Chapter 482: Entering the Dragon Blood Fire Domain

After the four Spirit-Gathering Altars gave birth to the Heavenly Spirit Dew, this bustling area began to disperse; teams from the various academies withdrew, now eager to continue searching for other Spirit-Gathering Altars to see if they could gather more Heavenly Spirit Dew in the final stretch, so as to escort more team members onto Dragon Bone Island.

Thus, in less than half a day, the lake and marsh, once boiling with excitement, became much emptier.

After harvesting the Heavenly Spirit Dew, Li Luo and the others did not linger, setting off directly.

They headed toward the Dragon Blood Fire Domain, located at the deepest part of the Academy-Level Arena; its vast expanse completely surrounded Dragon Bone Island, and to reach the island, the Dragon Blood Fire Domain was the only path.

However, Li Luo and the others were not in a rush to head straight for the Dragon Blood Fire Domain, as they still lacked a small amount of Heavenly Spirit Dew to complete their quota.

So for the next two days, they wandered through the depths, searching everywhere.

After the sudden wealth and rapid harvest from the cluster of Spirit-Gathering Altars, the sudden bitter struggle to find more made everyone somewhat unable to adapt, but fortunately the amount of Heavenly Spirit Dew they needed was not large, so after two days of intense searching, they finally filled the sixth Spirit Gourd.

Then the team did not stop, heading straight for the Dragon Blood Fire Domain.

Along the way, they still encountered other academy teams; upon recognizing Li Luo, their expressions became wary and polite, and they hurriedly led their teams away.

Li Luo did not pay attention to these, simply leading his team at full speed.

After spending roughly half a day like this, Li Luo suddenly felt the temperature in the air begin to rise rapidly; an inexplicable heat filled the heavens and earth.

The group crossed a mountain peak, and immediately the view before them changed drastically; endless blazing crimson filled their eyes, seeming to be a sea of fiery red, with red flames constantly rising from the seawater, scorching the void and causing the void itself to violently distort.

Moreover, the sea of fire was filled with an inexplicable pressure, that pressure so ancient and vast, faintly accompanied by the sound of dragon roars.

"Is this the Dragon Blood Fire Domain? What a terrifying feeling," Seeing Yu Lang said, his face somewhat pale.

Li Luo nodded with an extremely solemn expression; he could feel the terrifying power contained within this sea of fire, absolutely something their Phase Master realm could not withstand; he felt that if they walked in without any defense, they would not last half a minute before being burned to nothing but ash.

"Can this Heavenly Spirit Dew really protect us?" Wang Wang Hejiu swallowed hard, his eyes slightly fearful; he was truly afraid that this thing would not have enough protective power, and then they would be buried alive in the sea of fire.

"What are you afraid of? Even if the Heavenly Spirit Dew loses its protection, as long as your body is seriously injured, the Spirit Gourd will naturally send you out; with so many vice-directors from academies outside watching, and envoys from the Academy Alliance present, how could there be a situation where many students die?" Bai Bai Doudou said disdainfully.

"Even if it can save half a life, I'm afraid we'll still suffer greatly," Wang Wang Hejiu said.

"Then don't go," Bai Bai Doudou said.

Wang Wang Hejiu pouted.

"Everyone, the issue of personnel has already been decided, so there is no need to say more."

Li Luo clapped his hands, interrupting their argument; with a solemn gaze fixed on everyone, he said, "Moving forward, we enter the second half of the Academy-Level competition, and I imagine the decisive stage is not far off; enough has been said for encouragement; I just want to say one thing to everyone here."

Everyone's gaze fixed on Li Luo; after this period of joint action, regarding Li Luo's ability, even Wang Wang Hejiu and Du Zebeixuan, who were at odds with him, although they did not say it, gradually accepted it in their hearts.

"Everyone inside Saint Xuanxing Academy is waiting for our triumphant return."

"And as members of Saint Xuanxing Academy, we have the obligation to fight with all our might to win this honor for our academy; so no matter how great the difficulties and obstacles we encounter later, no one can stop my steps."

Li Luo met everyone's gaze; a faint smile appeared on his face; the youth was calm and unhurried, radiating a kind of confidence that gave him an exceptionally strong charm at this moment, causing the girls present to have their gazes linger on his face a little longer.

Qin Qin Zhulu and the others nodded silently.

"Alright, each take your Spirit Gourd, check the Heavenly Spirit Dew, and prepare to enter the Dragon Blood Fire Domain." After a simple morale boost, Li Luo said.

Qin Qin Zhulu, Bai Bai Doudou, Wang Wang Hejiu, Beside Yi Yi Lisha, and Lu Qing'er all took out their Spirit Gourds and performed the final checks.

Moments later, after everyone finished checking, Li Luo smiled at Seeing Yu Lang, Bai Bai Mengmeng, Student Xin Fu, and others: "We may have to part ways here for now; thank you all for your efforts in the first half."

Seeing Yu Lang breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "We'll leave the rest to you; we'll wait for your good news at the tower."

Bai Bai Mengmeng's cheeks bloomed with a pure and moving smile like a flower bud; she clenched her small fist toward Li Luo and said softly, "Captain, go for it; I believe you can definitely win the title of Strongest One-Star Academy Student!"

Li Luo also smiled and nodded at her, then said no more, turning directly and walking briskly toward the distant Dragon Blood Fire Domain.

Behind him, Qin Qin Zhulu, Bai Bai Doudou, Lu Qing'er, and others all followed.

As they gradually walked away, when they looked back again, they saw beams of light emanating from Seeing Yu Lang, Bai Bai Mengmeng, and others; these lights wrapped around their figures and gradually shot up into the sky.

In other places, similar light pillars also appeared.

Those were students from other academies who could not enter the Dragon Blood Fire Domain; after the teams separated, they directly crushed their Spirit Gourds and chose to withdraw.

Because the competition that followed belonged to the stage of those who entered the Dragon Blood Fire Domain.

Li Luo withdrew his gaze, turning to look at the crimson sea appearing before him; the crimson flames surging on the sea surface were so violent as to be terrifying; even though they had not yet stepped into it, the roaring sound of the flames had already begun to reach them.

Li Luo stared at the crimson seawater, like blood; faintly, within it, one could still see faint golden light.

Dragon Blood Fire Domain.

Could this fire domain be formed from the blood of real dragons?

Thinking these thoughts, Li Luo took out his Spirit Gourd and poured all the Heavenly Spirit Dew inside onto his body.

The Heavenly Spirit Dew flowed slowly, as if turning into a thin layer of water film; the water film covered every part of the body, and immediately an indescribable coolness surged into the heart, and the heat brought by the Dragon Blood Fire Domain instantly vanished.

Li Luo curiously looked down at the water film covering his palm; this water film did not affect the flow of Phase Power within the body, but it completely isolated the influence from the Dragon Blood Fire Domain.

He sensed carefully and said, "Although this water film formed from Heavenly Spirit Dew can isolate the influence of the Dragon Blood Fire Domain, it is itself being melted by the sea of fire; we must reach Dragon Bone Island before it is melted."

"Moreover, the protective ability of the water film itself is quite weak; once attacked by external force, it is very likely to break, so after we enter the Dragon Blood Fire Domain, try to avoid fighting with others."

Lu Qing'er said, "I don't think anyone would want to fight in the Dragon Blood Fire Domain."

Li Luo pondered, "Being careful is always good; to win, any conspiracy or trickery is nothing unusual."

Everyone nodded.

Li Luo then waved his hand, his figure moved, and he darted out first, leading the charge into the Dragon Blood Fire Domain where crimson flames were rising.
