Chapter 1276: Borrow

Ryu felt the world before him warp and he stepped out, he was within the depths of a stretch of lava. The last time he had been here, he had felt nothing but an undying heat, but it seemed that this time, it hardly affected him.

Ryu had a feeling that this lava wasn't very hot to begin with, it just happened to be an exact replica of the world his mind had projected when he was within that golden pillar pool. This was probably a failsafe in case someone managed to make it back here without passing the test of the Nine Pillar Flame Sect. That way, one would mistake the world that had just been in their mind with this one.

Thinking to this point, Ryu's gaze couldn't help but flicker.
