C2376 Fivefold Fire Domain

The flames continued to pulsate, and the surroundings seemed to have turned into a sea of fire, emitting a heart-palpitating heat.

As Lin Bai proceeded deeper, the color of the flame also continuously changed. From the previous red and blue color mixed with a little white, it gradually became pure white. The boundless sea of fire was connected together, like a milky white fog that was constantly flowing.

However, the fog was peaceful and the fire in the fiery domain was incomparably ruthless, causing one's heart to be uneasy.

At this point, the ground became increasingly bumpy and uneven. Countless strange and dense rocks intertwined with the road in front of them, causing Lin Bai's progress to be greatly reduced and he was unable to pass through quickly.

However, even though the power of fire in the Fire Region had already reached the third level, Lin Bai's heart was as calm as steel. Especially after experiencing such a change, it had reached an unimaginable level. The fire tormented his mind as if it was scratching an itch. The moment the phenomenon appeared, it was all washed away in the blink of an eye.

The more he walked forward, the more the fire raged, the more the cave was engulfed in flames. Moreover, after running for several dozen feet, a fourth colored flame gradually appeared in front of Lin Bai.

The flames here were two extremes in terms of color, compared to the ones that Lin Bai had come into contact with before. At this point, the flames had completely turned into a pure black color. Dark light flickered endlessly, and it was even darker than thick ink. When their eyes touched the color, it was as if they were completely attracted to it.

The black flame was a phenomenon that had never happened before in the mortal world! As he gazed at the pitch black flames, Lin Bai muttered to himself for a long time before lifting his foot and stepping into the flames. As soon as his feet touched the black flames, although his body didn't change, his mind had a vague feeling of it being torn apart, causing his heart to palpitate inexplicably.

If not for Lin Bai's resolute heart, it was likely that he would already be in danger. But even so, it was still enough to make Lin Bai's advancement countless times more difficult. Not only that, within the black flames, he could see a few dried up corpses.

This was the remains of the person who had once entered this place and forged flying swords. The fire within the fiery domain wasn't able to damage a person's body. Moreover, because of the existence of the fire, there weren't any microbes that could corrupt the body. Although it had undergone many changes over time, the skeletons were still vivid and lifelike, only a lot thinner.

Since these people were able to enter this place, they must have been once powerful experts of the Sword Pavilion. But unfortunately, they still couldn't endure the pain of this burning heart, and in the end, their lives were lost here.

As he brushed past the bodies of these people, Lin Bai felt as though many pairs of eyes were staring right at him through the endless river of history. This kind of feeling caused a shadow to be inexplicably cast over Lin Bai's heart. He increasingly felt that if he wanted to go deep into the depths of the fiery domain, forging flying swords here would most certainly be a narrow escape.

But now that things had come to this point, he had no possibility of turning back at all. He could only continue forward.

Gritting his teeth, he chanted the Serenity Scripture in his heart to calm his heart. Lin Bai continued to walk forward as he stepped on the dark flames. Even though the sea of fire was monstrous, it was unable to obstruct his footsteps.

Lin Bai didn't know how long he had walked in this black flames, but he felt that his steps were getting heavier and heavier. Although he was silently chanting the scripture, his heart was still feeling increasingly uneasy due to this pure darkness.

Right at this moment of incomparable misery, a beam of golden light abruptly appeared in front of Lin Bai. The moment this ray of light appeared, it was as blinding as the sun in the sky, making it impossible to look straight at. Especially towards Lin Bai who had been walking in the darkness for a long time, he couldn't help but raise his hand to cover his face.

When he first saw this light, there was still joy in his heart to escape from the darkness. However, after his eyes got used to the color, his heart became heavy again. The black flames were already unbearable for him. If he were to enter the dazzling fifth flame, who knew if he would still be able to withstand it.

"No matter what, for their sake, and also for my own, I can only go forward!" Lin Bai stopped and calmed himself down. He gritted his teeth and without any further hesitation, he headed straight for the flames.

As soon as the tip of his foot touched the golden flame, Lin Bai suddenly felt that he was unable to endure it any longer. Although this flame was still harmless to his body, his skin felt as if it was about to crack.

Not only his body, he felt that his heart was about to go insane. His soul seemed to be burning continuously, about to turn into ashes. Even if he had the mana to stop it, he couldn't stop the warmth from seeping in.

And at this moment, he discovered even more so that within the golden flames, there were countless bright and resplendent deity-like silhouettes standing straight and shining. They closely watched him, as if they were ready to attack him at any moment.

This discovery caused him to feel great fear. However, he soon discovered that these figures, which were as bright as gods, were actually just like the figures within the black flames. They were all the remains of the sword cultivators who had once ventured into this place.

Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there were countless mottled wounds on their bodies, as if something had cut them open. Lin Bai understood that these scars had been clawed out by these sword cultivators with their own hands. Because the pain of their souls made them unable to support themselves, they could only cut themselves off and rid themselves of this pain.

Just what kind of existence was this fiery domain? How could it be so terrifying?!

At the same time, he finally understood why the sword pavilion, after countless years of inheritances, would end up with a situation where swordsmen did not have swords. It wasn't that their seniors were too wasteful, or wasted too much resources, but that the fiery domain was too terrifying.

Lin Bai was confident that even if he gave the jade artifact elder enough resources to forge a flying sword and let him come to this fiery domain to refine a flying sword, with his cultivation, he would most likely stop when he reached the third flame.

As for the quality of the flying swords forged from the third layer, it was just a waste of resources.

If one wanted better quality, they could only continue forwards. But if they went forward, then with the terrifying power of the fires in this fiery domain, if they went deeper, they would likely lose their lives and their soul would turn to ash.

Walking in the dazzling golden flames, there was a type that Lin Bai felt as if there wasn't a flame around him, but rather the melted golden soup. It was like a maggot sinking into his body, continuously attacking his soul.

That wild and violent heat caused his soul to constantly tremble, as if it was about to burst into flames!

Amidst the shock, Lin Bai did not have any hesitation as he directly channeled all the Fa Li in his body around his body, continuously strengthening and nourishing his soul, trying to use Fa Li to make up for the loss of his soul under the flames.

His mana was like water and the situation around him was like fire. The two of them continued to grow one after the other, constantly exhausting themselves. This loss made Lin Bai more and more exhausted, until he felt that his feet were like lead, unable to go any further.

Or should he stop here and use the fire here to forge the flying sword? As of this moment, he was filled with hesitation. However, the moment this thought appeared, it was quickly dispelled by him.

Although the fifth layer's flames were mystical, if one could forge a flying sword here, the quality one could reach would be extraordinary as well. However, if one wanted to fight against those unknown existences, it was still quite difficult. No matter what, he had to continue moving forward. He had to do everything he could to move deeper into the depths of the flames. Only by doing so would he be able to have a greater grasp of the situation.

After some thought, Lin Bai took out a spirit stone and gripped it tightly in his palm. He used the spirit stone's spirit energy to nourish his body and strengthen his mana to make up for the loss of his soul. When the spiritual qi entered his body, the feeling of his soul being burnt to ashes immediately improved.

However, his current situation was still not good. He had limited spirit stones, but there were still four levels to the flames, and the variables were too great. If he continued forward, his mind would eventually be unable to hold on and he would turn into ashes like the people of Sword Pavilion sooner or later.

It was difficult for someone to walk the path of a degenerate, but no matter how deep the water or how hot the flames burned around him, he had to walk straight ahead, never stopping!

When his thoughts reached this point, Lin Bai's eyes turned cold. The Innate True Divine Light penetrated through his body, enveloping his entire body, and as his feet stepped on the ground, his body was like a flying arrow as he swiftly rushed forward, vowing to charge out from within the resplendent flames!

"Martial Uncle, what level do you think he will reach?" At the same time, outside of the fiery domain, Tai Ah's eyebrows creased. His eyes were tightly staring at the cave entrance of the fiery domain as he asked the jade artifact Elder beside him in a low voice.

"Which level?" The jade artifact Elder fell into deep thought. After a long time, he slowly said, "In my opinion, perhaps the fifth floor will be able to stop his footsteps. The scorching sun fire, the pain of refining the heart, in the records of my ancient teachings, there were several grandmasters that died there. Although Little Friend Lin is resourceful, I'm afraid it can only stop here!"

Tai Ah fell silent when he heard this. Although he didn't answer the jade artifact elder, the expression in his eyes clearly showed that he had an extremely heavy suspicion towards the jade artifact elder's words. He had exchanged blows with Lin Bai before, and he knew how strong Lin Bai's heart was. He knew that even though the sun fire of the fifth level was terrifying, it would be extremely difficult for it to stop Lin Bai …

I just wonder, which level will you reach? And I, in the years to come, where can I go …
