Hearing the System prompt sound in his mind, Sun Xuan’s eyes lit up slightly.

This ghost-like flame creature should be the Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoot.

Unexpectedly, after devouring this Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoot, the Yin Corpse Poison Fire could actually improve its quality.

This caused a trace of joy to involuntarily flash through Sun Xuan's heart.

If that is the case, then after the Yin Corpse Poison Fire devours a large amount of these Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoots,

perhaps it can cause a qualitative improvement in the power of the Yin Corpse Poison Fire.

And in this Land of Fire Element, to say the least, these ghost-like Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoots are practically as many as one could possibly want.

Thinking of this, Sun Xuan increased his mana input, driving the Yin Corpse Poison Fire to burn even more vigorously.

Streams of flame vortexes formed by the Yin Corpse Poison Fire continuously emerged all around.

Then, accepting all comers, it devoured and fused the Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoots within.

As the Yin Corpse Poison Fire fused with more and more Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoots,

the dark green Yin Corpse Poison Fire slowly became tinged with a hint of eerie, desolate gray.

However, although the Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoots in this region were still endlessly rushing towards Sun Xuan like moths to a flame,

yet after the endless devouring by the Yin Corpse Poison Fire, they were starting to become somewhat scarce.

Seeing this scene, Sun Xuan, while controlling the Yin Corpse Poison Fire to continue devouring the Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoots,

strode deeper into the Land of Fire Element.

The environment of the Land of Fire Element was unusually monotonous; aside from the scorched, blackened rocks,

there were ubiquitous magma and flames, as well as Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoots constantly surging from all directions.

As Sun Xuan continued to penetrate deeper into the Land of Fire Element, the Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoots also became increasingly numerous.

Sun Xuan was surrounded by a layer of dark green flame vortex laced with gray fire rays.

Outside the flame vortex were densely packed Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoots crowded together.

One could see heads with frantic yet numb eyes filling every inch of space outside Sun Xuan's body like tadpoles.

Then they were rapidly devoured like a meat grinder by the vortex formed by the Yin Corpse Poison Fire.

If this scene were seen by someone with trypophobia, they would probably go crazy on the spot.

Sun Xuan, however, paid no attention to this terrifying scene and continued walking expressionlessly toward the depths of the Land of Fire Element.

Meanwhile, in the void passage leading to the First Pass of the Ancient God Ruins, Wang Lin had already hidden inside the Heaven-Defying Space to Cultivate.

The Yao Beast riot in the void passage caused Wang Lin to encounter danger several times.

Wang Lin, possessing extremely high vigilance, immediately gave up on continuing toward the First Pass of the Ancient God Ruins.

He then immediately hid inside the Heaven-Defying Space, going into seclusion to Cultivate.

He planned to wait until the Yao Beast riot in the void calmed down before moving forward again.

At this moment, Wang Lin still had several Huadi Pills and one Liying Pill in his possession that he hadn't consumed.

Now, under the time acceleration of the Heaven-Defying Space, Wang Lin rapidly refined the Huadi Pills in his hand.

Under the stimulation of the Medicinal Pill, his cultivation base also grew rapidly, making a firm push toward the realm of the Core Formation Late Stage.

Less than ten days had passed in real time outside, while several months had already passed within the Heaven-Defying Space.

Right at this moment, the mana inside the body of Wang Lin, who was in seclusion within the Heaven-Defying Space, suddenly surged.

His robes instantly fluttered without any wind, and a formidable Aura diffused from within his body.

An imposing might of the Core Formation Late Stage manifested from within Wang Lin's body.

Wang Lin's eyes immediately snapped open, and a flash of sharp light flickered through them.

"Core Formation Late Stage, it has finally arrived!"

A trace of a smile appeared on Wang Lin's lips as he spoke softly.

At this moment, Sun Xuan was sitting cross-legged on the scorching rocks of the Land of Fire Element.

Silently waiting for the Yin Corpse Poison Fire to completely devour and absorb all the surrounding Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoots.

At this moment, aside from its core flame center, the remaining parts of the Yin Corpse Poison Fire had all been dyed an eerie gray.

As the gray flames flickered slightly, an eerie, desolate, and bone-chilling Concept of burning everything to ashes continuously spread outward.

Right at this moment, Sun Xuan's gaze shifted slightly, and the System prompt sound suddenly rang out in his mind:

"Disciple Wang Lin's cultivation base has reached the Core Formation Late Stage, triggering a ten-thousand-fold cultivation return!

Please select the cultivation return method."

Hearing the System prompt sound ring out, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of Sun Xuan's mouth.

He thought to himself that Wang Lin's cultivation improvement speed was indeed not slow.

Moreover, this ten-thousand-fold returned cultivation was arriving at just the right time for Sun Xuan.

Sun Xuan knew that after passing the First Pass of the Ancient God Ruins, the second pass was the Forbidden Mountain.

The Forbidden Mountain was a mountain of Restrictions, with Restrictions proliferating everywhere—three Restrictions for every single step.

It was an extremely dangerous place.

Even with Sun Xuan's current Soul Transformation Stage cultivation and strength, charging straight through without understanding Restrictions would still entail immense danger.

Although previously, after slaying Gu Lan in the void passage, he had snatched eight restriction flags from Gu Lan's hands,

these eight restriction flags, in the hands of someone proficient in the Dao of Restrictions like Gu Lan, possessed extraordinary power.

However, falling into the hands of someone like Sun Xuan who knew nothing about Restrictions, they were no different from fire-poking sticks.

Wanting to rely on them to pass through the Forbidden Mountain was no different from seeking death.

However, with the ten-thousand-fold cultivation returned from Wang Lin's advancement to the Core Formation Late Stage, the result would be different.

A smile played on the corner of Sun Xuan's mouth as he softly muttered inwardly:

"Deduce and elevate the cultivation of Formation Restrictions!"

The moment his voice fell, streams of strange energy continuously surged into Sun Xuan's mind.

Scenes of knowledge Systems related to Formations and Restrictions instantly and continuously flashed through Sun Xuan's mind.

Then, as if they had been practiced by Sun Xuan countless times, they were deeply imprinted in his mind.

Sun Xuan's Restriction cultivation was rapidly improving at an astonishingly exaggerated pace.

After a period of time, the System prompt sound rang out again in Sun Xuan's mind:

"Deduction and elevation of Formation Restriction cultivation successful, consuming two thousand folds of the returned cultivation.

Your Formation Restriction cultivation has significantly improved, and you have obtained the Restriction Divine Ability: Eye of Forbidden Gods!"

After the System prompt sound faded from Sun Xuan's mind, his body seemed to be draped in a layer of illusory bubbles.

Streams of Restriction runes flickered in and out of view across the surface of Sun Xuan's body.

Sun Xuan's eyes were tightly closed, and an upright crack abruptly emerged between his brows.

Then the crack abruptly split open to both sides, and a beam of black Restriction divine light instantly shot out from within the vertical-eye-like crack.

At first, the black Restriction light was merely a thin beam.

As it traveled farther, the distant end expanded circularly and grew wider.

However, after just the blink of an eye, a large expanse of black Restriction light illuminated the mid-air.

The Zhuyan Spirit Flame Offshoots illuminated by the black Restriction light instantly stopped their frantically surging forms.

They then stood blankly in place, completely motionless, just as if they had been struck by an immobilization spell.
