Chapter 183 - The Heart of the Volcano
-------------------
This demon beast was not very big. Its body was fiery red color, as if it was built by pouring liquid metal with a very high heat.
Shi Yan had just communicated with the Ice Cold Flame, and he immediately realized that a demon beast came out of nowhere. When he saw that demon beast, there were only two meters between them. There was a bright red horn on the head of the demon beast, it sparked with firelight, as it pierced towards him.
Shi Yan was slightly surprised. Without thinking much, he swung the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand, and slashed towards it.
Under the heavy blow, the body of the demon beast was slashed and it went backed for five or six meters. They cannot step onto flat ground inside the lava, so Shi Yan was also blown back for several meters from the force.
“Fire Horn Beast, level four demon beast. It lives by consuming the fire rocks inside lava, Its horn is very hard, it’s a high quality material for making weapons of the fire element. When making this Dragon Slaying Sword, the horn of the Fire Horn Beast was used. The attack of the Fire Horn Beast, is also mainly depended on its only horn, it’s very easy to fight against.”
The Ice Cold Flame’s message came from inside the Blood Vein Ring.
After getting the message of the Ice Cold Flame, Shi Yan lifted the Dragon Slaying Sword and coldly glared at the Fire Horn Beast. He suddenly concentrated his mind power, and wisps of deep cold spirit plus the mind power formed into a shockwave, that shot straight towards the soul of the Fire Horn Beast.
Level four Fire Horn Beasts have no defense on their soul. Under the impact of of the soul attack from Shi Yan, it immediately got heavily injured, and escaped in panic.
Inside the mind power of Shi Yan, there was some cold energy that came with it. Inside this lava pool, against the living souls of fire element creatures, it had an obvious restraining power on them.
After being hit once by his soul attack, the Fire Horn Beast’s soul was badly hurt, and it didn’t dare to come near him anymore.
The more deep one went into the lava pool, the more spacious it became. Once the Fire Horn Beast escaped, it immediately left no trace behind.
Although the horn of level four Fire Horn Beasts were quite decent forging material, but Shi Yan paid no attention to it. With the extraordinary status of the Yang family in the Kyara Sea, the piles of cultivation material on Immortal Island had whatever he needed. It had a lot of materials that were more precious than the horn of the Fire Horn Beast. Naturally Shi Yan couldn’t bother to chase the Fire Horn Beast.
“You are still very far from the earth core of the ten thousand year-old volcano. The more you go down, the higher the temperature of the lava will be. If there really exists special life forces down there, then it will definitely be much more powerful than the Fire Horn Beast. Inside the earth's core, if there are life forces other than the Core Fire, then we will have to leave immediately. If there are really things that can survive next to the Core Fire, then it will definitely be very frightening. No matter what, it’s not something you can handle.”
“If I can’t handle it, what about you?”
“If you can release me from the ring, then I can freeze this entire ten thousand year-old volcano. No matter what is in the earth’s core, I won’t be scared. But if you get killed, and I am sealed by this stupid ring. Left in the earth’s core of this ten thousand year-old volcano, I might not be able to resurface the earth again for another few thousand years.”
Shi Yan didn’t answer, he just frowned and continued to sink deep into the lava.
With the Ice Cold Flame’s reminder, Shi Yan became more careful. He released his mind power, and the mind power that contained the presence of the Ice Cold Flame spread out from him, as it showed deep intention of warnings.
He sank all the way down in the lava pool; Shi Yan used his mind power, and it actually did sense a few living consciousnesses that were not so weak.
Those living consciousnesses were all of the fire element. Shi Yan’s mind power peeped at them, and he realized that those life consciousnesses were all like clusters of fire.
With the icy cold energy that went along with his mind power, those life consciousnesses didn’t dare to get near him. They all went far out of their way to avoided him.
A few life consciousnesses among them, from Shi Yan’s view, seemed to be comparable to the soul strength of Nirvana realm warriors.
“Kid you’re pretty smart, you used my cold energy to warn those guys.” The Ice Cold Flame sent out a message from inside the Blood Vein Ring again: “Cold energy from me, contains my presence. I am the natural nemesis of those life forces! The guys that live down here are much smarter than that Fire Horn Beast. They felt the presence of their nemesis, so naturally they ran fast.”
Shi Yan didn’t bother with it. He continued to release his mind power. He carefully and cautiously spread it out, while being alert of any life consciousness that might suddenly pop up.
Through the use of mind power for this while, he paid more and more attention to the pure soul power inside the Soul Gathering Pearl.
Mind power has special uses in some special areas.
Like this time.
If he didn’t have the Ice Cold Flame’s mind power along with him, he might have had to waste much more effort to battle with the creatures that surrounded him. He would need to block against a wave of their attacks first, in order for them to understand the existence of the Ice Cold Flame, to make them quit.
Some strong creatures could suddenly appear inside the lava pool. If they were really to uncontrollably bombard him, then maybe he won’t even be able to hold against one wave of attacks. If he were to be killed directly, then there would be no way for those guys to realize the existence of the Ice Cold Flame.
If he could use the soul power inside the Soul Gathering Pearl to evolve and refine his soul, and form a Sea of Consciousness inside his mind, and have a soul consciousness, then his power would step into an entire new level!
Using the Sea of Consciousness and Soul Consciousness that exceed his level, when in a battle, he would dominate, and the warriors of the same level would play in the palm of his hands.
Thinking about it that way, Shi Yan’s eyes brightened a little bit more.
The Ice Cold Flame really didn’t seem to be bragging. It seemed to be the true nemesis of the fire element life forces here. When Shi Yan’s spreaded out his mind power that brought its presence, the many kinds of fire live forms that Shi Yan could sense, all avoided him, and hid on their own. They didn’t want to get near him at all.
After god knows how long.
Suddenly, the Ice Cold Flame sent its consciousness again: “Be careful now, you are almost at the earth’s core of the volcano! Stop first, and we can both sense our surroundings, to see if there are life forces down there. If there is a life that exists, then you and I will leave immediately, and give up on this mission.”
“Alright.”
Shi Yan controlled his body, and used Profound Qi to form into two little swirls under his feet, making his body stay in place.
Releasing his mind power, he slowly reached towards the bottom of the lava pool…
Fifty meters, a hundred meters, two hundred meters…
