Chapter 189 - Exit

In the bottom of the lava pool, Shi Yan’s face was filled with shock.

The series of thoughts from the Ice Cold Flame brought the Blood Vein Ring to another astonishing level. And it also made him realize, for the first time, that the Blood Vein Ring was no ordinary thing.

As a Sky Fire, the Ice Cold Flame had a shocking sense and insight. It was also inside the Blood Vein Ring, if even the Ice Cold Flame couldn’t sense the Ring Spirit inside the Blood Vein Ring, it could be seen as to how mysterious and strange the Blood Vein Ring was.

Feeling the approach of the Core Fire, the Blood Vein Ring sealed all the presence of Ice Cold Flame’s power. It used the fire power that it absorbed, in these days, and formed into the Core Fire’s favorite Fire Crystal Jade. Ie made all preparations, and reopened a space, to be fully prepared for the arrival of the Core Fire.

If someone were to say that there was no Ring Spirit in the Blood Vein Ring, even Shi Yan wouldn’t believe it.

“This ring, is extraordinary. Normal Magic Space Rings can only store items, they can never store living souls. But your ring, is completely different. It seems to be unable to store items, but it can store living entities like my own. Even I cannot feel the existence of the ring spirit, this ring spirit is definitely no small matter.”

Shi Yan could clearly feel, that there was more presence or power of the Ice Cold Flame flowing out of the Blood Vein Ring.

The Blood Vein Ring seemed to have completely sealed the Ice Cold Flame, and made the Ice Cold Flame unable to release its power out. Other than still being able to communicate with Shi Yan’s soul, the Ice Cold Flame could no longer do anything else.

At the same time.

Shi Yan, who was inside the hard ice, suddenly started to feel the fire power around him getting stronger and stronger.

“I can’t keep putting power into the hard ice that is covering your body. That hard ice will hold up for one to two days at most, then it will completely melt away. You need to immediately call out to the Core Fire, and make it get inside the Blood Vein Ring on its own before the hard ice melts. Or else you will need to leave immediately. Although your body already has some fire power, you still can’t survive under the lava pool.”

The Ice Cold Flame seemed slightly urgent, it hurriedly clarified the newest situation to Shi Yan.

Being inside the lava pool, his surroundings were covered by the thickest lava. The reason why he could stay here all along, was because the Ice Cold Flame kept putting its cold energy into the hard ice covering his body, making him safe and sound.

Once that layer of hard ice melts, his body would be completely revealed.

Shi Yan did not want to die.

When he received the message from the Ice Cold Flame, he didn’t dare to hesitate. Shi Yan immediately spread out his consciousness, and slowly approached the Fire Crystal Jade where the ten thousand year-old Core FIre was at.

Once his consciousness touched the Fire Crystal Jade, the ten thousand year-old Cire Fire inside immediately became active again. But, this time when Shi Yan wanted to make its consciousness leave the Fire Crystal Jade, it did not budge. It was obviously scared by the Ice Cold Flame’s presence a while ago.

The Core Fire won’t come out, but the hard ice covering his body was slowly melting. More and More fire power slowly seeped through.

Shi Yan began to feel anxious, “It won’t listen to me, is there another way?”

“No. Other than making it leave the Fire Crystal Jade on its own, there is no other way. How about let us just leave here first? Next time when you get to understand the secrets of the ring, we can come here to collect the Core Fire again? Decide quickly, if it’s too late, it would be very difficult for you to float up to the surface alive.”

The Ice Cold Flame also had no methods to use, it just persuaded Shi Yan to leave as soon as possible.

Shi Yan’s face was full of worry, he was thinking at a great speed, but had no ideas.

The Blood Vein Ring has a ring spirit. Even though the ring spirit did not expose itself, it seemed to know his thoughts. Since it did open up a space inside the ring, and formed Fire Crystal Jade, then it obviously wanted to let the Core Fire in.

Since that’s the case, then won’t the Blood Vein Ring have some sort of way?

Shi Yan didn’t know, but he decided to take his chances.

After hesitating for a moment, he took off the Blood Vein Ring from his finger, and suddenly threw it towards the Core Fire.

At the same time, Shi Yan immediately concentrated his thoughts, and used his consciousness to communicate with the Core Fire, pursuading the Core Fire to enter into the Blood Vein Ring.

The Blood Vein Ring shot towards the Fire Crystal Jade in the lava, and halfway the Blood Vein Ring suddenly turned into a beam of firelight, with its surface was covered with fire.

A flow of strange fire presence overflowed from that Blood Vein Ring…

Shi Yan was stunned, his eyes immediately brightened.

The Blood Vein Ring seemed to really know his thoughts!

The Blood Vein Ring forwardly formed fire power on its own, and released a fiery presence, that was exactly what the ten thousand year-old Core Fire liked.

Once the ten thousand year-old Core Fire could no longer feel the presence of the Ice Cold Flame inside the Blood Vein Ring, and instead it felt the fire power that it liked the most, with the persuasion of Shi Yan’s consciousness, it definitely could be shaken, and enter the Blood Vein Ring on its own.

A light flashed in his mind.

Shi Yan concentrated, and communicated with the consciousness of the ten thousand year-old Core Fire. He kept persuading it to enter the Blood Vein Ring on its own, and spreaded his friendliness and sincerity.

The Blood Vein Ring fell on top of the Fire Crystal Jade.

“Peng!”

Clusters of flames, appeared on both the Fire Crystal Jade and the Blood Vein Ring. In those flames, there seemed to be the presence of the Core Fire, and it was extremely hot.

Inside the Fire Crystal Jade, that cluster of fist-sized ten thousand year-old Core Fire, was still shifting into different forms. It seemed to have not left the Fire Crystal Jade yet, it only released a small portion of its power, to probe around the Blood Vein Ring, wanting to see what exactly was inside of the Blood Vein Ring, and if it could enter or not.

Shi Yan sensed the carefulness of the Core Fire.

Without urging it with his consciousness, Shi Yan only silently waited, and waited for the Core Fire’s decision.

The fire power of the ten thousand year-old Core Fire quietly creeped into the Blood Vein Ring, and secretly inspected the Blood Vein Ring. It wanted to see if this small little ring was a resting place that it could be satisfied with.

The hard ice that covered his body, was becoming more and more intolerably hot.

There were traces of sweat on Shi Yan’s forehead, he felt slightly nervous inside. Time was passing silently, with every second that passed, the hard ice would melt a bit more. If this were to drag on for too long, it would be very difficult for him to leave this lava pool alive.

After god knows how long, when Shi Yan’s entire body was covered with sweat, the Core Fire finally started to move.

The Core Fire inside the Fire Crystal Jade, rose like fumes, and slowly appeared from inside the Fire Crystal Jade. With a trusting attitude towards Shi Yan, the Core Fire suddenly wrappd around the Blood Vein Ring.

That cluster of fist-sized ten thousand year-old Core Fire, under Shi Yan’s watch, turned smaller bit by bit.

Shi Yan could see, that wisps of fire slowly flew into the Blood Vein Ring, and towards the little piece of Fire Crystal Jade inside the Blood Vein Ring.

Shi Yan’s face was filled with joy, without blinking, he stared at that ten thousand year-old Core FIre.

Very soon, the fist-sized Core Fire, completely disappeared inside the Blood Vein Ring.

After the Core Fire disappeared, the Blood Vein Ring glowed in a flickering bright red aura.

The Blood Vein Ring suddenly moved.

A circle of red light rippled from it, the Blood Vein Ring flew up from that Fire Crystal Jade on its own. It floated inside the Lava Pool, moving slowly towards Shi Yan.

Shi Yan did not hesitate, he reached his hand to grab out, and caught the Blood Vein Ring with one hand, then put it back on his finger.

He sank his consciousness into the Blood Vein Ring.

Inside the Blood Vein Ring, there was a strange swirl that wrapped the Ice Cold Flame, completely sealing the presence and power of the Ice Cold Flame.

In another area, a little Fire Crystal Jade quietly stayed inside a fire space made by clusters of flames. Inside the Fire Crystal Jade, a cluster of fire was abnormally active, and kept shifting into different forms.

The Ice Cold Flame, and the ten thousand year-old Core Fire, were all inside the Blood Vein Ring. They were in two separate spaces, and were clearly differentiated. Their individual powers actually didn’t conflict with each other, and they did not affect each other.

Shi Yan’s consciousness sank in, and he immediately felt the life fluctuations of the Ice Cold Flame, and the happy consciousness of the Core Fire.

Both fires, were living together inside the Blood Vein Ring. They each emitted their own life presence, but they seemed to be unable to sense each other.

It was indeed magical!

The Ice Cold Flame and the Core Fire, one was of extreme Ice elements, and the other was of extreme fire elements. When the two fires were together, once their power interferes with each other, they will both be suppressed by one another.

The Ice Cold Flame was a little alright, after all it was much stronger. But if this ten thousand year-old Core Fire, that didn’t even completely evolve its living state yet, got suppressed by the Ice Cold Flame, it would be extremely harmful to its evolution.

The Blood Vein Ring split up up two different spaces, and separated the Ice Cold Flame and the ten thousand year-old Core Fire. Although they were both inside the Blood Vein Ring, the power of the two were both limited in a small range. Not only did the power of the two sides not interfere with each other, even their life consciousnesses were separated, and they couldn’t sense the existence of each other.

“It has entered?” The Ice Cold Flame sent a message.

“Yes, it had entered.”

“Then what are you staring around for? Aren’t you going to get out of here quickly?”

“Alright, I’m beginning to float upwards.”

…

“Splash!”

Shi Yan poked his head out of the surface of the lava pool. His entire body was red, and there was only a light layer of white mist around his body.

In that white mist, there was an ice cold energy. The cold energy spreaded out, and countered the heat of the lava, such that Shi Yan’s body wouldn’t be burnt.

When he reached the surface of the lava pool, Shi Yan set his mind at rest.

The fire power of the lava here, was actually much weaker. It was so weak that Shi Yan felt like even if the power of the Ice Cold Flame were to be entirely used up, his body would still be able to handle it.

Of course, Shi Yan didn’t waste any time. He didn’t waited for the white mist to completely dissipate to try it out, instead he already started to climb up the red rocky walls.

The Dragon Slaying Sword now showed its use.

When he stabbed down, the red rocky wall would split open. Shi Yan continuously swung the sword, and petrified his body. He used his skin and flesh to touch the red rocky walls, but realized that his palm was only slightly painful, he was not actually hurt by that hot iron-like red rock wall.

His body, was refined by the fire power of the ten thousand year-old Core Fire, and had already gotten used to the high temperature. After the Petrification Spirit reached the third stage, the defensive power of his body also rose to another level, making him fearless against the high temperature in this area.

Very soon, with the help of the Dragon Slaying Sword, Shi Yan slowly climbed up to the crater of the volcano.

A round moon, appeared high up in a starry night sky.

Under the bright moonlight, Shi Yan appeared from the crater, with his body all red. He raised his voice and shouted: “Master Mo, are you here?”

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

The sound of the Cyan Blood Bat breaking through the wind, suddenly came.

In a short moment, a warrior in the first sky of the Earth realm, came while riding a level six Cyan Blood Bat.

“Young master Yan, in this more than half a year of time, a big change happened in the Kyara Sea. Master Mo already returned to the Immortal Island ahead of us. He made me stay here and wait for you.” That Shura Blood Guard bowed.

Big change?

Shi Yan was stunned, he frowned, and rose on top of this Cyan Blood Bat, his face was full of confusion.
