The legendary warrior novel Chapter 152

Thanks to the shield covering his body which had been generated by the Flame Zone, Ricky could bear the high temperature and so he could swim his way to go deeper and deeper under the lava pool. However, controlled and guided by the Flame Zone, Ricky couldn't find any signs that he was going to be allowed to resurface anytime soon. The Flame Zone kept pushing him to go down, as if the bottom of this lava pool would soon be reached. Despite his belief in its mighty power to protect him, this growing depth in the lava pool made it impossible not to worry about his own safety. "How far down does the Flame Zone intend to lead me? It has been quite a while since it pulled me into the molten lava from the surface of the pool," Ricky asked himself as he began to feel panic. The high temperature around him was reaching an extreme.

Despite the protection from the Flame Zone, Ricky had to admit the truth that no matter how powerful the Flame Zone was, sooner or later, he might not survive from the extremely high heat.

To his amazement, he finally was allowed to stop after half an hour of diving.

Looking at his surroundings, Ricky could at first find nothing but the molten lava everywhere. It seemed boundless.

Then he took a close look towards a particular direction. He found a huge cave was there, several meters in front of him. Around the huge cave, mysterious fire was burning. Even if he was some distance from the cave, Ricky could still feel the high temperature, which he speculated might be even higher than the temperature of the lava he was in.

He immediately got cold feet and couldn't help but tremble at this. However, unlike Ricky, the Flame Zone seemed to want to approach the cave fire. In Ricky's mind, the Flame Zone expressed a sense of excitement, stirring restlessly.

Feeling this, Ricky finally realized why the Flame Zone guided him so hastily deep down here.

'So interesting! It looks like the cave fire attracts the Flame Zone. But what about the inside? Will there be something even more unexpected if I enter the cave?' Ricky thought, broadening the possibilites. By the time Ricky snapped back to reality from the Flame Zone, he found that he already stood in front of the entrance into the cave.

At the moment, the fire surrounding the entrance burned fiercely, preventing anyone from entering the cave.

However, Ricky's curiosity got the best of him and he decided to move forward regardless of the fire. Before he could have a chance to embark on his exploration of the cave's interior, the fire at the entrance turned even more intense. Other than that, the fire even started to spread its range toward Ricky's direction, as if it were alive and would soon morph into a living creature!

Meanwhile, a supernatural phenomenon took place. Between Ricky and the entrance, a large empty space came into sight, as the large amount of lava moved its way out of the space that it used to occupy.

"Roar!!!"

The fire rose higher and higher, and then ten giant fiery dragons flew out from the fire and charged toward Ricky.

Seeing such an ominous attack, Ricky's heart began to thump faster as he felt the danger coming his way. 'Damn it!!! I should have been careful about the fire. It seems that the fire is alive and I have just angered it unintentionally. Am I simply going to die here?' That was the first thought that crossed his mind.

However, the Flame Zone created by his regained spiritual meridian was capable of far more than Ricky could imagine! Right before the terrifying fiery dragons reached Ricky, the protective flame shield abruptly engaged itself around Ricky. This shield, which was originally released from the Flame Zone to guard Ricky from the extremely hot environment, functioned again for a higher purpose!

Centered on Ricky's body, countless lines of bright lights containing great energy and power, burst out like millions of sharp sparks. In the face of such a powerful attack, those fiery dragons could do nothing but turn back into their original form—the intense fire!

Ricky heaved a deep sigh at the result. But before he could express his relief, the protective flame seemed to have no intention of giving up. To take advantage of the weakness of its enemies, the protective flame gathered strong power provided by the Flame Zone and transformed itself into an invisible but huge net. All of the fire around the entrance of the cave was all wrapped under this.

As a consequence, the fire became weaker and weaker until it totally disappeared.

The huge cave finally exposed itself without anything but a barrier remaining at the entrance. That barrier prevented the lava from entering the inside.

Ricky was stupefied to see how the raging fire around the cave now had all been absorbed by the Flame Zone.

In other words, it had been totally devoured by the Flame Zone.

After that, both the Flame Zone and the Devourer Zone began to change at the same time.

The Devouring Fire seemed to lose control and flooded out of the Devourer Zone, and then flowed into the Flame Zone through Ricky's regained spiritual meridian. Then, the process of merging began to take place!

The process lasted for quite some time, until there was no more Devouring Fire left in both the Devourer Zone and the Flame Zone.

But even if he suffered the loss of the Devouring Fire, Ricky gained something even better. Right now, he could feel the flame in the Flame Zone grew more strong and powerful than ever. It was as if with the combination of the two different types of fire, a whole new powerful fire was born in the Flame Zone.

When the Flame Zone absorbed the fire from the cave, it analyzed and recognized the cave fire and sent feedback to Ricky's mind.

That was called the Heaven Melting Fire, a very sacred sort of flame whose appearance coincided with the birth of the heaven and the earth. It was almost as strong and powerful as any other peculiar fires in this world.

Besides, the Heaven Melting Fire was also regarded as a symbol of a sort of Great Dragon, the Heaven Melting Dragon, which always surrounded by such fire.
