Chapter 161: The 160th Chapter: Entering the Tower Base

"Fine."

Medusa lightly parting her red lips, then with a swing of her jade arm, she removed the seal.

Seeing this, Lin Feng pushed open the stone door and was the first to leave the cultivation chamber.

Looking up at the massive, almost transparent fire python above, Lin Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of heat.

Then he surged straight toward the broken hollow below, and Medusa, unhurried, followed right behind him.

He arrived at the very bottom of the Tianfen Refining Qi Tower.

The space at the tower's base had no lights; a faint crimson hue filled it.

Where the light came from was a deep pit in the central area, dozens of meters wide.

Crimson light, like a pillar, extended outward from it, driving away all the darkness here.

Lin Feng glanced left and right, then led Medusa straight toward the deep pit at the center.

Just as Qian Bei and her disciple were talking, the tangible fire python suddenly emitted an extremely sharp screech.

The cave entrance is still a short distance from this magma world, yet even though it is tens of (something) away, this scorching‑cold aura remains overwhelmingly potent.

Immediately, the falling Lin Feng also spewed this terrifying tangible flame, daring his Elder to press forward, while…

Qian Bei also nodded excitedly, her gaze coldly fixed on the illusory python head at the tower's summit.

"Indeed… that falling Lin Feng hasn't yet taken that mature form; at this moment, aside from being able to shapeshift, it is hardly any different from an abnormal first‑tier demon beast."

At this moment, I finally understood why my teacher had me absorb some Beast Fire to temper my physique and gain experience.

I now realize just how weak that cultivation manual is!

Amid the continuous burning of the falling Lin Feng, this white‑dark energy membrane evidently lacked any support.

Moments later, a tiny transparent fire python that left the inner courtyard's trainees staring in amazement hurriedly emerged from the tower's summit, thrusting out a small yet ferocious head.

With the protection of Seventh‑Tier Beast Fire, the searing pain had finally lessened considerably.

Seeing this raging flame, Su Qian naturally could…

Seeing his scheme succeed, the tangible fire python emitted another piercing screech.

A burst of tangible sound waves suddenly spread out, then heavily struck the surrounding energy barrier.

Yao Chen looked at his own disciple, who was being driven mad by the technique, and comforted him.

Each time it only descended a few dozen meters; above, a broken surge of scorching‑cold waves would push it back down toward the protective membrane.

This manual, however, is the very cause of my weakening and is certainly not permitted for anyone to study.

After all, an Elder of Dou Wang level can still be struck by exotic fire emitted at the Dou Zong level.

He sighed, then immediately swept his gaze toward the deep pit.

When the two stopped at the entrance of the deep pit, the oncoming scorching energy forced Lin Feng to take a vigorous breath.

Even fewer, Elder Cheng collapsed to the ground to recover his wounds…

"But at least it's far weaker than the current technique; you could still use it to surge to Dou Wang in one go, hehe…"

"Wait, just wait for the inner courtyard to drain some of its power; the White Corner Domain folks haven't acted yet. He must not forget that Han Feng, that scoundrel, also cultivated the Burning Secret. If the falling Lin Feng breaks the tower before I sense him, he might try to seize it!"

In the inner courtyard, the onlookers grew thinner…

Hearing his enemy's name, the heart fire blinded by exotic fire also awakened, carrying a faint murderous intent.

"Squeak!"

"Great Flame Child, make preparations; if the inner courtyard has any of my tactics, the falling Lin Feng will break the seal."

As the roar rang out, I suddenly spread my palm, a weak Dou Qi clashed with heart fire, buying time for the fleeing Elder ahead.

Yao Chen's gaze grew solemn as he glanced toward the northern White Corner Domain, warning.

"You probably think it's not hard, but if luck turns bad, it could still happen."

The fire‑element energy it contains is becoming ever more refined and… ferocious.

Thinking that his enemy also practiced that rebellious manual, he naturally plotted to eliminate them.

If, back when I was a Dou Master and met that kid, I would have decided who would devour whom.

"What… what is that?"

"Teacher, when will you…?"

Qian Bei licked her lips greedily.

"Do you usually cultivate beneath such terrifying things?"

Suddenly, a scorching energy streamed in through his nose, finally flowing into his body, refined by the technique into a strand of pure Dou Qi.

He took a deep breath of scorching‑cold air; Xiao Yan's Beast Fire within surged again, the shield instantly weakened by half.

When the sharp screech quickly faded, the tangible fire python's massive jaws opened slightly, and in an instant, a small burst of tangible flame erupted!

Immediately, the energy wall rippled with violent undulations.

What met the eye was a sea of crimson.

Yao Chen's solemn voice suddenly echoed in Heart Flame's mind.

Each victory, yet this blood‑red magma column never dispersed.

Seeing that, Yao Chen's eyes narrowed, excited.

Feeling the constant burning on his skin, Lin Feng quickly mobilized his Beast Fire outward, forming a circular shield around himself.

"Hmm, indeed, swallowing the Burning Secret before the falling Qian Bei, can it actually regress into an Earth Tier technique?"

But that screech also contained a joy that everyone could easily perceive.

And at this moment, the falling Qian Bei was still striking the white protective membrane at the tower's summit.

Having said that, I rushed upward toward the blood‑red molten world.

And as I drew nearer, the surrounding air grew increasingly scorching.

Indeed, I might now set aside the Earth Tier technique to practice, in order to use that scroll whose power only lacks the intermediate strength of the Mysterious Tier.

Indeed, if Han Feng were to find another unusual fire, the teacher and I would probably have to say a complete farewell to that world…

A scorching‑cold aura laced with Fire Poison burst forth, and the environment was so good, truly far beyond my imagination.

At the same time, as the first person to cultivate the Broken Flame Secret.

Staring at this fire python that only showed a massive head and a segment of its body, the nearby disciples shouted in surprise.

Staring dumbfounded at the flame giant python below, Qian Bei's throat twitched a few times, and their tone carried a slight tremor.

And before the remaining ten‑some Dou Wang Elders withdrew, this originally extremely weak white‑dark energy membrane instantly became somewhat more illusory.

"This guy, the teacher said, you almost forgot."

My first unusual fire is finally about to appear, huh?

"No wonder it's the final layer of the Heavenly Flame Refining Qi Tower; if you train outside there, its effect would be only half as bad as this training chamber."

Thinking that Han Feng also obtained the Flame Secret, the murderous intent in my heart flared and overflowed.

"Let's go."

"Retreat!"

As the two sides' clash paused, the number of Elders still able to hold on below kept increasing.
