Xiao Chen understood something. He raised his head and looked at the boiling lava. He said, "That is to say, if I just use my Vital Qi, the effect will be much better."
Ao Jiao nodded and said, "Yes, that is how it is. However, you need to be careful. If you fall into the lava, no matter how strong you are, you will not be able to save yourself. You also need to be careful not to get sprayed by the Dragon Flame."
The group of loose cultivators behind Xiao Chen communicated with each other with their gazes. They sized up Xiao Chen with malicious intent. Clearly, they had not given up on using him as a stepping stone.
"Xiu!"
Just as the loose cultivators were hesitating on whether they should charge forward and capture Xiao Chen, a loud whistling sound rang out. A whistling sound rang out. Xiao Chen rode on the Azure Dragon image and charged into the air above the lava.
The loose cultivators all cried out in surprise. They all had strange expressions on their faces. This fellow is too bold.
After advancing five hundred meters, the Fire Flame Snakes wandering in the lava felt the aura of a living person. They quickly moved and shot out, kicking up large amounts of boiling lava. "Pu! Pu!
Pu! "
In an instant, ten-odd Fire Flame Snakes launched themselves at Xiao Chen from all directions. Flames flickered in their hole-like eyes before they shot out streams of bright red lava.
The lava was so hot that it made the air crackle as steam spread out.
Xiao Chen stood on the Blue Dragon image and calmly took out two shields. Then, he placed one on the left and one on the right, wrapping himself up tightly.
These were peak Medial Grade defensive Secret Treasures. The lava did not burn through them immediately. However, they were incredibly hot. Xiao Chen felt some pain in his hands as he held them.
After a while, Xiao Chen, who was hiding behind the shields, felt that the impact from the shields was gone.
Xiao Chen waved his hands and his Vital Qi surged. Then, he tossed out the two shields.
"Bang!"
Carrying a huge force, the two shields spun and flew forward, each knocking down a Fire Flame Snake and causing it to fall to the ground.
The remaining Fire Flame Snakes coiled around Xiao Chen, trying to pull him into the lava.
Xiao Chen's face sank and he clenched his right fist tightly. His Vital Qi surged in his body like a surging river. His Qi and blood surged to the peak.
Facing an incoming Fire Flame Snake, Xiao Chen circulated his Vital Qi and executed the third move of the Dragon Claw Fist, Breaking Armor.
A cone-shaped Vital Qi formed in front of his fist. Then, Xiao Chen punched out ten times at the ten Fire Flame Snake flying at him.
"Bang!
The wind generated by the punch was like thunder, the sound reverberating in all directions. The loud sound caused the entire space to tremble. Rocks in the cavern above continued to fall, falling into the lava and being burned to ashes in the blink of an eye.
The Fire Flame Snake's body was made up of round Fire Flame Rocks. Xiao Chen's ten punches landed on a Fire Flame Rock each time.
A huge force exploded, and the Fire Flame Stones, which were so hard that they could survive in the lava, were destroyed by Xiao Chen with a single punch.
The ten Fire Flame Snakes tumbled in the air, and their bodies directly scattered into Fire Flame Stones, falling into the lava.
There were still two Fire Flame Snakes left. Xiao Chen retracted his fist and stood upright. He stomped on the Blue Dragon's phantom and kicked out twice, bursting the heads of the two Fire Flame Snakes.
Taking advantage of the rebound, Xiao Chen recalled the shield that was still spinning in the air and shot forward like an arrow.
"What a terrifying power! Fortunately, we didn't attack him, otherwise we would all die here."
"I wonder where this ruthless person came from. He has a horrifying physical body and is a peak Medial Grade Martial Monarch. Even a peak late-stage Superior Grade Martial Monarch would not be able to deal with him easily."
"Let me take a look at this white-robed cultivator. He is far more than that. Aside from a half-Sage, no one can do anything to him."
When the loose cultivators on the shore saw this scene, they exchanged glances with each other, feeling a lingering fear. Unexpectedly, the Fire Flame Snakes that gave half-Sages a headache actually died so easily at Xiao Chen's hands.
Relying on the two shields and the horrifying one thousand tons of force, Xiao Chen swept through the place, shattering all the Fire Flame Snakes that pounced at him.
Soon, Xiao Chen's figure vanished into the darkness. Once he dodged the attack of the Dragon Flame, he would be able to pass this stage.
The rocks above him contained Light Absorbing Stones, which absorbed all the light from the lava. This resulted in darkness, preventing people from seeing the surging lava below.
Medial Grade Secret Treasures were useless against the Dragon Flame. Xiao Chen put away the two shields and carefully flew forward while standing on the Blue Dragon's phantom.
Even though the lava had diluted it by a hundred times, it was still a True Dragon Flame. Before this Dragon Flame, Xiao Chen's Rank 1 Sage Body was no different from an ordinary body. He would die upon contact.
Xiao Chen could not see anything in the darkness. The unforeseeable danger made him feel uneasy. Xiao Chen held his breath and focused. He did not panic or get flustered as he quickly flew forward.
A golden light appeared, disappearing in a flash. The light was piercing. Xiao Chen could not help but close his eyes, leaving only a slit in them.
However, he did not move blindly, as this Dragon Flame did not come from below. "Boom! Boom!
Boom! "
The further Xiao Chen went, the more frequent the Dragon Flame erupted. Furthermore, there was no pattern to it. The cave flickered with light, making it hard to remain calm.
If Xiao Chen panicked at this moment and dodged randomly, there was a high chance he would end up crashing into the Dragon Flame.
Xiao Chen focused and guarded his Qi, his heart calm. Along the way, the cultivation of his mental state was already much higher than that of his peers, and he would never be in a state of panic.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought of something. He gently pushed off the Blue Dragon's phantom and spun around, moving forward.
"Pu ci!"
The golden Dragon Flame instantly pierced through the head of the Blue Dragon's phantom, which was where Xiao Chen stood earlier. "Zi zi!" "Zi! Zi!" The Azure Dragon image formed by Veritable Essence Energy burned into nothing in that instant.
"Whoosh!" As Xiao Chen stood in the air, another stream of dragon flame spewed out from below. It brushed past his nose and brushed past his shoulder.
Xiao Chen could clearly feel the scorching heat.
If he had used a little more force when he dodged earlier, the Dragon Flame would have burned him to ashes.
"That was close!"
After brushing past death, Xiao Chen calmed himself down. Then, he moved even more carefully. After one hour, Xiao Chen finally made it through the dark region and landed on the shore.
When Xiao Chen turned his head back to look at the pitch-black danger zone, he felt a lingering fear. Strength, mental state, and luck were all necessary to make it through this place.
No wonder Xiao Chen could block the seven giants' group of proud talents for so long.
After passing this place, Xiao Chen looked ahead. His field of vision brightened, and a vast expanse appeared. Dense Immortal Qi surged over — Immortal Qi even purer than Spiritual Energy.
At the limits of Xiao Chen's vision, he could see the figures of several cultivators moving about, searching for Spirit Herbs and precious ores that grew in the True Dragon Cave.
After walking for one kilometer, Xiao Chen saw the corpses of a few cultivators. Beside the corpses was a bare scarlet tree trunk. The Spirit Fruits on the tree trunk had already been picked clean.
Only this tree trunk was left, devoid of any signs of life, looking like it had withered.
Hey, it looks like a Spirit Tree that can bear Blood Flame Fruits. It is not dead yet. Xiao Chen, bring it in. Your Immortal Spirit Ring can support it.
Ao Jiao, who was taking care of the Lunar Cassia Tree in the ring's world, spoke up.
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It will probably take another few hundred years for it to mature."
Even though Xiao Chen said that, he still followed Ao Jiao's instructions. This place was not dangerous. Digging out the Blood Flame Tree would not take much time, so there was nothing to complain about.
Ao Jiao giggled and said, "Let's see if we can find a few more Spirit Tree trunks later. Not everyone has a peak grade Immortal Spirit Ring. If we are lucky, we can collect some Spirit Trees here and turn them into a simple herb garden. "
It will probably take a few hundred years for it to take shape, Xiao Chen thought to himself.
The True Dragon Cave was indeed a land of treasures. As Xiao Chen continued forward, he found several more Spirit Trees that could not be seen in the outside world.
However, all the Spirit Fruits on them had already been picked clean, leaving only bare tree trunks. No one cared about them. So, Xiao Chen collected them all and moved them into the Immortal Spirit Ring.
The number of cultivators that Xiao Chen saw increased, gradually catching up with the main group.
Glancing around, Xiao Chen discovered a familiar person far in front. It was Ximen Bao of the Ximen Clan, one of the Tianwu Domain's four great clans.
Ximen Bao's appearance had not changed much. However, his arrogance was much more restrained than before. This was because none of the people around him were weak.
Aside from Ximen Bao, Xiao Chen also saw the top genius of the battle realms, Niu Deng, and a peak late-stage Superior Grade Martial Monarch, a black-clad loose cultivator.
The three stood in a triangle, separated by five hundred meters. A glistening, scarlet Spirit Fruit stood in the middle of the three. It exuded overwhelming Spiritual Energy and looked very tempting.
There were several cultivators around the three. Their eyes flickered as they stared at the scarlet Spirit Fruit greedily.
However, there were already three experts eyeing this Spirit Fruit. The others could only watch. They would not dare to snatch it even if they had the courage.
"The Dragon Mark Fruit contains Dragon Energy. It can increase a cultivator's strength by one hundred and fifty tons of force. Among the treasures in this True Dragon Cave, it would definitely rank within the top twenty."
"So what if it is valuable? Ximen Bao, Niu Deng, and Dan Tianyu, who is ranked in the top seventy of the Evil Cultivator Ranking, have their eyes on it. We have no chance at all."
The surrounding people discussed in soft voices as they stared at the Dragon Mark Fruit. Their words were filled with regret.
"I wonder which of the three will obtain the Dragon Mark Fruit? I feel that Ximen Bao has the highest chance. He is from a Noble Clan and has a high cultivation. His strength is second only to the seven giants. "
"It is hard to say. Niu Deng deserves his reputation as the top genius of the battle realms. Before he came, he was evenly matched with Feng Xingsheng."
"Dan Tianyu is the oldest and has the deepest cultivation. Furthermore, he cultivates a baleful aura. He should not be weaker than these two. It is hard to say who will emerge victorious."
Everyone was very interested in who would obtain the Dragon Mark Fruit in the end. They could foresee that it wouldn't take long.
They could foresee that soon, the three would start a huge battle for the Dragon Mark Fruit, fighting to the death.
Ximen Bao glanced at Niu Deng, then at Dan Tianyu. He said, "I advise you not to fight with me. If you offend me and provoke my great-grandfather, none of you will have a good ending."
When the tall Niu Deng heard this, he smiled coldly and said, "Ximen Bao, who are you trying to scare? Not to mention whether your great-grandfather will make a move over such a trivial matter, even if he does, do you think the seniors of our battle realms in the Bushin Palace are just decorations?"
