"Boom!"
After Lu Chen fell into a coma, the Spiritual Fire rushed into his Dantian, rapidly entwining around his Dao Platform!
The Dao Platform was shaped like a long spear, resembling a towering pillar holding up the sky.
The Spiritual Fire swiftly coiled upwards and soon immersed itself within!
Even Lu Chen himself didn't know that the Spiritual Fire and that strand of Earth Fire were engaged in a life-and-death struggle!
If the Spiritual Fire won, then Lu Chen could live.
But if the Earth Fire prevailed...
Lu Chen wouldn't die, but his Dantian would be completely destroyed!
...
Meanwhile.
At the back mountain of the Casting Gear Pavilion, at the waist of a particularly inconspicuous peak.
Zhu Chongjiu knelt on the ground in front of an unremarkable cave dwelling.
He had been there for the time it took an incense stick to burn, yet he had not spoken a word.
With his Core Formation Stage realm, he could have transmitted his voice inside.
