The corners of Tang Sen's mouth slowly curled up into a smile as he watched the Lava Lizards before him. He needed a large number of Energy Points to level up to begin with, so these Lava Lizards that could live beside the volcano absolutely could not be let off.
'Only, how many Energy Points can such Lava Lizards bring to me?' Tang Sen thought as he controlled the flames to envelop one Lava Lizard.
At this time, he had to talk about the benefits of devouring other flames. Tang Sen distinctly sensed that his capabilities had strengthened considerably. Even burning the Lava Lizards, creatures that lived on volcanoes, only took Tang Sen a breath's time.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host on burning a Lava Lizard. Energy Points +4,580."
'As expected, the Lava Lizards contain a huge amount of energy. Since this is the case, I shall not stand on ceremony.' Tang Sen no longer restrained the flames around him and had the flames envelop about 100 Lava Lizards, feeling the energy change in front of him.
Meanwhile, the system notifications by his ears essentially hadn't ceased.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host on burning a Lava Lizard. Energy Points +4,580."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host on burning a Lava Lizard. Energy Points +4,580."
…
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host on burning a Lava Lizard. Energy Points +4,580."
By the time Tang Sen burned all of the Lava Lizards in front of him, he had already accumulated a considerable sum of Energy Points. It was also because there really weren't any other living creatures near the volcano. Otherwise, he probably would've gained an even more terrifying number of Energy Points.
However, changes suddenly occurred at this time—
"Who is it? Who is it that is massacring my subjects?"
Tang Sen faltered when this voice sounded. Even Tang Sen did not think that these Lava Lizards, which lived by the volcano, actually had a master.
Upon hearing this voice, Tang Sen unconsciously took a step back. Although Tang Sen was not a timid person, he wasn't too willing to provoke others and create pointless conflict on such matters.
However, the current matter clearly could not be settled amicably. Tang Sen was also someone with a Godhead. He examined his conscience and decided that he would also fight to the death if someone was slaughtering his subjects.
Right where Tang Sen had taken a step back from earlier, a cluster of flames suddenly jumped out. Even though Tang Sen was a flame himself, he still shuddered after seeing flames appear where he had last stood.
Before Tang Sen could rejoice, he was almost struck by another flame. Though Tang Sen had already become a ball of flames now, he would still subconsciously react when he saw flames.
At this time, a cluster of flames appeared before Tang Sen. The flames grew bigger and bigger, finally condensing into a human figure.
The person gave Tang Sen a once-over. The contempt in his eyes was visible to Tang Sen. "You villain, how dare you cause trouble in my territory? You actually killed my subjects! You will pay the price for this!"
Tang Sen looked at the cluster of flames before him and couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"
"Who am I? I am Noxious Lava Fire. You killed my subjects, yet you don't even know who I am!? How laughable, but your life will be left here today as well."
Tang Sen watched Noxious Lava Fire in front of him. Upon hearing that the other party wanted to take his life, he let out a cold laugh. "Take my life? That would depend on whether you have the capability."
There was almost no need to say anything more. Before Tang Sen's words fell, the two's figures had already overlapped.
Tang Sen's flames—which were originally more restrained—also flared up at this point and unreservedly engaged with Noxious Lava Fire. It had to be said that Noxious Lava Fire's might was still immense.
Noxious Lava Fire was not at a disadvantage when the two parties' flames came into contact with one another.
Although Tang Sen wasn't too surprised, he knew that the sooner such battles ended, the better. The volcano's surroundings were Noxious Lava Fire's home ground in any case. Once Tang Sen was at a disadvantage, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Almost without the slightest hesitation, Tang Sen shouted, "System, strengthen!"
Due to this command, Tang Sen's flames suddenly intensified and perfectly wrapped around Noxious Lava Fire.
Even Noxious Lava Fire did not think that Tang Sen's flames would be this formidable. "Rascal, I've underestimated you! But is this all you can do?"
Noxious Lava Fire's flames instantly boomed, actually slightly exceeding Tang Sen's peak for a time. It was also at this point that a lotus flower suddenly bloomed, gracefully taking root on Noxious Lava Fire. It had clearly been waiting for this moment for some time.
The Blue Lotus Sword Song was Tang Sen's greatest killing move to begin with. He had relied on this to exterminate the Ghost Fire King easily. After merging with Ghost Fire King, the lotus's might was naturally boosted significantly.
As expected, Noxious Lava Fire's figure gradually started to turn into nothing following the Blue Lotus Sword Song's emergence. Originally, Noxious Lava Fire still had some things to say.
However, Noxious Lava Fire didn't manage to voice anything other than snarls since Tang Sen now had the scorching characteristic after fusing with the Devil Fire.
As the Blue Lotus Sword Song ended, Noxious Lava Fire also vanished bit by bit as it ceaselessly snarled.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host on burning Noxious Lava Fire. Gained 120 million Energy Points."
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host on burning Noxious Lava Fire. Obtained a new fire type, Noxious Lava Fire (Yellow Grade)!"
As Tang Sen burned down Noxious Lava Fire, changes also slowly happened to the environment. The first change was the temperature. Originally, due to the volcano's existence, the temperatures here essentially made it very difficult for living creatures to survive. A considerable number of people had also died because of the volcanic eruptions.
Due to Noxious Lava Fire vanishing, the temperatures here slowly dropped.
In the further areas, quite a number of living creatures could vaguely be seen poking their heads out to observe all this.
"The volcano disappeared!"
"The volcano disappeared!"
Soon after, such news slowly spread.
Tang Sen had no time to attend to this matter at this time. Instead, he had the system bring out his attribute screen.
Super Flame Evolution System:
Host: Tang Sen
Race: Deep Green Clear Flame (Black Grade)
Intensity: Level Two
Energy points: 20,565,624
Godly Faith: 8,795

Level: Stage 1 (Leveling up requires 100,000 points of faith. Requirement multiplied by ten times for every level up.)

Tang Sen took one glance at his attribute screen. It could be said that he had a handsome income.
"Ding! Detected other fire types. Devour or not?"
"Devour." Tang Sen—who had tasted the sweetness of this feature—naturally wouldn't hesitate.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host on successfully merging with Noxious Lava Fire (Yellow Grade). A special flame effect is produced—fire toxin."
"Fire toxin: Add fire toxin to attacks."
However, there was more than one piece of good news.
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host on hitting 10,000 points in Strength of Faith. Unlocking Godhead. Please name Godhead."
It was because the volcano ceased to exist after Tang Sen exterminated Noxious Lava Fire. This changed the lives of many people; thus, Strength of Faith was naturally produced as a result.
Tang Sen pondered for a moment and said, "Let's call it Lord of Flames."
