Chapter 315 Breakthrough in Retreat
In the Scorching Mountains, somewhere in a Yun's body shuttled through the hot magma, with magma constantly retreating around him. Occasionally, some undercurrents would surge, carrying the magma towards him.
However, when these undercurrents approached a ten-foot radius around Xiao Yun, a dark flame flashed, and in an instant, it swallowed up all the magma.
Although the underground magma is extremely hot, it is still far inferior to the destructive fire...
Therefore, with the protection of the strange fire, Xiao Yun was like a fish in water in the magma. Even compared with the local creatures in the magma, his speed was not much slower.
It was a red world. Just as Tang Zhen had said, there seemed to be no other living creatures except Xiao Yun. Occasionally, there was a slight movement in the magma, which was an undercurrent gushing out from some unknown lump.
As he continued to dive to the bottom of the magma, he could no longer see the situation outside and Xiao Yun was not sure how long he had been diving. The only thing he knew was that the color of the magma had changed.
From the initial dark red, to the reddish gold, and then to the current red, the change in color also caused the temperature and pressure around the body to surge exponentially.
At a certain moment, Xiao Yun finally stopped moving. Pitch-black flames flowed in his eyes. He looked forward, where there was a stone platform suspended in the magma.
No one knew what material the stone platform was made of. Even though it was under the magma, there was no sign of melting or other symptoms. It was as if it was not in the extremely hot magma, but on the top of a mountain outside.
"This stone platform is really strange..." Xiao Yun swam slowly to the front of the stone platform and stretched out his finger to touch it. Suddenly, a thin film was released from the surface of the stone platform, isolating it from the magma from the outside.
"Could this be something left behind by Ancestor Huoyun?"
Xiao Yun thought so, there should be only a few people who know about this place. Tang Zhen doesn't have the ability to go down so deep, so it is obviously only Ancestor Huoyun.
Moreover, the depth is almost reaching the center of the earth. If he didn't have the Eight Desolate Destruction Flame, it would be difficult for him to go down to such a depth.
Immediately, Xiao Yun sat down on it. In an instant, a thin film that was even larger than the previous one appeared in the magma, isolating all the magma within a radius of ten feet.
Although the magma was isolated outside, Xiao Yun could clearly feel that an extremely pure fire energy was continuously being transmitted from the stone platform for him to absorb.
"Tsk tsk, this stone platform is really a treasure. The speed at which it absorbs earth fire energy is probably even incomparable to the lotus platform of the Azure Lotus Earth Core Fire."
Xiao Yun secretly said in his heart that the lotus platform of the Green Lotus Earth Core Fire can also absorb the attributes of earth fire and has the effect of speeding up the speed of cultivation.
However, this effect can only last until the Douhuang level at most. For him, it has long lost its effect and was thrown away in Canaan Academy.
"With this stone platform, plus the blood of the Demon Saint, I will definitely be able to break through to the Fighting Saint this time!"
Xiao Yun's mind moved, and a drop of golden blood appeared in his palm. As soon as this drop of blood appeared, the surrounding magma began to churn violently.
As the magma surged, he could feel that the earth fire energy within a hundred feet radius, centered on him, was beginning to move away...
"As expected of the blood essence of a semi-emperor, it is so overbearing!"
Noticing this scene, a smile emerged on Xiao Yun's face. The more domineering the Demon Saint's blood essence is, the more energy it contains. The more benefits he can get after absorbing it!
Then, without any hesitation, he spat out a mouthful of black flame, wrapped the Demon Saint's blood essence in it, and began to temper it.
Xiao Yun only needs the energy in it. As for blood, he already has the Xiao clan's Dou Di blood in his body. If he blindly absorbs blood from other essences, it will not only cause the blood in his body to be impure, but may also cause incompatible reactions.
The golden blood was burned in the strange fire for several hours. Although there was no fluctuation, it could be found that its volume had shrunk slightly...
Immediately, Xiao Yun opened his eyes, sucked in the air, and the flames and the demon saint's blood entered his body.
"boom!"
The moment the Demon Saint's blood essence entered his body, a muffled sound was heard, and the clothes on Xiao Yun's body exploded into powder. An extremely terrifying energy wave slowly awakened in his body and spread to the surroundings.
In an instant, this underground magma world began to boil, and countless magma undercurrents, carrying extremely ferocious force, ran rampant in it.
However, just as it was about to hit Xiao Yun, the thin film that seemed to be able to be punctured with a slight stretch of the hand actually perfectly blocked the undercurrent without even causing the slightest ripple.
At this moment, Xiao Yun had no time to pay attention to the situation outside. After the drop of Demon Saint's blood entered his body, he saw an extremely violent energy running wildly in his body and meridians, like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins.
Even though Xiao Yun had prepared himself mentally for this, he had never imagined that the energy contained in the Demon Saint's blood essence would be so violent!
If an ordinary Dou Zun strongman took it, he would probably be blown to pieces!
Fortunately, Xiao Yun is no longer a Dou Zun, but a Semi-Saint!
Besides, this is not the first or second time that he has absorbed strange fire and thunder, so he is very good at dealing with this kind of violent energy!
With a thought, the red-gold fighting spirit surged wildly, forcibly suppressing the violent energy and causing it to start running along the trajectory of the technique.
Just like that, after a great cycle of circulation, much of the violent energy in Xiao Yun's body had returned to his control, transformed into pure energy, and began to replenish himself. "Hoo! Hoo!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yun's fighting spirit realm began to rise, and at some point, a strong wind blew up from under the magma ground!
The strong wind swept through, and with Xiao Yun as the center, the magma within a hundred feet radius was affected by the strong wind and began to slowly move, forming a huge vortex.
The vortex was spinning, and the earth fire energy in it was also attracted, turning into streams of red energy columns, pouring into Xiao Yun's body. His body was like a black hole, accepting all the energy and refining it.
As time passed, the magma stopped churning and rotated quietly.
In this red space, there is no sign of life, only the energy fire pillars that burst out from the magma vortex from time to time, indicating that this is not as peaceful as it seems.
……
The outside world, Zhongzhou.
Two full years have passed since Xiao Yun entered the active volcano and went into seclusion to break through to the Douluo level!
When a year passed, Tang Zhen could no longer sit still in Fenyan Valley. According to his understanding of Xiao Yun, the latter had never practiced hard for such a long period of time.
Coupled with the surging undercurrent beneath the earth's core, the scene of Xiao Yun being killed flashed through Tang Zhen's mind from time to time, making him extremely anxious.
This anxiety reached its peak one day when Xiao Yun's confidante, teacher and others came to check on him.
At that time, Tang Zhen ignored the danger to his life and was about to go down to check, when Patriarch Huoyun showed up!
The two-star Douluo Saint Patriarch Huoyun personally went down to the inner earth to check, and brought back the news that Xiao Yun was in good condition and had entered the transformation process from Half-Saint to Douluo Saint. Only then did everyone who came to look for the latter breathe a sigh of relief.
Knowing that Xiao Yun was safe and sound, this undoubtedly reduced everyone's worries a lot, and they immediately began to do the most helpless thing, which was to wait quietly.
……
During these two years, many things have happened in Zhongzhou.
First, for some unknown reason, the Soul Palace became extremely high-profile, and went from being behind the scenes, stirring up chaos in cities that had no protection from big forces, to now stepping onto the front stage. Except for the Dan Realm, they were present in all the chaos in cities on the continent.
Moreover, once any force resists, it will be attacked by the Soul Palace!
In just a few months, the team sent by the Soul Palace wiped out nearly a hundred small forces in Zhongzhou that were commanded by Dou Zong masters, and the cities governed by these small forces were also caught in endless wars.
For a time, all the major forces in Zhongzhou were in danger. Except for Danta, forces like Fenyan Valley and Huazong, none of them could guarantee that they could survive this crisis.
What really detonated Zhongzhou was the destruction of Wanjian Pavilion, one of the four pavilions, far away in the East Region!
As a first-rate force in Zhongzhou, although its actual combat capability is not that strong, its reputation is widely known in Zhongzhou.
But overnight, Wanjian Pavilion completely became the dust of history. By the time others discovered it, the sect address of Wanjian Pavilion had already turned into a pile of ruins.
All the disciples in the pavilion were killed, even the Sword Master, who was a powerful Dou Zun, had his head chopped off and hung in the air, as if to intimidate everyone.
Although no trace of the murderer was found in the destruction of Wanjian Pavilion, everyone knew the truth clearly.
In Zhongzhou, there are only two people who have the power to do this openly. One is Danta, and the other is Soul Palace!
"Damn Soul Palace! Do they think that if they don't reveal their true colors, no one will guess that they were the ones who destroyed the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion? Aren't they afraid of provoking the wrath of the entire continent by doing this?"
In Fenyan Valley, in a majestic hall, there were nearly ten figures sitting. Among them, an old man in a green robe angrily slammed the table. The powerful force directly turned the wooden table into powder.
"Brother Feng, anger is harmful to your health. Now that there is a powerful enemy in front of us, it is not good to get hurt by anger..." An old man in a red robe, whose hair and eyebrows were all fiery red, sitting opposite the old man in green robe, advised.
"......Alas!" The old man in green robe wanted to say something after hearing this, but in the end, all his words turned into a sigh.
He is Feng Xian, who has been in charge of the Xingyun Pavilion for many years. Among the many forces, he is best friends with the Wanjian Pavilion, which is also one of the four square pavilions, and he himself is also a good friend of the Sword Master.
Three years ago, he was drinking wine with Sword Master and watching the Four-sided Pavilion Conference. Unexpectedly, before the next Four-sided Pavilion Conference came, the Four-sided Pavilion would be missing!
Yao Lao, who was sitting next to Master Feng, could understand his grief. He patted his shoulder comfortingly and said in a deep voice, "Soul Palace is doing this to stir up chaos across the continent. They must be planning some conspiracy!
Otherwise, even if it is the number one force on the continent, with the ancient soul clan behind it, it cannot withstand the joint offensive of all forces! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded and focused their attention on the former. One of them asked:
"Master Yao, do you know anything?"
Yao Lao nodded slowly and said softly: "I do know something. If my guess is correct, they are here to harvest souls!"
I was so unlucky today. A large piece of skin was cut off from my little toe. It hurt so much that I can only update two chapters.
