Chapter 1327: Chapter 1327: Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion

The four Innate experts, who had recovered to their peak states, displayed astounding battle prowess, slaying the Spirit Beasts around the stone pillars as easily as one would kill chickens or slaughter dogs.

A hundred breaths later, over half of the several hundred Spirit Beasts had been slain, and the remaining beasts plunged into the Fire Sea, no longer daring to show their faces.

Li Chenzhou, Yin Tianyu, and Jing Chaoyu successively let out long, high-pitched, and exhilarating howls that reached the clouds, filled with boundless joy.

The three of them knew that after repelling the Spirit Beasts, the path leading to the other side of the Fire Sea would be unobstructed, with no Spirit Beasts daring to attack again.

"Brother Li, let’s move on!"

Unlike the other three, Fang Bai did not show much excitement, put away his Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, and with a faint smile, formed his Wind Wings, violently flapped them, and soared straight up into the sky.

"Brother Fang, I’m coming!"

Li Chenzhou stomped fiercely on the ground, his wings generating a whirlwind as he swiftly pursued Fang Bai.

Although the four had repelled the Spirit Beasts, the Fire Sea was still fraught with dangers. Seeing Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou leave, the Black and White Demons did not dare to slack and, after exchanging a glance, spread their wings and flew towards the other side.

As the four had predicted, although they rested several times on stone pillars during their journey, no Spirit Beasts harassed them again, and they arrived unimpeded on the land across the Fire Sea.

"My heavens... so many Fire-attribute Spirit Medicines..."

"Most of them are at least three thousand years old... and there are even some around four thousand years!"

"Spirit Medicines of such long medicinal ages are rarely seen in normal times, yet here they are as far as the eye can see, their value even exceeding that of the Essence Stone Veins at the edge of the Eternal Death Zone!"

...

Even Li Chenzhou and the Black and White Demons, who were top experts in the True Martial Realm and had weathered countless storms, couldn’t help but gasp in astonishment upon landing and seeing the innumerable high-grade Fire-attribute Spirit Medicines that covered the ground, an endless and magnificent spectacle.

Although Fang Bai was an Immortal Venerable in his previous life and had seen plenty of celestial Spirit Medicines with medicinal ages of over a hundred thousand years, his current cultivation was not yet at the Innate level, and these several thousand-year-old high-grade Spirit Medicines were precisely what he needed for cultivation; therefore, he too showed a slight upward curve of his lips, displaying a look of joy upon seeing them.

Even though the Essence Stone Veins at the edge of the Eternal Death Zone were astonishingly vast, the Fire-attribute Spirit Medicines here held greater value and utility for the four of them.

"If the treasures in the core area of the Eternal Death Zone are simply these Spirit Medicines, there’s no need for us to engage in a grand conflict over them."

As Li Chenzhou spoke, he glanced over at the Black and White Demons.

The Black and White Demons expressed no clear agreement, but inwardly they had accepted Li Chenzhou’s words.

Originally, the Black and White Demons were determined to fight fiercely for any discovered treasures, but if said treasures were these Fire-attribute Spirit Medicines, then there was no need to fight tooth and nail against Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou.

Rarity is the essence of value.

The same holds true for Spirit Medicines.

If there were only a few of these Fire-attribute Spirit Medicines, it’s likely that the Black and White Demons and Fang Bai and Li Chenzhou would have battled fiercely, with the victor claiming the Spirit Medicines. However, there were so many here that it was beyond estimation, and even if all four of them were to freely harvest, each could only take a portion home.

Thus, all of them lost any desire for competition, to avoid wasting True Essence.

While Li Chenzhou and the Black and White Demons were astonished by the Spirit Medicines before them, Fang Bai’s Divine Sense had already extended towards the area ahead.

"We haven’t reached the core of the Eternal Death Zone yet, there may be even more surprises waiting for us up front!"

A moment later, Fang Bai’s eyes sparkled with excitement as he spoke.

"That’s true!"

Li Chenzhou nodded upon hearing this, rubbing his hands together eagerly, "So what are we waiting for? Let’s keep moving!"

The Black and White Demons were also quite interested, their eyes turning to Fang Bai.

As Fang Bai had said, this place was not the very core of the Eternal Death Zone, nor had they seen any trace of the Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion; the treasure it guarded must still lie ahead.

"There may be surprises ahead, but with them, possibly even greater risks. Brother Li, we need to be extra careful!"

Fang Bai spoke while stepping on the Fire-attribute Spirit Medicine that covered the ground, leading the way forward.

Li Chenzhou and the Black and White Demons followed closely behind.

All four of them were no longer expending their True Essence to condense wings for flight, but instead, they were using a method of rapid ground traversal. Their speed was hardly slower than flying, and they didn’t need to use too much True Essence. By conserving their strength, they would be capable of fighting should they encounter danger along the way.

As they drew near the central heart of the Eternal Death Zone, the heat had almost reached the limits that Li Chenzhou and the Black and White Demons could bear. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, and they had to form a True Essence Barrier to defend themselves against the onslaught of Fire Primordial Qi, preventing their bodies from being scorched by the excessive heat.

Only Fang Bai, without a True Essence Barrier protecting him, his clothes still neat and clean, his expression unchanged, as if the high surrounding temperatures had no effect on him at all.

"If that kid isn’t equipped with a treasure that wards off fire, then he must possess an extremely formidable constitution capable of contending with the Fire Primordial Qi!"

The complex gaze of the Black and White Demons followed Fang Bai, as they silently speculated in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye, the four traversed several miles. The increasingly dense Fire Primordial Qi turned the scarlet view even denser around them, greatly obstructing their vision, and their Divine Sense could only probe a few hundred meters ahead, less than half of its capacity under normal circumstances.

Howl...

Suddenly, from a place ahead where their sight could not reach, came a thunderous roar. The sound was like rolling thunder, making Li Chenzhou’s and the others’ ears ring. Even the surrounding dense fog-like Fire Primordial Qi seemed to have been dispersed somewhat by the roar.

Fang Bai’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, while the faces of Li Chenzhou and the others all changed at once.

"The Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion!"

Yin Tianyu cried out in alarm.

Li Chenzhou and Jing Chaoyu immediately tensed up, gripping their Spiritual Artifacts in hand, their will to fight soaring to its peak, their entire beings taut as a tightly drawn bowstring.

The strength of the Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion, which could live for a long time in this extreme heat, was formidable, to say the least. Moreover, it was fighting on its home turf, able to wield the local Fire Primordial Qi at will, doubling its combat power.

Although Fang Bai and the others were Innate perfectionists or possessed equivalent combat strength, trying to slay a Red-Horned Golden Sunny Lion of the same rank was by no means an easy task.

However, since the Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion was present, it indicated that the treasure it guarded was certainly something extraordinary.

With excitement mingled with their tension, the four quickened their pace.

A dozen breaths later, a huge red shadow appeared before their eyes. The shadow, like a mass of moving flames, was slowly approaching them.

As the distance between them closed to about five hundred meters, the four finally saw clearly that the huge red shadow was indeed a majestic and large Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion, towering like a massive elephant.

As the Red-Horned Golden-Eyed Lion moved, its fur flowed and danced as if flames were leaping from its body.
