Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God

Chapter 1855: Chapter 1855: Magma Understream

At this moment, the sky-net formed by millions of ants locked down the area within several kilometers completely. Hidden in the shadows, the Ant Race Marshal secretly commanded, unless Li Feng could kill all the millions of ants here, there was no possibility of him escaping alive.

Hmph.

The Ant Race Marshal Aled watched this human struggle like a trapped beast, still attempting to break through the siege. Had he not been caught off guard just now, how could he have been allowed near the Ant Queen?

In the end, it was because the Ant Race did not take Li Feng seriously here, confident in their millions-strong military formation.

And so came the tragedy.

Who would have thought a lone human would dare to not only stand fearless before millions of Ant Race troops but also provoke them?

But this time, you won’t escape.

Aled gritted his teeth silently, his antennae constantly issuing commands. The Giant King Ants on the ground were also ready to act, with some special ants hidden among them taking aim at the descending Li Feng.

Countless ants all focused on Li Feng. But at this moment, Li Feng swayed, feigned an attack, and with the King Sword blazing a trail, charged into a wave of ants.

This wave of Flying King Ants was not to be outdone, self-destructing one after another. The ensuing fiery wave pushed away the surrounding pursuers, propelling Li Feng at the explosion’s center downward like a cannonball toward the volcanic crater below.

Li Feng planned to put on a show; diving headfirst into the crater by choice and getting blown into it were two different things.

He intended to lure these ant swarms, having noticed a strong ant was responsible for covertly directing the ant military.

Otherwise, there was no way they could encircle him this tightly, with blockades appearing as soon as gaps were broken.

Hoo.

Li Feng fell toward the crater, which was filled with rolling magma, bubbling continuously. This truly felt like jumping into a fiery pit.

Li Feng took a steady breath, Thunder Flame Armor covering his body, domineering gang qi enveloping his surroundings, and Vermilion Bird Bloodline activating to enwrap his body with Vermilion Bird Wings, forming three layers of defense. But whether they could resist this magma was still unknown.

Even if they could hold for a while, how long they could last was uncertain to Li Feng, as he had never tried this before; it was a gamble.

Whether he could find life amid death, even Li Feng felt trepidation.

But with the situation at this point, there was no retreat. A distance of hundreds of meters was covered in the blink of an eye, and Li Feng slammed into the crater like a cannonball.

Instantly, the magma was blasted into a pit, but in the blink of an eye, it was covered by the surrounding magma without leaving a single ripple.

The million-strong Ant Race army stood agape watching Li Feng fall into the crater. One ant leader, clenching its teeth, said, "That human got off easy, falling into the crater; otherwise, we’d tear him (to pieces—used literally but implies pulverization)."

Several other ant leaders also flew to Aled’s side.

"Marshal, with that human falling into the crater, he likely faces certain death. Shall we retreat to the nest?"

Aled furrowed his brow, looking at the crater.

"Are you all sure he’s definitely dead?"

Questioned by Aled, the ant leaders exchanged glances, and one replied, "Marshal, the volcano’s magma is searing. A mere human can’t possibly withstand it."

"Hmm, he’s not an ordinary human but one with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline. And which of you could have anticipated his reaching the Ant Queen’s presence and even injuring her?"

Aled glanced at his subordinates, leaving the ant leaders speechless.

"But since he fell into the volcano, there’s no way to know if he’ll survive, maybe he’s already melted to slag."

One leader hesitated and said.

"Indeed, even with the Vermilion Bird Bloodline, this volcanic magma is not just any fire; the Earth Core Fire within is hot enough to melt metal and stone. In this Molten Lava Land, only the Earth Fire Python could use volcanic magma as a bath."

"Let’s guard this place. Even if he can hold for a moment, he can’t stay for long."

"Hmm, we’ll station here for a day."

Aled ordered directly.

"All troops, divide into three groups and take turns guarding. If he escapes, you may as well jump into the crater yourselves to atone for facing the Queen."

"Yes."

With Aled’s command given, the million-strong ant army reorganized, splitting into three parts for readiness.

Li Feng fell into the crater, continuously sinking, surrounded by flowing magma. The outer layer of domineering protection didn’t last long, compressed by the magma around him, prompting Li Feng to quickly activate the Burning Technique.

Amid this magma, there was no shortage of Fire Element Energy, which poured endlessly into his body, restoring some of Li Feng’s depleted Golden Core Power.

Thereafter, Li Feng drew upon his power to maintain the Protective True Gang. This Protective True Gang was not only an invisible domineering aura but also contained Thunder Flame Fire, not inferior to the Earth Fire, remaining unbroken.

The fire element energy contained in the Earthfire is incredibly terrifying, and the natural energy is rampant and chaotic; ordinary people wouldn’t dare to absorb it directly because the energy that the Golden Core can convert is not unlimited.

However, Li Feng is different. The terrifying Earthfire power that comes squeezing in penetrates directly through the Protective Gang Qi, continuously flooding into Li Feng’s body.

The energy rushes through his meridians like a fierce beast, charging into his dantian, but Li Feng’s dantian is equally terrifying.

The Thunder Flame Golden Core sits in the center, surrounded by three major abnormal fires like satellites: Vermilion Bird Fire, Candle Dragon Fire, and Fire-eating Blue Flame.

These three all represent existences more advanced than natural Earthfire. Seeing this surge of energy approaching, the three fire seeds begin to tear and absorb the energy as if fearing that they would absorb less and thus be at a disadvantage compared to the other two abnormal fires.

This rampant Earthfire? Does not exist.

What leaves Li Feng a bit speechless is that the speed at which the three fire seeds devour makes his Golden Core only able to pick the leftovers, which is quite excessive.

Li Feng can only consciously control the Earthfire power entering his dantian, dividing it in half for the three abnormal fires to consume, leaving the remainder for the Thunder Flame Pill to absorb, replenishing the consumption from the moment when he opened the Eight Gates.

The continuous absorption of Earthfire by Li Feng even leads to the magma surrounding the Protective Gang Qi beginning to solidify, clearly indicating that too much Earthfire power has been absorbed.

Li Feng is single-mindedly focused on recovery, thinking that once he is full, he will battle this ant army for three hundred rounds.

The Earthfire power flows endlessly into his body, transforming quickly; his previous worries are entirely unnecessary now.

It seems that with his current power, he could thoroughly bathe in the magma.

Time passes unknowingly.

Li Feng, who has mostly recovered, extends his Divine Thought from the magma. Outside of the volcano, the ant army is still in full alert, surrounding the sky and the ground, leaving no gaps.

They didn’t fall for it.

Li Feng feels a bit troubled; though he has now recovered, and can indeed use the volcano to continually recharge himself, meaning he could potentially exhaust this million-strong ant army.

However, Li Feng can’t guarantee that killing this batch would prevent the ant army from gaining reinforcements.

The Ant Queen has been hit by the Soul Devouring Needle; even if it is an Overlord-level Lord, in Li Feng’s eyes it is doomed; it’s only a matter of time.

Especially since the Ant Queen’s strength isn’t noted for itself, the Bi Fang Bird’s previous disdain for the Ant Queen wasn’t without reason, but the Ant Queen’s ant army is indeed powerful.

Too many ants can kill even an elephant.

Even at the late stage of the Golden Core or at the Absolute Peak, one cannot claim that their Golden Core Power is unlimited.

If he really goes out, once the Ant Queen hangs, the ant race will undoubtedly fight to the death.

Li Feng takes a deep breath.

The plan for now.

Is to leave quietly.

But under the watchful eyes of countless onlookers, how can Li Feng leave, even waiting until nightfall would be useless.

While thinking, Li Feng suddenly looks down at his feet.

He has been constantly absorbing Earthfire, and the Earthfire power keeps coming. Moreover, Li Feng had studied geography, so even if the Kunlun World differs from the outside world and belongs to the realm of ’Heavenly round and earthly square,’

the magma underground should still be interconnected, or rather, the magma throughout the Molten Lava Land should be connected, with surface volcanoes being like acne, merely meant to release energy.

Thus, by diving into this volcanic mouth, he can find the subterranean magma river, which could lead him to the exit at the next volcano mouth.

Li Feng has no worries about finding an exit; the volcanoes in this Molten Lava Land are incredibly dense, with one nearly every three to five kilometers.

Moreover, Li Feng can feel the continuous outflow of Earthfire power from below; otherwise, the Earthfire power he absorbed earlier would have solidified the surrounding magma into Volcanic Stone.

Li Feng begins to sink; the Earthfire power around him grows increasingly turbulent, with the squeezing pressure causing the Domineering Gang Qi to teeter on the brink of collapse.

Li Feng can only shrink his Protective Gang Qi to its smallest, while frantically operating the Burning Technique, converting and absorbing the Earthfire power to maintain the Domineering Gang Qi from being crushed.

In the magma, Li Feng is unable to see, relying solely on Divine Sense to probe his surroundings, but the range is extremely limited, groping downward like a blind man searching.

By feeling the flow of the Earthfire, he determines its direction, as Earthfire power flows from the bottom toward the volcanic mouth because it acts as a release outlet.

Unknowingly, he descends several meters; the squeezing pressure around him grows more and more substantial, making it difficult for Li Feng to sustain himself. At this moment, Li Feng notices another flow of Earthfire.

It’s not just a simple upward flow — there’s a current moving to one side.

He’s found it, a covert magma river.

Li Feng takes a deep breath, beginning to move along this covert magma river, eagerly anticipating the sensation of the next upward flow of Earthfire, which should indicate another volcanic mouth.
