Chapter 33: Into the Depths of the Magma

After a day and a night.

The Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Snake had finally submitted.

Its already weak aura had now become almost lifeless.

If it weren't for half of its body submerged in the magma, it might have already perished.

Its four snake eyes stared at the two small humans in front of it, filled with fear, submission, and a desperate attempt to appease…

A whole day and night! These two despicable humans had tormented it for a full day and night!

Who could understand? A snake can be killed but not humiliated.

I would rather die! "Drop your soul defenses and let me plant a restriction," Wei Yang lightly kicked it.

The Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Snake's body trembled.

Then, obediently, it followed his instructions, allowing Wei Yang to plant a restriction deep in its soul.

Whenever Wei Yang desired, with just a thought, he could ignite the restriction and take its life instantly.

Yexian'er, standing nearby, also waved her hand, injecting a gray-white Dou Qi into its body, embedding it in its heart.

The two of them had imposed both physical and spiritual constraints on it.

Wei Yang finally felt at ease.

They had to be cautious, as they planned to venture deep into the magma with it. Any mishap could be disastrous.

"Go into the magma and recover."

Wei Yang grabbed the snake and tossed it into the magma below.

In its current weakened state, it was incapable of leading the way, so it needed to recover first.

"Xian'er, you should start as well, absorb the fire poison and convert your Dou Qi."

"Okay."

Thus, the two of them began cultivating on the temporary platform.

Half a month later.

Boom! A somewhat delicate gray-white palm imprint struck the magma lake, sending waves of magma splashing.

Not far away, soaking quietly in the magma, the Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Snake, which had recovered considerably, retracted its head and swam further away.

This tiny human woman seemed to have grown stronger.

Yexian'er waved her hand, shooting gray-white spinning energies from her fingertips, which landed on the magma, creating splashes.

Fiery Thorn! She seemed quite enthusiastic, continually experimenting with her new fire poison Dou Qi.

"Finished converting your Dou Qi?" Wei Yang, who had recently broken through to Two-Star Dou Ling, opened his eyes and looked at Yexian'er.

"Yes." Yexian'er nodded excitedly, gray-white Dou Qi flickering in her palms.

It looked like two gray-white flames were dancing and burning in her hands.

If this gray-white Dou Qi had previously given off a sinister feeling, it now exuded a scorching heat.

"How does it feel?" Wei Yang asked with concern.

He sensed that although she was still at the One-Star Da Dou Shi level, her entire aura had completely changed, now radiating heat.

"Hmm… it feels great," Yexian'er tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Earlier, staying here felt oppressive. But now, that feeling is gone. It feels comfortable, like soaking in a hot bath."

"That's good," Wei Yang felt relieved.

This indicated that her Dou Qi had successfully transformed into fire poison attributes by absorbing the fire poison.

Initially, it was just a hypothesis; he couldn't guarantee success without trying.

Now, this success validated his theory, and Yexian'er had achieved it.

In the future, her Flame-Resistant Venomous Body would become even more terrifying.

"Well done," Wei Yang nodded with a smile.

Hearing Wei Yang's praise, Yexian'er looked satisfied, "From now on, I'll have fire attributes just like you, Brother Yang. No matter where you go, I won't hold you back."

"Silly girl," Wei Yang rubbed her head.

Two days later, after Yexian'er had fully adapted to her new Dou Qi.

"It's about time."

Wei Yang stood up and called out to the Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Snake soaking in the magma, "Come here, it's time to work."

At Wei Yang's call, the Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Snake raised its heads, its tail swaying as it slowly swam over.

After this period of rest and recovery, the snake's injuries seemed almost healed, at least on the surface. Its spirit and aura were still slightly weak, but it had recovered significantly.

As a creature raised in magma, its recovery in this environment was swift.

Although Wei Yang had heavily injured it, since he also possessed fire attributes and was only at the Dou Ling level, the Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Snake had not sustained foundational damage.

Therefore, its recovery wasn't too troublesome, and it seemed likely that in a few months, it would fully recover.

"Take us to find the Heavenly Flame. I know you understand what I'm saying, and I know you know where it is."

Wei Yang stared into its eyes, saying, "Don't play any tricks. We might be fine, but you will surely suffer a fate worse than death!"

The Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Snake's eyes showed a hint of submission, and both heads nodded.

Seeing its compliance, Wei Yang's expression softened, and he spoke kindly, "I'm not heartless. Help us obtain the Heavenly Flame, and we will grant you freedom when we leave."

The snake's eyes flashed with a hint of anticipation, and it nodded again.

Wei Yang smiled, picked up Yexian'er, and leaped onto one of its heads, sitting down.

Dou Qi enveloped them, forming a protective shield. Wei Yang patted the snake's head and instructed, "Let's go."

Hiss~ The Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Snake hissed and then dived into the magma with the two of them on its back.

In the fiery world of magma.

As they delved deeper, Wei Yang and Yexian'er felt the surrounding temperature grow increasingly intense.

Looking around, all they could see was a sea of red, as if they had entered another world.

A world of scorching magma.

Dark currents surged, occasionally erupting violently from some places.

These currents contained immense energy, and even a Da Dou Shi could be gravely injured or killed if struck.

Fortunately, the Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Snake was very familiar with this place, skillfully avoiding the currents each time.

Having grown up here, it knew the terrain well and always found the safest route.

Sitting on the snake, Wei Yang and Yexian'er were much relieved, needing only to fend off the intense heat.

Of course, Wei Yang never fully trusted it, constantly keeping part of his mind focused on its every move.

Additionally, his powerful soul senses remained vigilant, ready to react to any threat.

The surroundings were eerily silent.

In this fiery world, besides the Twin-Headed Flame Spirit Snake, no other creatures seemed to inhabit this harsh environment.

This was understandable, as the living conditions here were extremely harsh, suitable only for such uniquely gifted beings.

As they descended deeper, toward the seemingly endless bottom of the magma, Wei Yang, despite his Dou Ling cultivation, could feel the rising external temperature.

Moreover, the deeper they went, the more immense the consumption of Dou Qi.
