Shen Fei's vision blurred, and suddenly a wave of heat hit him, but the next moment a refreshing coolness spread through his body.
Given his current physical strength and resistance to the Five Elements,
this wave of heat was not a problem for him.
Instead, his interface displayed a new debuff.
[Burning: While in a hot environment, taking fire damage, stamina consumption increases by 30%, non-fire attribute energy attack damage reduced by 40%]
[Dungeon—Flame Demon Rift]
[Level: Difficult Level (Item drop rate +100%, XP bonus 100%)]
[Limit: 5 people]
[Clear Record: None]
When he entered, he briefly reviewed the dungeon's information.
The Flame Demon Rift is divided into three stages: Magma Plain, Lava Fountains, and Flame Demon Canyon.
The crafting materials come from a place called 'Flame Demon Abyss,' taken from there, and the dungeon is a projection of part of the Abyss, a fact acknowledged by the majority.
But the true Abyss is countless times vaster than a single dungeon, otherwise, it wouldn't have been possible to leave Blue Star's Professionals in such a state.
The most distinctive feature of this 'Flame Demon Rift' is its environment, seen now by Shen Fei as a deep red landscape, with the air itself seeming to burn and distort.
A sulfuric smell greeted him.
"Special environment, continuous weakening, no wonder people pursue fire resistance and need fire attribute professions..."
If not belonging to such professions, the power of skills would be greatly diminished, and one would also be affected by the hot environment, with stamina depleting quickly.
But for Shen Fei, it was like walking on level ground.
The next moment.
Two giants covered in flames, appearing as though formed from magma, appeared, their bodies shining with bright magma.
Almost three meters tall, they roared upon seeing Shen Fei and his companions, as if spotting small dots.
[Magma Giant (lv.16)]
[Quality: Rare]
[Skills: Flame Headbutt lv.6 (Rare), Burning Aura lv.8 (Rare)]
"Hmm, indeed impressive! No wonder even the Jiang family-led teams have to attempt so many times... this Burning Aura is quite powerful."
Shen Fei felt the heat wave as the Magma Giants approached, even his fire resistance felt it, let alone everyone else.
But that was it.
"Little Ji, Little Cang! Make a move!"
With that, the previously small Vast Heaven Venerable instantly unlocked, with an even larger figure appearing in front of the once massive Magma Giants.
Not only that, a terrifying aura was wantonly unleashed.
The two Magma Giants didn't even have time to use their skills; the next moment, a fist struck each, instantly smashing them to pieces.
"Charge!"
Shen Fei wasted no time, using the Five Elements Great Escape to rush toward the distant canyon.
Meanwhile, the Empress floated in the air, with endless flames gathering in her hands the next moment.
Vast Heaven Venerable also began running behind Shen Fei.
While running, its figure began to grow wildly, startling all the monsters along the way, only to witness a massive palm slap down.
Magma Giants, Molten Rock Beasts, were all crushed under this mighty blow.
The Vast Heaven Venerable, now stacked with many Legendary Terms, was so strong even Shen Fei couldn't fathom its full power.
And Vast Heaven Venerable and the Empress cooperated well, each clearing one side, the dungeon's monsters were vanquished before they could even appear.
In an instant, they reached the end of the first stage.
A giant, crystalline, red Fire Jade-formed spider appeared, roaring furiously.
But the next moment.
The Empress, following behind Shen Fei, reached out a hand and gently grasped.
The next moment.
Boom—!
The potent fire attributes within the environment were all seized by the Empress, complete with the Great Five Elements Skill and the Emperor Flame Ancient Body.
In this flame-rich place,
she was akin to a supreme Empress.
In an instant,
a giant hand of azure flames clutched the Fire Jade Spider, squeezing fiercely, with the grating sound of breaking jade echoing incessantly.
Shen Fei couldn't even discern the spider's attributes before it was destroyed.
"Master, continue! No creature can block your path!"
The Empress said with a smile.
Shen Fei nodded, continuing to maneuver the Five Elements Great Escape, crossing the Magma Plain and entering the Lava Fountains.
This Lava Fountains area was even more extreme compared to the Magma Plain.
The Magma Plain was very hot, with magma flowing all around.
But the Lava Fountains had magma erupting everywhere; if one was unlucky, they could be hit directly.
Life would be thrown to chance.
But Shen Fei instantly activated the Spirit Blood Shield.
A crystal-clear, blood-colored shield enveloped Shen Fei entirely.
This was formed from 10% of the Vital Qi of Vast Heaven Venerable.
Shen Fei saw the nearly several feet-wide protective shield and smiled.
Let's see if this lava can break the shield first!
He didn't even need to worry about the spewing lava and continued charging into the depths of the lava fountain.
Meanwhile, the figure of Vast Heaven Venerable kept running and was already nearing twenty meters tall.
From afar, it looked like a building.
The monsters emerging from the lava fountain were like little kids under the palm of Vast Heaven Venerable, getting slapped down one by one, no harder than humans swatting mosquitoes.
'Boom!'
'Boom!'
'Boom!'
...
Vast Heaven Venerable's running created a thunderous rumble, and the entire ground trembled!
He knew his master intended to complete the dungeon quickly.
Since he couldn't fly, to gain the strongest power in the final stage.
He ran while killing monsters, and with the Combat Saint Soul, Vast Heaven Venerable could swiftly adjust to the battle needs and requirements.
He could quickly locate enemies and figure out how to strike them while running.
The five-colored spiritual light instantly reached the end of the second stage, where there was a massive magma lake that seemed to sense Shen Fei's presence.
An enormous creature was about to leap out of the magma lake, stirring up countless waves of molten heat.
But a giant hand was faster, pressing down hard on the magma lake.
The arm, like a dragon, was covered with layers of golden energy, completely isolating the high-temperature lava.
"Boom!"
The magma lake erupted in thousand-layered waves.
Molten Giant: ???
What just happened?
How did I just get out and was slapped back in?
But the next moment, a terrifying force was crushing his entire body, and even his magma couldn't protect him.
The Molten Giant of the second stage didn't even manage to emerge from the magma lake before being annihilated.
Meanwhile, Shen Fei had already reached the third stage, the Flame Demon Canyon.
This place was extraordinarily dangerous.
Even the Jiang Family had attempted to conquer it numerous times without finding a way to counter it.
But for Shen Fei.
Boss or no boss makes no difference, especially not on difficult difficulty.
After Shen Fei entered the Flame Demon Canyon, a terrifying Flame Giant emerged from the center of the canyon, its voice booming like a bell.
"Damn human, you dare to kill my subordinates!"
"Give up, the great monarch protects me, you are..."
The next moment.
A red lotus appeared, and simultaneously, a palm covering almost half the Flame Demon Canyon pressed down, treating the lotus like a ball.
"Boom!"
Terrifying flames burst from the gaps of the giant palm, spreading outwards as waves of fire.
['Deep City Region' Professional, cleared the difficult level 'Flame Demon Rift,' time taken 3 minutes 12 seconds]
[First clear of Flame Demon Rift difficult level, special reward: dungeon chest *1]
[New record set for this dungeon, the record will be etched on the leaderboard. Would you like to leave your information?]
"Shencheng First High School!"
Shen Fei didn't even give the Flame Demon General time to speak, and simultaneously, a flash of light passed over Shen Fei.
"The dungeon experience is much less than the Abyss! Luckily, there's the Rolling Wealth term, otherwise, this might have been a bit of a waste of time."
The Empress followed behind him, killing enemies while also gathering the dropped equipment, tossing everything green and white to Vast Heaven Venerable.
...
Outside, amidst the idle crowd, someone occasionally glanced at the stone monument beside the dungeon.
Ordinary section — [Yun City Feng Family, 1 hour 36 minutes 32 seconds]
Elite section — [Shencheng Jiang Family, 2 hours 54 minutes 19 seconds]
"Whoa, a new record appeared!"
Someone exclaimed with surprise, and everyone's eyes turned to look, wondering if it was the earlier entrants?
But didn't they all come out already?
The Jiang Family, Su Family, and Wang Family hadn't been in there long!
At this moment, a flash of fire appeared in the difficult section.
A line of information showed up.
[Shencheng First High School, 3 minutes 12 seconds]
Everyone was stunned.
No way, dude.
How is your difficult record faster than the ordinary level, and can dungeons really be completed in less than 5 minutes?
Five minutes without any monsters, and walking still wouldn't be fast enough!
