After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Lin Yun's gaze flickered, settling on the convergence point where the streams of lava extended.
There lay a vast lava lake, thousands of feet in size. The crimson lava constantly bubbled, its temperature enough to instantly turn a Life Profound Realm expert into ash.
Lin Yun stared at the lava lake, his gaze quickly fixing on the center of the lake.
In the center of the lake, there was a stone coffin.
The stone coffin was entirely crimson, floating tightly on the lava. It looked as if it was cast from a piece of crimson crystal. The stone coffin had no lid, so Lin Yun could see very clearly that there was a person lying inside the stone coffin.
The person had handsome features. Even though his eyes were tightly closed at this moment, there was still a faint trace of majesty between his brows. His fiery red long hair was like flames, burning fiercely.
Lin Yun looked at the man lying in the stone coffin, and the blood in his body couldn't help but boil. He immediately felt a chill in his heart and quickly withdrew his gaze, only then did the boiling sensation in his body subside.
How terrifying. If he were awake, perhaps with just a look, I would have to go all out to resist. But I must take this Flame Master's Flame God Ancient Token. Thinking of this, Lin Yun's gaze firmly looked at the stone coffin within the massive lava formation.
Shaking his head and steadying his mind, his gaze quickly retracted. Let's give it a try, use the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar.
Then, with a flip of his palm, the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar appeared before him.
"Go!"
As his voice fell, Lin Yun activated the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar and sent it floating towards the stone coffin above the lava lake.
A moment later, looking at the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar suspended above the stone coffin, a drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead, but he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
"Hoo."
Lin Yun exhaled nervously, sweat still dripping down his forehead.
Just then, a red light was sucked out of the stone coffin by the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar.
"Whoosh!"
After the red light appeared, Lin Yun also quickly retrieved the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar.
A few breaths later, the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar was suspended before him. Then, with a wave of his hand, the red light inside landed on his hand.
The red light fell, then the light dispersed, transforming into a fiery red token. The token was about the size of a palm, and felt slightly warm to the touch. The token was extremely ancient and had no fancy patterns, but the entire token exuded an undeniable ancient grandeur.
Lin Yun flipped the token over and saw an ancient character on the front of the token.
"Flame!"
Above this character, red light surged, like lava flowing, looking extremely strange.
"Hoo!"
Lin Yun slowly exhaled, and the feeling of tension quickly disappeared.
Unexpectedly, using the Heaven Swallowing Magic Jar could actually suck out the Flame God Ancient Token.
With the Flame God Ancient Token, obtaining the Earth Core Spirit Essence on it will be easy.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun bowed slightly towards the red-haired man in the distance, then turned around and shot out towards the crimson light circle behind him, subsequently disappearing.
As Lin Yun left, this mysterious dark space once again fell into an ancient silence. Suddenly, in the endless darkness, it seemed to tremble slightly, and then the entire space began to shake violently.
"Roar!"
A dark giant palm, ten thousand feet in size, suddenly tore through the darkness and grabbed towards the stone coffin in the lava formation.
"Boom!"
At this moment, the lava formation violently erupted. Towering crimson light surged, quickly flowing onto the black chains below, instantly dyeing the chains red.
The dark giant palm slammed onto the crimson chains, erupting in a towering white mist.
Immediately, a sharp shriek echoed again from the endless darkness. After a struggle, it finally retreated completely and stabilized, looking as if the previous commotion had never happened.
Above the lava lake, the red-haired man in the stone coffin still had his eyes tightly closed, but at this moment, his ten fingers twitched slightly.
But he didn't wake up, only a faint thought floated out. Within that thought, there was a low and hoarse murmur.
"The Flame God Ancient Token was actually sucked away by that strange thing..."
"I didn't expect there to be a devouring force stronger than the Devouring Ancestral Symbol in this world..."
"There are so many unfamiliar things on him, and also quite a few familiar auras. Ice Master... did she pass through reincarnation?"
The low voice slowly echoed in this dark space. After a long while, it dissipated into nothingness, returning to the eternal silence.
On the crimson square, the lava stone pool suddenly rippled, and Lin Yun shot out from it, holding the Flame God Ancient Token and lost in thought.
My strength is still not enough. I must become stronger!
Thinking of this, Lin Yun held the Flame God Ancient Token and reached out towards the Earth Core Spirit Essence.
As he expected, his palm touched the Earth Core Spirit Essence without any obstruction, and then he used his Origin Power to pull it out.
The system's prompt immediately sounded in his mind.
[Quest: Obtain Earth Core Spirit Essence. Reward: One bottle of Earth Core Spirit Pill. Completed. Claim?]
[Quest: Obtain Flame God Ancient Token. Reward: Ten million Xuan Yuan Pills. Completed. Claim?]
"Claim!"
Seeing the claimed rewards, a sharp light also shot out from Lin Yun's eyes.
"I'll break through right here!"
"It should be enough for me to reach Life Profound Realm Completion!"
Thinking this, he immediately sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.
Time quietly passed in tranquility. In the blink of an eye, a month had gone by, and Gu Yan had successfully broken through to the Life Profound Realm.
Opening her eyes, a hint of unconcealed joy appeared on her cold and beautiful face.
"Sister Gu Yan, congratulations." The surrounding Gu Family disciples also clasped their fists in congratulation.
"Has anything happened during this time?" Gu Yan asked the Gu Family disciples.
A red-clothed woman stepped forward and said, "Yes, we received a Nascent Soul message from the Gu Family, but it requires Sister Gu Yan to open it." As she spoke, she took out a blood-colored jade slip.
"Nascent Soul message?" Gu Yan's heart stirred, and she read the information within. Her face quickly turned cold.
"Sister Gu Yan, what's wrong?"
"Brother Yun Tian was severely injured. It must have been the Wei Family who did it," Gu Yan said angrily.
"These despicable fellows! If Brother Yun Tian is severely injured, our Gu Family Martial Gathering will lose a strong competitor. The Wei Family must have done it on purpose!"
"If Brother Yun Tian cannot participate, it will be difficult for our Gu Family Martial Gathering to achieve good results," Gu Yan said with a sigh.
"Sister Gu Yan, each family in the Martial Gathering can invite an external helper. Our Gu Family hasn't invited one yet. We could try asking Lin Yun to help."
Gu Yan's heart moved, then she smiled bitterly, "With his strength, it might not be easy to get him to be our Gu Family's external helper."
"Never mind, let's wait until he comes out and try. Perhaps he'll be interested in the spot in the Desolate Tower."
Hearing Gu Yan's words, the Gu Family disciples also nodded. For now, this was the only option.
