**

With the soul power of a sixth-tier alchemist, Lin Feng naturally sensed it as well.

A flicker of lightning flashed at his calves as he darted aside with speed, clearing space for Medusa to unleash her Dou Technique.

Seeing him move, Medusa flicked her jade arm, sending a savage, seven-colored whip of flame lashing out violently at the sneak attacker.

A muffled thud echoed through the magma as the crimson creature that had been at Lin Feng’s previous position took a fatal blow from a Dou Zong-level attack.

A shrill, agonized screech erupted from the creature’s mouth, rippling through the magma like water waves.

Medusa, frowning at the piercing sound, swept her jade arm again, and the crimson creature immediately went still and sank beneath the lava.

After carefully probing with his soul power to ensure the surroundings were safe,

Lin Feng finally flared the wings on his back and slowly approached the body of the creature—a fully crimson being whose outer hide perfectly matched the color of the surrounding magma. It resembled a magic beast.

Drawing close, Lin Feng’s gaze fell upon it.

The lizard-like creature was covered in red scales, with a tail nearly half a meter long trailing beneath it.

Its legs were especially wide and powerful, perfectly adapted for swimming in this environment.

Its head was rounded and covered in fine scales.

Its large mouth was slightly agape, revealing rows of densely packed, razor-sharp teeth.

No matter how he looked at it, it resembled a lizard.

”A Dou Huang-level magic beast that can survive in an environment like this? That’s rare indeed,”

Medusa said with surprise as her seductive figure flashed to Lin Feng’s side.

”No… this doesn’t seem like a magic beast.”

Lin Feng, who had read the original text, knew very well—

These creatures were a unique race created by the ancient Tuo She Ancient God, designed to guard the first barrier of the Ancient God Mansion.

As he spoke, Lin Feng’s fingers curled together and Dou Qi wrapped around them, forming a blade-hand.

Like a crashing thunderbolt, he stabbed hard into the creature’s chest.

Since the creature was already dead and only its scale armor remained, it was easy to pierce through and reach into its chest cavity.

His hand rummaged around inside for a moment, and when he pulled it out—

A crimson bead, faintly glowing with heat, lay in his palm.

Oddly, his hand wasn’t stained with any blood—

Only a slick, oily residue clung to it, and nestled within the viscous liquid was the crimson bead, shimmering faintly with blazing energy.

”What is that? It doesn’t look like a magic core,”

Medusa asked curiously as she gazed at the bead in Lin Feng’s hand.

”I don’t know what it’s called either. I can only sense that it contains an incredibly dense and violent fire-attribute energy. But if we can purge the violent nature, this bead could be very beneficial for fire-attribute cultivators.”

Lin Feng studied the crimson bead, then tucked it into his storage ring as he spoke.

No sooner had he finished his sentence than his gaze snapped sharply toward one section of the crimson magma.

From that direction, the magma suddenly began to churn violently.

”Hm… That crimson lizard’s cry… it might be capable of summoning its kin.”

Recalling details from the original story, Lin Feng rubbed his chin and murmured.

”No problem. Since this bead is useful to you, I might as well get you a few more.”

With a casual tone, Medusa formed a colorful longsword in her hand.

Then, unleashing her Dou Technique, she charged straight toward the swarm of Dou Huang-level crimson silhouettes emerging from the lava.

Meanwhile, Lin Feng activated Three Thousand Lightning Movement, darting like a phantom through the battlefield, weaving in and out of the red-scaled lizard pack at Dou Wang-level strength.

While moving, Lin Feng would strike from time to time, and with each attack, another crimson lizard’s life was claimed.

The number of crimson beads in his storage ring was increasing rapidly.

After a while, having already killed dozens of the creatures, Lin Feng gasped for breath and said,

”Sasha, let’s head into the light barrier. These crimson lizards are endless—we’ll never finish them all.”

”Alright.”

Medusa casually slew another Dou Huang-level red lizard, but just then, she sensed several Dou Zong-level crimson lizards rapidly approaching from a certain area of the magma.

Without hesitation, her graceful figure flickered, instantly appearing at Lin Feng’s side.

Seeing her arrive, Lin Feng grabbed her wrist and dove downward toward the translucent barrier.

Medusa quietly followed beside him, flying together toward the glowing screen below.

The moment the two entered the barrier, the oppressive crimson hue of the magma world vanished in an instant.

In its place, a soft, misty white glow enveloped the surroundings.

Even though Lin Feng had already read the original text, he still swept his gaze carefully in all directions to confirm there was no danger.

Only then did his eyes settle upon the center of the space—on the floating skeleton.

Medusa, meanwhile, kept a vigilant watch on the edge of the white barrier, where several Dou Zong-level crimson lizards had just arrived.

When she saw that they were unable to pass through the transparent screen, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

Even for her, facing multiple Dou Zong-level creatures in this environment would be extremely difficult.

Outside the barrier, several blood-red silhouettes continued to circle the area, swimming back and forth restlessly.

Their fierce eyes occasionally fixed upon the point where the two had disappeared behind the light screen, and they let out low, furious growls.

But lacking the ability to use spatial power, they were utterly helpless.

Frustrated, the pack of Dou Huang and Dou Wang-level crimson lizards eventually turned and retreated.

Lin Feng’s gaze lingered on the mysterious skeleton for a few moments, then inevitably shifted toward the formless flame hovering above the bones.

This Fallen Heart Flame was only about the size of a human head.

Compared to the one they had seen earlier outside—the fully matured form—this one emitted far less heat.

Of course, ”weaker” was only relative to the mature flame.

After all, whether in its infancy or full maturity, forming a Heavenly Flame was a tremendously difficult process.

Every single Heavenly Flame was the product of countless years of accumulation and transformation.

Even though this one appeared small, it had undoubtedly existed for a very long time.

The temperature it radiated was still enough to make Lin Feng wary.

His gaze once again locked onto the faintly glowing skeleton as he called out:

”Senior, since you’ve brought the two of us here, why not show yourself?”

Behind him, Medusa’s fair cheeks instantly flushed red upon hearing those words.

Even though they had long since done what married couples do, hearing him refer to them as ”husband and wife” so bluntly still made this normally cold and aloof Queen of the Snake-People a little shy.

As Lin Feng’s voice echoed through the small space again and again,

Suddenly, a brilliant white light burst forth from within the skeleton.
