The air above the volcano was emitting heatwaves that could normally turn an ordinary person to ashes in just a second...

It was an overwhelming heat, and if this continued, it would be very dangerous even for Immortals like them.

After all, there was still a limit to their elemental resistance…

They might have a long lifespan because their bodies had already changed after ascension, but that didn't mean that they were invincible. They had to be very careful.

Kaela's gaze hardened as she tightened the grip on her staff…

Around her, the gathered Lesser Immortals were preparing as they used their Shadow Divinity to prepare a quick but powerful attack against the Flame-Type Demonic Creatures within the lava…

On the other hand, the five Earth Immortals, including Vale, would have to work together with the Sky Immortals to deal with twelve Demon Saints who had already sensed their presence.

"Wait!"

Suddenly, Kaela was shocked as she noticed what the Demon Saints were trying to do!

"They're fusing them with the flames themselves… turning the lava into their battlefield."

As she finished speaking, the ground shook as a colossal flame serpent burst out of the lava…

It turned out that the Demonic Creatures had melted themselves to create one huge flame serpent!

With the support of the 12 Demon Saints! This would be a difficult battle for the 20 Shadow Immortals!

***

As the flame serpent appeared, the volcano seemed to have erupted as numerous molten rocks and lava were thrown out…

Each droplet of magma that fell to the ground burned holes and released pillars of smoke that turned the sky darker.

Rooaar!

The serpent's roar created another shockwave that disrupted their movements.

It wasn't a simple beast at all, and Vale believed that it could deal with multiple Lesser Immortals at the same time.

It was a creature made for spreading destruction!

Kaela's staff pulsed with shadow energy as she thrust it forward. "Form the Eclipse Wall!"

At once, the two other Sky Immortals released their divinity and fused into a single veil of darkness. They then created a barrier to suppress the raging heat.

Vale watched as a wave of shadows surged upward, forming a colossal wall to block off any path of escape for the Demons.

At the same time, Vale also noticed that Kaela's shadow divinity was actually the strongest among the three! After combining them, the overwhelming presence of the flame serpent dissipated.

'As expected of the third stage of Celestials.' Vale muttered to himself. Kaela, who should only be 30 years old, was truly impressive.

Well, with an Arcane Immortal as a mentor or support, it was probably not that surprising how she managed to reach immortality and combine Spell Models without a system to help her.

Rooaar!

At this time, the flame serpent struck. The Lesser Immortals used various Shadow Spells to stop it or at least, lessen the impact on the Eclipse Wall…

Boom!

Soon, the massive body of the flame serpent crashed against the Eclipse Wall.

Their spells didn't work that well! Half of the Lesser Immortals staggered back, coughing blood as they felt the backlash from their shattered Shadow Divinity!

Vale, standing in the center of the formation, raised his hand.

Suddenly, his Shadow Divinity expanded outward, supporting even the Eclipse Wall that the Sky Immortals created…

"Focus on suppressing the serpent," Vale said as he looked at the Serpent and the Demon Saints…

'It's better to finish this quickly…

"I'll deal with its core..." Vale said as he planned to use his Divine Extraction to stop the Flame Serpent. Once it was gone, the twelve Demon Saints would be easier to deal with.

After all, the Lesser Immortals and Earth Immortals are strong. They have many Immortal Spells and even some spells at the same level of his Umbral Dominion.

This was obvious since all of the Earth Immortals were required to have the one powerful spell from the fusion of four perfect Spells. However, shadow spells were unfortunately not that powerful against the Flame Serpent.

Due to this, the other Immortals couldn't act recklessly or they might be devoured by the Flame Serpent. Even Kaela and her two bodyguards had to be careful.

Vale saw through this and decided to eliminate the one that they couldn't easily deal with.

But the Demon Saints had anticipated this as well...

Before Vale could get closer to the Serpent, twelve figures emerged cloaked in dark flames. They then spread out, surrounding Vale in an instant…

"Shadow Immortals…" one of the Saints sneered.

"This volcano is your grave."

They raised their hands as one and soon, Lava surged upward like a wave of ocean that was about to drown everything!

"Scatter!" Kaela shouted…

Vale didn't move.

While the other Immortals scattered from Kaela's command, Vale stood still, watching as the tide of lava surged upward even if it was threatening to consume them all.

He just took a deep breath and soon, cold flame began to flicker across his body.

In the next instant, white and black flames erupted from him…

His aura rose sharply…

It was Netherflame Ascendant!

It was one of his fused spells that came from Ash Resurrection, Demonic Transformation, Cosmic Sight, and True Astral Chains.

This Spell transforms his body with the protection of black and white flames. Lastly, his Sealing Abilities would reach the peak!

The lava ocean that had been conjured by the twelve Demon Saints surged toward him—yet the moment it touched those strange divine flames, it seemed to just pass through his body!

The Demon Saints who were sneering before suddenly faltered…

"What is that power—?!"

Kaela's eyes widened, but only for a moment. She quickly gathered herself, pointing her staff forward as her two Sky Immortal bodyguards appeared at her side.

Suddenly, chains of darkness wrapped around three of the Demon Saints, aiming to attack Vale!

"Focus on that annoying Flame Serpent!" she ordered sharply. "We'll hold them here!"

The Lesser and Earth Immortals gritted their teeth and followed her lead.

Their Shadow Spells rained down, intercepting the Demon Saints' movements, giving Vale the opening he needed.

Vale smiled and didn't hesitate to move…

Just like that, he reached the Flame Serpent's head with the Netherflame, cloaking or protecting his body from the heat!

Needless to say, he used his Sealing Ability to block the heat that was coming off the serpent!

Then, Vale started with his Divine Extraction!
