Just as Ye Li grasped the golden sphere in his hand, a strong burst of cool air suddenly surged out from the sphere, quickly rushing into his sea of consciousness and sweeping around.
The whole process happened so fast that he couldn't react at all. When he was startled and quickly took his hand away, the originally golden ball had been stained with a hint of flame red.
After the runes on the golden sphere emitted a bright light, seven doors suddenly appeared on the walls around the ninth floor of the Rune Tower.
No one knew what material the gate was made of, but it looked extremely heavy and solid, and it came in seven different colors.
As soon as Ye Li saw it, he understood that these colors represented the five elements plus wind and thunder, a total of seven attributes.
After the seven gates appeared, the golden sphere began to spin at high speed. The golden light it originally emitted turned completely into a fiery red after a moment.
Then, a red light like a flame shone out from the sphere and hit the flaming red door representing the fire element among the seven doors on the wall.
A rune outlined by a line of fire suddenly lit up on the gate, and then the red gate, like the stone gate before, instantly turned into a ball of spiritual energy and dissipated.
At the same time, the remaining six doors also disappeared in an instant, leaving only a red light door on the wall after the red door disappeared.
Seeing this series of changes, Ye Li couldn't help but reveal a look of suspicion on his face. After thinking for a long time, he finally understood a little bit.
"Could it be that this ball of light is exploring the properties of my talisman root, and this red door represents the fire talisman root in my body, but don't I also have the soul talisman root in my body?"
After Ye Li muttered to himself for a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Oh, by the way, this tower only has seven attributes: five elements, wind, and thunder, but not yin, yang, and soul. I guess that's why it didn't react to my soul root."
After thinking carefully for a while, Ye Li felt that his guess was closer to the truth, and he unconsciously walked to the newly opened light door.
Looking at the light gate in front of him, Ye Li became even more confused. He had no idea where this light gate led to.
After thinking for a while, Ye Li still couldn't guess the answer, but under the current circumstances, he had no choice. After hesitating for a moment, he stepped into the light gate in front of him.
After another moment of trance, Ye Li felt the air around him becoming hot, and he was actually teleported to a world of fire.
He looked around and felt as if he had been teleported to a magma area deep underground. There was hot magma flowing everywhere around him, emitting scorching heat.
"What on earth is this place? What is the purpose of the light gate teleporting me here?"
Ye Li looked at the surrounding environment, his mind full of questions.
At this moment, the magma not far in front of Ye Li suddenly began to roll violently.
A stone pillar wrapped in magma and fire slowly rises from the surging magma.
A strong heat current swept over Ye Li, allowing him to faintly smell the smell of burnt hair.
At this time, Ye Li's attention was completely focused on the stone pillar rising not far away. On the top of this one-meter-high stone pillar, there was an incense burner that seemed to be made of colored glaze and red jade.
The incense burner has a very simple shape. On the glazed ruby-like body of the incense burner, there is a majestic-looking monster shaped like a lion carved.
The monster looks peaceful and lifelike, sitting upright on the incense burner.
Ye Li recognized at a glance that this monster was the legendary top-level fire monster, the Flame-Devouring Suan Ni, also known as the divine beast.
The incense burner was bathed in boiling magma fire, with rays of flames flowing along the glazed ruby-like body of the incense burner, making the statue of the Flame-Devouring Suan Ni on the body of the incense burner seem to come alive.
Just as Ye Li was staring at the incense burner intently, the surrounding magma and fire suddenly began to fluctuate violently. The flames seemed to have life and gathered around the incense burner.
The strong fire flow brought up waves of heat, making the smell of burnt hair on Ye Li's body even stronger.
However, with Ye Li's current physique as strong as a monster, these heat waves have no effect on his body at all.
The flames rushed into the incense burner like crazy waves. The Flame-Devouring Suanni carved on the incense burner suddenly came to life, with two dazzling flames lighting up its eyes. A huge virtual image formed by flames appeared above the incense burner.
The fire flow in the surrounding space began to converge into the shadow of the Flame-Devouring Suanni, quickly filling up the shadow.
A moment later, a huge Flame-Devouring Suanni with flames all over its body appeared in front of Ye Li.
Even though he knew that the Flame-Devouring Suanni in front of him was just a fiery phantom and not a real divine beast, when Ye Li stood in front of him, he still felt weak in the legs.
This giant beast, which was seven or eight meters tall, exuded an extremely powerful aura, and gave Ye Li a tremendous sense of oppression out of nowhere.
The Flame-Devouring Suanni suddenly raised its head and let out a loud roar, and the roar rolled up a wave of fire that swept towards Ye Li.
Ye Li was caught off guard and thought that the Flame-Devouring Suanni was going to attack him, so he quickly ejected the two talismans of Light Body and Spirit Bell, then rolled over to avoid the waves of fire and summoned a ball of flowing flames to surround him.
This set of reaction movements of his was developed through constant fighting over the past month and a half, and has become like instinct.
However, when he was ready for the battle, he found that the Flame-Devouring Suanni not far away had no intention of attacking him. It just stood there quietly, with eyes exuding the majesty of a king, looking down at Ye Li who was rolling and jumping like a monkey in front of him, with a hint of teasing.
When Ye Li saw the wisdom and teasing light in the eyes of Flame-Devouring Suanni, he couldn't help but be stunned, and his old face suddenly turned red.
"I haven't seen humans for many, many years. You are truly the most interesting creatures in the world."
Suddenly, a majestic and ancient voice sounded in Ye Li's ears. Ye Li was startled and could not help but look at the huge shadow of the Flame-Devouring Suanni opposite him.
After staring at the eyes of the Flame-Devouring Suanni that were full of wisdom, Ye Li swallowed his saliva and asked tentatively: "May I... may I ask if it is you who is speaking?"
Ye Li knew that all the monsters that could be called divine beasts were extremely intelligent and were more proficient in human language.
However, the phantom in front of him was obviously not the real body of the monster. So what kind of existence was it that could actually communicate with him
"Of course it's me, could there be other living beings here
Which generation of Jinshan Sect disciple are you from? Why did they wait so many years before sending someone to accept the trial of the treasure?"
The Flame-Devouring Suanni seemed to be tired of standing, and sat down leisurely, then spoke to Ye Li in a calm tone.
