Chapter 321: Chapter 296 Island in the Magma_1
"Seeking death."
The middle-aged woman in the air let out a long scream. She stretched out both hands, harnessing the energy of the earth and sky. It transformed into a towering, enormous rod, which came crashing down on Lu Yan.
The formidable might made Lu Yan’s skin sting and induced a feeling of fatal danger. He quickly retreated, dodging this strike.
Boom!
The massive rod hit the ground causing vibrations like an earthquake. The earth shook as if moved by a powerful tremor. Rubble flew everywhere as the ground was pounded into a trench several hundred meters long.
The middle-aged woman dashed towards Lu Yan with a single stride, her speed incredibly fast.
She once again harnessed the power of heaven and earth, forming another massive rod and swung it at Lu Yan.
"True Dragon Splitting Skill."
Lu Yan unleashed a killing move from the True Dragon Nine Strikes. He reached out with both hands, causing the universe to howl as if it were being torn apart.
Boom!
The attacks of the two collided, but only for a moment. Lu Yan’s body was thrown as if shot from a cannon, slamming heavily into a nearby volcano. He penetrated the volcano and continued flying until he crashed into the largest volcano in the center.
Boom!
The huge rocks rolled down, the dust was thick in the air, and the entire ground started shaking violently.
The middle-aged woman’s face changed.
Because her previous strike shouldn’t have caused such commotion.
The next moment, a figure shot up high above the ground. It was Lu Yan.
His clothes were ripped and torn. There were places on his body where the scales had cracked open, bleeding.
Apart from that, it was not so bad—he had not sustained any severe injuries.
The eight supreme body refining martial arts had withstood the opponent’s attack.
Boom!
Just as Lu Yan shot into the air, a colossal pillar of fire erupted from the largest volcano.
The volcano erupted. Volcanic lava rushed out and started to scatter everywhere.
Lu Yan continually flickered, avoiding the lava projectiles.
The middle-aged woman waved and knocked away the volcanic lava rushing towards her.
However, the seven black-robed men besieging Yinuo didn’t dare to take this situation lightly. They all managed to evade the lava, no longer able to surround Shen Yinuo.
Shen Yinuo, controlling the Sun Melting Furnace, fearless of the lava, rushed out and joined Lu Yan.
Boom...Boom...Boom...
The ground was shaking madly. Fissures appeared around the erupted volcano.
Phew...phew...phew...
Streams of magma erupted from those fissures.
Not only this, the several dead volcanoes nearby were also triggered, erupting into large columns of fire.
Thick smoke billowed out, the entire scene was in chaos.
"Let’s go."
Lu Yan pulled Shen Yinuo, attempting to flee in the chaos.
However, the masters of the Primordial Spirit Realm all have cultivated spiritual senses. The middle-aged woman’s spiritual sense had already locked on to Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo. The lava and thick smoke couldn’t obstruct her vision.
"None of you are getting away."
The middle-aged woman shouted coldly with a gloomy expression on her face. She did not expect that her strike would trigger the eruption of the volcano.
She was shrouded in a layer of light aura, impervious to the lava’s heat. She charged out, and once again, by consolidating the powers of the heavenly earth, she created another towering rod. She crushed it down on both Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.
This woman was a genuine martial cultivator, and unlike those mountain people, her body did not radiate the pattern of will power.
"Block it."
Lu Yan yelled, and together with Shen Yinuo, they tried to resist.
It was difficult to resist the opponent’s attack, even with the combined strength of both of them. Under the pressure of the massive column, they fell towards the ground like falling meteorites.
Two booming noises echoed as the ground shattered and started to sink downwards.
Dazzling red light emanated from beneath the ground.
"The Primordial Spirit Realm is indeed strong, I’m currently no match for it."
Lu Yan’s mind raced as he thought of a plan.
As his cultivation level continued to improve, his understanding of the Primordial Spirit Realm became clearer.
Across the lands, there were many martial venerables who had reached the True Body Realm, yet those who reached the Primordial Spirit realm were very rare.
Looking at the vast Mansion of King Ming, King Ming’s army consisted of 300,000 soldiers, 30,000 forbidden guards, and 3,000 royal bodyguards.
Additionally, there were officials of various ranks, but the number of strong practitioners in the Primordial Spirit realm was not more than 30.
You should know, a cultivator at the Primordial Spirit realm could live for over a thousand years.
These thirty cultivators were the result of many years of accumulation.
Genius sprouted every generation, but there were only about thirty who had reached the Primordial Spirit realm.
Each of these geniuses had extraordinary talents, with an upper-grade True Body, and some even had a King’s True Body.
In theory, cultivators possessing the Lower- or middle-grade True Body can also breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit Realm, but the chances are extremely low.
In this world, more than ninety percent of those in the Primordial Spirit realm have an upper True Body.
Moreover, they had all practiced at least one divine-level martial art to the third level. With this boundary of major realms between the True Body and the Primordial Spirit realm, it was too hard for Lu Yan to make a breakthrough with his cultivation level of the Fifth Refinement of the True Body.
"Die."
The middle-aged woman chased after them. A radiating point appeared between her brows, and a metallic rod made of gold shot out.
This was a spiritual treasure unique to the Primordial Spirit realm.
Divine weapons were merely mundane. They had characteristics like extreme strength and sharpness, and they could maximize the power of some martial arts, but spiritual treasures had special powers that were far superior to divine weapons.
"Yinuo, head underground."
A firmness appeared in Lu Yan’s eyes.
Wanting to escape from the hands of a cultivator of the Primordial Spirit realm was not an easy task. Moreover, there was a stunningly beautiful woman and seven black-robed men. Each one of them was an expert among experts.
The reason he was able to put that beautiful woman in crisis with one move earlier was partly due to suddenly unleashing all his power, catching the woman off guard.
Second, the beautiful woman had underestimated him.
It was not that the stunningly beautiful women were weak, their seventh refinement of the King’s True Body was enough to pose a fatal threat to them.
If they were to be stopped by the middle-aged woman, and the other eight caught up, they would be doomed.
It would be better to enter underground, surviving in the place of death.
Both of them were decisive people; once they made up their minds, they immediately acted, spurred their True Vigor, and their bodies quickly fell downwards.
Under the earth, it was surprisingly empty, with fearsome heatwaves sweeping towards them, as if they were placed in a colossal furnace.
The Great Sun Melting Furnace floated above their heads, casting down a light curtain, immediately, the heatwaves from outside were isolated.
The two of them were falling rapidly, in the blink of an eye they had fallen a kilometer and had already reached the bottom.
Below, it was all red, as far as the eye could see, there was rolling magma.
Occasionally, a few fiery-red stone columns would emerge from the magma.
"There seems to be a small island over there."
Lu Yan discovered an island appeared among the magma ahead, far ahead, it looked like a mountain.
The middle-aged woman from above stubbornly pursued them.
Moreover, that stunningly beautiful woman and the seven men in black robes also followed in.
The two of them didn’t have time to think more, they stepped in mid-air, and flew towards the island in the magma.
"Stop."
The middle-aged woman shouted angrily, swung her golden long rod, invoking the power of Heaven and Earth, charged towards Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo.
Shen Yinuo pushed outwards with both hands, the Great Sun Melting Furnace flew out, fell into the magma, and immediately, a huge wave of magma surged up, rushing towards the middle-aged woman.
Such magma, with a shockingly high temperature, even the middle-aged woman dared not ignore it; she could only swing her rod horizontally and scatter the magma away.
They seized the opportunity to continue running forwards.
The middle-aged woman and the others desperately pursued them.
Every time the middle-aged woman neared them, Yinuo would stir a tidal wave of magma to block her.
In such an environment, Shen Yinuo was rather like a fish in water, with his extraordinary strength not only not being suppressed, but even performing above the ordinary.
No one noticed that behind them all in the magma, a gigantic head was emerging, indeed it was the Fire Jiaolong who had been battling Lu Yan for over a month.
The eyes of the Fire Jiaolong moved slightly, quietly following them.
It absolutely hated Lu Yan, wanting to quietly follow after him and find an opportunity to tear Lu Yan apart.
A moment later, Lu Yan and Shen Yinuo were already close to the island in the magma.
Only when they approached did they realize that the island was not small, with an area surpassing ten miles.
Above it, it was all smooth stones, a red expanse.
"There are Wish Patterns on it, some Martial Cultivators have been here before."
Upon seeing it, Shen Yinuo blurted out.
Wish Patterns are not Will Power Patterns.
Will Power Patterns, are related to immortals.
While Wish Patterns, are created by Martial Cultivators based on Will Power Patterns.
"Yinuo, can you see through it?"
Lu Yan’s eyes lit up.
"We can try."
Yinuo responded.
"Then we’ll go up to the island." said Lu Yan.
The two of them landed on the island, and Yinuo continued to scan around with her eyes.
Behind them, the middle-aged woman was quickly approaching, swinging her golden long rod and attacking tranquilly from the air.
"Go."
At a crucial moment, Shen Yinuo pulled Lu Yan, leapt forward and back repeatedly, swiftly making strides tens of meters forward.
Suddenly, on the island, various Wish Patterns emerged, interweaving to form a flaming red tiger, which pounced, blocking the middle-aged woman’s long rod.
"Martial Cultivator’s method."
The middle-aged woman landed at the edge of the island; her face was somewhat grim.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The stunningly beautiful woman and the seven men in black robes also followed, landing next to the middle-aged woman.
"These people dare to go up to this island, they’re really courting death. I must get away quickly. If they rile up that monster, we’ll all die."
In the magma, as the head of the Fire Jiaolong emerged, its eyes were filled with deep fear. It dived back into the magma, swiftly retreating.
"These few Wish Patterns can’t hold the other party off for much time. We must continue pressing forward."
Shen Yinuo said, continuing to observe the Wish Patterns in front of her.
Whereas Lu Yan stood behind Shen Yinuo, watching the middle-aged woman and the others attentively, ready to defend.
Boom!
The middle-aged woman, stepping on the ground, drawing the power of Heaven and Earth, swung her golden long rod, attempting to attack Lu Yan.
But in front of Lu Yan, the Wish Patterns re-appeared and transformed into a flaming tiger, blocking the middle-aged woman’s long rod.
The look on the middle-aged woman’s face was some what unsightly. She carefully examined the Wish Patterns, but in the end, she found that she could not understand them at all.
If it were the Will Power Patterns, she would not have been intrigued and could simply cross over. However, the Wish Patterns had been subjected to the modifications of Martial Cultivators and had greatly diverged from the Will Power Patterns. She could only search for a way out in the face of these patterns, or overbearingly attempt to destroy them.
"Everyone attack together, grind down these Wish Patterns."
The middle-aged woman ordered.
The stunning woman and the seven men in black robes all attacked together, casting their respective killing moves which were all blocked by the flaming tiger.
However, it was apparent that the glow of the flaming tiger was rapidly dimming.
"Lu Yan, let’s go, follow me."
Shen Yinuo pulled Lu Yan, leaping from side to side, swiftly moving forward, and in no time, they had advanced a few hundred meters.
Then, Shen Yinuo continued to study the Wish Patterns.
This island was surprisingly covered with Wish Patterns. It appeared to form a huge formation.
"The Wish Pattern formation on this island seems to be of a more defensive nature. But from the looks of it, it has been at least over a thousand years from now, its power has weakened a lot and a lot of flaws have appeared. At its peak, I wouldn’t have been able to crack it."
Said Shen Yinuo.
