Chapter 341 – Black Altar
During the next two day, all the Early Combat Soul warriors would come out from the magma pool every hour, regulate their breath and energy, then dive right back into the pool. They were very determined to find Jiang Chen and kill him.
“Damn it, what exactly is that Jiang Chen made of? He’s too insane! It has been two days since he entered the magma pool, but I have yet to see him come out. Perhaps he died in there?”
“Impossible! If he couldn’t withstand it, I’m sure he would have come out! But, two days is a long time, and even the two Mid Combat Soul princes has come out five times during these two days.”
“He’s a monster, but Wu Cong and the men from the Shangguan Clan and Myriad Sword Sect are determined to kill him, and I’m sure they won’t give up easily.”
…………
Many people discussed the events amongst each other. Since it wasn’t time for the exit to appear yet, none of them would be able to leave. Therefore, they could only spectate from an audience’s point of view. They all watched with mixed emotions as those Combat Soul warriors jumped in and out from the magma pool, and yet, none of them were able to find out where Jiang Chen was.
As for those Combat Soul warriors, after two days of searching, they had almost gone through every single inch of the entire magma pool, but they hadn’t been able to find a single trace of Jiang Chen.
“Fuck, could this guy really have disappeared into nowhere? Don’t tell me he’s really staying at the bottom of the magma pool?”
Shangguan Yilong said in a depressed manner.
“Impossible! This magma pool is more than 300 meters deep, the temperature at the bottom is incredibly high, and the pressure is enough to crush any one of us! Even the two princes can’t go down there, let alone Jiang Chen who is only a Divine Core warrior!”
“I think Jiang Chen perhaps died in there, and his body has already been burned to ashes. If not, I don’t see how he could possibly stay in there for more than two days.”
All the Combat Soul warriors were feeling gloomy. They had restlessly spent two days searching for Jiang Chen, and they had almost searched every single inch of the magma pool. But, not only Jiang Chen, they hadn’t even found the Magma’s Heart that they were all longing for.
Bang!
Suddenly, a magma pillar erupted from the surface of the magma pool. It was Wu Cong, who had just leapt out. His expression was even uglier compared to two days ago, and although he had found some good things during his trip to the Island of Ice, he had basically lost all his face because of Jiang Chen. And now, after restlessly searching for two days, he had yet to discover Jiang Chen’s whereabouts. It made him really angry.
“Prince, since we still can’t find that Jiang Chen, what should we do now?”
Yang Yun asked.
“Hmph! It’s highly possible that Jiang Chen died down there. But, just in case, we’ll just wait here.”
Wu Cong coldly harrumphed and said, “The Majestic Emperor said this before, the Island of Ice will only remain open for seven days. After that, the exit will appear, and we only have one more day until the exit appears. Since this place is the center of the Island of Ice, we’ll just wait here. If that Jiang Chen still doesn’t come out from the magma pool after one day, we’ll leave the Island of Ice.”
“Prince, what if Jiang Chen is still alive?”
Shangguan Yilong asked.
“Hmph! I’ll kill him no matter what! When the exit appears, I’ll stay there until it’s almost completely shut, and if he appears, I’ll kill him in an instant! If he doesn’t come out, that means he died in the magma pool. The Island of Ice only appears once every hundred years, I don’t believe he will risk getting trapped in here for 100 years.”
Wu Cong coldly harrumphed once again. No matter what, he was not going to let Jiang Chen slip away easily.
“Not only Jiang Chen, also that big yellow dog and those other two bastards! We need to kill them all, break their bones, and burn them into ashes!”
Ling Du gnashed his teeth in anger.
“Prince, we’ve searched for two days, but we still haven’t found the Magma’s Heart. It looks like it isn’t fully formed yet.”
Shangguan Yihong said.
“The Magma’s Heart is the hottest part of the entire magma pool. Even if there really is one, it can only be found at the deepest depth within the magma pool, and with our abilities, we can’t reach that depth. That’s why we’re unable to find it.”
Wu Lang said.
“Wu Lang, you’ve been helping that Jiang Chen all this time against me! I hope you don’t get in my way the next time, otherwise I’m going to fight you to the death!”
Wu Cong warned Wu Lang.
“Wu Cong, don’t threaten me, I don’t need you to tell me what to do.”
Wu Lang replied with a sneer, giving absolutely no face to Wu Cong.
…………
At the same time, at the bottom of the magma pool, Jiang Chen had completely transformed. After two days, the entire Magma’s Heart had been completely absorbed by him, and the benefits it brought was enormous!
Explosive sounds could be heard from Jiang Chen’s body. There were countless blood red dragons flying around his body. Within his Qi Sea, he had now formed 4,500 Dragon Marks! The Magma’s Heart had given Jiang Chen 1,500 new Dragon Marks, and not only did that make him become a Late Divine Core warrior, it had also stabilized his cultivation at the Peak Late Divine Core realm, just one step away from the Combat Soul realm!
