"Lin Feng! Lin Feng!"
On the shore, Dugu Yan cried out anxiously, her face full of worry.
"This kid is too reckless," Dugu Bo muttered, frowning. "Didn't even wait for to finish talking before diving in."
"But don't worry, Yan'er," he added, softening his tone. "With his Ultimate Fla, this level of magma can't hurt him. The only thing that matters now is how he handles the Fla Beast."
Beneath the magma, Lin Feng had already descended dozens of ters.
He paused, observing the flow of lava around him. He noticed that the fire veins converged at seven or eight different points.
"Dragon Seeking Compass, follow the clustered mountains..."
Murmuring the incantation, he activated the Dragon Seeking Compass and followed the nearest fire vein.
About fifteen minutes later, deep within a magma cavern, Lin Feng finally spotted a Fla Beast resting.
The creature spanned dozens of ters in length. Its entire body was covered in massive black scales, interlaced with golden patterns and edged like blades. It had the form of a prival Qilin, with four limbs, a single golden horn on its forehead, and massive black wings folded behind its back.
"System, Trait Insight!"
[Soul Beast: Fla Beast]
[Age: 11,000 years]
[Traits: Ironhide (White), Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Bone (Green)]
"It has a soul bone?" Lin Feng was surprised. It had been six years since he last encountered a soul beast carrying one.
But the mont the Fla Beast sensed an intruder, it let out an ear-splitting screech.
"Roooaar!"
It rose and instantly launched at Lin Feng, using its golden horn like a spear.
Too late to dodge, Lin Feng crossed his arms.
"Second Soul Skill: True Dragon Scales!"
Golden dragon scales quickly enveloped his body, forming an unbreakable armor fused with his Ultimate Fla.
He raised a dragon-scale shield to et the incoming blow.
The golden horn ramd straight into the shield—
"Bang!"
Within seconds, the shield shattered. Lin Feng was flung back several ters, a trickle of blood at his lips.
"Such incredible strength…?" he gasped.
"With Grandpa Dugu stuck up on the surface, I'm on my own here."
"This is the toughest opponent I've ever faced. Might as well go all out—see how strong I've really beco!"
Steeling his will, Lin Feng summoned all his soul power.
"Third Soul Skill—Inferno Burst!"
From the surrounding lava, fire energy surged toward him, swirling like a vortex. A blazing projection of the Emperor Fla Nine-Headed Dragon began to manifest.
"ROAAAR!"
The Fla Beast sensed the shift and let out another earth-shaking roar. It opened its massive jaws, conjuring a giant fireball that grew rapidly as it poured in soul power.
---
On the surface—
The magma, which had been calm, now churned violently. Jets of fla roared upward, giant bubbles erupted with thunderous blasts.
"Grandpa, Lin Feng—he's not in danger, is he?" Dugu Yan asked, her voice cracking with fear.
Dugu Bo held her tightly. "He'll be fine. We have to trust him."
In truth, even Dugu Bo couldn't be sure. He could only guess that Lin Feng was locked in a fierce battle below.
---
Under the lava—
"Inferno Burst, go!"
"Haaah!!" Lin Feng roared with all his might.
Just then, the Fla Beast fired its massive fireball.
The two forces collided head-on, creating shockwaves that shook the very core of the magma cavern. Molten rock fell from the ceiling as if a subterranean quake had erupted.
Veins bulging, Lin Feng poured soul power into sustaining his Nine-Headed Dragon projection. But despite his top-tier martial soul, the power difference was undeniable.
Without enough soul power, the inferno was rapidly being overrun.
The Fla Beast, seizing the mont, flapped its wings with incredible force. The magma currents themselves bent to its will, surging toward Lin Feng like a tidal wave of fire.
Suddenly—his right arm began to glow with multicolored light.
The Crimson Scale Serpent Hand Bone on his right arm activated. Two glowing dragon horns sprouted above the bone, and its serpentine form shifted into a divine dragon shape.
"Rrrrrrrr—!"
With a thunderous rumble, a crimson-gold dragon erged from Lin Feng's right arm, coiling around him in a protective spiral.
The Fla Beast released its ultimate attack.
BOOM!
The Nine-Headed Dragon projection shattered.
The fireball engulfed Lin Feng's body in a blazing explosion.
The Fla Beast bellowed triumphantly—convinced it had incinerated its enemy.
But as the flas died down—
The crimson-gold dragon uncoiled, revealing Lin Feng standing there, unhard.
"Too bad... I had a soul bone."
He darted forward like lightning, seizing the mont.
The Fla Beast was stunned—just enough for Lin Feng to strike first.
"Right Arm Soul Bone Skill: True Dragon's Claw!"
A pitch-black divine dragon, devoid of any glow, erged and spiraled through the magma toward the Fla Beast.
Just as the beast tried to summon another fireball, the dragon punched clean through its skull.
"Boom!"
Bursting from the lava, Lin Feng hurled the Fla Beast's massive corpse onto the shore before collapsing, exhausted.
"Lin Feng!!" Dugu Yan scread, tears streaming down her face as she rushed to his side.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with him?" she sobbed.
Dugu Bo bent down and examined him. "It's alright. Looks like he passed out from exhaustion."
Other than a few fractured ribs, his body was intact. Even his clothes were barely scuffed.
"This brat... a newly advanced Soul Ancestor, and he soloed a ten-thousand-year soul beast?"
"He doesn't even know how to retreat?"
"Yan'er, I'll heal him."
Dugu Bo sat cross-legged and began transferring soul power into Lin Feng, stabilizing his internal condition and nding his bones.
About half a day passed before Lin Feng finally regained consciousness.
