely depleted, it can be rebuilt.
However, with her meridians and dantian completely destroyed, she became a cripple, with no possibility of cultivation in this lifetime.
She tried to calm herself down. She had only made a cursory investigation and couldn't be sure. Perhaps there would be other opportunities.
What she needs to do now is to regain her strength as soon as possible and leave this place.
As Shen Sanruo was thinking, her neck suddenly tightened, as if something had pulled her a short distance.
Alarm bells rang in her mind, and the pulling sensation disappeared.
A moment later, her neck tightened again, then relaxed again after she moved.
Shen Sangruo was completely bewildered.
It felt like something was bouncing and pulling her somewhere.
She carefully felt what was pulling her; it seemed to be a thin thread.
Thin lines on the neck?
Something occurred to her, and she immediately exclaimed, "The Heart of Blaze?"
A profound silence fell.
Did she misunderstand?
"Don't call me Heart of Blazing Flames, call me Immortal Lord Changli." A clear yet languid voice rang in her ear.
Shen Sanruo's eyes lit up instantly; the Blazing Heart was formed from a wisp of the divine soul of Immortal Lord Changli.
"This junior greets Immortal Lord Changli."
Although she is now partially paralyzed, she still needs to maintain proper etiquette when interacting with her seniors.
"Has Immortal Lord Changli regained consciousness?"
The soul of Immortal Lord Changli, in the form of the Heart of Blazing Flames, was in a chaotic state, retaining only some instinctive reactions.
"Hmm, it's comfortable to stay in the lava. I woke up when I was happy."
The voice spoke slowly and deliberately, but it seemed rather unserious.
