Number one? Chapter 453: Purple Ocean
Ye Wuchen noticed the change in his gaze. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Nangong. However, I have something important to attend to at the Apocalypse Volcano." He glanced at the blushing Ningxue and did not want to delay any further. "Farewell."
Ye Wuchen nodded at Nangong Zhen and left with Oculum. Nangong Zhen turned around and stared at their backs in a daze. "Could it be that they are also going to retrieve the Apocalypse Fire Dragon Fruit?"
Other than the Apocalypse Fire Dragon Fruit, he could not think of any other reason for them to disregard everything and head to the Apocalypse Volcano.
"The Apocalypse Fire Dragon Fruit is rumored to be the hottest item in the world. Consuming it will greatly increase one's ability to control the fire element. However, this rumor may very well be false. No one has ever managed to retrieve it, so how would they know its effects? " Nangong Zhen muttered to himself as he watched them leave. He shook his head and walked in the direction of the Nangong Family. In the Nangong Family, he was the youngest but also the most hardworking. The Magic and Martial Families were not like the military and political families, where family members fought and schemed against each other. Almost all of them had become martial or demonic fanatics under the influence of what they had seen and heard. They even avoided the position of Family Head.
After leaving Nangong Zhen's line of sight, Ye Wuchen signaled to Oculum with his eyes and increased his speed to the maximum. In this scorching environment, not only did he not feel his stamina decreasing rapidly, but he also felt that Wuchen's power was recovering faster than usual. He relaxed and the last bit of apprehension disappeared. He had made the right decision to come to the Apocalypse Volcano. Everything should be as he had expected.
As they got closer to the volcano, the temperature also increased. After ten minutes, Ye Wuchen finally stopped. Oculum also stopped and looked at him with a questioning gaze. They were still quite a distance away from the Apocalypse Volcano.
Ningxue was panting, and the hot air she exhaled was frighteningly hot. Ye Wuchen's heart ached, and he regretted letting her come here. He hugged Ningxue tightly and flicked the fingers of his left hand. With a flash of white light, a huge ice block appeared in front of them. It was the ice block that he had asked Oculum to cut from the frozen Tiannan River.
"Oculum, cut it open," Ye Wuchen shouted as he touched Ningxue's face.
Oculum understood. Standing still, he stretched out his right hand and drew a line in the air. A greyish black Qi shot out, silently slicing the huge ice block into two even halves. At the same time, the two halves were separated by nearly a meter.
The two huge ice blocks began to melt, reducing the surrounding temperature and releasing a cold aura. Being carried between the two ice blocks by Ye Wuchen, Ningxue immediately felt a refreshing coolness wash over her, clearing her mind. She greedily breathed in the air that was many times cooler than before. Her two small hands were pressed against the ice wall, enjoying the coldness.
Ye Wuchen had taken the huge ice block away from the Tiannan River in preparation for this moment. He heaved a small sigh of relief and said, "Cher, wait here with Oculum. I'll go up and take a look."
"Ah? But … "When Ningxue heard that he was leaving, she reflexively became nervous.
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. Have you forgotten that I don't know how to use fire and I'm not afraid of heat? Cher, this is as far as you can go. If I bring you along, even I won't be able to go up, "Ye Wuchen said.
Hearing that she would implicate him, Ningxue finally gave up and said nervously, "Then big brother must come back as soon as possible."
Ye Wuchen nodded with a slight smile and gave a heavy promise. He said to Oculum, "Protect Ningxue well. If the ice melts too quickly, take her away first."
Saying this, he didn't tarry and rushed forward as fast as he could. Without Ningxue on him, his speed had greatly increased. The main reason he had agreed to bring Ningxue to such a terrifying place was because he was worried that an unknown accident would occur and he needed Oculum's protection. Bringing Oculum meant that he had to bring Ningxue, because he was even more afraid that something would happen to Ningxue.
If everything went as he expected and there were no obstacles or variables, the first thing he would do after exploring the Fire Sky Mountain was to leave immediately. He would bring Ningxue and Oculum back to Fire Dragon City and make arrangements before coming here alone.
A minute later, he arrived at the foot of the Fire Sky Mountain, dragging a long shadow behind him. He casually glanced at the top of the mountain and ran up the steep mountain without stopping. Vaguely, he felt a gaze watching him from afar. It was Oculum's gaze. Only she had the ability to see so far away.
The Volcano of Extinction was not tall, less than a hundred meters, but it covered a large area. The bare mountain was red. There were no weeds, let alone living creatures. There were only flames that almost covered the entire mountain. Ye Wuchen stepped on the fire all the way up and was not hurt in the slightest.
After a short while, he finally arrived at the top of the mountain. He looked down and was immediately shocked. There were many experts in the Tianchen Continent. There were many people who had the ability to rely on their super strength to reach this place. He believed that no matter who it was, the first thing they would feel after arriving here was shock.
In front of him, there was a patch of ferocious purple. The thick purple magma spread hundreds of meters ahead. It was like a purple deep sea, appearing in front of him in a shocking manner.
The color of the flame corresponded to the intensity of the flame to a certain extent. The most ordinary flame was yellow, the stronger ones were orange, then red, blue, and purple. According to legend, there was a white flame that was even more terrifying than the purple flame.
The purple magma … it was self-evident how terrifying it was. Even if a piece of fine iron was thrown in, it would instantly become a part of the purple sea, let alone a human. The purple magma should not exist, because at such a high temperature, it did not form magma. Instead, it vaporized directly, turning into the smallest ashes and disappearing without a trace. Previously, when Lin Yan used all his strength to release the purple flames, it made the marble arena disappear without a trace. Even the ground had sunk a lot. Thinking about it, there must be a strange power that helped create the purple sea, allowing it to not vaporize under such high temperature.
The temperature was terrifyingly high, and the air was terrifyingly thin. Even the space seemed to tremble because of the terrifying temperature, causing the scenery in front of Ye Wuchen to distort.
Ye Wuchen took a deep breath and slowly walked down. After a dozen steps, he reached the edge of the purple sea. He squatted down and reached his hand into the purple magma.
His hand entered the purple magma … If it was an ordinary person's hand, it would disappear in an instant. On the other hand, Ye Wuchen only felt that his hand was wrapped in a comfortable warmth. He was not testing the temperature of the purple lava, but its viscosity. The result made the corners of his mouth curl into a relaxed smile.
He stood up and looked forward. In the middle of the vast purple sea, he saw an eye-catching red dot. The bewitching red seemed to have a special magic, it was not covered by the deep purple at all. Instead, it was like a proud emperor standing in the middle of the purple sea. Even though it was far away, it could be seen at a glance.
The Heaven Extinguishing Dragon Fruit!
Although its existence was small, it was so eye-catching that it was impossible for people not to notice it. Ye Wuchen used his Primal Chaos Force. With a tap of his feet, his body floated forward and landed in the purple sea. Then, he stepped on the purple magma and walked forward. Although he could not walk on water, he could walk or even stand directly on the thick magma, albeit with some difficulty.
He walked all the way to the center and finally saw the Heaven Extinguishing Dragon Fruit. Its roots were rooted in the terrifying purple sea, and its long stem was burning with purple flames. The only fruit on the stem was actually only the size of a fingernail. It released a bewitching red light that was so dazzling that people did not dare to look at it directly. And it was such a small fruit that people could easily see it from a hundred meters away in the vast purple sea. If one said that this was an ordinary item, who would believe it?
Ye Wuchen's gaze did not linger on it for too long, because this was not the purpose of his trip. And looking at the situation, if he really picked it, it might slowly dissipate after leaving the source of the fire.
He made his body as light as possible and stood in the center of the purple sea. He opened his arms and murmured, "That's right … this is the feeling … the feeling that my premonition told me about …"
The place where Ye Wuchen stood was the center of the Heaven Extinguishing Dragon Volcano. And in such a terrifying area, there must be an extremely dense spiritual energy of the world, and spiritual energy was the only way to improve the Wuchen Technique.
The spiritual energy of the world was everywhere. Even when Ye Wuchen was asleep, his body would automatically absorb the spiritual energy of the world to improve the Wuchen Technique. But because the spiritual energy of the world was thin, the speed was extremely slow. From the first stage to the second stage of the Dawnless Secret Art, he had spent seventeen years automatically absorbing the purest innate spiritual energy from a Heavenly Beast's egg. If he were to rely on the automatic absorption to advance to the third stage, he did not know how long it would take.
Therefore, he longed for a place where the spiritual energy of the world gathered, such as the hottest Heaven Extinguishing Dragon Volcano in the Tianchen continent.
As he expected, the mysterious and warm aura in the center of the Heaven Extinguishing Dragon Volcano surged toward him under the automatic absorption of his body. Compared to his usual ignorance, the speed was so fast that he could clearly feel the comfort of his body and the excitement of the Wuchen Power in his body. The Wuchen Power needed to float on the purple sea was far less than the speed of recovery.
The speed of absorbing spiritual energy exceeded his expectations, but the speed of improvement of the Wuchen Technique was slightly slower than he had expected. He closed his eyes and silently felt the increase of the Wuchen Power. If he maintained this speed, he would be able to break through to the third level within three days.
He once again thanked the memory of the Sacred Qilin that gave him the "Blessing of the Qilin". The Sacred Qilin of the Five Elements of the Netherworld allowed him to be fearless of the five elements, so he could stand freely in the purple sea. Otherwise, he could only look on and lament his inadequacy.
The originally calm purple sea continuously fluctuated slightly because of his arrival, and there were signs that it was gradually becoming more intense. After a short while, Ye Wuchen looked around again and prepared to leave. He had achieved his goal on this trip, and he did not encounter any unexpected changes. After sending Ningxue and the Oculum back, he would return again and stand here quietly for three days.
Just as he took the first step back on the purple sea, a deep and dignified voice rang in his ears.
"Who is it … Who is absorbing the spiritual energy here …"
