Terrifying heatwave impact
"As expected, as long as there is a trace of dragon blood in the body, the Dragon Slaying Sword of Eight Desolation will be effective."
Ye Xuan waited until the Lava Lizard was completely dead before keeping its corpse and devouring it.
A sacred beast that was comparable to a Heavenly Vein expert was worth a lot of experience points to Ye Xuan.
After devouring it, Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that unlocking the Heavenly Vein was just around the corner.
Then, he continued to move forward along the passage.
The Blazing Cave was very hot. If a Spirit Realm martial artist came in, they would not be able to withstand the heat and would be burned to ashes.
Even if it was a Soul Essence Realm martial artist, they were constantly consuming their True Qi.
However, for Ye Xuan who had the Sacred Tree of Life's bloodline, this consumption would be instantly recovered. Hence, the Fire Avoidance Pearl was useless to him.
He kept the Fire Avoidance Pearl and continued forward.
After walking for a while, he began to see corpses. There were human corpses and Lava Lizards' corpses.
It seemed that a battle had broken out here. The rest of the people fought as they walked, and no one came to collect the corpses. This was a good thing for Ye Xuan.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, a loud rumbling sound came from the tunnel. Ye Xuan frowned. It seemed that someone was fighting while heading in his direction.
The tunnel was quite big, and it was about a hundred meters tall. Ye Xuan hid in a corner. He did not want to be caught in the crossfire, unless the person coming was not strong enough.
"Tsk, stay here!"
"Fire Dragon Grass is not something that Earth Vein martial artists like you can get their hands on!"
"With this Fire Dragon Grass, I can exchange it for some cultivation resources and unlock my fifth Heavenly Vein!"
Soon, a group of people appeared in front of Ye Xuan.
There were two groups of people. There was only one person running in front, and five people chasing behind him.
Ye Xuan estimated that the strongest among them was around five Heavenly Veins. They were relatively weak.
Hence, he dashed forward.
"Prime Clarity Sword Technique!"
Ye Xuan used his special skill and killed the person in front of him. Then, he took his Yin and Yang Ring.
"How dare you come out halfway! You're courting death!"
In an instant, Ye Xuan became a thorn in the eyes of these five people.
However, after Ye Xuan devoured the contents of the Interspatial Ring, his cultivation level suddenly skyrocketed.
"Ding! Host has unlocked the first heavenly meridian!"
The Fire Dragon Grass was a precious Heavenly Treasure that was two to three times more valuable than the other items in the Interspatial Ring. It allowed Ye Xuan, who had opened seventy Earth Veins, to open seventy-first, seventy-second Earth Veins, and the first Heavenly Vein.
The current Ye Xuan could be considered to have stepped into the Heaven Meridian Realm.
With his cultivation level, killing the other five was extremely easy.
"Rip!" "Rip!" "Rip!"
Five crisp sounds rang out in a row as five heads fell to the ground. All five of their Universe Rings also fell into Ye Xuan's hands.
"Ding! Host has unlocked the second heavenly meridian!"
Ye Xuan's cultivation level rose again.
Now, his strength was considered to be at the top of the group of martial artists who had entered the Scorching Catacombs.
"This Fire Spirit is worth a try. If I can get it, I can exchange it for a lot of Heavenly Treasures!"
Ye Xuan thought to himself.
As for how much he could exchange for, it would depend on the quality of the Fire Spirit. Some Fire Spirits could help raise a martial artist's fire affinity to the Upper Legendary level, while others could only raise it to the Lower Epic level. There was a huge difference between the two.
In the Scorching Catacombs, sacred beasts like the Giant Lava Lizard were not the only ones. There were others as well. However, to Ye Xuan, they were no longer a threat.
Ye Xuan advanced along the passageway and encountered many threats. In addition, there were also many Heavenly Treasures. He gained quite a lot.
At this moment.
"Rumble!"
Suddenly, a loud sound rang out in the passageway. Ye Xuan paused and felt the temperature rise in front of him. He was so frightened that Ye Xuan quickly retreated.
"Boom!"
A wave of heat assaulted him. Its speed was much faster than Ye Xuan's, and it directly drowned him.
"So hot!"
Ye Xuan widened his eyes. This wave of heat burned his clothes and even his skin began to melt. A layer of skin fell off with a touch, and blood flowed. He was instantly turned into a pile of flesh.
Fortunately, he had the bloodline of the Sacred Tree of Life, which healed his wounds.
Very soon, this wave of heat passed.
"Fortunately, I have already opened my Heavenly Veins and the bloodline of the Sacred Tree of Life. Otherwise, this wave of heat would have burned my bones out …"
Ye Xuan shuddered. Just now, he did not even open his eyes. His eyelids were almost melted.
If even he, an expert who had opened two Heavenly Veins, was reduced to this state, then those martial artists with Earth Veins would not be able to survive.
Now, Ye Xuan understood that the danger in the Scorching Catacombs was not the sacred beasts, but the heat waves.
Even if someone could survive the first wave of heat, they would not be able to withstand more than a few waves. Moreover, their True Qi would be greatly depleted. He did not know how much strength they would have left when they found the Fire Spirit.
However, this kind of environment was a disguised form of improvement for Ye Xuan.
Immediately, he quickened his pace.
As expected, there were many Earth Veins martial artists who had died in this wave of heat. The ground was littered with corpses.
These people had been burned beyond recognition. Some of them even had their heads melted. They had died horrible deaths.
Ye Xuan walked over, picked up their weapons and Interspatial Rings, and devoured them.
These Earth Veins martial artists could not withstand the first wave of heat, let alone the second and third. Ye Xuan estimated that after one or two more waves of heat, these Earth Veins martial artists would all die.
He quickened his pace again and began to catch up with the main group in front.
Along the way, there were countless corpses like this. Hence, they all benefited Ye Xuan, allowing his strength to continuously improve.
Soon, the tunnel came to an end.
Ye Xuan remembered that there were a total of nine tunnels at the entrance of the volcano. However, the place he came out of had ten.
Moreover, there were already hundreds of experts here. All of them were Heavenly Veins, and the weakest had opened five Heavenly Veins.
At the same time, these people were gathered on both sides of a tunnel, sticking close to the wall.
"What's going on?"
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes. He saw that the tunnel in the middle of this group was constantly spewing out hot air. It seemed that the heat wave had come from there.
He looked around and realized that these Heavenly Veins martial artists were more or less injured. Some were caused by battle, while others were caused by the heat wave.
At this moment.
"Rumble!"
The tunnel rumbled violently again. Everyone immediately spewed out their True Qi to defend themselves.
"It's coming again. Everyone, be careful!"
Someone shouted with good intentions.
Hearing this, Ye Xuan's body trembled. He hurriedly rushed to the side of a wall and summoned the Octoterra Shield to protect his vitals.
