The second heat section of the Flaming Sands Field was just as hot as the first one, if not hotter.
Xuan couldn't really tell since he had his Frost Stone, but he expected this artifact to stop working once he reached the third heat area or so.
After the conversation with the mysterious world master of the Flaming Sands Field, he'd been sent directly to this zone. He assumed the others who got sucked in with him also received the same treatment, minus the talk.
Naturally, the Flame Beasts he found in this area were also stronger and higher level. Unfortunately, they really couldn't do much against Xuan, who pretty much just cut them in half with his ridiculously strong Sword Qi. All Flame Beasts were made of raw fire, meaning their defense wasn't really that great—they just excelled at power, that's all.
