In order to deal with the powerful fire beast that he might encounter next, Lin Mo decided to use an ice-cold technique to weaken the fire attribute here. He sat down to meditate, mobilized all his magic power, turned his palms over, and a dry blue light shot out, overwhelmingly covering the entire cave.
The sound of ice cracking was heard, and the originally fiery cave was instantly covered by solidified ice crystals, exuding a cold air. Lin Mo cast another spell to lay out the Tiangang Beidou Formation on the ice, strengthening the aura of the ice.
As a result, any fire attribute creature entering this place will be greatly compromised. Lin Mo put away his spell and stood up to admire his transformed environment.
The Taiyin Firebird landed next to Lin Mo, his eyes showing a hint of exhaustion, but still showing determination. Its chirping echoed through Hell, attracting the attention of the fire spirits in the surrounding volcano canyon.
The fire spirit is a ferocious fire-attribute monster with fiery energy. They are attracted to it, with excitement and greed in their eyes. However, as soon as they got close, they were frightened by the pressure of the Taiyin Firebird, and they all retreated.
The Taiyin Firebird chirped, and there was a certain order in the sound. The fire spirits were arranged together obediently, as if waiting for the Taiyin Firebird's order. Lin Mo looked at this scene in surprise.
Accompanied by the Taiyin Fire Bird, Lin Mo continued to move towards the depths of the Hell. As they went deeper, the temperature in the volcanic wasteland became hotter and hotter, as if it was about to melt everything.
In the crater ahead, Lin Mo discovered a flat area where the terrain was slightly gentle and seemed to be the key area to enter the extinct volcano. He stopped, looked around, and then smiled.
Next, what he will face is the heart of earth fire at the core of the volcano. It will definitely not be as simple as an ordinary fire beast. But with this preparation, Lin Mo also has an extra chance of winning.
Lin Mo took the Lunar Firebird to the center of the frozen cave. There was a huge gap that led directly to the depths of the ground. This was the entrance to the underground fire. Lin Mo's face was solemn, he knew that the fire attribute threat he would encounter next would be extremely dangerous.
Looking down, I could vaguely see the deep darkness below, with blazing fire erupting from time to time.
"Taiyin Firebird, let's arrange a magic circle and altar here to protect our safety." Lin Mo said to Taiyin Firebird. He has planned to leave a mark here for subsequent use. .
The Lunar Firebird nodded and spread its wings to fly. Its feathers exuded silvery white light, like twinkling stars.
Lin Mo started to take action. He took out a bronze staff from the storage ring and waved it in front of him. The head of the staff shot out countless rays of golden light, and soon drew a huge Bagua in the sky above the entrance of the cave. totem.
After a while, a complex magic circle gradually appeared on the ground. The runes in the magic circle emitted a faint light, which complemented the silver-white light of the Lunar Firebird. Lin Mo carefully adjusted the position of each rune, striving to maximize the power of the magic circle.
Lin Mo continued to take out some magic weapons and placed them at the totem nodes, and used blood to draw incantations to connect them. For a moment, the magic power fluctuated strongly, and the Bagua Totem emitted a dazzling light.
Lin Mo took a deep breath, used all his strength, and suddenly slapped the center of the totem. Just hearing a loud rumbling sound, the Bagua Totem turned into mana light pillars and soared into the sky, and soon gathered into a huge blue light ball over the entrance of the cave.
The light ball emits powerful energy fluctuations, completely covering the entire cave entrance. Lin Mo withdrew his staff and looked at the light net he had set up, with joy in his eyes - this move would definitely make it difficult for the fire demons outside to break in easily.
After arranging the light network blockade, Lin Mo took a deep breath and prepared to enter the central area of the cave.
The Taiyin Firebird flew back to Lin Mo's shoulder, raising its head proudly, as if to declare its existence. Lin Mo smiled, stroked its feathers, and felt the powerful energy radiating from its body.
"Taiyin Firebird, I need your help next." Lin Mo said to Taiyin Firebird, pointing to a huge pillar of fire in the crater. This pillar of fire towers into the clouds, shining with blazing light, and seems to be a natural barrier in Hell.
The Lunar Firebird understood Lin Mo's intention. It spread its wings and flew up. Under the silver-white light, the entire crater looked particularly bright. Its eyes sparkled with the flame of wisdom and began to gather energy.
The pillar of fire burned violently, and its temperature was enough to melt everything. The Taiyin Firebird was obviously not afraid, as powerful cold air and flame energy surged in its body. It flapped its wings and flew, condensing a ball of silver-white flames, which violently collided with the fire pillar.
The pillar of fire met with the silver-white flame, making bursts of roaring sounds. The energy of the Lunar Firebird began to suppress the fire pillar, causing its burning to gradually weaken. The pillar of fire trembled continuously, as if fighting to stay alive.
When Lin Mo saw this, he was no longer idle. He activated his fire attribute spell to stabilize the energy around the fire pillar. He and the Taiyin Fire Bird formed a tacit cooperation, and through the coordination of the offensive and defensive sides, they gradually suppressed the burning of the fire pillar.
Time passed, and after continuous efforts, the Lunar Firebird finally suppressed the burning of the fire pillar to a relatively safe level. The fire pillar no longer roared, but burned steadily, and the surrounding temperature began to gradually decrease.
"Well done, Taiyin Firebird." Lin Mo patted the Taiyin Firebird's feathers encouragingly. The Taiyin Firebird flapped its wings and flew away, as if to express its satisfaction.
With the assistance of the Taiyin Fire Bird, Lin Mo successfully restrained the pillar of fire and created a path for himself to go deeper.
Next, he decided to make some preparations in this relatively safe place. He stood in front of the altar, staring at the environment of the crater, with a determined light shining in his eyes.
"The time has come." Lin Mo muttered to himself, he spread his palms, and a ball of blue flame appeared in his palms. This blue flame seems to contain the power of ice, making people feel a chill from a distance.
He activated the dry blue ice flame spell, and the blue flame began to spread, quickly covering the entire altar. Following his gesture, the blue flame turned into a complex pattern, which was a huge magic circle.
Lin Mo completed the outline of each rune skillfully, and his mind was completely devoted to it. The magic circle began to emit a faint light, getting brighter and brighter, while the surrounding temperature gradually dropped.
After a while, the entire magic circle appeared in front of Lin Mo's eyes, and blue flames flowed in the pattern, as if it came alive.
He stood in the magic circle, staring at the runes of the magic circle, feeling the cold power conveyed by the blue flames. Following his urging, the magic circle began to activate.
A huge blue light pillar suddenly rose from the magic circle and shot straight into the sky. The light beam penetrated the thick fire mist and illuminated the entire crater. The surrounding flames seemed to become smaller in front of this blue light. The blue light beam was cone-shaped and enveloped the entire crater. The coercion it exudes makes people afraid to approach, and even the fire evil spirits appear extremely small in front of this light pillar.
Lin Mo stood in the beam of light, feeling the power of this powerful spell, and emotions surged in his heart. This blue beam of light represents his strength and his confidence to face the various challenges in Hell.
The blue light beam enveloped the entire crater. Lin Mo felt the power contained in the magic circle. He knew that now was the time to enter the giant magic circle and continue to explore the depths of Hell.
Lin Mo sorted out the rings, amulets and other magic weapons, then quickly walked into the light net and jumped directly from the entrance of the cave. There was a flash of light all around, and Lin Mo's figure immediately disappeared into the cave.
Below is the abyss leading to the earthly fire, and in front of you can faintly see the light of fire rising into the sky. Lin Mo was fully focused, preparing to deal with any threats he might encounter next.
The Heart of Earth Fire is right in front of him, and the purpose of his trip will be achieved. As long as he can obtain the Sun Essence Fire and go back to refine the Yang Water, his lifespan and cultivation level can be greatly increased.
He looked at the human puppet on the altar, smiled and nodded. The silver light on the puppet flickered, and it stood there steadily, waiting for Lin Mo's instructions.
“Let’s go.” Lin Mo said to the puppet, and he stepped into the blue light pillar. Under the light pillar, he felt a strong gravitational pull, as if he was being pulled forward by a pair of invisible hands.
To ensure safety, Lin Mo decided to enter the Xutian Cauldron and explore again. He flicked his sleeves, and a small blue cauldron flew out. After a few waves in the air, the cauldron suddenly expanded dozens of times and floated steadily above the crypt.
Lin Mo then summoned several magic weapons and arranged them around the tripod. He took out another psychic white jade beast and placed it in the cauldron. Just hearing a dragon roar in the cauldron, a huge humanoid puppet jumped out of the cauldron and stood on the lid of the cauldron.
"Okay, that's almost it." Lin Mo murmured to himself, and released twelve more six-winged frost centipedes. They flew around the cauldron and the puppet, exuding an icy aura.
After Lin Mo checked and confirmed that there was no problem with the magic circle, he took a deep breath and stepped into the cauldron. A flash of silver light flashed, the lid of the cauldron was closed, and Lin Mo's figure immediately disappeared from the cauldron.
Then, the person and the cauldron disappeared into the giant magic circle and appeared in a completely different environment. He was in the red lava, the fire was blazing and the temperature rose sharply.
His face was solemn, and a protective layer of purple fire flashed around his body, barely resisting the scorching temperature.
In the cauldron, you can feel the blood red outside. This place is actually a cave made of liquid lava, surrounded by flames and extremely hot. Lin Mo hurriedly used the Purple Fire Technique, covering his whole body with a thin film of purple fire light to resist the high temperature outside.
"This is the true depth of Hell, and the sun's essence fire must be nearby." Lin Mo was determined, and he began to lay out his tactics. He also released the Taiyin Fire Bird and the Fire Dragon Pillar, which were located on his left and right respectively.
Lin Mo stabilized his body and set up a magic circle above the lava. The Taiyin Firebird was released by him and immediately emitted the power of ice, forming a ball of ice and fire to wrap around Lin Mo.
Then Lin Mo summoned several high-level fire dragon pillars, inserted them into the lava lake, and quickly gathered firepower to form a protective net. Lin Mo stood in the ball of ice and fire, watching the lava rolling around him, and secretly sighed in his heart: No wonder Master Hanli chose to give up after he came in. The environment was too harsh.
But he is here to seize the sun's essence fire, and he must not back down lightly. Lin Mo took a deep breath, ordered the Fire Bird and the Pillar Spirit to defend with all their strength, and then slowly flew towards the depths of the lava lake with the ice and fire ball. The journey to pursue the essence of the sun has just begun.
After floating in the lava lake for a while, Lin Mo still couldn't find any trace of the Sun Essence Fire. He took the Lunar Firebird to a rock wall, which was covered with volcanic rock patterns.
"I remember that the Sun Spirit Fire likes to live on rock walls like this. Let's search carefully." Lin Mo said to the Fire Bird.
So they began to carefully examine every crack and cave in the rock wall, hoping to find the figure of the Sun Jinghuo.
However, after two days of searching, little was achieved. Lin Mo took the Fire Bird to other rock walls, but a month later, he did not find any clues about the Sun Essence Fire, not even a faint breath.
Lin Mo began to feel anxious. It was said that the Sun Essence Fire was active in this area, but they didn't even see it, which was a bit abnormal. Could it be that when Master Hanli entered, he frightened Taiyang Jinghuo away? If Jinghuo had already left, then Lin Mo's trip would have been in vain.
"If you search for a while and still don't find it, you can only think of another way." Lin Mo said to Firebird. Firebird responded and continued searching with Lin Mo.
When Lin Mo and Taiyin Firebird glanced at the rock wall again, Lin Mo suddenly saw a flash of silver light. His eyes lit up, and he knew that silver light all too well - it was the essence of the sun!
Lin Mo hurriedly chased after him, and saw a small silver horse jumping out from behind the rock. The light shone in all directions and flew straight towards the lunar firebird. The pony was so fast that it directly surpassed the firebird and jumped in front of it.
“Be careful!” Lin Mo shouted as a reminder. The firebird flapped its wings desperately, but was already cornered by the pony. Just when Lin Mo was about to help, Pony suddenly turned around, rushed into another cave like lightning, and disappeared in an instant.
Lin Mo frowned. Sun Jinghuo was indeed extremely alert. He could not act rashly, otherwise he would alert the enemy. "We'll wait for it to show up again, and then try to lure it to the bait." Lin Mo whispered to the firebird.
The sun's essence fire is right in front of him, he must hold steady and wait for the time to mature before taking action.
After a while, the silver horse transformed by the sun's essence fire suddenly jumped out from the other side.
The speed of the Sun Essence Fire is extremely fast, almost like a silver lightning, while the Lunar Firebird keeps vibrating its wings in the air, trying to catch up. However, not even the Lunar Fire Bird can match the speed of the Sun Essence Fire.
Lin Mo did not dare to act rashly, he knew that the sun's essence fire would not be easy. This is a critical moment, and every decision he makes may affect the final outcome. He decided to wait and see what happened, not to interfere for the time being, but to pay attention to the battle between the Lunar Fire Bird and the Sun Essence Fire.
Seeing that Yang Jinghuo was clever and difficult to deal with, Lin Mo decided to change his strategy. He took out a crystal clear ball, which was a snow crystal bead that combined the dual attributes of ice and fire. (End of this chapter)
