Chapter 1098: Solo Venture
As soon as he set foot onto the plaza, his brows immediately furrowed slightly. There was intense heat rising up from underfoot, as if he were stepping barefoot over hot coals.
However, after walking a few steps, he quickly acclimated himself to the sensation, and it didn't take long before he reached the end of the plaza.
He stepped onto the stone staircase leading up to the fiery red palace, then looked up to discover a plaque that read "Origin Fire Palace" in antiquated characters, above which was a copper tablet with a strange-looking flame symbol engraved onto it.
Han Li's expression suddenly changed slightly upon seeing this, and he hurriedly sprang to the side as if he were trying to evade something.
Immediately thereafter, the flame symbol on the tablet flashed momentarily, and a beam of crimson fire that was around the same thickness as a finger shot out of the tablet toward Han Li's glabella.
Even though he had already anticipated this, he was still unable to evade in time, and the beam of fire struck his glabella, sending intense pain spearing into his head.
Despite his incredible physical constitution, the beam of fire was able to instantly burn through his skin and flesh to reveal the bone underneath.
Han Li felt as if his skull were about to melt, and the pain was utterly excruciating.
In this dire situation, a silver flame erupted out of his glabella to clash against the beam of crimson fire.
Han Li's pain was eased significantly with the emergence of the Essence Fire Raven, and his skin and flesh began to quickly heal.
The Essence Fire Raven let loose a loud cry as it rose up toward the copper tablet, devouring the beam of fire before pouncing onto the tablet itself.
