Four hundred miles was the limit of the perfect quality Ice Power Pellet, which could reduce the temperature by fifty percent.
Four hundred miles deep in the Earth Core Fire Valley, the temperature was much higher than the outside. Even if the temperature was reduced by fifty percent, Chu Mu still felt his mouth dry up and his body heat up. His blood felt like it was boiling.
This was the limit of the perfect quality Ice Power Pellet, and also the limit of what Chu Mu could endure. He felt that he could only last for about four hours in this place.
But the chances of encountering the Earth Core Fire Qi in four hundred miles was much higher than the chances of encountering it in one hundred miles.
His eyes were completely red, and even his pupils were affected. They had almost turned into a fiery red color, as if there were flames burning in them.
With one breath, Chu Mu could feel his nose burning. His lungs were also breathing in hot air, as if he was being roasted on a fire. Luckily, he had reached the Qi Hai realm, so he could breathe for a period of time. Chu Mu blocked his breath, and also blocked the hot air from entering his lungs.
In front of him, there was dry and cracked black land. In the cracks, which were as thick as thighs, there was magma that made one's eyes hurt. There was a huge magma pool that was tens of thousands of meters wide. Many large and small black lumps floated on top of it, as if they were things that had broken up from the ground.
Countless bubbles the size of a human head appeared, and then exploded. With a popping sound, they emitted a shocking heat.
Hot air curled up, and because of the high temperature, the air and light in the surroundings became distorted, making it look like a dream.
Around the several tens of thousands of meters wide lava pool, other than Chu Mu, there were other teams scattered around, all waiting for the Earth Core Desolate Fire Aura to appear.
This lava pool was connected to three lava streams that came from even further away.
The people who were able to make it this far were not ordinary people, and they also had unusual methods. Therefore, even if they did not know each other, they would not easily make an enemy out of each other.
Seeing Chu Mu come here alone, the group of swordsmen were secretly surprised, but they didn't dare to underestimate Chu Mu. Everyone knew that those who dared to come here alone were either extremely confident in their own strength or blindly arrogant madmen.
An hour passed, and countless bubbles burst. After a bubble about ten meters away from Chu Mu burst, a faint yellow aura spread out.
Chu Mu was slightly startled, but he immediately reacted. His spiritual consciousness condensed into a beam and spread out, turning into a hand of nothingness. He grabbed the light yellow aura and slowly moved it over.
If Chu Mu's mind power was stronger, his speed would be even faster.
It was only a strand of Geocentric Desolate Fire Qi. The other teams had also noticed it, but they did not have any intention of snatching it. In this place, the probability of encountering Geocentric Desolate Fire Qi was not small. It was not worthwhile to get into a conflict with others over a strand of Geocentric Desolate Fire Qi and cause them to lose their opportunity.
At the same time that Chu Mu was harvesting the Geocentric Desolate Fire Qi, there were also some teams that had found the Geocentric Desolate Fire Qi. They took action and did not interfere with each other.
When the Geocentric Desolate Fire Qi was a few meters away from Chu Mu, there was a sudden change. A fiery red figure silently broke out of the magma pool and bit at the Geocentric Desolate Fire Qi.
Its speed was extremely fast, and it instantly broke through Chu Mu's spiritual consciousness. It bit down on the Geocentric Desolate Fire Qi and swallowed it into its stomach. Then, it opened its mouth at Chu Mu and spat out a fist-sized faint yellow flame. It shot through the air like a cannonball and shot towards him.
The temperature was so high that it was suffocating. The faint yellow fireball enlarged in front of his eyes. The terrifying temperature made Chu Mu feel as if his face was about to be burned.
His expression was calm, and he did not panic. Even though he felt the burning pain on his face, Chu Mu quickly reacted. He slashed out with his sword. Sword Qi and spiritual consciousness fused into it, and it slashed open the heavens and earth.
With a bang, the sword and the faint yellow fireball collided. In that instant, the fireball exploded. The tyrannical explosion spread out in all directions. The terrifying shockwave rushed over, and the high temperature wreaked havoc. Chu Mu felt as if the sword in his hand was about to melt. It was as if his hands were holding a red-hot iron. It was extremely uncomfortable.
Countless faint yellow sparks flew over. Chu Mu moved his feet, shuttling through the sparks. He only saw the sparks fall on the dry black ground, letting out sizzling sounds. Bursts of white smoke rose up, burning a finger-sized hole in the ground. This made Chu Mu's heart tremble.
It must be known that the ground here had been calcined by magma for countless years. It was extremely hard and resistant to high temperatures. However, the yellow sparks actually burned through it. One could see the magma below. If it fell on one's body, it would instantly turn one into ashes.
The faint yellow fireball dissipated. Chu Mu caught a glimpse of a figure about to fall into the magma pool. He waved his hand forward, and the Tianhuang Sword, which was as red as a soldering iron, flew out of his hand. It was like an arrow leaving the bow, extremely fast.
With a sizzling sound, the sword hit the figure that was half submerged in the magma pool, and it let out a strange sharp cry.
This strike contained Sword Qi, Mountain Quake Force, and the impact of Spiritual Will. It immediately injured the figure.
The eight-sided Tianhuang Sword appeared in Chu Mu's hand. With a tap of his foot, he flew out like a graceful swan, and stabbed with his sword.
The sword stabbed the figure that was about to completely submerge into the magma pool. The sword tip seemed to have stabbed into fine iron. With a flick of his wrist, the sword tip lightly flicked up, and the figure was immediately sent flying. Chu Mu's actions fell into the eyes of the others, and they immediately sneered.
"He actually dared to fight above the magma pool. He's simply courting death."
"He's courting death. Once he falls into the magma pool, he will immediately turn into a pile of bones and then ashes."
The temperature of the magma pool was terrifyingly high. Even if a God Condensation Realm swordsman were to fall into it, they would disappear without a trace in just three breaths.
One of the common knowledge in the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley was that no matter what, one should not be above the magma pool. This was because even if one could fly, one could still be attacked. If one was careless and touched by the magma pool, the outcome would be miserable.
Moreover, Astral Realm swordsman would consume ten times more energy to fly in the Earth Core Desolate Fire Valley than outside. Unless there was no other choice, they would not fly.
At the same time that Chu Mu sent the figure flying, he borrowed the force to fly up. With another slash, he immediately sent the figure out of the magma pool. With a wave of his left sleeve, a powerful force pushed Chu Mu out of the magma pool, and he stabbed his sword in the air.
From the moment Chu Mu entered the air above the magma pool to the moment Chu Mu left the air above the magma pool, it was only a split second. Yet, in that split second, the Tree Seed Sword Style's movement technique had changed. It was exquisite beyond compare and shocking.
That figure was continuously hit by Chu Mu's sword. Every strike contained the impact of mental intent, which caused it to be unable to counterattack. The figure was fluttering in the air before it was hit by Chu Mu again.
Chu Mu had already seen the figure clearly. It was a fiery red snake that was about two meters long. Its body seemed to be covered in a layer of faint red flames. Upon closer inspection, one could see that under the flames, there seemed to be a magma-like liquid flowing.
What was interesting was that this fiery red snake's eyes were a faint yellow, just like the Earth Core Fire Qi.
This was a Flame Snake, a strange beast that would only appear in an environment like the Earth Core Fire Valley. It loved the high temperature of magma and would consume the Earth Core Fire Qi to increase its own strength.
The yellow flames that it had spat out just now were a terrifying flame energy formed after devouring a large amount of the Earth Core Fire Qi.
The Flame Snake was a very terrifying strange beast. Its entire body was extremely hot, and its defense was astonishing. It was difficult for blades to break through, and it could even spit out extremely hot flames. Once hit, even a Divine Condensation Realm swordsman would find it hard to endure.
But at this moment, the terrifying Flame Snake was tumbling under Chu Mu's sword. It was sent flying again and again. Chu Mu's sword was like a cage that imprisoned the Flame Snake. Every time he attacked, the impact of his mental intent would cause the Flame Snake to be in a state of dizziness, unable to counterattack.
His figure flickered left and right, and every strike was exquisite beyond compare.
The Flame Snake was sent flying again, its body tumbling. Chu Mu's eyes narrowed, and a sharp light shone from them. His sword paused for a moment, and he stretched his limbs, thrusting out.
It was soundless, but extremely powerful.
This strike had fused the first five moves of the Sky Desolation Sword Art, and its power was incomparably tyrannical.
In an instant, the sword cut open the Flame Snake's body, cutting it in two.
Magma and blood splashed out, splashing onto the ground with sizzling sounds and bursts of white smoke. Many thumb-sized holes were burned into the ground. It was a frightening sight.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Another three strikes cut the Flame Snake into several pieces, completely killing it.
Landing on the ground, the snake's head and body struggled on the ground, gradually losing strength.
Chu Mu quickly cut open the snake's head and body, and found a yellow bean-sized solid from the snake's head. Raising his sword, sword Qi condensed into two fingers, and pinched the yellow bean-sized solid. He immediately felt the terrifying heat and familiar energy fluctuations from it.
"Junior Apprentice Brother, give me the Flame Snake's core in your hand." A person quickly approached, staring at the yellow solid in Chu Mu's hand, and a trace of possessiveness flashed in his eyes: "I offer two strands of Earth Core Fire Qi."
"I offer three strands of Earth Core Fire Qi. Junior Apprentice Brother, give it to me." Another person quickly ran over, and said.
"Sorry, I have a use for this core." Chu Mu rejected the other party.
Although he did not know what use it had, he could feel the Earth Core Fire Qi's energy fluctuations, and it was even purer. In addition, the two swordsmen could not wait to make a deal, and the greed in their eyes made Chu Mu realize that this Flame Snake's core was not ordinary, and its value was extremely high.
After Chu Mu rejected, he did not continue to stay here. Instead, he quickly retreated, using the Flying Swan Illusory Steps, and turned around to leave at an extremely fast speed.
As if they did not expect Chu Mu to leave like this, everyone was startled, and then wanted to chase after him.
"Forget it." Someone from the other group said: "Although the Flame Snake's core is good, this person's sword skills are not ordinary. We should not make him an enemy."
The two people who wanted to chase after Chu Mu could only give up, but they remembered Chu Mu.
After Chu Mu quickly left, he realized some problems, and immediately left the Earth Core Fire Valley, returning to the Heaven Wasteland Earth Palace.
