“Boom—!”

The ground ahead suddenly shook violently. A massive crack tore open without warning, and scorching magma shot into the air like a volcanic fountain.

In the next instant, three colossal figures crawled out of the裂缝.

They were lava giant apes—each over fifteen feet tall, their bodies formed from blackened rock veined with crimson molten lava. Heat rippled around them, and from each of their massive frames surged an aura at the peak of the seventh rank of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

Worse still, they weren’t alone.

Perched densely across the shoulders and backs of each giant ape were hundreds of palm-sized crimson bats—Flame Bats.

Their wings burned at the edges, their fangs glinted sharply, and they moved with terrifying speed. The most dangerous part was their ability to spit Erosion Spirit Fire, a special flame that corroded protective immortal light and even the spiritual glow of magic artifacts.
