“Haha…”
Lin Yun took out a few mana crystals from his pocket and handed them to Shawn . The latter was perfectly content and returned to the Soul Walker . Lin Yun then took out a potion, crouched down, and poured it into Yass’ mouth . “Take us there . ”
“Yes, yes…” Yass nodded like a scared child .
His complexion gradually improved after drinking the potion and more than half of his injuries had recovered .
Yass stood up, but when he looked at Lin Yun, fear could be seen deep within his eyes . These past few minutes had been like a trip to hell . That pain was more terrifying than any torture, and just thinking about it made him shake .
His situation was already hopeless since the Thawing Fire Tribe had already been destroyed . He might be killed anytime, anywhere, but Yass didn’t want to experience this kind of pain anymore .
If he could, he would rather choose death over going through it again .
Moreover, the Thawing Fire Tribe no longer existed, so there was no sense in hiding information concerning the Tribal Chief .
As he justified his actions, Yass’ psychological burden alleviated quite a bit . After leaving the tent, he took the lead and guided the troops to a rugged path . After over half an hour, he stopped as they reached the so-called Sacred Land .
“It’s here,” the cowering Yass said before Lin Yun could even ask .
“Here?”
To be more accurate, there was a valley in front of them . Just from standing at the entrance, they could all feel the terrible temperature within . Those High Mages were all covered in sweat just from standing there…
And this was only the entrance .

Perhaps only Archmages could go inside and withstand such a high temperature .
Lin Yun and Weiss quickly discussed for a bit and decided to leave all their High Mages outside the valley and only send the Archmage powerhouses inside to explore .
In the end, the group was reduced to a dozen people…
“Let’s go…” Once they were ready, Lin Yun looked at Yass and indifferently told him, “Lead the way . ”
“What…”
Yass was suddenly terrified, completely pale . He really didn’t want to enter the Sacred Land, but refusing the young mage was worse than death . He struggled for a bit before forcing himself to nod and entering the valley with the dozen Archmage powerhouses .
“Ah!”
But Yass stopped just as he entered the valley . His expression greatly changed as he issued a mournful scream . His entire body shivered and the dark red runes on his body looked alive as they burst out with dazzling red light . His entire body glowed red and let off an immense amount of heat, which was followed by black gas coming out of Yass’ ears, nose, and mouth .
“What is this…?”
The sudden, unforeseen event stunned everyone in the group . They were scared by this strange scene, and they didn’t dare to believe their own eyes . They were all very powerful, but they hadn’t noticed anything . There had been no fluctuations, but just as Yass entered the valley, he inexplicably started burning .
“Sure enough, I would be punished for leading outsiders to the Sacred Land…” Yass let out a mournful roar, his voice filled with dread and remorse . As he spoke, flames escaped from his mouth, and that fire quickly spread to the rest of his body .
After a few short seconds, Yass turned to ashes . That strange flame noiselessly stopped burning, as if it had never appeared in the first place .
The surroundings were completely silent, and everyone looked at the scene in shock . Although Yass wasn’t particularly powerful, he still had the power of a 1st Rank Archmage . Yet, the flames that appeared directly took his life .

They couldn’t help feeling a chill run down their spines and getting cold feet . Their eyes were filled with shock, as they couldn’t believe that Yass, who had seemed alright just moments ago, would suddenly be turned to ashes . At this time, they were all filled with worry .
Even Lin Yun frowned .
“Don’t waste time here, let’s go find the Tribal Chief in the Sacred Land…” The pale Weiss clenched his teeth . Even if there was something strange about the Sacred Land, he wouldn’t easily give up . They had already come this far, and the Black Tower had invested too much into it . Even if Sir Harren wanted to give up on the Magic Tool, he still wouldn’t agree .
The group of Archmages slowly and carefully walked into the valley . It was filled with flames, and even the rocks under their feet were scalding . There were some exotic trees that actually grew in the fire with formidable vitality .
This was a world of flames, flames could be seen everywhere .
‘Eh?’
When he entered the valley, Lin Yun could clearly feel that this place’s fire elements were so frightening that they almost turned into essence . In all of Noscent and the countless planes, there might not be another place comparable to this area . Lin Yun estimated that fire spells would be greatly boosted here, and any of them would be promoted in power by two tiers .
For example, if he let out a Fire Dragon Spell here, it would burst out with power comparable to a 7th Tier Spell, even closer to 8th .
Although the people entering the valley had the power of Archmages, the high temperature was still making everyone frown .
If a High Mage had entered, he might already have ended up on the verge of death, or just died outright .
This was an extremely dangerous place .
Everyone was very cautious, and they relied on their instincts to slowly move further towards the depths . Blazing Flame Snakes kept attacking them, but at that time, the earth under their feet suddenly shook . The scalding rocks were silently collapsing as a terrifying aura suddenly rose up .
“Rumble…”

Following that deafening sound, a huge pitch-black fissure split the earth open, and extremely hot dark-red lava erupted from it, splattering the surroundings…
“Careful!”
Weiss let out a warning shout, reminding everyone . But he was too late . Some of the lava splashed at a 2nd Rank Archmage from the Black Tower who was close to the fissure, and he didn’t have time to evade it . He was terrified and the magic staff in his hands let out a dazzling radiance as he cast an Elemental Shield .
Just as that Archmage was about to sigh in relief, he heard a sizzling sound…
The lava splashing onto the Elemental Shield hadn’t disappeared, but instead slowly melted the Elemental Shield . As the sizzling sound intensified, the Elemental Shield let out dark green smoke . It was shockingly dissolving at a visible speed .
Just as the Elemental Shield was about to be broken through, a pitch-black palm suddenly swept over and pulled the Archmage away .
A flame rose up, unveiling an incomparably huge silhouette . This was a Lava Giant that was several hundred meters tall .
Its body was emitting a blazing aura and leaking dark-red lava all over . Whenever it moved, lava would splatter around .
Everyone looked in disbelief…
The one attacking them was actually a Lava Giant!
Lava Giants weren’t an issue, but the one before their eyes was too powerful! The lava it had just splashed out almost killed a 2nd Rank Archmage .
This was why they were in disbelief…
Most of these Archmages had remained in the Raging Flame Plane for a long time and had participated in all kinds of battles, so they weren’t unfamiliar with Lava Giants .
Lava Giants were already considered Upper Rank Elemental lifeforms . They would often appear battles and the ones typically summoned by the Raging Flame Beastmen, although powerful, weren’t able to threaten an Archmage . Usually, their strength was roughly comparable to that of a High Mage .
But the Lava Giant before their eyes far surpassed the High Mage realm…
What was going on?
Whatever the case, they didn’t have time to think about this . Following that deafening roar, the lava covered the sky, falling down like rain .
That lava was frighteningly powerful . Even the Elemental Shield of a 2nd Rank Archmage couldn’t resist it .
“Damnit, this is only a Lava Giant, how could it be so strong? It’s at least level 35 . ” Suval cursed . He placed his unadorned magic staff horizontally in front of his chest and started chanting a long and profound incantation .
At this time, an astonishing mana fluctuation rose up…
A bone-chilling aura spread and condensed into a large amount of ice in the air . The swaying Flame Snakes all dimmed quite a bit as the sky turned white . Cracking sounds echoed as the sky froze above their heads .
This was a 7th Tier spell used by powerful Archmages, Ice Barrier!
