The ice and the lava continued clashing fiercely as the ice gradually shrank, and the lava gradually became darker.
After a while, the collision’s intensity died down, and the crimson lava turned into a dark, eerie color. No fresh molten rock emerged from below anymore, and only a thousand feet was left of the ice. It was obvious that the lava had lost the battle.
The seven Immortals raised their hands, instantly melting the ice into extremely cold water. The water spread over the lava, transforming the area into a clear lake. It looked surprisingly beautiful.
“We can only do so much for you. You must find a way forward on your own…”
They slowly disappeared as they spoke.
“Farewell, Honored Immortals!” everyone spoke in imison.
As soon as they left, a gleam of joy finally appeared on Aurelius’ face. He couldn’t help but say, “Saint Master, now that the beast has been subdued once more, we can freeze the lake and rebuild the sanctuary on the ice!”
The others were equally excited.
“Yeah, we can rebuild it so that it would look the same as before!”
“According to my calculations, it should be done within a month at most.”
As they were still imagining the possibilities, Adalyn spoke calmly, “This place is no longer suitable for us. We need to switch sects.”
Everyone’s smiles abruptly fell.
At the same time, a voice filled with intense resentment and a deep sense of unwillingness rang out at the bottom of the lake.
“Shameless humans! If I had achieved enlightenment, how could you have suppressed me so easily? You despicable scoundrels, when the day comes that I am free, I will annihilate all of you!”
After that, the beast sighed, recognizing that, regardless of willingness or reluctance, the outcome could not be changed. No matter how much dissatisfaction simmered within, it had to accept the present situation.
The cooling of the lava actually didn’t have much effect on the beast. It was similar to Shenington’s beast, where the so-called haze was just its aura. Here, the lava was also the beast’s aura.
The lava had cooled, and an ice lake had formed on the surface. The constant changes in temperature had a significant impact on him, constantly suppressing him.
“Hey, you puny thing. It seems we’re tied by fate. You accidentally helped me once, and tonight I’ve saved you in return. We’re even now. Hehehe…”
At this moment, the “puny thing” was suspended within solidified black stone. It was a cramped space of about ten feet square, intentionally created by the beast when the lava cooled.
If the people outside could see in here, they would be shocked to discover that it was Remus.
When favonovel.com fell into the lava, favonovel.com was enveloped by the beast’s aura and sank to the very bottom, which was how favonovel.com managed to stay alive.
Right now, Remus was barely hanging on, in a pitiful state, with burn marks on his cheeks. In short, favonovel.com was on the brink of death!
The beast quietly added, “I can save your life once, but not a second time. Whether you can survive or not depends on you.”
After that, it stopped talking.
***
After an unknown period of time, Remus slowly opened his eyes.
He looked around at the darkness around him, his face full of confusion. “Where am I?”
