The entire Flame Mountain Range became incredibly scorching due to the commotion caused by Wu Tian and the Fire Cloud Ancestor.
Lava spewed into the sky, then fell back down, sliding down the mountainside with a rumbling sound.
Such natural disasters would undoubtedly be a huge catastrophe for the surrounding ecological environment.
When the lava cooled and turned into obsidian, it was likely that no life would appear within a hundred-mile radius for a long time.
At this moment, at the location of the Fire Cloud Sect, several figures shot up into the sky and gathered together.
Each of them possessed at least Golden Immortal strength, and they held token-like objects in their hands.
Led by Shen Fengyao, everyone injected their immortal energy into the tokens.
Instantly, the tokens emitted a brilliant radiance, transforming into hundreds of streams of light that drilled into the raging volcanoes.
A miraculous thing happened.
The volcanoes, which had been erupting lava, began to stabilize.
All the volcanoes stopped erupting and returned to their original state.
It seemed that the Fire Cloud Sect had its own unique methods for managing volcanoes.
After quelling the disaster, those people noticed the commotion on Wu Tian's side.
With their discerning eyes, how could they not tell what kind of move the Fire Cloud Ancestor had used?
Consequently, they were all shocked.
"Sect Leader!" those people asked urgently, "What is happening down there?"
"How could the Old Sect Leader use such a move? Have they started fighting?"
Shen Fengyao shook her head and said, "Don't overthink it. Just carry on as usual. This is not something you should concern yourselves with."
As she spoke, Shen Fengyao looked towards Wu Tian's position again, a trace of worry appearing in her beautiful eyes.
Although the situation with the surrounding volcanoes had stabilized, Wu Tian's condition had fallen into an extremely dire state.
He had overestimated his strength.
The intensity of the five fiery rings was truly astonishing, even though he had resorted to such measures.
He still felt immense strain, as if his entire body was about to burn.
The fiery rings tenaciously clung to the Holy Dragon Demon Slaying Sword, the scorching flames relentlessly consuming the immortal energy on it like a persistent leech.
Once the immortal energy on the sword was almost completely consumed.
The Holy Dragon Demon Slaying Sword would inevitably shatter!
And once the Holy Dragon Demon Slaying Sword shattered, he would be in danger.
This cannot continue!
This was the first thought that surfaced in Wu Tian's mind.
If he only had these means, he would absolutely be unable to withstand the power of the lava!
But what could he do now?
With his current cultivation, how could he possibly withstand the power accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years?!
The more Wu Tian thought about it, the more anxious he became, and the more anxious he was, the stronger the pressure from the fiery rings became.
Under the dual pressure of anxiety and burning, he felt as heavy as a block of iron!
Finally, faint hisses began to emanate from his throat.
And under this pressure, his steps slowly retreated backward.
Faint cracks had already appeared on the Holy Dragon Demon Slaying Sword, indicating it was on the verge of collapse.
The flames seized the opportunity to surge into the Holy Dragon Demon Slaying Sword, and for a moment, even the dragon's roar became mournful!
"Ah... ah... ah...!"
Wu Tian's muscles tensed tightly, and the golden dragon patterns on his body almost shone to their absolute limit.
At this moment, flames erupted violently from his body!
Instantly, a temperature thousands of degrees high directly surged into Wu Tian's body!
At this moment, Wu Tian could no longer suppress a piercing scream.
The pain of his body burning was something even his physique could hardly endure.
He felt as if his cells were burning, even as he frantically circulated his Divine Doctor's power to repair his body.
But if this continued, he would eventually run out of strength.
And that moment would be his death!
Watching all this unfold on the mountaintop, everyone, though unaware of what had happened, still sighed and shook their heads:
"It looks like he's about to die."
"To dare to confront the Old Sect Leader, isn't that asking for death?"
"These Five Circles of Crimson Flame Fire are one of the Old Sect Leader's unique skills."
"Coupled with the lava accumulated over hundreds of thousands of years, how many people in this world could withstand it?"
Listening to the murmurs of the crowd, Shen Fengyao's expression grew increasingly grim.
She didn't know how she felt, but the sense of focus in her heart was almost overflowing from her chest.
She desperately wanted to help, but she knew very well that with her strength, she could not enter that area.
Just then, she suddenly seemed to recall something and quickly shouted towards Wu Tian:
"Wu Tian! This lava is Ten Thousand Year Fire, you cannot possibly resist it!"
"But Ten Thousand Year Fire fears divine artifacts! As long as you use a divine artifact, the Ten Thousand Year Fire will naturally retreat!"
Wu Tian, who had been feeling drowsy, immediately felt a jolt of adrenaline upon hearing Shen Fengyao's words.
He instantly became clear-headed!
Divine artifact!
If a divine artifact was needed, then in his hand...
Didn't he happen to have one!
With this thought, Wu Tian gritted his teeth and forcefully extended his right hand.
He roared loudly, "Thunder God's Scepter!"
"If not now, then when!"
As Wu Tian's roar echoed, the sky suddenly became filled with lightning and thunder.
The rolling thunderclouds actually dispersed the fiery clouds and occupied half the sky!
Seeing this, even the Fire Cloud Ancestor was shocked and couldn't help but say, "This is..."
A bright bolt of lightning descended from the sky and landed in Wu Tian's hand.
As the golden light dissipated, the true form of the Thunder God's Scepter gradually revealed itself.
And at this moment, it seemed as if the thunderous might of the entire sky had converged upon the scepter.
The Ten Thousand Year Fire, sensing this heavenly thunder's pressure, immediately retreated its scorching offensive.
The flames on Wu Tian's body began to vanish rapidly, and with the restoration of the Divine Doctor's power, his condition finally recovered somewhat.
He knew very well that this was the time for a desperate counterattack!
So he roared, forcefully pointing the Thunder God's Scepter at the Five Circles of Crimson Flame Fire!
Rumble!
The thunderous roar of the sky contained infinite majesty, and under the power of the Thunder God's Scepter, the Five Circles of Crimson Flame Fire actually began to tremble violently!
"Holy Dragon Demon Slaying Sword! Break for me!"
Wu Tian shouted at the top of his lungs!
The Holy Dragon Demon Slaying Sword, which had been in a declining state, instantly regained its might!
It let out a deafening dragon roar, then with a final surge, it fiercely charged towards the Five Circles of Crimson Flame Fire!
Boom!
In an instant, lightning and fire exploded together, and the entire mountaintop erupted in a sky-shattering explosion!
