Xiao Lingyu didn't hesitate to activate the Star Chasing Barrier again. He jumped into the roaring magma of the volcano and sent a message to Ping 'er at the same time.
Originally, Xiao Lingyu wanted to wait for him to retrieve the Emerald Immortal Pearl before informing Ping 'er. However, the situation had changed. He needed Ping' er and the other experts of the Cloud Treasure House to help him deal with the Tribulation Passing Stage flood dragon.
The temperature of the magma was extremely high, but the defense of the Emerald Immortal Pearl was even stronger. Xiao Lingyu didn't have to worry too much.
The flood dragon was also of the water attribute. It hated fire energy the most, and the belly of the volcano was a place where fire energy was very rich. Under normal circumstances, it would not easily go into the magma of the volcano, but now it was a special situation. In order to take revenge, it was even willing to burn its dragon essence, and it did not hesitate to rush into the sea of fire.
The flood dragon's body flashed and a blue light shield appeared around it. Then, like a flood dragon entering the abyss, it plunged into the belly of the volcano.
The energy consumption of the Emerald Immortal Pearl increased a lot, but it didn't reach the point where it would use up a few top-grade spirit stones in an instant. Xiao Lingyu had plenty of time to chase after the Emerald Immortal Pearl.
However, the belly of the volcano was filled with roaring magma. Xiao Lingyu couldn't see the Emerald Immortal Pearl, and his spiritual sense couldn't cover a large area. He could only rely on his spiritual connection with the Emerald Immortal Pearl to sense and determine the direction.
However, Xiao Lingyu didn't expect that less than an hour after he entered the belly of the volcano, his spiritual connection with the Emerald Immortal Pearl would suddenly disappear. He couldn't even vaguely sense the general direction of the Emerald Immortal Pearl.
The flood dragon was still following behind, but because the environment here was very uncomfortable, it couldn't chase with all its might. It could only follow closely, but it couldn't stop Xiao Lingyu, let alone attack him.
The deeper they went, the higher the temperature of the magma. Xiao Lingyu had to change the top-grade spirit stones for the Emerald Immortal Pearl every hundred breaths. This naturally made the flood dragon very uncomfortable. If it wasn't for its uncontrollable killing intent, it would have retreated long ago.
"What should I do? Right now, I'm already in the depths of the magma sea. This place is so vast. When will I be able to find the emerald green Immortal Pearl?"
Xiao Lingyu, who was running around like a headless fly, gradually became irritated. He really didn't like this kind of situation where he had no control.
What Xiao Lingyu didn't expect was that countless cultivators were rushing over. Most of them were powerhouses at the Form Synthesis Stage and the Crossing Tribulation Stage. There were even a few at the Great Vehicle Stage.
The news that the two immortal artifacts had ended up here was actually spread by the intelligence system of the Cloud Gathering Treasure House.
Obviously, the Cloud Gathering Treasure House wanted to gather everyone here. Under their intentional control, the experts of the Dragon Subduing Valley also rushed over in large batches.
The experts of the Dragon Subduing Valley naturally knew that this trip was dangerous, but they felt that the danger they were in was actually smaller than the others. This was because they came as a group and had the advantage in overall strength, while the other cultivators were alone or in small groups of three or five.
They didn't know that a conspiracy against them had already begun. On the way here, they had been discussing how to snatch the treasure, and they didn't seem to be very nervous.
The human cultivators' large-scale invasion also angered the demon beast experts who had lived in the depths of the Desolate Ancient Forest for a long time. They also surrounded them.
Some demon beasts were the regional kings of this Desolate Ancient Forest. They brought their own people and covered the sky. They looked like an army on an expedition, which also brought a lot of pressure to the human cultivators.
However, the true experts of the Crossing Tribulation Stage or the Great Vehicle Stage were not afraid of the demon beast army. Even if they were surrounded, they were still confident that they could kill their way out. It was too difficult for such experts to stay, after all, they had at least one or two top grade spirit artifacts.
The intelligence of the powerful demon beasts was actually not inferior to that of humans. They quickly learned that two immortal artifacts had flown into the Desolate Ancient Forest, which also made their minds active.
Many demon beasts with ordinary bloodlines could transform into human form as early as when they were in the Spirit Severing Realm. In their human form, they could use magical treasures. The existence of immortal artifacts was also very attractive to them.
The human race and the demon beasts surrounded the entrance of the volcano. Many cultivators who were very confident in their own strength directly plunged into the volcano.
Everyone came to snatch the immortal artifacts, so there was nothing to hesitate about. Waiting at the entrance was impossible to snatch the immortal artifacts, and hoping that the immortal artifacts would fly out and "throw themselves into their arms" was also not very likely.
Among the cultivators of the Dragon Subduing Valley, there were three Crossing Tribulation Stage experts and one Great Vehicle Stage expert. There were also more than ten Body Integration Stage experts. After they arrived at the mouth of the volcano, the Crossing Tribulation Stage and the Great Vehicle Stage experts went down, while the Body Integration Stage cultivators all stayed outside.
In such a big scene of treasure snatching, the Body Integration Stage experts could only play a very small role.
For powerful forces like the Void Inquiry Stage and the Dragon Subduing Valley, they all left their Body Integration Stage cultivators outside mainly to prevent other cultivators from causing trouble outside the volcano.
Soon, there were no more Crossing Tribulation Stage and Great Vehicle Stage experts at the mouth of the volcano. It was also at this time that the Cloud Gathering Treasure House finally made their move. Moreover, they sent out two Great Vehicle Stage experts, six Crossing Tribulation Stage experts, and more than twenty Body Integration Stage experts. When they arrived at the mouth of the volcano, although everyone noticed them, no one paid special attention to them. Everyone thought that they were also here to snatch the treasure.
After this group of cultivators from the Cloud Gathering Treasure House arrived, they first pretended to check the mouth of the volcano, then suddenly launched a surprise attack on the cultivators of the Dragon Subduing Valley.
There was no suspense in the battle. The two Great Vehicle Stage cultivators on the Cloud Gathering Treasure House's side did not make a move at all. Only two Crossing Tribulation Stage experts led more than twenty Body Integration Stage cultivators. In less than a hundred breaths of time, they killed more than ten cultivators of the Dragon Subduing Valley who stayed outside, leaving only one person.
It was that person who used a top-grade spirit weapon to resist for a moment, and then used a very special escape technique to escape.
Of course, that person seemed to have forcibly escaped, but in fact, the Cloud Gathering Treasure House deliberately let him go back.
Even with the help of a top-grade spirit weapon, it was too difficult for a Body Integration Stage cultivator to escape in front of a Great Vehicle Stage expert.
The other Body Integration Stage cultivators who stayed at the mouth of the volcano were all very shocked. Someone actually dared to attack the cultivators of the Dragon Subduing Valley on the Feiyu Continent, and killed so many Body Integration Stage experts of the Dragon Subduing Valley in one move. This was definitely prepared.
Regardless of the sect, all the Body Integration Stage cultivators stayed away from the mouth of the volcano when the battle just broke out, fearing that they would also be affected.
What was even more unexpected was that this group of ruthless cultivators did not go down into the volcano, but scattered around the volcano, looking calm and unruffled.
Ping 'er was also among this group of cultivators. When she came, she sent a message to Xiao Lingyu, but Xiao Lingyu could not come out to see her.
Xiao Lingyu, like many experts, was looking for the two immortal treasures, but this time he did not have the slightest advantage.
He also inevitably encountered many Tribulation Stage or Great Vehicle Stage experts, but everyone was anxious to find the treasures, so there was no conflict. Of course, those experts would not stop to help him repel the flood dragon.
Xiao Lingyu wanted Ping 'er to invite an expert to help, but unfortunately, even if Ping' er was willing to help, the expert she invited might not be able to find Xiao Lingyu, because Xiao Lingyu did not dare to stop at this time.
In this way, another two hours quickly passed. Finally, there was an accident in this torrential sea of fire. Originally, there was only a surging undercurrent in the sea of magma, but at this moment, there were suddenly raging waves. Moreover, it was more like a surging river.
All the cultivators, including Xiao Lingyu, followed the direction of the magma flow. Not much time passed, and Xiao Lingyu rode the flood dragon and saw the phoenix feather.
To Xiao Lingyu's incomparable surprise, his emerald green bead had been embedded at the root of the phoenix feather, and the two immortal treasures were seamlessly combined together.
The phoenix feather was surrounded by a very large fire bird, but the fire bird's expression was very painful, and its body was constantly pouring into the phoenix feather along with the torrential magma.
The phoenix feather did not seem to be huge, but it could endlessly absorb the torrential magma, and the fire bird seemed to be forcibly imprisoned by the phoenix feather as an artifact spirit.
The emerald green immortal bead now revealed a fiery light, and the phoenix feather was even more powerful. Although it was only a feather, it appeared as proud and noble as the super divine beast fire phoenix.
Looking at the rapidly disappearing magma underground and feeling the powerful aura of the phoenix feather, all the cultivators were very surprised, and their expressions were even more fanatical than when they were in Luoyu City. Anyone could see that the quality of the two immortal treasures would definitely increase greatly after combining into one, and it was definitely not something an ordinary immortal treasure could compare to.
However, although the two immortal treasures had already combined, their evolution seemed to have not completed, so they were very unstable and violent. If everyone went over to snatch it now, they would probably be attacked by them, so the knowledgeable cultivators were very rational and did not move, and at the same time, were vigilant of other cultivators.
Xiao Lingyu did not have the time to watch, as the tribulation stage flood dragon was chasing after him, so he could only ride the Star Chaser and fly around randomly nearby.
"My relationship with the emerald green immortal bead won't be erased because it combined with the phoenix feather, right?" Xiao Lingyu thought gloomily. If that was really the case, then he would suffer a great loss.
There were also some irrational cultivators who wanted to take this opportunity to rush up and snatch the immortal treasure, but when they got close, they were seriously injured by the phoenix feather and fell back.
The phoenix feather absorbed the magma at a frightening speed, but it did not seem to be ready to absorb all the magma here. It just absorbed it without restraint for four hours, and then stopped, its whole body flickering with fiery light.
The fire bird was also completely absorbed, and in the end, its body shrunk many times and sank into the emerald green immortal bead.
The fire bird should be the fire spirit that had been nurtured in this sea of magma for many years. It was the favorite of fire-type cultivators, and also the best choice as the artifact spirit of fire-type magic treasures.
