"Come in, Gale Fang Wolf."

As the Paper Puppet stopped training, Ye Bai hurriedly pulled the Gale Fang Wolf, almost roasted, back into the Beast Card.

The Paper Puppet could mimic the Beast Card with its paper, and its strength was formidable. After being cleansed by the Thunder Pool, all its eerie Yin Qi was washed away.

Now, it had a feeling akin to a god or a Buddha.

The Paper Puppet absorbed Big Gray and the Gale Fang Wolf into its body.

Its eyes, like glazed jewels, gazed at the now transformed Secret Realm.

"Ye Bai, I have a vague bad feeling."

"If you don't leave within a day, something bad will happen."

The Paper Puppet bit its lip slightly and spoke to Ye Bai.

At this moment, it looked more and more like a human.

"I understand. I'm currently searching for the Heart of Magma. Once I find it, I'll leave immediately."

"Paper Puppet, don't worry, I will prioritize my safety."

Ye Bai knew what the Paper Puppet was worried about.

After the volcanic eruption, the entire Secret Realm was unrecognizable.

Once lush and green, now nothing but scorched earth and ashes remained.

The sky was obscured by thick smoke, firelight stained half the sky red.

The earth trembled, in the roaring sound, lava slithered like a giant serpent, devouring all green and life.

Lava flowed across the surface of the Secret Realm like rivers.

Occasionally, a solitary bird flew by from the gray sky, its cries desolate and distant.

It wasn't long before this bird was hit by numerous fireballs the size of basketballs, its body exploded into nothing.

After the lava creatures devoured all the living exotic beasts,

they began devouring each other.

These lava creatures received a piece of information; if they devoured each other, the final victor would become the Lava Lord.

The Lava Lord was the leader among Tier Six exotic beasts, and when fully powered, could even withstand a Tier Seven exotic beast.

It was undoubtedly a colossal existence.

Even the Paper Puppet admitted that even if it took action itself, it was not guaranteed victory.

Because the Lava Lord's flames countered the Paper Puppet's Yin paper.

Once a Lava Lord appeared, the Paper Puppet would immediately activate the power of the Space Rune to teleport Ye Bai away.

Fang Yu sat on the back of a Hell Demon Fish, surveying the area, searching for Ye Bai's whereabouts.

The Hell Demon Fish was a hellish creature, its body flat with two fins like bat wings, a tail long and whip-like, gill slits wide.

Being a hellish creature, it usually elevated itself through devouring magma.

"Strange, where exactly is Ye Bai hiding? Why can't I find any trace of him yet?"

"This guy is just too good at hiding."

The Hell Demon Fish whipped its tail against an attacking lava creature.

The body of the lava creature broke in half, and the Hell Demon Fish wrapped its tail around a Fire Crystal the size of a pigeon egg, stuffing it into its mouth to chew.

"Phew, one more round of patrolling, it's getting hotter here. I feel like the temperature is at least fifty degrees."

"If I stay here, I'll soon die of dehydration."

Fang Yu, although wanting to eliminate Ye Bai, knew there were many ways to do so, and he wouldn't choose the one most disadvantageous to himself.

By this time, Ye Bai had reached the place where the lake once was.

This was thanks to his talent, which allowed him to remember the surrounding terrain.

However, the volcanic eruption caused devastating damage to the surroundings, so it was difficult for Ye Bai to find this place.

It had now become a sea of lava.

Ye Bai summoned the Little Charcoal Dog.

The Little Charcoal Dog had successfully refined Purgatory Fire from a dark skull stone and obtained Hellfire from the ring Zhang Jian gave Ye Bai.

Now, the Little Charcoal Dog only needed the Heart of Magma to evolve into a Nether Wolf.

Moreover, this was the ideal place for the Little Charcoal Dog's evolution.

So unless it was the most critical moment, Ye Bai would certainly not leave here.

He needed to protect the Little Charcoal Dog, ensuring its safe evolution.

As a Tier Five Pet Beast Master, Ye Bai was no longer an obstacle to the Little Charcoal Dog's evolution.

"Little Charcoal Dog, I believe in you, I believe you can complete your final evolution here."

"Once you find the Heart of Magma, don't hesitate to swallow it."

"I will be with you wholeheartedly, and if there is any danger, I will promptly pull you back into the Pet Beast Space."

Ye Bai spoke solemnly to the Little Charcoal Dog.

The Little Charcoal Dog nodded heavily.

It was abandoned from birth.

Picked up by Big Gray, and found a shred of peace in the Fang Yuan Cultivation House.

It was not afraid, even if it meant being shattered to pieces.

It loathed cowardice and timidity, it wished to acquire stronger power to guard Ye Bai.

At this moment, the lava surged like a turbulent sea.

The Little Charcoal Dog gritted its teeth, plunging into the lava.

"Go for it, Little Charcoal Dog, I believe you will succeed."

The Little Charcoal Dog was swiftly swallowed by the lava.

It could feel the searing Fire Energy continuously flowing into its body through its pores.

More precisely, into the crystal core in its brain.

"Little Charcoal Dog, go for it!"

Ye Bai clenched his fists, shouting loudly towards where the Little Charcoal Dog had disappeared.

Just then, the ground shook violently, a massive dark silhouette was teetering over from afar.

A wave of heat came over, and Ye Bai was instantly drenched in sweat.

"This big guy is here!"

Ye Bai's expression was rather unpleasant at this moment.

He was looking at the Lava Lord dozens of meters tall, knowing it was going to be a fierce battle.

This was his last battle before leaving the Secret Realm.

The only consolation was that it was only at Tier Five Peak and hadn't yet made the last step to become a powerful Tier Six Lava Lord.

"Paper Puppet, can you mimic the aura of the Heart of Magma and deceive the Lava Lord?"

Ye Bai asked the Paper Puppet.

The Paper Puppet nodded: "I can, but I can only maintain it for a quarter of an hour."

Ye Bai sighed with relief: "A quarter of an hour is enough."

"Paper Puppet, do you have a way to block the aura of the Heart of Magma?"

The Paper Puppet frowned: "Ye Bai, I can block it, but during this process, I need to dedicate a lot of energy to the blocking."

"That way, I'll easily neglect you."

"Once the aura of the Heart of Magma is lost, won't the Lava Lord target you for a hunt?"

"This Secret Realm has already turned into a lava zone, and here, the Lava Lord has a huge advantage. Aren't you being too reckless?"

The Paper Puppet disagreed with Ye Bai's excessive risk-taking.

This concerns inheritance.

"Don't worry, Paper Puppet, don't forget I have the Space Rune on me."

"If I run into danger, the Space Rune can take me out."

"Rest assured."

"There will be no problem."

"It might just trouble you to help me take the evolved small charcoal dog out."

Seeing Ye Bai's determined appearance, the Paper Puppet also found itself helpless.

It could only nod.

"Alright then."

Suddenly, there was a beating heart in the Paper Puppet's hand.

She placed it in Ye Bai's hand.

"This is the heart I mimicked using the Paperman Transformation Technique."

"The farther you run, the more thoroughly the aura of the Heart of Magma can be blocked."

The small charcoal dog soaked in the magma, it was like a fish in water.

Soaking in magma not only didn't discomfort the small charcoal dog, but gave it a feeling of comfort.

It felt like Fire Energy was its brother.

At the same time, a voice was calling out to it.

Like a wandering prodigal returning to its mother's embrace.

The closer the small charcoal dog got to the Heart of Magma, the more its cells cheered joyfully.

It could feel that the Heart of Magma was tailor-made for it.

An orange-red rhombus-shaped gem, throbbing like a heart, appeared.

The small charcoal dog swallowed it without a second thought.

So hot.

That was the small charcoal dog's thought.

It felt like it had swallowed a scorching sun.

The previously docile Fire Energy, at this moment, went out of control.

The enormous energy nearly ruptured the small charcoal dog's body.

The small charcoal dog felt its entire body's cells swollen due to the energy.

Its body was re-tempered by the Fire Energy.

The small charcoal dog felt more tortured than when tempering in the Thunder Pool.

But at this moment, the small charcoal dog had no time to think.

Now, the only thought in the small charcoal dog's mind was to get through it.

Otherwise, it would die from body explosion.

It couldn't let down Ye Bai's expectations.

With the belief in becoming stronger, it persisted.

All the cells in its body were tearing, and the small charcoal dog didn't know how long it took. It kept adapting to the fire element energy's transformation of its body.

By this time, Ye Bai had already grabbed the Paper Puppet's simulated Heart of Magma.

He rode on the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm mimicking Thunderlight Butterfly, galloping madly towards the distance like a runaway horse.
