Chapter 422: [ The ferocious Fire Beast ]
The world of Fire and Ferocious Magma.
A completely different world of hot and hellish fire. Looking around, the ground beneath their feet appeared to be in a deep red color; as if it was paved by terrifying red-hot steel.
Smoke rises from the ground, creating silhouettes of indistinct figures, like an illusion, messing with one's mind. Crackle! Crackle! The ground was uneven; disorderly boulders were scattered around.
Stalks of embers were distributed across every direction on the fire-red colored ground that can even be called as the fire enchanted world.
Some of the embers were only a few inches tall, while some had even shot up for over ten meters in height. On both sides, pools after pools of red-colored lava bubbled like boiling water…
Fiery red magma was slowly flowing into the enormous crypt. Wooosh. A snake-shaped river of lava suddenly rose up from the pool of burning hell, then dove into another part of the fiery sea.
Occasionally, there would be huge bubbles of air floating out from within it. A moment later, there would be a soft ‘bang’ as the bubbles burst apart, like balloons. The hot magma would shoot out from within, appearing as beautiful as a fiery, red firework.
This was none other than... a sea of magma in the world of Celestial. One of the very best Allen had seen ever since he had come into this world...!
However, Allen suddenly noticed that the color of the magma here appeared exceptionally dark-red in color compared to ordinary magma he had been accustomed back in the real world.
It was as though it was mixed with countless amounts of fresh blood of hundreds and thousands of living beings. Its entirety was filled with a strange color. Drawing out an incomparably terrifying scene of a lava purgatory.
Unquestionably, just as obvious as it was, the wind here was scorching hot as the air’s temperature reached a terrifying height. If a normal person was to come here, whether High human or Godkin, they would suffocate or probably die from incredible heat enveloping the entire place.
“I didn’t expect… that hidden under the Dessert, there would be such a terrifying yet beautiful place.” Allen smiled wryly as sighed with shock escape from his mouth. He felt like he had stepped into the purgatory and yet this purgatory was a beautiful place only existed in legend.
“Yes, master, what a majestic underground magma world…” Dakna surveyed the entire place with an expression of full interest and adoration. “… The flame elements in this place were extremely rich! I haven’t seen this kind of place before… it’s as if, as long as I stand here, my strength would slowly rise without a problem…”
Just as she said that several lights flashed from Allen’s chest and Grim, the fire elemental fairy, Luan Eagle as well as Lama appeared. Feeling the place, even Lama’s face widened in shock and excitement.
“Husband… this place…” Lama turned to Allen in shock and excitement.
Allen shook his head. “I also don’t know…” He clenched his fist, opened it and clenched it again.
For some reason, his fire type energy, even his fire chakra started becoming denser, growing rapidly.
“But still… what about the beast…? Why is there no activity?”
The magma world was calm.
There was not the slightest sign of any unusual movement. However, before this, Allen had clearly sensed the flow of extremely large energy.
In this deep area underground without any other living beings, how could it be possible…?
Fire Beast...
Allen knit his brows tightly. With his strength, he naturally knew that it was impossible for him to have sensed wrongly. Yet, now…
Even if he was mistaken, how could Dakna and the others sense mistakenly much less him and yet only volcanoes and magma existed in this place? There wasn’t even the slightest hint of life within his line of sight.
Step. Step. Step.
Allen trudged slowly ahead. At this very moment, only within the flames of hell could Allen truly understand exactly how amazing his Physique was. Others could barely hold out in this environment with their strength, but he simply didn’t feel any sort of discomfort.
Unaffected by the high temperature or the flames, it wouldn’t be unfair in the slightest to say that this was a power which could rebel against the heavens.
Now, not only his Monster King Physique, Dragon Physique, Angel of Death Physique –but also, his Lifeless Physique that can give him an ability to deny all those things that living being has. However, of course, Allen only activates it sometimes. He didn’t like forsaking the usual things that made human life beautiful.

Food.
Lust.
Feelings.
Emotions.
… And lastly, Pain.
He fights to quench his thirst and feel the thrill of life. Without pain, he would be lacking quite a significant amount of experience. He had tempered his heart through killing, but he didn’t want to become emotionless.
Anyway, not being able to feel pain can also cause disadvantages itself!
It was at Allen’s tenth step when he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked left towards a deep pool of lava.
The red lava emanated a shockingly high temperature. It was churning violently, rose higher and higher, and grew fiercer by the moment….
Booom! Suddenly, the pool overflowed and a large chunk of lava savagely broke loose with a deafening sound.
And just at this time, Allen suddenly felt something was not right, his wild beast kind of intuition let him instinctively feel that someone was approaching, although there was not even a bit of unusual fluctuation in the air.
But he never seconded his intuition. Allen's vigilance skyrocketed. His power surged through every part of his body and his battle sense kicked in, like a mad horse.
Then…
Bang!!
A slight sound suddenly and quietly sounded from within the magma world. Immediately, it passed through the deep hole of unknown height and was transmitted into Allen’s ear.
This slight sound was just like that of a heartbeat, causing the heart of the person who heard it to involuntarily beat with it.
!!? Hm…?!
Bang!
"It finally has woken up..." Just as Allen was deep in thought, another low and deep sound suddenly appeared. Additionally, this sound was even clearer and louder than before. That manner… appeared to be as though there was something about to break out of its cocoon and appear.
‘Master, I don’t know but it seems like the beast that we’re looking for had finally awakened.’ Allen recalled Dakna’s words and felt a headache.
It seems like that sentence wasn’t the least bit wrong…
The countdown of the awakening started before he could notice it...
Dakna and the others also felt the sudden change in the air and immediately surrounded Allen. Lan, the Luan Eagle, and Xinghong immediately stand in front of Allen protectively. As for Grim and small fire spirit… well, the moment they had felt something, they hurriedly rushed towards Allen’s bosom… shivering.
Allen frowned. His expression was dark and volatile. Under the reflection of the dark-red light, it appeared somewhat dark and solemn.
"Come," He muttered under his breath and yet his voice seemed to have covered entire magma world.
Bang! Another sound that appeared like that of a heartbeat once again sounded. This time around, it was even stronger than the previous one.
Bang!
Bang!!
As time flowed by, the frequency of that somewhat strange sound beating became increasingly rapid.
“This bastard… what is he waiting for?” Allen muttered softly in his mouth.
Then, as he surveyed the entire area with his perception, his expression suddenly changed drastically as his gaze eyed that underground magma world with shock.
An extremely wild and violent majestic energy was slowly surging from the bottom of the magma from that spot. Moreover, in this wild, violent energy surged, the calmness of that magma world was suddenly broken.
A wild wind from an unknown source began billowing above the magma, bringing that magma as it roiled and rose, forming a hundred foot large fire-colored wave that immediately smashed heavily down.
That instantaneous ‘Bang’ was just like mountains-collapsing and the land-splitting--it almost blows the others away, causing them to retreat a few step back. Except for Allen, the others paled as they made contact with the fiery ripple in space.
Cryaaaaahhhh!!!
Just as Allen was waiting for what comes next, a clear cry resounded out in the entire place. This clear cry seemed to have turned into a sound wave and spread outwards, shaking the entire cave for a moment.
Allen immediately takes off his mask and his Demonic appearance appeared. An intense domineering presence entered his deep and mysterious eyes. His power slowly surged through him as jitters filled him from his body to the extremity of his fingers.
"It's coming...!" He told the others.
Under Allen’s extreme vigilance, from the boiling and restless lake of magma, a fiery light quietly appeared as it floated in the air. It was not just light but seems like a cluster of flames forming into a huge ball.
The cluster of flames and magma seemed to be 10 meters in diameter as it floated in the air.
It was like a blazing sun, floating in front of them.
“This is…”
Allen’s eyes twinkled when he saw the shining sun. Shock and surprise.
Cryaaaaahhhh!!!
Another clear cry emitted out like a sound wave again. This sound wave was as gentle as the flow of water and it spread over the entire place.
The heaven and earth seemed to have become completely silent at this moment. Even the magma that was wild and restless just a moment ago had apparently been tamed and appeared to have become a pet that had seen its owner the moment the sound echoed and swiftly quieted down.
Allen fiercely sucked in a breath of air. A hint of astonishment surged out from his red eyes. when he looked at his side, he could see the restless and unease that had appeared within his tamed beasts eyes. Even Grim and the Fire spirit started trembling with fear within his bosom.
This beast is…?
Crack!!
During this silence, a sudden cracking sound rang out. It was not loud, but the entire Magma cavern seemed to have been shocked by lightning. Then, all their eyes fixed itself onto the blazing sun–like ball of fiery flames and magma. They could see that subtle cracks actually emerged on the surface of the fireball.
As the cracks emerged, huge deep red flames surged out covering the entire ball. When the bizarre flames rushed out, the magic energy in the cavern seemed to show signs of boiling.
Feeling the sudden change in temperature, Dakna, Lama as well as Lan, immediately spread their auras without waiting for Allen’s orders and cover the group with three colorful barriers.
CRYAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!
Just as they finished creating the barrier, a cry rang out in the world from the mysterious fireball. Fiery flames instantly enveloped the cavern like a storm. Fortunately, Dakna and the others managed to create the barrier on time if not, they would certainly be hit by the flames directly.
As they endured the sudden shower of fire and magma, the cracks on the surface of the fiery fireball were becoming increasingly concentrated. Then with a final crisping sound, it burst open.
As the deep crimson flames became even more violent, Allen and the others were somewhat shocked to see a pair of crimson fiery wings that could cover a mountain stretching out from within the flames.
Firebird...!!?
