The woman's outburst made Hong Haoyu realise the severity of what Lu Zheng was doing.
"Father must know of this!" The female tore open a spatial passage and flew through it in an instant.
"Void Passage realm!" Hong Haoyu and Themur chorused.
Lannah inched closer to the edge of the volcano and peered into it: "It's been thirteen days, will he ever come out?"
…..
Outside the tall and magnificent volcano stood five people; Hong Haoyu, Themur, Lannah, the woman from before and a man with yellow and red hair.
"He still hasn't come out?" The woman whom Hong Haoyu had learned that her name was Olina asked.
"Hmm" Hong Haoyu nodded.
The man that stood beside Olina revealed a streak of his aura and sent it into the volcano.
Although his aura was fiery and strong, he controlled it to its minimum strength.
As expected, Lu Zheng swam to the surface and poked out his head only to see five people peering down at him.
"What? Is there something on my face?" Lu Zheng asked awkwardly.
Hong Haoyu shook his head and flew into the volcano to pick Lu Zheng up.
As he flew in, strong ice Qi was emitted from his body that froze the surface of the volcano.
The fiery nature of the Earth Flames within the volcano was instantly subdued.
"He froze the surface of the ten thousand year old Earth Flame!" Olina's lithe body shook visibly from shock.
The man whose name was Iokepa and was Olina's father and the King of Blazing Flame Palace only shook his head.
"Juniors these days are terrifying"
Iokepa had first heard that Lu Zheng was swimming in the ten thousand year old Earth Flame in Blazing Flame Palace's volcano which had aroused his interest to the extent that he stepped out of seclusion.
Now, just before his very eyes, Hong Haoyu had frozen the entire surface of the ten thousand year old Earth Flame in thick ice.
This was a feat that an ice path Void Passage realm expert might even find impossible to achieve.
Yet Hong Haoyu's aura was only at the Sky realm.
Iokepa did not know that Lu Zheng had the Vermillion Bird Race's Regal Bloodline and Hong Haoyu had the Supreme Ice Physique.
Both of them were physical embodiments of the secrets of fire path and ice path.
Hong Haoyu brought Lu Zheng out of the volcano and landed before Iokepa and the others. Only then did the ice in the volcano thaw out.
"You really are in the Domain Formation realm" Iokepa stroke his chin as he peered at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng suddenly felt like he had no secrets before the man.
The proud nature of the Vermillion Bird Race that disdained being overlooked exploded causing Lu Zheng's blood to boil and churn as his physical form morphed.
The strong Vermillion True Flame that revolved around Lu Zheng stunned Hong Haoyu and he quickly covered himself entirely in thick ice to protect himself.
A dual hell of fire and frost formed right before Iokepa and the others that they were surprised and shook internally.
When Hong Haoyu urged his ice Qi to the fullest, his Supreme Ice Physique's aura leaked for a moment but that short moment was enough time for Iokepa to sense it.
Even so, what surprised Iokepa the most was Lu Zheng's change in form.
"A fire path bloodline! A strong fire path bloodline!" Iokepa blurted out in shock.
Lannah and Themur only stared at Iokepa in surprise.
"Bloodline?" Olina muttered quizzically. A flash of light shimmered in her eyes as she understood; "Now it makes sense"
