Chapter 1041 Cultivating the Purgatory Great Flame Devil (1/2)

Countless ancient runes were carved into the walls around the lava lake. These runes completely sealed off the lava lake below, making the place akin to a cauldron with a constantly rising heat.

Zhou Yuan stood on the cliff, his face turning a little solemn as he felt the heat wash over him. The high temperature was already faintly tingling his skin, a small taste of how frighteningly hot it would be when he ventured deeper.

Chi Jing had helped inscribe the runes to create this unique training environment for Zhou Yuan because the environment was necessary to cultivate the Purgatory Great Flame Devil art.

Zhou Yuan patted the spatial bag at his waist. Light rapidly flashed around him as several cases appeared, each case as tall as a human.

The cases opened, revealing their insides filled to the brim with scarlet-red crystals. Faint white smoke rose from the crystals as a terrifying heat rippled from them.

These were fire smoke crystals, a material that would only form deep underground after being refined thousands of times. The crystals absorbed the fire Genesis Qi deep underground and gave off extreme heat.

With a flick, Zhou Yuan sent all the fire smoke crystals pouring into the lava lake.

Rumble!

Giant waves rose from the lake as its scarlet-red hue deepened. The temperature began to rise at an alarming pace, and even the air started to distort a little.

Zhou Yuan did not stop there. He took out several dozen different rare ingredients and also threw them into the lake.

The environmental conditions to cultivate the Purgatory Great Flame Devil art was exceptionally demanding and required a mix of numerous precious resources. Fortunately, Zhou Yuan had a very special position in the Tianyuan Region. Otherwise, a mere chief pavilion master would never be allowed to waste resources so freely.

The preparations were complete two hours later.

When one looked towards the lava lake again, one would see a lot of scarlet-red crystal dust sparkling within it. The terrifying temperature made the corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth twitch a little.

He had a feeling that some of the weaker initial Heavenly Sun experts would quickly turn to ash if they jumped into the lake.

And he had to train in this very same lake...

The Purgatory Great Flame Devil art was truly terrifying. Who knew how much suffering it would take to master it?

Huu.

Zhou Yuan took a deep breath as determination arose in his eyes. There was no such thing as an easily gained power in this world. Others only saw how he repeatedly created miracles, but how could they imagine the amount of effort behind each one?

He took a step forward, and his body plummeted from the cliff.

Splas.h.!.+

His figure fell straight into the lava lake.

Lava rushed towards him from every direction, accompanied by a dreadful heat. It instantly burned Zhou Yuan’s skin, and his flesh groaned in misery as all the hairs on his body burned away.

An intense burning pain erupted. Zhou Yuan felt as if he was being melted; however, the mangled flesh on his face made it impossible for anyone to tell what expression he was wearing.

The Purgatory Great Flame Devil art was an extremely tyrannical skill. To learn it, one needed to have a body with good foundations. If one’s body were too weak, it would be burnt to cinders even before cultivation could begin.
