Chapter 1833: Chapter 1833: Crisis Is Also Opportunity
The domineering Gang Qi outside of Li Feng’s body also reached its limit. Facing the endless self-destruction of the Fire Ants, the splattering Molten Lava Acid Liquid underneath had already converged into a river, and the domineering Gang Qi was also enveloped by Molten Lava Acid Liquid. The Molten Lava Acid Liquid spewed by the Fire Ants was just like magma, though fluid, it was very viscous. A single Fire Ant’s spew of Molten Lava Acid Liquid might be akin to a raindrop, but when the quantity was sufficient, it could create a rain.
And when time stretched long enough, this Molten Lava Acid Liquid was enough to pile up into a small hill.
Gradually, Li Feng was buried by the Molten Lava Acid Liquid, completely obscuring his figure.
Li Feng felt as if he was trapped in a swamp, with Molten Lava constantly pressing in from all sides, shrinking the domineering Gang Qi further and further, even unable to maintain a distance of one meter.
Continuing like this, the domineering Gang Qi would soon be corroded to the point of collapse, although Li Feng still had a layer of Thunder Flame Armor for protection, but that was the last line of defense.
If hopelessly caught like this, he would truly be buried alive by this group of Fire Ants.
The Molten Lava Acid Liquid was not only highly corrosive but also possessed the temperature of magma, with Earth Fire-like heat.
Despite being smothered from all sides, seemingly buried alive, this small space emitted an astonishing amount of Fire Element Power.
If it were someone else, facing this immensely active Fire Element Power which seemed ready to explode, they would already be in despair. If one couldn’t withstand it, they’d instantly be turned into dried fish, then scorched into charcoal.
Li Feng calmed his thoughts and sat cross-legged; what was a nightmare for others wasn’t necessarily for him, Li Feng immediately operated his Burning Technique.
The Burning Technique inherently had the effect of absorbing the surrounding Fire Element Power into his body’s meridians. That day in the Underground Palace City’s Eighteen Layers of Hell, those War Slaves absorbed Fire Element Power from a place filled with molten lava to enhance themselves.
The enhancement effect was evident, but the side effects were also very notable. After all, the Fire Element Energy was overly active, and absorbing too much meant that if the body couldn’t withstand it, one would end up like an inflated balloon, bursting under pressure.
But Li Feng’s Golden Core was different; not only did it possess dual Thunder Flame attributes, but it also had a powerful devouring ability like a black hole, capable of absorbing any amount of power without ever feeling overstuffed.
As the Burning Technique operated, Fire Element Power continuously gathered in Li Feng’s Dantian through his meridians, and within the Dantian, the Golden Core began to rotate, with Candle Dragon Fire and Vermilion Bird Fire intertwining like Yin Yang Fish.
This Fire Element Power was first mostly devoured by these two, and then absorbed by the Thunder Flame Golden Core. Instantly, the Fire Element Power absorbed by the Burning Technique was emptied.
And with this wave of absorption, the layer of Molten Lava Acid Liquid almost pressing against the domineering Gang Qi solidified instantly, just like flowing volcanic lava meeting the cold and solidifying. Losing its Fire Element Power, it turned into a crimson rock wall.
And this crimson rock wall was identical to the mountain walls on both sides. Clearly, Death Valley was not the same as it appeared today; the mountain walls on both sides were almost all nests built by the Fire Ants, yet how grand the nest was, probably no one knew.
By forming a layer of rock wall and unable to absorb Fire Element Power, Li Feng directly crushed and drilled through the surrounding rock wall using his domineering energy, breaking the rock layer. Immediately, new Fire Element Power surged in.
Li Feng welcomed it without hesitation, greedily devouring the power from the Molten Lava Acid Liquid. This Molten Lava Acid Liquid was essentially the essence nurtured in the belly of these Fire Ants. Each Fire Ant’s belly could probably accumulate only a raindrop size in its lifetime.
To others, this might be deadly poison, but in Li Feng’s eyes, it was completely a Ten-Complete Rejuvenation Pill. Li Feng had improved his strength quickly before, but had poor foundation, for he had only been in Kunlun Void for less than six months combined.
If one were to follow the rules and cultivate step by step, it would take around ten years, even eight years, just to achieve the Golden Core stage. Just like Qin Hu from the Hunting Group, who due to his origin, risked his life in the Barbaric lands to gain resources for achieving Golden Core.
For this, he struggled for more than ten years, before eventually saving enough money to buy an Earth Spirit Pill that would help him advance, which was the reality.
Li Feng, if not for forcibly breaking through by swallowing a flawed Earth Spirit Pill to escape an ambush, would not have obtained the mutated Purple Flame and gained devouring enhancement ability.
Though relying on swallowing others’ energies for rapid advancement was possible, the foundation was evidently insufficient, as shown in his previous confrontation against Zeng Xingtian. However, Li Feng had no time to enhance his knowledge base, yet he needed to become stronger quickly, and there was only one path to take.
That was to possess even more powerful Golden Core Power, just like in the realm of Dragons, where Xu Zhu may know nothing but directly inherited the century-old power from Xiaoyao Zi, relying on this assurance to be invincible.
Same level might not mean much, but if overpowered, all skills and techniques become clouds, and having this assurance allows natural integration of those Daoist Skills with half the effort but twice the result.
In any case, seize the opportunity and devour, devour, devour.
Layer upon layer of barriers broke, and the abundant Fire Element Power was swallowed by Li Feng, causing the aura around him to grow stronger and stronger. As the Fire Element Power absorbed was sufficient, Li Feng’s meridians in his limbs, though just for transmission, would also be nourished, and his flesh continued to be tempered.
Iron can be refined a hundred times into steel.
Li Feng’s flesh also became more refined under this continuous tempering, with some impurities inside his body burned away, and every cell within seemed infused with fire, becoming more active.
Suddenly, Li Feng opened his eyes.
The domineering Gang Qi expanded again to a distance of ten meters outward, enveloping Li Feng with thick molten rock walls formed by small hills around him. Continued absorption of Fire Element Power was significantly less effective, and the Fire Ants nearby seemed to no longer fix their gaze on Li Feng.
After all, Li Feng was covered by a mountain formed from Molten Lava Acid Liquid, with almost no sign of life.
The next second.
Li Feng’s body was like a small sun, instantly releasing a scorching wave of fire, rushing out through created air vents around.
The searing hot air wave with Li Feng’s tangible domineering aura directly shattered the surrounding molten rock wall, with crack lines spreading across the dozens of meters thick rock wall.
Then, just like a volcanic eruption, unable to contain the power’s outburst any longer, the dozens of meters thick molten rock wall cracked open explosively, impacting the significantly sparser ant swarm around, either crushed to pieces or squeezed into fragments by the subsequent onrushing domineering fire wave.
Instantly, within a radius of a mile, countless Fire Ants burst apart, and the sky seemed to rain fire once again.
And the instigator of it all, Li Feng, slowly rose up, Vermilion Bird Wings unfolding gently behind him as he stepped forward, the wings vibrating and in the next second, with a tiptoe, he soared into the air.
