Immortality from Taming Elephant

Chapter 759: Chapter 336_2

The environment of the Second Layer of the Fire Domain is even harsher, and the Demonic Thought Power in the flame-laden air is deeper. If one’s foundation is not strong enough, staying here for two or three days will lead to demon possession.

The scorched earth is crisscrossed with slowly flowing lava rivers, emitting a low, viscous gurgling sound, like the pulsing of this fiery hell.

At that moment, General Wei paused as if he had discovered something.

Xu Guang hastily went over to inquire.

General Wei seemed uncertain, as if sensing a familiar aura.

Could it be... Gui Luo?

Gui Luo!?

Xu Guang’s eyes widened instantly. Gui Luo of the Double Ghosts of Lishan?

His face immediately darkened.

What an ill-fated encounter that the first living person he meets in the Fire Domain is Gui Luo.

Then...

Now his strength has increased considerably, especially with an enhancement in Demonic Thought Power, giving him some confidence in being able to slay Gui Luo.

Xu Guang stopped in his tracks, observing for a while, confirming that those fire lizard soul shadows would not continue to pursue him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The soul shadows in this Fire Domain are nastier than those in the Purple Moon Cave.

The individual strength of those fire lizard soul shadows is not formidable, but with their trait of growing stronger the more you kill, they are sure to be troublesome. Xu Guang even suspects that if the small hill contains enough fire lizard soul shadows, would killing them create a Saint Realm level soul shadow monster.

He retrieves the evil fire ore taken from the top of the small hill. It bears wave patterns, shimmering with a purple-red firelight, incredibly tough.

Earlier, Xu Guang was mistaken. This thing can serve not only as auxiliary material for Holy Artifacts but also as a Suppression Object for some Arrays, making it quite valuable.

This adventure has been worthwhile after all.

After walking roughly a few dozen miles, the temperature of the flames increases, the color deepens, and traces of black mist begin to appear in the orange-red flames.

Seemingly about to enter the Second Layer of the Fire Domain.

At that moment, ahead appears an entrance to a cave; recalling the previous encounter with the fire lizard soul shadows, Xu Guang had no desire to enter.

But at the entrance, Xu Guang saw some traces indicating human cultivators’ activity!

Frowning slightly, he indicated to General Wei to perceive if there were signs of life inside the cave.

After sensing for a while, General Wei gave Xu Guang a definite answer: there were no movements or sounds inside.

After hesitating, Xu Guang decided to go inside and take a look.

The cave extends inward, initially spacious, but soon becomes winding and descends downward.

The cave walls are dark red, hardened by high temperatures, with sporadic evil fire ore embedded in some places, emitting a faint light.

As the temperature continues to rise, Xu Guang’s clothes, comparable to a First Nirvana Divine Weapon, begin to show some scorched marks.

After advancing for roughly the time it takes to burn an incense stick, the sound of water flowing and even more astonishing heat came from ahead.

Turning a corner, the view suddenly becomes clear.

A huge underground cavern appears before him. In the center of the cavern is a magma lake about ten feet in circumference, with viscous, crimson magma slowly rolling and bubbling, emitting blinding light and terrifying heat.

Around the magma lake is fairly flat rock ground, scattered with many fragments of evil fire ore and human remains, mostly charred or crystallized.

On the other side of the cavern, there are several passages of varying sizes, leading to unknown destinations.

And near the cavern wall by the magma lake, Xu Guang noticed something that caught his eye.

There is a small area where the magma doesn’t cover, revealing the black stone below.

On the stone, shockingly, a sword was stuck?

No, not a complete sword, but a fragment of a broken sword.

The sword’s body is mostly embedded in the stone, only a foot-long hilt and a small part of the blade exposed.

Xu Guang steps forward, pulls the broken sword from the stone.

The hilt is dark gold with ancient patterns, but already heavily worn.

The exposed blade is crimson, filled with dense cracks, having long lost its Spirituality, even somewhat deformed by the heat.

However, the material is extraordinary, the wave patterns on it contain a unique characteristic, even without Spirituality, it still glints with a cold, fierce light.

Another Refining Pattern Master’s technique?

The previous owner of this broken sword, was also a Refining Pattern Master?

In this Fire Domain, Xu Guang already witnessed numerous techniques of refining pattern masters, who can compress the Power of Daoist Art into heavenly patterns, achieving extraordinary effects.

Could it be, once Immortal Venerable Han Cuo had a Dao lineage inheritance?

Their sword remains here, but where are they? Dead or departed?

However, this lava cavern gives Xu Guang an extremely uneasy feeling. He did not stay long, searching the debris-littered flat ground for a while, confirming nothing of value, he turned to leave.

Not long after he left, from the lava lake, movement slowly emerged, as if some gigantic beast was about to crawl out.

Lava flowed noisily, a terrifying aura stirred.

A huge, terrifying head emerged from the lava, shockingly... a dragon’s head!

The massive figure completely emerged from the lava, dark golden eyes emitting a bright light, distorting the surrounding air.

It turns out to be the Dragon Monarch that previously kneeled before the Supreme Coffin in the Purple Moon Cave!

The soul shadow transformed from the former mount of the Dragon Venerable.

Deprived of destiny by the High Heaven, exiled to an unknown place, unexpectedly emerging in the Fire Domain after crawling out.

...

Descending deeper into the Second Layer of the Fire Domain, Wuri felt buried, as if it could burn all under the heavens. Even the Venerable of the Second Nirvana found it truly difficult to traverse.

The Second Layer of the Fire Domain already proves difficult for the Venerable of the Second Nirvana, what of the Third Level and further beyond?

"Immortal Venerable Han Cuo, indeed so terrifying."

Refining artifacts in such a place, how extraordinary must his power be.

By comparison, the Pirate King seems lacking by one measure, also in the Supreme realm, yet when seeking the Mist Sea Tribulation, he established the Celestial Capital outside the tribulation.

Far less domineering than Han Cuo.

But Xu Guang then fell silent, realizing his own insignificance, having no right to judge the actions of two supreme beings.

Their titles alone reveal their styles—Pirate King, dubbed as the King of Thieves, indicates he’s not someone adept at direct confrontation, whereas Han Cuo differs, confronting the legendary invincible Emperor of the stars, able to devote millennia to honing his own path.

Xu Guang and General Wei continued forward, occasionally taking out the white jade gourd, replenishing water for General Wei.
