Yuan Ming stood up, emanating a dazzling yellow halo all around him, resembling the first rays of sunrise.
His figure gradually merged with the ground, transforming into a stream of light, swiftly retreating deep underground.
In an instant, he was standing before the towering Pillar Hongjun.
The previously ravaged Pillar Hongjun had regained much of its splendor under the nourishment of the repair array, no longer requiring the full support of Yuan Ming's World Tree.
At this moment, the Heavenly Crane Array operated increasingly smoothly, as if it were the natural rhythm of heaven and earth.
Yuan Ming's gaze was sharp; after a quick survey, he didn't linger.
He once again deployed his Escape Technique, his figure like a fish swimming through the earth, soon arriving above a vast Magma Lake.
On the surface of the lake, the crimson magma rolled continuously, resembling blazing flames, with hot waves rushing against him, accompanied by the suffocating scent of sulfur.
