Chapter 588: Flame Master

The interlacing lava rivers were not ordinary magma; they formed a huge array that was indescribably large. The total area of this formation was likely around over thirty-three thousand meters.

If a strong Profound Death practitioner fell into it, they would definitely meet their doom. Even Samsara Stage practitioners like Ying Xuanzi and Tian Yuanzi would find themselves in an extremely difficult position within it.

Xiao Ming's gaze flickered as his eyes followed the complex network of magma rivers stretching into the distance. After a brief exploration, he found that these giant magma rivers flowing through this dark space eventually converged at one point.

The point of convergence was a large magma lake. Bubbles were continuously emitted from the scarlet red magma. The temperature of the lake was enough to instantly turn a Profound Life stage practitioner into ash.

At the center of this lake, he spotted an object. It was a stone coffin.

The stone coffin was entirely scarlet red and floated silently on the surface of the magma lake. It looked like it was made of a single piece of scarlet crystal. The stone coffin did not have a lid, so it was possible to see what was inside of it.

Inside, there seemed to be a person.

Illuminated by the light emitted from the magma, it was barely possible to discern the figure of a tall man with a slender body. The man had handsome features, and even though his eyes were tightly shut, there was still a hint of majesty between his brows. His long fiery red hair seemed to burn like fire.

'Flame Master...'

Xiao Ming narrowed his eyes as he observed the man in the stone coffin. This Flame Master seemed to have a liking for his first disciple or, more precisely, the Ice Master.

Rumble

Suddenly, there was a slight tremor in the endless darkness. It was followed by a deep sound of iron chains clanking. Soon after, the entire domain seemed to tremble in a violent manner.

Roar!

Suddenly, a piercing, soul-crushing screech echoed from the depths of the darkness. After that, the sound of the chains grew louder. The black darkness could be seen shaking wildly as a gigantic dark hand, about three thousand meters in size, tore through the darkness and grabbed at the stone coffin at the center of the magma formation.

"My name is Xiao Ming."

Xiao Ming released a trace of his aura as he spoke. The fleeting yet powerful aura caused the Flame Master's composure to falter.

"Ancestor Stage?!"

"Don't worry, I have no ill intentions," Xiao Ming reassured with a wave of his hand.

The Flame Master's eyebrows were tightly furrowed, not looking good.

"You've seen what just happened. This domain only contains members of the Yimo Tribe. The one who appeared earlier is the Cosmic Evil Devil King of the Yimo Tribe. There's nothing else here."

"I'm actually here for it."

The Flame Master's brow furrowed even deeper after hearing Xiao Ming's words. Then he spoke tentatively, "That fellow is the mount of the Yimo Emperor and ranked among the top three in the Yimo Tribe. Capturing it cost us many strong practitioners.

It has been suppressed in this Devil Suppressing Prison for many years, yet it has not been eroded by the formation. On the contrary, its strength seems to have grown even stronger than before it was sealed. You must be aware of the Yimo's strong life force and eroding nature. What do you need it for?"

This Cosmic Evil Devil King was a powerhouse extremely close to the Ancestor Stage. If it were placed on the Dou Qi Continent, it would be at least at the Half-Dou God stage. Such a powerful existence was still a challenge to deal with even if it was sealed, especially since it was a member of the Yimo Tribe, which was known for its tenacious and difficult to handle life force. The Flame Master's caution was well-founded.

"Since you already know my strength, why worry?" Xiao Ming did not go into too much detail, as his intentions were not exactly laudable.

The Flame Master's gaze shifted but he made no move, becoming more vigilant instead.

Xiao Ming was somewhat speechless when he saw his reaction. With his strength, it wouldn't be too difficult to forcibly take away the Cosmic Evil Devil King. However, if the Flame Master desperately resisted and there was a single mistake on his part as a result, the situation could become somewhat tricky.

"Desolation, why don't you come out and have a chat with your old friend?" Xiao Ming called out.
