#367 - Fire lotus emerges, dragon appears
This time, Jun Wuxie was extremely cautious and did not choose to fly through the air. Instead, he plunged into the mountains and forests, running swiftly.
Along the way, he tried his best to restrain his aura.
Yesterday, because he didn't know enough about the situation in this area, he exposed himself and ran into the people of the Holy Gate.
Although he is not afraid of the younger generation of the Holy Gate now, he still doesn't want to expose himself.
Currently, he is alone, and it is not a wise choice to enter the eyes of all forces in this way.
This time, it went relatively smoothly.
He did see a few ancient remnant species along the way.
But he bypassed them all and was not noticed by them.
He didn't stop until he was about a hundred miles away from the lava sea, near the edge of that devastated battlefield.
Hiding in the dark, he observed the situation of the lava sea.
At a distance of a hundred miles, with his eyesight and the Primal Chaos True Eyes activated, everything was as clear as if it were right in front of him.
At this distance, he was not worried about being sensed by the experts of various forces.
He had long discovered that since entering this mountain range, the closer he got to the lava sea, the weaker his perception became.
There is a mysterious power in the terrifying high temperature here, as if it came from under the earth, greatly affecting people's perception.
Otherwise, he would not have discovered that the people of the Holy Gate were nearby so late yesterday.
"Good家伙, the world's nine major Overlord-level forces have actually gathered!"
Jun Wuxie swept over the people on those black mountains, his expression becoming more and more solemn.
He saw Shangguan Wan'er.
Even the Sect Master of the Demonic Imagery Sect has come, so presumably the Sect Masters and Patriarchs of other forces are also here.
He didn't see Yan Qingcheng's figure.
The situation of the Enchanting Eye Clan is special. With such a huge change in the clan, it is not surprising that Yan Qingcheng did not come.
"So many ancient remnant species, looking at that battle formation, wouldn't those few with the largest bodies all be Beast Kings?"
Jun Wuxie's face darkened. How is he supposed to play this game?
The high-level members of the world's nine major Overlord-level forces, along with a large number of Sect Emperors, Sect Kings, and true disciples, have gathered here.
The Holy Gate has even brought the Holy Son and Holy Maiden.
Jun Wuxie carefully looked at the other forces, and it seemed that no Holy Sons or Holy Maidens had arrived.
He didn't recognize the Holy Sons and Holy Maidens of the various forces, but judging from the feeling the Holy Son and Holy Maiden of the Holy Gate gave him, there were none among the young martial artists of the other forces.
It would be fine if it was just the nine Overlord-level forces.
There are also so many ancient remnant species, each Beast King followed by many powerful clansmen.
"I have to make a choice and prioritize..."
He pondered to himself.
"The most urgent thing at the moment is to find the Solar Divine Gold. It is not yet known whether there is Solar Divine Gold in this lava sea, but it must be investigated. This is the most important thing."
"The Fire Lotus is secondary, but at the same time, the difficulty is probably the highest. As for the Fire Flood Dragon's physical body, it is the least important. I might as well give up temporarily and let the people of the various forces compete with the ancient remnant species, so that I can reduce my pressure."
Jun Wuxie made a decision in his heart.
First, the Solar Divine Gold, second, the Fire Lotus. With both of them obtained, he would consider whether to compete for the Fire Flood Dragon's physical body depending on the situation!
He first checked the remaining Spring of Life on his body.
After looking at it, there were only a hundred drops left.
He divided the Spring of Life into two equal parts.
He released the Primal Chaos Incarnation and gave one part of the Spring of Life to the incarnation.
Then, the incarnation continued to lurk here, while the true body, a hundred miles away from the lava coast, bypassed the long coastline and went to the opposite bank of the lava sea.
This lava sea is really not small.
Jun Wuxie sneaked for thousands of miles.
It can be calculated that the diameter of the lava sea is at least more than a thousand miles!
When he got here, he hid and quietly observed the situation of the lava sea.
From time to time, low roars came from the fiery red sea.
Along with the roars, in the central area of the lava sea, waves would rise, rolling up hundreds of feet high, like walls of fire rushing into the sky and then crashing down.
As time passed, the temperature of the lava sea became higher and higher, and there were more and more gurgling bubbles inside. The entire lava sea began to boil.
A day later, golden light shone down from the sky.
Jun Wuxie looked up at the sky and couldn't help being stunned.
The thick fire clouds in the sky corresponding to the central position of the lava sea had dispersed.
Through the scattered fire clouds, a round of golden blazing sun appeared in his sight.
The sun was different from what he had seen in the past. The golden-red color was particularly rich.
The sunlight passed through the cracks in the clouds and gathered into a beam, shining down.
In that beam of sunlight, Jun Wuxie's Primal Chaos True Eyes saw incomparably pure solar elemental factors!
"That is... Solar Essence!"
His heart skipped a beat. How could there be Solar Essence?
Solar Essence is the most fundamental energy of the sun. According to ancient books, this energy only exists in the most core position inside the sun.
"It seems that the news that Brother Su Ji got is not right! If it's just that the Fire Flood Dragon is running out of lifespan, how could this phenomenon occur?"
He secretly paid attention while pondering.
Rumble!
Before long, in the central area of the lava sea illuminated by the Solar Essence, the lava began to riot and slowly rotate, the speed becoming faster and faster.
In a moment, a huge vortex appeared there.
Under the bottomless vortex, strands of golden-red light shone out, echoing the Solar Essence.
At this time, on the lava surface near the edge of the vortex, terrifying waves suddenly rose, accompanied by low roars and chilling powerful pressure!
A creature like a giant python, in the surging lava sea, circled the vortex, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing.
Suddenly, a huge head, like a dragon but not a dragon, like a python but not a python, with a single horn, rushed out of the lava sea, opened its mouth, and spewed out incomparably blazing flames at the center of the vortex.
"What is it doing?"
Jun Wuxie's Primal Chaos True Eyes saw clearly that the Fire Flood Dragon was spewing out its own Source Fire Essence!
Is it trying to kill itself?
Just as he thought.
The Fire Flood Dragon's aura rapidly weakened in the process of spewing out the Source Fire Essence. The feeling was like its realm was rapidly falling.
And at the center of the vortex, the golden-red light became more and more intense.
A beautiful, fiery red and crystal clear lotus flower slowly rose from the vortex.
The lotus flower was only the size of a sea bowl, with a total of thirty-two petals and nine lotus leaves below.
Whether it was the petals or the leaves, they were crystal clear, burning with golden-red flames, looking extremely beautiful.
"Fire Lotus!"
Jun Wuxie saw the Fire Lotus again, but this time he saw it more clearly than two years ago.
At that time, his eyesight was too weak, and he could only see a rough outline.
"Is it bathing in the Solar Essence?"
Seeing this, Jun Wuxie suddenly had a shocking guess in his heart.
This guy, at the cost of consuming its Source Fire Essence to help the Fire Lotus absorb the Solar Essence, is it trying to devour it after the Fire Lotus transforms, so as to transform into a dragon?
Just then.
Near the vortex guarded by the Fire Flood Dragon, blazing sword light, fist marks, palm prints, and saber light suddenly bombarded down from the sky.
Hiss!
The Fire Flood Dragon let out a long roar, and its flood dragon body, submerged in the lava, rushed out. The body, which was thousands of meters long, was like a volcano.
On that body, the fiery red scales were even larger than pot lids!
The flood dragon tail swayed in the air.
With a bang.
All the sword energy, saber light, palm prints, and fist marks that attacked it were shattered.
Dang!
A metallic tremor, sparks flying everywhere.
Hundreds of Seven Star Spiritual Weapons were all knocked away.
The scene made Jun Wuxie speechless.
His Primal Chaos True Eyes saw clearly.
The Fire Flood Dragon, having lost a lot of Source Fire Essence, has now fallen to at most the peak of the Sect King realm.
But under the joint attack of hundreds of Sect Kings, this guy casually resolved it with one tail!
Powerful and strong!
At least the bloodline growth intensity of a peak Eternal King!
It might even be Quasi-World-Transcending grade!
This guy is a sacred beast, a well-deserved sacred beast!
"It seems that, in a short period of time, the Sect Kings of the various forces can't do anything to the Fire Flood Dragon. However, it has lost too much Source Fire Essence and is very weak itself. If it continues to be consumed, it will become weaker and weaker..."
As he pondered this, he looked at the fiery red lava sea and immediately sank his mind into the Eternal Divine Palace.
"Hey, wake up!"
He came to the Blazing Sun Flower. This guy was drooping its flower plate, as if it was asleep.
He shouted a few times without any movement, so he reached out and shook it.
"Damn it, who dares to shake your grandpa..."
The Blazing Sun Flower woke up and immediately shut its mouth when it saw that it was Jun Wuxie.
It already had a psychological shadow of this human.
This is the most ferocious and unscrupulous human it has ever seen!
"I need you to help me with something."
"You? Need my help?" Hearing this, the slightly curved flower plate stem of the Blazing Sun Flower suddenly straightened, looking just like a spoiled child, "Why should I help you? What's in it for me?"
"What benefits do you want?" Jun Wuxie said lightly, "If you don't help me with this matter, we will all be finished, and you will never want to continue staying here. How about it, is the soil here fertile?"
"Damn, are you scaring me, kid?"
Jun Wuxie pointed to the Town Boundary Pagoda and said, "Did you see that, the second floor? The things inside are about to come out. If you don't get the divine gold that can repair it, you should know the consequences."
The Blazing Sun Flower immediately trembled, and a few flower seeds fell off.
It knew too well. When the things at the bottommost layer wanted to come out, it was in the Eternal Divine Palace, and it felt it very clearly. That was simply infinitely terrifying.
"You're ruthless! For my peanuts, I promise you! What do you want me to do?"
"I am currently standing before a sea of magma with extremely high temperatures. I'm going to the bottom of the magma sea to see if there is any Sun God Gold to repair the Town宇 Pagoda. When the time comes, I'll prop up a blood energy sphere, and you'll be responsible for absorbing the magma's fire elements, allowing me to maintain the blood energy sphere for a long time without it breaking."
"What kind of magma sea is it? With your freakish physique, even millions of degrees of high temperature wouldn't burn you to death. What are you afraid of?"
Jun Wuxie didn't say anything, instructing the Fiery Sun Flower to restrain its own high temperature, and then took it out of the Eternal Life Divine Palace, placing it within his Heavenly Cave.
"Holy crap!"
The Fiery Sun Flower exclaimed, staring dumbfounded at the scene inside his Heavenly Cave.
"Are you a monster?"
It was stunned. What kind of Heavenly Cave was this? How could it be cultivated into such a terrifying scene inside?
That Natal Star, it couldn't even be seen, and it could even devour?
It remembered that many years ago, its previous master, such an outstanding expert, didn't have such a scene inside his Heavenly Cave either.
"Making a fuss over nothing."
Jun Wuxie opened the Heavenly Cave, allowing the outside aura and scenery to be presented before it.
The Fiery Sun Flower immediately became excited, howling all over.
"This is Earth Core Fire, and there's Earth Flame Essence inside! Quickly let me out, I want to take a bath!"
Jun Wuxie: …
He asked, "How is it? With this kind of magma sea, if I go down, can you reduce the burning of my blood energy sphere by the flames?"
"Of course, no problem! Hurry down into the sea, quick!"
Jun Wuxie immediately propped up a golden blood energy sphere and plunged headfirst into the magma.
