Three thousand meters below.
The environment here could no longer be described as harsh.
Yang Fan felt that what surrounded him was no longer water.
It was magma!
Every dive now had become incredibly difficult; even with Yao Lao's Bone Chilling Flame as defense, he could still feel that unprecedented scorching heat.
The key was he simply didn't know how much distance was left below.
This was the most desperate part!
The Ginseng Essence could only protect him for seventy-two hours.
If time ran out...
He might die here.
"Master, can you feel it?"
This was not the first time Yang Fan had asked this question.
But if he didn't ask, in this suffocating environment, his tightly stretched nerves might collapse.
"Not yet!"
The situation below the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well was very complex; the surrounding magma was mixed with a special fire attribute energy.
This energy produced obvious resistance against his soul power, against his current soul.
Yang Fan stopped speaking!
He knew the only thing he could do next was one thing.
Continue diving!
At this time, the Soul Breaking Spear played a crucial role.
The sharpness of the Soul Breaking Spear's tip and its slender body became the key tool for cutting through thorns and bushes now.
Not only that!
The Soul Breaking Spear was his Martial Soul after all, belonging to a part of his body.
It could give feedback on the specific situation below for him in advance.
At this time...
Yao Lao's voice suddenly rang out in his heart.
"Careful!"
"There is something approaching us from the front."
Yang Fan's nerves suddenly tightened to the extreme point.
He had only one thought in his brain now: Stare tightly directly below.
This was the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well!
No matter what thing was coming from directly ahead, there was no retreat to speak of.
Suddenly!
A mouthful of hot breath blew towards his face.
Yang Fan's eyebrows involuntarily wrinkled tightly, feeling as if the skin on his face was about to explode.
This was still with the Bone Chilling Flame defending outside his body; otherwise, Yang Fan didn't know what would happen.
Hiss~~~
Yang Fan only then discovered a giant object had already bumped against his face.
Diving is difficult, floating is easy!
Yang Fan was scared and immediately rose dozens of meters, creating a certain distance from this massive giant object.
At the same time, this allowed him to see the true appearance of this giant object.
It was a dragon!
A giant dragon exactly the same color as the surrounding fire-red magma.
Even the aura of both was identical.
This was also why when the giant dragon had arrived before his eyes, it hadn't been discovered by Yang Fan.
Wait!
"Master, what exactly is this?"
Calming down, Yang Fan discovered the clues of this giant object.
It was a dragon, but not!
This giant dragon had only form but no body, just like Yao Lao's soul state.
"It should be the guardian!"
"We are not far from the mysterious thing below specifically."
Whenever there were precious to the extreme natural treasures, they were often accompanied by guardians.
In the vast majority of cases, natural treasures were guarded by beasts.
This was because natural treasures were also beneficial to the cultivation and growth of beasts.
The two belonged to complementing each other!
However, this fire dragon appearing before him was different.
This was not an ordinary beast!
This fire dragon was a kind of creature formed after the surrounding special environment precipitated for thousands of years or even ten thousand years.
It could be said to be born from heaven and earth!
Precisely because of this, this fire dragon had only a soul and no body.
"Master."
"Do we need to pass this level before continuing to dive?"
Yang Fan observed a bit...
This giant dragon was at least thirty meters long.
As for strength...
This was already something his understanding of the Douluo Continent could not evaluate.
"What do you think?"
Cutting off someone's wealth is like killing their parents!
Snatching food from a wild dog's bowl would get you chased for half a day, let alone this massive giant object before our eyes.
Although this giant dragon did not have the intention to attack them yet, Yao Lao did not think this beast would have a good temper.
"Don't worry."
"Judging from this fire dragon's soul state, it should be a young dragon that is not fully developed."
As soon as the voice fell, the fire dragon moved.
A gentle swing of its massive body caused the surrounding magma to become agitated along with it.
Wave after wave of heat slapped Yang Fan, making him very uncomfortable.
Strike first to gain the advantage!
Since he had to face this massive giant object sooner or later, Yang Fan might as well take the initiative to launch an attack.
Heavy Xuan Ruler... Appear!
Under the premise of possessing Yao Lao's power, the Heavy Xuan Ruler was undoubtedly the best weapon for him.
Yang Fan's Dou Qi instantly spread, rapidly pushing the magma surrounding his body outwards, creating space for him to unleash Dou Techniques.
The next second!
Pale white flame surged from the black ruler's body, and a trace of ghostly white floated up in Yang Fan's eyes.
Flame surged on the ruler body, pouncing up like a flood and fierce beast.
"Roar—"
The fire dragon opened its bloody mouth.
A loud dragon song echoed below several thousand meters of the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well.
Violent fire attribute energy mixed in the dragon song swept across, instantly dispersing the Earth Tier Dou Technique Flame Splitting Tsunami released by Yang Fan.
This was... a young dragon?
Yao Lao actually told him this was a young dragon.
After Yao Lao's soul reached the mid-stage of the Soul State, the power he could borrow also increased.
Although he couldn't replicate Yao Lao one hundred percent, at least he could barely be equivalent to Dugu Bo, right.
Yang Fan dared not imagine how terrifying an existence it would be if this young dragon grew into an adult giant dragon.
Just then...
The huge fire dragon charged towards him like lightning.
Yang Fan was stuck in a difficult position below the Ice Fire Yin Yang Well, but that didn't mean the fire dragon was the same.
This beast born from heaven and earth was itself bred by this environment.
The fire dragon opened its giant mouth, seeming as if it wanted to swallow Yang Fan in one bite.
Reacting, Yang Fan's Dou Qi surged, and a powerful aura erupted from within his body.
He stepped on the giant dragon's lower jaw and propped his hands against its upper jaw.
His body at this time was like a steel needle propped inside the dragon's body, forcibly holding the dragon unable to complete the bite on him.
Heavenly Flame, appear!
Yang Fan's will surged, and the five-foot long Bone Chilling Flame instantly shot up.
The status of King of Flames was perfectly displayed at this moment.
Even though the fire dragon was condensed in a fire attribute environment, it could not withstand the violence of the Heavenly Flame.
The icy aura forced the fire dragon to abandon its attack on Yang Fan, and a hint of fear flickered in its vertical pupils.
Crisis averted!
But Yang Fan knew wanting to rely on the Heavenly Flame to kill the fire dragon was absolutely not an easy thing.
Even if it could be slowly exhausted to death, time was not on his side.
Only... use that move!
Yang Fan's Dou Qi operated within his body, Immortal Herb Fire, Blazing Inferno Flame, Bone Chilling Flame.
At this moment, all the flames he could use began to surge within his body.
