Yi Tianyun felt the Evil Fire. Thankfully, he had the Shadow Cloak, or he would have been done for. However, the flames continued to surge, and it didn't look like they would stop anytime soon.
"Let go!" Illusory Zither cried out when she saw the Evil Fire. "That's the Evil Fire from the Fire Dragon Stone buried inside! It will melt you!"
Yi Tianyun gritted his teeth, the determined look in his eyes unwavering. There wasn't much time left, and he didn't utter a single word. Five seconds was an incredibly short amount of time. For cultivators of their level, each second could feel like an eternity.
"Break!"
Yi Tianyun roared, his arms continuing to strain as he pried at the stone pillar. Cracks began to spiderweb across its surface, but at the same time, more and more Evil Fire seeped in. The Shadow Cloak granted him immunity, but its effect was limited. He heaved against the pillar a few more times but couldn't snap it before the five seconds were up.
